Chapter Fifty-One: Pointed Words

  Under Tang Feng's kind words, everyone introduced themselves to each other and got acquainted. However, Wang Sheng's attitude wasn't very good, but this couldn't be blamed on him. Those who came out to mingle had one foot in prison and the other in the morgue. Having just retrieved his leg from prison, he didn't want to carelessly end up in the morgue again. Nevertheless, for Tang Feng's sake, he didn't make things difficult for him.

  After everyone had introduced themselves, Tang Feng sipped his tea and said: "Let's hear your opinions. We're now in a situation where we can't help but shoot the arrow that's already on the bowstring." Ever since he returned this afternoon, Tang Feng had been feeling uneasy. The several big shots of XA had defected to him, Ghost Face had died at his hands, and Hu Lu had also been killed by Ghost Face. Nong Min was now a useless person as well.

  For anyone with ambition, now is the best opportunity. With good luck, one can become famous overnight and stand at the pinnacle of the underworld, while those with bad luck will only end up with a ruined family and a tragic fate.

  Huaxing Society is now right in the eye of the storm, and it's likely that those with some power on XA are eyeing Huaxing Society covetously. This isn't to say that Huaxing Society is easy to bully, but rather that those big shots are intimidated. From its emergence on XA until now, Huaxing Society has only been around for a little over a month, yet it already carries itself like an old-timer on XA. How could they not be feared? Nobody wants to be the next one to be eliminated by Huaxing Society.

  Everyone was silent, Tang Feng looked at the scene and was also furious. Damn it, usually one by one could talk a lot, but when it came to the crucial moment, they all became mute? Fine, you don't want to speak? I'll make you speak.

  "Left hand, you are one of the three major hall masters, first tell me your opinion." Tang Feng said to Xu Qiang.

  Xu Qiang raised his head and looked at Tang Feng, furrowed his brow, with a fierce expression, but didn't say a word. Just when everyone thought he was going to scold him, Xu Qiang spoke up, but as soon as his words came out, all the people present fainted. He choked for half a day before saying: "Boss, I'll listen to you, you said miscellaneous affairs, so it's miscellaneous affairs."

  Tang Feng rolled his eyes and patted his forehead, feeling frustrated in his heart.

  The demon-faced man did not speak to anyone in the crowd, but coldly said: "To solve the current problem, there are only two ways, one is to surrender and the other is to kill."

  Someone took the lead, and the scene naturally became much more lively. However, Wang Sheng was acting strangely, as if he had taken the wrong medicine, and was deliberately confronting the ghost face-to-face. As soon as the ghost finished speaking, Wang Sheng let out a cold snort and said: "Hmph, surrender? Do you think it's that easy to make someone surrender just by saying so? Let's not even mention those who think they're the real masters of XA and whether or not they'd be willing to submit to an outsider. Even if they were willing, we wouldn't dare accept them. People's hearts are unpredictable, how can you know what others are thinking? As for killing... that's even more laughable. How many would we have to kill? A hundred or a thousand? By the time it's all said and done, I think we'd be the ones who should be running away with our tails between our legs. What exactly is going through your mind, you little brat?"

  As soon as Wang Sheng's voice fell, everyone except Tang Feng and Guan Zhiyong looked at Gui Mian with suspicious eyes. Yes, Gui Mian was notorious for being ruthless and cunning on the XA path, and now he had surrendered to Tang Feng so easily, which couldn't help but make people suspect his true intentions.

  Tang Feng could sense that Guimian was not as Wang Sheng had described, but he didn't speak up to help him. Instead, he just sipped his tea, expecting Guimian to resolve the issue himself. This problem needed to be solved, and if Tang Feng intervened to vouch for Guimian, others would only pretend to accept it on the surface because of his authority, without truly changing their minds. Therefore, no one but Guimian could dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts.

  Guimian is a clever person, otherwise he wouldn't have made a name for himself in XA. He naturally understands Tang Feng's thoughts and has an even higher opinion of this old boss - brave and wise, what a rare find!

  "With a thought in mind, but without any ambiguity on the surface, he said directly: 'I don't know how you got to the position of hall master with your IQ. First of all, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and strength is everything. Most people who come out to mix are strong and respected, as long as they have enough strength to prove it to those people, anyone who isn't an idiot knows how to choose. As for their credibility, that's not a problem either. After being subdued, you don't necessarily need to reuse them, but they must hand over all the power in their hands. Do you understand?'"

  Wang Sheng just coldly snorted and didn't speak, the ghost face continued: "What I mean by killing is not to kill every single one of them, but to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys. Those who listen to us we can subdue, those who don't listen to us we'll get rid of him, as a warning to others."

  What does this Wang Sheng, an old hand, not understand? Earlier, he only had his heart set on finding a ghost face and didn't think it through carefully. He didn't expect that instead of finding the ghost face, he would be lectured by others. At this moment, he was very displeased in his heart, stood up and prepared to take action.

  Tang Feng took a look and was about to start fighting without making a sound. That would be a loss, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop them: "Enough."

  After Wang Sheng stopped, Tang Feng said calmly: "We are all brothers, don't think about taking action so easily. You two have a problem with your way of speaking, and previously you didn't think things through carefully. From now on, we're all just family brothers. One of you is the Hall Master and the other is the Deputy Hall Master. If we continue like this, it will make our younger brothers laugh at us. Let's all change?"

  While no one was paying attention, Tang Feng secretly gave Guan Zhiyong a signal. Guan Zhiyong knew it was time for him to play the role of the bad guy as the head of the law enforcement hall. With a subtle nod, he said: "What do you all want to do? Do you think being the head of the law enforcement hall is just for show? You, Right Hand, are one of the founding members and an elder of the organization. Are you setting a good example by doing this? Are you capable enough? Can you suspect your own brothers? How can you lead your younger brothers like this? Is it right to doubt your own brothers? If we continue like this, we'll be finished without anyone else's help. Hmph. If Ghost Face does anything that betrays the organization in the future, I, as the head of the law enforcement hall, will take care of it. If you believe in my abilities, just mind your own business."

  After Wang Sheng nodded with his head down, Guan Zhiyong said to Guimian: "And you, Guimian, I don't care what you were like before. Now that you've joined the Huaxing Society, everything must be done according to the rules of the Huaxing Society. In daily life, we are all brothers, and it's okay to joke around and scold each other, but if I find out you have any ill intentions towards our brothers, humph."

  Guan Zhiyong suddenly burst into anger, and everyone fell silent. The tyrants thought more in their hearts: they must not fall into the hands of a dagger. When they were at the training base, they had heard Xu Qiang mention the horror of daggers before, and now that they saw him get angry, they were all a little afraid.

  Tang Feng saw that the atmosphere was almost right, so he waved his hand to mediate: "Alright, don't think too much about it, you're all brothers. Only a brother would speak to you like this. As long as you brothers do well, I'll take notice. Alright, let's continue our previous conversation."

  Lin Feng stood up and said, "Boss, I agree with Gui Ge's opinion. In my view, we might as well take this opportunity to gather the leaders of various forces in A City and hold a black society conference. At that time, we can lay our cards on the table at the meeting. If they are sensible and willing to surrender to us, then it's fine. If there are those who refuse, we can directly eliminate them at the meeting, letting those leaders watch as people who dare to oppose us fall before their eyes. The intimidation effect will be even stronger."

  After some discussion, everyone thought Lin Feng's idea was good, and they all raised their hands in agreement. This matter was then handed over to Lin Feng to handle, except for Guimian and Wang Sheng who were left behind by Tang Feng, the rest of the people also dispersed to attend to their own matters.
