Chapter 1348 Can a Powerful Dragon Suppress a Local Snake?
Suddenly, a commotion arose at the casino entrance. The casino manager rushed out and saw about twenty locals standing at the bottom of the casino steps. Judging from their clothes, they were clearly not good people.
One of the guys, with dyed red hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips, took two steps forward and looked up at the casino manager.
he shouted.
"Where's the boss? We're from Morobing. We knew your casino was opening tomorrow, so we came early to offer our congratulations."
He waved his hand,
"Bring the gifts up."
A thug chuckled and handed over a large rooster.
"I heard that casinos also worship Guan Yu, the God of War and Wealth? Then we're brothers, not outsiders. Call your Boss He out here. Today, he'll chop off a chicken's head, burn yellow paper, and swear an oath of brotherhood with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared between Little Red Hair's eyebrows. His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the people on the steps.
Da Bao took a step back, waved his hand, and handed the pistol to Xiao Dao, who then tucked the gun into his waistband.
Lian Hu, carrying a submachine gun, strode up the steps. He pointed it at the sky, pulled the trigger, and a burst of gunfire rang out as half a magazine of bullets flew into the air.
Lian Hu leveled his gun, pointing it at the trembling thugs, and Da Bao said impatiently.
"I'm giving you a chance to live. Within an hour, make Morobing kneel here and await your fate. If you don't come, Morobing and his family will not see the sun rise tomorrow morning! Get out!"
The remaining thugs quickly picked up the dead man from the ground and ran away.
Da Bao took the handkerchief Xiao Dao handed him, crossed his arms, and said proudly.
“We’re open to do business, and some people are trying to blackmail us. It seems you’re too kind. They’ve already been pushed around like madmen, and you’re still just tolerating it.”
So this is your tactic, He Xin? Indecisiveness is a major taboo in doing things. I'm very disappointed in you..."
He turned to Little Knife and Little Ear and said.
“We run a casino, not a charity. What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come here asking for money with a chicken or a snake? I want to see Morobing and his whole family within an hour. Remember, I said the whole family. Even a three-month-old baby, I want to see him.”
Little Knife and Little Ears answered loudly, then turned and led their men to carry out their orders.
He Xin, looking ashamed, took a step forward and said.
"Boss, I was wrong. I kept thinking that money could solve the problem, but I didn't expect that I would feed a bunch of greedy wolves."
"Where there are casinos, there are gangsters. Where there is money, there will be these people looking for it. That's understandable. It's fine to throw away a little money. But if they dare to bring these things to the casino to cause trouble and cut off your source of income, and you're still trying to reason with them or tell them stories, it's just a joke."
Opposite the casino is a small square. Parking is not allowed in front of the casino, so there is no parking lot. The rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages that drop people off leave immediately after dropping them off.
The small square was empty except for a few colorful lights.
Da Bao called over the casino manager.
“We need to dig a pit there, bury some people tonight, and then cover it with a square marble platform, 1.5 meters high, and put a stone tablet on it.”
The stone tablet reads: Anyone who threatens the security of the casino shall die!
You have one night to see this before the opening tomorrow. Can you do that?
The casino manager, a man of many experience, felt his blood boil at the thought of the scene and quickly replied.
"Don't worry, boss, I can do it!"
Da Bao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"very good!"
……
Da Bao, Ye Han, and the others sat leisurely on the steps at the casino entrance, eating fruit and drinking tea. Below, many people were busy in the square, with building materials piled up like small mountains.
There were no streetlights in the area. Guo Yingnan was having dinner with the Governor-General at the Governor's Mansion when Da Bao made a phone call to the Governor-General. The Governor-General immediately ordered the Construction Department and the Power Company to make sure that the road between Jinsha International and Yongle Palace was lit up within three days.
So the Architectural Services Department and the power company started work overnight, and the commotion attracted many villagers to watch...
Moro Bing was from Zhuzai Village. His brothers were also idle hooligans from the surrounding villages. Martial arts were popular in those days, so all these hooligans knew a thing or two.
Otherwise, Moro Bing wouldn't dare challenge the Dragon Tiger Gate.
In Haojiang, there are two local tyrants, one in the south and one in the north, who control the entire underworld of Haojiang. The one in the south is Moro Bing, who is of mixed race, with one-quarter Portuguese blood.
To the north is Broken Tooth Giant, a native of Haojiang. He lost both his parents at a young age and worked odd jobs at various martial arts schools. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a martial arts genius, learning a little bit here and a little bit there. By the time he turned eighteen, none of the martial arts schools could beat him, and he earned the nickname Broken Tooth Giant.
This time, the Ho family opened the Lisboa Hotel and the StarWorld Casino, while outsiders opened the Yongle Palace and Sands International. The Ho family doesn't dare to mess with them now, but they have to get a piece of the pie in Yongle and Sands. When they become powerful, the Ho family will have to come and ask them to protect the security of their casinos.
Their methods are always underhanded and unethical. These so-called local bullies control the seafood, vegetables, rice, flour, oil, and even drinking water of the entire Macau region.
These are the lifelines of survival. If anyone disobeys them or refuses to pay protection money, they dare to prevent the people from selling you seafood, vegetables, and grains, and even poison your drinking water wells until you realize that you have bowed your head and compromised.
Even someone as powerful as Fu Laorong back then had to use a portion of his profits to bribe these local bullies.
Moro Bing and Bengya Ju are together now. They had originally agreed to negotiate with the Dragon Tiger Gate at midnight, so they gathered in the open space in front of the ancestral hall in Zhuzai Village.
More than a dozen round tables were set up in the open space, and pots of steaming hot dishes were brought out one after another, and the people began to eat and drink heartily.
Moro Bing and Bengya Ju, along with several of their trusted subordinates, sat at a table. Besides the communal soup, there were also several seafood side dishes on the table.
Morobing was short and stocky, with a face full of fat and a fierce look. He was only wearing a vest, revealing the tattoos on his body. He had these tattoos done in Japan, with one side of his body covered in tattooed ghost faces and the other side covered in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Broken Tooth Giant was a few years younger than Moro Bing. He had his front teeth knocked out, so in a fit of anger, he replaced them all with gold. Now, when he opened his mouth, it glittered under the light...
