Start in Night City

Chapter 235

Jack glanced at Lidya Su: "He is my friend and the priest's friend. Even if the priest is here, he will not refuse to let his friends be present."

"But he is still an outsider."

"He saved my men. He is my friend Gustavo. I agree to let him stay," Gustavo said coldly. "Gonzales, if you are dissatisfied, you can just leave." , the gate is over there, please help yourself."

Gonzalez looked a little embarrassed when he saw Gustavo speaking.

The Gustavo family is the most powerful family among the Valentinos.

He can't afford it.

So he decided to find himself an ally.

"Manuel, aren't you going to say a few words? Don't you have any objections at all?"

"In the history of Valentino, there have been precedents for outsiders to participate. If Jack feels that Mr. Su is suitable here, then I have no objection."

Gonzalez was rejected.

Seeing that Gonzalez had nothing to say, Jack continued.

"Everyone, I think you all already know the reason for inviting you here..."

But before Jack could finish.

Juan interrupted unceremoniously.

"Jack, are you speaking here now?"

Lidya Su squinted her eyes.

Once was a coincidence.

Not twice.

The Valentino gang doesn't seem to be monolithic.

Although Su Xiao can understand it, after all, even within the company, the competition between various departments is very cruel and fierce.

But now we have a powerful enemy, and our own people are not united and are engaging in internal strife.

Is this...

Gustavo was very dissatisfied and said: "Now that the priest has been assassinated and seriously injured and hospitalized, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the priest's side cannot be without someone to take the lead."

"So let him come?"

Jack frowned: "Mr. Juan, what on earth do you mean?"

"What do I mean? No, I don't mean anything. What I want to say is, thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi. Should the priest vomit out what he ate a few years ago?"

Seeing that they were all playing riddles, Su Xiao asked Marcus next to him.

"Marcus, what does he mean by these words?"

"Mr. Su, you don't know something." Marcus said helplessly.

Later, with Marcus' explanation, Su Xiao finally understood why Juan and the others had feelings for Jack and the priest's power.

It turns out that a large part of the territory that the priest now occupies belongs to the Juan family.

A few years ago, a civil strife broke out in the Juan family, and many people died.

The opposition was dissatisfied with Juan, the current patriarch of the family, so he changed his family and took refuge under the priest.

Not only was it given to many of the priest’s men for free.

He also gave the priest a lot of land for free.

This naturally made Juan feel extremely dissatisfied.

It's just that the situation was stronger than the people at that time, and there was nothing he could do.

But now, the priest was attacked by the Sixth Street Gang and was seriously injured and hospitalized.

In Juan's view, this is an opportunity.

So before coming, Juan got through with Gonzalez and Hernandez.

Juan is willing to pay some price in exchange for Gonzalez and Hernandez to support him.

Therefore, when Juan came in response to Jack's call, he didn't come to help at all.

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up the priest's place.

To avenge the past.

Of course Jack disagreed, not to mention that he and the priest were old acquaintances.

Even if Juan and the others wanted to take advantage of the situation, Jack would not agree.

At the same time, this made Su Xiao, who was standing aside without speaking, realize that the Valentino Gang is so ununited. No wonder Heywood is clearly a Mexican territory, but even the Lijing District was invaded by the Sixth Street Gang and has not been able to do anything until now. Grab it back.

This is really a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman and shooting him in the back.

At this time, Gustavo stood up.

"Juan, if you want to make a fuss, don't even look at the time. We start a fight among ourselves. What do you think the Sixth Street Gang will think of us?"

Juan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "I don't care what they think about it. Besides, the Clementi family of the Sixth Street Gang is only targeting the priest, not us. Why are you so anxious, Gusta?" fertile."

In fact, Juan is not really stupid, but he has his own plan.

He knew why the Clementi family of the Sixth Street Gang targeted the priest for assassination.

That's because the priest is the only one who competes with the Sixth Street Gang for the Lijing District and can overpower the Sixth Street Gang's power.

Juan's power has the smallest interest in Lijing District, and can even be ignored.

Therefore, Juan does not mind giving up Lijing District to the Sixth Street Gang.

He couldn't take over the Sixth Street Gang anyway.

But the priest's territory is different.

You can get it without much risk.

Anyway, the priest is lying in the hospital now.

When he woke up, the day lilies were cold.

That's what Juan thinks.

This is why Juan choked Jack.

"Juan." Jack's eyes also turned cold, even the word "Sir" was missing.

"I know what happened between you and the priest. The priest's territory cannot be given to you. When the priest wakes up, I can talk to him and maybe ask him to compensate you in other ways."

"You talk to the priest?" Juan smiled. "Not to mention that the priest is impossible to give in. What kind of famous person are you, Jack? You don't think you can enter the "afterlife", so you really treat yourself like an onion. Alright

? "

Juan's words were hard to hear.

But he has crazy capital.

Because in his opinion, mercenaries are mercenaries.

Maybe meet a few friends and form a team.

How many people are there?

You must know that he is the leader of the Juan family, and he has hundreds of subordinates who all obey his command.

and.

He still has money.

Are you worried that you can't buy powerful mercenaries if you have money?

"So, you are going to cause trouble no matter what?"

"How can I ask for trouble? It can only be regarded as returning the property to its original owner. Since the priest accepted the subordinates who betrayed me a few years ago, he should have expected that such a day would come."

"good good good good."

Jack said several good words in succession.

"Since you insist on doing this, there is only one way." Jack stared closely into Juan's eyes, "I will challenge you to a duel before the gods."

As soon as these words came out, the office suddenly became quiet, as if it were deathly silent.

Not only Marcus and Gustavo, but also Juan and others on the opposite side also looked shocked.

He looked in disbelief, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.

Juan swallowed: "You...what did you say?"

"Dueling before God, don't you insist on taking the priest's territory? Then let the Holy Death make the decision."

Everyone except himself had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Su Xiao asked Marcus quietly.

"Marcus, what is a duel before the gods?"

Marcus answered on the communication channel.

"Dueling before the gods is a custom used by the Valentino gang to resolve disputes. It is a special trial in which two people who criticize each other fight with weapons, and the winner receives the name of justice under the gaze of the Holy Death."

"Due to the special and sacred nature of the duel before the gods, when both parties agree to voluntarily engage in it, they will not be allowed to abstain, leaving only a fight to the death, and all the grievances between the two parties will also be destroyed along with the soul and life of one of them. It ends when the Holy Spirit takes it away.”

Lidya Su was a little unbelievable.

"Can just one duel really completely resolve the grudges? Will there really be no further retaliation?"

Marcus shook his head: "No, you are a foreigner and do not understand the status of Santa Muerte in our hearts. I can understand this. Santa Muerte is a god that each of us has been taught by our parents since childhood. If you make fun of Santa Muerte, you should not break your oath after swearing an oath in the name of Santa Muerte, otherwise you will be spurned by all Valentinos."

Chapter 183 I have a plan (4K)

Night falls.

The lanterns are on.

The streets outside were deserted.

And in an abandoned warehouse.

But it was packed with people.

There are priests’ men.

There are also other henchmen from various Valentino Gang families.

certainly.

Not all people came.

But this small warehouse was also packed to the brim.

In the center of the warehouse is a makeshift boxing ring.
