Chapter 21: Vulture Bandits (Seeking follow-up reading)
19 Lombard Street, 2nd floor.
Luo Yi sat behind the desk, with the top two buttons of his pure white shirt undone, revealing his strong chest muscles. His body leaned back casually with a free and easy posture.
In front of him, Ange stood steadily, and he was dressed much more appropriately today.
The gray gentleman's suit is well-tailored, and the matching trousers are also smooth and new. With a bowler hat, he also has a gentlemanly demeanor.
The only thing that didn't seem to fit in was that he wore a big red bow tie, which looked very strange.
However, at this moment, he tilted his head slightly, frowned slightly, and murmured: "Mr. Luo Yi, in short, what you are looking for is a master who can let you fight with all your strength?
This one, I’m afraid, is not easy to find!”
Luo Yi lowered his head slightly and asked, "Could it be that the ban from the Public Security Bureau is still in place, so no one dares to come out and commit crimes?"
"That's not the case!"
Ange shook his head: "After the signing of the treaty, the nobles left and the ban was abolished long ago.
Moreover, because they have been suppressed for such a long time, those thieves, robbers, and gang members have been pent up for a long time and are very restless recently."
"However, those worthy of Mr. Luo Yi's serious attention must be at least second-level combat professionals. With this calculation, the number is much smaller."
Luo Yi asked curiously, "You mean, there aren't many people in gangs who are above level two?"
"Mr. Loy, please stop joking."
Ange explained with a wry smile: "A second-level combat professional is already very strong.
As long as your background is relatively clean, wouldn't it be easy to find a chamber of commerce and become a guard captain?
Why live in a ditch when you don't have to worry about life, don't have to fight every day, and can earn more money and have more resources?
"So, if there are second-level combatants who are involved in gangs, most of them have committed some serious crime, or offended the nobles, and can only stay in the gang."
"Even so, they are either gang bosses or supporters behind the gangs, and they only accept money from the gangs to help settle some matters.
Others simply don’t get involved because they feel it would be cheap!”
Luo Yi continued to ask, "If that's what you said, there are no third-level extraordinary warriors in gangs?"
"I've only heard others brag about the people you're talking about. They actually have another name, the King of the Night.
These people are basically the controllers of the underground world of a city. They even collude with the ruling officials, working together to make a lot of money.
However, I can guarantee that there is no such thing in Oakland, because all the gangs are fighting almost every day."
Ange explained for a long time, then frowned and said, "Although there are several large gangs that are suspected to have second-level combat capabilities, they are more mysterious than the other, and it is really difficult to find their exact location."
After a pause, he continued, "However, if we can expand the scope and not limit it to the city, or the gangs, it will be easier to find them."
Luo Yi's eyes lit up: "This can be relaxed. It doesn't matter whether it's a bounty mission or not. As long as he is strong enough and I can stop him, it's fine."
"In that case, I actually thought of one."
"who?"
"The leader of the Vulture Bandits, Vulture Black Jack."
Luo Yi became interested, sat up straight, and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down and talk. Have some tea first!"
As he said this, he pushed the brewed tea on the table over, along with sugar cubes and some snacks.
He also picked up a cup himself.
The tea is black tea, red and black in color. People here like to add sugar when drinking tea, and Ang is one of them.
He picked up two pieces of brown sugar and put them in, then imitated the nobles, picked up a spoon and stirred it before taking a sip.
Then, he told the story about the Vulture Bandits.
The emergence of magical machinery did indeed bring about tremendous changes to the Habsburg Empire, but it also greatly impacted the original social system.
To the extent that the chaos under the light has almost reached an uncontrollable level.
Take the city of Oakland for example. There are many gangs inside the city, and there are many active bandit groups outside the city.
They robbed passers-by and caravans, often making a quick buck, looting everything, and then hiding in the mountains and forests to enjoy a peaceful life.
The Vulture Bandits are the most ferocious gang around Auckland City.
Its leader, Vulture, was said to be a detective by profession, skilled in concealment, tracking, and swordsmanship. He had a good life originally.
