Lin Xuan smiled faintly, "I actually think the Black Right Gang is quite good. Their leader is someone who knows when to yield and when to stand firm."
"Boss," Wang Ba said anxiously, "Don’t be fooled by Luo Fenhao. His flexibility is just an act. Everything he did today was just to make you spare them and lure you into joining the Black Right Gang so they can exploit you."
"Once he gets what he wants, he’ll kick you aside without hesitation!"
Lin Xuan scoffed. "Don’t worry. I have a hundred ways to tame him. If I become the leader of the Black Right Gang, I’ll make sure they kneel before me, not daring to harbor even a hint of disloyalty."
He had the means to do so.
"But, Boss—"
Wang Ba was frantic. He wanted to say more, but Lin Xuan raised a hand to stop him.
"Wang Ba, have you forgotten how you were when you first started following me? You were full of defiance too," Lin Xuan said with a raised brow.
Wang Ba choked on his words.
At the beginning, he had indeed been resentful toward his boss.
The Black Tiger Gang had been his creation, after all. Then an outsider appeared, took over their gang, and even renamed it.
Who wouldn’t be furious?
But as the Golden Dragon Gang grew stronger and more prosperous, he had come to admire Lin Xuan wholeheartedly. In fact, he now felt grateful that Lin Xuan had become their leader—without him, the Golden Dragon Gang would never have reached such heights.
Lin Xuan chuckled. "Even if Luo Fenhao has ulterior motives, I have plenty of ways to make him obey me."
Wang Ba thought, This is bad, really bad.
The boss sounded way too pleased with Luo Fenhao!
This couldn’t happen. The boss couldn’t be stolen away by the Black Right Gang!
Lin Xuan left.
Wang Ba gathered all the members of the Golden Dragon Gang together.
The gang members looked uneasy.
"Second-in-Command called us here in such a hurry. Is something about to happen?"
"Right, could it be that Dark Night Rose is backing out of the deal at the last minute?"
"That can’t be. I heard Dark Night Rose always keeps their word. They wouldn’t go back on a promise."
"If it’s not about Dark Night Rose, then why did the boss summon us so urgently?"
"We’ll find out soon enough."
Wang Ba arrived and took his place at the head of the room.
"Second-in-Command," the Golden Dragon Gang members greeted in unison, their voices respectful.
Wang Ba’s expression was grave.
Seeing his demeanor, the gang members grew tense.
"Second-in-Command, what’s wrong?" one subordinate asked worriedly.
"There’s something extremely important—something that concerns the Golden Dragon Gang’s standing in the underworld, even its very survival," Wang Ba said solemnly.
Their boss was their core.
If anything happened to him, or if he left the Golden Dragon Gang, they would lose their backbone.
The gang members exchanged uneasy glances.
This serious?
"Second-in-Command," one subordinate ventured cautiously, "Did Dark Night Rose refuse to cooperate with us?"
He couldn’t think of any other reason that would make Wang Ba speak so gravely.
After all, Wang Ba had been optimistic all year.
They had never seen him so grim before.
As soon as this subordinate spoke, others chimed in.
"Second-in-Command, if Dark Night Rose is breaking their word, we’ll just fight them. What’s there to fear?"
"Exactly! We don’t need to be afraid. We have our boss. With him, why should we worry?"
"That’s right! Second-in-Command, don’t be so pessimistic. Remember, our boss is incredible. Even if it’s Dark Night Rose, he can handle them."
It just wouldn’t be as easy as dealing with other gangs.
"Enough, enough," Wang Ba raised a hand to silence them.
The hall fell quiet instantly. Wang Ba scanned the room.
"What I’m about to say has nothing to do with Dark Night Rose."
At this, they frowned in confusion.
After a year of development under their boss, the Golden Dragon Gang had become the second-largest faction in the underworld.
No one dared provoke them anymore.
Apart from Dark Night Rose, they couldn’t imagine anything that would make Wang Ba look so troubled.
"Second-in-Command, if it’s not about Dark Night Rose, then why did you call us all here? What’s the urgent matter?" a subordinate asked, puzzled.
"This matter concerns our Golden Dragon Gang’s leader," Wang Ba stated.
The gang members exchanged bewildered looks.
About the boss?
What could it be?
Wang Ba spoke gravely. "The boss has led us for a year. You all know his capabilities by now."
A subordinate declared loudly, "Of course! The boss is a master of computer tech, martial arts, and strategy. He knows exactly how to grow our gang!"
Every member of the Golden Dragon Gang revered Lin Xuan.
It was impossible not to—he was just that extraordinary.
"Second-in-Command, why bring this up now? Has something happened to the boss?" one member asked, concern etched on his face.
Wang Ba nodded. "You’re right. Something has happened to the boss."
Boom!
The entire gang tensed at his words.
"Second-in-Command, tell us! What’s wrong with the boss?"
"Yeah! Is he hurt? Who dared lay a hand on him? We won’t let them get away with it!"
Anger burned in their eyes.
Their boss was the Golden Dragon Gang’s most treasured asset.
Anyone who dared harm him had a death wish!
Wang Ba replied, "It’s the Black Right Gang."
Black Right Gang?
The gang members looked confused.
Hadn’t their boss already subdued them?
How could they possibly threaten him?
Only Wang Ba had been present when Luo Fenhao tried to recruit Lin Xuan as their new leader—the others knew nothing about it.
"Second-in-Command, just tell us! What did the Black Right Gang do to our boss?" a member pressed urgently.
This suspense was killing them.
Wang Ba continued, "Don’t worry. They’re no match for our boss. They couldn’t lay a finger on him."
"That’s a relief," the gang sighed collectively.
But… if the Black Right Gang hadn’t harmed their boss, why did Wang Ba still look so grim?
Curiosity gnawed at them.
"However…" Wang Ba added, "Luo Fenhao, the leader of the Black Right Gang, tried to lure our boss into joining them—even offering him their leadership position."
