Chapter 21: Vulture Bandits (Seeking follow-up reading)

19 Lombard Street, nd floor.

Luo Yi sat behind the desk, with the top two buttons of his pure white shirt unbuttoned, revealing his strong chest muscles. His body leaned back casually with a free and easy posture.

In front of him, Ang stood steadily, and he was dressed much more appropriately today.

The grey gentleman's suit was well-cut, and the matching trousers were also smooth and new. With a cylinder hat, he looked quite gentlemanly.

The only thing that was a bit inconsistent was that he was wearing a big red bow tie, which looked very strange.

However, at this moment, he tilted his head slightly, frowned slightly, and murmured: "Mr. Luo Yi, in short, what you are looking for is a master who can let you fight with all your strength?

This one, I’m afraid, is not easy to find!”

Luo Yi lowered his head slightly and asked, "Is it because the ban from the Public Security Bureau is still in place, so no one dares to come out and commit crimes?"

"That's not it!"

Ange shook his head: "After the signing of the convention, the nobles left and the ban was abolished long ago.

Moreover, because they have been suppressed for a long time, the thieves, robbers, and gang members have been pent up for a long time and are very restless during this period. "

"However, those who are worthy of Mr. Luo Yi's serious attention must be at least level 2 warriors. With this calculation, the number is much smaller."

Luo Yi asked curiously, "You mean, there aren't many people in gangs who are above level 2?"

"Mr. Loy, please stop joking."

Ange explained with a wry smile: "A second-level combat professional is already very strong.

As long as your background is relatively clean, wouldn't it be easy to just find a chamber of commerce and become a guard captain?
If you don't have to worry about life and don't have to fight every day, and you can make more money and have more resources, why should you live in a stinking ditch?"

"So, if there are second-level warriors who are in gangs, most of them have committed some serious crimes, or offended the nobles, and can only stay in gangs."

“Even so, they are either gang bosses or supporters behind the gangs, and they only accept money from the gangs to help settle some matters.

Others don’t get involved at all because they feel it’s cheap!”

Luo Yi continued to ask, "If you say so, there will be no third-level extraordinary warriors in the gangs?"

“I’ve only heard others brag about the people you’re talking about. They actually have another name, the King of Darkness.

These people are basically the controllers of a city's underworld. They even collude with the ruling officials and make a lot of money by working together.

However, I can guarantee that there is no such thing in Oakland, because all the gangs are fighting almost every day."

After explaining for a long time, Ange frowned and said, "Although there are several large gangs that are suspected to have second-level combat power, they are more mysterious than the other, and it is not easy to find their exact location."

After a pause, he continued, "However, if we can expand the scope and not limit it to the city, or the gangs, it will be easier to find."

Luo Yi's eyes lit up: "This can be relaxed. It doesn't matter whether it is a bounty mission or not. As long as he is strong enough and I can stop him, it's fine."

"In that case, I actually thought of one."

"Who?"

"The leader of the Vulture Bandits, Vulture Black Jack."

Luo Yi became interested, sat up straight, waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk, have some tea first!"

As he said this, he pushed the brewed tea on the table over, along with sugar cubes and some snacks.

He also picked up a cup himself.

The tea is black tea, red and black in color. People here like to add sugar when drinking tea, and Ang is one of them.

He picked up two pieces of brown sugar and put them in, then imitated the nobles, picked up a spoon to stir it, and then took a sip.

Then, he told the story about the Vulture Bandits.

The emergence of magical machinery did bring about tremendous changes to the Habsburg Empire, but it also had a huge impact on the original social system.

To the extent that the chaos under the light has almost reached an uncontrollable level.

For example, in the city of Oakland, there are many gangs inside the city, and there are many active bandit groups outside the city.

They robbed passers-by and caravans, often doing a quick buck, looting everything, then hiding in the mountains and forests, where they could enjoy a peaceful and stable life.

The Vulture Bandits are the most vicious group around Auckland City.

