Everything happened very quickly. From the time the attacker appeared to the time he launched the attack to the time he was stabbed in the neck, it only took two or three seconds.
With a cold face, Quinn stood there, not saying a word.
Lum grabbed the attacker's arm and threw him to the side.
The attacker was sent flying and heavily crashed into the ground.
Blood kept gushing out from the man's neck. The attacker struggled continuously as if he wanted to escape. However, in the end, he lost too much blood and fainted.
The blood continued to flow. In less than a minute, the attacker would be dead. However, no one paid any attention to him.
"Let's go." After that, Lum, Cobra, Xu Taiping, and the others also entered the hotel. As for the attacker, he quickly went silent, and then a few people walked up to the attacker's side and beat him up. As for the blood on the ground, it had completely melted into the black soil, leaving no other traces behind except that the soil was darker.
"Do you know why the underworld assembly is being held here? "Because there are no police here." As he walked, he laughed.
No police?
Xu Taiping had heard Quinn mention it before. At the time, he had thought it was unlikely, since it was a town after all. But now, it seemed, it might actually be as Quinn had said.
"This is a paradise for criminals. Many of those who have committed crimes in other states will come here and live here because there are no police here. Of course, it's not right to say there are no police here, I heard that there are two police officers here. But, one of these police officers is a wanted criminal in Luo City, you didn't expect that, did you?" Quinn said with a laugh.
The lackeys under Quinn's command looked at each other in dismay. The wanted criminals in Luo City had come here to be police officers. That was amazing.
"Quinn!" A rough voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Taiping looked over and saw a fat middle-aged man, about 1.6 meters tall, leading a few underlings walking towards Kui En.
"Isn't this Fran?" With a smile, Quinn walked up and shook hands.
"You're a bit late." said the man named Fran.
"It's fine, it's not dark here anyway. No matter how late you come, it's not too late." Quinn said.
"I just heard that someone tried to assassinate you at the door?" Fran asked.
"You sure are well-informed." Quinn laughed.
Haha, I just heard about it. How is it? Fran asked.
"Of course not." Quinn said.
"The person beside you should be the legendary Mister Lum, right?" Fran asked, looking at Rum.
Rum scowled but didn't say anything.
"Fran, I'm a bit tired. Let's go to my room to rest first. We can talk later!" Quinn said.
"Alright, alright, alright. You should go and rest!" As Fran said that, he glanced at Xu Taiping and his men, then he smiled and walked out.
"Let's go." "Come on," Quinn said, heading for the stairs.
Not too long after, Quinn arrived at the room he had reserved.
The room was very luxurious. It was a suite, and all of Quinn's subordinates would be staying here.
As soon as Lum entered the suite, he began to search inside, while Xu Taiping sat in the living room with Quinn and the others.
"Didn't you think about investigating the assailant?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's no need to investigate. Every year, there will be an attacker like him when the convention starts. It's useless even if we investigate him." Quinn said.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
If they feel that the people we hire are not strong enough, then they will arrange for stronger people to assassinate them. If they feel that the people we hire are strong enough, then they will most likely give up. This is a matter that happens every time, so Mr. Lum directly killed the other party to deter the finger messenger behind the attacker. Quinn said.
"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping was enlightened, then said, "Why are there no police here?"
"I don't know either." Quinn shook his head. "Perhaps it is because the environment is bad and the benefits are bad."
"Then this is really a heaven for criminals." Xu Taiping said.
"Of course." "This place is very sparsely populated. We've committed crimes in other provinces, but we've come here to hide. Almost no one will come to capture us, and people under our command will often come here to seek shelter."
"Rockefeller, you're staying in this hotel too?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It should be. I'm not too sure either. However, in a moment, the clan will host a welcoming banquet for all of us." We should be able to see him in a while. " Quinn said.
"clan?" Xu Taiping looked at Quinn curiously.
As you know, the gangs in our Mi Country originated from the European mafia, and hundreds of years ago, several families came to our country. After many years of development, almost all of the mafia families have been split, and the only one still intact is the Rexsas. Therefore, the clan has a very high status in our Mi Country, and we also call them our family. Quinn explained.
"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping was enlightened. "I don't know much about gangs, so I've never heard of the Requisa Family."
"It's normal for you to not have heard of them. The clan is only a clan with an exalted status. Their territory isn't very big right now, and there haven't been any powerful individuals in many years. It can be said that they have declined." Quinn said.
"When is the welcome dinner?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It should be soon. Someone will come to notify us!" We'll just have to wait patiently. " Quinn said.
While they were chatting, Lum finished his inspection of the entire room and came to the living room.
"The room is clean." He sat down next to Quinn.
"Every boss in today's welcome dinner can bring three of their men in. When the time comes, just the three of you can follow me in." The cobra. And Xu Taiping.
Lum glanced at Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping didn't speak much along the way, he was very low-key and didn't make a fuss at all.
"Just bring me along. There's no meaning to the two of them." Lum said without a trace of politeness.
"Although it's meaningless, it's better to bring three people." Quinn said.
Hearing Quinn's words, Rum stopped talking.
After about an hour, someone knocked on the door.
A man in a black suit said from the doorway, "Welcome to the dinner. Please follow me, Mr. Quin."
"Alright!" Quinn nodded and stood up from the sofa to walk towards the outside of the room.
Xu Taiping, Cobra, and Rum followed behind Quinn.
The four of them left the room and went straight down to the hotel lobby. They then walked along another corridor and entered a small banquet hall.
At this moment, quite a few people had arrived at the banquet hall, and all of them were wearing black suits.
In the center of the banquet hall, there was a round table with tableware placed on it.
"Mr. Quin, please wait for a moment. The banquet will begin soon!" The man who was in charge of leading the way left.
"Come with me to meet my old friends." Quinn said as he walked to the side, and soon began to chat with some people.
Xu Taiping followed behind Quinn and looked around.
He did not see Rockefeller, which meant that Rockefeller should not have arrived yet.
Xu Taiping counted roughly. There were about a dozen gang leaders on the scene, and each of them brought three men, which meant there were more than 40 people in the hall.
There were more than 40 people, but not many.
It could be seen that Quin's prestige in the underworld was very high. From time to time, people would come over to deal with him, and it was also obvious that these people respected Quin quite a bit.
The voices of the crowd were all very soft, and Xu Taiping noticed from his observation that they were also from the martial arts world. The people from the martial arts world didn't have much of an aura from their bodies, they were all wearing suits and ties, their hair was combed meticulously, even their subordinates were all dressed very decently. They didn't give off the impression of the martial arts world, but more like the elites of the upper class.
At this point, the Chinese people were a little lacking. The Chinese people were much stronger and rarely smoked cigars. Almost everyone had a cigar.
Xu Taiping observed that the number of experts he called out had to be five or six. These were all experts who had already become famous in Xu Taiping's era, and the commission for each one of them was an astronomical figure.
In this place where hot weapons couldn't be carried, the effect of an expert was enhanced to the extreme. In order to not be killed by others, these gangsters had no choice but to spend a lot of money to invite experts to protect them.
Just as Xu Taiping was observing everyone present, a commotion came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
Xu Taiping looked over and saw a group of people walking in from outside.
