Chapter 9: The Treasure Fight
Verse 2:negotiate
Man who arranges fate deals the cards, and man who accepts fate draws them.
The 7 of Hearts, August and his younger brother Augustine, the 6 of Hearts have the hearts family backing them up, so that they put all the gangs near the Mexican border under their banner. Their drug business also grows bigger and bigger, and they almost monopolise the drug market along the entire Mexican border. The K of Hearts has given the brothers a lot of resources to support the two, especially August, who has a great deal of resourcefulness and determination to make this line of drug trading bringing huge profits to the family. The motorcycle-loving August also brings up a large group of bikies loyal to him along the border to maintain his transport line.
Inside a factory on the Mexican border, a fat man covered in blood was kneeling on an open ground surrounded by building rubble. Three heavy tyres were put on his body, a grenade was stuffed in his mouth, the upper two foretooth in his mouth had been pulled out, and the space of the missing tooth was holding right up the safety lever of the grenade, so that as soon as he let go of his mouth, the grenade would roll down. To make this more exciting, August also ordered Leo, the black panther he raised up, to pounce and bite. The fat man panicked by the black panther almost shouted out, but then he subconsciously bit the grenade tighter, with tears, sweat, and urine flowing down the crotch of his trousers. August given this game a name, "fried onion". The fat man could no longer hold up under the panther's non-stop pouncing, and the grenade fell from his mouth. Saw the grenade rolling down on the ground, the panther immediately turned around and ran far away, obviously it has been specially trained for this. Only after the panther went away, the fat man was able to react and desperately rolled to the far distance, but he was caught by the tyres on his body and unable to get up and run. The grenade exploded with a loud bang, the impact of the explosion blasted him along the tyres into the ruins and then bounced back. Fragments instantly cut up the fat man's buttocks and thighs, and he wailed on the ground in pain. wails on the ground in pain. On the upper floor of the factory, August sat on the sofa and watched the scene through the floor-to-ceiling glass and leaned back to smoke a cigar as a matter of course. The black panther had already run up to him and lay down obediently on his side. August stroked its head and said soothingly, "Good boy, Leo."
One of his men came over and handed him a mobile phone, and August was informed that the Diamonds and Spades had rolled out.
Putting the phone down, he said to the man, "How many people can we gather now?"
The man replied, "A dozen men went to escort a shipment, there are about twenty people left here."
"Gather everyone and take heavy weapons. Tell them to set out quickly and meet Augustine at this location." August handed the mobile phone labeling the map to his men.
Took off his red leather jacket and replaced it with a biker outfit, August mounted his modified heavy Harley-Davidson and gradually disappeared with more than 20 bikers into the night.
After meeting up with his brother Augustine they ran all the way to a small village to the south of the country ---- where Neil was searching for the gravestone.
The village has many unexpected visitors today, making the already sparsely populated village deathly silent. In the small village gathered the Spades, Diamonds and Hearts families, as well as the Neil family. Neil was sitting in the house of the family that had saved his life, and beside Neil stood a well-built Asian man. Archibald, the 8 of Spades, Vera from the diamonds and August representing the hearts were all sitting at a round table in the hut. In the centre of the table were four poker cards, while in front of Neil there were four envelopes, each containing a card.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, I think you have all come here for one thing. To be fair, you have four cards in front of you. Draw one for yourselves and open the matching envelope, there will be a note with a coordinate inside. According to the coordinate you may find everything you are looking for. Good luck to you all." Neil said slowly.
"Why bother to choose, I'm thinking of taking all four!" Augustine said arrogantly.
"You didn't bring enough people, it's only fair to you." Vera sarcastically replied.
"I have a thicker snake that will bring you to your knees begging for mercy!" Augustine said with a vicious lecherous grin on his face.
"How do we know if the coordinates are actually hiding treasure?" Archibald asked.
"You'll have to ask Saxon, he made these notes. You only have to choose for yourselves. Good luck." Neil smiled as he picked up his glass, shook it and drank it in one go before getting up to say goodbye.
"Once you have made your choices, the remaining one is for the club family." Neil turned his head back majestically and said, then slowly left the room.
The burly Asian man stayed behind and sat in Neil's seat saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please."
The camera frame pulls up through the rooftops rising quickly to an aerial perspective, there have long been numerous snipers and firing positions ambushed in various corners of the village as well as on the rooftops, all of them pointing their guns at the rest of the families in the village. The scent of death is slowly drifting in.
