Chapter 266

The entire banquet hall of the three-star hotel, as well as the largest conference room, had been booked.

After Dalao B brought Chen Haonan and the others in, at a glance, everyone was a peer.

Da Fei, who liked to pick his nose, Shengfan, who was like a reckless bull, and the thugs who had been very prominent in Hongxing's major branches recently, all had good performances in previous affairs.

Like Chen Haonan and the others, it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before they could all be promoted to high-ranking members or go even further.

"B Ge is here, please go upstairs!"

An underling responsible for greeting guests immediately stepped forward and greeted them enthusiastically, "The other Hall Masters are all upstairs!"

"Oh, then I'll go up!"

Dalao B nodded to show he understood, then turned back to tell Chen Haonan and the others, "You guys wait here!"

Chen Haonan and the others hurriedly agreed; they didn't want to stay with the Hall Masters either, as the state of being cautious and careful at all times was really too uncomfortable.

"Chen Haonan, you guys are here, come over and sit!"

After Dalao B went upstairs, Da Fei, who had been picking his nose, stood up and greeted them directly.

He was currently operating in the Western District, and because of Jige's inaction, he had even vaguely become the number one person in Hongxing's Western District; he really liked sharp thugs with ambition like Chen Haonan.

"Da Fei Ge, what's going on today?"

Chen Haonan and the others hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Why are so many fellow members here?"

"You don't know?"

Da Fei was a bit suspicious, scanned Chen Haonan, and suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand!"

In his heart, he felt quite a bit of contempt for Dalao B.

Since he brought his underlings here to gain experience, he should have done the job properly and explained the situation in advance, so as not to let his trusted underlings lose face in front of so many fellow members because they didn't understand the situation.

If such a situation really occurred, they wouldn't have gained any favors, and would likely have ended up with resentment instead.

"Dongxing's Luotuo, Wo Shing's Deng Bo, and several other underworld bosses are jealous of the gambling ship the Dragon Head and the others set up!"

"So, they want to unite to force Mr. Jiang to make concessions and let them get a piece of the pie!"

"Today, they will negotiate at this hotel; that's the specific situation!"

"That bunch of guys is really shameless!"

Shanjie spoke up first, filled with righteous indignation, "The Dragon Head and the others took on so much pressure and risk to finally get the gambling ship set up, and they just want to get a piece of the pie?"

"In this world, how can there be such a cheap deal?"

Speaking to the point of excitement, he even raised his voice, "If you ask me, there's no need for negotiations at all; isn't it just a show of force?"

"Could it be that our Hongxing is afraid?"

"Well said, that's exactly how it should be!"

Nearby Hongxing members heard this and immediately spoke up in agreement, attracting many curious gazes.

Da Fei was very satisfied; the hand he was using to pick his nose slapped Shanjie's shoulder hard, praising him, "You kid can talk, you'll have a bright future!"

Chen Haonan and Datian Er rolled their eyes while agreeing, feeling it was quite absurd and ridiculous.

With someone like Shanjie, if a real underworld show of force occurred, this guy would just be a role for shouting and waving flags; as for leading the charge, one couldn't count on him at all.

Just as they were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hotel.

"What's going on?"

Da Fei's face showed displeasure, and he was quite dissatisfied with the fellow members guarding the door.

They were always making a fuss, making it seem like Hongxing thugs had never seen the world.

"Quick, quick, quick, everyone perk up, Dongxing Dragon Head Luotuo and Wo Shing's Deng Bo and the others are here!"

But the next moment, a Hongxing minor leader guarding the door rushed in and reminded them loudly.

The originally noisy hall suddenly went quiet!

The layout of the hall upstairs was actually not much different from the one downstairs.

However, the number of people was much smaller.

When Dalao B came up, he happened to see the rest of Hongxing's Hall Masters and a group of uncle-generation bosses.

"B Ge is here!"

Taizi was clearly the center of the crowd in the hall, and seeing Dalao B, he took the initiative to greet him.

"You guys came early enough!"

Dalao B wasn't polite either; he found a seat and sat down, casually picking up a can of beer from the large dining table and biting the cap off to gulp it down.

After half a bottle of beer went down, he burped and asked, "Where is Mr. Jiang?"

"They are in the large conference room upstairs!"

Jige rushed to answer, "A B, how many people did you bring?"

"Just Chen Haonan and his brothers, what's wrong?"

Dalao B asked suspiciously, "Isn't it just a negotiation with Dongxing's Luotuo and Wo Shing's Deng Bo and those underworld bosses? Could it be that we have to start fighting directly?"

"Are you stupid?"

Jige rolled his eyes, feeling a sense of intellectual superiority, and reminded him, "What kind of bullshit negotiation is this? Isn't it just wanting to forcibly snatch some benefits from Mr. Jiang and the others?"

"Do you think Mr. Jiang and the others will honestly and obediently agree?"

Dalao B subconsciously shook his head; if it were him, he definitely wouldn't agree, and at worst, they would just fight.

"Isn't that it?"

Jige said irritably, "Once the negotiations break down, it's very likely that a conflict will break out directly!"

"You brought too few thugs; if a fight really breaks out, you'll be at a disadvantage. Could it be that you, B Ge, will take the initiative to lead the charge?"

