Chapter 251: Disgusting People Without Repayment

As the cross-sea ferry docked at the Macau Casino pier, the passengers went ashore with ugly expressions on their faces.

At this moment, the funeral music on the ferry was still playing incessantly.

Huge, a Red Pole of Hung Hing in Kwun Tong, and the group of fierce-looking thugs beside him showed no signs of disembarking.

This made the passengers who had gone ashore feel a secret sense of relief amidst their displeasure.

"Brother, are you still in the mood to go to the Macau Casino to play?"

Several familiar passengers subconsciously started whispering to each other.

They had taken such an early cross-sea ferry to get here; weren't they just dying to gamble?

"I'm not in the mood at all!"

One passenger said unhappily: "After listening to funeral music the whole way, I feel like I'm covered in bad luck!"

"If I run to the Macau Casino in this state, am I worried that the Hong Kong Dollar in my hands is too hot to hold?"

"Anyway, I'm not in the mood to play anymore. After I have breakfast in a bit, I'm going to transfer to another ferry and head back!"

"I have the same thought. Today is truly unlucky; it's better not to play!"

"Everyone is the same. Let's just head back to Hong Kong together later. If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off just playing at a nearby mahjong parlor for the day!"

"It's decided then. For the next little while, I don't plan on coming to Macau at all!"

"Why do you say that? Could it be that the Hung Hing fighters really dare to keep doing this?"

"They really might. The television last night made it very clear: Hung Hing definitely won't easily bow their heads and admit defeat; it's too shameful!"

"But the opponent is that person in Macau. Where does Hung Hing get the courage to hold out?"

"How would I know? But you all saw the scene on the ferry just now. Does it look like Hung Hing wants to smooth things over?"

"Yeah, if they do this on every ferry coming from Hong Kong, the casino business will definitely be severely affected, just like we're thinking!"

"I just don't know how long they'll keep fighting."

"We're all just common folk; it's already pretty good that we aren't getting caught in the crossfire!"

"..."

The passengers who had gone ashore were discussing it heatedly; in short, there weren't many left who were willing to go to the Macau Casino to have fun.

Hong Kong people are quite superstitious!

Whether in novels, comics, or television and movies, there are expressions of this aspect.

Otherwise, why would the feng shui industry in Hong Kong be so prosperous?

No matter what one does—opening a business, weddings, funerals, or marriages—one must pay attention to a good day and a good omen.

Like participating in gambling, that is very much about luck.

Otherwise, why could the TV series "Big Era" become a classic?

In fact, when Mainland audiences watched the "Big Era" TV series, they felt Ding Xie's luck was quite inexplicable, and their first impression was that it was a plot hole.

Yet, Hong Kong audiences felt such a plot was very reasonable, and even quite yearned for and envied it.

The final stock market duel was not a contest of professional skills, nor was it a collision of capital behind the scenes.

It was a gamble on luck!

Mainland audiences really found such a situation somewhat difficult to understand and accept.

But Hong Kong audiences revered it as a classic!

It seems that every time "Big Era" is rebroadcast, it leads to a stock market decline; it's simply inexplicable.

But from this, one can also see the deep-rooted superstitious mindset of the Hong Kong public!

It is also because of this that the behavior of the Hung Hing Underlings playing funeral music on the ferry was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of those who were excited to head to the Macau Casino for a gamble.

Feeling only bad luck and that they might be cursed, how could they continue to the Macau Casino to throw away their money?

Such things were happening on almost every ferry from Hong Kong to Macau.

The resulting consequence was severe: the number of gamblers from Hong Kong plummeted!

The news quickly reached the Big Brothers of various Macau syndicates, as well as that person, immediately causing strong dissatisfaction.

"Bastards, to actually use such low-down methods; they are despicable and shameless to the extreme!"

"Hmph, these Hung Hing Scum are courting death. Do they really think there are no heroes in the underworld in Macau?"

"Bring your gear; we're going to have a good clash with the Hung Hing fighters!"

"Damn it, if Hung Hing keeps doing this, what will we eat and drink in the future? We absolutely cannot let this continue!"

"It looks like we need a good fight. As long as we beat the Hung Hing Scum into submission, they won't dare to keep playing like this. Be quick when we move later!"

"..."

A large number of Macau syndicate members, led by their Big Brothers, came to the pier area one by one with aggressive momentum.

But who would have expected that in the casino area of the bustling district, ear-piercing funeral music would also start playing!

The sound of those large loudspeakers was extremely loud; one could hear it clearly even from several miles away.

Damn it, they are trying to raid the home base!

The casino side reacted very quickly, immediately sending out some security guards and some syndicate members who went looking for the source aggressively, only to crash into a family's funeral mourning site.

"Damn it, are you all sick?"

The leading syndicate Big Brother kicked over a wreath nearby and pointed at the startled mourning family, cursing loudly: "You're mourning, so mourn! Why are you playing the funeral music so loudly?"

"Do you know that doing this will affect the casino's business? Can you afford the consequences?"

As he spoke, he used rough methods to forcibly shut off the funeral music, and incidentally called over the family of the deceased who were mourning to lecture and warn them thoroughly, before swaggering away with his Underlings.

