"Da Xiong, how dare you lay hands on my Ghost Hand's men!" Ghost Hand's voice was icy, his fierce gaze fixed on the group entering the reception hall.
The burly man leading them was none other than Da Xiong.
Da Xiong strode forward and found a sofa to sit on. "You have quite the nerve too. Don't think I don't know it was your men who smashed my KTVs and bars today."
Old Wolf burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Da Xiong, you guessed right. It was indeed our men who smashed your establishments. But what can you do?"
E Kui Ping also sneered. "Do you really think you can claim the position of underground boss with just you? It's a pipe dream. Do you think we'll agree?"
"I'm telling you, if you're smart, you'll hand over all your businesses obediently. Otherwise, we'll show you the consequences of opposing us."
E Kui Ping's tone was full of threats.
"Since when did the affairs of our Jiangcheng become your business as outsiders?!" a man behind Da Xiong retorted indignantly.
Old Wolf smirked, a cold laugh escaping him. "Heh, we've interfered. What can you do? Do you really think this group of trash wants to become enemies with the three of us? You're probably overestimating your boss!"
"You!" The man's face was flushed with anger.
But he also knew Old Wolf was right. With three underground forces joining forces, they were no match for them!
Da Xiong's expression turned grim. "You think you can swallow up Jiangcheng's underground forces? Dream on."
Ghost Hand and the other two exchanged glances. Then Ghost Hand said mockingly, "Da Xiong, I advise you to think carefully. After all, as the saying goes, a wise man adapts to circumstances. By opposing us like this, you'll only bring disaster upon your subordinates and employees."
E Kui Ping sneered again, his threat laced with menace. "Da Xiong, we can smash your stores once, and we can smash them a second or even a third time. We can send your employees to the hospital once, and we can send them again. For the sake of your subordinates and employees, you need to consider this carefully."
Da Xiong glanced at the men behind him, their wrists bound. "I once said, if you dare cause trouble in Jiangcheng, I'll make sure you enter standing and leave horizontally."
Upon hearing this, the three of Ghost Hand scoffed.
"Da Xiong, you need to understand a principle. Ants are not worthy of threatening the strong, because an ant's threat is merely a joke to the strong."
It was clear that Ghost Hand was referring to Da Xiong as the ant.
"Is that so?" A glint of coldness flashed in Da Xiong's eyes. He then looked at his subordinates behind him.
In just a moment, more than a dozen subordinates pulled out batons from their waists.
Seeing this, the bodyguards of Ghost Hand and the others tensed up, their gazes fixed on Da Xiong and his men. The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
"Da Xiong, use your brain before you act. You need to think about the consequences," Old Wolf said in a grim voice.
As soon as Old Wolf finished speaking, Da Xiong's subordinates raised their batons and smashed them down hard on the knees of the bound men.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking echoed.
"Ah!"
A dozen men, bruised and battered, let out screams of agony and collapsed to the ground.
However, Da Xiong's subordinates showed no signs of stopping, continuing to rain blows down on the men.
With their kneecaps shattered and their hands bound, Ghost Hand's subordinates were utterly defenseless.
"Da Xiong! You're asking for death!" Ghost Hand was furious, slamming his hand on the chair and standing up.
To cripple his men in front of the underground bosses of two other territories was clearly a public humiliation to Ghost Hand. How could he not be enraged?
Da Xiong glanced at Ghost Hand. "I said before, whoever dares to cause trouble in Jiangcheng, I'll make sure they enter standing and leave horizontally. Ghost Hand, your men broke the rules first. Since they don't understand the rules, I'll have to teach them how to write the word 'rules'."
"Damn it, Da Xiong, what the hell do you think you are? In my eyes, you're nothing but trash. You dare to teach my men a lesson? Today, I'll make sure there's no more Da Xiong in Jiangcheng!"
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ghost Hand picked up a teacup and smashed it to the ground.
"Crash!"
The door was kicked open, and a group of men in suits, bodyguards, rushed in, surrounding Da Xiong and his men.
Ghost Hand glared at Da Xiong with malice. "You dog, I wanted to give you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You insisted on opposing me. Today, I'll let you know the consequences of offending me!"
Seeing the scene before him, Da Xiong's brow furrowed slightly.
The subordinates standing behind Da Xiong also formed a vigilant circle around him.
"Da Xiong, aren't you all tough? Weren't you so mighty just now? Didn't you say whoever causes trouble in Jiangcheng will leave horizontally?! I'm standing right here today. If you have the guts, break my legs!" Ghost Hand sneered, seeing the tense expressions on Da Xiong and his men.
Da Xiong's gaze fell on Ghost Hand. "Do you really think I came unprepared? Don't forget, this is Jiangcheng."
"If we can't get out of here within an hour, then no one is leaving today."
"Hahaha!" Old Wolf and E Kui Ping burst into laughter.
"Da Xiong, you're too confident. Once you're gone, do you think those trash outside will still dare to oppose us?" Old Wolf said with a cold laugh.
Ghost Hand, no longer able to wait, glanced at the surrounding bodyguards. "What are you all standing around for? Attack!"
"Protect Brother Xiong! We must escort Brother Xiong out, even if it costs us our lives!" a man behind Da Xiong shouted sternly.
Da Xiong also stood up from the sofa, his eyes fixed on the three of Ghost Hand.
Since they wanted his life, he would naturally show no mercy.
The bodyguards around them began to clench their fists, gradually closing in on Da Xiong.
"Bang!"
However, at that very moment.
The door was kicked open again.
"Roar!"
A scream of agony rang out as a bodyguard in a suit was sent flying into the reception hall.
The sudden event instantly drew the attention of everyone in the hall. Their eyes all turned towards the doorway.
A young man's figure walked in from the entrance.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen?!" Seeing the newcomer, the men around Da Xiong were stunned.
"Brother Fan?!" Da Xiong was also surprised.
He hadn't informed Chen Fan about his negotiation with Ghost Hand today, fearing Chen Fan would worry, and also fearing that Ghost Hand and the others might have some sinister tricks up their sleeves.
But Da Xiong hadn't expected Chen Fan to arrive anyway.
"Kid, is that you?!"
Ghost Hand also noticed Chen Fan, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
