In the middle of the night, outside the Parton Warehouse Company, a group of people with evil faces surrounded the place, and all the big names of the Irish gangs in the Lower Forest District of Gotham City appeared here one after another.

"Hello, Mr. Handy!" J.P. Dolan, who had secretly communicated with Rasti, saw old Handy's car coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

The gang's second deal, Old Handy, the elder Parton's deputy, stepped out of the car and said to Dolan, "Congratulations, I heard about it. ”

"Thank you!" J.P. Dolan shook hands with old Handy, and as he helped him close the car door, he said over and over again, "My dad would love to leave, you should really look at the mansion he bought in Palm Beach, right next to the golf course." ”

"Ahh Old Handy laughed and laughed at himself, and walked inside together as he greeted the others.

Dolan leaned over to old Handy and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what's going on today?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Rasti. Old Handy, as the deputy of Old Parton for many years, naturally knew more, and he said with some emotion: "Maybe it's the same as your father, the big boss has been thinking about retirement, and I only hope he can let Tommy take over." ”

A group of people walked into the warehouse as they spoke, and more people on the periphery were on guard in the dark shadows, if the warehouse was raided at this time, then it was very likely that the leaders of the entire Irish gangs in the Lower Forest District would be eliminated.

It wasn't until everyone was seated in the office and Irish whiskey and beer were on the table that Old Parton officially opened the meeting.

"Gentlemen, all I can say is that I am grateful for your retention. Old Parton took a deep breath and said to the crowd, "But I have made up my mind, there will come a day in everyone's life when they know that they should leave, and now is the time for me to be sure of that day." ”

"I'm so jealous of you, Joey. Old Handy looked at Old Parton and said with emotion: "I hope I can also have the courage and brain to withdraw in time." ”

"It's unfortunate that these days, Xicheng seems to have a lot of guts and brains. Old Paton's remark drew laughter from a dozen or so people present, and in the midst of the laughter, he continued: "Well, then, gentlemen, the territory will be divided in this way." JP, your father and I both agree that the Dolan family and the Handy family should jointly control the union. ”

JP put down the cigar in his hand, nodded at old Paton, and said, "My dad told me, Mr. Paton, we're going to do it." ”

After saying that, JP Dolan raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to the crowd, and everyone else raised their glasses at the same time, indicating that they had no opinion on it.

Old Parton then arranged, "And, Handy, of course, you and your organization will continue to control the West City, and all of our gambling and wagering operations will be in your hands. ”

Old Handy nodded seriously and said, "We'll continue to use your people too, Joey, you can tell them that." ”

Old Parton nodded, sighed, turned his head to look at the other person, and said in a deep voice: "Corgi, you still continue to take care of the loan sharks, and then the lottery will also be in your hands." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Patton. Corgi was a little surprised by Old Paton's arrangement, but he still nodded and said seriously: "It's the same for us here, and I will keep all your original people." ”

"That's good. After saying this, old Paton sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "But the most important thing is that from this day forward, none of you shall have anything to do with my son Rasti, or my brother Tom. ”

It was obvious that everyone was surprised by Old Paton's decision, and of course everyone knew something, after all, everyone knew what Rasti had done these days. It's just that Old Paton's decision is too decisive, even if everyone understands that he wants to give everyone an explanation before retiring, but such an explanation is too cruel for Rasti and Red.

Old Paton ignored the thoughts of the crowd, and he continued: "For me, from now on, I am a stranger to them. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Mr. Patton!" everyone who was doing it echoed in a deep voice, and old Patton was not worried about whether they were serious about whether they were serious about it, and without themselves, they would not want to have anyone else share this cake with them.

At this time, old Handy, who had confirmed that he had taken over the seat of Old Paton, raised the wine glass in his hand and said to everyone: "Okay, gentlemen, let's raise a glass to Joey Parton, the pride of heaven in the lower forest district of Gotham City, cheers." ”

"Cheers!" everyone in the room raised their glasses at the same time and drank them all.

Swallowing this somewhat bitter Irish whiskey, Old Parton looked at the wine glass in his hand and said with some emotion: "Bastard." ”

"Hahahaha......" These people here couldn't help but laugh, and they knew a lot about Old Paton's past. As an illegitimate son, Joey Parton was able to inherit the inheritance from his father and carry it forward, and his courage and ability to carry it forward should not be underestimated. Again, because of his origins, he did not have a good relationship with his father, which is why Red was furious at the mention of their father.

Transferring all the rights, old Parton finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he called old Handy to his office, and he still had something to explain.

Old Handy shook the whiskey in his hand and asked in a deep voice at Paton, "Are you sure you really want to do this, you have made a lot of big business today?"

"I don't have a choice, Fimbar, you're the ones who do it. Old Parton took a light breath and continued, "Rasti and Thomas are not going to give up, you have to be careful,"

"Are you kidding?" said Old Handy, shaking the wine in his hand, squinting his eyes, "We've all done it with people who are more difficult than them." When we were younger, we used to have Leg, Cole, McLantern and their men, and we got it all done. We're sure we'll be able to handle Rasti and Tommy too, you don't have to worry about that. ”

Old Handy was killed with Old Paton when he was young, and as Old Paton's deputy in the past, he also collected three points, and now at this time, the same cold heart as Old Paton has finally been shown.

"We're a problem, aren't we?" said Old Paton, looking at the glass in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's the hardest problem to solve!" said old Handy, clenching his fists and waving them in the air, in a posture of striving forgiving.

Looking back on the past, Old Parton couldn't help but feel a little emotional, took a sip of wine, sighed, and said, "Then what good is this for us?"

Old Handy shrugged his shoulders lightly and chuckled, "We're still here, we've survived." ”

"Survival, that's the most important thing. Old Parton nodded approvingly, and continued, "We survived, and some didn't. ”

That's what makes people the age of old Paton different from young people like Rasti. In their opinion, the most important thing is to be able to survive in this city and live well, rather than risking their lives to fight, because it is easy to die.
