Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 103 Road Confrontation

Claude walked out the door of Julian's grocery store and chose the alley that leads to the lake. The grocery store is right at the intersection of the four alleys, and Claude, the stone alley that leads to Old Street, is no longer interested in taking another walk. One alley above leads to the Old Street along another avenue, north and south of home, in different directions, and Claude doesn't want to make a hard turn.

The alley on the top left leads to the town centre square, which should have the most pedestrians. Claude was dressed up in the Old Street and nobody would notice him, but walking down the alley made him look very eye-catching, and whoever walked by would have measured him. Claude didn't want so much attention, so he wouldn't go down that alley.

Finally, this alley is the trail to the lake, which Claude walked several times. Though a few hundred meters further around, the road is less remote at night and not many residents. Beyond that neighborhood in front, there was a small woodland. Through the small woodland, it was the lakeside. Claude could take off his robe and pull off his mask in the small woodland, and then pretend to walk home along the lakeside trail...

Now what Claude needs to think about is how to trade tomorrow night...

It's not advisable to go home with a bag of Sullivan gold and make a deal with this fat old man, Julian, if Claude doesn't want people to find out who his magician is.

People are distracted from their bellies, and Julian, the fat old man, wants money to die, and his personality is greedy. Claude is not relieved that he knows who he really is, otherwise it's hard to say if anything will change. Maybe this fat old man will sell his identity for a good price, and then he will be visited by magicians in the wild unexpectedly one after another. Of course, this visit is quoted...

To make a deal tomorrow, Claude can be dressed like this today so people don't know who he is. But the question is, obviously, the deal is going to be a big bag, and it's not light, so how do you get that big bag back?

Any means of transportation will be missed, whether it is for personal use or rented, and will be discovered with great effort. White Deer Town is too small for Claude to be easily recognized as the second son of Mr. Morsan, the chief executive. Whether he goes to rent a carriage or a ride, he can't go with his face on. Don't talk about a deal like that. The owner of the car rental shop will report to the patrol police at the first time...

Not during the day, Claude couldn't go to Julian's grocery store dressed as a masked man during the day. At night, you can't cover your face, but you can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents on your way back. After all, carrying such a large bag of things is not as convenient as empty-handed.

Although Claude was pleased with all the magic materials set up at Julian's underground acquisitions with the Alchemy Character Array, and even though it was much more expensive, Claude now finds it a big problem to bring those magic materials back. In addition, the question is whether Claude should eat at home or come straight from the woodland as he did today.

The more Claude thinks about it, the more headaches he has, if he comes directly from the woods and has to consider hiding the question, wouldn't the Theories be surprised to go out so late... if he doesn't have the proxy tools, how far away is the woods and how long is he going to walk on two feet... tomorrow he will go home for dinner father will definitely ask why he has to go home for two days and then warn himself to work hard or something...

Sometimes people can't think for a moment when their brains are at the tip of the horn, and that's what Claude is doing. He found himself trying to avoid the unwitting completion of the deal by all men, bringing a big bag of magic material back to the woodland, which was simply impossible, the tools of step, the pedestrians on the road, the timing of the deal and his own safety were all problems, and he couldn't figure out how best to do it.

However, the alley leading to the lake is very cold and sparsely pedestrianized. Seeing yourself in this outfit is also rushed to the side of the road. Perhaps you can follow this path after completing the deal tomorrow night, but you can't carry that big bag of magic material all the way back to the woodland...

Just as Claude thought about the deal tomorrow, he met a group of people in front of a small two-story courtyard, and through the window of the building, the candlelight seemed to be the two groups confronting each other, shouting and making laughter come a long way.

Claude slowed down, slowly approaching, and now he can't turn around, nor can he bypass the crowd in front of him, as the two opposing groups occupy almost the entire trail. What made Claude wonder was that the noise in front of that two-story house was loud, but none of the residents and neighbors on either side of the alley came out to watch it.

Not that residents on either side of the alley are not home, Claude has seen several households still lit the oil lamp, and there are even a few two-story windows behind the shadow flashing, but nobody went out to see the noise...

Claude stopped and hid his figure in the dark. He is now more than ten meters away from the confrontation between the two groups, and as the shouts and noises came, he finally heard what was going on ahead.

One side of the crowd is the Black Snake Club in the Glades, and only four people are the Shark Club, including a woman. There will be about seven or eight people in the Black Snake, who are making a wild fool of that woman and calling her provocative shark club people. Shark clubs, however, have been confronting each other for more than half an hour because they have little concern and are similarly shouting at each other.

The Black Snake and Shark Clubs, the leaders of these two slum underground clubs, Claude, have long heard of it. The Black Snake will be a combination of ghetto scoundrels. The Old Street is said to be their land, and all the street women will pay protection to the Black Snake Society.

And the shark club Claude heard Erickson say that it was a group of sailor fishermen's dock porters who organized themselves to protect themselves, and then it turned into an underground violence organization that bullied the city, and that public docks in the slums were under their control, and that seven pubs in the docks were forcibly stocked, and that every fishing boat docked at the common docks in the civilian areas was required to pay a monthly stop fee.

