Chapter 49 Underworld
“Do I not know? Then why don’t you tell me what’s the deal with Windows Street? How complicated could it possibly be that I can’t resolve it?” Daniel was not just boasting; he genuinely believed he had the capability to deal with the matter. A mere Windows Street couldn’t be that dangerous, and if the issue involved fighting, Daniel felt confident–after all, he wasn’t afraid to throw a punch.
“The issue with Windows Street is tied to the underworld,” Brittany disclosed.
“The underworld?”
“Yes, the underworld! Mafias, gangsters, and the like. You can’t solve these problems with your mediocre medical skills or just luck. Even if we wanted to settle the matter with money or seek government
intervention, we haven’t been able to sort it out. The underworld has its own unique set of rules, and we
can only address it with their methods. To put it bluntly, it means we might need to resort to force!”
Brittany gave Daniel a disdainful look. “With your malnourished body, looking as thin as a monkey, you probably can’t even take down a guard dog. If you can’t beat a dog, you’d better not set foot near Windows Street. If you go there, there’s no way you’ll make it out alive!”
“Force? I think I’m quite strong; I’ve even trained in free–fighting some time ago. How about you take me
to Windows Street to see what this underworld is like?”
“Don’t you dare go! Neither of you!” Jessica quickly interjected, preventing them from taking any action. Brittany and Daniel were the people she trusted most, and she would not allow anything to happen to
them.
“Why can’t we o
can’t we go? Just because there’s a mafia presence near Windows Street? Estella is the land of the
free, and we can call 911!”
*911? Sure you can! If that could solve the problem, why do you think we’ve left that plot of land idle for three years? Didn’t Brittany just tell you? Matters involving the underworld can only be resolved by their ways, and the police won’t intervene!”
“The underworld’s way, which I guess you mean is fighting, right? I mentioned earlier that I’ve trained in free–fighting for a few months, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Daniel’s confidence made Brittany laugh.
“Heh,” she scoffed before asking, “Do you even know what trouble we’re dealing with at Windows Street?
Free–fighting? Do you think this is WWE? If you go to Windows Street, you won’t even enter the Black
Panther Club before they throw you out!”
“Black Panther Club? What’s that?”
“The owner of the Black Panther Club is Justin Mills, one of the top ten experts in the Delvin Hub Martial Club United. Black Panther Club is not only one of the earliest clubs to join, but it’s also one of the largest out of the eight major clubs in Delvin Hub, Every member there is a professional fighter!
After TMO acquired the land on Windows Street, we paid Justin the agreed compensation. According to
Chapte: 49 Underworld
the agreement, Black Panther Club was supposed to relocate Immediately. However, Justin took the money and refused to move. He demanded another ten billion in compensation if we wanted him to leave. Justin’s connections in Delvin Hub Martial Club United and the underworld mean he isn’t afraid of us. Even if we paid him ten billion, he’d still ask for more.”
“Delvin Hub Martial Club United?”
“You, a loser, probably have no clue about Delvin Hub Martial Club United, right? It is an alliance of all the martial clubs in Delvin Hub. If one club is in trouble, the rest will send reinforcements. Rumor has it that these so–called ‘clubs‘ are operated by gang members. And it’s precisely because of these connections that Justin can act with impunity. Anyone who dares cross Justin is effectively challenging the entire Delvin Hub Martial Club United!”
