“Acting like a ghost and thinking you’re someone important…”
“Playing tricks and acting like you’re someone important…”
Lei Shan glanced at Xiao Yufan with a hostile expression, but he didn’t immediately order his men to take action. The situation with Xing Tian was already giving him a headache, and now, unexpectedly, someone from the Dark Gate had appeared, catching him off guard.
“I may not be someone important, but compared to your master, I certainly have more authority to speak…”
Xiao Yufan walked towards Lei Shan, speaking in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. It had to be said that Lei Shan was quite cooperative. After all this time, Tian Yi must have already resolved the troubles with Xiao Dao and the others.
Lei Shan’s face shifted between anger and confusion. He finally realized that Xiao Yufan wasn’t just making baseless accusations—this man truly knew about his schemes…
“It should be about time now…”
Seeing the expression on Lei Shan’s face, a cold smile curved on Xiao Yufan’s lips. The commotion coming from outside soon confirmed his thoughts. It seemed that Tian Yi had indeed resolved the troubles with Xiao Dao and Wang Wei.
“Boss Lei, all our brothers outside have been taken down…”
Clearly, Lei Shan hadn’t realized this yet, but at that moment, a man rushed in from outside, his face filled with panic and fear.
“What? Who did it…”
Lei Shan was on the verge of exploding in rage. He couldn’t believe that hundreds of his men outside had been taken down. How many people could the other side have? Could it be that the Dongling Chamber of Commerce and the Qingyun Society had made their move?
“I heard… I heard it was the Dark Gate!”
The man, recalling what had happened outside, felt a chill run down his spine. With only a few dozen people, the Dark Gate had managed to render all of Lei Gang’s men incapacitated. In his eyes, they were nothing short of demons.
“The Dark Gate!” Lei Shan gritted his teeth, finally turning his gaze to Xiao Yufan. He now understood that this man had merely been buying time. But how could the Dark Gate have entered Dongling on such a large scale…
“Boss Lei, we need to run. They only have a few dozen people, but they’ve crushed our hundreds…”
Now truly understanding what fear was, the man who had just escaped couldn’t muster any fighting spirit. All he could do was urge Lei Shan to flee, as the Dark Gate was a force that Lei Gang couldn’t possibly contend with.
A few dozen people?
Everyone gasped in shock. How could a few dozen people take down all of Lei Gang’s men outside? Even if they were fighting one against five, it shouldn’t have been this disastrous.
However, compared to Lei Shan’s fury, Xing Tian felt a surge of joy. He suddenly realized that the decision he had made was the right one. Just when he thought he was about to fight to the death, the feeling of being saved from certain doom was incredibly satisfying…
“No matter how many they are, kill this man first…”
Lei Shan’s face twisted with madness as he directed all his anger towards Xiao Yufan. Even if the Dark Gate was outside, inside the hall, Xiao Yufan was alone. Killing him would be easy.
Moreover, Lei Shan knew very well that if they didn’t take action against Xiao Yufan, their fate wouldn’t be any better. If the Dark Gate could take down the men outside, they could certainly deal with them as well…
“Kill your mother! Brothers, take him down!”
Xing Tian wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip. If Lei Shan dared to move against Xiao Yufan, he certainly wouldn’t allow it. This was a golden opportunity, and today he was going to make a good showing.
With both leaders giving orders simultaneously, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. The two factions within Lei Gang began to clash in chaos…
Xiao Yufan didn’t retreat. Instead, he moved swiftly through the hall, taking down anyone who belonged to Lei Shan’s group with a single encounter…
Lei Gang was to be the Dark Gate’s future representative in Dongling. Xiao Yufan couldn’t let them destroy themselves, so he did his best to minimize the losses. At that moment, Tian Yi, Xiao Dao, and the others burst in from outside.
