Chapter 301 The Rats in the Sewer(2/2)

After taking the loaded pistol from Ya'an, Lawrence pressed the muzzle of the gun directly to the center of the strong man's forehead, and placed his index finger lightly on the trigger.

Sure enough, feeling the cold touch of the gun barrel, the robber calmed down instantly. He swallowed hard and gritted his teeth and said:

"I know the man you're talking about, Oga Kumas...I work for him."

Lawrence then raised the muzzle of the gun a few centimeters and said with a smile:

"Isn't it much simpler this way? Are you working for the King of Beggars?"

There was a sudden shock in the robber's eyes. You must know that in the underground world of Paris, the identity of the King of Beggars has always been a great secret.

Those who know the name Oga Koumas, almost no one knows that he is the King of Beggars, and conversely, those who know the King of Beggars, almost no one knows that the name of the gang leader is Oga Koumas.

He himself was able to know the true identity of the King of Beggars because he was considered a junior high-ranking member of the gang.

But the young man in front of him was able to reveal this secret that few people knew in a calm manner. The robber immediately became extremely fearful of this young man's identity.

Looking at the muzzle of the gun hanging above his head, the robber did not dare to hide anything and kept saying:

"Yes, yes, I serve the King of Beggars, Oga Kumas."

Grosso glanced at Lawrence in surprise: "Did you just know that this man works for the King of Beggars?"

"This large area of ​​the city is the territory of the King of Beggars. If he dares to blatantly do evil here, he must have a background. Okay, let him get up."

Lawrence said with a smile to Grosso, and then handed the pistol to Yan.

Grosso then got up from the robber's legs and pulled him up, but did not release his hands that were tied behind his back.

"Now, take me to see the King of Beggars. I can be considered an old friend of his. Don't play any more tricks."

Lawrence said coldly, and at the same time ordered Ya'an:

"Yan, put the gun on his waist and pull the trigger as soon as I give the order."

The robber felt the muzzle of the gun pressed against his waist, and his face became even more bitter. He gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed to Lawrence's request, then turned around and led the three Lawrence men in the opposite direction.

...

After another complicated walk, the robber stopped in front of an inconspicuous shack.

Even though it was already dark, there was still no light in this shack. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and no one had lived in it for many years. There was a large area of ​​scorched black on the outer wall of the house, as if it had been hit by a fire.

There were not many people coming and going around here, but the robber carefully looked around to make sure there was no one else before leading Lawrence and others into the shack.

The house was also in a mess, with all kinds of garbage dumped on the ground wantonly. There were even traces of a bonfire on the floor of the main living room. It seemed that this shack had been chosen as a temporary residence by many homeless people.

The robber came to a corner of the shed with ease and struggled to kick open the heavy wooden boxes placed there, revealing a trap door underneath, but it looked just like the entrance to the basement of an ordinary home.

The group of people arrived at the basement of the shack. The inside was almost as messy as the one above, and all valuable things had long been plundered by the wanderers coming and going.

The robber finally stopped in front of an empty, dusty locker, and then used all his strength to knock the locker aside with his body.

Hidden behind that ordinary wooden cabinet was a deep and winding tunnel.

Lawrence sniffed and smelled the smell of putrid water coming from the tunnel. It seemed that this tunnel led directly to the Paris sewers, and the lair of the King of Beggars was hidden somewhere in the sewers.

After passing through this dark tunnel, several people came directly to an empty stone cave.

Pitch darkness shrouded the underground palace, with only weak lights and dim candles illuminating the towering stone walls.

A damp smell filled the air, along with the smell of dirt and rot. Countless moss also grew in the damp and stinking air, covering the floors and walls here.

The cave is surrounded by intricate pipes and caves extending in all directions. It seems that there are thousands of ways to lead from the bustling world above to this underground maze full of crime and darkness.

Further inside, the central area of ​​the cave is a spacious hall.

Faint lights flickered on the four walls of the hall. These lights flickered uncertainly, like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

In the corner of the hall, an old iron stove is burning with a blazing flame, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold and humid world; this is also where gang members trade items, play cards and gamble, and the ground is covered with cigarette butts and discarded papers.

.

...

