Chapter 839: Life Preserving Charm = Fatalizing Charm

  Chapter 822 – Life Preservation Charm = Fatal Charm

Falling down to the mortal world overnight was definitely too much for ordinary people to bear. At this moment, a large gang of disillusioned people converged in the Alpine Tarot Prison.

In front of the crisis, these well-dressed big shots were no better than ordinary people.

Even after entering the prison, many still did not accept reality. Noisy, angry, threatening, luring …… all kinds of strange tricks, all chalked up here.

Leo Cohen is an exception, quietly squatting in the corner, quietly watching the crowd perform.

As the richest wave of people in the Jewish community, and even in the world, Leo Cohen can be said to have seen a lot of things, and has experienced any big storm.

To be able to go all the way and defeat many competitors, in addition to being ruthless, he relied more on his keen judgment.

Before the outbreak of the Revolution in 1848, the capitalists were having their last hurrah, Leo Cohen sensed the danger and decisively chose to lurk.

Even the management of the family business, are hiding behind the remote control, hoarding after the incident, not waiting for the government to settle scores, Leo Cohen did not hesitate to cut off the tail to survive, launched the scapegoat, carried all the charges.

When the Vienna government settling scores, Leo Cohen even secretly submitted the evidence of the crimes of his peers.

It is by the downfall of peers, the market window of opportunity, Leo Kohn jumped up and became one of the largest retail wholesalers in Austria.

Then, in accordance with the modeling operation of capital, the company operated the listing of money to cash in, followed by the transition into the banking industry.

The usury industry to be exact, Leo Kohn’s bank does not engage in ordinary commercial lending, specializing in the business of taking advantage of the fire.

In order to seek greater profits, Leo Cohen even entered the casino, drug industry, opened the road to rapid wealth.

The life history of Reo Cohen is like a villain who has turned an ordinary Jewish family into one of the top Jewish families in Europe by his own strength.

Unfortunately, luck always runs out. When the European anti-Semitic movement spread to Austria, it immediately attracted the attention of Leo Kohn.

Only at that time the domestic situation in Austria was stable, there was no sign of large-scale anti-Semitism, Leo Kohn hesitated.

Then, in it came. Until he was arrested and imprisoned, Reo Cohen could not figure out how he ended up there.

The network of contacts that he normally built up, not to mention providing him with a safe haven, did not even send out the most basic warning of danger.

Although Austria was very strict on corruption, it was difficult to defeat a big capitalist like Leo Kohn.

Direct bribery is not possible, but indirect transfer of benefits can’t be stopped by anyone. Especially after owning his own bank, it is even more difficult to be regulated.

Leo Cohen can swim in the sin and gray area, the creation of such a large base, relying on the transfer of benefits under the power of the deal.

After trading for a long time, they have caught each other’s handles, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.

If something happens to Leo Cohen, you can drag everyone into the water, according to the current Austrian government laws, no one wants to get away.

It is the hand has enough chips, Reo Cohen will not be able to figure out why he will be reduced to a pariah.

At this time, a middle-aged sheriff and several prison guards walked in, picking up batons to the tumultuous crowd to carry out a punching and kicking type of suppression.

Not waiting for Leo Cohen to feel grateful for having escaped, the middle-aged sheriff sternly scolded, “No matter what your status is outside, you are all one status when you arrive here – criminals.

If you want to walk out of here alive, then be honest! Otherwise, if anything happens, you’ll be responsible for all the consequences.”

The sheriff’s shouting wasn’t without reason; Alpine Tarot Prison also had a resounding name – Hell’s Gate.

Those who were eligible to be locked up here were felons who had been convicted and were waiting for the court to pronounce its final judgment.

Generally speaking those who entered here, even if they were not sentenced to death, they would be sentenced to at least thirty years of correctional labor.

The prison guards naturally didn’t need to be polite when dealing with this group of felons. The so-called leaving alive was nothing more than being transferred from this prison to the Middle East or Africa where the conditions were even worse.

Hearing the middle-aged sheriff’s warning, Leo Cohen knew things were about to get bad.

