nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 10

Nilta stared dumbfoundedly at Tao Xi, who was sitting across from him and devoured it, and didn't know what to say, but Nilta was very wise not to talk to Tao Xi again, because Tao Xi's eating was really exaggerated.

Tao Xi first wiped out the lettuce, bread, and jam of the hot dog in one bite, then held the sausage in his hand with an expression of enjoyment and began to eat it with great enjoyment~
"If I were you, I would definitely beg Bolton to give me a job tomorrow after he comes out of the confinement room. Recently, the Blood Gang has built up a lot of territory in Koreatown!"

Tausi heard that Nierta wanted to confuse him again. Without further ado, Tao Xi stuffed his left hand into his trousers, took out 6 lottery tickets that had already been scratched from his pocket, and threw them at Neil. In front of the tower~
"I won the lottery! Thirty thousand dollars, I don't need money."

"Korea Town is a great place! And there are many beauties with the same skin color as yours. Maybe if you go there." Nilta was still trying to persuade Tao Xi with his words, but when Nilta Ta paused after hearing what Tao Xi said: "You just listen to me. Not me. What? Thirty thousand dollars!"

Nierta took a look at Tao Xi who was sitting opposite him and was licking his fingers with his tongue, with a calm look on his face~
Nierta picked up the six lottery tickets on the table with an expression as if he had eaten shit, and looked at them one by one. When he saw the number on the last one, it turned out to be [-] after the dollar~
Nierta's complexion changed again and again. She sat there without speaking for a long time~
"Although I am a criminal, you must know that since I dare to show you the lottery ticket, I must have my own confidence!"

After Tao Xi said this, he walked to the cashier and took out a piece of toilet paper to wipe his oily hands. Pointing to Nilta's brother who was standing at the cashier, he said, "And your brother obviously only wants to be with you. Just like an ordinary person, if you are short on money, you can take my lottery ticket and run out now."

Tao Xi didn't speak any more, but watched Nilta's fists under the table with his back turned to tighten and loosen, loosen and tighten~
After a while, Nilta got up and turned his back to Tao Xi and said, "I'll redeem your prize~"

After Nierta went out, Tao Xi said to his brother with a relaxed expression, "Very well, your brother is very smart, and he is willing to give you an ordinary life~"

Nelson stared dumbfounded at what happened in front of him~
Because it all happened so suddenly!
It was obviously his brother who was entertaining this child who was obviously not yet an adult at the beginning, but the child said that he had won $[-] just after eating the hot dog~
I haven't waited for him to receive the good news~
Nelson felt that a cold knife had been pressed against his neck. You must know that the height of the underage child was less than his shoulders!
Nelson looked down at the knife at the checkout counter that was usually used to cut ribbons for the take-out boxes, still shaking back and forth on the table~
Nelson tried his best to imitate his brother's appearance when he left, and took a deep breath, but the cold feeling behind his back still let him know that everything that happened in that short moment just now was not a dream!
"Hey, my name is Tao Xi, what's your name? Is your hot dog shop's business like this? It looks deserted."

Nelson looked at Taoxi, who looked like an outsider in the hot dog shop where he worked, and explained with a complicated expression: "This hot dog shop is not open 24 hours a day. I only open from [-] pm to [-] pm every day."

"Oh, that's pretty cool too, how long have you been working in this store?"

"It's been five years." Nelson first lowered his head and timidly put the knife used to cut ribbons in the drawer under the cash register, then looked again to see if there were any more dangerous things on the cash register. When Nelson saw When there was nothing, Nelson used his left hand to grab the clothes that had stuck to his back~
"Your brother is back! Get ready, come with me!" Tao Xi saw Nilta coming back with a black plastic bag through the glass door, and waved at Nilta shyly~
After Nilta entered the hot dog shop, she didn't speak, but put the black plastic bag in front of Taoxi with a gloomy expression.

