Chapter 76: Gang Meeting
The threat from an unknown call left Facing Facing Cang Luo powerless; he could only pray that Feng Lin Huo Shan would protect his family.
The only thing he could do was cultivate, strive to increase his strength, wait for the two worlds to connect, return to Earth, and find a way to break the deadlock.
Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly thought: if he told Elder Xuan now that his phone could connect to Earth, would Elder Xuan forgive him?
Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment, then decided against it.
If Elder Xuan discovered the phone only worked when touching his body, he would surely confine him and use him as the phone's antenna.
Confinement would be the best outcome; he feared Elder Xuan might turn him into a vegetable...
Just thinking about it terrified Facing Facing Cang Luo, so he decisively abandoned the idea of telling Xuan Tianmen about the phone.
Between dying early or dying late, Facing Facing Cang Luo naturally chose the latter; anyway, Elder Xuan wouldn't figure out the teleportation array that quickly. Let's deal with it next year; perhaps things will work out when the boat reaches the bridge.
Facing Facing Cang Luo's melancholy expression made Gan Lei, walking half a step behind him, feel somewhat uneasy.
Before long, the two arrived at their destination. From afar, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw Wang Fuhai, Li Zhanxing, and others waving at him, while He Cheng, Zhang Yan, and others ran straight toward him.
Facing Facing Cang Luo waved back, then suddenly noticed the number of people present today was nearly half again as many as last time, including three female disciples, likely recruited by Wang Fuhai and the others.
Good, the more people, the better.
Hmm?
Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly stopped, gazing intently at the three female disciples; Xiang Xiang Yunjiao was actually among them. Was she joining the War Wolf Gang too?
Seeing Xiang Xiang Yunjiao, Facing Facing Cang Luo felt a surge of joy and unconsciously quickened his pace.
At that moment, He Cheng and others jogged up to Facing Facing Cang Luo. He Cheng exclaimed happily, "Senior Brother Cang, has your seclusion ended?"
Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded. He had been studying arrays during this period, though he told them he was in seclusion.
Actually, that wasn't wrong; Facing Facing Cang Luo had spent his nights cultivating the second layer of Meiti Shengong...
As everyone walked and chatted, He Cheng added, "Senior Brother Cang, everyone is here. The five from Xin Yi 755 dormitory who were out that day have also arrived, plus twenty-five new members, all at the Wu Shi realm."
"Hmm, so the War Wolf Gang currently has...? Excellent."
Facing Facing Cang Luo was very satisfied. Sixty people was just right for now, and having three girls would greatly help the gang's cohesion.
As the saying goes, men and women working together make the work less tiring.
"However..." He Cheng, walking on Facing Facing Cang Luo's left, hesitated.
"However what?" Facing Facing Cang Luo noticed He Cheng had the potential of a secretary and decided he could be cultivated.
He Cheng frowned and said, "However, most of the twenty-five newcomers were recommended by Senior Brother Zhao Renwu. Senior Brother Zhao bringing so many people at once clearly means he is determined to secure the position of Vice Gang Leader."
Gan Lei and others nodded in agreement. He Cheng continued, "After these people joined the gang, Zhao Renwu's faction will account for nearly half..."
Speaking softly, he added, "Senior Brother Cang, I worry Zhao Renwu will grow too powerful in the future, affecting your control over the gang..."
After He Cheng finished, Facing Facing Cang Luo noticed they all looked at him with worried expressions, clearly fearing he couldn't suppress Zhao Renwu and worried about being sidelined by him.
But was that even possible?
Did Zhao Renwu think having more people meant he could contest power with him?
Facing Facing Cang Luo was not worried at all; he had already thought of this problem and had a solution.
There were two solutions.
The first solution: as long as he maintained the highest combat power in the entire gang, led the members in cultivation, led them in flying, gave them benefits, and told the disobedient to get lost, he would hold absolute authority.
Facing Facing Cang Luo believed that with his Earthling physique and the satellite's help, achieving this would not be difficult.
However, this was a bit dictatorial and unfavorable for the gang's development.
Moreover, taking on all the responsibilities himself was very tiring.
The second solution: establish a system that firmly kept power in his hands, a system that must be recognized by everyone, making them convinced and satisfied, including Zhao Renwu.
