Chapter 827 - Promotion for Power and Fortune (2/2)

“I’m one of Augustino’s VIP guests, so Sander will give me some face.” Gus Gilles nodded. “Boss Tang, if you really have the money and the capital to remove Augustino, you can meet Sander and I’m sure he’ll agree to a deal with you. But…”

“But what?” asked Tang Xiu with pressed brows.

“But, can we have some changes in our deal?” asked Gus Gilles seriously. “I don’t want money, just your help with an issue of mine.”

“Do tell. What kind of problem do you have?” asked Tang Xiu.

“I’d like you to eliminate four people after your plan is successful,” said Gus Gilles. “They are gang leaders in Tel Aviv and quite powerful.”

Tang Xiu didn’t immediately answer his request but instead asked with a pale smile, “You want us to kill the other four gang leaders so that you can become the kingpin or godfather of Tel Aviv’s underworld?”

“That’s right. As long as those four are eliminated, those under them will cause trouble. It is highly likely that there will be internal struggles for the leader position. When they fight to the death, it will be the time for me to act. I have 70-80% of confidence that I’ll be the godfather of all of Tel Aviv’s underworld; that is, once they die.”

“Alright. Deal.” Tang Xiu nodded.

Seeing Tang Xiu agree so quickly was not something Gus Gilles expected, so he immediately said excitedly, “I’ll contact Sander then. I’ll personally inform you after the time and place are determined.”

“Alright.”

Tang Xiu sent Gus Gilles to leave with his gaze before he waved to Jin Shi and said, “Follow him in secret and monitor his actions. If you find him backstabbing us, or doing some shitty trick to expose us, kill him directly.”

“Understood.” Jin Shi nodded cautiously and went out silently.

Labor camp 1319.

In the northernmost part of the prison, there was a six-story building with a wide and spacious hall at the bottom. An arena platform, or rather a fighting ring, had been set up in the hall. Two fighters were wearing big boxers and were engaged in a grueling fight on the ring, while hundreds of people sat in the surroundings.

“Commander Augustino, who do you think will win the final?”

A foreign mean in a suit and shiny shoes was smoking a cigar spoke in a relaxed manner as he asked casually, puffing out smoke as he spoke.

The highest official of labor camp 1319, Augustino, still wore an obsequious smile and said, “Mr. Newark, the no. 6 Fleshgrinder and no.3 Thanatos are very powerful experts in our prison. Fleshgrinder has a record of 4 wins from 4 fights, but Thanatos also has 5 wins and 1 draw from 5 fights. I can’t tell which one of them will become the final winner from their fight.”

Newark pointed to Thanatos and slowly said, “I think Thanatos will be the ultimate winner. He hasn’t used the weapon he’s good at so far, and his opponent hasn’t been able to push him too hard. That Fleshgrinder, though, didn’t you see that he’s very powerful but a little too sluggish?”

Augustino nodded with a pensive look a few times and then said, “I think you’re right, Mr. Newark. I hope he can win the last game too! Else, I’ll lose quite a sum of money that I’ve betted.”

Newark was the leader of an arms dealer who controlled arms trafficking through various channels in Israel. Rumors had it that he was very close with the state. He was also the main supporter behind Augustino becoming the highest-ranking official of the labor camp 1319 by pouring in a lot of money to help him.

“In the fights between experts, any negligence or mistakes will cost them their lives. More so that the situation in combat is rapidly changing. Nobody can say who will be the ultimate winner now,” Newark nodded.

Suddenly, Sander, who was sitting on the chair next to Augustino, took out his mobile and was surprised to see the caller shown on its screen. It was because the person who called him turned out to be Gus Gilles, the most powerful gang leader in Tel Aviv.

‘What does he want from me?’

Sander didn’t want to talk to Gus Gilles, but it was hard to not to at this time. He quickly glanced at Augustino, then bent over and stood up to leave the spectator area and run outside. As he found a remote spot, he picked up the phone and spoke, “Gus Gilles, shouldn’t you take the initiative to find Augustino? Why are you calling me?”

“It’s your promotion. It’s quite a good thing to have more power and fortune, don’t you think? I wonder if you’re interested.” Gus Gilles’s voice was heard from the phone.

“Sorry, I don’t get what you mean,” answered Sander, frowning.

“There’s no need for you to understand it for the time being. You just need to remember to cooperate with me. Not only can you be promoted to the highest-ranking position in labor camp 1319, but you can also earn yourself quite a fortune,” said Gus Gilles with a smile. “I’ll arrange the time and place for you to meet with someone around midday tomorrow.”