As soon as Lawrence and his party emerged from the hole in the ground, they heard a messy and heavy footsteps approaching quickly.

I saw a thin young man and a group of subordinates armed with swords coming quickly to surround the exit of the cave.

The thin young man at the head seemed to recognize the robber, but he was extremely wary of the Lawrence trio behind him. He personally held a flintlock gun, stared at the Lawrence trio carefully, and asked

:

"Old Wolf? Why are you back today? Who are these people behind you?!"

The gang members who followed him also pulled out daggers and daggers with ferocious looks, and their eyes when looking at Lawrence were full of vigilance and evil.

This is the headquarters of the King of Beggars, the palace of the Paris underground world. No outsider should be able to touch this place.

Seeing the thin young man, the robber's ashen face instantly regained some life, and he shouted excitedly:

"Chief! Help me, these people kidnapped and held me hostage, let me bring them here!"

After saying that, he did not forget to turn to Lawrence and gritted his teeth and threatened:

"Okay, boy, don't you want to see the King of Beggars? This is the one. If you know the truth, let me go quickly. There are hundreds of us in the entire sewer!"

Upon hearing the bandit's call for help, the dozen or so people surrounding the cave entrance were even more shocked. Then they tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands and slowly approached Lawrence and the others.

They simply couldn't believe that someone dared to go to the Beggar King's lair to cause trouble. This was not the way to seek death.

Lawrence chuckled and looked at the thin young man, confirming that he was the Oga Kumas he was looking for.

And looking at the gangsters who were approaching and looking fierce, Lawrence ordered without a care:

"Yan, let him go."

After receiving the order, Ya'an raised the muzzle of his gun without hesitation and pushed the robber in front of him out.

The robber who survived the robbery hurriedly ran to Oga Kumas and shouted in a tearful voice:

"Chief! These damn things are completely contemptuous of your authority. They even threatened me to reveal the location of the headquarters to them. They cannot be allowed to live!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The gang members also looked up at Oga with ferocious faces, indicating that they also supported the approach of not leaving anyone alive.

Although the robber is not a core member of the gang, he is still a prominent figure. If the news of his kidnapping and hostage spreads, where will the entire gang's face be? It is estimated that many people will be angry with the King of Beggars.

The dominance of the Paris underworld is called into question.

As the king of beggars, Oga Kumas did not give the order immediately. He looked at Lawrence cautiously, always feeling that this figure seemed familiar, so he took the initiative to put down the musket in his hand and said tentatively:

"Sir, I don't know who you are, but you kidnapped and held my subordinates hostage, and also broke into my territory without authorization. Such provocations are intolerable to us. If you don't have a suitable explanation... Then

Please leave your life here."

"As expected of a moderate member of the gang, his polite words are not like those of the beggar king in people's minds."

Lawrence smiled and shook his head, and took the initiative to walk to the center of the group of gangsters, allowing them to surround him with swords, and then said with a smile:

"But you are wrong about one thing, Mr. King of Beggars, you know who I am."

After saying that, Lawrence took the initiative to take off the hood on his head, revealing his delicate cheeks and brilliant blond hair.

"Do I need to remind you again? The last time we met was in the basement of a certain Duke."

Looking at Lawrence's face and hearing those familiar words, Oga Koumas was stunned for a moment. He didn't even hold the musket in his hand firmly, and just let the iron guy hit the ground heavily.

.

When the dozens of gang members saw the leader's dejected look, they immediately lost their composure. You must know that their leader had never been so out of his mind when he led the people to resist the attack of the Paris city defense troops a few months ago.

"Everyone!"

Oga Kumas suddenly came back to his senses, his brows full of panic, and he screamed:

"Put away all the weapons and scatter them aside!"

The gang members looked at Oga in bewilderment, and the robber's face was full of disbelief. They had no idea who could make the king of the underground world lose his temper like this, but they still put away their swords obediently and retreated.

Arrived to the side.

"You...you...you..."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Oga Koumas's forehead. He stared at Lawrence in confusion, unable to look away for a long time. His mouth was wide open, but he could not speak incoherently for a long time:

"You are...Bo..."

"Shh... You don't have to tell me my real name, it's enough for you to know."

Lawrence slowly stepped forward, put his index finger lightly on his lips and said:
