The West District, also known as Syndicate, was once the largest heterocrystalline mining area. However, after the explosion in the Inland Sea, the mining industry in the West District withered. It gradually turned into a paradise for gangsters and a lawless place in Dis City. For nearly twenty years, Over time - punching the FAC and kicking the General Security Bureau, Night City has become a city where everyone shakes their head when they look at it, and Gothamites shed tears when they come.
In the end, the city council was forced to sign the "Western District Public Security Management Ordinance", which gave the syndicate gangs a considerable degree of extra-legal autonomy in order to alleviate the many social problems caused by the syndicates.
To put it bluntly, the gangs are the rulers of the Syndicate, and the Dis authorities cannot interfere with the rules they set in the Syndicate.
Now, Kyle was sitting in the patrol car that had been reinforced several times, still sitting in the passenger seat. The driver beside him was his FAC team leader.
"Wayne, I heard that you applied to come to the Syndicate in advance. Can you tell me why?"
boom!
A wine bottle hit the front window of the car, and the remaining wine inside splashed all over the windshield. The captain of the FAC team rolled down the window and fired directly at the guy who threw the bottle. The street gangster had no time to dodge and fell directly on his back.
After turning on the wiper, Kyle looked at the wiper making a clicking sound on the glass in front of him and fell into a certain silence.
"Oh, this is the Syndicate. We usually don't interfere in the internal affairs of the gangs, and the gangs generally don't come to us for trouble. The newly generated pollutants and incarcerated people in the Syndicate are the ones we deal with. And just now Let those blind brats know that we at FAC are not to be trifled with, and it will be very troublesome if we are looked down upon in this hellish place."
"Um, so can I just shoot? Don't I need to write a report afterwards?"
"No need, who would want to see how I beat a syndicate gangster to death? By the way, you haven't answered my question at the beginning yet."
Kyle did not answer directly, but asked:
"Although the dangers of working in a syndicate are high, the pay is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Haha, it's not bad, and it's easy to get promoted. After all, your boss will be dismembered by a madman or a gangster killer one day. Boy - this is not a gold mining town, this is hell on earth. It's that simple. If your dream is to come here and make a fortune, I advise you to give up this idea quickly."
The FAC captain expressed dissatisfaction with Kyle's answer, but yesterday he saw that Kyle's skills were really good, which made him a little confused.
"Forget it, anyway, a support police officer like you will not be assigned to the exotic crystal stabilizer... In short, you will be a member of the 23rd rapid response team of the FAC stationed in the Syndicate, and I will be yours. My immediate superior, just call me Uncle Qi."
Uncle Qi...you weren't called Severn when you were young, right? It was Jack before, and now it's Severn. As a result, each of them behaves in a more ruthless style than Beria.
Just outrageous.
"So Uncle Qi, is there anything else I need to know about the Syndicate?"
Lao Qi touched his chin, then turned the steering wheel and approached a wall. The wall was covered with various graffiti. It looked more like gangster puppies leaning against each other than syndicated wall art. Taking up space by peeing everywhere.
"The first thing is to understand the four major gangs of the Syndicate - Carnivore, Yagyu Corporation, Gonzalez Family, All Souls Society. Guys other than their four gangs are basically their downline organizations or some It’s just rotten fish and shrimp.”
Lao Qi slowly drove the car into the carnivorous destination. Although there were no ignorant gangsters like before to cause trouble, there were a lot of real gangsters waiting on the roadside, looking at them. The tattoos on their shoulders are of two-headed dogs with scarlet eyes and dark fur. Their brutal and bloodthirsty desires are directly reflected in the tattoos.
"These guys are the Carnivores. A group of mad dogs who like to fight with other gangs all day long. Although they run a number of pharmacies and weapon shops on the surface, their source of funds still charges high protection fees. As a result, they are not responsible for protection at all. It’s just that those who don’t pay will be beaten to death.”
Then Lao Qi took Kyle to the site of Yagyu Co., Ltd. After arriving here, it was obviously different from other places in the syndicate. Yagyu's site seemed to be kept tidy, and the trash cans were not piled up like at Carnivore. It became a hill.
"These companies are all run by Yagyu. Their current leader is Kenichi Yagyu, the head of the Yagyu family, and these gangsters are idiots who like to pretend to be serious people the most among the four major gangs. Although the company looks like it is doing normal business. , but they are the Syndicate’s largest manufacturer of knives and are also responsible for the distribution of other types of weapons.”
There are many 'Entertainment Chess and Cards Halls', 'Pole Dancing Associations', 'Hunting Stress Relief Clubs' and other sensual places on Yagyu's territory. Basically, the security guards in front of the door all have a long knife on their waist and flash around their necks. His tattoo is two folding fans, one up and one down. Yagyu’s people are far different from the carnivorous eyes who just had a fierce face. Basically, these guys who look like neon people in the previous life always maintain a polite smile, but Kyle It was disgusting to watch.
After leaving Yagyu's territory, the patrol car quickly arrived at the intersection of Monterey Street, but it was blocked by gangs. Not only were there various roadblocks, but there were even two bunkers set up behind it.
"This street - is it another gangster?"
"That's right. This is the territory of the Gonzalez family, and their base is an old house on this street. And they belong to that kind of family-style gang, and the cadres are all Gonzalez's psychopaths. The funniest thing What’s more, the only son of the current head of the family gave up the family inheritance at the age of sixteen and went to work at the Syndicate’s Deadly Love Radio Station.”
External members of the Gonzalez family patrolled the streets, and their tattoos were more like pirates, because the members' shoulders were tattooed with a skull and two crossed matchlock muskets below.
It seems that the leader of this gang is indeed seriously ill.
Originally, Kyle thought he would go to the site of All Souls Association next, but after walking around Monterey Street, he went back to the FAC's location.
"Huh? Uncle Qi, isn't there still the All Souls Association?"
"The All Souls Association - they are just a group of losers and losers. They all join the gang in the sewers to keep warm. They even like to practice religion. Basically, they are brainless young people who want to join the gang and fight. We will not choose the All Souls Society. So they pose the least threat to us. However, as long as they are gangsters who have joined a gang, they are basically not good people, and we must not have any mercy towards them."
So, it seems that these are the four major gangsters of the Syndicate.