They did not see, however, that a camera hidden in the corner had already recorded everything they had done and everything they had said.

After the people had gone far away, Chen Haonan and Shanjie and the others walked out from the room next door.

Without a word, they gave money directly, stuffing large amounts of Hong Kong Dollar into the hands of the mourning family, and then, amidst the grateful gazes of the other party, they met up with the television station's cameraman and left the scene quickly.

"Brother Nan, aren't we giving too much?"

Shanjie strode away while grumbling discontentedly: "It's just helping out with some acting, yet it's thirty thousand Hong Kong Dollars at once; that's practically robbery!"

"Take back those petty thoughts of yours!"

Chen Haonan said crossly: "They really have family members who have passed away; we are just hitching a ride!"

"If we don't pay the mourning family enough for such matters, it will damage our karmic merit. Don't tell me you, Shanjie, are actually short on thirty thousand Hong Kong Dollars to spend?"

"To be honest with you, Brother Nan, I really am short on cash!"

Shanjie said with a grin: "I recently picked up a girl over in Tsim Sha Tsui, and she is absolutely stunning!"

"Everything about her is great, except her daily expenses are a bit high. All the money in my pockets is spent on that beauty; even if it's just thirty thousand, it could help me out in a pinch, right?"

"Damn, Shanjie, didn't you always say that picking up girls doesn't cost you any money?"

Datian Er, who was beside him, mocked: "The girls you pick up usually give you money to spend, so why isn't that working this time?"

"It's different, it's different!"

Shanjie chuckled and said smugly: "The girl Brother Shanjie picked up this time is from a high-end nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui, and she even participated in the Asia Television Beauty Pageant not long ago, making it into the top sixty-four!"

"A girl like that is not only stunning but also quite famous. I had to put in a lot of effort to pick her up, so I have to cherish her properly, don't I?"

"She's seen the big world; if I don't show that I'm wealthy enough, she might not stay with me honestly and peacefully. There's no helping it!"

Damn!

At this, not to mention Datian Er, even Chen Haonan felt quite envious.

In the nightclubs of Causeway Bay, picking up delinquent girls and ordinary nightclub women was always easy for them.

But as for the top-tier girls at high-end nightclubs, or even popular contestants who had participated in the Asia Television Beauty Pageant, those were existences they could only fantasize about.

Just as Shanjie said, without sufficient financial power, it's best not to even touch them!

That wasn't something you could trick your way into with sweet talk; even Chen Haonan couldn't do it.

"Stop the nonsense!"

Feeling a sour ache in his heart, Chen Haonan said sternly: "Let's move faster and get to the second funeral music broadcast point as soon as possible. Don't forget the mission we came here for!"

"Don't worry, Brother Nan, the brothers have it all figured out; we won't drop the ball!"

Datian Er said in a muffled voice: "This is a rare opportunity. As long as we brothers perform well, who knows, we might be able to successfully promote to high-ranking members through this!"

These words not only boosted his own morale but also lifted the spirits of Chen Haonan and Shanjie, making their pace quicken by a few notches.

As long as they could successfully promote to high-ranking members, they would be considered mid-level Big Brothers in the triad.

If their luck was explosive, there might even be a possibility of becoming a District Leader!

This matter was ordered by the Sai Kung Hall Master and is a major operation endorsed by the Dragon Head, Jiang Tiansheng.

The Sai Kung Hall Master even stated clearly that as long as they performed well and accumulated enough merit, he would fulfill his promises one by one afterward and would not let the brothers down.

Upon hearing this, Chen Haonan and his brothers' minds immediately became active.

After discussing for a while, they soon found Dalao B and expressed their determination to actively participate in this operation.

It is quite funny when you think about it!

Chen Haonan's reputation in the underworld is not small right now; at the very least, he is considered a very capable fighter in Causeway Bay, known as the number one fighter under Dalao B.

Yet, up until now, he still hasn't been promoted to a high-ranking member, which is practically a joke.

In reality, Chen Haonan's trust in Dalao B is far less than his trust in the unfamiliar Sai Kung Hall Master, Wu Feng.

At the very least, the Sai Kung Hall Master is a man of his word; what he says always counts.

This is also the reason why he, Shanjie, and the other brothers are so proactive this time.

The brothers took the initiative to take on the task of guerrilla warfare throughout Macau, constantly finding opportunities to play funeral music, focusing on being as annoying as possible.

Such an operation could directly affect the business of some casinos in Macau, so it is naturally quite dangerous.

But for Chen Haonan and his group, they believe that opportunity must be sought within danger!

As long as this opportunity is firmly grasped by the brothers, their future in the triad will be completely different from what it is now.

In this confrontation with that person in Macau, it is not just Chen Haonan and his brothers who want to seize the opportunity to rise; there are also many sharp-witted fighters from Hong Xing who want to accumulate enough merit to be promoted to high-ranking members.

As for the risks, as long as you are in the underworld, you might encounter risks at any time!

For the bottom-level Scum, as long as there is a chance to climb up, that's all that matters!