Both underground clubs are poisonous tumors in the slums of Bai Lu Town, where bloody clashes, homicides and mass racketeering often occur, rendering the efforts of the Bai Lu Town Security Department to improve order in the slums futile on several occasions.

Sharks, by comparison, are more regular than black snakes, and generally do not target poor people in slums. That common dock alone is enough for them to eat incense and drink spicy food, with lots of money booked every month, almost all the captains of White Deer Town will have an affair with the sharks, and nobody will listen to the sailors and crew on their ships to disobey orders.

The acts of the Black Snake Club are more disgraceful. Not only do they scratch money from the women on the street, but they also organize underground casinos to lure people to gamble. Poor security in the slums has a lot to do with the Black Snake Club. Theft and robbery and other violent incidents there involve the Black Snake Club personnel.

The Black Snake Club is said to be backstage by the hill as one of the town hall managers, and the current mayor, Baron Robert, has repeatedly appeared to speak for the Black Snake Club. There are rumours in the town that the Black Snake will give a large sum of money to the mayor, Baron Robert, and others, to qualify for domination in the Glades, and this is one of the main factors why Baron Robert, as mayor of the town, cannot serve in the town council.

No wonder the residents on both sides of this alley didn't dare to come out to watch. Not only did no one dare to interfere in these two underground club affairs, but they were even afraid to be provoked. The doors of the neighboring residents' homes were shut to death. Some even turned out the lights, pretending that nobody was home...

After a half-day of patience, Claude finally figured out why both sides of the confrontation were only shouting at the real reason why they couldn't do it, and dared to relate to that team's merchant fleet to the Nubian mainland. Since this route has just been opened and is still confidential, meaning that the merchant fleet travels to the southern part of the continent to trade, most of the sailors chosen are members of the shark club or the main skilful force, and Shark club boss Iron Axe Hambas is the leader of the merchant fleet guarding the armed forces.

Before the departure of the merchant fleet, some powerful people in White Deer Town had assured Iron Axe Hambus that no one would dare provoke the shark and bloody clash until the merchant fleet returned, otherwise the provocateur would regret it. Everyone with bright eyes knows that this guarantee is aimed at the Black Snake Club, and the Black Snake will understand that it is best to converge this time of year and live with your tail clamped.

If the anger of the people were to tear their faces apart, the day would come when the black snake would perish. Although the mayor, Baron Robert, had taken their money, Bai Lu Town was not the nominal mayor, but the mayors of the town hall did not see the mayor in their eyes, they merely maintained superficial politeness.

The confrontation that took place that night was just a coincidence, and the Black Snake Club's old three-oblique Camadi took several of his men out to eat and prepare to go back to the Old Street, which is the alley. And Gerard, the brother of the shark boss Iron Axe Hambass, was ready to go home with his girlfriend, and the two horses met in front of Gerard's girlfriend's house.

Gerard's girlfriend, Claude, should know Catherine, the sister of her dream lover, Caffrey, who didn't cross the body of her former owner, Little Claude, as a waitress at the Mermaid's Tavern in the Pier District. Claude heard Ericsson say that Catherine stabbed a dagger in the tavern and touched the right hand of her three-eyed black snake, which sparked a fire between the black snake and the shark club. As a result, the black snake would lose a fortune and had to swallow it...

Now the Black Snake club's old three-oblique Camedy just ran into Gerard and his girlfriend Catherine, so it was the enemy who saw each other and took them up immediately. But he hasn't been overwhelmed by hatred. If he understands at this time to provoke a bloody conflict between the two communities, then let alone the shark club, even the black snake club's boss's dick won't let him go. Maybe he will offer him to calm things down and seek the shark club's understanding.

So the Black Snake Club doubled, but under the restraint of oblique Camedy, it was a rule, and there was no plan to do it first, it was just yelling at Catherine or making fun of her with words. Their idea is simple. If Gerard and the other two shark clubs hit first, they can beat each other to death in self-defense and have no reason to say anything...

Gerard also knew the intentions of the oblique Camerdee et al. and he didn't want to give the Black Snake Society a reason to do it. Even if the Black Snake Society people scolded him any worse, he could only hold on to himself and his two men. It's just that his girlfriend, Catherine, has a tantrum and has been provoked several times by obscene whispers from oblique eyes of Camedy, trying to rush up and beat him to death.

Gerard had to die to hold his girlfriend, and he knew very well that there were few people on his side and that he had to rush up to humiliate himself. On the other hand, don't look at the alley, but don't know how many neighbors are hiding behind windows and doors. If you do it on your side first, it's a big mistake for the big men who give the sharks their backs and won't come forward to get justice.

So the two sides were so stuck here, no one dared to do it first. Gerard and others are stuck outside the door by the Black Snake Club. Black Snake won't go home. Black Snake won't let go of each other like this, which means he admits to losing...

Claude looked up at the sky and estimated it was about 9: 30. Mahjong, do you want to fight or not? Go away, don't delay yourself to go home. If you are late, your parents will nag about where you are going...

Claude came out of the shadow under the eaves and walked forward.
