Wine and Gun

"That sounds really disturbing." Albarino showed a sharp smile.

Garland's face was expressionless, and she paused, then said, "We'll watch you—and you'll take the rest."

Herstal was silent for a long time, his blue eyes flickering with a dim light, then he nodded cautiously and said, "We'll think about it."

Garland grinned, looking a little too happy and lazy, maybe Albarino was right, this strange security agent really didn't care about the dead and murder stuff. Her moral sense may be very worrying, perhaps even more so than Olga Molozze.

But now is not the time to discuss this issue. They just got out of the car, put the suitcase out of the trunk, and stood side by side in the strange land, bathed in the blood-rich sunlight.

Maud Garland didn't drive away immediately. She put one elbow slack on the car's window frame and looked at them slightly, her grey eyes lit by a golden red sun. It looks even more bizarre.

Then she gave a slow smile, winked at both of them, and said briskly in German, "Welcome to Hoxton."

Note:

[1] The kingdom of Hoxton is my fictional country, bordering Germany to the south, Denmark to the north, Poland to the east, and the North Sea to the west, with an area of ​​38,931 square kilometers (that is, Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein+ Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), the capital Flora (the city of Schwerin in real life), and a constitutional monarchy.

[2] In July 2005, same-sex marriage was legalized in Spain, allowing same-sex couples to marry in Spain as long as one of the partners is Hispanic, or both have legal residency in Spain.

Also, same-sex marriage was legal in the Hoxton Kingdom (which the Roman Catholic authorities strongly opposed, but to no avail).

[3] Maud Garland's fingers were snapped off one by one by the villain (Elija Hoffman) in Refuge next door.

Chapter 132 Cloris Garden

Bell of the Mace found a new store opening on the street this week.

It was a flower shop called "Clores Flower Garden", and the location of the shop happened to be on the border between the Mace Gang and the Schweiger family. This is a very prosperous neighborhood. There are many office buildings and residential buildings around. Everyone walking on the road is a potential customer who can buy flowers in a leisurely manner. A flower shop here is definitely a good idea.

Except for one thing: every shopkeeper who sets up shop here has to give the gang a protection fee on top of the jiāo tax, at least the ones on the Mace Gang's lands.

The people of the Schweiger family don't seem to be interested in receiving protection fees, and they don't care about these insignificant incomes to them. The famous lady only allowed her men to extract money from people who were doing illicit business on her turf, such as drug dealers, underground casino owners and roaming smugglers, who often paid a tenth of their own income. Make sure you don't get hacked by the Schweiger family.

It's not because of how benevolent that "Miss Morgenstern" is to ordinary law-abiding people, but probably because she's not interested in law-abiding citizens. Flora's Underworld has a widespread saying that this lady is cruel to her haters only because she admires their dying struggles with a strange taste, as if a child would gossip just because of boredom. Like the wings of a butterfly.

——These basics should be written into the staff handbook of every gangster who messes with the Schweiger family to ensure they can save their lives from the moody Miss Gabriel Morgenstern.

But unfortunately: one, the gangsters don't have an employee handbook; two, Bell of the Mace doesn't even have common sense - he only came to Flora last month from the northern city of Winslow, where he was in Winslow. He was already a member of the Mace Gang, and even a small leader, but the gangster ecology in Winslow City is completely different from Flora.

Therefore, Bell knew nothing about Flora-esque gang life, let alone the Schweiger family.

Of course, he doesn't know the simplest of all "common sense": all the streets that can be divided in Flora have been divided up by various gangs, so many gangs are closely connected. In order to prevent the members of the two gangs from confronting each other every day, so that their brains are beaten out, there are usually one or two "unowned" streets in the borders of the two gangs' sites, which are generally called "buffer zones".

Both gangs monitor the buffer zone to prevent third-party forces from taking root; otherwise, the gangs generally do not conduct any activity in the buffer zone, lest their neighbors see this as a provocation.

And the newly opened flower shop happened to be located in the "buffer zone" between the Schweiger family and the Mace Gang - any sensible Mace Gang member would not want to run there to touch the Schweiger family's mold.

But at this moment, Bell, who is in high spirits (and wants to make a career in the new city), has stepped into the flower shop.
