Chapter 10

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had made a decision.

The bar counter.

The thick scent of blood was impossible to shake off.

Smoke swirled in the air.

Lin Yu watched the space ahead quietly. His eyes looked even calmer and more indifferent now; the baptism of blood had gradually changed his mindset.

Before.

No matter how ruthless he had been, it was still within the high school world. To put it bluntly, the high school world was still dominated by students. Although the thugs were arrogant, many were not yet adults, and generally, blood was rarely shed.

The injuries on his body—some were from being swarmed, some from fighting in underground boxing rings to make money, and some from being slashed by ruthless thugs—but no matter who it was.

The wounds Lin Yu left on them were only ever more brutal.

But the scene before him.

Made him truly realize the difference between gangs and high school thugs. Those thugs were fierce, but few had blood on their hands, whereas these gang members...

Almost all of them were stained with blood; having a few lives on their hands was normal.

And what made Lin Yu truly feel the difference was...

The gang members before him.

Were in a criminal zone that operated outside the law.

How many people had died in the Wang Tulong Gang just now?

Yet from beginning to end.

Not a single law enforcement officer had appeared.

Even now.

It was the same.

It was as if in the slaughter of gangs, death was the most common thing. The reason Lin Yu’s previous swarm fight had been so earth-shattering was largely because it happened within the ‘field of vision’ of ordinary people, and most of those thugs were, in fact, ‘ordinary people.’

Darkness can only survive in dark places. Where the light cannot reach, you are left to slaughter and die; as long as it doesn't reach a certain level, no one cares. In this gang territory, once you join, your life becomes worthless.

This is the law of the gang jungle.

Walking on the edge of law and crime.

Beep.

Beep.

Lin Yu’s phone rang.

This phone was a PHS, given to him by Wang Wang Tulong.

Wang Wang Tulong.

Wanted to meet him.

“From today on.”

“Tai’an Street is handed over to you to manage.”

“You...”

“Are the Speaker of Tai’an Street. All of Sunny’s previous assets are handed over to you to manage. Your salary remains unchanged; just turn in a certain share of Tai’an Street’s profits every month, and you can distribute the rest yourself.”

Walking out of the manor.

In front of Lin Yu was a black sedan.

“Brother Yama.”

“My name is Ming Xiao. From now on, I am your dedicated driver. You can order me to do anything.”

Ming Xiao was a middle-aged man in a suit who opened the car door for Lin Yu.

The way he looked at Lin Yu.

Was full of awe.

Yama.

A title that almost no one in the underworld dared to take had become the nickname of the young man before him. And just now, he had heard of the young man’s battle record.

A living...

Living Yama!

Getting into the car.

Ming Xiao looked at Lin Yu, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Lin Yu say nothing, he restrained himself and drove quietly.

“If you want to say something, say it.”

Lin Yu sat in the back seat.

Looking at the brightly lit city, the colorful lights reflecting slightly on his cheeks, there was a trace of trance beneath his calm eyes.

Hearing Lin Yu speak, Ming Xiao quickly said: “What I wanted to say is...”

“I have never seen a Speaker as young as you.”

“Your appearance...”

“Is likely to shock the entire underworld.”

Ming Xiao glanced at Lin Yu behind him, his eyes full of shock.

“But you must be careful. Now that your territory, because of Brother Sunny’s death in battle, only has a dozen or so Wang Tulong Gang brothers left, and now that the gang is being attacked by the Black Dog Gang, every territory needs men, so...”

Ming Xiao gave a warning; the situation on Tai’an Street was not good.

In the battle of Tai’an Street, Lin Yu had held the street alone, but there were countless casualties, and Sunny had died in battle. Meanwhile, the gang’s other territories were also being attacked by the Black Dog Gang, making it impossible to send reinforcements.

Therefore.

The Tai’an Street that Lin Yu took over was actually a mess.

But.

Even so, it could not hide the shock of the underworld.

Because.

In the entire history of the underworld!

There had never been...

Such a young Speaker!

“Speaker...”

Lin Yu looked out the car window, his indifferent face showing a hint of trance.

Who would have thought.

Just two days after being released from prison, his fate had undergone such a earth-shattering change.

A sixteen-year-old student, after two years in prison.

Turned around.

And became...

The youngest Speaker in the history of the entire underworld.

[013] The mess taken over, the first target, Black Cat Hotel? [3 chapters]

Underworld.

High school.

Two completely different social states.

Yet they were happening to him in reality. That high school student life seemed to be gradually drifting away from him; this was destined to be a completely different life.

The gears of fate.

Perhaps they had already started turning the moment he was born into this world.

Flickering lights.

Dim night.

The car drove through the bustling streets. The diverse crowd outside seemed to truly slow down Lin Yu’s calm gaze, and the feeling of being constantly oppressed by life gradually dissipated.

He vaguely remembered that at sixteen, without a system and suffering from the cold glares of thugs, he had always thought that getting into university would make everything better. Who could have foreseen that fate is fickle? When his grandmother suddenly fell critically ill and needed money, he awakened the system and began fighting in underground boxing matches to pay for her treatment.

The boxing ring is a place of life and death. He had seen too many cruel endings there, so from that moment on, his personality began to change.

If his grandmother could see him earning so much money, she would surely be very happy. Even if he was just a "spokesman" for a mess, he was still a spokesman.

"Grandmother..."

