It didn't take long before the ground was full of people.
The least injured among them had several broken bones, and several of them were completely dead.
Zod walked directly to the bar inside the restaurant.
"Give me your best serving of BBQ you have here as well as some iced Coke. Use the largest glass so there is enough ice."
Zod has always missed Coke from Earth. Even when he tried to make it on Krypton, he couldn't copy the taste completely.
Of course, the bartender did not dare to refuse. Zod looked around to scan for a table to sit at but found all of them either broken or dirty. While the bartender sent the order to the chef in the back, Zod searched the gangster's pockets for money.
He's not very clear on the prices of everyday items and services in the U.S., not to mention this is a different time period than the one he had transmigrated from.
"Hurry up and clean a table." Zod said.
There is no way he will eat at those tables; he can only order that younger brother at the bar to clean up the table and stool with soap and water.
In this kind of place there is actually very little cleaning in the first place. The main reason is that even if it is done well the gangsters will still make a big mess and eventually they won't clean.
Zod enjoyed the Texas BBQ, feeling good, and then drank five gallons of iced Coke.
In addition, he also ate more than fifty pounds of various BBQ dishes alone and emptied half of the restaurants inventory by himself.
When he left the manager looked like his worldview had shattered.
Zod also found that he could eat a lot, but Kryptonians didn't need to. Sunbathing alone is enough to maintain energy consumption. If you expect to eat and drink like a Saiyan, it's enough to destroy the energy of the planet. Unless the stomach is a matter annihilator and can convert 100% of matter into energy.
After a full meal Zod began to ask about the local matters and news.
Only then did he know that the gang he killed, and disabled was a notorious gang called Scorpion. Although the names of the gangs sound very silly, the scorpion gang has many scary bases in Mexico and Texas. Their reputation can only be matched by their rival the Skeleton Gang who is supported by a bigshot from the American underground.
The two big gangs fight openly on the border and in both Mexico and Texas. They not only take taxes from people trying to enter the U.S. illegally, but they also conduct kidnapping, blackmailing, and trafficking tourists. There are even cases of human organ trafficking that alarmed the authorities in the United States.
But now the main business of the Scorpion Gang is to sell meth and cocaine, while the Skeleton Gang is mainly engaged in arms dealing. There are a lot of arms dealers in around the world that they have contact with.
This also makes the Skeleton Gang's weapons more advanced and fiercer than the Scorpion Gang's. The Scorpion Gang can barely fend off attacks from the Skeleton Gang.
Zod felt that the situation wasn't interesting and didn't want to go out of his way to take care of them. He was not someone who would go out of their way to murder the other. He would not kill anyone unless they threatened him.
After eating Zod did not go back immediately but began to wander around in this foreign town.
The members of the Scorpion gang who escaped and were severely beaten by him in the morning returned to their base and reported the situation to their boss. If it were just a beating it would be about losing face, however some of their members were killed so this was full-on revenge.
Although the headquarters of the Scorpion Gang is not in Texas like the Skeleton Gang, it doesn't mean they have no forces here.
More than fifty gunmen set out immediately to solve the guy who had beat them black and blue and threw the prestige of their gang out of the window.
Zod's actions couldn't hide from the eyes of their informants and it didn't take long for him to be blocked on the street.
The police in Texas don't care about the scorpion gang or can't handle them. After all, most of them are corrupt cops who collect dirty money from the scorpion gang.
Zod was standing there very surprised.
"Go to hell, bastard!!"
They did not plan to bring Zod back to torture him, killing him in the street is a better deterrent.
Then the gangster raised the muzzle of his rifle. Zod's super fast reflexes allowed him to see the opposite side raise the gun in slow-motion. After visually calculating the trajectory of the bullet he easily avoided while the other gangsters instinctively pulled the trigger.
Then a shocking scene happened, and Zod easily avoided their bullets and approached at high speed!
"Damn it!"
"Fuck!"
More than fifty gunmen were shocked, but even if they wanted to hit Zod, their movement speed and neural reflexes were too slow. After Zod approached at high speed he hit the guy in the lead with a punch. This punch made a shocking scene that would only be seen in movies.
The person who was hit was sent flying backwards and hit the people behind them again and again…
One punch directly knocked out more than half the gangsters!
This group of gangsters who love to simulate soldiers, they know the importance of a formation and standing together feel invincible.
And the first guy, because he took a direct punch his chest was caved in so much that you could fit a dictionary book inside.
Every step Zod would send the gang members flying.
After being approached by Zod they had no power to fight back. Even if they tried to follow his figure with their guns, they would only hit their own people if they fired. Instead, Zod used this opportunity to knock them all down.
In the end, the wailing gunmen laying on the ground and the remaining standing have nothing but fear left. Where did this monster pop up from?
Zod stepped on a guy who was crying.
"Take me to see the boss of your Scorpion Gang."
Zod looked down at him and spoke.
"Stop, it's the police!"
At this time, the corrupt cop who had been watching on the side ran out.
Just kidding, if the Scorpion Gang is wiped out, they will suffer too, and their money will be cut off.
Zod glanced at the corrupt policeman rushing out and directly left the area.
The best way to catch this big fish the gang leader is to cast a long line, so Zod decided to wait and see when the corrupt cop or gang members head back to the base to ask for help.
It's time to make an appearance after that.
As expected, after sending the gang members to the hospital, the Scorpion gang sent someone to check the situation so Zod followed this guy back to a factory of the Scorpion Gang at the Texas border.
This factory is one of the most important sources for their shipments. It can produce more than 30 tons of ice and powder each year. It is the largest production site of the Scorpion Gang. In addition to shipping to Texas and other states of the U.S. they also ship to the golden triangle in the east.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a route that is flowing with gold. At least two-thirds of the funds of the Scorpion Gang come from ice and powder trading.