“Brothers, step back. Let the Dark Gate handle the rest…”
At Wang Wei’s signal, Xing Tian finally spoke up. The members of the Tian Group and some of the Dark Gate’s elite didn’t know who was friend or foe, so to avoid friendly fire, Wang Wei had his men retreat first.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. In no time, Lei Shan’s group was completely incapacitated…
The sound of wailing echoed through the hall, sending chills down everyone’s spines. Even Xing Tian felt a cold breeze pass by. Lei Shan’s men were utterly crushed, with no ability to fight back.
Xing Tian couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. If he had chosen the wrong side, he might have been lying on the ground as well. With the Dark Gate’s strength, they could easily make anyone in Lei Gang the leader—there was no doubt about that…
“Boss Lei, we meet again. I must say, your plan was quite impressive!”
Xiao Dao stepped forward, looking at the stunned Lei Shan with a cold smile. The dagger in his hand flipped menacingly, looking utterly terrifying.
They had been on the verge of handling everything smoothly, but Lei Shan had pulled a fast one on them. Xiao Dao and Wang Wei hadn’t expected that Lei Shan would manage to get the police involved, detaining them all. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Yufan and Tian Yi arriving in time, the situation today could have been very different.
“Even the best plans can come to nothing. But the Dark Gate has truly surprised me…”
Lei Shan realized that in the face of the Dark Gate, Lei Gang seemed insignificant. With just a few dozen people, they had managed to crush everyone. Such power couldn’t even be described as terrifying.
“Actually, Boss Lei, you’ve surprised me too. I didn’t expect you to have connections with the Yuan Gang. We underestimated you…”
Wang Wei stepped forward, looking at Lei Shan’s despondent expression with a mix of emotions. This man had ambition but was impossible to control. If he had been more obedient, perhaps things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
But what surprised Wang Wei even more was that there were others who shared the same idea as the Dark Gate, trying to take control of Lei Gang…
When Xiao Dao and Wang Wei had run into trouble, Wang Wei had already figured out Lei Shan’s background. Without some kind of backing, this man wouldn’t have acted the way he did.
When Wang Wei mentioned the Yuan Gang, more gasps of surprise filled the room. Clearly, everyone knew about the Yuan Gang, but their reputation across the north was far from stellar…
Xiao Yufan remained silent, quietly observing the scene. Then, at a certain moment, his gaze shifted to a very obscure corner…
“I’m not someone important, but compared to your master, I have more right to speak…” Xiao Yufan walked towards Lei Shan, his voice low enough for only the two of them to hear. He couldn’t help but admire Lei Shan’s cooperation; with this much time having passed, Tianyi must have already resolved Xiaodao and the others’ issues.
Lei Shan’s expression fluctuated between anger and uncertainty. He finally realized that Xiao Yufan wasn’t bluffing—he truly knew about his secret dealings…
“Now, things should be about settled…”
Watching Lei Shan’s expression, a cold smile curled Xiao Yufan’s lips. The noise coming from outside soon confirmed his suspicions. It seemed Tianyi had already dealt with the problems posed by Xiaodao and Wang Wei.
“Boss Lei, all the brothers outside have been taken out…”
Clearly, Lei Shan hadn’t yet realized this, but at that moment, someone rushed in from outside, his face filled with panic and fear.
“What?! Who did this?!”
Lei Shan nearly exploded with rage. He couldn’t believe that all the hundreds of men outside had been defeated. How many people had attacked them? Could it be the Dongling Trading Company and Qingyun Society had joined forces?
“They say… they say it’s the Anmen!”
The messenger recalled the events outside, a chill running down his spine. The Anmen, with only dozens of people, had rendered all of Lei Gang’s men helpless. To him, they were no less than devils.
“The Anmen!” Lei Shan gritted his teeth. He finally turned his gaze back to Xiao Yufan and understood the truth: the man in front of him had merely been stalling for time. But how could the Anmen possibly have entered Dongling in such numbers?
“Boss Lei, we must flee now! They’re only dozens, yet they’ve crushed our hundreds…”
Finally understanding the meaning of fear, the man who had barely escaped back could barely muster any fighting spirit. At this point, all he could do was urge Lei Shan to flee, because the people of Anmen were simply beyond Lei Gang’s ability to resist.
