Chapter 916: Chapter 781: Gaining a Foothold_4

A Mexican thug was toying with a dagger in his hand, greed flickering in his eyes.

Unlike the miserable Latin American refugees, these Eastern people who had somehow made it here after untold hardships mostly had substantial savings with them.

Now, figuring out how to extort money from them had become an industry of its own.

Even though they were shrewd enough to deposit their money in advance, there was always a way to slowly squeeze it out of them.

“First, let’s get all the money off them, then we’ll introduce them to a good place to go.”

Another Mexican with a nose ring picked up a flyer from the Umbrella Company at this moment.

Looking at the logo on the flyer, the Mexican’s eyes showed a trace of peculiarity, but it was quickly suppressed.

“Of course, even a piece of toilet paper has its use…”

Seeing that the speedboat had already arrived, several people were getting impatient.

However, as Tao Yu and his group disembarked first, several experienced gang members suddenly became wary.

Even when they saw Airi Suzuki’s somewhat provocative figure, they didn’t dare to stare; on the contrary, their faces were full of vigilance.

The weapons on these people made it clear that they were no pushovers.

“People from Matamoros?”

Tao Yu glanced at the men and cut straight to the chase with his question.

This was information he got from the crew.

They belonged to a major gang in Mexico, with a wide range of businesses, but apart from drugs, they were particularly fond of kidnapping.

Mexico is the second country in the world for the rate of kidnappings, only behind their trouble-laden cousin Colombia in Latin America.

“Yes, foreigner, although we don’t know where you come from, you have to follow our rules when you’re here.”

Seeing that Tao Yu knew their identities, the man with the nose ring’s courage started to swell.

Gang members must not show weakness!

Moreover, since the other party knew what was behind them, they weren’t foolish, and it would be bad to offend one’s own people on their own turf…

Bang~

Tao Yu casually fired a shot that took off the man’s earlobe, then holstered his gun amidst the man’s screams and asked his companion,

“I want to see your boss. Notify him to make arrangements…”

If this was New York City with its various departments and S.H.I.E.L.D., and the year was still uncertain, it would indeed be necessary to stabilize the situation first. But in Mexico, such a chaotic place,

it’s more convenient to adhere to the law of the jungle that favors the survival of the fittest.

Luckily, he belonged to the stronger side…

…

Leaning back in the executive chair in the office, Tao Yu propped his legs on the front desk.

In the office littered with bodies, he looked indifferently at the shivering Matamoros gang leader before him.

Minato Namikaze and his group stood like guardian deities beside Tao Yu, each person splattered with blood, adding an extra layer of grimness.

After notifying and liaising with his subordinates, the gang leader naturally made ‘full preparations’.

Also, Vincent, worrying about bumping into C.I.A. agents, did not think about shooting people randomly at first but instead decided to ‘lure them over’ and took the advantage of time, place, and people before starting to ask questions.

However, on their side, with their sharpshooters occupying all the advantageous positions, and with practically an ironclad defense,

before they could even ask anything, the opponents confirmed their identities and started to attack.

Their reaction and accuracy instantly resulted in headshots to everyone!

The few retaliatory bullets were straight-up ‘blocked’–it was unbelievable!

Could they be Super Soldiers?!

Or the mythical Ten Commandments Gang?

But before he had time to ponder, Tao Yu had already started making his demands,

“You should have a fair amount of influence here. I need you to arrange some things for me. Do well, and maybe you won’t get killed…”

…

“Aoi, this will be up to you and Inuzuka E, you’re the expert at this,”

After obtaining the new ‘official identity’ and setting up a phone card, Tao Yu, holding an old-fashioned flip phone, made arrangements for Aoi.

Back when they were in Takigakure Village in the EVA world, they also managed to secure their footing successfully with their solitary combat capabilities.

This was just a gang; leaving behind him and Inuzuka E should suffice.

Inuzuka E’s Towan has an innate advantage in avoiding sneak attacks.

Now in a place like this, if you want to quickly earn your first pot of gold, there’s nothing more convenient than feeding off other criminals.

Mexico truly is a transmigrator’s paradise.

“No problem, with Brother Inuzuka E’s help, we can definitely complete the consolidation. After all, we don’t need any money, the original profits can be distributed even more.”

Aoi had no objections to this arrangement.

“Right, just take care of it as you see fit. We don’t need to do much in the short term, try to arrange for some people to move more towards the north in the long run. If you encounter any superhuman forces, preservation of self is the priority.”

After all, the strength of Aoi and Inuzuka E now could at most be considered on par with Eagle Eye, maybe they could get some training at the Hand-to-hand Combat Association to adapt and regain some of their powers.

But at least right now, they are truly not strong.

If this wasn’t Mexico, a place like Hell’s Kitchen wouldn’t be easy to handle.

Since the main use is not for combat but simply to spread out for more eyes and ears, Mexico could be used as a main base.

Stuffing some related identity documents into his pocket, Tao Yu tossed the newspaper he had finished reading aside and gazed at the computer screen, momentarily lost in thought.