Tao Xi didn't mind Nilta showing his face to him, but instead buried his cheeks in the black plastic bag shyly, and sniffed the smell of dollar bills inside~
"Let's go! Take your brother and go out with me!" Tao Xi casually found a box for packing takeout in Bob's Hot Dog Shop, put a black plastic bag in it, and looked at Neil nonchalantly. Said the brothers Ta and Nelson.

But Nilta stopped Nelson, who was about to leave behind Tao Xi's butt, and said hoarsely: "I have paid the tax, 4500 US dollars, and there is still 25500 US dollars left."

"Let you two go with me, why are you moaning like a woman." Tao Xi said without looking back while holding the box in his arms.

Nilta turned his head and glanced at his younger brother, sighed with depression on his face, and followed Tao Xi's buttocks.

The location of Bob's hot dog shop is actually not very good in the American-Australian community, because the location is relatively remote, so it is not a problem for the owner named Bob to adopt such business hours.

This is also the reason why Tao Xi encountered the "three hands" when he first walked on the street, but this time when Tao Xi followed two black guys with not so good-looking complexions, the passers-by around them bypassed them. A combination of three people.

At this time, Tao Xi was not in a hurry to go back to the sewer, but kept wandering in the nearby streets like a tourist. When Tao Xi saw a newsstand that had been closed for business, Tao Xi couldn't help showing a trace of it. happy.

Nelson was a little confused when he saw Tao Xi's action at first!

But when Nelson thought of the few questions Tao Xi asked him in the hot dog shop just now, Nelson's complexion revealed a hint of joy~
"Hey! Neilta called this number and asked this boss to come here." Tao Xi stepped on the takeaway box containing a huge sum of money and shouted at Brother Neil who was still some distance away from him~
As soon as Nelson heard Tao Xi say these words, he ran towards Tao Xi immediately~
But Nilta just stretched out his hand to stop his younger brother, but Nelson has already stood in front of Tao Xi with a happy face and respectful like a dog leg~
Seeing this scene, Nierta became a little angry!

Although Nilta was not drawn into the blood gang by Bolton in prison, but he had been a follower for that group of people for more than a year, and he didn't know that he was interested in the $[-] lottery ticket. The desire was discovered by Tao Xi!

If he guessed right, Tao Xi planned to let those diehard members of the Blood Gang in the American-Australian community teach them a lesson, and his younger brother foolishly helped Tao Xi count the money~
But Nelson, who was standing in front of Tao Xi, asked enthusiastically, "Is it true? Do you really want to rent this place? Can you let me be the store manager?"

Tao Xi glanced at Nelson and then at the gloomy Nilta not far away and sighed helplessly: "Why can't you be the boss? Your brother is very good. He has been thinking about you. He may think that this The phone is a secret number to contact the Blood Gang."

"My brother is an idiot!" Nelson had a restrained smile when he heard Tao Xi's first words. This time, Nelson couldn't hold back his smile. Nelson laughed directly in front of Tao Xi. Nelson seemed to feel Tausi wasn't like the group he knew, and Nelson added, "My brother's just a moron with a head full of gangsta dogma!"

"Looking for a public phone? If I remember correctly, go straight ahead and you will reach the Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza. There is also a Baoting there. It is an old man. You can use his public phone."

When Nelson heard this, before Tao Xi could react, Nelson disappeared at the end of the street.

Nilta saw his brother running so fast, he was terrified, but Tao Xi sat down on the takeaway box and began to habitually look down for the manhole cover~
After all, it was the first time for Tao Xi to return home with so much money. He had to go to the sewer in advance to feel safe!
Nelson stood on the corner of the street with his head down and didn't know what he was thinking about, but Tao Xi didn't care. He promised him to open a store for him at the beginning. It's impossible for Nilta to not care about things!

Treat people who work together like this, give him a big stick, and give him a sweet date~
After all, it was 30 US dollars today, and Tao Xi saw greed in Nilta's eyes. What if it was [-] US dollars in the future?
It's his, Tao Xi gave it to him, it's not his, if someone else dares to snatch it, Tao Xi dares to chop off his paw.

