Struggle in Russia

"So you agreed to the conditions of the old fox?"

Faced with Vishniak's question, Li Xiao smiled wryly and spread his hands, "What else can I do other than agree? And the old man's request is not too much, he is only interested in part of the smuggling business, and he didn't open his mouth like a lion!"

Vishniak asked again: "But even so, do you think Torel can agree to such a condition?"

Li Xiao looked at Vishniak very strangely, and asked back: "Who told you that we are going to cooperate with Torrel?"

Vishniak was stunned and asked dumbfounded, "Isn't it?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "How could it be possible to cooperate with that brainless butcher Torel! Don't you see what his ambition is? How could he cooperate with us to accept control?"

That's the point. Torel's idea from the beginning to the end is that one person dominates. He has no intention of sharing the power of the leader with anyone. From the beginning, he has been suppressing Gabriel and secretly cultivating little Silvius. It can be seen that his ultimate goal is to eradicate all non-self forces in the Hammer Gang to achieve the goal of dominance by one person.

Just ask, how could such a greedy person be honest and cooperate with Li Xiao. He had been eager and active before, but he hoped to take advantage of the Frenchman's side. As soon as his goal is achieved, he immediately turns his back on him.

This kind of thing is not familiar with it and can't be controlled. Li Xiao is not arrogant enough to think that he really has the aura of domineering to deter such a real ruffian.

Li Xiao didn't want to cooperate with Torel at all, he was just using Torel to get rid of Gabriel, the british bastard. While killing Gabriel, he will also get rid of Torel. His real target of cooperation is Evans, who is the least powerful and most inconspicuous!

"Evans is an ideal collaborator. The other two guys, one has taken refuge in the British guy, and the other is greedy, and they are not willing to be used. But this Evans is different. Although he is the deputy leader, he is in the Hammer The sense of existence in the gang is not strong, and the influence is also very weak.”

"Without strong external support, even if Torel and Gabriel burp, he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of leader. So he urgently needs our support, and this is the basis for cooperation."

"And judging from his performance as the deputy gang leader in the past few years, this guy is not a talented person. He doesn't have too much ambition, and he is a bit content with the status quo. Otherwise, another person with a little idea will sit in his place. , has long started to develop his own power presumptuously, and he will never be like this weak chicken until now!"

"As long as we can ensure that his personal interests and the overall interests of the Hammer Gang can be justified, he will definitely cooperate obediently!"

Li Xiao's judgment was correct. From the first moment he entered Evans' hideout and saw the deputy gang leader, he knew there was something going on.

The reason is simple. At this time, Evans is very anxious and haggard. He has lost a lot of weight. He looks like a homeless man with an unshaven beard. The dark circles under his eyes are even more frightening. He looks like a patient with severe depression.

"Mr. Henry, you are finally back!"

When I saw Li Xiao,

Evans actually let out a cheer, jumping like a brat who got a Transformer, which shows how nervous he was before.

Seeing that he could pluck wool, Li Xiao was naturally not polite. He showed a stern and strange expression, and asked in a complicated way: "Mr. Evans, I have only been away for a few days, why is the world in chaos? I heard that Mr. Torrel and Mr. Gabriel are fighting among themselves? And the Iron Eagle Society is also looking for trouble for you?"

Without waiting for Evans to answer, he said to himself: "What the foundation needs is a partner with good execution ability. Your current execution ability is worrying. I doubt whether you have the ability to implement the foundation. The task will be given!"

Evan was in a hurry, for him Li Xiao was a lifeline, how could he let him go?

"Mr. Henry, I know the situation is dire, but I can assure you that this is only temporary. As long as you provide your valuable support, we will soon be able to calm down the troubles caused by Gabriel's betrayal! I assure you, These are minor issues!"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, he was just harassing, just to disturb Evans' mind so that he could control the rhythm of his speech, and now it seems that the effect is good.

So he was unmoved and asked seriously: "Guarantee? Mr. Evans, what guarantee do you have? You even hid yourself secretly. Do you use this performance to guarantee it?"

"With all due respect, this is really not convincing!"

Evan's face flushed immediately. Indeed, his behavior was a bit cowardly, like a shrinking turtle. If he were the other party, he would be suspicious.

"Mr. Henry, please listen to me, I... this is also forced by the situation. But I can guarantee that as long as you give support, everything will be better! Really!"

Li Xiao still looked skeptical, but he was already happy in his heart.

After a long time, he pretended to sigh and said, "Mr. Evans, you make me very embarrassed, not just ordinary. In view of the current situation, rationality tells me that it is best to end contact with you and wait until everything is clear..."

"But your sincerity moved me a little bit. I think I can give you a chance, but I don't think it's safe. I need more protection. At least it can guarantee that the foundation's investment will not be in vain!"

Evans was stunned, not knowing what Li Xiao meant, and Li Xiao was bad enough, he deliberately kept silent, and just looked at him so directly, until Evans had to take the initiative to break the silence.

"Mr. Henry, what guarantee do you need?"

Seeing that the other party has taken the bait, Li Xiao didn't adjust his taste anymore, and said with a smile: "I need to participate more deeply in the operation of your gang, and join some of your gang's operations...Of course, this does not mean that I want to replace or Interfering with the normal operation of your gang... These measures are temporary, and once your gang proves to be reliable, my intervention will naturally end."

Evans hesitated. He was not stupid, so he naturally knew what it meant, so he naturally refused to agree. Moreover, he was only a deputy gang leader, so he was not qualified to agree to such a big event. I'm afraid it will be up to Torel to make a decision on this matter.

"Mr. Torel?"

Li Xiao showed a meaningful expression, and he said with some contempt: "To be honest, I really don't have much confidence in Mr. Torel. This accident is largely due to his recklessness, and the reckless person may is not worthy of trust, at least not worthy of ten thousand francs in trust..."
