Chapter 121: The Attack
As the night deepened, in the Sishui Gang, a young man with the background of a large gang sat on the bright and spacious main seat, swirling a wine glass in his hand, his eyes revealing a touch of dissatisfaction and contempt.
"Brothers, have you heard? That newly arrived Hong Sect actually dared to snatch territory right under our noses!" Xu Le's voice was low and powerful, like a roar emerging from an abyss.
The brothers around him, upon hearing this, put down their wine glasses one after another and gathered around. Some showed anger, others wore cold sneers on their lips, but without exception, they all expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Hong Sect's actions.
"Hong Sect? Those outsiders dare to run wild in our territory? They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" A burly man slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Exactly, do they think we are easy to bully? We must show them some color!" Another thin young man waved his fist, a fierce light flickering in his eyes.
Xu Le waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
His expression grew even gloomier, "The Hong Sect's actions have already touched our bottom line. The leaders of those three small gangs were our people; they took their territory so cleanly without even coming to pay their respects, so they can't blame us." Xu Le's voice was filled with determination.
"Then Lao Da, what should we do? Should we just go straight for them?" An impatient brother asked eagerly.
Xu Le smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, we cannot be as lacking in moral code as they are. We must use our own way to let them know whose territory this is."
"Then you mean..." a clever brother asked tentatively.
Xu Le did not answer directly, but took a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to that brother: "This is the information on the territory the Hong Sect has newly acquired. You all act tonight and smash their places for me."
"But, will this cause a bigger conflict?" that brother asked with some hesitation.
Xu Le sneered: "Conflict? They didn't follow the rules first, so why should we be afraid of them? Rest assured, I have my own sense of proportion."
That brother took the paper, nodded, and turned to leave the tavern. Xu Le continued to sit in the corner, a sharp light flickering in his eyes. He knew that this struggle had just begun, and he was already prepared.
"This Hong Sect actually dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Under the cover of night, a meticulously planned attack quietly unfolded. Xu Le's subordinates snuck into the Hong Sect's territory like ghosts, and with lightning speed, turned the originally peaceful night into a turbulent storm.
Overnight, among the three streets newly acquired by the Hong Sect,
The important casinos were smashed to pieces,
And the streetwalkers on the streets were all driven away and not allowed to conduct business.
The Sishui Gang's subordinates were like cruel demons; they moved away anything valuable and destroyed whatever they couldn't move.
The next morning, sunlight spilled through the clouds into every corner of this city, yet it could not dispel the anger in Cheng Feng's heart.
Upon learning that his territory had been ransacked by people who appeared out of nowhere, Cheng Feng was like a lit powder keg, his anger overflowing in his expression.
He immediately summoned Wang Hu and several other leaders to consult on the sequence of events.
It turned out that disciples of the Hong Sect had taken private jobs in the name of the Hong Sect,
Which led to the neighborhood residents talking early in the morning about whether the Hong Sect was failing, which severely damaged the prestige the Hong Sect had just established.
Having learned the ins and outs of the matter, Cheng Feng did not blame that disciple immediately, but instead asked who the attackers were.
Hearing the unfamiliar name of Xu Le brought up by Wang Hu, Cheng Feng was confused, but since the other party had already started stepping on his face, Cheng Feng, confident in his own strength, would not show them any mercy.
He sent Wang Hu to find out Xu Le's background, identity, and address.
He gathered the people of the Hong Sect and headed straight toward the gang where Xu Le was located.
However, Xu Le was no ordinary person.
He had long anticipated Cheng Feng's reaction and had arranged everything in advance. When Cheng Feng arrived at Xu Le's territory with a group of aggressive subordinates, full of murderous intent, they discovered they had fallen into a meticulously designed trap.
Countless subordinates of Xu Le suddenly emerged from all around, holding Sharp Blades, and surrounded Cheng Feng and the others. The two sides, which were originally evenly matched, seemed to have their outcome decided at this moment.
Cheng Feng and his subordinates had fallen into an unprecedented predicament,
And they were about to be forced into a life-and-death struggle with Xu Le's subordinates.
Watching the surrounded Hong Sect members, Xu Le laughed happily.
The person he had contacted was indeed not lying; Cheng Feng had walked into the trap he had woven so rashly—what a brainless brute.
"Cheng Sect Master, the Hong Sect's recent momentum has been unmatched! How did you end up in such a state today? Do you know why this is happening today?" Looking at Cheng Feng, who seemed as if nothing had happened, Xu Le could not help but applaud Cheng Feng's composure.
Cheng Feng asked curiously: "You have truly piqued my curiosity. You and I have never met before; we have no past grievances or recent grudges. Yesterday you sent people to smash my place, and today I came prepared to ask you for an explanation. Before I even saw you, you brought people to surround me. Is there anything that cannot be sat down and discussed slowly?"
"For no reason, just because you didn't pay your respects to my territory and still dared to make a move. Don't you know that I cover this entire area?" Xu Le had the posture of someone ready to attack at the slightest disagreement.
