"Have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
In a gloomy alley in Alfalfa City, uncleaned sewage formed stinky puddles along the terrain. Rats walked slowly through the garbage dump in the corner, and the foul smell filled the air.
In such an unbearably harsh environment, a few young people in worn-out shirts gathered together, sharing the new things that happened in this city with great interest.
"The caravan that entered the city last night, hehe, it really was stolen!"
"I need to say! I really can't figure out that there are even caravans who dare to come to Clover City? Is this looking down on this chaotic city?"
"Who made the move, do you know?"
"It should be Orlando's men. How many thieves in this city are not his?"
"What did they steal?"
"I don't know, but it's just a petty theft, and how many things can be stolen. If I want to say, I should do a big vote, and everyone will ransack the caravan together!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"I agree!"
"You agree to have a fart, this requires the consent of Capone." A short, chubby young man with meticulously combed hair said disdainfully.
Hearing this, everyone was a little silent.
Because recently, as the president of the Alfalfa Brotherhood, after Capone gradually controlled the situation in Alfalfa City, he unexpectedly began to restrain his subordinates and prevent them from burning, killing and looting as before.
According to Capone-"We are about to become the masters of this city. How can a master wantonly ruin his own home?"
From this sentence, we can see Capone's ambition.
But this is not surprising. Every dark force will think about whitewashing when it reaches a certain stage of development.
It's just this restriction that makes all the forces in the Clover Brotherhood a little bit resistant.
If Capone were not strong and prestigious in Alfalfa City, I am afraid that the Alfalfa Brotherhood would fight on their own.
Seeing everyone fell into silence, the man asked in a joking tone: "Do you know that the steward of the caravan even went to the city lord's mansion to report the crime. It really laughed me to death, hahaha..."
"Report?"
The rest of the people were also immediately happy, as if they had heard a big joke.
"Looking for that eggless city lord, it's better to come to our boss Capone."
"Hehe, Boss Capone doesn't care about such trivial things..."
As soon as this sentence was finished, a person hurried over and said breathlessly: "Did you see Harry?"
"Harry? I didn't see it, what's the matter?"
"This kid stole something from the caravan into the city, and Capone's boss is looking for him."
After hearing this, the few people looked at each other suddenly, looking in disbelief.
They just said that Capone would not care about such trivial matters, and was immediately beaten in the face.
Until the questioning companion ran away in a hurry, the few people recovered from the shock and doubt.
"You said... how could the boss bother with this kind of thing?"
"I'm afraid Harry stole a lot of valuable things..."
This seems to be the only possible answer.
Aware of this, the breathing of the few people became obviously heavy, and the eyes that looked at each other flashed with unconcealable greed.
"Since the boss is looking for Harry, how can we not help?"
"Yes, yes, let's find them together!"
…
Clover City is not a city full of warmth, on the contrary, indifference is the normal atmosphere here.
But today, the enthusiasm of the entire city has been mobilized. Almost everyone knows that the caravan that entered the city last night was stolen, and the boss of Capone is looking for the thief who did it.
Although Capone did not say why he was looking for a thief, this does not prevent everyone from thinking "smartly" that the thief must have stolen a huge sum of money!
Otherwise, how could it arouse the attention of Capone's boss?
Again, this has attracted the attention of the whole city.
In this degenerate city full of scum and villains, no one doesn’t like money. Even if you know that this wealth shouldn’t be yours, but if it really appears in front of you, it’s at your fingertips, I’m afraid that few people can withstand it. Live this temptation.
For a time, Alfalfa City was surging.
…
In the dimly lit room, a dark-faced middle-aged man sat in his seat with a cold face.
He is not tall, he is just over one meter six, and he appears shorter after sitting down, but the whole room is shrouded in the air of this person.
Capone, the fifth-order warrior, the president of the Clover Brotherhood, is said to be standing behind a big figure in the east.
Today, Alfalfa City is under the control of this person.
On Capone's right, stood a slender half-elf with a serious face named Orlando.
This half-elf is also famous in Alfalfa City, and can be regarded as the ancestor of all thieves in the city.
It's just that the thief Patriarch's mood is very unbeautiful now.
"These are the things you stole?" Capone asked coldly, staring at a young thief who was kneeling in front of him.
"Yes, my lord, except for a gold coin that was spent on drinking yesterday, the rest are here."
The young thief's face was pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
But Capone obviously didn't believe the thief's words, and sneered: "I'll give you another chance. What else did you take besides the gold coins? As long as you give it to me, I can guarantee your safety in Alfalfa City, otherwise ,Hey-hey…"
The young thief's forehead was sweating like a bean, and he couldn't wipe it cleanly. He raised his left hand and made a nondescript swear etiquette, saying:
"My lord, I can swear to the Lord of Radiance that everything I stole last night is here. I have nothing except gold coins!"
Capone chuckled, and was about to speak, Orlando finally couldn't help but say: "Master Capone, if you want to punish my person, you must always give a valid reason? Why should he take it? What shocked you unexpectedly?"
Capone glanced at Orlando, knowing that his actions had caused dissatisfaction with the thief's grandmaster.
Although Orlando’s forces are also affiliated to the Clover Brotherhood, it stands to reason that Capone is certainly qualified to interrogate the thief in front of him, but as Orlando said, if Capone is going to fight just because the opponent has stolen some gold coins passing by the caravan, it is absolutely right. A provocation by Orlando's authority.
Capone is the president of the Clover Brotherhood in name, but this organization was originally formed by the alliance of the major underground forces in Clover City. There are many factions in it, and Capone can't really ignore the ideas of those small bosses.
So, he hesitated for a moment, and said to Orlando, "Do you know the bond issued recently by the St. Hild family?"
"Bond? I've heard about it. It's said that this thing is making a lot of noise in the North." Orlando nodded, and then realized something. His face changed suddenly and asked, "Could it be that the caravan lost something," In addition to gold coins, there are such bonds?"
"Yes." Capone said solemnly, "and it's not a small number."
"How much?" Orlando asked quietly.
"Let's put it this way, this bond is worth more than the whole Alfalfa City!"
Orlando opened his mouth wide, and UU read in disbelief: "You...you are not kidding..."
"Is it like I'm joking?" Capone sneered, and then revealed, "These bonds are what a big figure in the East wants, hey, Orlando, are you sure you can bear the consequences?"
Orlando's face instantly turned pale.
The young thief kneeling in front of the two of them was almost fainted by the news, a majestic urinary rushing constantly on his fragile nerves, only to hear him scream:
"Master Capone, Master Orlando, you must believe me! I really didn't take any bonds, I don't even know this **** bond..."
Capone snorted and urged: "Orlando, what are you waiting for?"
Orlando's face changed for a while, and finally he let out a long sigh and said coldly:
"Go to punishment."
