Chapter 210: Taking Underlings

"Enough, stop pretending. Come over now. The location is XX!"

"This, Brother Yang, I have some things to deal with here. I'm afraid it's not convenient to come over right now!"

I could hear that Huang Laohu really didn't want to come.

I looked at the trembling Fatty on the ground, smiled, and said to him, "Fatty, it seems your boss doesn't want to come and save you!"

Fatty's trembling fat shook as he hurriedly cried and begged, "Tiger Brother, save me, Tiger Brother!"

Huang Laohu on the other end of the phone frowned deeply and continued, "Brother Yang, give me some face. How about you let them go?"

"Give you face? Why should I give you face? What kind of face do you, Huang Laohu, have!"

I had no intention of giving Huang Laohu any face at all. Although my relationship with Huang Laohu was decent before, on the day the incident happened, even if Huang Laohu wasn't necessarily the traitor, I was furious just because the two of them didn't show up. I understood they didn't want to submit to me as their boss, but when something happened, they should have at least come to help. But at the time, not a single person came. Even if they weren't the ones who betrayed me, they were definitely involved in this matter. In short, they weren't good people either, and I still had to settle accounts with them.

"Brother Yang, do you really have to be so absolute?"

"This isn't me being absolute; it's you who acted so absolutely back then!"

"Fine, since Brother Yang says so, then do whatever you want with those people!"

After saying that, Huang Laohu hung up the phone directly. Listening to this, it seemed he intended to abandon these people and wasn't coming. I had originally planned to have Huang Laohu come over so I could ask him some things, but it seemed that was all for nothing.

I looked at the group of people on the ground and said helplessly, "It seems your Tiger Brother doesn't want you anymore. What do you think you should do?"

"I'm sorry, Boss, it's all our fault. Please, I beg you to let us go!" Fatty hurriedly begged.

Fatty had finally reached his current status after so many years; he didn't want to be crippled or killed.

Subsequently, Fatty grabbed Little Liu from before, kicked him, and said to me, "Boss, it was this guy who made you unhappy. I'll teach him a lesson for you right now!"

After saying that, Fatty beat and kicked the guy before him. Little Liu was covered in blood; after all, Fatty had the tonnage, and he didn't know how to hold back. Little Liu's small frame couldn't handle it at all.

After beating him for a while, Fatty hurriedly came over and said to me, "Boss, do you think this is okay?"

"You slapped Uncle Li before. I told you to apologize at that time!"

Hearing this, Fatty hurriedly ran in front of Uncle Li, slapped himself, and cried, "I'm sorry, Uncle, it's all my fault, it's all my wrong. I'm a fool. Please forgive me!"

Uncle Li had never seen such a scene and was completely stunned. However, seeing Fatty's swollen face, he hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, just don't bully people in the future!"

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Uncle!" Fatty hurriedly bowed in thanks.

Immediately after, Fatty ran to my side and said respectfully, "Boss, no, Boss Yang, I know you must have some grudge with Tiger Brother. I've followed Tiger Brother for so many years, I can definitely help you!"

Hearing Fatty's words, I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to him, "You changed your tune fast. You've followed your boss for so many years, and you betray him just like that? I don't dare to be your boss!"

"No, Boss Yang, this matter is clearly Huang Laohu being unrighteous first. I've followed him for so many years, and he actually refused to save me. I, Zhu Zhen, am not stupid. Why should I still risk my life for this boss!" Zhu Zhen said, his face puffed up with anger.

Seeing his expression, from the look of this guy, it was likely not faked. This person before me was quite straightforward, looked honest, and was decisive in his actions. Perhaps he could be of use to me.

So I said to Zhu Zhen, "You kid have a good eye. Since that's the case, today I'll take you to have some fun!"

Hearing my words, Zhu Zhen said excitedly, "So, Boss Yang intends to take me in?"

I smiled and didn't speak, not denying it. Zhu Zhen was overjoyed and said directly to the brothers around him, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and pay respects to Brother Yang, Boss Yang!"

"Brother Yang!" a group of people shouted respectfully.

I didn't react to this. Then Zhu Zhen said to everyone present, "I know some of you might not be convinced, but I won't force anyone. You saw Tiger Brother's situation just now. We followed him for so many years, and then what? He just abandoned us like that. Why should we still follow such a boss!"

"But, Brother Zhu, this guy, although Brother Yang is powerful, he is only one person after all. Are we...!" This guy spoke very softly, basically whispering to Zhu Zhen. However, with my good hearing, I naturally heard it. I didn't say much about it; what he said was indeed correct. I was only one person, and compared to the already established Huang Laohu and Wu Di, I really didn't count for much.

"Short-sighted, what do you know? Brother Yang is protected by Sister Ling and Sister Shuang. He has an extraordinary bearing and is clearly someone destined for great things. There are some things you don't know, but I do. Brother Yang is someone even the Li family fears!"

Hearing Zhu Zhen's words, everyone finally understood how powerful I was. Especially when they heard that even the Li family feared me, they were even more incredulous. You have to know that the current Li family was in its prime, and there were basically very few families that could rival it. But such a large family actually feared me, which made them have to admire me.

I saw that we had eaten enough, so I took out money and handed it to Uncle Li, saying, "Uncle Li, your skills haven't changed. It's especially delicious. I will definitely come often in the future!"

"No, no, how can I take your money? We agreed, I'm treating you. Hurry and take it back!" Uncle Li hurriedly shoved the money back to me.

"Uncle Li, this won't do. You're running a small business; I can't let you work for nothing. Just take it!" Uncle Li and I were pushing back and forth. Zhu Zhen, who was on the side, said impatiently, "If he tells you to take it, take it. Why so much nonsense!"

Hearing this, Uncle Li was so scared he took the money. I kicked Zhu Zhen and scolded, "What are you doing? You scared him!"

Zhu Zhen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and hurriedly apologized. However, it was precisely because of this situation that Uncle Li accepted the money. I could see that Uncle Li now had a hint of fear toward me. It seemed that Uncle Li and I could never return to the way things were back then. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
