Howard nodded, then signaled his brothers to carry him away and find a place to teach him a lesson.
After his brothers carried the troublesome Charles away, Howard’s eyes flickered as he looked at Kaiden, hesitating to speak.
“If you want to say something, then say it. This time, when you received my call, you rushed over to help me. Why are you so shy?”
Actually, Kaiden knew what he wanted to say. However, since he did not say anything, then there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
It was just that he thought that since he was able to rush over so righteously this time, it would not be good for him to act too distant.
Howard, who had been unable to find an opportunity to speak all this while, finally had a flash of light in his dull eyes. He looked at Kaiden with slight excitement.

“There are too many people here and it’s not convenient for people to talk. There’s a small hotel in front. I wonder if little brother is free to discuss this with me?”
It was not that he did not want to talk here. It was mainly because of the recent incidents in the gang. It was too serious. There were people coming and going here. If someone with good intentions heard about it, it would be even more detrimental to the development of the gang.
“Okay.”
‘The two of them came to a small restaurant near the company. Howard waved his hand and directly asked for a private room in the restaurant.
Although it was called a private room, it was actually a small room that was separated by itself. After all, for this kind of small restaurant that belonged to the middle and low class, the people who came to eat here belonged to the ordinary working class. No one would ask for a private room alone.
If it were not for the limited conditions now, Howard would not have chosen to eat in such a simple and crude environment. After all, the person in front of him deserved better.
The shop owner handed over the usual greasy menu. Howard did not even look at it and directly said, “Bring out all of your signature dishes and two bottles of good wine. The best.”
He did not lack money, especially for this kind of small restaurant, the most expensive wine was only a few hundred dollars.
‘When the two of them came in and asked for a private room, the restaurant owner knew that there was a big deal today. Now that he saw the tattooed man take some medicine, all the signature dishes in the restaurant immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare.
Howard, who was sitting in his seat, was a little dispirited. “Little brother, don’t mind it. This is the closest restaurant. I’ll treat you to a good meal next time.”
“L don’t mind these things. It’s just that your current condition doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Kaiden raised his eyebrows and looked at him. A few days ago, he was in high spirits. Now, after only a few days, he had become so dispirited.
Presumably, he had been troubled by troubles recently!
“Are you really not planning to join our gang? Just as the military counselor said, as long as you join our gang, you can get the best treatment and a backer.”
Howard was somewhat unwilling to give up. He did not answer Kaiden’s question but instead asked a question in return.
After returning that day, Master Bruno finally told him the reason for inviting Kaiden. Only then did he wake up the person in his dreams with a single sentence and understand the reason behind it.
Towards experts, he also sincerely hoped that he could join their gang. However, if the other party was still unwilling, he would not blindly insist.
“Compared to those ethereal backers and backgrounds, I prefer to be free and unfettered.”
“However, has your gang encountered any trouble recently?”
Kaiden narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Although he did not mention anything about the gang, the sorrow between his brows had already revealed everything.
‘Asa person of considerable weight in the gang, other than that, he was light-hearted. Therefore, his troubles must have something to do with the gang.
He had a good relationship with the people in the gang, and the troubles he was feeling right now could only be caused by something that happened in the gang.
Howard wanted to test him and then decide whether to tell him or not, but he did not expect that the other party would have guessed it before he even opened his mouth.
‘As expected, a master was different. He could actually guess the whole story with just one or two sentences.
He sighed and slowly said, “You guessed right. There has indeed been some trouble in our gang recently.”
“The gang I belong to is called the Flying Eagle Gang. The boss of the gang was once a powerful hero. Later on, he relied on his own strength to establish the Flying Eagle Gang.”
“After the gang was established, our gang also had a few bars and nightclubs under its name to obtain funds to operate.”
Howard drank a mouthful of wine as he spoke, and a hint of indignation flashed across his eyes. Then, he continued, “You might not believe it if I tell you this, but up until now, our Flying Eagle Gang has never been involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs!”
“Oh?” Kaiden’s interest was piqued, and he listened attentively.
“Because our boss’ family was once persecuted by pornography, gambling, and drugs, after the establishment of the Flying Eagle Gang, our boss swore that no matter what, he would never be involved in these three things, and would not rely on them to make money.”
“Later on, our boss did it, and the Flying Eagle Gang developed better and better
“But as time passed, everything would change. The few elders who used to follow boss now have differences, and the conflict within the gang is becoming increasingly serious.”
‘The more Howard thought about how the gang leader’s body was becoming thinner and thinner, and how he had been tossing and turning all day because of these dirty things, the angrier he became.
The leader was once a hero and a man of honor. He was carefree and unrestrained, and he did not care about the details of his actions. He had never played around with these schemes and tricks, and these were the things that he disdained the most.
But now, in order to maintain the Flying Eagle Gang, he had no choice but to toss and turn every day. But even so, the Flying Eagle Gang was still going downhill.
After a few cups of strong wine, the burning sensation in his throat finally made Howard’s stifled heart feel a little better.
Kaiden remained silent and listened quietly.
Even though he was not involved in this matter, he could guess the chaotic situation of the Flying Eagle Gang based on what Howard had just said.
It was indeed eye-catching that an ambitious man of his generation had to play tricks with his brothers who had once fought together.
Knock, knock, knock!
‘There was a light knock on the door, and the wooden door of the private room was pushed open. The shop owner pushed the dining cart and placed the prepared dishes on the table one by one.
The small table was filled to the brim with dozens of dishes. A few of the dishes were stacked on top of each other, and finally, all the dishes were barely able to fit into the table.
The shop owner felt a little sorry for this.
“Usually, no one orders so many dishes at once, so there’s no need to prepare such a big table. I have to trouble the two bosses!”
The aged middle-aged man’s crow’s feet at the corner of his eyes were so deep that they could be stuffed with a few pieces of paper. At this moment, his dark skin was emitting a bright light, and the towel hanging around his neck was wet with sweat, emitting a faint sweat-sour smell.
Howard waved his hand, and then took out 200 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into the hands of the shop owner.
“Take the tip, don’t disturb us.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll leave now.. Enjoy!”
