Chapter 3524 Guessing the Intention
Xu Qiang is not stupid. Freeman is obviously targeting him, so he just leaves to avoid everyone looking at each other with dislike.
Last time, he did not kill Freeman's people. At this time, Xu Qiang regretted letting Freeman's deputy go and causing such a big trouble.
Even if he killed their people, it would be the same ending anyway. It would be worse at most. It's a pity that the matter has passed and there is no room for regret now.
This banquet was held to show Drake's strength. From now on, they will officially regard Drake as the boss of the mafia and hand over the tribute money directly to Drake.
Drake realized his ambition step by step from this place, so he chose the venue for the banquet here instead of the mafia base, also out of consideration for his own safety.
Although he has defeated Moro, it is inevitable that there will be people loyal to Moro. If he returns to that place and encounters danger, there will not be many people around him who can choose to trust.
The guests have all arrived, and it's time for Drake, the host, to show up. He changed into a suit, walked out of his room and came to the manor.
There are some round tables in the spacious manor, and the guests are sitting here chatting and tasting wine, but Xu Qiang can't get involved in the topic they are talking about.
"Drake has shown up. This man was the person in charge here a few days ago, and he has become the boss in a blink of an eye. His methods are really extraordinary."
Xu Qiang pointed at Drake and said, Duan Zhisheng's attention shifted back from the surrounding environment and stared at Xu Qiang.
"What did this Drake talk to you about before? I see so many guests, only you kid was invited by him alone."
"Guess."
Xu Qiang laughed, who is Duan Zhisheng, he is over 40 years old, what can be hidden from his eyes.
From Xu Qiang's face after he came back and Drake's character, it is easy to guess something, he said.
"It should be a topic related to interests. You rejected Drake, but Drake didn't make things difficult for you. If it were someone else, you would have already been in the belly of those lions."
"Your analysis is really accurate."
Duan Zhisheng is thoughtful. He was assigned by Xiao Yi to Xu Qiang. He is definitely not a good-for-nothing.
He had seen Xu Qiang's every move for a long time. After Xu Qiang came back and didn't say anything, he also guessed a general idea.
"In this case, Drake didn't dare to do anything to you, which means he had some concerns in his heart and had to let you come back."
Among the people Duan Zhisheng knows, only one person can make such people have concerns and has the ability to do so.
Xiao Yi...
He will definitely not be wrong. Drake's ability to investigate Xu Qiang's background is not a complicated matter. After thinking about this, Duan Zhisheng had the answer in his heart.
"I'm afraid this Drake is planning to take action on your gold mine, right?"
"This... you are really amazing. I didn't say anything after I came back, but you guessed it all. He really wanted to make a move on the gold mine and proposed a 50-50 split."
Duan Zhisheng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. From then on, the question of why this Drake invited Xu Qiang alone was answered.
Of course, this also made Duan Zhisheng understand that this Drake was really ambitious and actually had the idea of taking the gold mine. Then he said.
"I guess you kid brought up Xiao Yi's name, and finally this Drake had no choice but to give up this idea."
"At that time, Drake forced me to agree. I saw that the situation was not right, so I immediately changed my statement."
The owner of the gold mine is Xu Qiang. Xiao Yi said at the beginning that the income of the gold mine was all controlled by Xu Qiang, and it had nothing to do with Xiao Yi. He just helped Xu Qiang in the early stage.
Drake was aggressive just now, forcing Xu Qiang to agree to such conditions. Xu Qiang was no match for Drake. At the critical moment, he was quick-witted and immediately brought up Xiao Yi.
"You didn't see that when Drake heard the word Xiao Yi, his face changed immediately. He told me that it was just a joke. He is really shameless."
"Shameless for sure. Moro cultivated him carefully, but he took Moro's position in turn. What else can't this kind of person do?"
Duan Zhisheng figured out Drake and heard a piece of news just now. Combining the two, it is estimated that there will be a good show next.
"I just got the news that Moro was arrested and brought here. Today, this Moro will not escape death."
"What? Is this the boss of the mafia? It's over?"
"Heroes are in the era of the times. His time has passed. Watch and see. We will see this Moro today."
As Drake spoke, he stepped onto the stage. After calming down, his eyes were looking for two people.
Xu Qiang, Freeman.
As a veteran in the mercenary world, Freeman naturally sat in the front, looking energetic and high-spirited.
Wearing a medal on his chest, this was the honor Freeman had won when he was in the army, showing his identity, which was very different from others.
Xu Qiang and a middle-aged man sat at the back, just enough to hide him from the distance and angle.
Don’t underestimate this kind of person. He can defeat Freeman at the beginning. Once they are given time to develop, who knows what terrible things he will grow to in the future.
Freeman has been wary of Xu Qiang in his heart. If this kind of person is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble in the future.
“Welcome to my manor and attend this banquet. I think you should have heard that our previous boss was cowardly and afraid of death, and took back all the industries that were originally expanded.”
Next, Drake explained why he wanted to seize Moro’s position and put all the responsibility on Moro.
Saying that Moro is useless and can’t do big things, the entire mafia has already had serious dissatisfaction with his actions, coupled with the sluggish business.
At this time, Drake stood up to uphold justice for everyone, defeated Moro, and led the mafia again to a more distant future.
"There is endless wealth waiting for everyone to dig in this land. Now that I am the boss, I will continue to expand the arms business in the future. Once the gunfire sounds, there will be a lot of gold. Let's make money together."
Drake said this, and the people below applauded. They didn't ask whether Drake was sincere or just to cope with the occasion.
Anyone who dared not give him face here would probably die today. Besides, for these people, it didn't matter who they did business with.
