Chapter: 5960
Leaf Chen heard this and couldn't help but hum a laugh.
In Lucas's view, he and Gustav were fundamentally incomparable.
But the actual situation was that Gustav was fundamentally incomparable to him.
Is it about money? Gustav's assets have two zeros behind them, and it may not be comparable to his own.
Is it about a team? With just a little bit of drug trafficking arms in front of the Dragon Hall, what does it even add up to?
And besides, he himself was not worthy of befriending a drug dealer, let alone right now when it's just for leverage.
However, Lucas' words also woke Leaf Chen up.
Although he had significant advantages in various aspects compared to Gustav, but currently in the Brouillier prison, Gustav was definitely looking down on him.
Or say, Gustav looked down on anyone here.
How to approach Gustav, it seems that he needs to think carefully about it.
Just as Leafchen was eating and thinking about his plan, he glanced over at Joseph and his subordinates in the second prison block, only to find that they were gathering more and more people, initially forming a group of around 10-20 people before growing to over 30. They seemed to be having some sort of meeting, with Joseph surrounded by his most trusted subordinates.
Leafchen was unaware of what they were plotting, so he used his spiritual energy to investigate further. He sensed that Joseph's right-hand man had taken out a few knives from his waist and passed them to the others, who then hid them in their sleeves. Joseph then whispered to his subordinates, "When the situation escalates, find the perfect opportunity and take down Gustav directly! Remember, only those with a stake in the heart will die instantly, and the rest should aim for the back of the head. This way, you can ensure that he is dead without fail."
Several subordinates nodded enthusiastically as they stored the knives away. One of them asked, "What about Gustav's underlings? Should we take care of them too?"
Joseph nodded coldly, saying, "Anyone who gets in your way will be taken down. After all, everyone here is already a lifelong prisoner and cannot be released. Killing one person is just as good as killing ten."
Leafchen was taken aback by Joseph's words. He had previously analyzed that Joseph was likely working for the Roscher family to cause trouble for Gustav and drain his vitality in prison. However, it seemed that Joseph was planning to take down Gustav directly.
Leafchen wondered in his heart whether there might be someone else behind this plot, someone with enough power to make Joseph ignore the Roscher family's interests. He suspected that this person might be a member of the Santex family.
Thinking carefully, from the perspective of the Santex family's current power holders, keeping Gustav alive in the North Federal Republic's hands is equivalent to putting a tight noose around their own necks. If they don't cooperate slightly, others within the family may think that Gustav doesn't care about his life, so Gustav being alive is an awkward existence for him.
If Gustav were to hang directly from the prison riots, this awkwardness would be wiped out, and whether it's the North Federal Republic government or the Roscher family, they would all lose their direct leverage over him.
Leafchen smiled slightly to himself, knowing the opportunity had arrived.
Then Leafchen asked him, "Has there been any trouble in this prison?"
"Of course," Lucas replied casually. "Trouble is just a normal occurrence here. The guards don't bother much, and they're like dog owners keeping a pack of hunting dogs in kennels, letting them fight and struggle as they please, only intervening when the show gets too hot, separating the fighting dogs, dragging out the dead ones, and whipping the living ones with fifty lashes."
Lucas asked Leafchen, "Why ask about this all of a sudden?"
Leafchen looked over at Joseph's side, seeing Joseph's subordinates start to disperse from various directions towards Gustav's location. He whispered, "I feel like they're going to cause trouble."
Lucas saw it coming and said, "Normal. Their goal is clear, so we'll just watch the show from a distance."
Leafchen smiled slightly again, put down his chopsticks, and laughed, "Watching from a distance has no meaning; I'm someone who likes to join in on the fun." JrNovels.com
