CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 57: WHY DON’T YOU LAUGH?

Look at God’s mood?

For the first time, family members saw someone unafraid of Johnny’s authority.

As a leader, Johnny had more than just wealth, he had power.

The gang is an interesting group; their organizational structure is simple, very similar to the military, with a strict hierarchy.

This system stems not just from understanding, but from firsthand experience.

A gang leader needs to accumulate enough authority, most of which comes from fear.

Good people don’t belong in this world.

Now, the guy challenging Johnny’s authority has appeared, Miami’s butcher, Kenny Clark, a fellow who has also accumulated enough fear.

If I hadn’t gone through all this, hadn’t slaughtered Koreans, hadn’t slaughtered Costa Ricans, I would be just an ordinary guy, unable to resist Johnny.

The Triad king taught me one thing, in the dark world you need enough power.

"Look at God’s mood?" Johnny put away his smile, it was a sarcastic remark, my task depended on God’s will.

Fack, what’s he talking about?

God, is this provoking Johnny?

Kenny is crazy!

Gang members observed each other’s expressions, they didn’t know what to do next, but they all knew I had intents to split.

Johnny’s power faced a challenge with me.

Some people took out their phones, watching women on apps.

Some people took out cigarettes, lit them, and started to relax.

The last group lowered their heads to drink.

Their actions indicated their attitude, they didn’t want internal warfare.

One is the family leader, the other is the family hero.

Their opposition brings unpredictable casualties. It means they need to pick a side, it’s not a fun choice, but a fight with familiar people.

The family members’ actions were seen by Johnny, he understood no one wanted the gang to split apart.

This behavior further indicated my influence on him, his authority was decreasing, an intolerable matter.

"God’s mood has nothing to do with me!" Johnny’s voice turned cold.

Family members also paused their actions, they knew, crisis was imminent.

"Kenny, you hurt Mars, that’s his job, so it’s your responsibility."

Johnny rationalized the origin, "The agreement affects the family’s interests, you have to fulfill it."

From origin to responsibility, Johnny placed the point of contradiction’s eruption on me.

"Whatever the result, you need to give everyone an answer."

Johnny tried to place himself on the high ground of rules, leaving the adverse elements to me.

"As the family leader, I need to lead everyone, be responsible for each person in the family, they follow me, so, I need to ensure everyone’s interests."

Haha! He shirked his responsibility, making me the enemy of everyone because I harmed their interests.

Street gangs in the United States mainly get income from drugs.

Now Johnny controls meth manufacturers, owns equipment, and factories, he can expand scale to earn a lot in the future.

But in Miami, his main opponent is the Triad.

Failing to reach an agreement with the king will affect sales in the Upper East Side.

I laughed, took the cigar out of my mouth, blew out smoke, slowly walked to the bar, stopped by a booth, leaned on the sofa back, I stared at Johnny’s face.

"So what?"

"Did you reach an agreement with the Chinese?" That was the answer Johnny needed. It was an impossible task, the Triad wouldn’t sacrifice their interests.

Gangs make rules with fists, not words!

"No."

"No?" Johnny inwardly filled with laughter, this was the answer he needed.

Sofia shook her head, shaking the wine in her glass, her eyes like stars, continuously sparkling, her gaze locked on me.

"Kenny, you’re honest, but your answer also gave Johnny an excuse. Interesting! What are you trying to do?" Sofia speculated about my intention.

Natasha looked nervously at the hall, family members gathering indicated a big event was happening, she stood behind Sofia.

"Is Kenny in trouble?"

"Uh-huh!" Sofia raised her head to drink the red wine.

"Can you help him?"

Sofia turned back, amused, looking at Natasha, "I can’t."

"Why?" Natasha anxiously holding Sofia’s hand, "You’re Johnny’s partner, also, also!" She wanted to say you are also Johnny’s lover, you have enough influence.

But now, everyone knows Sofia wants to date Kenny, and Johnny is jealous, no man can allow his woman to be with someone else.

Damn it! Natasha felt somewhat desperate, she didn’t want me to get hurt.

"Is it because of your dating? Is Johnny retaliating?"

Sofia pinched Natasha’s chin, shaking her head, "Silly girl, Johnny is a family leader, he achieves success with wisdom and ruthlessness, he won’t let a woman affect his status and career, Kenny is his threat, so, I can’t help him."

"This is your territory."

Sofia’s lips curled, "That’s right, my place, so Johnny gathered everyone, making me unable to resist."

"What should we do?"

Natasha asked anxiously.

"We can’t do anything, this is Kenny’s crisis, only he can solve it."
