Xiao Yufan naturally knew that the “Young Master” the scarred man referred to was none other than Dongfang Haoran. However, if he had known that Dongfang Haoran had already fallen from grace, would his expression have been quite something…
“Bring that person to me—alive or dead, I don’t care!”
A light yet authoritative voice rang out, leaving no room for objection. As the scarred man’s words faded, a wave of men in black suits surged toward the private room.
At the same time, the members of Heaven Squad abruptly appeared before Xiao Yufan, walking steadily toward the crowd. Cold gleams of steel reflected from the blades in their hands…
For some unknown reason, the scarred man suddenly felt a chill run down his spine when those men appeared. Having spent years in the underworld, he had met countless people, but never had he felt such a bone-chilling aura.
Tianyi gazed at the approaching crowd with an emotionless expression and uttered a single word: “Kill!”
In an instant, over a dozen figures moved in perfect unison, launching themselves into the crowd. A henchman from Kuanghu Gang swung his blade at Tianyi, but in the next moment, his arm froze mid-air. Staring blankly at Tianyi, he was unable to utter a word—because a crimson line had already appeared across his throat…
The cold steel of Tianyi’s military knife remained spotless, not pausing for even a second before slicing across another enemy’s neck. He then kicked the collapsing bodies aside, sending another group of attackers crashing down.
Like ghosts drifting through the crowd, these dozen or so grim figures wielded their blades in deadly arcs. Blood soaked their bodies, though none of it was their own. To them, the more than two hundred Kuanghu Gang members were merely lambs awaiting slaughter, utterly helpless and unable to resist…
Watching his men fall one after another, the scarred man couldn’t help but inhale sharply. He fixed his gaze on the figures standing resolutely in the corridor, sensing a deadly aura radiating from them.
Within moments, over two hundred men had been reduced to less than a hundred. Their hands trembled around their weapons, and not a single one dared to advance further. Some even began cautiously retreating. Even though they were gangsters, they had no desire to die.
“Stop fighting! Everyone, fall back!”
The scarred man rose weakly from the sofa and ordered, fully aware that even if they charged, the outcome would remain unchanged. He then began walking slowly toward Xiao Yufan at the opposite end of the room, but Tianyi immediately stepped forward to block his path.
“Let him come,” Xiao Yufan said with a faint, mysterious smile curling his lips, as he gestured for Tianyi to step aside.
“Speak. What do you want?” the scarred man asked, his expression grim. He had heard something about the incident at Boya Mansion. If he wasn’t mistaken, these dozen men were the same ones who had appeared there.
“I originally had no intention of targeting you, but since you came after me first, I must admit—you’re quite perceptive. Otherwise, both you and the entire Kuanghu Gang would have been wiped out completely.”
The man’s sudden shift in tone caused Xiao Yufan to regard him with slightly more approval. At least this man wasn’t foolish—he could clearly see the situation. If he hadn’t spoken up, the remaining standing men would have fallen as well.
“I believe you have the power to do it, but I also believe that if it came down to life or death, you would suffer losses too.”
“You’re welcome to test your strength and see if you have what it takes!” Xiao Yufan remained calm, his piercing gaze fixed on the scarred man, making him feel as if his soul had been laid bare.
“Now, what do you intend to do?”
The scarred man had enough sense to know Xiao Yufan wouldn’t let him off easily. He was now completely subdued, stripped of any arrogance or defiance.
“Let your Kuanghu Gang become subordinate to him, and transfer all your assets under the Huihuang Group, including this Yiluo Riverside KTV.”
Xiao Yufan wasted no time, immediately laying out his terms. As his voice faded, both Tianyi and the scarred man were left momentarily stunned—Tianyi unsure of Xiao Yufan’s intentions, and the scarred man shocked by the sheer audacity of the demand.
Did this young man even realize that the Kuanghu Gang and its affiliated businesses brought in nearly three hundred million in annual revenue? That was already a substantial sum.
