Chapter 69: Forming a Gang

"Form a gang?"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Wang Fuhai.

Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately thought of the Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu brothers; they were the ones with a gang, and their leader was Ouyang Lie.

It was precisely because of the gang and Ouyang Lie's backing, as well as Ouyang Lie's orders, that they dared to cause trouble for him repeatedly, even trying to kill him.

Wasn't he trying to cultivate his own power?

Wouldn't a gang be a perfect choice?

Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at Wang Fuhai with fiery eyes and said excitedly, "Can we form a gang? How do we form one?"

"Of course we can!" Wang Fuhai nodded, raised three fingers, and said, "It's very simple. Forming a gang boils down to people, land, and rules..."

People refers to a group of like-minded brothers serving as the gang's backbone.

Land refers to the gang needing a base, generally in Profound Tianzhen; renting or buying a courtyard will do.

Rules refers to the need to establish a gang organizational framework and gang regulations...

Wang Fuhai spoke gently, explaining some basic situations about gangs. In fact, he had long had the idea of forming a gang, but his strength was low, he had no connections in Profound Tianmen, and if he formed one, it would be annexed by other gangs, making it not worth the loss.

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded; it was indeed simple. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Do we need a business license or some kind of operating permit?"

Wang Fuhai was stunned and asked in confusion, "What are a business license and an operating permit?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo explained, "Uh... it's various procedures. For example, just as we need to handle entry procedures at the Liang Zhishi Pavilion to become outer disciples, does forming a gang require approval from the Liang Zhishi Pavilion?"

Wang Fuhai shook his head repeatedly and laughed, "No need, no need. The sect doesn't manage these things, of course, provided we don't violate sect rules."

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Renwu and the others and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you want to join us?"

"This..."

Zhao Renwu hesitated for a moment. In fact, he didn't want to join because, judging by the current situation, if this gang were formed, the leader's position certainly wouldn't be his; the most likely outcome would be Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Am I to obey someone else? Be Facing Facing Cang Luo's subordinate?

No way!

However, Zhao Renwu saw that the seven or eight underlings beside him were all looking at him with expectation, clearly wanting him to agree.

Zhao Renwu knew it was hard to go against the wishes of the crowd, so he smiled and said, "Alright!"

Wang Fuhai nodded as if expecting this and continued, "Then let's discuss the gang's preliminary framework now."

Saying this, he stepped forward a few paces to act as the host, and everyone spontaneously formed a circle around him.

Glancing at everyone, Wang Fuhai said to himself, "I will provide the gang base. Although I can't afford to buy one, renting for a year or two is no problem. Afterwards, it will rely on the gang's funds."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly and praised Wang Fuhai's generosity. In fact, the gang base could only be funded by him, simply because land prices in Profound Tianzhen were extremely high, ridiculously so.

To put it in Earth terms, the houses in Profound Tianzhen are school-district housing, the shops are university supermarkets, and the restaurants are university cafeterias.

If merchants want to settle in these golden locations, how could they not be expensive?

Wang Fuhai continued, "The gang base is a small matter; what's important is the leader position. A good leader is like a good general; he can lead us to victory everywhere and lead the gang to grow and prosper.

Therefore, we need someone with strong strength, great prestige, high moral character, and a calm, steady personality to be the leader."

Saying this, he scanned the crowd again and finally fixed his gaze on Facing Facing Cang Luo, looking full of admiration as he said, "I suggest Brother Facing Facing Cang Luo become the leader. Does anyone have any objections?"

After he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Facing Facing Cang Luo. The choice for leader was actually within everyone's expectations; after all, how could Facing Facing Cang Luo not be chosen given his outstanding performance today?

First, he defeated Chen Dahu and Zhang Tao who came to snatch territory; later, he thoroughly beat the talented disciples of Confucius Academy.

He has the strongest strength and the highest prestige now; if he doesn't be the leader, who will?

