Chapter 84: Lei Tang's Complete Collapse

There were barely a few who even dared to lift their heads and look these people in the eye.

"Red Tiger, how dare you — aren't you afraid of violating the gang rules?"

After feeling himself frightened, Lei Tang's heart instead grew even more wretched. This book is first published at Tiantian Kan Xiaoshuo — great for killing boredom, 𝗍𝗍𝗄𝘀. 𝗍𝈀 — super smooth, giving you a flawless-chapter, no-mixed-order reading experience.

He had actually been scared by his own subordinate.

But they were all people who only had what they had today because of him, and yet they truly dared to overstep their betters.

"Gang rules? Hahahaha!"

As if he had heard something utterly ridiculous, Lei Tang burst out laughing on the spot.

"Then go report it to the Hall Master, report it to the Bāngzhǔ — perfect timing to let them know how you jealous and petty you are, how you only have the guts to deal with your own brothers. Let's see if you can still hold on to that Head Boss seat of yours."

Lei Tang shouted loudly, but Red Tiger's voice was even louder.

Since he had chosen to make his move, there was no point in being timid or hesitant.

"You—!"

His finger trembling as it pointed at Red Tiger, Lei Tang was, for the moment, at a loss for words.

"Hmph!"

Red Tiger had no intention of continuing to waste his breath.

"I've taken this territory. If you've really got the ability, go guard somewhere else — unless you want it all snatched up by the others."

Red Tiger had also received word.

A Fist Master had already made his move on the other half of the territory — and that was exactly the effect Red Tiger needed.

"Hahaha!"

With a great laugh, Red Tiger strode away in long, vigorous steps.

"Red Tiger, you—"

Lei Tang tried to stop him.

But he was blocked by the human wall formed by Red Tiger's subordinates.

"Get lost!"

"Scram!"

"This is already Brother Red Tiger's territory!"

"Hahaha!"

The mocking laughter came in an endless stream.

Lei Tang was so angry his whole body trembled, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to give the order to fight.

"Let's go!"

Just as Red Tiger had said, the best thing to do right now was go guard the other territories, lest they really all be carved up.

For the entire night, Lei Tang didn't even have time to close his eyes for a moment, constantly busy outside, running back and forth.

It wasn't until the second day that he finally returned to his own residence.

He collapsed straight into a chair.

"Gone, everything's gone."

With Red Tiger as that first bird to stick its neck out, a whole group of people went wild — like sharks scenting blood — frantically tearing at the other territories.

Perhaps few of them were like Red Tiger, directly confronting Lei Tang face to face, but those people, after snatching the territory, simply vanished from sight — their whole game being: once it's in my hands, it's mine.

No amount of talking would do any good.

The once splendid territory had now been carved up entirely.

Not only was the territory gone — after this incident, which Fist Master under him would still serve Lei Tang wholeheartedly?

At this moment, Lei Tang was truly a lone, isolated man — with nothing left but an empty Head Boss title.

"How did it go?"

Just at that moment, a servant returned from outside the door, and Lei Tang hurriedly pulled himself together and looked over.

At a time like this, the only solution Lei Tang could think of was to throw money at it.

So he had arranged the household servants in advance, sending them to Lei Yushan to get money.

"This.. Master!"

The servant stood empty-handed, his face full of difficulty.

"Speak quickly!"

Feeling he was already standing on the edge of a cliff, Lei Tang could no longer care about so much and immediately snapped a rebuke.

The servant dared not hesitate and hurriedly said,

"Master, Boss Lei's side claims illness — there's no way to see him at all. The money house also says their business has run into some trouble lately and they can't come up with the money."

"..."

Those words made Lei Tang close his eyes for a moment, his body leaning back gently.

He wasn't stupid — how could he not tell that this was nothing more than an excuse Lei Yushan had come up with to refuse giving the money?

"Good! Wonderful! After finding a new backer, he's really thrown his weight around — not putting this Boss in his eyes at all!"

His subordinates had betrayed him, and now even his own blood brother had betrayed him.

Lei Tang couldn't help but feel that the self of this moment was exceptionally bleak.

The very last retreat available right now was actually to quit the jianghu from now on, hand over his position — perhaps that could leave him a way out alive.

But!

Having tasted the flavor that power brought for so many years, how could Lei Tang possibly step down now?

"No — the territory is mine, the money is mine, the Hall Master's seat must be mine."

When he opened his eyes again, Lei Tang's gaze held more obsession, and more madness.

When a person is cornered, they truly can do anything.

Especially when there's a way out, they'll cling to it desperately, never caring whether that path brings danger.

"The Hall Master's position—if I become Hall Master, everything will be over!"

All the current crises stem from the fact that I'm still a Head Boss.

If I become Hall Master, all these problems won't be problems anymore.

Thinking this, Lei Tang's eyes gradually hardened.

"Someone, bring me a horse."

,,,

Even though he hadn't slept all night, Lei Tang ignored his exhaustion and sought out Sēn Lǎo again.

And the result was as expected.

"How many times have I said it? I'll tell you when there's news. Why are you pushing me like this? Don't you trust me? If so, don't come back again—you can forget about the Hall Master position."

Sēn Lǎo had never intended to truly recommend Lei Tang for the Hall Master position.

He just saw the man was foolish and rich, but now there seemed to be no more profit to squeeze, so he chose to cut ties.

As for the money Lei Tang had given him before—ha, return it? Forget it!

"Hall Master! Hall Master!"

Before Lei Tang could even say two words, Sēn Lǎo's men threw him out of his own mansion.

"Bang!"

The gate slammed shut.

Staring at the closed gate before him, Lei Tang's eyes grew hollow and dazed.

He'd been fooled again.

The Hall Master position was gone—his only hope was gone.

Time passed slowly; Lei Tang didn't leave, and the gate of Sēn Lǎo's mansion showed no sign of opening.

Clearly visible, Lei Tang's eyes began to turn cruel, then mad.

Whether he acted or not, the outcome was the same—so why not fight for it?

Lei Tang left.

Sēn Lǎo, having heard the news from his servants, didn't give it a second thought—his mind was still fixed on how to retaliate against Ye Tian.

,,,

"Boss!"

In the following days, Lei Yan came to Ye Tian's mansion nearly every day.

When there was nothing to do, she practiced dance in the courtyard, never bored—and her generous personality got along well with Xiao Cao.

At that moment.

Mei Yongning hurried over just as Lei Yan finished her training and walked toward Ye Tian; Xiao Cao promptly handed her the water she had prepared.

"Uh!" Seeing Lei Yan, Mei Yongning hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

"Just say it—we're not strangers."

Since they were to marry, some things didn't need hiding—better for Lei Yan to be mentally prepared in advance.

This made Lei Yan, who had just taken the water, smile slightly.

Mei Yongning nodded after hearing this, no longer hesitating.

"Boss, Sēn Lǎo is dead."
