The Mafia's attack on the Three Brothers Society went extremely smoothly. By the time the eight submachine gunners unleashed their barrage, they had already wiped out most of the enemy's fighting force.

This was largely thanks to Carter's extensive information network and his excellent reaction speed. Although two groups of Mafia members had been killed, he immediately assembled his men after receiving news of the Three Brothers Society and invited the boss to oversee the operation.

Then, with remarkable speed, they trapped all the Three Brothers Society's elite members at 15 Alec Street and launched their attack. Those eight grenades had essentially left everyone inside shell-shocked.

Number 15 was a broad storefront with huge display windows, but display windows could not stop bullets. Submachine guns were devastating in an environment like this.

The Three Brothers Society had also posted sentries outside, but once the eight grenade throwers finished throwing their grenades, they immediately drew their revolvers and fired at the lookouts.

Both sides exchanged gunfire. Despite the constant shooting, neither side suffered any casualties, as they all had cover.

The carriages arriving behind them served as cover while the members quickly disembarked and rushed into Number 15 to finish off the survivors.

Watching this, Xio remarked, "Their coordination looks even better than that of ordinary soldiers."

Raphael smiled. "Of course. Soldiers earn wages. These men get a cut."

Raphael had always been generous to his subordinates. Whenever their territory expanded, everyone from the leaders to the elite gang members benefited.

Moreover, Raphael had always paid close attention to matters such as compensation. Whether someone was injured or disabled, he paid a substantial sum. If someone died, he also looked after the deceased's family, at least finding a stable job for the man's wife or eldest son.

Such "benefits" were unheard
