Chapter 233: Conquering the Mafia
Chapter 233: Conquering the Mafia
It seemed that he could sense everyone's little thoughts.
Uchiha Lieyang snorted coldly.
"Since you have no objection, let me tell you about our Uchiha rules!"
"One: You are not allowed to bully ordinary civilians at will in the future. If I, the Uchiha, find out, I will chop off the hand of the civilian you bullied with that hand."
"Second: All civilians who have paid protection fees will be protected by the Uchiha in the future. If you encounter other people causing trouble, you must find a way to deal with them! Since others have paid protection fees, you cannot let them pay this money in vain."
"Three: Maintain public order throughout our sphere of influence and make sure those ordinary people understand that the money they pay is worth it!"
"Four......."
As Uchiha Reiyang listed the rules one by one, the mafia members below were stunned.
Because these rules are too biased towards civilians! They join the gangs to be masters, not to be nannies.
If they really follow these rules, then what's the point of being in the gangs?
There was silence for a while.
"You all understand!"
Uchiha Lieyang asked calmly. In fact, what he said were the regulations enforced by the Konoha Guard Department.
Since Your Majesty wants to win over the hearts of the people on this island, it is naturally impossible to let this group of mafia do whatever they want.
If they were not short of manpower, or if it was too abrupt for a group of outsiders to suddenly rule the local gangs, they would not even consider these small fry.
"Sir! Isn't this too good for those untouchables?" asked the middle-aged man who knelt down first nervously.
"Untouchables! Do you have a noble status?" Uchiha Lieyang asked back in a cold voice.
"But sir, this will make those lowly... civilians take advantage of us. Without intimidation and deterrence, how can they honestly pay us the protection money?"
The middle-aged man's eyes rolled and he quickly thought of a way to persuade him.
"You thought this island was peaceful!"
The middle-aged man was stunned, not understanding what the adult in front of him meant by this.
But he still shook his head based on his own impression that this small island was a lawless area in the Grand Line.
It's extremely chaotic here. There are at least a dozen mafias, big and small, and pirates come here to take advantage of the situation from time to time.
It can be said that this place is filled with chaos and killing all the time.
"Then, if we do everything we just said, these civilians are blind and won't pay us protection money!
Even if they don't pay, as long as we do nothing, they won't be able to live in our land!
After all, without our protection, it would be a foolish dream to live on this chaotic island!"
The middle-aged man's mind was in a mess. Although he admitted that what the adult said made sense, he still didn't want to do this.
After all, as the saying goes, they join the gang to be the boss. If they were kind-hearted, they would not go down this path.
Seeing that the middle-aged man still wanted to refute, Uchiha Lieyang's eyes turned cold, and a strong murderous intent filled the air, causing the middle-aged man to get goose bumps all over his body.
"Alright! If you don't want to, I can give you a chance now. If you want to leave, leave now. If you don't leave now and break the gang rules in the future, don't blame me, an Uchiha, for being cruel and ruthless!"
Everyone's expressions straightened and they looked at each other, but no one dared to get up and leave.
The middle-aged man kneeling in front gritted his teeth when he saw this.
"Sir, I joined the gang because I didn't want to be bullied, so sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I...I want to leave!"
The middle-aged man suppressed his fear and looked at Uchiha Lieyang with trembling body, fearing that these strangers would kill him because of his resistance.
But in his heart, being a mafia member means being a boss. Although he has a big brother above him, at least he can still act tyrannically when facing those untouchables.
Although this group of people are very powerful nowadays, they have problems with their brains.
Instead of exploiting those untouchables, they protect them like servants for a mere little bit of protection fee.
This is completely contrary to his mafia philosophy.
Such a mafia has no future at first glance. In this world, if you don't bully others, others will bully you.
This is the result of his many years of experience.
Uchiha Lieyang looked at him coldly and nodded silently.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man felt relieved. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door tremblingly.
When he reached the door, he paused slightly and turned back to look at the Uchiha people who didn't react at all.
He gritted his teeth, opened the door, and rushed out of the hall. After he ran hundreds of meters away from the bar, his pounding heart slowly calmed down.
At this time, the mafia members in the bar saw that this group of mysterious people really let them go.
In an instant, a large group of people quickly stood up and rushed to the door.
Uchiha Lieyang and others ignored this and watched quietly as the mafia rushed out of the bar.
When the hall returned to calm, the bar, which originally had hundreds of people, now had less than fifty people left.
Uchiha Lieyang couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this.
"Are you sure you want to join me Uchiha!"
“Yes, sir, we were all forced to join the gang due to the pressure of life.
I really longed for the rules that adults talked about because my mother was often harassed.
If you can do what you said, I am willing to serve you!"
A young man with blue hair, a scar on his face and a thin body looked at Uchiha Lieyang seriously.
Uchiha Lieyang's originally sharp eyes softened slightly.
"Good! It seems that there are still some people with conscience among you. Good! Work hard in the gang from now on.
I just talked about the rules, but not the treatment. Now let me talk about the treatment of our Uchiha."
"First, from now on you will have a fixed salary every month, about 10,000 Baileys!"
When everyone heard this number, their eyes lit up, and the young man's eyes were filled with excitement.
"My Lord, is this true?"
It’s no wonder that everyone is so excited. They didn’t have such a generous fixed income before.
The fixed monthly salary of the lower-level gang members is only one thousand Baileys. If there is no other extra income, this amount of money is only enough for them to live on, and this is money earned through hard work.
As for the outside water, it is snatched from other civilians through intimidation and threats by the gangs, which leads to considerable inner conflicts among some gang members who still have conscience.
If you tell them not to do these things, they won't be able to feed their families. But if they do, they will feel extremely remorseful and guilty when they see those civilians who can't survive like themselves and are crying and shouting.
"Of course!" Uchiha Lieyang nodded seriously, "Not only that, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be covered by the gang.
If you are injured or killed in gang affairs, your family and the disabled brothers will be supported by the gang."
“This is my Uchiha welfare now, so you must remember all the rules I just mentioned.
The gang gives you such good benefits so that you can live well even if you don't harm the civilians!"
"After all, they have nothing. We are all miserable people, so why should we make things difficult for them?"
Uchiha Lieyang stepped forward and tidied up the boy's somewhat messy clothes.
"You didn't have a choice before, but now that we're here, we'll give you a chance to choose to be a good person!"
A mist gradually appeared in the boy's eyes. At this moment, he felt deeply touched for some reason.
"Yes! Sir, I will do my best!"
The young man answered in a resounding voice. At this moment he felt a big hand suddenly pulling him back from the abyss of darkness.
"A bunch of idiots, they think they are the saviors! They are so powerful, but they want to be good people. It's like being a whore and pretending to be a saint!"
A mafia who had just escaped from the bar yelled in curse.
"Yeah! I don't think this Uchiha will survive more than a month on the island!"
"Haha! Yeah, even though he's a gangster, he's still so saintly. It's disgusting!"
Just when they were cursing happily, suddenly a middle-aged strong man stiffened, his hands began to tremble, and slowly, he hugged his head involuntarily.
Then he exerted force suddenly, and there was a sound of bone breaking. "Crack!" With a trace of fear of death in his eyes, he fell to the ground unwillingly.
Then this strange situation happened one after another.
The passers-by on the road were confused for a moment, and then everything returned to normal, and no one paid any attention to their bodies.
After all, people die on this island every day, and the number is not small.
Uchiha Wada retracted his Mangekyō and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Since you don't want to embrace the light, then embrace the deepest darkness!"