Dozens of people?
Everyone inhaled sharply. Could dozens of people really wipe out all the men outside? Even if each of them fought five opponents, it shouldn’t have ended this badly.
But compared to Lei Shan’s fury, Xingtian felt a surge of joy. He suddenly realized that his decision had been correct. When he had thought he was about to fight to the death, the feeling of hope emerging from desperation was strangely pleasant.
“No matter how many there are, kill this guy first…”
Lei Shan’s expression turned wild with rage, and he vented all his anger on Xiao Yufan. Even if the Anmen were outside, only Xiao Yufan was inside the hall. Killing him should be easy enough.
Moreover, Lei Shan knew clearly that if he didn’t act against Xiao Yufan, their fate wouldn’t be any better. If the Anmen could eliminate the men outside, they could finish them off just as easily.
“Go to hell! Brothers, let’s get him!”
How could Xingtian possibly miss such an opportunity? If Lei Shan dared to move against Xiao Yufan, how could he possibly agree? This was a mighty tree he needed to nurture today.
With both leaders issuing orders simultaneously, the scene quickly spiraled out of control. The two factions within Lei Gang clashed violently.
Xiao Yufan didn’t retreat but instead moved swiftly through the hall. Any of Lei Shan’s men who crossed his path were swiftly knocked down.
Lei Gang was meant to be Anmen’s future representative in Dongling, so Xiao Yufan would do his best to minimize losses. At this moment, Tianyi, Xiaodao, and the others rushed in from outside.
“Brothers, step back a bit. Let the Anmen brothers handle the rest…”
Following Wang Wei’s signal, Xingtian spoke up. The Tian Group members and Anmen elites couldn’t easily distinguish friend from foe, so to avoid friendly fire, Wang Wei had his men retreat first.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. Soon, Lei Shan’s faction was completely incapacitated.
Groans echoed throughout the hall, sending chills down the spines of those present. Even Xingtian felt a cold breeze. Lei Shan’s men had been utterly crushed, without the slightest chance of resistance.
Xingtian couldn’t help but reflect again—if he had backed the wrong side, he might have been lying on the floor himself. With Anmen’s strength, they could reduce any member of Lei Gang to helplessness. There was no doubt about that.
“Boss Lei, we meet again. I must say, your plan was truly brilliant!”
Xiaodao stepped forward, looking at the stunned Lei Shan with a cold smile. His hand kept flipping the dagger, making it look even more menacing.
They had originally been capable of handling things well, but they hadn’t expected Lei Shan to betray them. Xiaodao and Wang Wei had no idea that Lei Shan had convinced the police to detain them. If Xiao Yufan and Tianyi hadn’t arrived in time, the outcome today might have been completely different.
“Even the best plan ends up as empty efforts. However, the Anmen truly surprised me…”
Lei Shan realized that before the Anmen, Lei Gang seemed insignificant. With merely dozens of people, they had crushed everyone so thoroughly that the word “terrifying” no longer sufficed.
“Actually, Boss Lei, you surprised us too. We didn’t expect you could connect with Yuan Bang. We underestimated you…”
Wang Wei stepped forward, watching Lei Shan’s desolate expression, feeling a strange emotion. This man had ambition, but he was far too uncontrollable. If he had obeyed a little more back then, the situation might not have turned out this way.
But what surprised Wang Wei even more was that someone else had the same idea as Anmen—to control the entire Lei Gang.
When Xiaodao and Wang Wei had encountered trouble, Wang Wei had already uncovered Lei Shan’s secrets. Without a powerful backer, this man wouldn’t have dared to act this way.
When Wang Wei mentioned Yuan Bang, more astonished murmurs filled the air. Clearly, these people all knew of Yuan Bang’s existence, although the organization had a notorious reputation across the entire northern region.
Xiao Yufan said nothing, quietly observing the scene before suddenly shifting his gaze to a very inconspicuous spot…
