Chapter 66 Family: Marginal People (59)

A few minutes later, Gloria opened the door again, and a few guys walked in.

Johnson saw Stephen Ann. As a man with two stores in the commercial street, he was indeed qualified to come in on behalf of the residents of the commercial street.

But at this moment, he walked in with apprehension.

Stephen Ann's expression became even more interesting when he saw so many people in the room, and there were Mann and Jack with fierce looks.

With nervousness written all over his face, he approached Lin Wen tremblingly.

"Hello, I'm from the commercial street"

"Okay, I don't want to know your names." Lin Wen waved his hand, interrupting Stephen Ann's conversation.

"If you can come, you have seen what happened last night."

"Yes, yes, we have all seen how you treated the Valentino Gang and the Sixth Street Gang, thank you for saving ordinary people like us," Stephen Ann said.

Behind him, several other people nodded again and again, saying yes.

"Let me tell you, aren't you afraid that this is going out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth?" Lin Wen said amusedly,

"This street will be under my control from now on, but how can you guys be sure that I will get along better than the Sixth Street Gang?"

"."

There was cold sweat on Stephen Ann's forehead. He looked at Lin Wen nervously, and saw Lin Wen looking at him with a smile. After thinking about it, Stephen Ann mustered up his courage and said:
"I can feel it. You're not that kind of person. You and your son have been to my store. I noticed you. You may have forgotten, but I once said bad words to you."

"I can feel that you are different from the Sixth Street Gang, those bastards, they have forgotten the original intention of the gang formation." Stephen Ann said loudly.

"I also remember you, Mr. Lorant, you and Ms. Martinez ordered our takeaway a while ago, have you forgotten?" Beside Stephen Ann, a woman said hastily.

"David also helped me carry things, but he didn't ask for payment." Another person said.

Listening to their words, Lin Wen could only nod dumbfoundingly.

Well, at least I have lived in this street for a while. Santo Domingo is poor, and there are not many places to sell things. No matter how strong Lin Wen is, he still has to eat, and he cannot perform photosynthesis.Not to mention that Lin Wen still had to buy cigarettes frequently, so of course he had a lot of communication with these people.

Both Lin Wen and David are easy to get along with, so naturally, the neighbor relationship is considered good?
Except for a few words like "fucking, idiot, fuck your mother, order your mother's takeaway" that pop up occasionally, the relationship is pretty good.

Well, foul language is a specialty of Night City!
In a violent and depressive environment, swearing can become a way to vent emotions.

"Okay, but one yard counts for one yard. I don't intend to be considerate of you, so the protection fee is indispensable, but you don't have to worry, I. No, it's us." Lin Wen glanced at Mann and Jack.

Hearing Lin Wen's words, Mann raised his head and laughed, and Jack punched harder.

Became
Lin Wen is not against building a family!
However, Lin Wen really doesn't dislike forming a family. After all, Mann is a very good person, and Jack... There is also a guarantee of the game, and the good brother Jack is not barking.Therefore, if you form a family with these guys, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. Lin Wen is afraid of trouble, not the underworld.

And forming a family can change a lot of things.

In fact, Lin Wen didn't think about changing the world. He has already passed that age, the age at which he doesn't care about anything as soon as his blood hits his head. All he wants now is to live a good life.

But if you want to live a good life, you have to change some things.

So let's start now.

Lin Wen raised his head and said with a smile: "The protection fee we want will not be too high, and if we say protection, that is real protection. If you give the money, we will definitely handle the matter. Then, we will charge per head, one person "

"Gloria, how much do you think is better?" Lin Wen looked at Gloria. Gloria is very smart when it comes to business.

First stunned, then pointing to her face in surprise, Gloria said, "I can decide?"

"Of course, if I am the head of the family, then you are the deputy head of the family. Of course you have the right to decide." Lin Wen nodded.

On the side, the joyful Mann suddenly froze and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Alright, alright, the head of the family is here, and the deputy head is also here, so let's take him as a good big brother!

At this moment, Stephen Ann, Johnson and other Santo Domingo residents all looked at Gloria.

Conservation fees. How much will the new owners of this street charge for conservation fees?
Stephen Ann was even a little nervous. He opened two stores, one selling daily necessities and the other selling Chaomeng. They made a lot of money, which is why he was able to give several thousand euros in protection fees.

Gloria lowered her head, thinking seriously.

She understood Lin Wengang's eyes.

Well, charge according to the number of people.
Lin Wen didn't intend to accept it!
Yes. Is it okay to mean it?

"Are we going to accept ordinary people?" Gloria asked looking up.

"No, we only accept merchants." Lin Wen said.

Outside the door, someone was relieved to hear this.

The bastards of the Sixth Street Gang would accept even ordinary people, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were extortion.

"It's hard for people in Santo Domingo to make money, so Lin Wen, if you want to charge according to the number of people, then I think 70 euros per person would be more reasonable."

"Ah? 70 days?!" The woman beside Stephen Ann's eyes went blank, and she was about to pass out as soon as her body softened.

Johnson quickly supported her, and his eyes towards Gloria became unfriendly.

He didn't expect that Gloria, who always seemed kind and generous, would be such a greedy woman!

But Gloria immediately said speechlessly: "Hey, it's 70 a month! Martina, I was born and raised here, and I know very well what the income of the local people is. 70 a day, my God, what do you think? Am I a vampire?"

After hearing this, Stephen Ann was overjoyed and said loudly, "A person, only 70 a month?"

