"Are you kidding me? Xiao Yun has become the Grand Master of the Wolf Gang?"
"Hong Gang Master, I wouldn't dare to lie in front of you. This is absolutely true."
"Where did you get this information?"
"My wife heard it from Cold Brow."
"Well, Flower Cloth, as the esteemed eldest son-in-law of the Lu Family, the position of Vice Hall Master in the Wolf Gang should rightfully belong to you. Yet, it has been taken by an outsider. I truly feel sorry for you. By the way, have you found out anything about Cold as Ice's whereabouts?"
"I haven't. Hmph, that Cold Brow insists she doesn't know where her sister is!"
"Alright, Flower Cloth, I still need you to help me gather more information. Don't worry, while the Lu Family may not value you, I, Hong Qichang, do. As long as you assist me in secret, there will be benefits for you in the future!"
"Thank you, Hong Gang Master!"
...
Hong Qichang helplessly put down the phone and slumped onto the sofa with a gloomy expression, letting out a heavy sigh.
Xiao Yun actually became the Grand Master of the Wolf Gang; he found this hard to believe.
What troubled Hong Qichang even more was that with Xiao Yun now in the position of Grand Master of the Wolf Gang, it was certainly not good news for him. He felt as if disaster was about to befall him.
In Hong Qichang's mind, Cold as Ice's disappearance was definitely related to someone with the surname Xiao.
Xiao Yun and Lu Jiutang have a very close relationship. Now that he has taken the position of Vice Hall Master of the Wolf Gang, will he come to take revenge for Lu Jiutang? If he directly brings people to attack, how could the Flying Tiger Gang possibly stand against him?
Just as Hong Qichang was anxiously grinding his teeth and gasping for air, Official Kong hurried in and reported, "Boss, a young man named Xiao Yun claims to have business with you. He has brought several Vice Hall Masters from the Wolf Gang!"
What? What does this guy want at my place?
Damn it, is he here to start a massacre?
Upon hearing Old Kong's words, Hong Qichang felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, trembling all over as his scalp began to tingle.
"Quick, take me to the front door to welcome him!" Hong Qichang said in a panic.
"No need for you to trouble yourself, Hong Gang Master!"
A loud voice rang out at the entrance.
Xiao Yun walked in with his hands in his pockets, smiling broadly.
Behind him followed Fang Xiong and two other Vice Hall Masters from different branches of the Wolf Gang.
"Xiao Master, you are truly a rare guest. I wonder what brings you here today?" Hong Qichang said, cupping his fists with a forced smile.
He knew very well that this disaster had arrived, and it certainly wouldn't bring good news.
"Heh heh, Hong Gang Master, am I really so insubstantial that a gust of wind could just blow me around?" Xiao Yun asked with a cold smile.
Without waiting for Hong Qichang to invite him, he casually sat down in the main seat at the center of the living room, looking as if he were the master of the house.
The three Vice Hall Masters stood behind him.
"Apologies, Master Xiao, it's my fault for not speaking properly and offending you!"
Hong Qichang quickly signaled a maid to prepare tea for Xiao Yun, while instructing the butler, Old Kong, "Old Kong, please invite Madam. Our guest has arrived; she should come out to meet him!"
He knew that his wife was eloquent, and with her present, at least the atmosphere could be eased.
He also gave Old Kong a glance, signaling him to call the remaining Four Tiger Generals.
One of the Five Tiger Generals, Blade, had been killed by Cold as Ice, leaving only the Four Tiger Generals.
With the Four Tiger Generals present, they could at least bolster their courage.
Xiao Yun crossed his legs, sipping tea while casting a sidelong glance at the butler Old Kong. To his surprise, that glance made his heart skip a beat, nearly causing him to spill the water in his hands.
In his Spiritual Sense, although Old Kong was over seventy years old and looked frail, he was actually a Water Element User.
He hadn't expected that there was a master hidden within Hong Residence.
Despite Old Kong's unremarkable appearance and sickly demeanor, even if the remaining Four Tiger Generals from Flying Tiger Hall joined forces, they would still be far from his match.
Elemental users are subject to the principle of mutual restraint among the five elements: metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal.
Take Niu Tian for example; he was a fire element user. Water can extinguish fire, so if these two were to fight, Niu Tian would undoubtedly lose.
However, if these two teamed up, no expert from an Ancient Martial Arts Sect would stand a chance against them.
