A murderous glint flashed in Shen Dong's eyes as he said, "No rush. Let them fight like dogs for a while. We'll make our move when they're almost done."
Ah Hua said, "Besides the Triads, Tung Sing is also a big problem. Brother Tung, Camel has already threatened to take you down."
Shen Dong said calmly, "We'll meet force with force and water with earth. We've taken over three streets in Mong Kok, so our territory is much larger now. We need to recruit more men immediately. Let's set the number at eight hundred."
"My requirement is that all 800 people undergo a month of military training, which will be overseen by Ahui."
Chen Hui nodded and said, "No problem."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Let's start drinking."
Two hours later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and went about their own business.
At the same time, a meeting was being held at the headquarters of East Star.
The meeting was chaired by Camel, and sitting at the front were the Five Tigers and Three Phoenixes: Dragon-Catching Tiger Situ Haonan, Thunder-Rushing Tiger Lei Yaoyang, Mountain-Descending Tiger Crow, Golden-Haired Tiger Sha Meng, Golden Phoenix Luo Zhu, and Silver Phoenix Bai Yuling.
Wu Zhiwei, the Smiling Tiger among the Five Tigers, was killed by Shen Dong, and Hei Fengzhu, one of the Three Phoenixes, was assassinated, so neither of them are present.
It would be a grave mistake to say that Tung Sing only has five tigers and three phoenixes.
As a top-tier triad society in Hong Kong, Tung Sing's influence is in no way inferior to Hung Hing's.
The Five Tigers and Three Phoenixes were just the eight most famous people in Tung Sing. In addition to them, there were six other leaders of different branches: Si Hai, Harry, Fei Zai Ping, Ya Lang, Heng Mei, and Yu Ba.
These six people are scattered throughout Hong Kong Island, and none of them are easy to get along with.
Although Camel was the head of the Tung Sing triad, his control over the organization was not as strong as Chiang Tin-sang's.
"Everyone probably knows that Ah Wei was killed by Shen Dong."
Camel cut to the chase without any preamble, saying, "We at Dongxing absolutely cannot ignore Ah Wei's death. Otherwise, we'll be ridiculed by the entire martial arts world. Let's all share our thoughts."
The arrogant crow said, "This matter is not up for discussion; Shen Dong must die."
Situ Haonan chimed in, "That's right. Yaoyang, you and Shen Dong each own three streets in Mong Kok, so you're practically neighbors. I think you should take over this business."
Lei Yaoyang curled his lip and said, "It's not that I'm trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing my own. If we could take down Shen Dong, those three most lucrative streets in Mong Kok would have been mine long ago, and Ah Wei wouldn't be dead. Let me put it this way, in a direct confrontation, none of the people here are a match for Shen Dong."
Thinking of Shen Dong's blood-soaked appearance that night, even after so many days, Lei Yaoyang still felt lingering fear.
Situ Haonan laughed and said, "Yaoyang, you're already showing fear before the battle even begins. That's not like you at all."
Lei Yaoyang said, "Brother Haonan, you are the Double Red Flower Stick of our Tung Sing. I think it would be better if you just issued a challenge to Shen Dong. If you beat him to death in the ring, even Hung Hing would have nothing to say."
Situ Haonan cursed, "Damn it, do we have to sign a waiver of life and death? What era are we living in? They're still doing this stuff."
The conflicts among the five tigers were deep-rooted and long-standing; almost every meeting they held would end in a verbal battle.
The local gang leaders were clearly used to it; they sat there silently, smoking.
Camel frowned and said, "Shen Dong is indeed no ordinary boss; he has quite a few formidable men under his command. What I mean is that we should all work together to take him down."
Suddenly, Sha Meng, who had been silent, asked, "Brother Luo, Awei's territory is quite large. What are you planning to do about it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the camel.
Camel said, "Whoever can kill Shen Dong will get the territory."
Sandfly's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'll take this mission."
Yao Yang coughed and said, "Brother Luo, Situ Haonan said that my territory is closest to Shen Dong's, so let me handle it."
Situ Haonan said disdainfully, "Yaoyang, didn't you say that Shen Dong is too powerful and that you are no match for him?"
Yaoyang pointed to his head and said confidently, "I admit I'm no match for Shen Dong in a fight, but I'm much stronger here than Shen Dong."
Crows and local leaders volunteered to take down Shen Dong.
Smiling Tiger's territory spans four streets, and his monthly profit exceeds three million. Adding the money from selling drugs in the venue, he can easily surpass ten million.
With such huge profits, no one will be polite.
A bunch of money-grubbing bastards who don't care about people!
Camel cursed inwardly, but kept a straight face and said, "Awei is one of the Five Tigers. Let the other four Tigers handle the task of killing Shen Dong. Yaoyang, you know Shen Dong best, so he's in your hands."
Lei Yaoyang raised an eyebrow and said, "No problem."
After the meeting, Lei Yaoyang invited Situ Haonan to a teahouse.
Among the Five Tigers, Situ Haonan is the strongest, with over a thousand underlings.
"Yaoyang, what do you want with me?"
"Situ, I want to cooperate with you to take down Chen Dong and split Awei's territory. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Haonan immediately became interested and asked, "Are you that afraid of Chen Dong?"
Lei Yaoyang shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I hope to be 100% sure. My plan is to kill Shen Dong together when he's alone."
Situ Haonan said, "Why don't you just take a few dozen of your men with you?"
Lei Yaoyang said, "Shen Dong's kung fu is extremely impressive."
“I heard from Awei’s underlings that during the melee, Shen Dong, along with Li Jie and Tian Yangsheng, killed more than two hundred of his underlings before finally reaching Awei and killing him.”
"With such combat power, if he were determined to escape, ordinary underlings wouldn't be able to stop him at all."
“Situ, I know you have quite a few underlings who are skilled in martial arts, which is why I wanted to collaborate with you.”
Situ Haonan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone says that Lei Yaoyang is an arrogant and domineering tiger who looks down on everyone, but now it seems that the rumors are untrue."
Lei Yaoyang said, "I may be a bit arrogant, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. Situ, give me a straight answer."
Situ Haonan said, "Okay, I agree. But let's be cautious first and settle this later. After it's done, I want Ah Wei's territory in Tsuen Wan."
Lei Yaoyang was taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The Smiling Tiger is just one street in Tsuen Wan.
Although it is relatively prosperous, it is not superior to other areas.
After a year, the profit is only one million.
Logically speaking, Situ Haonan shouldn't have chosen only this one street.
Seeing Lei Yaoyang's expression, Situ Haonan smiled slightly and said, "After Shen Dong died, his territory in Tsuen Wan became unclaimed. Yaoyang, you need to lend me a thousand men; I want to take it over."
Lei Yaoyang suddenly realized and said, "I see. Situ, you really do think three steps ahead for every one step you take. Okay, no problem."
The two raised their teacups, clinked them together, and that was considered an agreement.