“You… don’t push me too far! The Kuanghu Gang and its assets are worth no less than one billion. What gives you the right to take them all?”
The scarred man’s face darkened. Xiao Yufan’s demand was nothing short of outrageous. The Kuanghu Gang alone had nearly ten KTVs and clubs under its name—fixed assets worth a small fortune.
“I won’t make you suffer losses. Huihuang will invest one billion yuan, acquiring 60% of your business shares. You will remain the top decision-maker of Kuanghu Gang and all its assets, with me as the silent chairman behind the scenes. Of course, you’re free to refuse—if you’re willing to risk Kuanghu Gang and all its assets vanishing from this territory entirely. Don’t doubt my power.”
Xiao Yufan said coldly, his tone devoid of emotion. He had his eyes on the Kuanghu Gang’s entertainment businesses—lucrative industries that even he couldn’t resist getting involved in.
Seeing the scarred man frowning in silence, Xiao Yufan continued, “You have three minutes to decide. I expect an answer in three minutes.”
“There’s no need to think about it. Do you really think I have a choice?”
After a brief pause, the scarred man sighed, his expression filled with reluctant resignation. Who would have thought he’d provoke such a fearsome figure for no reason? Now he had truly lost both his dignity and his strength. The only thing that brought him solace was that this young man was actually the mysterious chairman of Huihuang Group.
“Tell me your name. As for the rest, I’m sure someone will contact you to discuss details. I hope we can cooperate smoothly.”
Xiao Yufan naturally knew that the “Young Master” referred to by Scarface was Dongfang Haoran. However, if he knew that Dongfang Haoran had already been deposed, his expression would surely be quite dramatic…
“Bring that person to me, dead or alive!”
The light, yet commanding voice carried an undeniable authority. As Scarface’s words fell, the crowd of black-suited men surged toward the private room.
At the same time, the members of the Tian Group abruptly appeared in front of Xiao Yufan, slowly advancing toward the oncoming crowd, their military knives gleaming with a cold, deadly light…
For some reason, when these few appeared, Scarface suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Having been in the underworld for so many years, he had seen many people, but he had never felt such icy killing intent before.
Tian Yi, looking at the tide of people rushing toward them, emotionlessly uttered a single word: “Kill!”
A dozen men moved with the same precision and speed, plunging into the crowd. A thug from the Mad Tiger Gang swung his knife at Tian Yi, but in the next second, his blade froze mid-air. His eyes glazed over as he stared at Tian Yi, unable to utter a word, for a crimson line had already appeared across his throat…
The gleaming military knife, untainted by a single drop of blood, continued its motion without pause, slicing across another throat. Tian Yi kicked the two fallen bodies away, sending them crashing into the thugs charging from behind, knocking them down like dominoes.
Like phantoms, their figures drifted through the crowd. A dozen iron-clad men, their military knives tracing deadly arcs, were drenched in blood—none of it their own. To them, the over two hundred thugs of the Mad Tiger Gang were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, utterly defenseless…
Scarface watched as his men fell in droves, unable to suppress a sharp intake of breath. He stared at the dozen figures standing firm in the center of the corridor, sensing an aura of death emanating from them.
Out of the original two hundred, fewer than a hundred remained. Their hands trembled as they gripped their knives, but not a single one dared to charge forward. Some even began to slowly retreat. Even though they were part of the underworld, it didn’t mean they were willing to die.
“Stop! All of you, fall back!”
Scarface rose from the sofa, his voice weak. He knew that even if all these men charged forward, the outcome wouldn’t change. He stepped toward Xiao Yufan, but Tian Yi swiftly moved to block his path.
“Let him come,” Xiao Yufan said, a strange smile playing on his lips as he glanced at Scarface.
“Speak. What do you want?”
As Scarface approached Xiao Yufan, his expression was grim. He had some knowledge of what had happened at Boya Pavilion that day. If he wasn’t mistaken, the dozen men standing here were the same ones who had appeared at Boya Pavilion.