Thinking of his grandmother, the slight traces of distraction in Lin Yu vanished, and he became the forever-calm Lin Yu once again.

Black Dog Gang.

Earth Dragon Gang.

The Black Dog Gang attacked, and the Earth Dragon Gang suffered heavy losses. The two major underworld forces in this city launched a bloody struggle. That very night, it alarmed many police officers. Police cars followed one after another through every street, and the number of patrolling officers increased to maintain order along the roadsides.

The smell of blood.

Permeated from many streets.

Some people realized.

This great battle.

Between the Black Dog Gang and the Earth Dragon Gang, only one would likely survive!

And right in the midst of this fierce and tragic struggle, a shocking piece of news spread through the underworld!

The Earth Dragon Gang!

A new, rising spokesman—Yama!

The appearance of this spokesman instantly drew the attention of countless people. The main reason was that this new spokesman had become famous in one battle at the bar on Taian Street!

Alone!

He slaughtered all the Black Dog Gang members who had stormed the bar. Even the Black Dog Gang’s Red Pole boss, Long, was cut down by him after unleashing 6,000 points of battle power!

It is said.

That night, the bar was a river of blood, with corpses piled up like mountains.

That figure, holding a machete, was like a demon. Even the surviving Black Dog Gang members were many of them left dazed and foolish from the scene.

And that figure.

Was also called—

Yama!

At the same time, he was appointed by the Earth Dragon Gang leader, Wang Wang Tulong, as the spokesman for Taian Street, in charge of managing the area. Most notably, this "Yama" seemed to be a new recruit to the Earth Dragon Gang, and he was very young, earning him the title of...

The youngest spokesman!

"Spokesman..."

"Heh..."

"With the Black Dog Gang attacking, the Earth Dragon Gang can barely protect itself. This Yama is making such a big splash now; he’s likely to be killed by Black Dog."

A thug sneered. The current situation for the Earth Dragon Gang did not look bright.

It was said that the Earth Dragon Gang leader was nearly killed by Black Dog, and his son was almost captured as well—it was extremely perilous. With Black Dog’s surprise attack, the Earth Dragon Gang had lost countless territories and many members, suffering heavy losses. To become a spokesman at such a time, and for this "Yama" to be so high-profile...

It was extremely dangerous!

Most importantly.

Everyone knew that the Earth Dragon Gang had suffered heavy losses in the Taian Street battle, with only a dozen or so members left. If they couldn't recruit new people in a short time, they would inevitably face major problems!

"Brother Yama!"

Lin Yu had just walked back into the bar.

The bar.

Had been cleaned up.

But the smell of blood still lingered.

After Lin Yu returned, the surviving Earth Dragon Gang members on both sides bowed, calling out to him with a mix of awe and fear.

Their eyes, looking at Lin Yu, held not just awe, but also curiosity.

Who could have imagined.

That a new arrival, someone who hadn't been highly regarded, would suddenly transform into the spokesman of this street and become their boss.

Yu Deng was the same, but looking at Lin Yu, he was no longer as simple and honest as before, appearing somewhat hurried and uneasy.

"..."

Lin Yu looked straight ahead, but when he reached Yu Deng, he paused slightly, patted Yu Deng on the shoulder, and then followed Ming Xiao up to the second-floor office.

Ming Xiao had been sent by Wang Wang Tulong to assist him; he was a driver and also served as a steward, helping Lin Yu with many matters.

"These are the assets on Taian Street."

"They are also what Sang Ni left behind."

Ming Xiao handed a stack of documents to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu opened them.

Inside were the assets of Taian Street, including a bar, a massage parlor, and a casino.

"Bars, gambling, and adult entertainment—we are involved in all of them."

"And these..."

Ming Xiao listed the assets one by one.

"These are profitable, but some have already started to run at a loss."

"This includes the loan sharking business."

Lin Yu flipped through the documents: "Loan sharking?"

Ming Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, the loan sharking was profitable before, but in this area, there are several competitors. Since we are short-handed on Taian Street, we have been firmly suppressed by the other groups."

"These groups have had conflicts with us, but we didn't want to bother with them. Otherwise, if these guys faced our Earth Dragon Gang, they wouldn't even dare to show their faces."

"The one currently lending money quite aggressively is this one..."

Ming Xiao pointed to information on one of the documents and said.

"It's called the Black Cat Hotel. The lending there used to be connected to us, but recently, because we didn't have enough manpower to manage it, the business drifted over to the Black Cat Hotel."

"However, the scale of the Black Cat Hotel..."

Ming Xiao smiled.

"Compared to our Taian Street assets, it's just small-time."

Clearly.

The Black Cat Hotel.

Was not even in the same league as the Earth Dragon Gang.

"However..."

"Because of the Black Dog Gang issue, our bar, gambling, and adult entertainment businesses have all been disrupted by them. We might not be able to open for business in the short term, so we can't make a profit."

"If this continues, our expenses won't be covered. If we are short on funds, it will be very troublesome. We need to select some of our previous assets to generate profit."

Ming Xiao continued.

Because of the Black Dog Gang, the profitable assets on Taian Street had started to lose money, and with insufficient manpower, they couldn't open in the short term. They had to find other ways to turn losses into profits.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Yu asked calmly.

"I've looked through the files. Loan sharking is currently very profitable. It can be turned into our main industry. We can start with that."

Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Good."

"Then..."

"Let's start with the Black Cat Hotel."
