Chapter 51： Underground boxing ring?

Leo became interested, sat up straight, and motioned old Tom to continue.

"Mr. Erwin, I actually mentioned this place to you a while ago. It is the home of the Black Fist Gang. That place used to be a six-story shopping mall, which definitely meets your requirements."

"Didn't you say at the time that the black boxing gang's lair was an underground boxing ring a few blocks north? Why did it suddenly become a shopping mall?"

Leo especially emphasized the word "underground", expressing his confusion about the inconsistency in Old Tom's words.

"Boss Erwin, the underground boxing ring means an informal boxing ring, it doesn't mean that the boxing ring must be opened underground..."

Leo was stunned after hearing this. He originally thought that the underground boxing ring was really opened underground.

"Uh...then why did it take you five days to remember this place?"

Leo felt a little embarrassed, so he found a reason to question old Tom.

"Actually...I originally thought it was a basement, but today I found out that it turned out to be a six-story shopping mall. I used to work for the Black Bear Gang, so how dare I go to the Black Fist Gang's territory."

"Then why did you suddenly know today?"

"I..., in fact, in addition to the underground boxing ring, the Black Fist Gang is also in the gambling business. I've run out of money recently, so I sneaked in quietly, trying to win some money..."

"Did you win?"

"It's a clean loss!"

Old Tom spread his hands, looking like he was unlovable.

Leo thought for a while and then asked:

"I'm more curious, how did the Black Fist Gang get their current nest? How can they have a six-story shopping mall with such a large space. Or, who would be thinking about building a shopping mall in Hell's Kitchen? Planting something, isn't that a steady loss?"

Leo was looking for a place to open a company. Now he heard that the old nest of the Black Fist Gang met his requirements, so he wanted to inquire about the ins and outs of the old nest, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future.

"I really found out about this."

Old Tom said with enthusiasm,

"This matter has to go back to five years ago. At that time, a nouveau riche came from abroad, as if he made a lot of money in real estate in his own country. He came to New York and wanted to speculate in real estate in New York.

When he first arrived, he was unfamiliar with his life, so he was tricked into investing money to build a big shopping mall on the northernmost street in Hell's Kitchen. The result can be imagined, not only can the shops in his shopping mall not be rented out, but there are countless gangsters going to steal chickens every night.

It was useless for him to call the police, and no security guard was willing to work in his shopping mall, and even his life was threatened. In the end, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and run away in despair. "

"Then how did the mall end up in the hands of gangsters? No one in the New York City government wants such a big mall?!"

"Since the rich businessman ran away, the house has become ownerless, and it stands to reason that the building should really belong to the New York City government.

But this house is in Hell's Kitchen, so no one in New York City officials wants to take care of it, lest it cause a riot.

In the end, the mall was left without an owner, and was scrambled and robbed by the gangsters of Hell's Kitchen. After changing hands several times, it now belongs to the Black Boxing Gang, which has occupied the place for more than two years. "

After listening to old Tom's words, Leo felt relieved. Listening to Old Tom's description, the black boxing gang's nest is indeed suitable for Leo to use to open a company.

The place was first snatched by the Black Fist Gang, and Leo borrowed it for his own use without any burden on his heart.

Secondly, the place is unowned. Once Leo gets his hands on it, he believes that he can get the land deed of that place by looking for someone to ask for a relationship and spend a little money. In this way, Leo is not only nominally, but also legally the owner of the place.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't wait to borrow the old nest of the Black Fist Gang. However, things about the gang are now left to Bucky. So, Leo said:

"Old Tom, I don't have anything to do with you. You go out and call Bucky over by the way, and say I have something to discuss with him."

But old Tom didn't leave, he looked at Leo with a flattering expression and said:

"Mr. Erwin, as you said last time, if you find a house that you are satisfied with, you will give me a bonus of two thousand dollars."

"I said it was two hundred, right?"

"Have pity on me! I lost all my money today, I don't even have to smoke a cigarette. The Black Bear Gang is gone again. I don't know what to do now..."

"Do you still blame me for losing money? Now that you have helped us with the identity certificate, I have no reason to keep you. You are free."

"Mr. Erwin, Boss Erwin, you can't cross the river and demolish the bridge! The Black Bear Gang is gone now, and I'm homeless. I've also done a lot of things for you and Boss Bucky these past few days. .

Why don't you leave me as an errand runner. I'm familiar with Hell's Kitchen, and it's a lot easier to have a local person. I don't want money, I just need to eat and live..."

As a native of Hell's Kitchen, Old Tom certainly has many enemies. In the past, he was supported by the Black Bears, but now that the Black Bears are gone, he lives alone in Hell's Kitchen, and it is estimated that life will not be easy.

Moreover, he also discovered that although Leo and Bucky were usually fierce towards him, they didn't really mean to kill him, and even gave him a little money from time to time.

Such a good thigh, how could Old Tom let go of his hand so easily, of course he should hug him tightly.

Leo couldn't stand Old Tom's hard work, and finally gave him five hundred dollars as a reward, and agreed to let him follow him and Bucky temporarily, and then he was sent away.

After old Tom left, Leo was lost in thought. Old Tom has already helped Leo find a place to open his business, but Leo needs to come up with the right idea to get the mall.

It's impossible to kill the Black Bear Gang last time. If there is too much noise, the mall is not suitable for opening a company, and it will be targeted by the police and interested people.

In a short period of time, several ideas flashed through Leo's mind, but they were rejected by him one by one.

At this moment, Bucky pushed open Leo's door and walked in, asking:

"Old Tom said you had something to do with me, what's the matter?"

Bucky lives right across from Leo, and he usually rests in the house during the day. As soon as old Tom left, he went back to the house and said to Bucky, and Bucky came over.

Leo hasn't come up with any good ideas yet, to steal the six-story shopping mall from the Black Fist Gang quietly.

So, Leo told Bucky about his plan to start a company and the nest of the Black Fist Gang, ready to ask Bucky if he could do anything.

"No nonsense, just do it! In the evening, we will go to their lair and take the people from the Black Fist Gang in one pot In this way, the mall is ours."

This is the idea given by Bucky, in line with Bucky's style, simple and rude, straight to the point.

Leo was a little speechless for a moment. After a while, Leo reorganized his language, raised his head and said to Bucky:

"But, Bucky, do you think the two of us will directly take over the black boxing gang's nest, and we will be able to open a company in their nest?

Think carefully about the scene where we killed the black bear. The entire second floor of the Pure Love Bar was about to be destroyed by us. We even used grenades. How much noise did it make?

If we forcibly end other people's nests like this, we will eventually know both black and white. Immediately, we set up a company in that mall. Do you think our company can continue? Will someone come to us to talk about cooperation and business? "

Bucky thought for a while, felt that Leo was right, and asked:

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I think it would be nice if we could quietly take down that mall. For example, the people of the Black Fist gang would obediently hand over their lair, and we wouldn't need to fight them, that would be perfect. Happening."

"How can such a good thing happen... They are not your puppets, they will obey you obediently and be at your mercy..."

After listening to Leo's thoughts, Bucky felt that he was delusional and a little powerless to complain.

However, the word "puppet" that Bucky said just now instantly caught Leo's eyes. Leo suddenly smiled and nodded, and said to Bucky:

"Bucky, thank you for reminding me, I have an idea now. Do you remember, when you were in Hydra, you would be brainwashed again every time you were frozen and dormant.

Actually, I understand that set of procedures! "
