Da D replied: "Of course I remember—help is help; Victory Harmony can't do anything else—if they don't submit, we'll beat them into submission."

Li Xin heard the words, happily laughed; he liked brothers who help kin over principle, not distinguishing right from wrong, directly backing him.

The laughter paused, then he said: "This news was let out by Lin Huai Le; everyone damn thinks they're smart, treating others as fools."

"Aside from him, only I and Jianguo know about this; that bastard repays kindness with enmity."

"If I don't give him a taste of his own medicine, he won't know what pain is; this time it's just a small lesson."

"If he dares to play dirty tricks against me, I'll wipe him out, so he can't even stay in Kowloon City, let him go to the New Territories to pick up cow dung!"

Da D heard Li Xin's retelling, then directly cursed: "Let that bastard die! A Xin, you're right; damn it, Harmony United Victory has nothing good!"

"Then let's do that; let that loser wait, I'll damn cut the phone line and sleep, wait until he's dead, then talk about anything else."

Da D hung up the phone, his expression still somewhat indignant; inside and out, Da D still distinguishes clearly, A Xin is his brother.

Who is Lin Huai Le?

Just a nobody!

Da D's wife looked at Da D and asked: "What's wrong? Why are you still angry?"

Da D repeated Li Xin's words, then asked: "You say damn Harmony United Victory can still be okay? If nothing happens, they scheme against their own people, always thinking of their own little tricks."

"A Xin helped them, yet they repay kindness with enmity! Although this matter isn't big, it still annoys people."

Da D's wife snorted, saying: "You already knew what Harmony United Victory is like, didn't you? That's why you follow the rules."

"If it were you in A Xin's place, do you think Harmony United Victory would have anyone left?"

"They'd all have to emigrate to the sea, yet still let them ride on our heads to act high and mighty? Impossible! They wouldn't even have a chance!"

Da D——

Kowloon City and Harmony United Victory turf.

A Le waited left and right, but still didn't get Da D's call; he simply couldn't wait any longer!

He picked up the phone and called Da D, but a busy tone came from the line.

A Le hung up the phone; he already knew the result, reconciliation was impossible, so he could only fight!

Jianghu folks still need strong fists; otherwise, alliances and stratagems are just a joke—who would listen to your empty talk?

Only by making a name through fighting do you earn the right to speak; otherwise, you can only stay silent!

Xi Yan glanced at the time; it was already past three in the morning.

Then he loudly said: "Withdraw troops! Continue tomorrow night, damn it, even a dog dares to bark at me—then I'll kill him."

A Le was annoyed to death by Xi Yan, but he had no way out; they just dragged him along, not giving their all.

As long as he dares to support Pointy Sand Spit, Xi Yan will surely seize his territory; now Kowloon City is turbulent, he dare not be careless!

Dragon City Gang took the walled city, seized the gang's turf; the gang was directly routed, unable to fight back.

Now in Kowloon City, the two most powerful forces are Prosperity's Xi Yan and Dragon City Gang's Xin Yi; none are easy to provoke!

Pointy Sand Spit.

East Prosperity's Capturing Dragon Tiger Situ Haonan is now full of vigor, waving a broadsword.

He shouted loudly: "Give it your all! Destroy the remnants of Harmony United Victory!"

A Le's personal aide A Xin looked at Huo Niu and asked: "Huo Niu brother, when will Big Brother's reinforcements arrive? We can't hold out!"

Huo Niu looked at the battlefield, helplessly said: "Withdraw! A Le can't make it; we've held on as long as we can."

Da Tou had been hacked several times, muttering: "When brothers are in trouble, we must help, money, silver, water, and feet—no amount spared, each giving their all; if anyone neglects this, they will be struck down by five thunders."

Huo Niu pulled Da Tou up, cursing: "You damn idiot! Did Gao Lao send you over to recite the gang rules?"

"Hurry up and withdraw; we can't hold on—if we don't leave now, we'll all be left behind!"

Da Tou seemed stimulated, still reciting the gang rules: "When brothers are insulted or beaten, we must step forward."

Help those in the right, advise those in the wrong; for those repeatedly bullied, we shall inform the brothers, discuss solutions, or each contribute money and wealth, or lend our strength to contend for them; if we have no money, we contribute effort.

Do not feign ignorance; if anyone violates, the Five Thunders will punish and exterminate.

Huo Niu's fiery vigor also rose, and a slap landed on Da Tou's face.

He opened his mouth and angrily scolded: "Damn it! If everyone followed the gang rules, would there still be fights in the martial world?"
