"Left Hand, call the other societies immediately and ask them what the situation is."

Hong Renjiu panted and said.

"Jiu Ge, are you okay?"

Left Hand walked over and patted Hong Renjiu on the back.

"I'm fine, hurry up and call."

Hong Renjiu urged.

"Okay."

Seeing that Hong Renjiu was indeed fine, Left Hand then called the other societies.

After a round of calls, Left Hand's face became increasingly ugly.

"Jiu Ge, I asked; the people from other societies also fell into Ni Yongyao's ambush, and no one escaped."

Left Hand swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, no longer having the confidence he had just now.

Hearing this, Hong Renjiu put down his phone dejectedly and leaned back on the sofa, motionless.

"Jiu Ge?"

Left Hand was startled.

Hong Renjiu was silent for a full few minutes before sighing and saying: "Ni Yongyao was able to swallow three thousand people in one bite; I underestimated him before."

Hong Renjiu had already looked up to Ni Yongyao enough; otherwise, he wouldn't have united with other societies to form a defensive alliance, but now he realized he had still underestimated Ni Yongyao's strength.

"Jiu Ge, what should we do now?"

Left Hand also panicked.

"There's no way; starting from today, no one in Hong Kong can compete with Ni Yongyao."

Hong Renjiu shook his head and said.

At this moment, Hong Renjiu felt some regret in his heart; if he had known Ni Yongyao's true strength earlier, he shouldn't have formed this alliance in the first place.

But it was too late to say anything now.

"It's just a Jordan..."

Left Hand said in disbelief.

"Jordan is not important; what's important is that so many of our societies have had almost all their mobile forces resolved. In the future, Ni Yongyao will have no scruples about which society he wants to move against, and no one will be able to send reinforcements."

Hong Renjiu said helplessly.

Originally intending to support Jordan, who would have thought that three thousand people would be buried in one go? For any society, this was an extremely painful loss.

"With Ni Yongyao's strength, facing any society is a crushing blow, even for us."

Hong Renjiu said.

"Damn it, at worst I'll find some Big Circle Boys, put on bombs, and go to Tsim Sha Tsui to blow Ni Yongyao to death!"

Left Hand gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Not to mention whether anyone dares to do this, have you forgotten that Ni Yongyao is the boss of Black Steel International?"

Hong Renjiu reminded.

Hearing this, Left Hand couldn't speak.

The situation before them now was very severe; they couldn't beat Ni Yongyao head-on, and crooked ways wouldn't work either.

"We can't just wait for death, right?"

Left Hand said.

"I have already figured it out; instead of continuing to fight Ni Yongyao, it's better to take a step back."

Hong Renjiu said.

"Take a step back? Where to? You know what kind of person Ni Yongyao is; if you take one step back, he will advance ten steps!"

Left Hand said.

"Leave Hong Kong."

Hong Renjiu said in a deep voice: "Now, no matter what Ni Yongyao wants to do, no one can stop him, and annexing us is only a matter of time.

Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to leave Hong Kong; the savings from these years are enough to enjoy for the rest of our lives."

Wo Liansheng.

Headquarters, conference room.

Deng Bo sat in the main seat, with the branch leaders below.

The room was silent, and everyone's face was filled with panic and restlessness; they had all received the news that the reinforcements had been wiped out.

"Big D, is there still no news from Ah Le?"

Deng Bo broke the silence and asked.

"No, the phone has been unanswered; I'm afraid..."

Big D didn't finish, but everyone knew what "afraid" meant; Jordan had been eaten by Ni Yongyao, and Lin Huaile's fate naturally wouldn't be any better.

"Sigh."

Deng Bo sighed.

There was another long silence in the room.

"Deng Bo, now that Ah Le is missing and Ni Yongyao has taken Jordan, what should we do?"

Dapu Hei asked.

"Fight, we definitely can't win; we can only negotiate with Ni Yongyao."

Deng Bo paused and said: "Since Ni Yongyao chose to strike at Jordan, it means he has already set his sights on Wo Liansheng, and he will likely attack other territories next.

We must reach an agreement with Ni Yongyao before this; otherwise, if he eats another territory, he might not be willing to talk to us."

"I'm worried that Ni Yongyao doesn't want to talk now."

Big D said.

"There's no way; as things stand, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse."

Deng Bo said.

If they could win, no one would want to compromise, but the problem was that after so many things, no one in Wo Liansheng dared to fight Ni Yongyao head-on.

"Damn Ni Yongyao, clearly he has so many territories, yet he's still not satisfied? What exactly does he want to do? Does he want to be the Viceroy?"

Chuan Bao slapped the table and cursed.

"Perhaps that's really what he thinks."

Deng Bo said.

Once these words were spoken, the room became quiet again.

A few minutes later, Big D asked: "Who will go to negotiate with Ni Yongyao?"

This was a bitter task; at this time, no one wanted to have contact with Ni Yongyao.

After Big D finished speaking, he looked to both sides, but no one met his gaze, and they all turned their heads away.

"Deng Bo, you make the decision."

Big D said.

"It looks like none of you want to go, so let's use the old rule: draw lots."

Deng Bo made the decision.

Soon, a lot container was placed in front of everyone, with more than a dozen long lots inside, most of which were red, with only one black lot.

And the one who drew the black lot had to complete the task for the society; otherwise, they would be executed by family law.

The uncles and branch leaders took turns picking a lot, and seeing they were red, they all revealed smiles of relief.

"Grass..."

Big D looked at the black lot in his hand and squeezed this word out from between his teeth.

At this time, others also noticed Big D.

"Big D, since you drew the lot, the matter of negotiation is left to you."

Deng Bo said.

Big D took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "Understood."

Ni Family Manor.
