Chapter 7 The Law of the Jungle, Don't Be a Lamb

The three-hour performance ended, and as time approached midnight, the crowd in the subway station gradually dispersed.

Leon's hands were full of crumpled bills, including one-dollar bills and even a few five-dollar bills.

A rough count turned out to be as much as $200, which was even higher than Bonnie's income as a pole dancer.

This was the first time he had seen so much money since he traveled through time. He ignored the sweat odor on the banknotes and inhaled greedily.

"I love this damn money!"

Li Ang was very happy to monetize his unexpected fame in this alternative way.

Although $200 is not a lot, it means that he can be self-reliant for a period of time and no longer have to endure Bonnie's unreasonable contempt and abuse.

"Leon!"

"Who?"

Li Ang suddenly became nervous when he heard someone calling his name in the dark subway station.

Given the security situation in Brownsville, $200 is enough to make someone want to rob someone.

"Davis?"

Davis' figure slowly walked down the stairs at the subway entrance, with his head down, looking quite lonely.

This made Leon even more nervous.

If they were robbers, they would be easy to deal with, after all, they are only after money.

At most, you can just hand over the $200 or so and consider it as a waste of the coconut crisps for the day.

But it's hard to say what crazy moves Davis will make.

This guy's dream had just been taken away from him.

"Fxxk!"

Li Ang subconsciously wanted to run away, but the subway station exit was blocked by Davis. Wouldn't running inside be cutting off his own escape route?
"Don't be nervous. I've figured out what you did to me."

"what?"

Leon looked at Davis. This guy had a serious face and didn't look like he was joking.

"You heard me right. I've figured it all out. That's your chance. Even if you didn't step up, T-ray wouldn't have taken a fancy to me."

When did this guy become so conscious?
Leon kept a safe distance and responded, "I didn't do it on purpose. I thought T-ray had left."

"Fuck, don't explain. We've been together for so long, I know it wasn't an accident!" Davis paused and continued, "But we're good friends. Friends are supposed to forgive and support each other."

If someone else heard these words, they might be deeply moved, but not Li Ang.

He even wanted to laugh a little.

The capitalist world is a jungle where only two kinds of creatures live.

One is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the other is a sheep trying hard to pretend to be a wolf.

Even though he thought so in his heart, Li Ang still responded with a relieved expression and a smile: "Man, I'm really happy that you think so. I..."

Davis waved his hand before he could finish his words. "Bro, I know you'll be very successful in the future. Brownsville can't hold you in this cage."

"If you become rich in the future, don't forget me."

These words were so heartfelt that they really touched Li Ang.

The Negotiable community has thousands of shortcomings, but one thing is worthy of praise: the wealthy black people never forget their relatives and friends in the community.

Even if they made money from drug trafficking, the gang members would not hesitate to take the people around them with them, and they would also pay attention to being in an orderly manner when going to the electric chair.

To calm him down, Li Ang repeatedly advised, "I will, buddy. I will."

Hearing this, Davis said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the subway entrance silently.

At this moment, the strange voice from before broke into Li Ang's mind again.

The Shameless Item, Cheat, has been weakened. Consecutive weakening of the same item will result in its permanent deletion. Inspiration will stop refreshing after losing the only item.

【Stay shameless! Good luck, scumbag! 】

"WTF?"

Li Ang was stunned on the spot. He hadn't made any entries yet this strange prompt popped up.

At present, he is still unclear about the specific method of adding entries, but there is no doubt that if he loses his only "cheater" attribute, he will return to the state of a cow and a horse again.

The next day, Li Ang got up very early. Today was the important day that T-ray had instructed him to have.

Not only will Blood Gang leader George be present at the recording session, but also some of his old friends, musicians who have been famous in New York for a long time.

T-ray's Escalade had been waiting in front of the shed for a long time. The fat man leaned on the car, smoking a cigar and whistling at the butt of a passing black girl.

"Are you ready, little Bai? Today is very important for you."

"I will give my best."

T-ray showed his big white teeth and laughed as he invited Li Ang into the car.

The recording studio is located on Chester Street, not far from T-ray's office.

From the pink and green sign outside, you might mistakenly think this is some cheap special place, but the equipment inside is all high-end.

These expensive devices show T-ray's former glory.

He made a fortune during the golden age of gangsta rap in the 90s, but gradually declined as gangsta rap declined in the new millennium.

The rap market is so small, and the two tycoons, Dre from the West Coast and JAY-Z from the East Coast, almost monopolize all the potential newcomers in the market.

The fact that he chose Li Ang's rock music is enough to show that he has surrendered to the market.

A black man wearing sunglasses was sitting on the sofa next to the mixing console, chatting and laughing with a middle-aged white man.

The black man was full of ferocity. There were two deep scars on his shiny black bald head, which looked like marks from a knife.

The white man always behaved elegantly, smiled, and was very gentle and easy-going.

The contrast between the two people's temperaments is so great that it makes people wonder whether they are from the same world.

"T-ray, is this the talented white boy you were talking about?" Nico with sunglasses greeted T-ray enthusiastically when he saw him stand up.

"Yes, this young man is Leon Smith."

The black man in sunglasses smiled disdainfully: "Apart from being able to survive in Brownsville as a white man, I don't see anything magical about him."

"Just wait and see!" T-ray shrugged and said to Leon beside him, "The one in front of you is Magnum George. You should have heard of this name."

Li Ang nodded and walked forward to shake hands with the Brownsville legend in a friendly manner.

Although he didn't know much about gangs, it was impossible to live in Brownsville without hearing the name of "Magnum" George.

In this violent neighborhood where the police don't bother to care, George's majesty is as sacred and inviolable as a king.

Today, Nico, who became famous in the 90s and once hung out on the streets with rap legend "Mr. Notorious" BIG, has become a gangster legend of his generation, and many rappers pay tribute to him in their works.

"You are the street coconut crispy guy, right? I've seen you on the Internet." The middle-aged white man who looked very elegant suddenly stood up and walked in front of Li Ang.

"Who is this"

"He's a big shot. Although we're old friends, it's no easy feat to invite him over. You'd better seize the opportunity and I'll introduce him to you."

Before T-ray could finish, the middle-aged white man interrupted him, "My name is Phil Bryan, the former general manager of Epic Records."

Epic record?

In Li Ang's impression, it was a big company that had produced superstars like Avril Lavigne.

Even though the identity of general manager is a thing of the past, this title is shocking enough for him.