Facing Facing Cang Luo was secretly delighted but quickly shook his head and said, "No, no. I entered the sect late, and my seniority is not as great as that of my senior brothers..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Fuhai immediately said, "Brother Cang's strength is obvious to all. Who among us is stronger than him? I won't repeat it.

As for moral character, there's nothing to say. Brother Cang is willing to selflessly teach us his family's fist technique, the Military Boxing. Doesn't this reflect his character?

If Brother Cang doesn't be the leader, who will? Everyone, don't you agree?"

In fact, there was one most critical point Wang Fuhai didn't mention: he discovered that Facing Facing Cang Luo's relationship with the Sect Master's daughter, Seeing Xuan Qingqing, was extraordinary. Although he didn't know what the relationship was, it was definitely a good thing.

Facing Facing Cang Luo's relationship with Seeing Xuan Qingqing was the main reason Wang Fuhai suddenly proposed forming a gang and letting Facing Facing Cang Luo be the leader. He wanted to build a good relationship with Facing Facing Cang Luo through the gang, and then see if he could also build a connection with Seeing Xuan Qingqing...

Wang Fuhai was making his calculations, and the others were not stupid; they each had their own agendas.

"We have no objections. If Senior Brother Cang doesn't be the leader, who has the ability to be the leader?" Gan Lei, He Cheng, and several other disciples who had just joined Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded in agreement.

Li Zhanxing, Liu Xuande, and others glanced at Cang Feng. Seeing Cang Feng nod, they also agreed that Facing Facing Cang Luo should be the leader.

Finally, everyone looked at Zhao Renwu and the others, waiting for his opinion.

Zhao Renwu did not state his position immediately. He looked at the eight people who still followed his lead, including his clan younger brother Zhao Renli.

These people had known him for a relatively long time and often went on missions together. Zhao Renwu had taken good care of them, and a brotherly bond had developed; they would not switch to someone else just because someone was stronger than him, Zhao Renwu.

Unlike He Cheng and the others, who left him immediately upon seeing that Facing Facing Cang Luo was stronger than him.

Zhao Renwu felt quite helpless. Now Facing Facing Cang Luo's prestige was at its peak; he was the strongest among the three dormitories, and Wang Pangzi also seemed to want to curry favor with him. Under these circumstances, how could I refuse?

Heh! If you want to be the leader, then be the leader. Let's see how long you can hold onto that leader position.

You are twenty-two years old and only at Warrior Stage 7. With your useless talent, we will surpass you before long. When that time comes, who will listen to what you say?

As he thought this, Zhao Renwu's eyes suddenly lit up. He realized this might be an opportunity for his own rise.

When a gang is first built, the first batch of members are the backbone. As the gang develops, these backbone members will wield more and more power, and their positions will become higher and higher.

This first batch of backbone members currently numbers thirty, of whom nearly one-third are my people.

If I can suppress Facing Facing Cang Luo in the future, or even drive him out and seize the leader position for myself, then wouldn't this gang be mine?

Haha! He is making a wedding dress for me!

Hmm, what I need to do now is strive for the highest possible position when the gang is first established, preferably the vice-leader, so I can secretly develop my own power.

After thinking it through clearly, Zhao Renwu looked deeply at Facing Facing Cang Luo, then smiled and said, "Brother Wang is right. If Senior Brother Cang doesn't be the leader, who will be the leader? After the gang is established, we will definitely follow the lead of Leader Cang!"

Wang Fuhai nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Brother Cang, look, all the senior brothers agree that you should be this leader. Please don't decline."

"Uh... then alright!" Facing Facing Cang Luo pretended to be reluctant, but in his heart, he was already overjoyed.

With the position of Gang Leader settled, Wang Fuhai added, "Excellent! Now, let us invite Brother Cang—no, the Gang Leader—to name our gang, and then decide on the candidates for the other positions."

"The gang's name?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Let us call it 'War Wolf'!"

"War Wolf?"

