Chapter 28: Candidate for major leader
Forget it!
Using unscrupulous means to get to the top is the way of a vicious person.
Although Chen Mu and Huang Feiyang mix in gangs, their values are more upright than most people.
Huang Feiyang served as an acting leader before, which was designated by Xie Hong.
This favor of promotion is also a favor.
Huang Feiyang prefers to sit in the position of a major leader by opening up territory.
The Great Blade Gang’s system is a bit different from other gangs.
The current leader, Guan Tong, is only thirty years old, and his martial arts cultivation is Acquired Eighth Layer.
Eight years ago, the old leader died of serious injuries, and Guan Tong became the new leader; however, more than half of the major leaders and hall masters below were unconvinced, playing various tricks.
At that time, Guan Tong’s realm was only Acquired Sixth Layer.
But his methods were extraordinary; he killed a batch, won over a batch, and subdued a batch, successfully sitting firmly in the leader’s position.
Then he reformed!
The original Great Blade Gang was similar to other gangs; the major leaders and minor leaders under them had great power, and they only needed to hand over thirty percent of the monthly protection fees collected.
The leader’s orders needed the cooperation of the major leaders to be executed. The gang members below only recognized the major leaders and minor leaders.
As for the leader?
That was a mascot.
After Guan Tong’s reform, power was recovered. Money, food, and manpower were arranged uniformly.
The monthly salary of major leaders and minor leaders was fixed, the same as the gang members below, and they only got rewards when fighting with other gangs.
But if someone opened up territory outside and fought for a piece of territory, then their autonomy would be great.
They only needed to hand over half of the protection fees collected within their jurisdiction, and they could dispose of the rest themselves.
Manpower was the same; they could recruit it themselves, but they had to be supervised by the headquarters.
But how easy is it to grab territory?
Most of those who died in the process of grabbing territory were the majority.
Huang Feiyang knew this very well.
Therefore, he prepared to continue cultivating and become stronger.
If his realm stepped into Acquired Third Layer, then he would have a better chance of fighting for a piece of territory!
It’s just.
What Chen Mu and Huang Feiyang didn't expect was that three days after the two discussed it, things changed.
This afternoon, Xie Hong summoned all his subordinates, including Huang Feiyang, Yu Baoliang, and other minor leaders.
"I called you here today to tell you something."
Xie Hong said gently, "During this period, we have grabbed quite a bit of territory from the Green Snake Gang and the Blood Wolf Gang. After discussion, the Green Snake Gang and the Blood Wolf Gang are willing to cooperate, give up these territories, and transfer them together to Changning Ward."
"From now on, Changning Ward belongs to our Great Blade Gang!"
"Thanks to the leader’s kindness, letting me, Old Hong, go over to manage Changning Ward. The affairs here will be taken over by others."
"That……" Yu Baoliang listened and asked in confusion, "Boss, do you mean you are resigning from the position of major leader?"
"Are you stupid?" A burly man with a shaved head on the side said unhappily, "The boss is changing places, not resigning; he is still a major leader after going to Changning Ward."
"Right."
Xie Hong smiled. "There is one more big ward, and the gang decided to add a new major leader position. The new major leader will take over from me and manage this side; he will also be your boss later!"
"Boss Xie, can I go with you?" Yu Baoliang asked hurriedly upon hearing this. "Anyway, I’m alone, it’s the same wherever I go."
"I……" Huang Feiyang wanted to echo.
"Not for now!"
Xie Hong shook his head. "Changning Ward is large, with many streets; it takes time to collect it. You are not from that side, so it’s hard to avoid being restricted if you go over. The leader’s intention is to transfer people from the two neighboring wards over."
"In addition, although the Green Snake Gang and the Blood Wolf Gang promised to transfer and withdraw, the handover won't be that smooth, and it will take at least a month."
"During this time, if any of you break through and become an official martial artist, you can take over from me and serve as a major leader!"
"Otherwise, the new major leader will be dispatched from the headquarters."
Speaking to the end, Xie Hong laughed.
He also thought of this point temporarily; if any of his subordinates broke through, they could take over his position.
But such a thing, how could it be such a coincidence.
"Break through within a month?" Yu Baoliang spread his hands, unable to complain. "If I could break through, I would have broken through long ago. Feiyang, can you break through?"
Yu Baoliang turned his head to look at Huang Feiyang; he intended to tease him, but Huang Feiyang’s expression was straight, and he raised his hand a bit embarrassedly. "Well, I just happened to break through."
"Oh, you broke through, right…… what, you broke through?"
Yu Baoliang was startled, stood up, stared straight at Huang Feiyang, and said in astonishment, "Feiyang, you broke through to become a martial artist?"
"Impossible!" The burly man with a shaved head widened his eyes and also stood up, staring straight at Huang Feiyang. "How could you break through? How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
Others heard this and were also shocked, their eyes spinning on Huang Feiyang.
How long had Huang Feiyang been a minor leader?
If he broke through to become a martial artist and took over from Xie Hong to serve as a major leader, wouldn't he be going to heaven?
"Good."
It was Xie Hong who was both surprised and happy, clapping his hands and walking toward Huang Feiyang, saying, "Feiyang, show us."
"Good." Huang Feiyang operated his cultivation method, mobilized internal energy, and filled his arms.
The next instant, his skin showed a bronze luster.
It was the sign of the first layer of the Acquired realm!
"Haha, well done!" Xie Hong laughed.
Yu Baoliang was also beaming, reaching out to pat Huang Feiyang on the shoulder. "Brother Feiyang is amazing, powerful, you actually broke through to become a martial artist. By the way, Feiyang, is the internal cultivation method you practice the 'Rolling Cloud Technique'?"
"Right."
Huang Feiyang stopped his cultivation, and his skin returned to normal. "The month before last, I learned the 'Rolling Cloud Technique' at the martial arts hall; if it weren't for the Guo family……"
"That’s also very powerful."
Yu Baoliang continued, "There are so many people practicing the 'Rolling Cloud Technique,' but very few have broken through to become martial artists. Brother Feiy
"That is the logic." Xie Hong nodded and echoed, "Having Feiyang take over for me is the best possible outcome. You wait, I will go to headquarters right now to report this matter."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyang hurriedly cupped his fists and gave a respectful bow to Xie Hong.
Xie Hong waved his hand and strode away.
Yu Baoliang and the others offered their congratulations from the side.
Only the bald, burly man had an ugly expression; he lowered his head and his lips moved.
Without saying a word, he turned and left.
And very quickly, he hurried toward a certain place.
On the street where the Great Blade Gang headquarters was located!
"Knock, knock~"
He raised his hand to knock on the door.
The courtyard gate opened, and a lean man walked out from inside.
"Brother Yang, why have you come?" Sun Gang greeted him warmly, "Come, come, come inside to talk."
"Boss Sun, something has happened."
The bald, burly man walked into the room, closed the door, and said quickly, "The position of head leader that Xie Hong is vacating has someone to take it over!"
"What?"
Sun Gang's expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice, "Who? Who interfered?"
"It's not from headquarters, it's from our side—a minor leader named Huang Feiyang who just broke through to become a martial artist!"
