Chapter 170 Chinatown and the Boston Gang

On his way out of the cemetery, Luca spent a total of 240 fragments to learn three skills, averaging 80 fragments per skill.

[Remaining Skill Fragments: 190]

[Guild Leader] increases trust among guild members, [Irish Man] increases trust among mafia members, and Luca, being of Sicilian descent, also receives an additional bonus.

As for the assassin skill "Painter," it can increase combat power and stealth when carrying out execution missions, and reduce residual clues and evidence when cleaning up crime scenes.

It's alright. Although Luca rarely kills people himself now, there will inevitably be special circumstances in the future, and he might need to use it someday.

After the funeral, Luca spent a week dealing with various miscellaneous matters in Detroit. By the time he finished and returned to New York, it was already early November.

The cooler weather did not dampen the lively atmosphere of the SSR Club.

The club has been open for over a year and its reputation has spread throughout New York. More and more people are signing up for memberships, and now the club alone can earn Luca hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Many new guests arrived, but some old guests left.

Following One-Eyed Al's departure from New York earlier this year, O-Ren Ishii is also preparing to leave, taking Zero and his group of ninja assassins back to Japan to organize a yakuza group, intending to seize power and unify the Tokyo underworld.

Luca personally went to the airport to see her off. Before parting, the two embraced, and Luca promised Ishii Oren that he would lend a helping hand when she needed it, just as she had helped him in New York.

New York, now without a group of assassins, appears outwardly unchanged, but the clandestine killings have not decreased; in fact, they have increased.
Denham has obtained a lot of intelligence about the Chinatown drug cartel and shared it with Luca.

At this moment, inside the SSR Club, Denham, David, and McLean, this iron triangle, have reunited. Their purpose is self-evident: to crack down on the drug cartel in Chinatown.

"Mr. Wei, whose full name is Wei Tailin, is currently the leader of the Dong'an Gang."

Denham handed Luca a photograph.

[Rare Card Discovered: Wei Tailin]

[Wei Tailin: B]

[Source: The Replacement Killer]

[Skill: Even a tiger won't eat its cubs]

[Bond: Strangers]

Upon seeing the photo, Luca asked curiously, "Does Wei Tailin have another son?"

Denham nodded: "That's right, his son is mainly in charge of the drug trafficking business."

McLean quipped, "This guy already has a grandson, who knows if that little brat will follow in his footsteps in the future."

Luca chuckled to himself, thinking that there was probably no chance. By the time the slick-haired assassin arrived in New York, he would have already wiped out the gang's top brass all by himself.

The incident stemmed from a police raid on Wei Tailin's drug trafficking activities, during which Wei Tailin's own son was shot and killed. Seeking revenge, Wei Tailin hired a man with a slicked-back hairstyle to abort the policeman's child, wanting him to experience the same pain he felt at losing a son.

As a result, the man with the slicked-back hair couldn't bring himself to hurt the little boy and disobeyed Wei Tailin's orders.

How could Wei Tailin tolerate this? He wanted to get rid of Big Back Hair as well.

What followed was a series of battles between assassins and gangs.
It sounds remarkably similar to Nightmare's story: an assassin wiping out a gang and crushing his way through.

Luca, however, had his own plans. He had just lost Ishii Oren, and now he had been given a rare high-level assassin card. Since Wei Tailin couldn't be kept, he might as well come and follow him.

Look how comfortable Ah Qiang's life is now!
I just don't know when the slicked-back haircut will arrive.

This might be an SSR card too.

Just as Luca was pondering this, McLean looked around and asked, "Where's Ah-Qiang? I was thinking of asking him for help with this. He's Chinese too, and he's more well-connected in Chinatown than we white people are."

Luca: "."

Are you really not afraid that Wei Tailin won't die fast enough by getting A-Qiang involved?

“Where do their drug routes come from?” “Boston,” Denham said. “We’ve found some traces of their transactions in Manhattan Harbor. Those speedboats carrying drugs came from Boston, and the source is drug lords in Boston.”

Denham then pulled out some more intelligence and documents.

Luca took a closer look and realized that this was the Irish gang from the original "Infernal Affairs" storyline.

That gang was indeed involved in drug trafficking, and in significant quantities.

Previously, New York's Blue Magic was sold outside the city, but now that the drug bust is over, New York's drug lords have to source their drugs from elsewhere.

David said helplessly, "We have contacted the police in Boston, but they are not very willing to talk to us. We don't have enough evidence at the moment, and we don't have a reasonable and compliant reason to intervene in Boston. If the source of the drug lords in Boston is not eliminated, even if we catch Wei Tailin, we will not be able to eradicate the drug cartel in Chinatown."

Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Luca smiled and said, "You want me to deal with the Boston mob?"

The three of them smiled in unison, and then launched into a barrage of flattery.

Denham: "Old Pigeon, no one is better at dealing with gangs than you! These small gangs are nothing to you, aren't they?"

David: "My son can talk now, and the first word he said was 'godfather'!"

McLean: "Old Pigeon! I'm planning to have a third child, and I'll call you Godfather then too."

Luca: "."

You want me to deal with the Boston mob? Well, if I get involved, I'll make Boston my own.
This is a promising opportunity, and it was originally part of Luca's plan.

Now, the police and the FBI are also helping, which inadvertently adds another layer of assistance to Luca.

Luca asked with a smile, "Are there any interesting sights in Boston?"

The three of them's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

That's settled.

Before personally heading to Boston, Luca sent Leon and his family brothers to Boston to gather intelligence, using gas stations and gasoline businesses as cover to infiltrate the city undetected.

In addition, Luca also asked Leon to secretly find someone—the SSR card of the Equalizer.

That guy used a false identity, lived a low-key life in Boston, and was extremely cautious in his actions. No one in his life knew that he had once been a top agent.

There is no way to find him through official channels.

His only weakness was that he was even more of a busybody than Luca, willing to wipe out a Russian gang for a prostitute he'd only met a few times—simply because the Russians beat the prostitute and treated her like a human being. He went to the prostitute's house to buy her freedom, only to be mocked and rejected.

Then, if Mommy Fucks, she'll have no choice but to go on a killing spree.

Now Luka is an ally of Russia.

Luca thought to himself that he couldn't afford to get into trouble, at least he couldn't become enemies with the petitioners. Being targeted by top-notch agents would make him sleep soundly no matter where he hid.

"This time, the Russians were also involved, and Night Demon was taken along too!"

Inside the office, Luca pasted photos onto the blackboard, his mind already conjuring up some unseen "plans."

After thinking for a long time, Luca picked up the phone and called Night Demon. He had just mentioned that he was going on a "business trip" to another city, and Night Demon, who was obsessed with love, was a little resistant.

It's fine in New York, but if we go to another city, wouldn't that mean a long-distance relationship?
John: "Luca, I was just about to ask you something. Helen and I haven't been doing too well lately. She was very resistant after watching the video of the Detroit apartment massacre, and I don't know whether I should tell her the truth or continue to hide my identity as a hitman."

After listening to Night Demon's endless worries, Luca sighed. He had just helped Frank and his daughter resolve their conflict, and now Night Demon's relationship was in trouble again.

Sicilians are naturally inclined to mediate family disputes among their brothers.

Luca calmly said, "Let's set a time. You two come to the club, and I'll talk to Helen."