"War Wolf Gang?"

Everyone murmured the name softly, wondering why Facing Facing Cang Luo chose such a name, as wolves were not particularly powerful demonic beasts.

As far as they knew, the most powerful wolf-like demonic beast was merely a Fifth-Rank demonic beast.

Why not call it War Dragon? The dragon is a Holy Beast!

Wang Fuhai asked curiously, "Gang Leader, why 'War Wolf'? Is there a special meaning? Could it be because the Gang Leader's beast companion is a wolf-like demonic beast?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo shook his head and said firmly, "The wolf is a pack-dwelling demonic beast. Whether resting or going out to forage, they always move in groups.

They fight together, eat meat together, live together, and die together, bound as brothers."

Upon hearing this, many understood what Facing Facing Cang Luo intended to express. Liu Xuande shouted loudly, "Brother Cang wishes to say that unity is strength?

Choosing the name 'War Wolf' is to tell us that all gang members are brothers?"

"Brother Xuande speaks the truth!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and continued, "As the saying goes, 'A lone wolf dies, the pack survives.' I chose this name so that everyone would always remember this principle.

We must ensure that we share meat together, drink wine together, and face difficulties together.

Only then can the War Wolf Gang be invincible and achieve sustainable development..."

After hearing Facing Facing Cang Luo's explanation, everyone's eyes lit up. They loudly praised Facing Facing Cang Luo for choosing a good name with a profound meaning, and thus the gang's name was settled.

Next came the decision on the other gang positions besides the Gang Leader, but Facing Facing Cang Luo had no idea what positions a gang should have, so he could only ask Wang Fuhai.

Wang Fuhai introduced, "According to the tradition of our Xuantian Gate's inner and outer disciples, a gang has one Gang Leader responsible for overall coordination and leading the members into battle.

There are also two Vice Gang Leaders; one manages the gang's supplies and is called the Internal Affairs Vice Gang Leader.

The other manages the gang's daily affairs and is called the Daily Affairs Vice Gang Leader."

Pausing, Wang Fuhai took a sip of wine and continued, "Then there are the Left and Right Guardians, as well as the Hall Masters of the four halls: Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Black Tortoise. Other positions can be decided once the gang grows stronger."

"I see."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded; this organizational structure was somewhat similar to Xuantian Gate, likely copied from Xuantian Gate.

Hmm, who should be chosen for those two Vice Gang Leader positions?

Facing Facing Cang Luo scanned the crowd, and everyone instinctively puffed out their chests and straightened their backs.

Finally, Facing Facing Cang Luo's gaze stopped on Wang Fuhai, and he said, "Brother Wang's cultivation is the highest among us, and he has contributed greatly by providing the gang's base.

Therefore, let Brother Wang Fuhai serve as the Internal Affairs Vice Gang Leader, responsible for managing the gang's supplies. What does everyone think?"

Everyone looked at each other and expressed no objections; they were quite convinced by Wang Fuhai.

Although he was from another dormitory, he had money! Not only did he provide the base for the gang, but he would also provide various consumables for future trials. For a gang to develop and grow, it could not lack such a wealthy patron.

After the Internal Affairs Vice Gang Leader was decided, Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at the crowd again to select the Daily Affairs Vice Gang Leader.

According to Wang Fuhai, the Internal Affairs Vice Gang Leader manages supplies, equivalent to the Finance Department, a combination of accountant, cashier, and warehouse keeper, which is extremely important.

The Daily Affairs Vice Gang Leader, responsible for managing the gang's daily affairs including task allocation and training for members, is also extremely important, equivalent to a Prime Minister.

Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly froze; how was it that this Gang Leader seemed to manage nothing?

What power does a Gang Leader have?

Could it be that before the gang was even established, this Gang Leader had already been sidelined?

You Wang Fuhai, Wang Pangzi! Aren't fat people supposed to be broad-minded?

What, are you fat on the outside but black-hearted?
