Seeing the two locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to yield, Jiang Tiansheng seemed to have thought of something. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

On the way, Shen Dong kept thinking about a question.

In the world of martial arts, it's a common occurrence for you to kill me or I to kill you.

Shen Dong couldn't understand why Lian Haolong would cause trouble for him over a mere Ah Wu.

In the movie "Fatal Move", after Ah Wu is arrested by the police, Lian Haolong sends Luo Tianhong and others to the police station to kill him in order to prevent him from revealing his secrets.

Why is it that even in this real world, Haolong cares so much about Wu?

Seeing that Shen Dong was frowning and silent, Ahua asked, "Brother Dong, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Dong expressed his doubts, and after listening, Ahua laughed and said, "Brother Dong, you're really blinded by your own involvement."

Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ahua said, "Lian Haolong is a ruthless and ambitious man. He would never hold a grudge over Awu's death. He deliberately created a bad relationship with us, most likely to get a reason to start a war."

Shen Dong suddenly realized and said, "You mean he's eyeing our territory? Wait, no, it's not just the territory, I'm afraid he's also eyeing our companies."

Ahua nodded and said, "Very likely."

Shen Dong sneered, "Lian Haolong has quite the appetite! No matter the reason, as long as Lian Haolong is hostile to us, he is our enemy. The best course of action is to strike first. Once the situation in Macau is settled, we will send Lian Haolong down to sell salted duck eggs."

Ahua said, "Brother Dong, Lian Haolong has quite a few loyal followers. It's best not to let the people of Zhongyixin know that we did it."

Shen Dong said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to kill Lian Haolong in public."

On the other side, after finalizing their action plan, Jiang Tiansheng, Lian Haolong, Da D, and Hong Nan each dispatched 1,500 men to Haojiang that very night. With lightning speed, they seized a considerable amount of territory and killed hundreds of members of the Number Gang and the Water Street Gang.

Lei Gong, Mo Pingding, and Lai Haodong reacted very quickly, immediately organizing their forces to fight against the four major gangs.

Instantly, the entire city of Haojiang was filled with the sounds of battle and gunfire.

The main reason why Macao is a melting pot of people and gangs is that the area will be returned to China in a few years, and the Portuguese government hardly gets involved.

From 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning, the six triads fought for a full six hours, and the streets were covered in blood, but the Haojiang police did not send any officers.

It wasn't until 6 a.m. that the Macau government, seeing that neither side had stopped, had no choice but to send in the police.

The first battle in the competition among the seven major triads for control of the casinos in Macau has now come to an end.

More than 1,300 people were killed or injured on Hong Kong Island, of whom at least 800 suffered gunshot wounds.

The situation was even worse on the Haojiang side, where the death toll reached three thousand, and two-thirds of the eight hundred or so people brought by Lei Gong died.

Lai Haodong and Mo Pingding were assassinated by the Taisheng assassin team. The former was shot in the arm and the latter was shot three times. They were immediately sent to the ICU by his underlings.

Lei Gong quickly transferred more than 1,200 people from the headquarters in Taiwan, led by the Earl of Zhongyong.

Chicken left Macau when Lei Kung seized Hung Hing Casino.

He's caught in the middle, so he has no choice but to remain neutral.

In the afternoon, the leaders of the three major gangs—Sanlian Gang, Number Gang, and Shuifang Gang—gathered together again.

However, the leader of the Number Gang was seriously injured and his head was worn out. In his place came his henchman, Zhan Chang, who was known as Black Impermanence.

Lei Gong took a puff of his cigar and asked, "Zhan Chang, what's the situation with your boss right now?"

Zhan Chang said, "He's out of danger. He had just woken up before I arrived."

Lai Haodong, who had injured an arm, cursed, "Damn it, these Hong Kong gangsters are really insidious, they actually dared to shoot us in the back."

Lei Gong frowned and said, "Boss Lai, Haojiang is your territory. What do you think we should do next?"

Lai Haodong said without hesitation, "Of course we'll fight. Damn it, they've taken a third of my territory. If we don't take it back, my losses will be too great."

Zhan Chang chimed in, "That's what the boss thinks too. Macau is our territory, and we absolutely cannot let Hong Kong gangs move in. Otherwise, we might not even have anything to eat in the future."

Lei Gong said, "The question is, how do we fight this battle?"

Lai Haodong said, "I got a batch of weapons from the black market in the United States. I'll pick them up at 10 p.m. tonight. Hmph, as long as I have guns, I can easily take care of those bastards in Hong Kong."

Lei Gong asked, "Will the government intervene?"

Lai Haodong said, "Those Portuguese guys are both cowardly and greedy. This afternoon, I had someone send them one million US dollars. Even if they blow up Macau tonight, they won't care. However, this money..."

Lei Gong immediately understood and said, "This matter started because of me, so I'll pay for it."

Lai Haodong gave a thumbs up and said, "Great job."

Meanwhile, the leaders of the four major triads on Hong Kong Island were also having a meeting.

Jiang Tiansheng said confidently, "Last night we seized a lot of territory, including seven or eight casinos with more than a hundred gambling tables. Mo Pingding was seriously injured, and Lai Haodong was also shot in the arm. The whole operation can be described as a great success."

Lian Haolong said, "Our losses are also considerable, with over 1,300 dead and wounded. I estimate they will launch a counterattack tonight."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too, so I transferred another two thousand men from Hong Kong Island. Mr. Hong, now that this fight has escalated to this point, shouldn't Hong Tai also send some men?"

Hong Nan frowned and said, "According to the previous agreement, our mission was only to assassinate Mo Pingding and Lai Haodong. You're asking me to provide manpower, so what happened to the previous agreement?"

Big D said, "The previous agreement is null and void. No matter the outcome, the four of us will split those casinos equally."

Jiang Tiansheng said, "I have no objection."

Lian Haolong said, "Agreed."

Hong Nan said, "I'll send over a thousand brothers from Taisheng Security Company right away. They are well-trained and extremely fierce in fights. A thousand men can be used as three thousand men."

Big D said, "We have the men, but what about the weapons?"

Jiang Tiansheng said, "Don't worry. Han Bin is involved in smuggling and knows a group of arms dealers in South Vietnam. Han Bin will deliver this batch of weapons before 10 p.m.

Big D laughed heartily and said, "That's wonderful!"

Lian Haolong asked, "Will the Haojiang police be dispatched?"

Jiang Tiansheng said, "I'll go talk to the Commissioner of the Macau Police Department right away. If he's willing to help, we can give him 20% of the casino's profits. What do you think?"

Big D and Hong Nan both frowned but remained silent.

Lian Haolong exhaled a smoke ring and said, "We are an outside gang. If we want to gain a foothold in Macau, it would be best if we could establish a relationship with the Macau government. In my opinion, regardless of whether they agree to help us or not, we must give them 20% of the profits."
