Before Lu Yuan could even find a chair, someone next to him immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Hehehe, just bringing in any kind of servant is nothing. Is this your place to sit? Go wait outside."
The speaker was a middle-aged man around forty years old. His head was covered in a golden light that shone brightly under the lamplight, and his eyes were full of disdain.
It seems that just saying "scary" is enough to show that he has a very high status.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly; he hated being addressed that way.
However, he wasn't too worried that the other party would make a move at this time.
Although the guards in the room were all armed, Lu Yuan knew that with so many big shots present, they might accidentally injure each other if they dared to use their guns, so it was just for show.
Lu Yuan didn't understand at all. He remained seated, then lit a cigarette and gave it to Luo Cheng. After seeing Lu Yuan's performance, Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then lit a cigar and slowly spoke to the bald man.
"Liu Si, this is my second-in-command, mainly in charge of the army. Why can't he sit here?"
After hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Liu Si's eyes.
"Luo Cheng, you're not being honest. We agreed that there would be twelve families sharing this cake, but now you've brought one more person, making it thirteen families. How are we going to divide it? If two people share one piece, there's no need for him to come along."
Luo Cheng snorted coldly, then coughed up the ash from his cigarette.
"How will it be divided? We'll discuss it together later. Whoever tells you that everyone gets a share, what, you think you're in charge now, setting the rules?"
A cold glint appeared on Liu Si's face.
"What do you mean? Luo Cheng, are you saying there are still people who won't get any? Ask everyone here who won't get any. Did you decide that, or who decided that?"
"Haha, don't get so worked up. When did I say that someone wouldn't get any? I was just saying it was a possibility. There's no room for discussion until things are settled. By the way, almost everyone's here. Since everyone's here, let's begin!"
So some of the group sat down in chairs, while others picked up their knives and forks. The room was quiet, with only the clinking of plates being heard.
Luo Cheng pointed to the group of people in front of him, who were roasting a suckling pig.
"Everyone, this roast suckling pig will get cold if we leave it any longer. It's so crispy and crunchy, I really want everyone to try it!"
At that moment, someone immediately spoke up.
"Hey, don't start yet. This roast suckling pig is delicious, but there's only one. There are twelve people here, no, thirteen. How are we going to divide it? Who can divide a whole roast suckling pig properly?"
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere, and everyone present fell silent.
They all stared at Luo Cheng, wanting to see how he would divide the cake with the long knife in his hand. Luo Cheng chuckled and placed the knife on the table.
"I'm just a businessman, unlike you big shots who fought your way up from the bloodbath. So when it comes to dividing the pie, I think we should find someone else, someone more capable. What do you think?"
A chorus of approval erupted from the crowd. They felt that Luo Cheng was not qualified, so after much deliberation, they decided to vote.
"Let's vote! Let's elect someone more suitable to cut the cake. How about the person who doesn't cut the suckling pig shares it with everyone?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that this was an excellent idea.
So everyone raised their hands to vote, but it seemed that a decision had already been made.
When everyone raised their arms, it felt a little awkward, as if they had all stolen votes for them. When it was Luo Cheng's turn, he raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, everyone, I also plan to cast my vote for myself!"
After saying that, he lowered his arm and looked at Lu Yuan beside him: "Brother, what about you? Which one are you planning to vote for?"
Luo Cheng's words immediately drew a chorus of discontent from Yinuo.
"Boss Luo, what do you mean? We all came alone, but you brought two people, so the votes are definitely on your side. How are we supposed to vote?!"
"Exactly, exactly! You've got a brilliant plan! We each have one vote, and you have two. Do you really think you're more capable than us or what?"
"Goodness, so this is how elections are conducted? If you're going to say that, I should have brought more people. Then what chance would you guys have?"
"That was quite a clever move, haha, I've never seen such a ridiculous way to snatch tickets before, it's truly laughable!"
This sarcastic remark did not make Luo Cheng feel embarrassed at all.
He simply chuckled softly, then stood up and introduced Lu Yuan to the witness.
"Well, some of you might not know this, but this is one of my brothers and my best partner, Lin Hao. I plan to hand over my army to him to manage."
Furthermore, the military will be separated from my company in the future, so it will become another territory in this no-man's-land. Before, there were twelve of us, and it wasn't good to divide the territory however we wanted.
Since one person has been separated, there's now an extra person, and the vote will determine a winner! How come he doesn't have the right to vote?
Upon hearing his words, someone in the room immediately became restless; it was the bald man named Liu Si.
"I see you're planning to take over this no-man's-land today, aren't you? What a clever scheme!"
Luo Chen glanced at the other person at first.
"That's right, that's why I came here. Otherwise, why would I be here with you all? Besides, I provided the venue, the food, and even the knives and forks in your hands. Do you think I can't say something to you?"
As he said this, Luo Cheng's eyes were filled with a cold glint, and everyone present knew that Luo Cheng was definitely about to make a move.
So everyone suppressed their anger.
They decided to give him a chance for now, and if his method of cutting pork wasn't good, then they would all stand up and object together.
In short, we can't give the other side a chance. At worst, all four of us will fight to the death. We're all local bullies in this lawless area, and none of us are weaker than the other.
Therefore, Lu Yuan cast his vote for Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng received the most votes at the event.
With a grin, he picked up the knife from the other side of the house again, cut off the pig's head, and placed it beside him.
