The hitman who kicked the flying door of Lucian's house saw that there was no response inside. He rushed in for a check, then retreated and said to the leader with his usual inconspicuous appearance, "Sir Jackson, there's no one inside, all his belongings are still neat."
Jackson said with a friendly smile, "It takes a lot of time to trick Cohen into leaking information about the boy, I think it's too late, hehehe, even though Mark and Andre are stupid and trashy, but at least it's still useful."
When the surrounding thugs heard him mention about Mark and Andre, they immediately recalled the tragic circumstances of Mark covering up********** while screaming in pain. Unknowingly**********they were goosebumps as well, while Andre who stood in front secretly felt grateful. If the boy ran away with the goods and money in the house, then he would not end well, but of course it remains much better than Mark who was told by doctors to lie in bed for a week.
"Andre, come in and check if anything is suspicious." Jackson's orders.
Andre who was about to contribute directly entered without the slightest hesitation.
After a few minutes, Andre came out while carrying a shred of random items with a puzzled expression, "Sister Jackson, there's a lot of trash in the boy's luggage crate."
Lucian sighed in his heart. Those are items that have not been handled. Once you see that, you will think about trash. If it is related to information about Lucian selling goods in the market area lately, with the IQ of normal people alone should be able to think about how Lucian makes money.
Because the work is only alone and afraid of being discovered, so every time you go home only brings a little, so the income is also a little. But it would be different if Aaron's gang controlled that riverfront dump. With the amount of their labor, as well as familiarity and mastery of market territory, it might be a huge source of income. This way they will definitely not give up, so Lucian himself must find other ways to make money.
Jackson glanced at the trash Andre was holding and shook his head, "It seems I know where he got his friend from. The church handles it every three days. It could not have occurred to him about the landfill on the bank of the Belem River that would be hidden treasure, trash from the palace, the noble district, the manor outside the city, the musician association, the blacksmith guild, the, mercenary guilds, and other places will gather on the banks of the Belem river, hehehe, the trash in the eyes of the nobles is not necessarily real trash.”
Actually after learning from Andre and Mark that Lucian once sent trash from the Musicians Association out of town, Jackson already had this conjecture, but now only got certainty.
After saying this, Jackson smiled kindly, "Thank you to Lucian, for making us a great source of income. So let's thank you with our hospitality, go in and destroy all the belongings of his house, the copper ferries and silver narrows you found in his house will be yours. In the future, anyone who finds it and thanks him can come to me to receive a gift."
In Jackson's eyes, Lucian was still a long way from the point where Jackson needed to be alarmed and sent people to stand guard. As an organized, disciplined, and genuine gang, he needs to do a lot of things every day, so where might it be to waste time and energy on an insignificant person like Lucian?
The gang members cheered. If it wasn't because Lucian's house was too small and the number of people it could accommodate was limited, they would all probably have already barged in at once.
The sound of slammed things was heard.
Lucian who was hiding not far away, could judge from the sound, 'The crock pot broke, the table was destroyed, they were looking for the money I hid.' Lucian clenched his fists tightly and said inwardly with gritted teeth.
But Lucian also understood that there were more than a dozen thugs there. If he tried to stop them, he would only be beaten or even killed. Therefore, no matter how angry or emotional he was, he had to forcefully endure it.
Without status, boxing, and strength, there was no way to deal with such criminals or thugs. As for the law, from arrogant behavior they can be guessed if he acts will still be in vain.
'If the witch does not go to the grave to steal the corpse, she is not burned alive.'
'Since magic still exists, dark beings, heretics, and others still exist, there may be places where magic is not so discriminated against and ostracized. I just need to be careful while studying magic, and when it already has enough power to protect myself, I will go look for a residence that does not prohibit magic.'
'The danger is great, but the advantage is also great. How can you enjoy a rich life in peace if you do not take the slightest risk? Even doing business has to bear the risks such as the exploitation of nobles, thugs or gangs, and intense competition, a little bit of caution can end up bankrupt or even die."
Many of the thoughts that Lucian usually harbored ended up penetrating the cage and echoed in his mind like the temptations of the devil. So it makes it not occur to him that if there is a safe place and does not prohibit magic, then why did the witch come to the city of Alto.
Countless thoughts, countless desires, gathered in Lucian's heart, but before making up his mind, he suddenly heard Aunt Elisha's voice, "What are you guys doing you fucking crooks?!"
Clothes that must be washed by the textile union can only be taken at ten o'clock. So after telling Ivan to go out of town to pick mushrooms, Elisha heard a noise from Lucian's house.
Holding and swinging a long wooden spoon, he walks towards Aaron's gang, trying to stop them from destroying Lucian's hut.
"Bring him to the side." Jackson pointed at Elisa.
The two thugs who had not had time to break into Lucian's house in search of profit rushed forward, raising their sleeves while approaching and trying to get rid of Elisha.
However, they underestimated the strength of Aunt Elisha. A hand as strong as a bear claw attack swung a wooden spoon, and a few heavy blows made the two thugs retreat while screaming in pain.
