Chapter: 4194

Someone immediately stood up and said: "Yes, Father! Look at all these helpless old men, women, and children in front of you. Please help them!"

The old priest trembled as he opened his mouth: "I... I've served the gang for many years... never encountered such a strange thing... really, is everyone gone?"

"Yes..." someone cried: "We counted it down, and all those in Vancouver are gone..."

"Oh, Mother Mary..." The old priest stuttered: "I... I'm really at a loss to think of which gang in Vancouver has this kind of power..."

Someone couldn't help but say: "Old priest, I'm afraid my son might meet with misfortune, so shouldn't we report it to the police instead... this matter, I'm afraid only the authorities can investigate thoroughly and give us an explanation!"

"BS!" The old priest was furious and almost stood up, passionately crying out: "I didn't report any of the five sons I had for the police, and you're worried about reporting your one missing son after just one night? Do you know what the most detestable thing in the world is to gangs? That's reporting to the police!"

The old priest's outburst left everyone with a sense of trepidation.

People didn't quite understand why the old priest was so sensitive about reporting to the police.

So, one woman cried and asked him: "Father... at this moment... what else can we do besides report it to the police?"

The old priest glared at her, asking: "Has your husband never told you that even if he's dead, he shouldn't seek help from the police? This is a basic principle known by every gang member!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman suddenly looked crestfallen and whispered: "He did say something like that... but... but..."

The old priest spoke coldly: "There's nothing that can't be done, you need to know that gangs have always been at odds with the police! Reporting gang business to the police is meaningless!"

"Vancouver's police have already put us gang members on their blacklists. As soon as a gang member gets injured, dies, or goes missing, the police won't take any action!"

"We've reached an understanding with the police, and we settle our own affairs within our own world. So you know that even if one of our group's members is killed while selling drugs on the street, we won't report it to the police! We'll just gather our brothers, avenge them, and then take out some compensation money for their wives and kids so they don't have to worry about their future."

He looked around at everyone, asking coldly: "If your husband, son, or brother is killed right now, do you hope the police will uphold justice for you? If that's the case, even if the police catch the killer, the most they'll do is sentence them to life imprisonment! But what's our Sicilian tradition? It's an eye for an eye, and blood for blood!"

If this were happening in China, such things would be impossible. However, in some places where gangs are mixed in Canada and America, it's exactly like what the old priest said.

The police will form a silent understanding with us, as long as we don't cause too much trouble. They generally won't intervene unless we get out of hand.

After all, there are many gangs here, and if the police start meddling in gang affairs, they'll disrupt the natural balance between gangs, leading to other gangs having opinions about the police, making it harder to coordinate in the future.

This means that everything else will be affected too, right?

Moreover, we gang members also detest people who use the police to resolve their problems.

In their eyes, since everyone is a gang member, regardless of whether they have grudges or not, they must always stand against the police. If someone has a problem, they'll definitely run to report it, which will stir up anger within our circle and lead to permanent expulsion from that world."

The old priest Ryan may have already retired from the gang life, but his five sons' deaths couldn't change his occupation as a gang member, so he wouldn't break his principles even now.

"So, he said with an air of absolute certainty: 'We must wait patiently for a bit longer! Let them come back or let their family appear!'"

Everyone looked at Old Priest Ryan, wondering what he meant by "family".

Old Priest Ryan spoke up: "This time, we lost over 800 people all at once. If they really had an accident, it's certain that they offended someone big. Based on my understanding of the gang, most of our business dealings can't possibly offend someone as powerful as this. Therefore, I strongly suspect that they got into trouble because they were doing something for their family." JrNovels.com