“I didn’t want to touch you, but you came after me first. I have to admit, you’re a sensible man. Otherwise, the entire Mad Tiger Gang would have been wiped out.”
The sudden shift in this man’s demeanor earned a bit of Xiao Yufan’s admiration. At least he wasn’t a fool and could see the situation clearly. If he hadn’t spoken up, even those still standing would have fallen.
“I believe you have the power to do it, but I also believe that if it came to a life-and-death struggle, you would suffer losses as well…”
“Feel free to test it. See if I have that kind of power,” Xiao Yufan replied without anger, his piercing gaze fixed on Scarface, making the latter’s scalp tingle. In front of Xiao Yufan, he felt utterly exposed.
“What do you want to do now…”
Scarface still had some self-awareness. He knew Xiao Yufan wouldn’t let him leave so easily. At this moment, he had no temper left, not daring to show even a hint of arrogance.
“Make your Mad Tiger Gang his subordinate. Then transfer all your assets under the Brilliance Group. Of course, that includes this Silver Riverside KTV…”
Xiao Yufan didn’t beat around the bush, laying out his conditions directly. As soon as he finished speaking, both Tian Yi and Scarface were stunned. Tian Yi felt as if he were in a fog, unsure of what Xiao Yufan was planning.
As for Scarface, he was shocked by the audacity of the demand. Did this young man not know that the Mad Tiger Gang and its assets generated nearly 300 million in annual revenue? That was a considerable sum.
“You… don’t push me too far. The Mad Tiger Gang and its assets are worth over a billion in fixed assets alone. Why should I just hand them over to you?”
Scarface’s face turned ashen. Xiao Yufan’s demand was nothing short of extortion. The Mad Tiger Gang’s entertainment assets alone included nearly ten KTVs and clubs, and their fixed assets were worth a fortune.
“I won’t make you give it up for nothing. The Brilliance Group will invest a billion for a 60% stake in your assets. Apart from me, the behind-the-scenes chairman, you will still be the top decision-maker for the Mad Tiger Gang and its assets. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but the Mad Tiger Gang and its assets will completely disappear from this territory. Don’t doubt my power.”
Xiao Yufan spoke coldly, his tone devoid of any emotion. What he valued was the Mad Tiger Gang’s entertainment assets—a highly profitable industry that even he couldn’t resist getting involved in.
Seeing Scarface frown in silence, Xiao Yufan continued, “You have three minutes to think it over. I want your answer in three minutes.”
“There’s no need to think. Do you think I have the ability to refuse?”
After a moment, Scarface sighed, his expression filled with resignation. Why had he provoked this demon in the first place? Now he had lost both his wife and his soldiers. The only silver lining was that this young man turned out to be the mysterious chairman of the Brilliance Group.
“Tell me your name. As for the rest, I believe someone will discuss it with you in detail. I hope we can cooperate happily.”
Xiao Yufan didn’t show much emotion, as if everything was under his control. The aura of a true leader he exuded left everyone guessing about this man.
“My name is Wen Hu…”
Even if Scarface was unwilling, he had no choice now. Even if his nephew had been rendered impotent, he didn’t dare make any moves. After all, everything was now in Xiao Yufan’s hands.
“So you’re related to that idiot. Then I’ll do you a favor and spare these two lives…”
Xiao Yufan glanced at the dazed Wen Lei, his smile tinged with amusement. Then he strode out of the private room, with Tian Xuan and the others following closely behind…
“I’m Wen Hu…”
Even though the scarred man was reluctant, he had no choice now. Even if his own nephew had been rendered useless, he dared not show any resistance. After all, everything now lay in Xiao Yufan’s hands.
“So you’re related to that idiot. Well then, I’ll do you a favor and spare these two.”
Xiao Yufan turned to glance at the stunned Wen Lei with an amused smile, then stepped out of the private room. Tian Xuan and the others quickly followed behind him…
