Scimitar frowned even more as he looked at this month's financial statements. Thanks to the efforts of two consecutive leaders, the Valentino Gang has actually been able to break away from the underground order.
The profits generated by their businesses on the surface have surpassed gray income a few years ago. If Scimitar is willing, he can send an offer to every street fighter of the Valentino Gang and give them
Pay wages and pay insurance, just like those corporate dogs.
But he didn't want to. Scimitar knew the Valentino gang's foothold very well.
Scimitar is willing to spend a lot of money every year to send a few talented children who can never get rid of gangs due to family reasons to go to law school or business school for further studies, and when they come out, they will be given high wages and high benefits to enter industrial management.
But he will never spend the same money to build several elementary schools and middle schools on the territory of the Valentino gang, because he knows that his base is based on poverty.
As long as those Hispanics are still living in poverty and despair, that is his natural training camp. Young and strong men will be tattooed with crosses and statues of Madonnas, and with insignificant money and the glory of gangs, they will fight for him.
This is cruel, but also very realistic. Gangs like the Valentino Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang, which are mainly immigrants, rely on this to survive.
When the Militia Gang was first established, it was very powerful, but in the end it was just a second-rate gang. The only reason was that their roots were locals from Night City.
As for the locals, life is not that difficult. Compared with immigrants, they still have a way out.
As for the Brutal Bear Gang, that's another story. Scimitar doesn't like that gang because they have a higher rank and are an emerging gang.
On the one hand, they actively display their primitive and barbaric muscle power, chain gyms, death fighting competitions, and recruit people through cultural export. On the other hand, they also have several key technologies in their hands that can continuously create wealth.
Scimitar envied them very much and was wary of them at the same time, so when another group of the same type of gang appeared in Night City, he immediately noticed that group - the Whirlpool Gang.
The Uzumaki Gang is a product of the times. With the continuous development of prosthetic organs and prosthetic limb technology, the concept of weak flesh and blood has also become popular. Many young people make decisions when transforming their bodies. Even a machete would shudder.
It is just like the tattoo culture of the past. In order to be cooler and stronger, a healthy normal person is willing to cut off his own flesh and blood and replace it with machinery. Those who have been severely modified may even become mentally ill due to the implantation of too many mechanical parts.
question.
Scimitar is already over sixty years old. Regardless of whether society will pity his age, if he wants not to be eliminated, he must keep studying.
He even secretly replaced himself with an artificial kidney and personally experienced the improvement brought by the prosthetic organ... The effect was remarkable and addictive.
This was also the reason why he was disappointed with Guswater. As his chosen next-generation gang leader, the young Guswater was too old-school.
Every time Scimitar sees him, he seems to see himself thirty years ago, but times have changed, and their tricks can no longer be played.
Thirty years ago, he would never have encountered a problem like Tangji. How could one person silence the entire gang, and even the entire underground force in Night City, by his own powerlessness?
This is not a joke, this is a fairy tale.
But now the facts are before him, Tang Ji is like a storm, raging through the Night City, destroying everything that cannot adapt to the new rules.
In order to cope with this change, Scimitar forcibly sent Gusvota to a higher education institution, hoping that he could open up his horizons. In modern society, a fully armed and well-trained psychopath can do things that the army could not do before.
.
They are more flexible, have almost no weaknesses, and can bypass your barriers, hit your soft belly, or whatever else interests them.
As a result, less than a month after Gusvota was sent to school, the world changed again.
A superhuman murderer treats Night City like a brothel and kills anyone he wants. In front of him, the underground forces are no better than law enforcers.
The Maelstrom Gang that Scimitar had been paying attention to disappeared not long after it was formed. The theory of flesh and blood being weak is like a joke in front of superhuman beings.
The boss who had been in power for most of his life felt tired again. He could not take that bastard Gusvota out of the law school and send him to a bioengineering school.
Even if he has the ability, that granite head can't learn it!
Scimitar's worries about the future were not groundless, but a threat that was very close at hand. On the night when Thousand Faces Man was confirmed to have died in a bar by law enforcement, an internal strife broke out within the Brutal Bear Gang over the issue of profit distribution.
An awakened little leader tore apart fourteen senior members of the Bear Gang at a meeting, and became the most influential person within the gang.
The brutal muscle theory that the Brutal Bear Gang has always promoted gave the perpetrator a natural legitimacy. He killed the "weak" with bare hands and justly, and then occupied their wealth and status.
Although Scimitar wanted to gloat about his misfortune, he also thought that there might be an awakened superhuman kid outside the door who could rush in at any time to kill him and replace him, so he felt that it was time to consider replacing him with an artificial heart.
Just when Scimitar was worried about the future, something even more distressing came. A call from Tang Ji...
"I'm very disappointed with you, very disappointed." The tone on the phone was cold and calm, but Scimitar must pay attention, because Tang Ji proved with his strength that street gangs can't offend him, and neither can those superhumans offend him.
Although it was not mentioned in the news, everyone knew that during Tang Ji's hunting operation against Losas, half of the Losas members who lurked in committed suicide.
Those people made no secret of their fear of Tangji, which was a huge blow to the emerging superhuman street forces. Those bastard boys now no longer dare to openly fly the flag of Losas.
Tang Ji did something he had not done before. It was ironic. When Tang Ji was within the order, those people were not afraid of him. But when Tang Ji threw away the existing order and started to establish a new order, everyone was afraid.
The logo of the Gene-Breaking Sword of the Losas organization is now taboo in Night City. When talking about the organization Losas among the superhuman community, they have to lower their voices and lower their tails.
"You are local snakes in Night City, but you did not provide any useful information in my actions." Tang Ji's voice was extremely oppressive: "I need an explanation."
Scimitar didn't want to explain, and couldn't explain. They really didn't make any effort to help Tang Ji. The Tiger Claw Gang carried out Tang Ji's will very seriously, but their territory was too small.
Most of the loopholes appeared on the territory of the Valentino gang, because Scimitar originally expected Losas' people to take down Tanguy...
