Metropolis Power Structure

"Luther!"

Ba Di's lips curled up slightly. If he had hesitated before about taking the Drunkard in, now, because of his son, Ba Di felt he should take Drunkard in.

Lionel saw that Ba Di seemed to be in a good mood and thought that Batty had actually heard of him. He was immediately energized, refreshed, and felt like he was experiencing a second spring in his life.

"What situation does the boss want to know?" Lionel seized the opportunity and addressed him directly as "boss."

Ba Di turned his gaze away from the dilapidated wooden door and said, "Let's talk about the power in the Suicide Slum first."

Lionel coughed, smoothed his messy hair back, and despite his disheveled appearance, he looked quite serious.

"Although the Suicide Slum is chaotic and full of Lin Li, gang fights often occur, resulting in the deaths of some gang members."

"But in general, there are still certain rules here, otherwise ordinary people wouldn't live here."

"From Suicide Street, Death Alley, to Heaven-Piercing Avenue, almost every block has gang members."

"From large formal gangs with hundreds of members to small ones with only two or three people, they are all carrying out arms dealing, drug trafficking, murder and arson activities here under the guise of gangs."

As Lionel slowly recounted his story, Ba Di roughly sketched out the Metropolis location of the Suicide Slum as being like the anus of a human body, the place where waste is discharged.

All darkness resides here.

There are hundreds of Lin Li alone.

Brotherhood, Hand Chopping Society, Azure Dragon Gang, Giant Gang, Mafia, Vietnam Gang, Iron Blood War Banner Society, Angel Gang, Hell Society, Thirteen Covenants, Death Angel Gang, Hell's Angels Gang, Biker Gang, Satan Hell, Rose Blood, First Blood, Jack Gang, Dark Leader, Secret Organization, Twenty-One Warriors, God's Light, Jerusalem, Thunder Fury, Killer Covenant, Brother Alliance... and so on.

These gang names are all incredibly powerful, so powerful that even Ba Di can't look at them directly. There's even a gang Throwing Shit Gang that extorts protection money and throws excrement and urine at you 24/7 if you don't pay. It's just extremely bizarre.

Of course, many of these are actually liaison points for various organizations, such as assassin groups or organizations involved in shady dealings.

Among them, there are only about five organizations here that have some connection with the Metropolis center.

City Rule Society.

Ninety-Nine Names.

Gambino Mafia Branch.

Brotherhood.

Underground Trading Company.

"Of the five largest gangs in the Suicide Slum, only the Brotherhood developed from a local organization; the others all have support from Metropolis Central City."

Lionel spoke for a while, then suddenly felt a tickle in his throat and quickly poured himself a glass of water.

When I was pouring the water, I suddenly realized that I hadn't poured water for my eldest son yet, so I quickly took out my son's cleaner cup and poured a cup for Ba Di as well.

Ba Di didn't drink, but said, "Continue, the distribution of power in the Central City of Metropolis."

Lionel gulped down a mouthful of hot water, which trickled down his chin and onto his spiky mustache. He swallowed and continued.

"The underworld in Metropolis is basically divided among five forces, and no one can get a piece of the pie from them."

Lionel shook his head bitterly as he spoke, then rallied and said...

"The most dangerous organization in Metropolis is the 'Family,' a group created by upper-class individuals, nobles, and the wealthy to facilitate their operations and deal with shady gangs. It's also an organization used by these upper-class individuals to protect their property and personal safety. They have close ties with Metropolis councilors, the police, and even the military. While not deeply involved in organized crime, no one dares to mess with them. Their leader is Yada Edge of the Edge Family from Galaxy Media. The Underground Trading Company in the Suicide Slum is where they handle their dirty business."

"In addition, there is the Manheim Family's 'International Gang,' whose branch City Rule Society in the Suicide Slum."

"The Hui Er Family's Organization One Hundred, often referred to as the Criminal Organization One Hundred, has Ninety-Nine Names branches in the Suicide Slum."

"International Gang and Organization One Hundred are mortal enemies and frequently clash."

"The Gambino Mafia also holds a certain position in the Metropolis underworld. They are known for their ruthlessness, and no one wants to face such insane madmen. They originated from the Gambino Mafia in New York and have branches in various cities across the United States. The Metropolis branch is their 27th branch."

"The last one is the Scarlet Angels, a Biker Gang founded in California in 1948 with chapters in 15 countries. They grew their power by operating marijuana cultivation, arms dealing, and monopolizing strip clubs. They are one of the world's four major biker Biker Gang, characterized by their members having tattoos and riding Harley motorcycles."

In general, the Metropolis underworld is not as hostile to outsiders as Gotham's.

Gotham is a closed community; we operate within our own territory. If you try to intrude, the entire city of Gotham will gang up on you, beat you until your own mother won't recognize you. On the surface, the underworld will target you, but behind the Court of Owls will see it as an invasion of their territory and assassinate you.

Therefore, Gotham City, which messes things up in its own city, is relatively resistant to outsiders trying to occupy and claim space, while Metropolis, which is connected to the world, accepts all kinds of chaos from outsiders.

Of course, in the future, Metropolis will also come into contact with extraterrestrials and accept various forms of destruction and invasion from aliens.

In other words, if Ba Di wants to unify the Metropolis underworld, he only needs to deal with four gangs.

International Gang, Organization One Hundred, Gambino Mafia, Scarlet Angels.

Among them, the Gambino Mafia and the Scarlet Angels are cross-continental and international criminal organizations. Ba Di is very suspicious that if he takes down these organizations, by the time they send people to attack him, Ba Di will have already unified Metropolis and they will all die. If they anger Ba Di, they will come to kill him without leaving a single one. So, in fact, he doesn't take these two organizations seriously the most. They seem big, but he is the least able to support them.

Especially when they can fly, no amount of branches around the world can save them.

On the contrary, International Gang and Organization One Hundred, these deeply rooted local organizations, will hinder them.

As for the most powerful Family Gang, Ba Di didn't even take them seriously.

The "Family Gang" is not an organized crime group, but rather a means for a group of so-called nobles and wealthy people to protect themselves. As long as Ba Di uses his advanced knowledge to open dozens of companies and use capital to bring them down, their "Family" will naturally fall apart.

When they are the only 'Family' left, they will be more than willing to disband and cling to the coattails of the Ba Di, begging to be taken in and to avoid being targeted by capital.

Having learned all this, Ba Di continued to gently touch the palm of his left hand with his right thumb. He needed to unify the Suicide Slum as soon as possible and establish a biotechnology company in the Central City of the Metropolis. At the very least, he needed to create a 'Planet Destroyer' to assist him. If possible, in the future, he would gradually encroach on the cutting-edge scientific and technological research laboratories, also known as the Interstellar Laboratory.

A sharp glint flashed in Ba Di's eyes as he stood up from his chair.

"Lionel Luthor, gather some people you trust. Within a month, I will Suicide Slum, where only my orders will be obeyed."
