"Brother Huoniu is one of the top brass in your gang?" Hao Jian said with a smirk. "Then it seems the Dragon Tiger Gang really lacks talent. How about this—I'll introduce a talented individual to your gang."
"What kind of talent?" Baldy demanded.
"A man of courage and strategy, charming and dashing, carefree and unrestrained, adored by all, a lady-killer whom people welcome and cars stop for! That would be me!" Hao Jian said, laughing.
"Are you fucking with me?" Baldy's eyes suddenly turned vicious.
"Messing with you? I'm quite serious in discussing this matter. You go back and have a good talk with your Gang Leader. If he is willing to step down gracefully, then I won't kill him," Hao Jian said with a teasing tone.
"Tear him to shreds!"
In an instant, Baldy released the dozen or so Dobermans that charged towards Hao Jian.
"Daring to run wild on Dragon Tiger Gang's turf, you're really asking for it."
"My babies, kill him! He's your dinner tonight!"
The other mafia members also burst into laughter, believing that with so many Dobermans attacking at once, Hao Jian was certainly doomed.
But at that moment, Hao Jian spat, stomped the ground fiercely, and roared at the attacking Dobermans:
A wave of sound burst forth instantaneously, and the Dobermans immediately cried out in pain, fleeing in a disgraceful panic.
"What?" Baldy and the others were dumbfounded, utterly unprepared for this turn of events.
Beasts aren't like humans; they have a perception of danger. When they sense danger, they tend to run away.
Just now, they detected an extremely terrifying aura emanating from Hao Jian and subconsciously classified him as a fierce beast like a lion or tiger, losing their will to fight immediately.
"These dogs have already been scared off; now it's your turn, you dogs," Hao Jian said contemptuously, looking at Baldy.
"You're asking for it!" Baldy drew his gun.
"I'll give you one chance: put away the gun, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I will send you to meet your maker," Hao Jian said, the smile on his face growing more sinister.
Baldy, subconsciously readying to pull the trigger, saw in that moment that Hao Jian's figure vanished from where he stood.
By then, Hao Jian had appeared beside him at some unknown moment, his voice soft yet menacing, "You people never learn to behave."
Moments later, Hao Jian stood on the lawn, with a dozen bodies lying around him haphazardly.
Hao Jian was like someone bathed in blood, truly a blood-soaked figure.
Looking at the bodies on the ground, he then picked up his phone and made a call: "I want to see you at the Dragon Tiger Gang's headquarters within half an hour, or else you will bear the consequences!"
Upon hearing the dial tone on the other end, Brother Spice Ginger was still in a daze!
How did Hao Jian know his phone number? Why was he asking him to go to Fourth Gu's territory? Could it be that he had joined forces with Fourth Gu to get rid of him?
The Baldy who was killed was Brother Spice Ginger's rival, Fourth Gu, who had always been competing with Spice Ginger for territory. And now, Hao Jian had asked him to go to Fourth Gu's place, which naturally made him anxious.
"Boss, what's wrong?" His underling, seeing his pale face as if he had seen a ghost, couldn't help but ask.
"To Fourth Gu's headquarters," Spice Ginger sighed and finally decided to obey.
"What? Boss, you're not joking, are you?"
Brother Spice Ginger's underling was dumbfounded. Heading to Fourth Gu's stronghold? Wasn't that seeking death? With their enmity with Fourth Gu, wouldn't Fourth Gu want to kill them all?
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Brother Spice Ginger snorted coldly, although he was also annoyed. He didn't want to go either, but the problem was he had no choice.
People like Hao Jian were not someone he could afford to provoke. Perhaps if he went, he might be able to beg Hao Jian to spare his life, and if all else failed, he would surrender all his territories to Fourth Gu.
But if he didn't go, once Hao Jian came knocking, he would be doomed for sure. He had no confidence in dealing with that kind of monster.
"Maybe I should call some more people?" the underling asked.
"No need, just prepare a few people for me," Brother Spice Ginger waved his hand dismissively, knowing that if Hao Jian wanted him dead, no amount of people would make a difference.
Half an hour later, Brother Spice Ginger indeed appeared at Fourth Gu's stronghold, only to find that no one was standing guard, and not a single figure was present at the entrance.
"This is really weird. Why isn't there anyone on guard? Could this be a trap?" an underling said uneasily.
Upon hearing this, Brother Spice Ginger also couldn't help but become nervous. The atmosphere was too strange, and he feared that as soon as they entered the stronghold, a bunch of people with submachine guns would rush out and spray their car with bullets.
Yet, Brother Spice Ginger still had someone drive the car in. After proceeding about ten meters, he saw a corpse, then a second, and a third. Brother Spice Ginger found that the entire stronghold was littered with dead bodies.
Suddenly, Brother Spice Ginger realized something, his eyes emitting an extremely sharp light, and he urged his men, "Drive faster!"
Before long, Brother Spice Ginger found Hao Jian on the lawn, covered in blood. He hastily pushed the car door open and scrambled towards Hao Jian.
Then, he saw Fourth Gu's corpse lying at Hao Jian's feet, with a head being stepped on under his boot.
Brother Spice Ginger felt a chill throughout his body. Fourth Gu was dead? Killed by Hao Jian?
Brother Spice Ginger bowed his head low and respectfully bowed.
"Brother Spice Ginger, I believe you're quite familiar with who he is, right?" Hao Jian turned back to glance at Brother Spice Ginger, then kicked Fourth Gu's head over to him.
"Of course I'm familiar. He was the Gang Leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, the sworn enemy of my Four Seas Gang."
Brother Spice Ginger looked at Fourth Gu's head, his scalp feeling as if it were exploding, yet he didn't understand why Hao Jian brought this up.
"Since I've taken care of your sworn enemy for you, don't you think you owe me some gratitude?" Hao Jian said with a smile, looking at Brother Spice Ginger.
Brother Spice Ginger shivered and said, "Whatever thanks Mr. Hao Jian requires, please do tell."
"I want you to swallow the entire Dragon Tiger Gang for me!" Hao Jian's gaze burned fiercely as he looked at Brother Spice Ginger.
Brother Spice Ginger hesitated. The strength of the Dragon Tiger Gang was not far off from that of his own Four Seas Gang. How could he just swallow them up like that?
"I've already killed the Gang Leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, so now they will surely be headless dragons. If you don't make a move now, are you waiting for them to appoint a new leader?"
Hao Jian's lips curled with a hint of cold amusement. Now was the test to see if Brother Spice Ginger had the guts. If Brother Spice Ginger was bold enough, then wealth and glory awaited; if not, then he should quietly await his undoing.
Regardless, Hao Jian would not stand by and let the Dragon Tiger Gang continue to exist. If Brother Spice Ginger refused to work with him, he would seek out other gangs. By then, perhaps even Brother Spice Ginger's Four Seas Gang would be swallowed up.
Brother Spice Ginger gritted his teeth and glared, choosing to agree!
He knew that fortune favors the bold, and if he eliminated the Dragon Tiger Gang, he could truly dominate the East City District.