The leader of the group, Vulture, was said to be a former detective, good at hiding, tracking and swordsmanship, and he was living a good life.
However, due to a mission, he found out the private affairs of a nobleman and was hunted down, so he had to flee everywhere. Finally, he found many hunters who could not survive outside the city of Oakland, formed a bandit group, and trained many good fighters.

He never provoked the caravans of the great nobles, and would never touch them, but he would not let any small or medium-sized caravans go if he came across them.

As for the caravans robbed by the Vulture Bandits, basically no one survived. It is no exaggeration to say that they killed people like crazy.

The police station has been offering a bounty for this man's head for a long time. The bounties have been rising one after another, but none of the bounty hunters who received the bounty have responded.

There was even a rumor that Black Jack was close to reaching the third level of transcendence. Of course, this was mostly false.

Count Raymond's guard captain Oliveira is only a third-level extraordinary person, that's not a cabbage!

Black Jack is just a robber. What qualifications does he have?
However, to be able to live this long, he must have some abilities, definitely level two, but I wonder to what extent his fighting spirit can reach?
There is no doubt that this is a tricky guy, but the reason why Ang mentioned him is because he got to know his whereabouts by chance.

The bandits looted and obtained a lot of goods, but except for those that could be used, most of them were actually useless.

What they have to do is to resell these goods and convert them into money.

The Vulture Bandits have reached a cooperation with the Bloody Hand Gang in Oakland City. One is robbing and the other is distributing, which complements each other.

Ang's Brotherhood actually has nothing to do with the Vulture Bandits. They just discovered some secrets while monitoring the Bloody Hand Gang.

The Brotherhood is not very powerful. The only thing worth mentioning is the little beggars all over the streets, who are their eyes and ears.

By chance, they discovered that the Blood Hand Gang had a warehouse along the wall in the east of the city.

There's nothing wrong with the warehouse, but how can shipments be far greater than purchases?
This made Ang cautious, and then he discovered that there was actually an underground passage there, connecting the city and the outside world, which could be used to transport some illegal items and avoid city gate inspections and taxation.

Some of these goods were provided by the Vulture Bandits.

Their specific transaction time is not fixed. After all, it is hard to say how much they will gain each time. However, they will always make an agreement in advance and then make the transaction outside the city.

Every time, Vulture Black Jack would be present, and Bloody Hand Bode would also go in person from the Bloody Hand Gang.

As for more specific details, such as what price to buy stolen goods, how to pay the money, how to check and transport them, etc., Ang was not very clear.

But this information was enough. Luo Yi immediately decided to use Black Jack as his whetstone.

If it were before, Luo Yi would still be a little wary.

But now, with Oliveira, he can't be said to have no taboos, but he can kill a robber outside the city if he wants.

Of course, he would make every possible preparation.

Therefore, he asked Ang to continue the investigation and collect more and more comprehensive information.

Ang received the mission and left. It can be imagined that he was very busy in the past few days.

As for Luo Yi, he still maintained the same rhythm as before, but his training had changed to focus on sword training and building up strength, with the breathing method only used to maintain the state.

He was adjusting his body and mind bit by bit, striving to reach his peak condition in this battle.

As time went by, news about Ang continued to come in.

It was mainly from the Blood Hand Gang. He had figured out the route for selling stolen goods, including where to pick up the goods, which shops to distribute them to, which roads to take, and what the prices were.

Ang is familiar with this route.

Then, even the stolen goods outside the city were not from the same bandit group, and the details of the transactions were different.

However, only the Vulture Bandits and the Blood Hand Gang take it seriously.

But not all bandit groups can allow Bloody Bode to personally handle every transaction.

Because both of them have to be there, the problem arises. Someone has to pass the message and agree on the time and place for every transaction.

And the man's behavior patterns were also mastered by Ang.

So, just wait quietly.

And this wait lasted for three days!

Three days later, in the evening, Ang came running to report the news, and it had been confirmed.

Luo Yi was straightforward. He picked up the silver angel sword, put on a piece of leather armor, and led Oliveira out.
