Chapter 50: Da B Lodges a Complaint

In Central, Gangdao, at the Great Prosperity main hall.

It was time again for the Triad Society's general meeting.

A month had passed since the last general meeting.

Chen Mo arrived once more at the Great Prosperity main hall, feeling things were vastly different now.

Last time he came, he was just a lowly Forty-Niner without even a territory; now he had three streets in Wang Jiao.

His strength was relatively strong even among all the Red Poles in Great Prosperity.

When Chen Mo followed Thirteen Sister into the main hall, some of the closer branch leaders had already arrived.

"Thirteen Sister, Ah Mo, you're finally here. Long time no see!" West Ring Brother Ji was as enthusiastic as ever.

"Brother Ji, it's only been a few days!" Thirteen Sister complained weakly.

Chen Mo's bar had only been open for half a month.

Chen Mo smiled and joked with Brother Ji, "Brother Ji, I haven't seen you come by my place these past few days. Did you find some hot chick somewhere else?"

"Wow—you caught me." Brother Ji exaggerated, "I really did find a great place recently, lots of big Western girls came in, all top-shelf goods you can't get one hand around, even their hair is golden. I'll take you another day!"

"Is that for real, Brother Ji? After the meeting, you've got to take me to check it out!"

Chen Mo gave Brother Ji a look that every man understood.

"Damn, can't you stinky men talk about anything else?"

Seeing Chen Mo and Brother Ji exchanging glances, Thirteen Sister was speechless.

Chen Mo smiled and joked with Thirteen Sister, "Sister Mei, you can come too. I'll pick up the tab for you!"

Just then, Da B slammed the table and shouted angrily at Chen Mo, "Chen Mo, about Da Tou's matter, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Da B's outburst instantly froze the cheerful atmosphere in the main hall, and many people turned to look.

Chen Mo's smile faded as he turned to Da B, "Brother Da B, did Da Tou do something to offend you? Maybe you should be clearer?"

"Offend me? If it were just offending me, that'd be fine!" Da B stood up and yelled at Chen Mo, "Everyone knows Da Tou was my subordinate, so how did he end up with you!"

Chen Mo denied it, "Brother Da B, there must be some misunderstanding. Da Tou has been with me for almost a month, and I never heard he used to follow you."

Chen Mo really hadn't expected Da B to be so brainless, confronting him about Da Tou in front of everyone.

Where did he get the nerve?

When a subordinate leaves you, shouldn't you think about whether you did something wrong?

The guy did three years in prison for him, and he ignored him completely—was that something good to spread around?

Brother Ji also stepped in to mediate, "Exactly, Da B, could it be a different person with the same name? How could Ah Mo poach your subordinate!"

"Same name? I saw him with my own eyes in Wang Jiao. That was Da Tou, real name Yang Tian, my brother." Chen Hao Nan stood behind Da B and said.

"Is that so?" Chen Mo glanced sideways at Chen Hao Nan, "Da Tou has plenty of brothers. But I didn't know he had a brother like you."

"We were brothers over ten years ago. Back then, you weren't even around!" Chen Hao Nan said arrogantly.

He had joined Great Prosperity much earlier than Chen Mo, so he was a senior in front of Chen Mo.

Of course, seniority was all he had to show off.

Chen Mo didn't even want to bother with him. He looked at Da B and said in a low voice, "Brother Da B, Da Tou is my brother now, and he'll always be my brother.

As for the past, let it go. We can all get along peacefully, can't we?"

"Hmph, you dig into my turf and still want peace? Who do you think you are?"

"Da B, I'm giving you face. Don't be so shameless." Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, staring at Da B.

"How dare you talk to Brother Da B like that!"

Chen Hao Nan and the four subordinates behind him all stood up and rushed to attack Chen Mo.

Chen Mo kicked Chen Hao Nan, who was in front, straight back. If not for Shan Ji and the others catching him, he would have hit the floor.

"Starting a fight in the main hall? You've got some nerve!"

Chen Mo spoke first, pinning the blame on the Causeway Bay Five Tigers, choking Da B before he could even speak.

"Exactly, Da B. You really need to discipline your subordinates.

He's just a Forty-Niner, and he dares to attack a Red Pole in the main hall. If he gets promoted someday, will he come after us branch leaders?"

Jingkun, wearing a flashy red suit, staggered into the main hall and looked at Da B with disdain.

"Ah Mo, truly a reincarnation of the Overlord, your skills are excellent. Guys like this who don't know their place deserve a good lesson."

Da B was annoyed just seeing Jingkun and said coldly, "Jingkun, this is between me and Chen Mo. It's none of your business. Don't meddle."

"If the road's uneven, someone smooths it. If things aren't fair, someone steps in."

Jingkun shot Da B a sideways glance and sat down in his seat.

"What's not fair? Why not say it out loud and let everyone judge?"

Jiang Tiansheng, accompanied by Chen Yao, walked in from the door with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

All the branch leaders and Red Poles stood up.

"Everyone, sit down. Relax, no need to be so formal." Jiang Tiansheng sat in the Dragon Head seat and gestured for everyone to sit.

"Just now, Ah Kun said something wasn't fair?

Our Great Prosperity is a united, fair, and just Triad Society. If anyone feels something's unfair, speak up, and the Society will back you up."

Hearing this, Da B stood up and complained, "Mr. Jiang, Da Tou, who's under Chen Mo, everyone knows he was my subordinate. Now he's gone to Chen Mo. Shouldn't he give me an explanation?

Da Tou betrayed his boss—shouldn't he be severely punished?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and looked at Chen Mo, who was sitting behind Thirteen Sister. "Chen Mo, is what Da B said true? We're all from Great Prosperity. Poaching from a fellow member is indeed inappropriate."

"Mr. Jiang, there must be some misunderstanding. Ah Mo isn't that kind of person."

Thirteen Sister spoke up first to defend Chen Mo.

"Mr. Jiang." Chen Mo stood up, "Let me explain this to everyone."

Chen Mo looked at Da B standing beside the conference table: "Brother Da B, I didn't want to say it earlier; I was giving you face. Since you don't want it, don't blame me."

"Da Tou was indeed your lackey three years ago, but how you treated Da Tou—you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"What do you mean?" Da B heard Chen Mo's words, as if recalling something, his expression changed.

"Da Tou took the blame for you, went to Chi Zhu, and spent three years there—have you ever gone to see him even once?"

"Da Tou spent three years in Chi Zhu—have you sent someone to check on his family?"

"When Da Tou came out of Chi Zhu, did you send someone to pick him up?"

"It's been a few months since Da Tou left Chi Zhu—have you thought of him?"