Although Zhao Renwu had more people, if he wanted to stay in the War Wolf Gang, he must act according to this system. Facing Facing Cang Luo would also give him a little sweetness, letting him see the hope of climbing up and replacing himself.
This would keep him in the gang and suppress him, then slowly poach his underlings to become completely loyal to the War Wolf Gang and to himself.
Of course, the second solution also required strength as support, but unlike the first, it wouldn't require taking on everything, making things much easier.
Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Zhao Renwu cannot jump up. The War Wolf Gang belongs to all members collectively.
I intend to build the War Wolf Gang into a safe and warm great family, not someone's private garden. No one can claim this great family as their own, including me."
He Cheng and others did not quite understand Facing Facing Cang Luo's words. A gang as a great family? And belonging to everyone, not the Gang Leader?
While they were puzzled, Facing Facing Cang Luo and the others met with the crowd. Everyone stood up and bowed to Facing Facing Cang Luo; some said, "Greetings, Gang Leader," while others said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Cang."
Facing Facing Cang Luo bowed back to each one, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and two other quite attractive girls standing in the crowd.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
These two girls were also curvy figures; one had shoulder-length hair and an oval face, with fair skin, looking like a gentle, sweet neighborhood sister.
The other had a ponytail, a spirited demeanor, and wheat-colored skin that radiated youth and vitality.
Especially the navel she exposed outside her clothes added a wild touch to her; she was probably a spicy girl.
Facing Facing Cang Luo hadn't had intimate contact with girls for a long time. Seeing three girls now, his fingers twitched with desire and his mind wandered, but he quickly calmed down.
There were so many people here, all future subordinates. He must maintain the image of a gentleman, not give anyone a chance to find fault, and set a good example.
Moreover, beauty brings disaster; it was better to have less contact.
However, asking for their names should be fine, right?
Facing Facing Cang Luo withdrew his thoughts and walked toward Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the other two, preparing to greet them.
But just then, Zhao Renli suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Gang Leader, has the candidate for the position of Vice Gang Leader been decided?"
Although Zhao Renli was asking, Facing Facing Cang Luo noticed his tone held no hint of inquiry; he looked completely confident.
Was he so certain I would choose Zhao Renwu?
Facing Facing Cang Luo frowned slightly without showing emotion and turned to look at Zhao Renwu.
At that moment, Zhao Renwu was chatting happily with over twenty outer disciples beside him. Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo look over, he also looked at Facing Facing Cang Luo with a kind expression, though he was secretly sneering in his heart.
Hmph!
If you won't let me be the Permanent Vice-Gang Leader, then you take your sunny path and we'll take our single-log bridge. The gang hasn't even been officially established yet, and half the members are already gone. Let's see how you'll remain the Gang Leader...
Facing Facing Cang Luo counted. Good heavens, including Zhao Renwu and Zhao Renli, this faction had twenty-four people, actually exceeding one-third of the gang's total membership.
He Cheng hadn't exaggerated; nearly half were Zhao Renwu's people.
Damn! The gang hasn't even been officially established, and they're already forming cliques to this extent?
Facing Facing Cang Luo took a deep breath, then turned to look at Cang Feng and the others, discovering their numbers had also grown. There were ten in total; the five extra were from the Xin Yiqi Five Dormitory.
He looked at Wang Fuhai again; he also had twelve people.
Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately felt a throbbing headache. The gang had only sixty people in total.
Zhao Renwu: twenty-four people.
Wang Fuhai: twelve people.
Cang Feng: ten people.
This Gang Leader only has eleven? Although not the least, it's close enough.
The remaining three, Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the others, seemed to form their own faction, joining neither side, which made Facing Facing Cang Luo breathe a sigh of relief.
I must win the girls over. Only with girls in the team can we attract male creatures.
Facing Facing Cang Luo glanced around at everyone, did not answer Zhao Renli's question directly, but pressed his hand down to signal everyone to look over.
Then he spoke loudly: "We have gathered here today for this very matter. Fellow disciples, rest assured; I have already made a decision in my heart.
Whether it is the selection of the Permanent Vice-Gang Leader or the future development and planning of the gang, I will give you a satisfactory answer today, making War Wolf shake the Profound Heaven Gate..."
