Chapter 494: Chapter 519: Scheming
Chen Family.
Inside Juyi Hall.
Four middle-aged men, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility, dressed in luxurious clothes, were gathered together, quietly waiting for the Chen Family Patriarch to arrive.
These four men were the current leaders among the six major forces in Mountain City.
Of course.
Now, it can only be said to be five major forces.
After Baiyu bombarded the headquarters of the Black Water Gang, capturing hundreds of core members, the remaining ones were completely devoured by the other forces.
As a result.
After the initial panic, the five major forces discovered that this was a great feast.
They hadn’t eaten so heartily in a long time.
"The Chen Patriarch invited us here but hasn’t come out to meet us, what is the meaning of this?"
Qinglongzi, the leader of the Cyan Dragon Association, said in a deep voice.
He was a handsome man with a tall and slender build.
His attire was also very appropriate, making it easy for people to take a liking to him at first glance.
"That’s right, I still have business to attend to at home. The Chen Patriarch called us over and now ignores us; is this a show of intimidation?"
Beside Qinglongzi.
A man dressed in a pink outfit chimed in agreement.
This man’s voice was somewhat effeminate, and his appearance and attire were also somewhat gender-ambiguous.
Moreover, there was a strong scent of perfume on him.
This was the President of the Kuanglang Association.
In Mountain City, three gangs and two associations and a family, with the family referring to the Chen Family. They have Elite Level Martial Artists at their Peak, extensive connections, and are even honored guests at the annual Armed Department banquet.
The two associations refer to the Kuanglang Association and the Cyan Dragon Association.
The power of these two organizations is slightly weaker than that of the Chen Family, but they also have Elite Level Martial Artists at their Peak.
And they have many Elite Level Martial Artists and various trump cards.
They manage all kinds of businesses in Mountain City, and ordinary people do not dare to provoke them.
The three gangs.
Are the Cyan Dragon Gang, Black Water Gang, and Power Gang.
However, now the Black Water Gang is practically non-existent, and no one cares about them anymore.
Aside from the Chen Family, the other forces are actually quite similar, with no clear superiority.
The various major forces always considered the Chen Family as the leader.
So at this moment.
After Hua Runzhu from the Kuanglang Association stoked the flames, the others didn’t continue to complain.
Because through the main entrance of the hall.
A burly middle-aged man walked in steadily, jokingly scolding:
"Hua Runzhu, you dead sissy, talking behind my back again. If you didn’t act so much like a woman and I wasn’t afraid of being seen hitting a woman, I would’ve slapped you long ago."
Upon hearing this.
The other three leaders couldn’t help but smile.
Only Hua Runzhu was filled with anger, glaring at the newcomer like a bashful young girl: "Chen Bufan, you’d better watch what you say."
Hearing his "coquettish" response.
Even though Chen Bufan, the Chen Family Patriarch, had weathered many storms, he almost couldn’t bear it and felt sick enough to vomit.
"Enough, I called everyone here today not to bicker with you."
Chen Bufan quickly changed the topic.
Everyone saw his serious expression, indicating he wasn’t joking, and sat upright and attentive, waiting for him to speak further.
Soon after.
Chen Bufan took his seat, his eyes fixed on the others: "What do you all think of this new Count?"
Here it comes.
The four of them realized that the Chen Family had called them over for some urgent matter.
However.
They didn’t expect it to concern the new Count.
And to ask so directly.
"Chen Patriarch, have you received any news?"
Beside him.
Xiang Dingtian, the Power Gang leader, wearing a short robe and covered in bronze-colored muscles, asked in a gruff voice.
The others also watched Chen Bufan nervously.
The Earl’s Mansion was extremely sensitive to them.
If conflicts could be avoided, they should definitely be avoided.
Otherwise.
Fighting would only cause unnecessary trouble.
"I did receive some information about that Violet Count.
Don’t be fooled by how terrifyingly young he looks.
This youngster has survived many life-and-death experiences.
If you really treat him as a mere youngster, the Black Water Gang is a cautionary tale."
Chen Bufan said in a low voice.
He had people investigate Baiyu’s background.
The results were not good news for the major gangs.
"Is it that serious?"
Lang Fanyun, the Kuanglang Association President, said in a deep voice.
Chen Bufan nodded, then quickly said with a smile: "But there’s no need for everyone to worry. We’ve been operating here for so long, it’s not something a new Count can easily overthrow.
However.
I’m here to tell you all to tidy up your affairs and not leave any evidence for others to grab hold of.
Otherwise.
If the Count finds something to use as an excuse, it will cause a lot more trouble."
The four nodded in agreement.
The Black Water Gang, such a vast enterprise, was defeated because that young man found solid evidence against them, unable to overturn the verdict.
"Chen Patriarch, if it’s just for a short while, we can naturally manage.
However.
If we have to be cautious forever, that’s simply impossible. Our families are large, and we all rely on business to feed our subordinates."
Xiang Dingtian, the Power Gang leader, said again in a deep voice.
The arrival of this Count had caused a significant change in the previously stagnant situation of Mountain City.
It’s just unclear.
When this change will stop.
"Let’s endure this period for now. I reckon that we might not even need to take action; someone in the city will naturally grow displeased with him."
Chen Bufan said, furrowing his brows.
Everyone seemed to agree that this Violet Count was not necessarily a welcome presence.
In Mountain City.
There are many bigwigs around.
...
"How’s the aftermath work of the Black Water Gang handled?"
Earl’s Mansion main hall.
Baiyu, dressed in a purple robe, looked calm and composed, with a thick and solid Blood Qi surging within him, exerting a sense of pressure even while sitting.
Below.
An old man from the Security Bureau gritted his teeth and said, "We went to take over the Black Water Gang’s properties, but we’re short on manpower, and there are issues with Black Water Gang’s assets and real estate.
So those major gangs sent people to occupy them, claiming it’s their property; we can’t do anything about it."
Upon hearing these words.
Baiyu showed no expression: ’You may leave now.’
After the old man from the Security Bureau left, he let out a slow breath.
He just feared these bastards would hold back, not taking over.
Now.
It saved him a substantial amount of effort.
Qiong Xue, seeing his expression, knew he had an idea, and couldn’t help but ask:
"The remaining five major forces seem to have sensed the danger and are trending towards forming an alliance.
What do you plan to do next?"
If he still plans to deal with them like the Black Water Gang, the Anomaly Bureau and Armed Department might be the first to disagree.
The first time this was done, Baiyu merely took a clever advantage.
Upon first arrival.
Both departments turned a blind eye, giving some deference.
"We’ll take it gradually; isn’t the Chen Family the head among the five major forces? Let’s start with them.
Let’s see if these Chen Family people can truly understand the situation."
Baiyu said.