But the Five Elements also generate each other: Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth generates Metal.
If this Elemental Affinity User formed an alliance, even with Xiao Yun's current skills, it would be difficult for him to handle them.
Xiao Yun thought to himself that if he could subdue Old Kong to his side, it would undoubtedly add a powerful ally to his strength. However, from his appearance, Old Kong seemed sinister and was very submissive to Hong Qichang, being a loyal follower of the Hong Family; it might not be easy to subdue him.
As he pondered this, Hong Qichang's wife, Liu Cai Chun, had dressed up in a tight-fitting dress and walked out with a swaying gait. When she saw that the guest was Xiao Yun, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart felt as if it had been squeezed hard. She stumbled slightly and almost fell.
Hong Qichang hurriedly introduced Xiao Yun, "Xiao Master, this is my wife..."
"Wife?"
Xiao Yun touched his chin and said in realization, "Oh, understood. Wife means your spouse. No need for introductions; I've heard of Liu Cai Chun's great reputation. Not only is she naturally beautiful, but she also dances well. Just look at the way she walks—tsk tsk, that little backside sways so beautifully that it makes one want to touch it. I wonder what it feels like to hold her in my arms?"
Sweat! What is this guy talking about?
Is it appropriate to say such things about someone else's wife in front of them?
It sounds like he wants to sleep with her.
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Hong Qichang's baby-faced expression darkened to the point where it seemed like water would drip from it. However, he could only suppress his anger and dared not explode.
"Mr. Xiao, you are truly a humorous person; you know how to joke!" Hong Qichang forced a smile.
Little did he know that Xiao Yun ignored Hong Qichang's words entirely and kept his gaze fixed on Liu Cai Chun. After a moment, he leaned closer to her with a playful grin and said, "Madam, I see you are young and beautiful with ample assets up front. Your willow-like brows are delicate, your charming eyes hide peach blossoms, your nose is slightly upturned, and your red lips part lightly. From your facial features, there seems to be a strong indication of infidelity!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Cai Chun's face turned pale with fright. Standing beside her, Lu Shan felt his calves cramp up as well. Could it be that this guy came here today to expose their secret affair?
Hong Qichang certainly couldn't suspect his wife of stealing from anyone. As the leader of the Flying Tiger Gang, who would dare to put a green hat on him in his own territory?
He was simply infuriated by that man named Xiao. How could he mock his woman right in front of him? It was truly too much to bear; it was something that could not be tolerated.
Cough, cough, cough...
"Mr. Xiao, I wonder what brings you here today?" Hong Qichang suppressed his anger and coughed heavily a few times, seemingly reminding him to speak with some restraint. This was the Hong Residence, not his own home.
However, Xiao Yun seemed to completely ignore his words, gazing at Liu Cai Chun like a lovesick fool. He cheerfully grabbed her small hand and said, "Come, my lady, sit beside me. I, Master Xiao, particularly enjoy having beautiful women by my side. For instance, whenever I encounter something unpleasant, just seeing a beauty beside me instantly calms my heart. Haha..."
Saying this, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, he pulled her down to sit next to him and couldn't help but place a hand on her soft thigh.
Hong Qichang's eyes bulged, and his mouth twitched violently. A wave of fiery anger surged within him, almost making him spit out a mouthful of blood right then and there.
Endure!
A small grievance can disrupt a grand plan!
The three fellows standing behind Xiao Yun were secretly delighted. Hehe, it's still great to follow Master Xiao. Look at that! Master Xiao is impressive; he mocks the woman of the black boss right in front of him, and Hong doesn't even dare to show his teeth.
One can imagine that even when Master Lu was alive, he didn't have such power.
What is strength?
This is strength; strength surpasses everything!
At this moment, Master Xiao seemed to have just remembered that Hong Qichang was sitting next to him.
He faced Hong Qichang and said, "Hong Gang Master, your ears really are quite perceptive. I just took over the Wolf Gang the night before last, and you already knew about it?"
Hong Qichang chuckled a few times and replied, "Who in the Galactic District doesn't know the reputation of the Wolf Gang? Such a significant change as replacing a Grand Master is bound to be known by anyone with ears."
