Chapter 201: Seizing Territory

A few minutes later, Chen Mo drove to Jingkun's territory.

Gao Jin was confronting Prince Ma Wangjian with a few hundred underlings.

"Prince, Ma Wangjian, what do you mean?"

Chen Mo stepped in front of Gao Jin.

Compared with the Prince and Ma Wangjian, Gao Jin's status was a notch lower.

Ma Wangjian chuckled, "Ah Mo, don't misunderstand. We heard something happened in Wang Jiao, and we were worried other Triad Societies would cause trouble, so we brought people to support you!"

Chen Mo snorted coldly, "Ma Wangjian, don't think I don't know what kind of crazy scheme you're up to."

"This is Wang Jiao; I'm the top boss here. Having my people here is enough; we don't need your support."

"Ah Mo, you can't say it like that! Something huge happened on Jingkun's territory; we're all brothers of Great Prosperity, so lending a hand is the right thing to do.

Besides, this is such a large territory; your people alone might not be able to hold it."

"Whether it can be held or not is none of your concern," Chen Mo said coldly.

"If you don't leave now, I'll take it as you trying to plant a flag in Wang Jiao."

The Prince retorted, "What's wrong with planting a flag in Wang Jiao? Didn't you plant one in Jianshazui yourself?"

"Prince, are you confused? I planted a flag in Jianshazui, but I didn't plant one on your territory!"

"What, you want members of the same sect to kill each other?"

"This isn't your territory either!" the Prince shouted.

"But this is Great Prosperity's territory!" Chen Mo's voice rose louder than the Prince's.

"What, you Great Prosperity top boss, trying to rebel against superiors and forcibly seize the Dragon Head's territory?"

Chen Mo's words left the Prince and Ma Wangjian speechless.

Did they know about Jingkun's death? Of course they did.

But could they say it? Certainly not.

Since Jingkun's death hasn't been made public yet, if they claimed they knew he was dead while bringing so many people here to seize the territory, they'd be implying to everyone that Jingkun's death is linked to them.

"Ah Mo, you can't say that recklessly!" Ma Wangjian, startled by Chen Mo's words, quickly spoke before the Prince.

"We're just here to help; since you're already here, we'll leave right away.

If you need anything, give us a call!"

Having said that, they pulled the reluctant Prince and were about to leave.

Since Jingkun's death hasn't spread, Jiang Tiansheng still can't appear openly, and they truly have no legitimate reason to forcibly seize Jingkun's territory.

Moreover, the number they brought wasn't large—at most six or seven hundred people.

Originally, their plan was to get ahead of everyone and take over Jingkun's territory.

By the time Jingkun's death became known and others reacted, everything would already be settled.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared midway, and Chen Mo was a step ahead of them.

Besides, Wang Jiao is Chen Mo's territory, and he brought even more people.

Not to mention Chen Mo's underlings are famously good fighters.

In name they don't have the upper hand, and in battle they can't win.

Their scheme fell through; why stay here any longer!

Under Chen Mo's cold stare, Ma Wangjian hauled the Prince and ordered his underlings to withdraw.

After they left, Chen Mo turned to Gao Jin and asked, "Ah Jin, how's the takeover of the territory going?"

"Except for a few places that have been sealed off, the rest of the territory has been mostly taken over."

Chen Mo nodded, "Good. Contact the owners behind those places, tell them Jingkun is dead, and let them handle the sealed‑off matters themselves.

Also, for Jingkun's remaining underlings, kick out the weaklings and the deadbeats, and try to absorb the rest."

Gao Jin nodded, "Understood; Ah Sheng's crew is already absorbing them."

"That's good!"

Gao Jin is always very thorough; some things he does without Chen Mo even mentioning them.

After handing all the matters here over to Gao Jin, Chen Mo returned to the bar.

Soon after, Shen Guodong and Ahua also came back.

Ahua handed a stack of photos to Chen Mo.

"Mo Ge, these are the photos I just developed."

Chen Mo took the photos, looked at them; though a bit dark, they were clear, and the faces were easily recognizable.

Even the license plates of several nearby cars were captured.

"Have you located these people's hideouts?"

Shen Guodong nodded, "Found them; a few brothers have been watching continuously. But these people don't seem to be from the Bay Island; they all speak Gangdao dialect."

Chen Mo put the photos away and said, "It's fine; I've already guessed whose people they are. Just keep watching them; don't stir up a snake in the grass."

After Shen Guodong and Ahua left, Chen Mo pulled out his phone, ignoring that it was already late at night, and called Da Fei directly.

Since becoming the top boss of Causeway Bay, Da Fei has been riding high, partying every night, living a very carefree life.

When he received Chen Mo's call, he was having a blast in a bar.

"Da Fei, this is Chen Mo."

Da Fei turned off the music in the private room, chased all his nearby underlings out, and then said, "Mo Ge, what orders do you have?"

"I need to borrow troops—three hundred men—to guard my Jianshazui territory for a while!" Chen Mo got straight to the point.

"No way, Mo Ge, you're still short of men? Besides, who would dare to provoke you?"

"Jingkun is dead; my people are cleaning up the mess on Jingkun's territory. Send your men over as a precaution."

"Damn! What's going on?" Chen Mo's words made Da Fei jump, his slight intoxication instantly cleared.

Jingkun's territory had been swept clean by the police, he heard about it, but it had nothing to do with him, he didn't take it seriously.

I never expected Jingkun to actually die.

Was it the United Triad who did it? Or the police?

You don't need to worry about this; I'll talk to you later. First, take your people to Jianshazui.

Alright, I'll bring my people over right away.

Da Fei is the most loyal; last time Chen Mo helped him secure the boss position in Copper Gong Bay, and he has been looking for a chance to repay the favor.

This time Chen Mo borrowed troops, and he agreed without even mentioning payment.

After you bring your people there, contact A Long; he's currently guarding that area with his men.

After hanging up with Da Fei, Chen Mo then called Han Bin and, with just a few words, borrowed five hundred men.

All of Jingkun's territory fell into Chen Mo's hands, making him the person who benefited the most from Jingkun's death.

Chen Mo felt Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't let it go, and might even take this opportunity to stir up some trouble.

Furthermore, once the news of Jingkun's death spreads, other Triad Societies might take advantage and loot.

However, with Da Fei's three hundred men and Han Bin's five hundred men supporting him, Chen Mo feels confident facing any trouble.

As long as he holds out these few days, once Jingkun's subordinates are mostly absorbed, Chen Mo will no longer have to worry about lacking manpower.

A few hours later, it dawned, and a new day began.

The news of Jingkun's death spread through the jianghu at an extremely rapid pace.

However, regarding Jingkun's death, two versions have emerged in the jianghu.

Some say Jingkun was killed by the United Triad, while others, combining last night's police sweep of Jingkun's territory, believe he was beaten to death by the police.

No one at all connected this matter to Jiang Tiansheng.
