Xiao Yufan hadn’t expected Yuan Bang to appear so soon. Originally, he thought those sneaky individuals would make him seek them out first…
Yuan Bang had once tried to manipulate Qiao’s Group, but was rejected by Qiao Chuxi’s father, angering the entire Yuan Bang and ultimately leading to their deadly retaliation.
Since Old Master Qiao had brought it up, Xiao Yufan naturally couldn’t ignore it. After all, Yuan Bang was already despicable enough, and the Qiao family’s connection alone was sufficient reason for him to oppose Yuan Bang…
Moreover, this recent operation by Yuan Bang was clearly targeted at Dongling, but was ruined by Anmen. If Yuan Bang didn’t hold a grudge, that would truly be strange.
Although the black-clad man was puzzled as to why Xiao Yufan hadn’t killed him, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat excited. After all, he wasn’t a saint who could disregard life and death; staying alive was naturally a good thing.
Watching the man walk away, Lei Shan’s final hope shattered. He had originally believed that aligning with Yuan Bang would stabilize Lei Gang’s position in Dongling. Yet although Lei Gang’s status had been secured, its leadership had now passed into someone else’s hands.
“Master, what should we do with this guy…”
With the tide turning, everyone understood that with Anmen’s protection, Xing Tian had already gained the upper hand. All the neutral parties now knew which side to choose. Choosing the wrong camp at this point would be fatal for them.
“What do you think…”
Xing Tian asked in return, a cold smirk curling his lips. If even such a trivial matter required him to handle personally, what use was this man anyway? He was eager to see whether this man truly had the potential to be a ruthless leader.
“I know what needs to be done…”
Xing Tian understood that Xiao Yufan was testing him, and he also knew that now was not the time for mercy. Showing weakness to the enemy meant self-destruction. Xing Tian would never give Lei Shan any chance to rise again.
“Xing Tian, everyone from Lei Gang is watching. If you kill me today, no one will ever accept you…”
Lei Shan finally felt a sense of impending death, his eyes reflecting increasing madness. Just when he thought he was about to become Dongling’s overlord, he had suddenly fallen into the abyss. That feeling made his voice even more hysterical.
“Lei Shan, don’t you realize by now that it was your own doing? Just your collusion with Yuan Bang alone is enough to doom you forever!”
The dagger in his hand gleamed with a cold light, and a stern expression crossed Xing Tian’s face. Yuan Bang was like a curse to everyone in Lei Gang, for if Yuan Bang truly entered Dongling, they and their families would all suffer from the plague of drugs.
“Don’t make excuses. You’re still just a dog of Anmen. When the day comes that Anmen no longer needs you, you won’t be allowed to exist anymore!”
His heart sinking into despair, Lei Shan knew there was no hope left for him. Even if he had to die, he wanted to humiliate Xing Tian, convinced that one day Xing Tian would follow in his footsteps.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen the way you wish…”
Xing Tian understood clearly that Anmen helped him only because they needed him. As long as he remained useful, the fate Lei Shan described wouldn’t befall him. He was smart enough to know how to preserve that value.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand swiftly traced an arc. A prominent figure in Dongling was thus erased forever.
Seeing Xing Tian act decisively and without hesitation, several senior figures from Lei Shan’s camp felt uneasy. If Xing Tian decided to target them now, their only fate would be death…
“You all know what Lei Shan has done. It’s not that I’m rebelling against my superior, but I can’t stand watching him lead Lei Gang into ruin. Now that he’s dead, who among the brothers still wants to serve him loyally?”
After saying this, Xing Tian scanned each member of Lei Gang, his voice slightly cold.
Not a single person dared to speak. Everyone silently shifted to Xing Tian’s side.
Xiao Yufan was very satisfied with Xing Tian’s move. He needed a complete Lei Gang, not a weakened one. Therefore, Xing Tian wasn’t too foolish—he hadn’t targeted Lei Shan’s men.
Xiao Yufan believed Xing Tian could handle internal Lei Gang affairs well, so he and Xiao Dao soon exited the hall with the other two…
“Master, this time we failed you. I never expected Lei Shan to convince the police to intervene!”
After leaving the hall, Wang Wei spoke, clearly showing some self-blame. After all, if such a situation forced Xiao Yufan to act personally, what use were they?
“It’s not your fault. Dongling’s waters run deep, and anything can happen. You’ve done well enough. At least Qingyun Society and Dongling Chamber of Commerce are now locked in fierce conflict…
Xiao Yufan shook his head with a smile, showing no sign of blame. Xiao Dao and Wang Wei had led Anmen’s members deep into enemy territory, and reaching this point was already commendable.
“Now that Lei Gang has submitted, let’s deal with Qingyun Society and Dongling Chamber of Commerce next. After so much depletion over time, their strength must have greatly diminished!”
Soon, Wang Wei overcame his self-reproach, and as he considered Dongling’s current situation, a smile appeared on his face. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with the current state of affairs.
“Strike while the iron is hot. I believe Xing Tian understands this principle too. Let’s do it tonight. With Anmen’s members and Lei Gang’s forces, we will completely eliminate Dongling’s underground forces. I want Dongling to become Anmen’s northern passage!”
Although Lei Gang had changed hands today, it was undoubtedly at its strongest moment. Acting now would definitely yield unexpected results.
“What about Yuan Bang? If they interfere, I’m afraid…”
Wang Wei hesitated slightly, now concerned that Yuan Bang might intervene. After all, based on his understanding of Yuan Bang’s data, he knew Yuan Bang wouldn’t accept losses so easily.
“If Yuan Bang dares to interfere, I’ll make sure they don’t return. If they have any sense, they won’t act again!”
Xiao Yufan had naturally considered this point too. However, he still believed Yuan Bang wouldn’t act recklessly, as they weren’t foolish enough to oppose Anmen over just Dongling so quickly. Of course, this assumption was based on Yuan Bang not knowing that Xiao Yufan had no intention of letting them off either.
“I understand…”
Wang Wei nodded, shifting his gaze to Tianyi and Xiao Dao, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty chill. Now that there were no more concerns, today was the time for a glorious finale…
