Chapter 50: The Devil's Mask Joins

  The demon face did not break his promise and arrived at the Black Mantaro with a dozen or so younger brothers before 7 pm.

  "Boss Wang, Right-hand Brother is here, and he's brought a couple dozen little brothers with him." A waiter came to the manager's office and said to Wang Sheng.

  "Oh? This kid actually came?" After finishing speaking, Wang Sheng took out his mobile phone and dialed Tang Feng's number.

  "Boss, Gui Mian is here, he brought a couple dozen people."

  "Alright, okay, got it."

  Hanging up the phone, Wang Sheng said to his younger brother: "You find two people to bring Ghost Face to the villa, Boss wants to see him."

  After Xiao Di left, Wang Sheng lit a cigarette and said: "Ghost face, you'd better behave yourself. The boss is new, he hasn't experienced the treachery of the Taoist world, but if you dare..."

  Half an hour later, under the leadership of two members of the Huaxing Society, Guimian and his younger brother arrived at Tang Feng's villa. Leaving his younger brother outside, Guimian brought only 2 confidants to the living room, without waiting for Tang Feng's invitation, he sat down on the sofa very naturally.

  Tang Feng personally brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to Guimian, saying: "You are very trustworthy."

  The demon-faced man pushed the coffee in front of him forward and said, "Although I'm not a gentleman, I'll definitely keep my promises. Sorry, I don't like drinking this stuff."

  Tang Feng nodded and said: "Hehe, I don't like this kind of thing either. I still prefer drinking tea."

  The ghost's face scrunched up and he said, "I didn't come here to discuss what to drink with you. From now on, I'm your younger brother. Whatever you say goes."

  Tang Feng waved his hand and said, "In the Huaxing Society, there are no younger brothers, only brothers. Since you've entered this door, you're a brother. As for how long this brotherhood will last, let's not mention it for now."

  The demon's face coldly smiled and said, "Hmph, not just anyone can be my brother. Speak, what do you want me to do? I don't believe you took me in as your younger brother just to raise me."

  Tang Feng smiled and said: "I want you to bring your subordinates with your right hand, from now on you are the deputy hall master of the War Hall, do you have any questions?"

  The ghostly face raised its head with some suspicion, looking into Tang Feng's eyes, but unfortunately, he didn't see what he wanted to. The ghostly face asked: "Why? Give me a strong reason, just a few hours ago I was still your enemy, now you're asking me to be the deputy hall master, are you at ease with this? Are your subordinates willing?"

  Tang Feng stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the scenery outside with a low voice: "From your words this afternoon, I knew you weren't a small person, even if you were, you're a real small person. You have ability and charisma, what you lack is luck and strength. Just as you thought, my ability to reach where I am today in such a short time certainly has a large part of luck, but you can't deny the strength I possess. Even without that luck, XA would eventually be mine. You're more familiar with the underworld situation here than I am, which is precisely what I lack."

  Tang Feng turned around and stared at the ghost face, saying: "Since we both have what the other lacks, why can't we complement each other? Without you, unifying the XA underworld might still be a long way off, but if we cooperate, who can stop us? My goal is not just this small city of XA, I don't want to waste too much time here, do you understand what I'm saying?"

  "Am I being used by you?" Kui Meng asked.

  Tang Feng shook his head and sat down beside Guimian, putting his arm around his shoulder. "No, I want you to join me. You're a talented individual, a born genius in the underworld. If you don't join us, you'll only be able to live a mundane life somewhere, perhaps becoming a small-time boss in some small city. At least after I unify XA, I won't allow any other forces to exist under my nose. Is this really what you want?"

  The demon face shook off Tang Feng's arm and said, "You're very ambitious, but I like it. I admit that your words have moved me deeply. If what you said today is true, then I, the demon face, am willing to follow you in conquering the world. And my previous words will not change - sooner or later, I will defeat you. But if you're just trying to placate me today, I'll make you regret it."

  Tang Feng looked at Guimian sincerely and said, "There's no need to say more, I believe you will soon blend into our lives."

  As soon as the words fell, Xu Qiang walked in and cursed: "Damn it, I just entered the door and saw so many people in the yard, I thought something had happened." After finishing, Xu Qiang looked at the ghost face beside Tang Feng and smiled, which was considered a greeting.

  Before long, several key members of the Huaxing Society had arrived. Tang Feng looked at everyone and said: "Today I called you here not only to discuss what to do next, but also to introduce a new brother to you."

  He pointed to the ghost mask beside him, and Tang Feng continued: "The ghost mask is not unfamiliar to everyone. From today on, the ghost mask will be one of us. Later, you go down and tell your brothers that from now on, the ghost mask will be the deputy hall master of our War Hall."

  Tang Feng had just finished speaking when Guan Zhiyong said coldly, "You want to be the deputy hall master as soon as you arrive? Eldest brother, have you thought this through clearly? In the Huaxing Society, if you want to rise up, it's not just about relying on your connections, but also having real ability. Otherwise, the younger brothers below won't obey you either."

  Guan Zhiyong said that it was inevitable, except for Tang Feng, they had never seen Guimian take action before. If they just let Guimian become the deputy hall master under Tang Feng's brother like this, they would not be convinced.

  Tang Feng didn't mind Guan Zhiyong's rebuke at all, after all, they had been good brothers for many years. He knew what Guan Zhiyong meant, and he turned his head to look at the Ghost Face, saying: "Ghost Face, show your skills."

  The ghost face did not speak, and suddenly a foot-long blade slipped out of his sleeve, slashing towards Guan Zhiyong's neck.

  Guan Zhiyong's pupils widened slightly, and he tilted his head to one side. At the same time, he reached out with his hand and firmly grasped the wrist of Guimian, smiling as he said, "Not bad, I agree."

  Apart from Tang Feng and Xu Qiang, the others stared at the two in surprise. Both of their speeds were extremely fast, they didn't even see how Guimian and Guan Zhiyong had made their moves, and couldn't help but raise their evaluation of Guimian a few more points. Especially Wang Sheng, his pressure was immense, after seeing Guimian make his move, he asked himself if he could absolutely dodge this ghostly slash.

  But the thoughts in Kui Mian's heart were vastly different. Originally, he thought Tang Feng was very strong, but unexpectedly, the person in front of him also had skills that weren't weaker than Tang Feng's. If Hua Xing Society had a few more people like this, it would be too frightening. In the past, his own skills at XA were considered quite good, but compared to these people, he was still far behind. Thinking about this made Kui Mian feel somewhat disheartened.

  Actually, Guan Zhiyong and Tang Feng are still a bit worse than them, it's just that the ghost face can't feel the difference, just like an ant seeing a cow and seeing an elephant is no different, because of its smallness, so it can't feel the difference between the elephant and the cow.

  Tang Feng saw the expressions of everyone and gently patted the shoulder of Guimian, saying: "Don't be discouraged, our strength is also built up through years of uninterrupted practice. In the past, you didn't have this opportunity or time, but now it's different. We have our own training base, if you feel that you're not strong enough, after XA's affairs are settled, you can go and train. As long as you have perseverance, I believe that soon you will also become stronger."

  The demon face didn't say a word, only gave Tang Feng a deep look and nodded as a response. He yearned to become stronger, yearned for great power, but at first, he had no conditions, and when the conditions were met, there were too many things waiting for him to do, with no time to spare. Perhaps this decision was correct, at least it saved a lot of time, and he didn't have to pay attention to everything by himself like before.