Although Elisha was not weak, had a wide and heavy body, looking very scary, but some of the thugs on the opposite side were thugs who made a living by boxing. After dodging several wooden spoon attacks, they immediately struck down the wooden spoon in Elisha's hand.
A sudden heavy blow struck Elisha's shoulder. Although the fat reduced the impact received from the heavy blow, it still made him groan in pain. Yet he still did not budge, and continued forward while shouting, "Quick go, the attendant will be here soon."
Lucian who was behind the wall not far away, could not help but scold himself after seeing Aunt Elisha being beaten up, 'I am not a man!'
Although he had only known for a few days, his feelings were also not very strong towards Aunt Elisha and Uncle Joel. But right now Aunt Elisha was hit for preventing others from destroying her hut, whereas she herself was just hiding and did not dare to go out. This was truly something he could not accept at all.
Therefore, Lucian clenched his fists, glanced at the front of the hut, turned his head and got angry, "Fuck up!"
Then rushed out, targeting Jackson who was alone.
"Tap tap tap." Lucian, who was not far from the hut, hurriedly arrived around Jackson in just a few steps, and lunged forward toward Jackson.
At this moment, Jackson reacted and turned his head here in surprise. But he had no time to do anything, Lucian bumped and dropped him to the ground, they both fought each other on the ground.
Lucian uses his weight and squeezes Jackson's hand firmly with his left, preventing Jackson from removing a dagger that may be on his body, while Lucian's right hand tries desperately to reach Jackson's throat. If it managed to reach Jackson's neck, then the situation would be under control for a while.
But Jackson who could become the leader of Aaron's gang not only relied on sharpness and cruelty, but also a thug from birth, so he was very experienced. While trying to roll over so as not to give Lucian a chance to strangle his throat, Lucian's squeezed hand began to move slowly with his elbow, and elbowed Lucian's ribs repeatedly.
Because there was not enough room to move freely, so Jackson's elbow was not very powerful, but the ribs themselves were indeed a relatively sensitive and fragile area. So after being cheered on by Jackson repeatedly, Lucian screamed in pain. But Lucian, who had been attacked by Gary, knew that he should not panic at this time, had to endure the pain, and his right hand finally grabbed Jackson's throat.
Just as Lucian was about to squeeze Jackson's throat, his right rib was suddenly kicked, and his entire body fell to the ground.
Relying on his rich fighting experience, Jackson manages to hold on until the goons around arrive and kick Lucian aside.
The thugs inside the house, the thugs holding Elisha, all came.
Just as Lucian was about to stand up, kicks and fists struck him like a torrential rain, making him unable to hold on at all. It could only cover its head, roll like a shrimp, and protect important body parts, while the rest allowed the thugs to land blows at will.
Being hit to the point of rolling on the ground, a heart-wrenching pain hit his mind, but Lucian still maintained his composure and posture. If not, it will be critical if the vital part is affected by an attack like Mark.
At this moment, Lucian's soul seemed almost drifting and nauseous. Everything around him was blurred. The sound became less clear, felt unreal like a movie, Aunt Elisha's cry sounded from a distance like it came from another world, "Let go of her!"
The decision had not been rounded up earlier, in this condition, Lucian finally made up his mind, 'I must master a great power that is inhuman and extraordinary, want it magic though.'
'If I have to minjam though, I have to raise money to learn letters in a short time.'
Looking at Lucian who was hit to and fro, Jackson moved his arm that was a little sore from having just been squeezed firmly, approached and kicked Lucian a few times, then said to his goons, "Enough, enough, the lesson is enough. This kid's got an official knight friend, Mr. Wayne, we don't have to kill him."
If they were to commit murder for such a trivial matter, moreover the victim was a good friend of an official knight, Aaron's gang would have already killed until blood filled Alto's city. fire in fact, the reason the Aaron gang could always control the city gate area and some market areas was because they were not outrageous. Otherwise, Alto's real city controller, the nobles, bishops, and priests with frightening power would have already exterminated their gang. From the beginning, despite the rumored rumors that someone in Aaron's gang has an inseparable relationship with a certain important figure in the town of Alto.
The thugs paused and stared at Lucian ferociously at the side, Jackson with a smile looking at Lucian whose nose and the corner of his mouth were bleeding and who looked almost fainted, "Actually, I was amazed by your intelligence, I was amazed by that, but you you're not mature enough. On matters outside the city, I hope you're not greedy. Otherwise, not only would you be beaten, I'm sure Mark would heartily share his story with you who were struck by a similar disaster."
The problem of controlling a riverfront dump is something that can not be hidden, so Jackson never thought to kill someone.
After speaking, Jackson looked at Lucian who was staring at him while answering in a hoarse and simple voice and a face filled with blood, "OK."
This made Jackson feel a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it, telling the thugs to take away the things that Lucian hadn't had time to deal with, as well as forty-five fer of copper that was recovered from Lucian's body, and went with great pride themselves.