However, during a mission, he discovered the private affairs of a certain nobleman and was hunted down, forcing him to go into exile.
Finally, he found many hunters who couldn't make a living outside the city of Oakland, formed a bandit group, and trained many good fighters.
He never provoked the caravans of the great nobles, and would not even touch them. However, if he came across any small or medium-sized caravans, he would not let any of them go.
As for the caravans robbed by the Vulture Bandits, basically no one survived. It is no exaggeration to say that they killed people like crazy.
The Public Security Bureau has been offering a bounty on this man's head for a long time. The bounty has been increasing one after another, but the bounty hunters who accepted the bounty have never come back.
There was even a rumor that Black Jack was about to reach the third level of transcendence. Of course, this was mostly false.
Oliveira, the captain of Count Raymond's guard, is only a third-level transcendent, that's no small matter!
Black Jack is just a robber, what qualifications does he have?
However, to be able to live this long, he must have some abilities, definitely at the second level, but I wonder how strong his fighting spirit is?
There is no doubt that this is a tricky guy, but the reason why Ang mentioned him is because he got to know his whereabouts by chance.
The bandits robbed and obtained a lot of goods, but apart from those that could be used, most of them were actually useless.
What they have to do is to resell these goods and convert them into money.
The Vulture Bandits have reached a cooperation with the Bloody Hand Gang in Oakland City. One is robbing and the other is distributing, which complements each other.
Ang's Brotherhood actually has nothing to do with the Vulture Bandits. They just discovered some secrets while monitoring the Bloody Hand Gang.
The Brotherhood Gang is not very powerful. The only thing worth mentioning is the little beggars all over the streets, who are their eyes and ears.
By chance, they discovered that the Blood Hand Gang had a warehouse along the wall in the east of the city.
There's nothing wrong with the warehouse, but how can shipments be far greater than purchases?
This made Ang cautious, and then he discovered that there was actually an underground passage there, connecting the city and the outside world, which could be used to transport some illegal items and avoid city gate inspections and taxes.
Among these goods, some were provided by the Vulture Bandits.
Their specific transaction time is not fixed. After all, it is hard to say how much they can harvest each time. However, they will make an agreement in advance and then sell the goods outside the city.
Every time, Vulture Black Jack would be present, and Bloody Hand Bode would also go in person from the Bloody Hand Gang.
As for more specific details, such as the price for purchasing stolen goods, how to pay the money, how to check and transport them, etc., Ang was not very clear.
But this information was enough. Luo Yi immediately decided to use Black Jack as his whetstone.
If it were before, Luo Yi would still be a little wary.
But now, with Oliveira, he can't be said to have no taboos, but he can kill a robber outside the city without any hesitation.
Of course, he would make every necessary preparation.
So he asked Ang to continue his investigation and collect more and more comprehensive information.
Ang received the mission and left. It can be imagined that he was very busy these days.
As for Luo Yi, he still followed the same rhythm as before, but his training had changed to focus on sword training and building up momentum, and the breathing method was only used to maintain the state.
He was adjusting his body and mind bit by bit, striving to reach his peak condition in this battle.
As time went by, news about Ang continued to come in.
It was mainly from the Blood Hand Gang. He had a clear understanding of the route for selling stolen goods, including where to pick up the goods, which shops to distribute them to, which roads to take, and what the prices were.
Ang is familiar with this route.
Then, even the stolen goods outside the city were not from the same bandit group, and the transaction details were different.
However, only the Vulture Bandits and the Blood Hand Gang take it seriously.
But not all bandit groups can allow Bloody Bode to personally handle every transaction.
Because both of them have to be there, the problem arises. Someone has to communicate and agree on the time and place for every transaction.
And the man's behavior patterns were also mastered by Ang.
So, just wait quietly.
And this wait lasted for three days!
Three days later, in the evening, Ang came running to report the news, and it was confirmed.
Luo Yi was straightforward. He picked up the silver angel sword, put on a piece of leather armor, and led Oliveira to set off.
Update, update!