Speaking of this, he boasted, "Like me, not only did I bring Da Fei, but my trusted high-ranking members also came, including the most capable group of thugs from the Western District!"

"No way, right?"

Dalao B was startled and subconsciously said, "If that's really the case, I'm afraid our Hongxing will face a siege from many top-tier societies in Hong Kong. How could Mr. Jiang let the situation become so unfavorable?"

"Hehe, whether a direct conflict will occur, no one knows!"

Jige realized he had spoken out of turn and smiled faintly, "Of course, being prepared is the best choice!"

Taizi, Feilao Li, Jing Ma, and other Hongxing Hall Masters sitting nearby all showed expressions of deep agreement, clearly approving of Jige's statement.

Dalao B felt a bit panicked and wanted to call for reinforcements immediately.

Just at this moment, news of the arrival of Dongxing's Luotuo and Wo Shing's Deng Bo also reached the ears of the many society Hall Masters and powerful uncle-generation figures on the second floor.

"How many underlings did Luotuo and Deng Bo and the others bring with them?"

Dalao B subconsciously asked, "Also, did that old guy, Dongxing's Ben Shu, come?"

"B Ge, Dongxing, Wo Shing, and the Shuifang leader have about fifty high-ranking members with them!"

The underling who came up to deliver the message hesitated, "They are all famous bosses in the underworld!"

"Hehe, no need to ask!"

Taizi stood up directly and said, "Let's go downstairs and give them a proper reception, then we'll know!"

"After all, we are the hosts; we can't let those old foxes pick out any faults, nor can we let them look down on us guys. We must establish our momentum!"

After speaking, he strode toward the elevator.

"Let's go, let's go together!"

Jige hurriedly followed, and incidentally shouted a few times; those who didn't know might have thought he was the one in charge.

In the hall downstairs, nearly a hundred people poured in at once, but it didn't seem crowded.

However, the atmosphere was quite heavy!

The few leaders were all top-tier bosses famous in the Hong Kong underworld.

Dongxing's Luotuo, Wo Shing's Deng Bo, the Shuifang leader, the Number One Gang spokesperson, and the United Gang leader Blue Whale.

Even the most unruly society scum would feel heavy-hearted and under immense pressure upon suddenly seeing this group of underworld bosses.

Not to mention that the people who came with these top-tier underworld bosses were also famous figures in the underworld; none of them were simple characters.

Four of the Dongxing Five Tigers came; except for Jinmao Hu, the other four tigers all arrived.

That is to say, Xiaomian Hu didn't have much combat power, but the others—Benleihu Lei Yaoyang, Xiashanhu Wuya, and Qinlonghu Situ Haonan—were all very prominent Red Pole experts in the underworld.

Not only the Dongxing Five Tigers, but also the strategist Guhulun, nearly ten Hall Masters, and quite famous thugs like He Yong also came.

Such a lineup made the low-level Four-Nines of Hongxing in the hall feel that even breathing had become heavy.

Wo Shing's lineup was not weak either, with all nine Hall Masters gathered, along with powerful Red Pole high-ranking members!

The lineups of the United, Shuifang, and the Number One Gang were only slightly inferior.

If just one of them came to cause trouble, Hongxing would have to be on high alert, let alone several society bosses coming all at once.

Da Fei was the person with the highest status among the Hongxing members in the hall.

But even he was sweating in his palms and feeling hollow in his heart, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Fortunately, at this time, Taizi brought a group of Hongxing Hall Masters down.

"Hongxing has quite the airs!"

Seeing Taizi take the initiative to welcome them, Dongxing's Xiashanhu Wuya couldn't help but be snarky, saying something sarcastic.

"If you didn't want to come, Wuya, no one invited you!"

Taizi didn't indulge this guy and scolded him directly, "Your boss hasn't spoken, why are you speaking? Are you the one in charge of Dongxing?"

"Taizi, you're very arrogant; if you have time, let's get close and personal!"

Wuya sneered, "Do you know what equality means? Where is Hongxing's Dragon Head, Jiang Tiansheng?"

"If we're talking about arrogance, who can compare to you, Wuya Ge!"

Just at this moment, Hongxing's newly appointed Sai Kung Hall Master, Li Xin, arrived with a group of tough-looking underlings in black suits.

Over a hundred men in black suits surrounded them aggressively, which was quite intimidating.

Li Xin went directly to Taizi and said irritably to the Dongxing group, "If you came here with the idea of being the guest who usurps the host, then there's nothing to talk about, just go back!"

"Who are you, kid?"

Wuya said unhappily, "When the bosses are talking, when did you have the qualifications to speak?"

"I am Hongxing's Sai Kung Hall Master, what, are you not convinced?"

Li Xin scanned Wuya, and Zhang Yong, who had followed him, stepped forward directly, almost face-to-face with Wuya, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to fight, I'll accompany you. I just don't know if Dongxing's Xiashanhu Wuya is as 'Babi' as the rumors say?"

"Zhang Yong, if we're going to fight, we'll be the ones fighting!"

At this time, He Yong, who was following Situ Haonan, couldn't help but shout provocatively.
