Chapter 1695: The Strange 'Logging Axe'
Xiao Peng had a reason for asking this! The people standing next to them, clapping, didn't look like good people. They looked like the kind of villains who wouldn't survive a minute in a movie.
"Are we here to cause trouble?" The leading man looked at Xiao Peng. "If I were here to cause trouble, I wouldn't be so quiet as to listen to your eloquent speech. On the contrary, you are the one who is here to cause trouble, right?"
"Am I looking for trouble?" Xiao Peng and Fabian looked at each other in surprise. "Dude, compared to these guys around here, we're considered premium customers, right? We've only been chatting here and haven't even started picking up girls yet! What? Is it wrong not to pick up girls here?"
The leading man looked wild, but he was actually quite polite. "Do you mind if I sit down for a while?"
"Of course!" Xiao Peng pointed to the opposite side and signaled Desarev and Cherichev who were sitting opposite to him to make room. Kasin and the others also saw the situation here. Xiao Peng winked at them to signal them not to come over. He also wanted to see what this guy wanted to do?
The man sat down and introduced himself: "My name is Vladimir Mishustin. What should I call you?"
Xiao Peng answered seriously: "My name is Xiao Peng, but considering that you can't pronounce it correctly, everyone calls me Mr. Xiao. Of course, my friends can call me Xiao."
The man glanced at Xiao Peng and said, "Mr. Xiao, I like Daxia people, and you don't look like an ordinary person. But I have to tell you that this is the territory of the 'Axe Felling' gang. As the boss of the 'Axe Felling' gang, I don't want to see you causing trouble on my territory."
He is not so polite to everyone, but Xiao Peng's current demeanor and temperament are so confident, and the guys around him who look like bodyguards are not easy to mess with, so he spoke to Xiao Peng calmly.
But Xiao Peng's next words were quite hurtful: "The Lumberjacks' Axe Gang? What is that? I only know the 'Tomahawk'. Desarev, do you know what the 'Lumberjacks' Gang is?"
Speaking of the world's famous gangs, many people will first think of Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and the Italian Mafia. The former... is legal in Japan, while the latter has to thank movies and TV shows like "The Godfather". Otherwise, they would talk about those organizations like the "Salvadorans" that are notorious in the United States. But to be honest, compared with Russia's "Tomahawk", they are really children's play.
Russia's "Tomahawks" are a product of the times. They were born in the 1980s when the Soviet Union was mired in the Afghan War and the domestic situation was extremely unstable. In the early 1990s, the Soviet Union collapsed and the entire Russia was in chaos politically and economically. Gangs took advantage of the situation and seized a large amount of wealth through violence and crime. The largest gang at that time was the "Tomahawks" - to be precise, all Russian gangs at that time called themselves "Tomahawks."
It is no exaggeration to say that the "Tomahawks" in Russia at that time had absolute power. Businessmen would rather pay them protection fees than pay taxes to the country. At that time, the Russian government had not established relevant institutions, but the "Tomahawks" took the lead in carrying out the "commercial arbitration" business. It was definitely a representative of "cultured gangsters"!
Moreover, due to the unstable political situation in Russia at that time, many officials were worried about their own future and used the power in their hands to the maximum extent to benefit themselves. Cooperation with "Tomahawk" was also a common occurrence at that time.
Their business scope is truly vast. There were many Russian women selling genitals in Japan, and they were basically the ones who got them. They also do drug trafficking, arms trafficking, money laundering... there's nothing they wouldn't do.
In 2002, the St. Petersburg police cracked down on a Tomahawk den and seized more than 2,000 weapons, including grenades, machine guns, rocket launchers, etc., and this was just the tip of the iceberg.
But gangs are gangs after all. When Russia stabilized, they were suppressed by the emperor with an iron fist. Two major gang bosses died. The current security in Russia is really a world apart from what it was ten years ago.
Of course, there is still gang culture in Russia, so there are still many small gangs here, such as the "Lumberjack Axe".
Desaryev shook his head and said, "I don't know, Mr. Xiao. You know, there are seven or eight thousand small gangs in Russia right now. Three or five people call themselves gangs, but in fact, they don't cause too much bad influence, and the police are too lazy to deal with them."
After listening to their conversation, even though he knew Xiao Peng was not someone to be trifled with, Vladimir Mishustin couldn't afford to lose face in front of his younger brother. "What do you mean? Mr. Xiao, I'm so polite to you, yet you're so rude? I'm sure now that you're here to cause trouble!"
Xiao Peng frowned. "Mr. Mishustin, you keep saying we're here to cause trouble. You should at least tell us what we did wrong, right? I'm completely confused by what you're saying now."
Vladimir Mishustin looked at Xiao Peng and said, "After seeing you, our most beautiful dancer cried so hard backstage that she couldn't even leave. Isn't this the trouble you caused?"
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "What does this have to do with me? I paid the money!"
Desarev said, "She also gave her tens of thousands of rubles, enough for her to dance all night!"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers after hearing this. "Did you hear that? Mr. Mishustin, I'm not causing any trouble. I'm just here for fun. What does it have to do with me if your sister doesn't dance anymore? You should talk to her, not me!"
"She has to dance! She owes me a lot of money! How can she pay me back if she doesn't dance?" said Vladimir Mishustin.
Xiao Peng suddenly realized that this was the reason why Dalia was dancing here.
"Well, you should be saying this to her, not to me, right?" Xiao Peng wasn't a pushover. Paying back debts was a matter of course, but who knew why Daria owed the money? Aren't there many women in China who have fallen into loan sharking out of vanity? As a flight attendant flying international flights, Daria's income was undoubtedly much higher than the average person's. So why did she go into debt?
Vladimir Mishustin said after hearing this: "Although I hope she pays back the money, I will not force her. That would be a crime!"
Now, not to mention Xiao Peng, even Desarev and the others opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say.
"Dude, aren't you the gang leader? What you are saying now doesn't sound like what a gang leader would say!" Xiao Peng couldn't help but complain!
Vladimir Mishustin's eyes widened as he asked, "Don't you know to abide by the law? Don't you know that you can't force a woman's will?"
Xiao Peng was completely stunned. "I can hardly hold back my curse words now. Tell me what you want from me!"
