Chapter 118: Chapter 73 A Strange Letter
Translator: 549690339
What Leonard Churchill didn’t know was that a negotiation was taking place in the tavern across the street from Rose Tavern, where he was drinking.
“Hey, Abel, I’ve already given your Brotherhood a lot of face to sit here and negotiate. What do you mean by that?”
“Seven Brown, your people have crossed the line. I won’t say much, but those shops of yours should close. Stick to the rules we agreed on before and stop messing around.”
“Abel, you need to understand that it’s not us, Flood Gang, wanting to steal your business, it’s customers who want to come. The times have changed. Goods that were once smuggled can now be delivered in a lawful manner. No one wants your substandard goods, not even if you throw them down the sewer. Are you still hoping to sell them at a high price? People spend money because they want good products. It’s not like in the past where you could make money just by pointing a gun at someone’s head. Now, making money depends on one’s own abilities. Besides, we are not affecting your sales, are we?”
“Your few shops go about putting on opening ceremonies, having promotions, luring my customers to you! And you say it doesn’t affect me?”
“I’m losing my own money, what’s it got to do with you? I’m not even selling on your turf. If you think it’s not working for you, you can also offer a discount.” “Then there’s no point in talking anymore!”
At this point, suddenly a table was flipped over.
Downing Street is the most notorious block in Sinless City for shootouts.
The sound of gunfire is as constant as the music of a nightclub. A night without the sound of a few shots would seem strange.
As soon as the fight started, the security guards of the tavern very skillfully produced a pile of mechanical shields and built a shield wall at the entrance.
Instead of being scared, the bar guests enjoyed watching the fight next to the shield wall.
Leonard initially thought it was just an ordinary gunfight, but then he heard that it was between the “Flood Gang” and the “Brotherhood”, the two largest gangs in Sinless City.
Suddenly, he was interested.
He was seated near the door, and he had a good view of the situation outside.
The pedestrians in the street had already fled far away, and the two gangs were confronting each other on the street.
One group was mostly shirtless, with intimidating tattoos on their omni-exposed muscles;
The other was a motorcycle gang, armed with all kinds of firearms.
It felt like a face-off between a traditional martial arts school and a motorcycle gang.
In a blink of an eye, the stand-off between the two groups had amassed hundreds of people, ready for a massive shootout.

Leonard frowned.
This kind of commotion is best not to be watched.
Only regular bullets can be blocked by mechanical shields. The current situation doesn’t feel like a small skirmish, and regular shields don’t offer any sense of security.
But looking at the moto gang’s female leader in black leather, he couldn’t help but feel that she seemed familiar.
Although she was wearing a mechanical helmet, he vaguely felt that it was the same “Seven Brown” who directed him to the black market?
Seeing this, Sister Bonny, who was at his side, laughed: “They won’t really start a fight.”
Leonard curiously asked, “Oh?”
As an information merchant, Sister Bonny said directly: “On one side is Elder Miss of Flood Gang and on the other is ‘The Fist King’ Abel, the seventh leader of the Brotherhood. If these two actually start fighting, it would instantly bring chaos to Sinless City. They probably just failed at a recent business negotiation and have no place to vent their frustrations, so they just flipped some tables to let it off.”
After hearing Elder Miss of the Flood Gang identified, Leonard was almost certain that the woman in leather was “Seven Brown”.
He wondered why the owner of the “Silver Star Mysteries Shop” had sold him a top-quality product simply at the mention of a name. Turns out, it’s because she’s the Elder Miss of the biggest gang in Sinless City?
And there’s another coincidence.
Looking at the ‘Fist King’ Abel on the opposite side, Leonard suddenly felt confused: “I wonder if the sensitive source of the Golden Fragment the owner of the Silver Star shop spoke about was him?”
This guy was shirtless, his skin dark, and he sported a fierce tiger tattoo.
The black charm energy on his body overflowed like flames, but unlike other Second Tier card masters, it wasn’t attached to his body but separated by a “vacuum layer”.
Looking at the vacuum layer on Abel’s body, Leonard’s eyes slightly lifted: “Is this, by any chance, Gang Air?”
He himself knew a secret skill called the “Hard Air Skill”, so he was not unfamiliar with Air Skill Masters.
The clustering of overflowing charm energy into Gang Air is a high-level secret skill in air control.
This layer of Gang Air alone can easily block a Demon-breaking Bullet.
This is a real expert!
But which Leonard cared about was not this.
The only way to practice this “Gang Air” skill is to have a high proficiency level and a very high amount of charm energy which can allow a practitioner to form the vacuum layer. Theoretically, it is impossible to practice this skill as a Third Tier Air Skill Master or lower.
But Abel is just Second Tier.
And charm energy of different elements generally have distinct colors.
For example, the charm energy of fire elements is red, and that of water elements is blue…
But the black one either represents the charm energy of darkness, or it is like Leonard’s charm energy, a mixture of various elements.
Based on these two points alone, Leonard was certain that the guy was practicing the same Breathing Method as him, the incomplete Golden Breath Method!
At this, Leonard suddenly realized something: “Wait a second, he’s already a Second Tier card master, he should have more than just the six verses.”
Judging by his current practice speed, it would probably take only a few months to reach the six-level charm energy stage.
He had originally been worried about the missing parts of this exercise method, but now it seemed there might indeed be more to it?
However, this Abel did not look like an easy character to get along with at all.
If he went to ask for the secret technique, he’d probably get his brains bashed out on the spot.
It seems that it won’t be easy to get hold of the rest of this exercise method..
