A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 31 31. Drug Lord Levi
  The Robbins family are among the invisible controllers of St. Francis.

They run the city's banks, casinos, red-light district and many other gray-area industries.

And, although it was not written in the information, Levi knew that they must also be the controllers of the wizarding world in this city.

The Santos Robbins in front of me is the evidence.

Fortunately, Santos meant no harm.

This guy seemed to be very interested in Siris, especially Kung Fu. He asked Levi many strange questions, such as how your dragon can fly, and how your Kung Fu can really make people pass through cracks in the wall. Has it passed...

Li Wei could only hesitate and be vague about this.

Bruce Lee has not yet been born, and foreigners' understanding of Siris is still at the primary stage. After exaggeration by reporters and writers, kung fu is described as similar to fighting spirit.

After a while, the maintenance of Levi's pistol was completed. A box of ammunition and maintenance fee totaled 1.5 Philippine dollars.

Levi quickly left the gun store.

"Huh--" He breathed a sigh of relief. The other person didn't seem to realize that he was a wizard, but it was still not easy to communicate friendly with a B-level monster.

I looked at the time and saw it was almost noon.

Li Wei planned to make preparations and go visit Mr. Hua.

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

A brand-new and shiny high-end Foday car drove into Chinatown, attracting the attention of the old men who were enjoying the cool weather and playing chess.

The car turned several corners and finally stopped in front of a two-story bungalow.

A boy in a neat dress got out of the car first and opened the back seat door politely.

Sitting inside was Levi. At this time, he was wearing a semi-formal navy coat and sunglasses. His hair was oiled and neatly combed, making him look like a dog.

He held the door and got out of the car, and rubbed the boy's head. It was Charlie Hank, the newsboy who sold fake newspapers and periodicals at the station. Levi gave him 30 Philippine dollars and pulled him over to strengthen him. scene.

There is no way, Li Wei can't go to Mr. Hua alone, can he?
  At this time, a gatekeeper in front of the two-story bungalow was attracted by this place. He was an old man in his fifties, wearing a long coat. When he saw Levi and Charlie walking towards this side, he hurriedly ran to the iron gate.

"Masters, may I ask who you are?"

Li Wei smiled and said: "My surname is Ji. I just came to Jinshan City these two days. I want to do some business here. I would like to pay a visit to Mr. Hua."

"A small gift is not a sign of respect, but it is just a way to make a fortune."

As soon as Levi signaled, Charlie took out a red envelope and handed it to the gatekeeper with both hands.

A green note was half exposed outside the red envelope. When the gatekeeper looked at it, he saw that it was a beautiful 25 Philippine dollars.

He immediately realized that with so much money in hand, the man in front of him must be a man who is not short of money!

The gatekeeper beamed with joy: "Boss Ji, you're welcome. It's such a big deal. Let's go and report it to Mr. Hua right away. I just don't know if Mr. Hua is free."

"It doesn't matter, just report it truthfully." Li Wei said, "Go ahead."

The janitor stepped back with a smile, and Charlie leaned close to Levi's ear curiously.

"Mr. Li, what do they do?"

"Call me Mr. Li here." Levi whispered, "Don't ask any other questions. You were hired by me to join in the fun. Do you understand?"

"Oh... understand." Charlie said.

"Very good." Levi nodded, "Did you remember everything I taught you?"

"I know." Levi breathed a sigh of relief. His plans are always dangerous, but as long as Charlie doesn't know anything, he won't be in much danger even if his identity is exposed.

……

The janitor went up to the second floor.

Mr. Hua has no plans today and is sitting in the office on the second floor listening to the radio.

The office is decorated in a Western style, with gorgeous decorative sofas and desk cabinets, but there is a yellowed Chinese painting hanging on the wall behind the desk.

The porter knocked gently three times.

"Who is it?" Mr. Hua asked casually just after listening to the cross talk.

"It's me. Two people came to the door. They said they were doing business and wanted to pay a visit to you, sir." The gatekeeper said.

"Oh? How are you?" Mr. Hua asked casually.

"He is a young man in his twenties, his surname is Ji. He is wearing a suit and has a servant in his teens. He is quite polite," the gatekeeper said.

"Haha..." Mr. Hua laughed and turned off the radio. "It's quite interesting. I just have nothing to do today. Let's bring them up."

"Okay." The gatekeeper stepped back.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door, and soon there was another knock on the door.

"Come in." Mr. Hua stood up and adjusted his clothes.

The door creaked open, and Levi outside the door saw an old man wearing a Chinese gown standing in the office. His eyes didn't move, and he looked this way.

Levi smiled, cupped his hands and stepped forward.

"Master Hua, I have admired you for a long time. Xiaosheng Ji Bochang, courtesy name Cheng Bo, is meeting you for the first time!"

"It turns out to be little brother Ji, no need to be polite." Mr. Hua also walked over with a smile.

"I brought you a small gift. You can't buy white wine in the United States. This is the 1889 Jinzhuang wine." Levi said, and Charlie stood behind him holding a beautifully wrapped paper bag.

High-end wine is not on the prohibited list of the prohibition, but it can only be purchased in specific stores. It is a very expensive gift. These two bottles alone cost Levi 50 Philippine dollars.

"Thank you very much." Mr. Hua glanced at the contents of the paper bag and said with a smile, "Old Wang, take this little brother and put down the wine."

The gatekeeper responded knowingly and pulled Charlie out of the room.

Only Li Wei and Mr. Hua were left in the office, and the sunlight poured in from the window.

Mr. Hua exchanged greetings with Li Wei for a few more words, then pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "Brother Ji is young and promising, but he just came to Jinshan City not long ago? Otherwise, how could I not have heard your name?" .”

"That's true." Li Wei had already thought of the words in his mind and said with a smile, "When Xiaosheng was a child, he and his father went to Xizhou to do business. The family's property was also in Xizhou. Business was not good during the World War. That’s why I came to the New World to look for opportunities.”

Mr. Hua nodded and believed these words. The person in front of him was so young and obviously a second generation. Many businessmen in Seris went to Xizhou to do business. After the war, the family was declining day by day. Those who were released to work hard like this were not counted. few.

"It is true that war in this world brings disaster to the country and the people." Mr. Hua sighed, and then asked, "I wonder what kind of business my little brother is doing?"

"I hope Mr. Hua won't publicize some things that are not on the table." Li Wei said with a smile.

"What can it be? Could it be that arms are not available?" Mr. Hua said with a smile. He had never seen anything, so how could he talk about it like a child?

"It's not as serious as arms." Li Wei also laughed, "Xiaosheng is in the business of buying and selling cigarettes."

　Sorry everyone... I'm a little busy at the moment...

　　It is still guaranteed to be updated twice a day, but the time cannot be fixed...
