America? No, it's the warp!

To be honest, Eddie wanted to see the entire Crippled Gang collapse more than anyone else, but he also understood the principle of mutual dependence.

This time it was the Crippled Gang, but next time could it be my own Blood Gang?

Why couldn't he stand the streetwalkers under the window? He knew that many Seattle officials had a thing for them; otherwise, why would the Crippled Gang have set up a spot there?

This mayor is definitely planning something big, and the crippled gang just happened to walk right into his trap.

He glanced at his old comrade across from him, who was enjoying a cigar with his eyes closed. This homeless man, who had been worrying about the cold on the street just a week ago, had completely changed. His clothes, if laid out, made him look like either a big shot in the underworld or a rich young master.

This morning, at the police station's press conference, the mayor personally presented the certificate and medal. There has never been such an example before.

Those were just citizen heroes selected by the police department, not the best citizen provided by the city government. Theoretically, only the director of the police department needed to attend, but the mayor showed up in person.

Eddie had reason to suspect that the man opposite him had climbed the social ladder to the mayor's side, and that by pushing the cripples to the brink, he was doing the mayor's bidding.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized why the other party had been cooperating with him all along:

Use the Blood Gang's power to fight the Crippled Gang!

Once the Crippled Gang is taken down, the next one will definitely be the weakened Bloods, not any of the other gangs entrenched in Seattle.

Damn!

What should we do if we want the territory of the crippled gang but don't want them to be completely wiped out?

Logan didn't know why the other side was thinking for so long, assuming that they were weighing whether to choose a ceasefire or to continue.

The ceasefire has many benefits for Eddie.

But if we continue, the benefits will outweigh the risks, though the victory will be short-lived.

Neither option matters. The Blood Gang won't be of much use in dealing with the Crippled Gang anymore. They certainly wouldn't be willing to lead a group to capture Teren.

Once Teren is sent to prison, without any fanfare, these blacks will spontaneously rush to take over the Crippled Gang's territory, like vultures that have smelled decay.

Each booster point on the edge of the territory has the task of monitoring the crippled gang members.

In any case, the collapse of the Blood Gang will not be much later than that of the Crippled Gang.

Faced with those in power, these low-level gangs had no room to resist and no right to choose.

Eddie's expression suddenly changed; his tense demeanor relaxed.

"I don't plan to go against the Crippled Gang anymore. My cooperation with the police was initially limited to this robbery case. Now that the case is over, I'm even with the police."

"By the way, Logan, what are you thinking?"

Logan looked into his dark eyes and smiled:

"I've already received the money, why should I continue? This money is enough for me to no longer need to work."

After smiling as he saw Logan off, Eddie stared at the closed door for a long time until his underling, Lenny, came up to tell him that Logan had already driven away, and only then did he look away.

He stared at the roaring flames in the stove, reconsidered his choice, and was thankful that he hadn't fallen into a trap.

He chose the third path.

A path that allows them to acquire territory without causing the crippled gang to collapse too quickly.

He picked up the phone and called the newly added contact:

"Feed? What are you trying to do now?"

The tone on the other end was unfriendly.

"Relax, Teren, I have something very important to tell you."

"What could be more important than arranging for my men to evacuate from Vanguard Square and Bell Town?"

Teren's tone was full of sarcasm; at this point, there was nothing he could do but mock.

"Of course there is. According to reliable sources, the mayor is going to wipe out your entire crippled gang."

Eddie also didn't say what he had guessed. If he told the idiot opposite him that the mayor wanted to indiscriminately purge all the gangs, then both gangs would be on the brink of disaster.

His current advantages will be completely wiped out, so how can he make demands then?

Teren remained silent for a long time, piecing together all the information he had gathered before, and concluded that the news was highly credible.

While it's a given that Logan was apprehended quickly, the unprecedented level of cooperation from the police department was astonishing.

How did these scumbag cops, who routinely look down on all the working-class people in Seattle, suddenly become so close to a homeless man?

If the mayor is behind this, then everything makes sense.

However, he was still unaware of the purpose of his old rival on the other end of the phone.

"Why are you telling me this? Wouldn't it be better to just take my territory first and then let the police wipe us out?"

Eddie paused for a few seconds, and the other person repeated his previous thoughts. He covered up his embarrassment with laughter.

"Hahaha, don't joke around, Teren. Seattle is big enough to accommodate both of our gangs. I don't want the police to succeed and let those high and mighty people achieve their goals. It's better to join forces with my black brothers."

"So, you're planning to help us?"

"Yes, we can form an alliance to fight against the police's targeting. Of course, this won't be free, since I won the last round."

"Could you explain it more clearly?"

"Give me all the territory in Pioneer Square as before. I can give up the territory in Bell Town, but you have to allow our Blood Gang's enhancement point to be set up there. Moreover, enhancement drugs and street girls are a perfect match. People who take that stuff will be aroused."

After much deliberation, Teren realized that an alliance was exactly what he desperately needed. Some of his capable subordinates had been imprisoned, and the rest dared not make any moves due to police surveillance.

The entire crippled gang was like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the police.

If the Blood Gang, who were enemies in the past, can become allies at this time, it can reduce some of the pressure and share the remaining pressure.

Even the police department doesn't have the resources to deal with two gangs simultaneously, two deeply entrenched gangs in Seattle.

"Okay, I accept your conditions, but I have one more question."

"I know, you're talking about Logan."

"Yes, that's the homeless guy who put nearly 20 of my underlings in jail. I remember he was one of your men, right?"

Eddie was still somewhat shocked when he heard the number. It had only been four days since Logan released the photos, and he had managed to get so many cripples into the police station.

Moreover, judging from Teren's tone, these people were not the kind of street thugs you could just find anywhere on the street.

"No, he never joined the Blood Gang. In fact, I think he's one of the mayor's men. Otherwise, why would the police be so cooperative with him?"

"I think so too. Anyway, what should he do?"

Eddie's lips curled up; the other party had finally asked the question, something he had been waiting for a long time.

"My advice is that you'd better get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise you'll be the next one he throws in jail."

After hanging up the phone, Teren frowned. He took a phone from the drawer of his desk, flipped through the contacts, and found only one contact.

After pausing to think for more than ten seconds, he gave up on making that call and instead called someone else.
