At the headquarters of the Austrian Gang, Hardy and Bill met with Fred. Fred shook hands with both of them, feeling quite sentimental.
Before, Bill was just one of his underlings, a minor leader who didn't rank high. Hardy had only temporarily joined the Austrian Gang. Unexpectedly, within a few months, their statuses had rapidly risen. They had seized control of the Spanish gang's territory and business and were now on equal footing with him.
"Hardy, Bill, I didn't expect you to develop so fast. You quietly took over the Spanish gang's territory and business and established your own gang."
"We are all Mr. Sigel's subordinates and we are a family." Hardy smiled.
Fred smiled, "Yes, we are indeed a family. From now on, we will help each other and deal with the provocations of the Irish and Mexicans together."
"You called earlier to discuss something with me. What is it?" Fred asked.
The three of them sat down.
