Chapter 116: Fierce Battle in the Meeting Hall

Seeing that neither Zhang Yinuo nor I refuted it, everyone believed that we were truly a couple, to the point that the others present were staring at us, and their gazes were not very friendly.

"Alright, let me introduce everyone. This is Brother Yang, Yang Yun, a very powerful expert. As for his girlfriend, I believe everyone has seen her, Zhang Yinuo, Zhang Longtao’s sister. Today, at our gathering, basically the bosses from the East, South, West, and North streets have all come. Although Zhang Longtao didn't come, at least his sister came, which can be considered as someone from the East Street, so let’s begin!" Huang Laohu took the lead in speaking.

Hearing Huang Laohu’s words, everyone found their places and sat down. San Ge, Zhang Yinuo, and I sat next to Huang Laohu. Honestly, this was my first time attending such a big meeting, and I was very uncomfortable. San Ge, on the other hand, was unusually excited. As for Zhang Yinuo, she was as calm as ever, as if she were already used to such scenes.

Huang Laohu then took the lead in speaking: "I believe everyone knows the ambition of the Zhang family this time. I believe everyone has received the conditions and warnings from the Zhang family. I don't know what everyone thinks should be done about this matter?"

After Huang Laohu finished speaking, he looked at everyone present, his expression cold and sharp.

Wu Di spoke first: "The Zhang family is truly wolf-hearted. I believe everyone knows their goal; it’s nothing more than wanting to annex us and then become the boss themselves. To put it nicely, they are discussing with us; to put it bluntly, they are threatening us to notify us. Once we really agree to their conditions, then after they manage us, I don't need to say what the outcome for us will be; everyone knows. Who is willing to easily hand over their territory of many years? I believe no one wants to, so I think we cannot submit to the Li family!"

After Wu Di finished speaking, many people present began to discuss. There were those who agreed and those who opposed. The opposition was concentrated in front of my right. Huang Laohu explained to me that it was the boss of Dongjie, Liu Hengdao. Liu Hengdao often carried a knife on his back. This guy’s knife skills were extraordinary, and his Wu Gong was not weak either. However, this boss’s reputation was not very good. It was said that he relied on betrayal to get to his current position. This guy was a fence-sitter, a person who was very sensible and could endure humiliation.

If what Huang Laohu told me was correct, this Liu Hengdao was not to be underestimated. Such a treacherous villain, you never know when he might stab you. Even if we were on a unified front now, who knew if he would stab you in the back for profit in the future? Not to mention that this guy had a criminal record, so one had to be on guard.

I believe everyone present knew the problems I was worried about, and they were all very wary of this guy, Liu Hengdao.

"What does everyone think about Boss Wu’s words?" Huang Laohu asked, seeing that everyone present was silent.

Liu Hengdao was sitting on a chair at this time, his whole body leaning back, crossing his legs, and said: "I think we cannot meet them head-on in this matter. Everyone knows about the recent rise of the Li family, and I believe everyone knows about the experts of the Li family. Just the experts of the Li family that I know of on the surface are no fewer than ten, not counting the ones in the dark. So, if we fight the Li family head-on with our current strength, it is undoubtedly seeking death. I think it’s better if we endure for a period of time, temporarily agree to the Li family’s conditions, and then discuss it later!"

"Liu Hengdao, stop that. If you want to surrender, go surrender yourself. Isn't that how you got to where you are today? You want to be a dog for others, but I don't!" A person next to Liu Hengdao stood up and said angrily.

Looking at that person’s situation, he should be from the East Street. I didn't expect that someone from the East Street would be the first to oppose Liu Hengdao. This was something none of us expected. It seemed that Liu Hengdao’s position in the East Street was not very stable either. But this was understandable; after all, how far can a person who rose by rebellion go?

"You’re seeking death!" Liu Hengdao looked at this person and shouted angrily, then took out the long knife from his body and stabbed it directly into the stomach of the person who had just opposed him. I saw the other party looking at Liu Hengdao in disbelief, spitting blood from his mouth.

Liu Hengdao didn't care at all, as if killing someone was a very ordinary thing. He pulled out the knife directly, and that person pointed at Liu Hengdao unwillingly and fell to the ground, closing his eyes. Looking at this situation, he was mostly dead.

San Ge and I were both shocked. Although we had seen many scenes in society recently, it was rare to see someone killed directly, especially such a bloody one, which made me feel a bit creepy. This guy Liu Hengdao was indeed extremely sinister, actually being so cruel to his own subordinates, let alone others. I guess if you want to be friends with this guy, you have to be very careful about everything.

"Boss Liu, you’ve gone a bit too far, haven't you? He’s been with you for a year or two, and you kill him just like that. Do you have any humanity left?" Wu Di looked at Liu Hengdao angrily.

"Humanity? What is that? I lost that long ago. I’ll put my words here today: whoever disagrees with what I just said, this person is the outcome!" After speaking, Liu Hengdao slashed the conference table with his knife. The entire conference table shook violently, scaring the others into a state of timidity.

"Liu Hengdao, what do you mean? You’ve already defected to the Li family, haven't you? You’ve already become a dog for the Li family?" Wu Di shouted angrily.

From Liu Hengdao’s words just now, it was clear that this guy had already defected to the Li family. Anyone with eyes could see it. At this moment, many people present showed timid faces; after all, they knew Liu Hengdao’s abilities, whether it was Wu Gong or marksmanship, which were very powerful.

"What dog? Don't say it so ugly. This is called being sensible. Boss Wu, for the sake of us knowing each other, I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, just for those few sentences you said just now, I would have already slashed you. But if you express your agreement to surrender now, I will spare you once. Otherwise, don't blame the knife in my hand for being heartless. As for the others, it’s the same!" Liu Hengdao shouted angrily at the people around him.

"Liu Hengdao, you’ve got some nerve. Among the people present, except for the two you brought, none of them are your people. And you even killed one of your own. Do you think that with just the two of you left, you can deal with all of us?" Huang Laohu smiled and looked at Liu Hengdao.

Liu Hengdao laughed when he heard Huang Laohu’s words and said: "Of course it’s impossible that there are only two of us. You don't think I only brought two people today, do you? To tell you the truth, my people are everywhere outside now, and there are many experts from the Li family. Bosses, do you think you still have a chance of winning?"
