Chapter 188: The Heart of the Gang
Chapter 188: The Heart of the Gang
Zhang Hong walked out of the courtyard, looking at the people on the street, JIang Cheng felt a sense of nostalgia.
The vendors' calls attracted his attention, and he followed suit.
Jiang Cheng walked among them, feeling as if he had returned to the days of roasting sweet potatoes.
"Little Brother, I roasted the sweet potatoes, but this street is the best. If you don’t believe me, you can try one."
"Okay."
The woman smiled faintly.
"Good."
She moved three steps closer and put a roasted sweet potato into a bag.
"Brother, this sweet potato just came out of the oven. Be careful, don’t burn yourself."
Jiang Cheng took the sweet potato, peeled off the skin, and took a bite.
The taste is still good.
But compared to what I roasted, it’s a bit worse.
"Hmm, Brother, is it sweet?" The woman asked with a hint of curiosity.
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Haha, I said..."
She was interrupted by Jiang Cheng.
"Sister, I want to ask you something."
"No problem, as long as it’s on this street, I don’t familiar with it, but I’m curious, how much does a stall cost you pay a month?"
"Really, pretty simple curiosity."
"It’s not much, this street sells roasted sweet potatoes, but if you sell’t, you won’t make much money, sell something else, you’ll be robbed."
She seemed to relax, smiling a little, "You should not be here, selling roasted sweet potatoes. This is a dangerous business, you know?"
"I’ve been here for two or two, it’s too dangerous. be robbed."
"But I’ve been robbed many times, and I’m worried, but I’ll be fine. I’ve been here for two or two, it’s too dangerous. I’ll be robbed, but I’ll try to say a few more words, then returned to the main topic.
"We don’t charge much here, only a thousand a month, but I’ve been robbed a few times. I’ve told the gang members, but they don’t care. If we say a few more words, they’ll beat us up."
"So, a thousand a month, it’s really?"
"Of course, really, I’ve been selling here for two months, and I’ll pay 1200."
"2000 a month, it’s really. But there are still some on this street who try to rob us money, and they don’t care. They’re envious, but we’re fine. I’ll tell them to back their faces if I need to."
"And then?"
Jiang Cheng's heart had a vague idea of the truth.
But he still couldn't bring himself to believe it.
"Later, a powerful group came and killed everyone from the Great Rock Gang. The bodies were left on the streets, and everyone could go and spit on them. Then, that group formed the Skyward Gang that we have now."
"When we heard about it, we didn't have high hopes. We thought they were just like the previous gangs, only thinking about squeezing money out of us. But guess what?"
"What?"
"They only charge 500 yuan for protection fees each month! That's more than half the price of the previous Great Rock Gang. And they actually do their job after taking the money. Every evening, they send people to patrol the alleys. If they encounter robbers, they capture them and tie them up on the main street. After doing this a few times, no one dared to rob people in the alleys anymore."
"There's actually such a good thing..."
Jiang Cheng muttered to himself.
"That's right. You don't know that people from other streets want to move here. The protection fees are lower, and it's safer. It's just a pity..."
The woman sighed.
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that they can't come. I heard that the other gangs on the streets have people keeping an eye out. If they catch anyone with luggage, wanting to move here, they break their legs. I also heard..."
The woman looked around and whispered, "The surrounding gangs have fought with the Skyward Gang many times. I don't know if the Skyward Gang can hold out. I really hope that this street will always be managed by the Skyward Gang. If it changes to another gang, will we still have such good days? Don't you think I'm right, young man?"
"Mhm."
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.
But his heart was filled with complex emotions.
Perhaps the Skyward Gang was still a gang, relying on protection fees for a living.
However, compared to other gangs, they had too much conscience. The most important thing was that they actually did their job after taking the money.
Unlike the Wild Wolf Gang, who collected the fees and then had their thugs collect a second time.
He went to other places and asked around.
The results were the same.
The people living here couldn't praise the newly emerged Skyward Gang enough.
He even saw a few members of the Skyward Gang.
Unlike the members of the Wild Wolf Gang or the Iron Fist Gang, who carried long knives and exuded a murderous aura, these people were wearing uniforms similar to those of a martial arts gym. Although they carried weapons, they were fastened to their waists.
Wherever they went, they were warmly welcomed by the people around, and many street vendors even offered them their own goods.
Jiang Cheng silently observed this scene.
Perhaps the 500 yuan management fee per month was still a bit high.
But for the people on this street, it was the best choice.
He also suspected that the Skyward Gang might not receive much of this money. Most of it was probably given to the Law Enforcement Bureau, otherwise, those Force Knights wouldn't be here.
"If I wanted to go after them for 100,000 yuan, it would seem a bit ruthless."
Jiang Cheng thought about this and let out a bitter laugh.
He had done such things before, but not as thoroughly as these people from the Skyward Gang.
But then he felt a surge of sorrow.
Because these people were being targeted by the Dawn Society.
Just because they had a little more conscience.
If they didn't leave and were killed, it would be a pity.