"Hey, bro, is it your brother who wants to rent my kiosk?" A very young-looking white man showed the tattoo on his arm, which looked like a gangster looking down at Tao sitting on the takeaway box West.

Tao Xi raised his head and glanced at the angry white man and couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Damn it! When did you get released!"

The Caucasian boy who had his hands in his pockets was quite arrogant when he looked down at Tao Xi, but when he saw Tao Xi's face, the Caucasian boy was suddenly stunned, even at the beginning he was very arrogant. His expression also disappeared~
"Tao Xi! You... why did you come here? I've already retreated~"

Tao Xi was also very surprised. He actually met another drug dealer who had served three years in Prison No. 86 in the American-Australian community.

And this guy named Anthony is not the same as Nilta. Anthony liked raper when he was young, so he joined the gang at the age of 16~
It's just that when Anthony went to prison, he was already 21 years old.

When he first entered the prison, Tao Xi had just taken over the "window foreign trade" of Prison No. 86. Tao Xi saw Anthony, who was almost 30 years old, standing opposite him at a loss, and he was also a little embarrassed: "Hey! Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I I just came here to accompany my friends to rent this kiosk and sell hot dogs in the kiosk by the way!"

After Tao Xi said this, he pointed to Nelson who was standing on the corner of the street, trying to make Anthony relax: "Hey, don't be nervous, I know you have rules. If you have been in prison, as long as you don't tell your accomplices, it only takes three to get out of prison." If you don't contact the gang, you will leave."

Anthony frowned at Nilta, who had been standing in the same place not far away, and didn't have the nerve to say hello~
"Anthony! Are you here to rent out the newsstand?" Tao Xi sat on the takeaway box and waved his hand in front of Anthony's face instead of getting up.

Anthony, who had been distracted, came to his senses and said with a look of wanting to leave but not daring to leave: "Yes, my child is sick and the family has no money. My father decided to sell this newsstand."

"Listen, I'm me, I don't have any business dealings with Uncle Bolton! OK?"

"Tell me, how many years do you have the right to contract for this newsstand, and how much money do you plan to transfer? Tell me, and I will give you the money!"

Anthony heard Tao Xi's impatient tone, and even his absent-minded expression disappeared at the beginning. Anthony replied in a clean tone: "My child has pneumonia! You need to pay a deposit of 1000 US dollars first. If you pay me another 15000 US dollars for the final payment, this newsstand will be yours, and you will have 7 years of contracting rights!"

When Tao Xi heard the $16000, his face could not help but a trace of pain flashed across his face, but when Tao Xi thought of the coquettish operation that the sewers of the US-Australia Paper Industry were still discharging sewage into the sewers every day, Tao Xi glanced at it. Nilta, who was standing on the street corner with her head down, gritted her teeth and agreed, "$14000, I'll pay you in one lump sum!"

Anthony just wanted to stare at Tao Xi, but when Anthony thought of Tao Xi's identity, Anthony sighed helplessly and said in a low voice: "I really need money, my child is still at home now."

As soon as Tao Xi heard about Anthony, he knew that Anthony had misunderstood him as a member of a free-for-all gang. Without explaining, Tao Xi reached out and took out a thick wad of money from the box under his buttocks~
But Anthony instinctively avoided Tao Xi's gaze when he saw Tao Xi lowering his head to count the money, because in the blood gang, when someone with a higher status than you has money, you can't look directly at the other party~
If that person with a higher status than you sees greed or other small thoughts in your eyes, the other party has the right to kill you!
"Hey! Take the money! Remember to bring me the transfer contract, I'll wait for you here~"

Anthony lowered his head and looked at the banknotes in his hand that still smelled of ink with a suspicious face, and then looked up at Tao Xi, not knowing what to say for a long time~
"Hurry up and give me the transfer contract, and take the money away! Do you want those poor and crazy idiots to take away your child's life-saving money!"