Gloria looked at Stephen Ann, of course she knew Stephen Ann, the famous "local tyrant" in this commercial street,
"Yes, you have two stores, and the number of employees is 7. If you count yourself, that's 8 people in total, so it's 560 euros per month. What do you think?"

"Of course, of course, I can give 600!" Stephen Ann nodded and said loudly.

"No, it's 560." Gloria said.

"Yes, yes, it's up to you."

Lin Wen looked at Gloria who had quickly adapted to the role of "deputy parent" from the side, shook his head, and said to Stephen Ann, "How about it, not many?"

"Of course! You guys have more conscience than the Sixth Street Gang!"

"Anyway, you can find out. To tell you the truth, one store of the Sixth Street Gang asked me for 3 Euros, and the other for [-]. Damn, they charged me [-] Euros for the protection fee a month alone! I only earn [-] credits a month, in short, they have been paying more and more diligently recently!"

"Johnson, your store. There are only you and Joanna, so it's 140 yuan per month. Do you agree?" Lin Wen looked at Johnson.

After hearing this, David immediately wanted to come out.

But Lucy stretched out her hand and grabbed David,
"Don't go there, David." Lucy shook her head at David.

To be honest, the protection fee is actually meaningless. There are at most dozens of merchants on this street. It’s not too much to collect in a month, and it’s time to catch up with a good task.
But Lin Wen had to pay a lot.

Thinking of this, Lucy was really speechless to David.

Why can't this kid even see this?
David froze for a moment, then nodded, Lucy's eyes made him a little speechless.

"Of course, but I hope you will really be different from the Sixth Street Gang." Johnson nodded.

Lin Wen smiled, "You can rest assured about this."

"Then, it's up to you and Johnson to clarify this matter with people outside. If you are willing, then hand over the money to Johnson."

Stephen Ann and Johnson nodded, and the proprietress of the restaurant also nodded vigorously. The store charges protection fees based on the number of people, not the profit and the size of the store, and only [-] yuan per person, which is great for her!

In her restaurant, she, her husband, and her brother, the three of them, only need to pay two hundred protection fees a month!

This was something she didn't even dare to think about before coming here!
You must know that the bastards of the Sixth Street Gang charged them 800 Euros!

"That." Stephen walked to the door, but turned around again.

"What, there is something else?" Lin Wen stopped taking out his cigarette.

Jack, who asked Lin Wen for a cigarette, also turned to look at Stephen Ann, and so did Mann, who was about to say that he wanted to be a big brother.

"What's the name of your gang? I have to write it on my store door. It's best, it's best to have an icon, so it will be more conspicuous." Stephen Ann said.

This is the rule of the road. There is a gang pattern in the store, which is telling some street bastards that this store is covered by someone. If you want to cause trouble here, you have to weigh yourself.

"name."

Lin Wen looked at Mann and the others, then at David, and finally, Lin Wen thought of himself.

The guys in this room are all a group of guys walking on the edge of life and death, just to live a good life.

The same is true for myself.

Is a person who has been walking on the edge
In the beginning, it was Lao Maozi who pulled him, and now Gloria pulled him.

Lin Wen smiled slightly, lit a cigarette, and said vaguely to Stephen, "Marginal people."

"We are, marginal people."

Today's updated word count is nearly 8000 words.

The following passage does not affect the word count charge, because I added it after it was released, which is the content that was modified after the chapter was sold.

Let me talk about it first. Regarding the rhythm issue you proposed, including the update issue, I am reading it. I will often read your comments and comments in this chapter.

In Chapter 59, some book friends feel that it is watery. I don’t quibble. If the writing is not interesting, it is not interesting. Self-reflection.

Then tell the story, this book is not written by Long Aotian. The reason why the protagonist is so perverted is because the world view of 2077 is a high-pressure tragedy. For example, no matter how strong V is, he is always surrounded by tragedy, and V is strong. Come and go is in Night City, but how big is this world.
I made the protagonist so strong so that you won't find it so abrupt when breaking this tragedy in the future, because he is strong, and of course being strong can break through!

But it's not just to kill indiscriminately just to get up.

There is a proposal to kill Heavy Hammer and Saburo right now, yes, it can be killed, if Lin Wen really wants to kill, then he will parachute to Tokyo and open Wushuang to kill indiscriminately. Does Arban dare to use a destructive weapon to blow up Tokyo?Of course not.

But, what is the meaning of killing it?To slay a dragon?But if you want to slay a dragon, you have to find a real dragon. Is Sanlang the biggest evil dragon?of course not.

Not to mention going to Saburo if you really do that, then my two hundred chapters will definitely be over.
My last book, Twin Cities, came at such a slow pace. In that book, I even wrote a lot of daily plots that had nothing to do with the main story, but now I’m really pushing the plot!
It is very important for Lin Wen to form his own team!
Moreover, I set Lin Wen's character as "too troublesome" and a guy with "PtSD", but in order to catch up with the progress in the latest chapters, I personally feel that Lin Wen's transformation is a bit abrupt. I originally wanted David to slow down. slow to change Lin Wen's mind
Anyway, I'll do my best.

Now the high order has exceeded 3000, depending on the situation, there should be no problem with the boutique after two days, I have to thank everyone for this, I will add another chapter for this, and now it is changed to 5/10
When it comes to updates, I try my best not to stretch my hips, but I have to emphasize - I update at night, at night, at night!

If you didn’t see it during the day, it’s not that I didn’t update it, it’s that I was doing something, Mirasan!
