MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates-Chapter 38 capenbeki

Chapter 38 Capone Becky

The venue of the trade fair was a bit high-end, actually in the royal palace in the center of Gures, but considering that the organizer is actually the actual controller of the country, this matter seemed quite normal.

The process of entering the palace was also very simple. Cody handed over the invitation letter, and then took Xie Wen and the others through easily. There were no checks or searches or requirements to surrender weapons...perhaps to reassure the invited businessmen. ? Or have absolute confidence in one's own strength.

After crossing the gate and walking into the palace, Xie Wen looked around while holding Kelimiao to prevent her from running around.

Although he is just a puppet king, the entire palace is still quite magnificent. What is more inconsistent is that the guards on guard are all gangsters in suits and sunglasses. Most of them still have cigarettes or cigars in their mouths, which makes the palace very splendid. There was a somewhat unseemly atmosphere in the palace.

Led by the man in a black suit, everyone arrived at the banquet hall of the palace. The overall layout was like a buffet. The invited businessmen gathered together in twos and threes, chatting in low voices.

Cody also found someone he knew among them, and led Xie Wen and the others up to chat.

 In fact, Xie Wen had been wondering what this so-called trade fair was about.

If they just invited businessmen from all over the country to come here to do business and collect protection fees or something like that, then their goal had actually been achieved. When he was wandering around the city these days, he saw a lot of specialty products that were not available in nearby areas. , and also saw the scene of gangsters coming to collect protection fees.

It wasn’t until he listened nearby that Xie Wen finally figured out what was going on.

The three major families have two purposes for inviting these businessmen. One is to hope that they will buy properties on the island instead of just staying once or a few times. In other words, they want Gurez to become a trading center rather than a trading center. The temporary market place will also charge them protection fees and turn it into a long-term business.

 Another purpose is...now that properties have been purchased on the island, how to allocate the ownership of these businessmen and the division of their respective territories is a matter of competition between the three major families.

 In fact, during the period before the start of the trade fair, the three major families had already been in contact with many businessmen, and used various methods such as coercion and inducement in order to get these businessmen to agree to be placed under their names.

Hmm, it fits the gangster style very well.

For most of the invited businessmen, it is not a bad thing to join the three major families in name. These three families are not considered weak among the gangs in the entire West China Sea. Since they all have to pay for the gangs, Protection money, who should it not be paid to?

In fact, this model is a bit like those big pirates in the new world...The most typical one is Charlotte Lingling, who is not yet called the "Four Emperors", whether it is the "life tax" of the residents of all countries, or its subsidiary The "dessert tax" of the powerful forces is not much different from what the three major Gurez families want to do now.

As for why no one came to Uncle Cody in advance... maybe it's because his business is not big enough and his priority is not high?

  In any case, Xie Wen doesn’t think this matter has anything to do with him.

After a while, an imposing-looking middle-aged man appeared on the central stage of the banquet hall. He was also wearing a suit, but the color was not black after all. Instead, he was wearing a slightly shabby plaid suit, and his hair was His blond hair was combed into a slicked back that suited his gangster identity, and he was holding a black cane in his hand. A huge sapphire was embedded in the top of the cane, which complemented the diamond ring on his finger.

“This is Boisnot John, who has become the godfather of the Boisnot family in recent years.” Bacchus introduced Xie Wen in a low voice.

"Everyone, everyone, welcome to our trade fair in Gures..." Boisano John tapped the microphone gently, and after attracting the attention of the audience, he began his speech slowly.

 Excluding the meaningless pleasantries and implicit threats and inducements, what he said was actually the main purpose of this trade fair.

“…Everyone can think about it carefully. After the banquet is over, I hope everyone can make a wise decision.”

Boisano John looked around the audience with a smile, then put down the microphone and walked off the stage. Surrounded by his men, he walked towards a businessman, and beside the businessman, there was already a man who was also surrounded. The gang boss.

“That’s the counselor of the Simente family and the second son of the patriarch.” Uncle Bacchus introduced him again.

While he was speaking, the second son who had the upper hand chose to retreat with an aggrieved look on his face after confronting John for a moment.

 Obviously, the fair itself is also a battlefield used by the three major families to rob people.

Xie Wen withdrew his gaze and continued to look around. People from the other two families had seen it, so where was Capone Beki, the final winner?

Soon, Xie Wen found Capone Becky in the crowd. To be precise, he found his strange gun Witt and killer Gotti. In Xihai, where most people have relatively normal body shapes, the figures of these two people, especially Gotti, are too conspicuous. If Werther is just a tall person among normal people, then Gotti will be thrown into the second half of the Grand Line. Duan is also above the average height.

 Of course, this is without counting the race of giants.

As for Capone Becky...he is too short and can't be seen because he is blocked by others.

Xie Wen looked carefully at the two people not far away. Their features were not much different from Xie Wen's memory, except that Gotti's right hand did not have the huge three-barreled machine gun installed.

But then again, did these two people already follow Capone Becky so early?

Since Xie Wen did not cover up, Weird quickly noticed that he was looking at him. After turning around and realizing that the person looking at him was actually Xie Wen, Werther was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he immediately turned around and bent down. He muttered a few words to Capone Becky who was blocked.

 Following that, Werther and Gotti lined up the crowd, causing the figure of Capone Becky to appear in front of Xie Wen...

　　Well, by visual inspection, his height should be less than 1.7 meters. This is considered short in Xihai. In the New World, he is no different from a dwarf.

However, considering that even a normal person's figure is at the level of a halfling in the New World, Xie Wen didn't seem to have any position to laugh at Becky.

 “Hello, Mr. Capone.” Uncle Cody stepped forward very loyally and greeted Becky.

Becky stopped, gave Mr. Cody a meaningful look, put on a fake smile on her face, and said: "I'm sorry, the person I'm looking for is not Mr. Cody, can you please give me permission? "

Cody’s expression changed a few times, but he finally chose to step aside, intending to take a look at the situation first.

"Are you Xie Wen?" Becky, who was chewing a cigar, walked up to Xie Wen, raised her head and blew out a puff of smoke at him, asking with a smile on her face.

“Huh—” Xie Wen pursed his lips slightly, blew away the smoke in front of him, and then replied with a smile: “Yes, it’s me. I wonder what Boss Capone has to say?”

Seeing Xie Wen's slightly provocative behavior, the smile on Becky's face actually deepened. He glanced at Kelimiao who was lying on Xie Wen's shoulder and making faces at him, and continued to ask: "These two I’m a fur tribe, really not for sale?”

"They are my partners, not pets." Xie Wen rubbed the heads of Keli and Sanji's cats to calm them down, and then pointed at the two big men behind Becky, " If someone wanted to buy them both from you, would you sell them?"

Although in the comics Capone Becky also shot one of his men for a trivial matter, that person was just cannon fodder for his men. Werther and Gotti are obviously different, and even Gotti later He also became a brother-in-law with Becky and married Qifeng's sister Lola.

"I see..." Capone Becky restrained his smile, and then said pointedly: "Then you have to keep an eye on your partners, because after the trade fair is over, Gures will not be as peaceful as it is now. "

 After saying that, he walked away with two tall men.

It took two days, and the manuscript has been basically revised. There may be some omissions in the middle. I will proofread it slowly later...I am exhausted_(`‖∠)_

The weather has gotten colder recently, and Zhongyuan has begun to crawl into bed again, and every time it waits for someone to get in and warm the bed before it gets in.

　　　Thanks to Artmos for the reward.