"Well, it seems that Hong Gang Master is quite astute to recognize the Wolf Gang's reputation. To be honest, I'm here for no other reason than to tell you that two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain. In this Galactic District, I think you should restrain yourself a bit and not offend my Wolf Gang. Otherwise, I could wipe out your Flying Tiger Gang in an instant. Do you understand?"
"This..."
Hong Qichang was somewhat irritated and coldly laughed, "Xiao Master, your words are a bit too harsh. Regardless, you should know that a cornered dog will jump over the wall."
"Oh, so you compare yourself to a dog?"
Xiao Yun turned his head to look at Liu Cai Chun, one hand reaching toward her thigh. "Tsk tsk, beautiful sister, I didn't expect you to be into this; marrying a dog is such a pity for your beauty!"
"You..." Hong Qichang's face turned purple with anger. He wanted to pounce on him but realized he was no match and held back.
What made him even more furious was that this guy repeatedly placed his hand on his wife's thigh right in front of him without any restraint. Was he invisible?
You can touch her if you want, but why do you have to squeeze?
You can squeeze if you want, but why tease her with your words?
You can tease if you want, but at least consider my feelings!
You brat took away my cousin and now come to mock my wife; how am I supposed to live with this?
"Damn it, my people are all standing aside watching. How can I maintain my face in front of them? How can I establish my authority as their leader?"
"Are you trying to push me to a dead end?"
"Anger aside, he really has no choice."
"That guy can destroy a building with a single punch. If he gets upset and throws another punch here..."
Thinking of that outcome, cold sweat broke out on Hong Qichang's forehead.
"Just endure it."
"Endure!"
"Endure!!!"
"Hong Gang Master, what's wrong? Are you about to lose your temper?" Xiao Yun asked with a charming smile, the corners of his mouth curving up.
Xiao Yun noticed that no matter how much he teased Hong Qichang, Old Kong stood by with an expressionless face, as if nothing was happening or that the situation had nothing to do with him, completely like a statue.
This old man is quite interesting!
Hong Qichang touched his face and forced a smile. "How could I dare? With Xiao Master's skills, how could I possibly get angry in front of you?"
Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction. "Actually, you know very well about some of the bad things you've done. I also know your capabilities. If it were anyone else speaking like this in front of you, they would have been taken out by your subordinates long ago, right?"
"Xiao Master, you're joking again!"
"Hehe, I never joke casually."
Xiao Yun took out a metal card from his pocket, tossed it in his hand, and said, "By the way, weren't you going to deal with Red Sister and Cheng Hu? I finally found out that they stole this card from you. I don't even know what it is, but here it is back to you!"
Whoosh!
He casually threw the card, and it embedded itself into the table in front of Hong Qichang, disappearing completely.
What immense internal power!
Hong Qichang immediately recognized that it was the card given to him by the Blood Curse Gate.
"Xiao Master..."
"No need to say more," Xiao Yun waved at the three leaders standing behind him and said, "Let's go!"
Hong Qichang hurriedly stood up and said, "Xiao... Xiao Master, you're a rare guest. Look, it's almost noon, and since you've come all this way to our place, I must treat you to something!"
"Oh, really?" Xiao Yun, who had originally walked to the door, suddenly turned back.
In that moment, Hong Qichang wished he could slap himself hard.
With such a disaster of a person, he couldn't wait for him to leave as soon as possible. Why was he being so foolish?
The words had already been spoken and could not be taken back. He could only force a flattering smile and said, "How about we gather at the Emperor Hotel?"
Xiao Yun pretended to think for a moment and replied, "That place is nice, but I'm not free today." He shot a glance at Fang Xiong and the three Vice Hall Masters from his branch, smiling as he added, "You all should go. Master Hong has considerable wealth; make sure you eat and drink well, and don't shortchange yourselves!"
"Alright," Fang Xiong and the other three Vice Hall Masters responded, "We'll follow the Vice Hall Master's instructions!"
Hehe, it seemed like they would have a good feast today.
It would be best if they booked a few tables and called over some good brothers.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Xiao Yun didn't even glance at Hong Qichang, just waved to his own Vice Hall Masters before leaving Hong Residence alone.
Hong Qichang was so angry that his mouth nearly twisted. This Xiao was clearly slapping his face, leaving only his subordinates behind. What kind of situation was this?
He could only turn to Lu Shan and the Four Tiger Generals and said, "You all get the cars ready and invite the leaders of Wolf Gang to sit with you. I won't be going!"
"Yes, Boss!"
