The moment gunfire erupted in the Triangle District, Mr. Charles knew there was a high probability that Richie's group was done for.
Since the Five Great Families were nearly wiped out, Lance roughly consolidated the entire criminal underworld of Golden Port City, and after he cleaned up the gangs.
The remaining gangs were basically revolving around bars and making money.
Lance did not allow them to freely collect protection fees, which also made it difficult for emerging gangs to start up.
The most lucrative liquor business they couldn't do; wanting to seize territory relying on merchants paying enough protection fees also couldn't be done. Now, there aren't many money-making businesses they can actually do.
Of course, no matter how they survive, the current gangs are no longer like in the past, with a strict "territorial awareness," where if other gang members invaded their gang territory, there would be a high probability of violent clashes.
