After listening to Wang Zhao's words, all the hall masters realized that this Li Sihou was an uncertain factor.

Now everyone here openly agrees with Liu Shang's decision, if Li Sihou leaves...

It's highly likely that their affair will reach Liu Shang's ears.

They had no choice but to leave Li Sihou here.

"Haha, you selfish bastards! The reason you won't let me leave is because you're afraid I'll tell Liu Shang! A bunch of short-sighted fools. If you don't get eliminated by society, who will you be!"

Looking at these hypocritical fellows, Li Sihou himself didn't want his existing power taken away.

So he shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Guards, take him away!"

Seeing that Li Sihou had gone mad, Wang Zhao immediately ordered his men to say something.

"Just you wait. If you really do that, even your own men won't be loyal to you anymore. Let me go!"

Li Sihou, who was being held up by Wang Zhao's men, struggled fiercely.

But it was of no use at all, so he addressed all the hall masters.

He wanted to use his words to persuade those who were prepared to follow Wang Zhao to change their minds.

"Alright, one troublemaker is gone. Now we need to figure out how to deal with things tomorrow. Everyone can share their thoughts."

When he could no longer hear Li Sihou's voice at all, Wang Zhao turned to look at the hall master present and said.

"I remain neutral on this matter, and I will not be attending tomorrow's event."

Two of the hall masters didn't want to get involved in this matter, possibly because they were moved by what Li Sihou had just said.

He changed his mind, finished speaking, and got up to leave.

"See the two hall masters off."

After listening to the two hall masters, Wang Zhao lowered his head and gave orders to his subordinates with a very ugly expression.

The subordinates led the two hall masters away from the conference room.

"ah!"

As soon as they left the conference room, the screams of the two hall masters who had just left could be heard outside.

Those inside the conference room could clearly hear the sounds outside.

Cold sweat dripped down their faces, and they all turned their gazes toward Wang Zhao, who sat in the main seat.

They knew that Wang Zhao wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal today; otherwise, he wouldn't have invited them to his territory for a meeting.

They all realized they had fallen into Wang Zhao's trap.

And you?

Wang Zhao lowered his head and asked the crowd in a deep voice.

"Of course we will follow your brother's lead."

"We are willing to cooperate."

"I'll have to follow your lead tomorrow."

"We'll prepare as soon as we get back today."

Everyone started to choose sides.

They didn't care about anything else; if they didn't make a statement today, they probably wouldn't even be able to leave this meeting room.

If they follow Wang Zhao, they can keep their positions if they succeed tomorrow.

"Alright, since all the hall masters have agreed, now everyone should call their subordinates and make the arrangements. We'll rest here for today, and we'll go together tomorrow."

Finally hearing these people state their position, Wang Zhao raised his head and smiled.

But he was still very uneasy about these profit-driven people, so he said to the crowd.

Upon hearing that they were asked to make phone calls on the spot, everyone understood what Wang Zhao was trying to do; it showed that he didn't trust them.

"Go ahead and fight, or I'll send my men over to help you."

Seeing that no one was making a call, Wang Zhao spoke to the group in a slightly threatening tone.

The screams outside still echoed in everyone's ears, reminding them of Wang Zhao's ruthlessness.

So they all took out their phones and began giving instructions to their subordinates as Wang Zhao had told them.

"Alright, I've prepared a sumptuous meal for you later. Let's drink until we drop tonight."

Seeing that everyone had acted according to the plan, Wang Zhao felt relieved and smiled at them.

After making the call, the hall masters felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Wang Zhao's smile.

Under the guidance of Wang Zhao's men, everyone left the conference room.

They headed towards the room that Wang Zhao had already prepared for them.

When they got to a place not far from the conference room, they saw that the ground was covered in blood.

When people are lying down, their faces are filled with fear.

The two hall masters who had just left were beaten beyond recognition and barely clinging to life.

Those who compromised breathed a sigh of relief at their choice; if they had left too, there wouldn't have been just two people lying there.

Some people thought that if things had already turned out this way just because they refused to cooperate and left, then Li Sihou, who had initially clashed with Wang Zhao, might already be...

Just thinking about this makes the hairs on the back of my head stand on end.

They dared not think any further and could only follow Wang Zhao's instructions.

Just after all the hall masters finished making their calls, Da Xiong, Zhang Helei, and two others each brought a group of people.

They swiftly subdued the gang leader's men who were about to make a move; these men had just received their gang leader's orders when they were instantly taken down.

"Now there's only one place left that we haven't visited."

Da Xiong, Zhang He, and Lei Yansheng reunited and marked all the places they had dealt with.

After Zhang He looked at all the places marked with an "X", he looked at the last place with a serious expression and said to the two of them.

"Isn't it just that guy Wang Zhao? Leave him to me."

Seeing Zhang He's solemn expression, Da Xiong followed Zhang He's gaze.

Upon seeing the last location, he confidently assured Zhang He.

"Big Bear, don't be impulsive. Let's listen to Zhang He's arrangements for this matter."

Seeing that Da Xiong was about to leave, Lei Yansheng quickly pulled him back and said something to him.

After listening, Big Bear nodded, having spent half a day on the matter.

Big Bear had begun to admire Zhang He, and his initial hostility had disappeared.

Both men turned their gaze to Zhang He, awaiting his final decision.

"I spent the afternoon learning that all the hall masters have gone to Wang Zhao's place. Many of them had already given orders to their subordinates before we arrived, and they were already preparing how to start causing trouble tomorrow. Only three hall masters have not sent back any messages."

Zhang He shared what he had learned over the afternoon with the two men.

"I understand. You mean Wang Zhao has taken control of all the hall masters, and all but three have sided with him?"

After hearing Zhang He's words, Lei Yansheng seemed to realize something and asked Zhang He with a shocked expression.

Lei Yansheng was also reluctant to believe that so many hall masters had been persuaded by Wang Zhao.
