His girlfriend, I think everyone has seen, Zhang Yinuo, Zhang Longtao’s sister. Today we are gathering here, basically people from the East, South, West, and North streets have all come. Although Zhang Longtao didn't come, his sister came, which counts as the East Street coming. So, let’s start!\" Huang Laohu took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Huang Laohu’s words, everyone found their seats. San Mao, Zhang Yinuo, and I sat beside Huang Laohu. Honestly, this was my first time attending such a big meeting, and I was very uncomfortable. San Mao was unusually excited, while Zhang Yinuo was as calm as before, as if she had seen such scenes long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Laohu took the lead again: \"The Zhang family’s ambition, I think everyone knows. I believe everyone has received the Zhang family’s conditions and warnings. I don't know what everyone thinks should be done about this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Laohu finished speaking, then looked at everyone present, his expression cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di took the lead: \"The Zhang family is really ambitious. I think everyone knows their purpose, nothing more than wanting to annex us and then be the boss themselves. To put it nicely, it’s discussing with us, to put it badly, it’s threatening to notify us. Once we really agree to their conditions, then after they manage it, I think everyone knows what our end will be. Who is willing to easily give up their territory of many years? I believe no one wants to, so I think we cannot submit to the Li family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wu Di finished speaking, many people present began to discuss. Some agreed, some opposed. The opposition was concentrated in my front right. Huang Laohu explained to me that it was the boss of the East Street, Liu Hengdao. Liu Hengdao often carried a long knife on his back. This guy’s knife skills are extraordinary, and his Wu Gong is not weak. However, this boss’s reputation is not very good. I heard that he relied on rebellion to get to his current position. This guy is a wall-flower, a person who knows current affairs and can endure humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Huang Laohu was right, this Liu Hengdao cannot be underestimated. Such a treacherous villain, you don't know when he might stab you. Even if it is a unified front now, who knows if he will stab you for profit in the future? Besides, this guy has a criminal record, so he must be guarded against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think everyone present knows these problems I am worried about, and they are also very wary of this Liu Hengdao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think of Boss Wu’s words?\" Huang Laohu asked when he saw that no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hengdao was sitting in the chair at this time, his whole body leaning back, crossing his legs and saying: \"I think we cannot fight head-on about this matter. Everyone knows the rise of the Li family recently, and everyone knows the experts of the Li family. And just the experts on the surface of the Li family that I know are not less than ten, not counting the ones in the dark. So if we fight head-on with the Li family with our current strength, it is undoubtedly seeking death. I think we might as well endure for a period of time, agree to the Li family’s conditions temporarily, and then discuss it later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Hengdao, stop it, if you want to surrender, go surrender, aren't you relying on this to get to where you are today? You want to be a dog for others, I don't want to!\" A person next to Liu Hengdao stood up and shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at that person’s situation, it should be someone from the East Street. I didn't expect someone from the East Street to oppose Liu Hengdao first. This was something none of us expected. It seems Liu Hengdao’s position in the East Street is not stable. But this is understandable. After all, how far can a person who relies on rebellion go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are looking for death!\" Liu Hengdao looked at this person and shouted angrily, then took out the long knife on his body and stabbed it directly into the stomach of the person who opposed just now. I saw the other party looking at Liu Hengdao in disbelief, spitting blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hengdao didn't care at all, as if killing was a very ordinary thing, and pulled out the knife directly. The person pointed at Liu Hengdao unwillingly and then fell to the ground and closed his eyes. Looking at this situation, he was likely dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Mao and I were surprised. Although we have seen many underworld scenes recently, it is rare to see direct killing, especially this kind of very bloody one, which made me feel creepy. This Liu Hengdao is indeed sinister to the extreme, even so ruthless to his own subordinates, let alone others. I guess if you want to be friends with this guy, you have to be very careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Liu, you are a bit too much, he has been following you for a year or two, you kill him as you say, is there any humanity at all!\" Wu Di looked at Liu Hengdao angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humanity? What is that? I haven't had it for a long time. I’ll put my words here today, whoever disagrees with what I just said, this person is the end!\" After saying this, Liu Hengdao slashed the conference table with a knife, and the whole conference table shook violently, scaring others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Hengdao, what do you mean? You have already surrendered to the Li family, right? Have you already become a dog of the Li family?\" Wu Di shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hengdao’s words just now clearly showed that this guy had already turned to the Li family. Anyone with eyes could see it. At this moment, many people present showed timid expressions. After all, they knew Liu Hengdao’s ability, whether it was Wu Gong or marksmanship, it was very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What dog? Don't say it so ugly, this is called a wise man submits to circumstances, Boss Wu, seeing that we have known each other, I don't care, otherwise just because of your few sentences just now, I would have chopped you. But if you express your position to surrender now, I will let you go, otherwise don't blame the knife in my hand for not being affectionate, and the others are the same!\" Liu Hengdao shouted angrily at everyone around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Hengdao, you are quite bold, among the people present, except for the two people you brought, where are your people, and you killed one yourself, do you think you can deal with us with just the two people you have left?\" Huang Laohu chuckled and looked at Liu Hengdao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hengdao smiled when he heard Huang Laohu’s words and said: \"Of course it is impossible to have only two people. You won't think that I only brought two people today, right? To tell you the truth, there are my people outside now, and there are many experts from the Li family. Bosses, do you think there is any chance of winning now?\" ===== CHAPTER 125 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.179Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c29b37eb2267972b845e8848e539eab3296bf7267652c26aa2ba0fa2a04d0e20","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-125","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-123",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
