The gang leader was furious that a mere waiter dared to go against them, and slapped him across the face.
The waiter nimbly stepped back, but the gang leader, without stopping, stumbled forward a few steps.
Embarrassed, he laughed in anger, "Fine, fine, I think your dance hall is tired of living. If I don't smash this place up, I'll change my surname to yours."
"Brothers..."
Before the slogans could even be shouted, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from backstage at the dance hall.
They were all dressed in the uniforms of dance hall staff, but their aura was unlike that of ordinary people.
With a touch of... banditry?
"Old Black?" Several of them exclaimed in surprise when they saw the Black Boss.
After his initial surprise, he frowned. "Old Hei, are you going to cause trouble here with those guys you've brought?"
The gang leader was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this the Black Tiger Gang's doing?"
"Yes, that's right." He admitted it immediately.
"Brother Hei, should we smash it or not?" The guys behind the gang leader were undecided when they heard that this place was also gang territory.
The gang leader glanced around.
The news that the Black Tiger Gang was planning to set up a formal dance hall had spread throughout the gang, and they scoffed at it.
Who would go to a dance hall where they can't indulge in unrestrained fun?
People are just like that, aren't they?
A formal dance hall... Pshaw, no gambling, no drugs, no women, it's no fun at all.
Everyone in the circle is saying that the Black Tiger Gang is going to lose everything by putting on this show.
This week, all the major gangs were focused on Big Beard's business and didn't pay attention to the Black Tiger Gang.
I had no idea the Black Tiger Gang's dance hall had opened.
It's quite a coincidence that a gangster boss would walk into this dance hall.
The other day, his godfather received news that the reason Big Beard offered such high salaries to the gangs was to use their power to smuggle his large shipment of weapons out of Southeast Asia, and then plan to abandon them once they arrived.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is not impossible that this could happen.
When the bearded man first approached them, the leaders of the four major gangs were suspicious, which is why they brought other smaller gangs into their fold.
His godfather has been in a bad mood these past few days because the fate of the gang and the life and death of his henchmen are at stake.
They didn't want to be taken advantage of by the bearded man, but they also couldn't bear to part with such a large sum of money.
The more he agonized over it, the worse his mood became. The gang leader had been eating several bad meals and was quite irritable, so he took a few of his men out to relax.
I happened to see a dance hall here, so I went in without thinking.
Who would have thought that they would stumble upon the Black Tiger Gang's territory by sheer coincidence.
Now, things are a bit stuck in a limbo.
After hearing his subordinate's words, he said irritably, "What are you smashing? Let's go."
Although leaving like that was embarrassing and shameful, he was smart enough not to cause trouble at a time when his godfather was in a bad mood.
"Oh," the subordinate replied listlessly.
He thought to himself that their new leader was a coward.
If it were his previous boss, he would have already grabbed a machete and led his men to smash this place up.
It's just a small gang's territory, what's there to be afraid of?
The henchmen exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disdain for their gang leader.
Well, what can you do when someone is flexible and adaptable?
Back when the gang leader was still the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, he followed the example of others and sought a powerful backer. When the Triad boss passed by, he suddenly knelt down at the man's feet and said he wanted to be his son.
The triad leader agreed when he saw how humble he was.
If it benefits both sides, there's nothing we can't agree to.
The gang leader found a powerful backer and protection.
The triad boss indirectly expanded his influence and the number of his henchmen.
Win-win.
"Wait." Just as the gang leader and his men were about to leave the dance hall, they were suddenly stopped.
A waiter called out to him.
The gang leader was in a bad mood. "Speak your mind, or shut up."
The waiter pointed to a corner in the distance, "That lady asked me to call you over. She said she wants to talk to you about something."
The gang leader looked in the direction he was pointing.
All that could be seen was a woman with long, flowing hair standing in the back, with a tall, long-legged man standing next to her, who looked like a bodyguard.
The gang leader's eyes flickered.
Although I don't know what she wanted to talk to me about.
But people who can have bodyguards with them usually have impressive backgrounds.
It's worthwhile to learn more about it.
He readily agreed and told his men, "You can sit here in this booth and wait for me. Order your own drinks if you want."
His men said, "Brother Hei, let's go with you. What if he's not a good guy?"
The gang leader glanced at them and decisively refused, saying, "What's there to be afraid of in a woman?"
Don't think he doesn't know what they're thinking.
He simply thought that woman was extraordinary and wanted to go and make her acquaintance.
They certainly have a lot on their minds.
When he abandoned the Black Tiger Gang's underlings and joined the Triads alone, he had already anticipated that those who had followed him for many years would either be unreliable.
"...Alright, the brothers will wait for you here." A few of his men were a little unwilling, but they didn't dare to say anything.
The gang leader sneered inwardly and walked towards the corner.
"Miss, the waiter said you were looking for me?" The gang leader's eyes widened in amazement the moment he saw the woman's face. Then, realizing what was happening, he tried to sit down next to her, acting like a gentleman.
He assumed that the woman had taken a liking to him.
As he bent his knees and was about to sit down, a large hand grabbed his shoulder.
Then he was practically lifted up and thrown to the opposite side.
A cold voice rang in my ear, "Excuse me, my lady has mysophobia."
He said he was sorry, but his attitude showed no sincerity whatsoever in apologizing.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness?
Does this bodyguard mean he's something unclean?
The gang leader clenched his fists in anger.
"Are you a member of the Triads?" Before the gang leader could react, the woman spoke calmly, interrupting his emotions.
The gang leader, interrupted, couldn't afford to retaliate any further. He glared coldly at the man before turning to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Yes, Miss, you've heard of my great name?"
Is he really that famous now?
The gang leader thought to himself narcissistically.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't answer. Instead, she leaned back lazily, turned the bracelet on her wrist, and squinted at him for a few moments.
At first, the gang leader could still stare at Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
My gaze is now uncontrollably wandering over the jewelry she's wearing.
Imperial green jade bracelet, pearl necklace, diamond ring...
Even the hair clip she casually wore on her head was studded with pink diamonds.
She's definitely a rich heiress.
A hint of ambition and calculation flashed in the eyes of the gang leader.
Little did he know that his every move was being watched by Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Wuyan.
Lin Xiaoxiao got the response she wanted, and without wasting words, she got straight to the point, "I heard that old bastard Perry has a batch of weapons that he entrusted to your Hong Kong gangs for smuggling and escort?"
