Father Mavie

Chapter 522 Gangster (please subscribe!!!)
The tickets purchased by Levin and Helena are in the VIP seats, and the price is 1 gold pound. This amount of money is nothing in the eyes of the nobles, not to mention the provision of drinks, which really has a threshold position.
Above the VIP seats.

In addition to the VIP seats on the second floor, the north stand of the Ascot Royal Racecourse also has special seats that are independent of other seats. It is located on the third floor, which is specially prepared for members of the royal family, and only invited guests can enter there.

Ordinary nobles don't need to think about it. It is definitely not easy for people who can get in touch with the royal family, no matter what their status is.

Those who came to watch the game today include not only King Rhodes IV, but also his four sons. They came from Windsor Castle not far away. After participating in the game in the afternoon, they will go back to hold a private family dinner in the evening.
Levin and Helena walked among the crowd. There were too many people who came to watch the game. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people. You can see children selling goods holding boxes, prostitutes in revealing clothes trying to corset their waists, There are also some weird men with the brims of their hats lowered and sneaking through the crowd.

"What do these people do?" Levin asked as he looked at a man with one hand in his pocket and a little blood on the corner of his clothes as he walked by.

"They're gangsters charging for chalk."

Helena glanced at the passing man and said, "There are many gangsters in London, among which the famous Cray Gang controls the East End of London. Their leader is a pair of twin brothers, one named Ginard Cray and the other named Ronald Corey, specializes in violent attacks, collecting protection money, arms smuggling, murder, manipulation of prostitution, horse racing, etc. Every gang has its own territory, as long as you don’t provoke them, you’ll be fine.”

"Oh gangster."

Levin nodded, not paying much attention. After all, they are the church. If you want to talk about who has the biggest fist these years, it must be them, mere gangsters
Not on the table.

In a real fight, Levin could kill them all by himself.

When he was the Rose Phantom Thief, Levin didn't pay much attention to these gangsters. He was thinking about his next target every day, so how could he care about the gangsters?

The two parties have no conflict of interest or communication, and they do not know each other when they meet.

but
Levin was still a little curious: "This is the Royal Hippodrome, and the king came in person. They are so bold, dare to charge chalk fees here?"

"Behind every big gangster, there are nobles backing them." Helena looked around and whispered: "Charles has a gang organization called the White Gang, and its jurisdiction seems to be in Westminster, Central In that part of the district, there are some things that are not convenient for the nobles to come forward, so let these gangsters take action. Huh?"

Helena suddenly remembered something: "The Royal Racecourse is the territory of the Bai Gang, why would someone come here to collect chalk fees?"

Levin knows a little about chalk fees. To be precise, chalk fees are also a form of protection fees.

Under normal circumstances, in a large racecourse, in addition to the official betting offices, there are many informal horse betting brokers. These horse betting brokers offer higher odds, which belong to the periphery and want to gamble higher. Oddsmen would come to them to place bets on, and they also doubled as loan sharks, providing funds to desperate gamblers.

These gang members who are active in the racetrack are called 'horse betting brokers'.

The act of robbing them is called charging 'chalk fees'.

There are no electronic screens in this era, and you need to write chalk on the blackboard to know the odds. Robbing these horse dealers is called charging chalk fees. At the same time.
It also means provoking the owner of this territory.

Generally speaking, the phenomenon of charging chalk fees only occurs when two gangsters are in conflict.

The gangster who dared to go to the territory of the eldest prince Charles to collect chalk fees. The background is definitely not simple. No matter how you think about it, only the second prince Shukri or the third prince Andrew have such courage.

Levine didn't care about the open and secret fights between gangsters, and he didn't want to care about them. The only thing that alerted him was Helena's words:
"Some things are not convenient for the nobles to come forward, so let the gangsters take action"

You know, last night, Marvie rushed into other people's houses and taught Sir Sand Haines and the three of them a lesson.
Can they swallow it?
If you want to take revenge on Ma Wei, will you use the help of the gang?
Fortunately, Ma Wei used the identity of Russell Benjamin last night. Today he is Nicholas von Manstein.

I have to remind my brother when I look back. Levin thought to himself.

Churches with extraordinary powers, of course, are not afraid of ordinary gangsters, but if gangsters also possess extraordinary powers.
The situation is different.

