Chapter 378

~7 min read 1,323 words

After the three finished their talk, Taizi summoned Guiwang inside.

Pointing at Li Xin, he said: "Your brother Li Xin wants me to step back from Prosperity; from now on, Jianshazui will be entrusted to you to manage. Do you have the confidence to do it well?"

Upon hearing Taizi say that Jianshazui would be handed over to him to manage, Guiwang felt a surge of excitement. How many people out there mixing in the world can become a Leader and a hall chief?

He strove to calm his emotions, trying not to let his joy show too obviously.

Guiwang knew this was the result of his years of struggle, and also the trust and recognition from Big Brother and Li Xin towards him.

He took a deep breath, looked at Taizi, and solemnly said: "Big Brother, rest assured, I will not let you down; I will guard Jianshazui with my life, so that your signboard will not gather dust."

Taizi nodded, patted Guiwang on the shoulder, and said: "I trust you, Guiwang; you are my most capable subordinate and also my most trusted brother."

"From today on, you are the person in charge of Jianshazui; you must work hard and not let me down."

Guiwang nodded and said: "Big Brother, rest assured, I will not let you down."

Guiwang walked out of Taizi's office, his emotions unsettled for a long time.

He knew that from today on, his fate would change.

If nothing goes wrong, in the near future he will become the Leader of Jianshazui, with power and wealth within easy reach!

But he also knew that this did not come easily; he must be more careful in his words and actions, otherwise if Big Brother and Li Xin are dissatisfied, it will all come to nothing.

He decided that from today on, he would strive to align with the Dragon Head; when the Dragon Head says three, no one else can say four.

Well, after all, the Dragon Head and he are of the same generation, both disciples of the venerable Gang, giving him a natural advantage.

After Guiwang left, Li Xin looked at Quanwang Tai, who rubbed his nose and spoke somewhat hesitantly.

"A Xin, Taizi, you also know that I have five close aides; choosing among them is truly difficult!"

"They are all utterly loyal; letting any of them take the post would be hard to explain!"

Li Xin pondered, then said: "Tai brother, I think Huwang is not bad; although his temperament is a bit fiery, he is righteous, and if he rises to power he can treat the other brothers well; your several close aides could also have a good outcome."

"If they don't want to stay in the life, just have them follow you to help at the boxing matches; even one bout with you will ensure they get a meal."

Quanwang Tai nodded, called back to Youmadi, and told them to come to Jianshazui.

Those who received the call immediately drove to the boxing gym.

It's nearby; even walking wouldn't take much time, let alone driving.

The five arrived at Taizi's office and, seeing the three of them, called out: "Big Brother, Taizi brother, Li Xin brother."

Quanwang Tai, like Taizi, pointed at Li Xin and said: "Your brother Li Xin wants me to step out of the gang; this time he summoned you to choose someone to take charge. What do you all say?"

The five exchanged glances, sharing the same thought as Guiwang.

Huwang said: "Big Brother, you are the Leader; whichever you choose is fine for us. Our present status is all thanks to your promotion."

"Living in separate houses, driving cars, money not lacking, women need not be mentioned; if anyone harbors dissatisfaction over this, I will put them in a life-or-death dilemma!"

The other four also said: "Big Brother, you need not worry about our thoughts; among those who mix in the world, few enjoy such treatment!"

"We know very well what other gangs are like—missing meals, having no next meal; that's the most comfortable life our Youmadi lineage can offer. What more could we want?"

That's correct; Taizi, Quanwang Tai, and Li Xin—when they speak of it, they all came from Youmadi.

Hearing them say that, Quanwang Tai's face showed a hint of an ugly smile.

Pointing at Li Xin, he said: "Your brother Li Xin also came from Youmadi; he says let Huwang rise to power. What do you say?"

"No problem!"

"Definitely no problem! How many benefits has Brother Li Xin given to the old brothers of Youmadi?"

"If we dare say no today, those old brothers will come to Tuodi and eat us."

If it were someone else's proposal, they might have some reservations, but toward Li Xin they have none.

Besides Huwang, the other four laughed and joked.

They truly admire Li Xin; even though they themselves are doing well, they still reach out to help an old brother—such a Big Brother is truly rare!

If they encounter one, and it's still a fellow-lineage Big Brother, they should hurry to fawn over him; perhaps one day Li Xin will be pleased and they'll gain unimaginable benefits.

Li Xin looked at them, laughing and scolding: "Damn! You guys only have this little ambition! Those old brothers could really eat you!"

"Can, truly can!"

Several people sighed: "Li Xin, don't doubt it; putting it bluntly, if one day you run into trouble, Youmadi definitely has many people who would risk their lives to work for you."

"Because we all know that once the deed is done, the family will enjoy wealth and prosperity for a lifetime; exchanging this worthless life for family affluence, not doing so is sheer foolishness!"

After the several finished their sighs, Huwang looked at Litongdao and said: "Li Xin, Big Brother has appointed me to take the position; I am certainly happy, for I know that Li Xin, you can give Big Brother a better future."

"Big Brother, Li Xin, watch my future conduct; if I do something that lets down the brothers, I will throw myself into the sea."

Li Xin laughed heartily and said: "Huwang, we are old acquaintances; I have always been harsh to outsiders and lenient to insiders."

As long as you don't violate taboos, go ahead and do it—we few retired idlers will back you up; is that backing enough?

Hu Wang grinned foolishly, then said: "Xin Ge, you're joking! With you three Big Brothers as our backing, the Gangdao underworld will have to give Hu Wang face."

"After all, even if they don't look at me, Hu Wang, they have to look at the people behind me, right?"

"To say something arrogant, in this Gangdao underworld, for the three Big Brothers, there really isn't anything they can't do!"

Taizi, hearing Hu Wang say that, was very pleased; uh, indeed, is there anything in the Gangdao underworld that the three brothers can't do?

No!

Taizi, whose real name is Gan Zitai, has a straightforward personality and is known as the 'Prosperity War God'.

He is not only the Leader of the Prosperity Tsim Sha Tsui district, but also proficient in various martial arts, including national arts, Ka‑Rou‑Ken Fist, and Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu.

In the comic, Taizi's image represents the 'valor' among the four main characters of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and valor; he is devoted to martial arts, pursues the utmost in martial skill, and has a strong sense of justice and loyalty.

Because of several years of association, in his heart, the status of A Xin and Tai Ge surpasses the martial way; to say it's a life‑and‑death friendship is not an exaggeration at all!

Fighting, the three brothers can all fight; money, since they had boxing matches, he and Tai Ge are not lacking money either.

Being able to fight and having money—in the underworld, is there anything the three brothers can't do?

No, and it's impossible!