There was only one reason the guards could care less about their little lives, and that was because they were all going to be executed. Only if it was certain that they would be sentenced to death did no one care how they died.

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, the middle-aged sheriff nodded in satisfaction and said slowly, “Who’s Leo Cohen, there’s a visitor.”

The gazes of the crowd swiped to Rayo Cohen, are a circle mixing, even if they don’t know that also mixed a familiar face.

In this situation now, there are still people who do not avoid suspicion, dare to run over to visit the prison, that is definitely a life and death friend.

Looking at the faces of envy and jealousy of the crowd, Leo Cohen could only secretly suffer.

Knowing that he had just been arrested, even if there were relatives and friends who didn’t avoid suspicion and were willing to rush over to visit, it was absolutely impossible for them to be so quick.

Then the identity of the person who came to see him now was self-evident. Leo Cohen heard very clearly is “prison visits” rather than “bail”, a word of different, to express the meaning is very different.

See the middle-aged sheriff face appeared impatient color, good at observing words and colors of Leo Cohen hurriedly rose and replied: “Mr. Sheriff, I am Leo Cohen, please is ……”.

Not waiting for Leo Cohen to finish his sentence, the middle-aged sheriff interrupted: “Let you go over you go, where so much nonsense.”

Curiosity killed the cat, this is Manuel s experience accumulated over many years of work, things that should not be asked, Manuel never asked.

With the mood of apprehensive Leo Cohen to the parlor, Manuel decisively chose to flash, even the guards responsible for guarding the prison guards were evacuated a hundred meters.

Reo Cohen, who had no bottom, took the lead and asked, “Sir Ledus, how is the situation outside?”

Ledus shook his head, “The situation is very bad, Mr. Leo. As of now, thousands of people have been imprisoned.

In these recent years, you guys have gone too far, and many people have looked at you in a bad light, so much so that there are very many people who have fallen on their sword now.

As old friends we’ll try to get you out, it’s just that the current situation is a bit complicated and we have to control the situation first and try not to let it expand.

If the situation gets out of hand, you have to be prepared for the worst as well. Of course that’s just if, the likelihood of that happening is very small.

You should be well aware of how powerful we are, even if the situation gets out of control, we’ll make sure that we don’t implicate your family, and we’ll even send them out of the country if necessary.”

Hearing this answer, Leo Cohen’s entire body turned ashen. Ledus appeared to be consoling, but in reality it was a warning, clearly telling him that talking nonsense would kill his entire family.

He couldn’t get out of the country even before he was tried by the court, and it would be even more impossible to get out of the country after he was convicted.

If a suspect can’t get out, it’s even more impossible to get out a convicted felon. It’s not a matter of wanting to, it’s a matter of no one being able to do it.

Unless Franz personally issued a pardon, according to Austrian law, releasing a criminal without authorization was a punishable offense.

Even if some officials were bold enough to take the risk, the people below them would not dare to carry it out.

The number of people involved was too large, and if any part of the process went wrong, all the participants would be finished together.

This is a lesson from the past, a few years ago there was a classic case, a second generation directly pitched in more than a hundred people.

This wave was still considered lucky, if the one released was a death row inmate, and everyone had to accompany them to hell, that would be tragic.

Having heard of many similar cases, Leo Cohen didn’t think he was qualified to let the bigwigs in the back hitch up their lives to save each other.

“Don’t worry Sir Ledus I am not going to give you any trouble. But the situation here is a bit complicated, I’m afraid my small body won’t be able to hold up, so see if you can help with the greeting.”

There was no way to get out for a while, so he could only think of ways to get by.

Ledus smiled faintly and said, “No problem, we’ll handle it. Mr. Leo, if you need anything, you can directly talk to the prison guards, as long as we can meet it, we will provide it.”

The short prison visit ended, and Ledus breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that there was no nonsense, or else the problem would have been exposed and they wouldn’t have been able to cover it.

After hesitating for a while, Ledus made a decision deep inside, “This Leo Cohen can’t be kept.”
