"What are you, what are you doing?"
Originally, that crow fellow stood behind Hu Po, wanting to borrow the tiger's might and take the opportunity to see Shen Xiong get a good beating.
But he never expected that the Lin Worship, who had just killed people as easily as cutting vegetables, would end up in this state after Du Fei made his move.
Immediately after, the big shots from various provinces in the hall, each with their subordinates, surrounded Hu Po.
Seeing that they were surrounded by everyone, Crow trembled with fear.
"Hu Po, you originally said you wanted to invite everyone to Dian Province, and we didn't think too much of it. But we never expected that you, this guy, would harbor ill intentions and want to capture everyone in one fell swoop. Now, don't you owe us an explanation?"
The person who spoke was Zhang Zicheng.
Among everyone present, Zhang Zicheng was second to none in terms of identity, status, or age, which was why Hu Po had singled him out first.
Now that Lin Worship was crippled, everyone, including Zhang Zicheng, wanted an explanation from Hu Po.
Hu Po glanced at the crowd before him, then coldly snorted, "The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. Since I've lost, I have nothing more to say. If you have the guts, then kill me!"
As soon as Hu Po finished speaking, everyone immediately started cursing.
"Damn it! Hu Po, you're a big shot, and you're resorting to this kind of tactic?"
"Damn it, do you think we don't dare to kill you? Come on, my hands aren't clean of blood either, let me!"
"With so many of us here, a mere Hu Po could be drowned by our spit!"
However, with so many people and so many voices, the hall quickly became noisy.
Finally, Zhang Zicheng extended his hand and pressed down slightly, and everyone slowly quieted down.
"This young brother, we are all grateful to you for saving us today. How do you think these two should be dealt with?"
After the crowd quieted down, Zhang Zicheng walked up to Du Fei and asked politely.
If, before this, everyone including Zhang Zicheng had felt that Du Fei was just an unknown young man.
Then now, no one dared to underestimate Du Fei again, because even the powerful Lin Worship couldn't withstand two moves from him.
In this day and age, those with strength naturally command respect.
"I came here purely at the invitation of a friend. As for how to handle the next steps, you can discuss it with him."
Du Fei shook his head, indicating he didn't want to get involved in these matters.
Although Zhang Zicheng and the others had previously thought that Du Fei couldn't possibly be Shen Xiong's subordinate, his direct statement confirmed their suspicions.
Moreover, Du Fei's attitude was firm, so Zhang Zicheng turned his gaze to Shen Xiong.
Shen Xiong was still a bit dazed, as everything had happened too quickly.
Hearing Du Fei say that the matter was to be handed over to him, Shen Xiong knew very well that he didn't want to get involved.
Shen Xiong took out his phone and called Sun Cheng outside, telling them to escort Du Fei back to the hotel to rest.
Then, after Du Fei left, he began to discuss the next steps with Zhang Zicheng and the others.
This discussion lasted for several hours.
Finally, after much deliberation, they established an alliance.
However, this alliance was not as Hu Po had envisioned, where he would gather everyone under his banner.
With Zhang Zicheng and Shen Xiong as the alliance leaders, they also elected several individuals with 'high prestige' in the underworld as deputy leaders.
All members of the alliance, based on the principle of mutual benefit, would no longer fight or kill each other from now on.
If any conflict arose between alliance members, it would be reported immediately and mediated by the alliance.
As for Hu Po, although he was not killed in front of everyone, the people present were all from the underworld and were not to be trifled with.
So, even if he could survive today, it was not impossible that in a few days, his body would be found by the river.
On this point, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it.
After discussing for hours, during which the hotel served endless drinks and everyone ate and drank heartily.
During this time, everyone present spontaneously toasted Shen Xiong.
Soon, he started to get drunk.
But there was no other way, as he was the one who had stolen the spotlight today.
"Brother Xiong, we brothers will rely on your guidance from now on."
"Brother Xiong, I knew from the start that you were capable of great things. From now on, this younger brother will follow your lead."
"Brother Xiong..."
Batch after batch, each person who came to toast Shen Xiong offered endless flattery.
It wasn't until the end that Zhang Zicheng, sitting next to Shen Xiong, couldn't stand it any longer and stopped people from continuing to toast him, thus preventing Shen Xiong from falling under the table from drunkenness.
"Shen Xiong, although I know your friend doesn't want to get involved with people like us, I and everyone else owe him a favor. Perhaps with his abilities, we can never repay this favor in this lifetime, but please convey our gratitude to him. Otherwise, I really won't be able to rest easy."
After stopping others from toasting Shen Xiong, Zhang Zicheng put his arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear.
Shen Xiong had also interacted with Zhang Zicheng before and greatly admired his character.
So, he smiled and said, "Third Brother, you can see it too. Du Fei calling me a friend is really flattering me. I know my own worth very well, but don't worry, I will definitely convey your and everyone's good intentions!"
"Good! Let's have a drink."
Having expressed what needed to be expressed, Zhang Zicheng didn't delay any further.
He then raised his glass and clinked it with Shen Xiong.
Seeing that they had eaten enough and many people were too drunk to stand, Zhang Zicheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Sun Cheng and Zhao Tao, who had been waiting at the door since early on, immediately stepped forward and helped Shen Xiong up, supporting him as they walked out.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Long Teng Hu Yue Hotel, Shen Xiong patted the shoulders of the two.
Sun Cheng and Zhao Tao were momentarily unsure of Shen Xiong's intentions but chose to stop.
Shen Xiong turned around, glanced back, and let out a long sigh. "I never expected that in just a few hours, I would become the alliance leader of the Southwest region. Heh heh, what Hu Po painstakingly tried to achieve but failed, has inadvertently benefited me."
A few hours ago, Hu Po had confidently gathered all the big shots in the Southwest region, intending to unify them.
But he probably never dreamed that the outcome would be what it was now.
After lamenting the unpredictability of life, Shen Xiong turned around and walked towards the prepared car.