Being cautious is what Mavi has been saying all the time, and there is nothing wrong with being vigilant against gangsters looking for revenge.

On the third floor, the royal seat.

Inside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, King Rhodes IV sat in a cigar chair, holding a cigar in one hand and a telescope in the other, looking at the horse farm below.

Looking down from the third floor, you can see the whole scene of the racecourse clearly - in theory, but people's eyesight is limited, it is impossible to see things hundreds of meters away like a falcon, so no matter how good the location is, Rhodes IV It is still necessary to use binoculars to see every move in the racecourse.

On both sides of Rhodes IV, four princes, Charles, Shukri, Andrew, and Arthur, were sitting. Besides them, there were several middle-aged men in formal attire who were not angry.

They are all members of the cabinet with prominent identities. They were invited by Rhodes IV to come here to watch the game.

"Didn't there be Duke Chevally's horse competing today?" Rhodes IV looked around the field, but did not see Freya: "Where did Duke Chevally go?"

"Someone saw her outside the racecourse just now." Second Prince Shukri replied, "She should be backstage right now."

"I am very optimistic about Black Billy, who was sent by the Duke of Chevalier."

Rhodes IV put down the binoculars and said: "Go and let her come over, the game is about to start."

"Yes."

The internal affairs officer turned and left. After ten minutes, he came back, and only a young man with brown hair and green eyes came back with him.

"His Majesty."

The internal affairs officer walked to Rhodes IV and whispered a few words.

"Nonsense!" Rhodes IV frowned and said, "A duchess actually went to the field in person to race horses with those professional jockeys? What if something happens? Call her back!"

Before the words were finished, deafening applause suddenly sounded from the audience. A famous jockey was already in place at the starting point of the track, and the race would officially start when the fence was opened after the gunshot.

It's too late to rush over now.

Rhodes IV picked up the binoculars and saw Freya at the end of the track. She was wearing a round helmet and a jockey outfit, riding on Black Billy's back, with her head held high and her black ponytail tied into a ponytail. Let the hair fall naturally.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Rhodes IV, couldn't help leaning forward, and their expressions became focused and serious.

It is not uncommon for a nobleman to play a game, but the duchess, who is still a widow, unexpectedly appeared on the stage without shy away from taboos. This situation can be described as unprecedented.

More importantly.
She was riding the black billy that fell her husband to death!

This is a fierce horse!
If the last bloodline of the Duke of Chevalier's family was ruined by Black Billy, how would Rhodes IV explain to other nobles?
Of course they are all out to mess around, of course there is no need to give anyone an explanation, but knowing that Black Billy is a fierce horse and letting the Duke himself play, the foreign nobles listened to it and thought that their Windsor royal family had something wrong with their brains!

boom!
A burst of smoke erupted from the starting gun, and the eight fences were opened at the same time. Amidst the cheers of the audience, the horses rushed into the track. This is a 8-meter track. Whoever reaches the finish line first wins. From the beginning, riding The teachers tried their best to improve their speed continuously.

Van Goer took the lead and rushed to the forefront, leading the other opponents by one and a half lengths, which can be called super fast.

Spicy Pony Girl ranked second, chasing after her, always keeping a safe distance from No.1, it seems that she still has strength to spare.

Black Billy.
fell to the last place.

This surprised Mavi a little.

He has seen the speed of Black Billy, which is definitely much faster than Van Gower. It stands to reason that it should have escaped other opponents and crossed the line long ago, but Freya seemed to be thinking about something, and kept holding on to it. Reins, refused to increase speed.

"It was so"

With a flash of thought, Ma Wei suddenly figured out that Billy Black won the championship is a certainty, the problem is that
How does it win.

Is it a one-rod race, leaving other opponents far behind in everyone's amazed eyes and rushing straight to the line, or pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be invincible, increasing the speed at the last moment and surpassing continuously, and winning with difficulty?
The former, the next time Billy Black participates in a competition, is there any opponent willing to compare with you, the gamblers will definitely put all their money on you, how will they make money then?
match-fixing?

If Black Billy had achieved an astonishing result in the last match, wouldn't he be recognized immediately in the fake match?

Only the latter.
It is a good strategy to catch big fish in the long run.
