The other side.
Located in the southwest of the chaotic land is a luxurious manor, which is the headquarters of the Golden Bell Gang, one of the three major gangs.
At this time, the hall master Shen Lingfeng retreated here with the remaining troops.
Inside the courtyard, Shen Lingfeng's angry shouts were heard:
"Kong Qi, Qu Jun, I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!"
"What the hell do you all do for a living? You don't even know that the Red River Society and the Po Yue Gang have secretly joined forces!?"
After scolding his subordinates, Shen Lingfeng turned to his second son, Shen Bin, and scolded: "Didn't I ask you to do your best to bid for the Black Yao Fruit? Why did you lose to the Red River Club?"
Shen Bin said aggrievedly: "Father, who would have thought that the Po Yue Gang would actually lend its resources to the Red River Society? How can we compete with the resources of one gang against the two of them?"
"You dare to talk back?"
Shen Lingfeng pretended to hit him, but Shen Bin retreated backwards with his neck shrunk.
A round-faced elder stood up nearby. He was an elder from the Jinzhong Hall, named Lei Tao. He was highly respected in the gang and was also the teacher of the Second Young Master Shen. He immediately said, "Master, the Second Young Master has performed very well. There's no need to be so harsh on him..."
"Why……"
Shen Lingfeng sighed helplessly and said, "There is no one around this hall master who can be used. Even my son is like this..."
At this point, Shen Lingfeng seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, “Shen Bin, where is your brother?”
When Shen Bin heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he secretly blamed himself for forgetting that useless brother.
If he could transfer his father's anger to that useless elder brother, he would naturally be fine.
Thinking of this, Shen Bin immediately replied: "Father, I heard from my subordinates that the eldest brother often appeared near the Newcomer Square some time ago. It seems that he even gave a temporarily vacant small manor in our hall to a newcomer who had just entered the upper realm..."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingfeng's face turned pale and he cursed, "I fought with all my brothers to build up this little fortune in this chaotic place, and he gave it away with just a few words?
This useless thing is really more trouble than good! "
"Father, please don't blame my elder brother. After all, no matter how bad my elder brother is, he is still your flesh and blood, and he is my elder brother..." Shen Bin said helplessly.
"Someone! Tell that loser to come over here and see me!"
The men immediately went to look for Master Shen.
Not long after, a young man in a black robe and with a stern face walked in.
While walking, his right index finger was always placed on the side of his nose, making him look very cool.
However, in the eyes of the powerful men of Jinzhongtang around him, there was only sarcasm and ridicule, and they seemed to be looking at a fool.
If Ye Chen were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the young man who just walked in was the guide he met when he first came to the upper realm - Chen Kan.
At this moment, Chen Kan still maintained a cold look.
It was not until he saw Shen Lingfeng that he took the finger off his nose and said respectfully, "Father, are you looking for me?"
"What the hell have you been doing all this time?"
Shen Lingfeng roared angrily.
"Father...Father, I didn't do anything..."
Shen Kan's eyes were a little flustered, and in front of Shen Lingfeng, he had lost his usual cool and cool look.
But who would have thought that if he hadn't said anything, it would have been better. Instead, he said it, which made Ye Chen Lingfeng even more furious: "You useless thing, all you do is idle away all day long. You don't care about the gang's affairs at all. Why did I give birth to a piece of trash like you?"
"I……"
Chen Kan opened his mouth, wanting to say something in defense, but in the end he didn't say anything and chose to swallow his anger.
Is it that he doesn't want to do something?
Isn't it because of the exclusion by his stepmother and second brother that he ended up in this situation today?
Ever since his biological mother died when he was a child, his stepmother took over and gave birth to his younger brother, Shen Bin. From then on, he had no place to stay in the entire family, or even the entire gang.
Even his younger brother has a special teacher to tutor him, but he, as the older brother, has always been left at large and has no way to make progress.
Moreover, his stepmother cut off his monthly gang resources and transferred them all to his younger brother Shen Bin.
He had protested to his father Shen Lingfeng, but Shen Lingfeng turned a blind eye and ignored him.
As time went by, Chen Kan gave up on himself and became idle.
In order to earn some resources to support his livelihood, he even went to the Newcomer Square to work as a tour guide. Although this kind of work did not make as much money as others who killed and robbed others, he gained gratitude and admiration from the newcomers, which made him find the meaning of his life and the long-lost...confidence.
"Master, please don't make things difficult for the eldest young master. Even if he works hard, what can he change for the gang? Maybe things will become even more chaotic and worse than they are now..." Elder Lei Tao comforted.
But these words sounded like an excuse for Shen Kan, but in fact they were secretly belittling the former again, and it was almost like engraving the word "waste" on Shen Kan's forehead.
This was also a way for him, as Shen Bin's teacher, to secretly suppress Shen Kan and improve the status of his own disciple in disguise.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingfeng glanced at Shen Kan with disgust, and then cursed impatiently: "Get out! Go and drive out the newcomer you brought into the small manor a few days ago. From now on, without the order from me or Shen Bin, you are not allowed to dispose of any of the gang's resources and industries without permission!"
Shen Kan was stunned when he heard this. He knew that his father was talking about the house where Ye Chen lived now.
He immediately defended himself, "Father, I rented out that manor and I've already collected the rent..."
"How did you rent it and how much is the rent?"
"One hundred cubic meters of Tianyuan Qi a month. I've collected two thousand cubic meters of Tianyuan Qi from him in total. I'll give them a discount and let them rent it for two years."
As soon as Shen Kan finished speaking, Shen Lingfeng jumped up from his chair, pointing at Shen Kan angrily and saying, "You useless traitor, how much resources did you rent out? Two thousand cubic meters of Tianyuan Qi, and you want a discount for a two-year lease?"
Seeing this, Shen Kan nodded and said, "...Yes."
"You useless piece of shit, you actually rented out a property that costs at least a thousand cubic meters of Heavenly Source Qi per month to a newcomer for less than one tenth of the price?
I'll beat you to death, you loser!"
As he spoke, Shen Lingfeng raised his hand as if to call out to Shen Kan.
However, he was stopped by the subordinates around him. Shen Bin even pretended to cry and hugged Shen Lingfeng's thigh and shouted: "Father, now that things have come to this, please don't blame my brother anymore. If you want to hit me, hit me. I am willing to bear it all for my brother!"
