Chapter 443: Chapter 394 Behind-the-Scenes Power Broker

Two days.

In just two days, Taihu, following Ye Fan’s instructions, sent Nawa and Su Ke with the elite of the Tiger Gang to bloodily purge the Dark Council and Giant Axe Organization’s Southeast Asia branches, wiping out all the official members of the two major forces in Southeast Asia.

Quick, accurate, ruthless.

This was the true depiction of the purge.

And this purge set off massive shockwaves in the Underworld of Southeast Asia and globally.

All the well-known Underworld powers around the world thought the leader of the Tiger Gang, Taihu, had gone mad, otherwise he wouldn’t have committed such a suicidal act; the smaller Underworld forces remaining in the Southeast Asia Special Zone were terrified for their lives, dreading that the Tiger Gang would turn the butchering knife on them next!

All this suddenly quieted down the previously chaotic Underworld of Southeast Asia. These smaller forces ceased their turf-grabbing activities and waited to see how the situation would unfold.

As a result, on the evening of the second day, they received an invitation—Taihu invited the leaders of the remaining Underworld forces in the Southeast Asia Special Zone to gather at the Tiger Gang’s headquarters on the evening of the third day!

...

In the afternoon, the bright sunlight poured into the villa of the Tiger Gang’s headquarters, golden light sparkling, dispelling the gloom that pervaded the villa in the previous days. Looking around, the members of the Tiger Gang appeared elated.

Clearly... they had not anticipated that the Tiger Gang could pull off such an earth-shattering feat in just two days, thereby establishing its leadership status in the Underworld of Southeast Asia!

Compared to the ordinary members of the Tiger Gang, Taihu, who was in power, although excited, was more worried.

At three o’clock, Taihu entered a villa in the compound that was specially prepared for entertaining guests.

Inside the villa, Ye Fan was originally toying with the Ghost Ring he had obtained from Hunter, but upon seeing Taihu show up at the door, he put away the ring and said, "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Taihu walked into the villa swiftly, like an obedient dog responding to its master’s command, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Mr. Ye, I have personally sent out your invitations to the leaders of the remaining forces as you instructed. They have all accepted the invitation and will arrive at the villa at dusk to attend tonight’s gathering."

Ye Fan heard this without a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had long expected this outcome.

Indeed, that was the case.

In his view, with Nanqinghong withdrawing, and the Yakuza, the Giant Axe Organization, and Dark Council’s Southeast Asia branches being disbanded, the Tiger Gang now dominated the entirety of the Underworld in Southeast Asia.

Besides, the Tiger Gang, with its thunderous and bloody methods, had eradicated the Yakuza, Giant Axe Organization, and Dark Council’s Southeast Asia branches, which was enough to intimidate all Underworld forces.

All this would cause the bosses of those Underworld forces to be filled with fear and awe of Taihu, and they naturally would not dare to decline an invitation personally sent by Taihu.

"Mr. Ye, will you be attending the gathering tonight?"

Seeing Ye Fan remain silent, Taihu inwardly sighed at the depth of Ye Fan’s schemes and asked out aloud.

"I won’t be attending. You will be in charge of everything," Ye Fan said indifferently. "Given the current situation, as long as you don’t seize the territories and businesses of those smaller forces, uniting the Underworld of Southeast Asia is a very easy thing to do. However, remember this one thing—you must make those bosses who are involved in smuggling and human trafficking obey you. If the Yakuza, Giant Axe Organization, or Dark Council attempt to enter Southeast Asia via smuggling, they must report to you immediately."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will take care of it," Taihu respectfully nodded, then hesitated slightly, voicing his concern, "Mr. Ye, I worry that the Yakuza, Giant Axe Organization, and Dark Council may send people to infiltrate Southeast Asia tonight..."

"They won’t!" Ye Fan shook his head decisively.

"Why?" Taihu was puzzled.

"First, if the three major forces wish to send more people to Southeast Asia to deal with you, their preferred method would be via regular channels, not smuggling. After all, if they opt for smuggling, they’re likely to be detected by you," Ye Fan explained confidently. "Second, the three major forces’ Southeast Asia branches have been purged, losing all their formal members, including their leaders.

This is a serious matter for the three major forces. Their first order of business is to investigate the truth of what happened, not to send people to Southeast Asia blindly—they all know that with the strength of your Tiger Gang, you couldn’t have done it on your own!

They will only send people here with a targeted plan after they have uncovered the truth of the incident. As of now, the Yanhuang Organization and the relevant departments have not found any news about members of the three major forces entering Southeast Asia."

"Mr. Ye is wise!"

Taihu, suddenly enlightened, quickly showered Ye Fan with flattery.

"Go and prepare for the gathering. After it’s over, come and tell me about the situation, and it would be best if you could bring me the surveillance video of the gathering," Ye Fan instructed, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes, Mr. Ye." Facing Ye Fan’s instructions, Taihu dared not have any objections.

Because... he was very clear that Ye Fan could elevate him to the pedestal of a deity, but could also kick him down from it just as easily!

...

At dusk, when the sun set, and night fell, one car after another entered the villa of the Tiger Gang’s headquarters. Vehicles from Underworld bosses from different regions of Southeast Asia pulled up one after another and parked in the parking lot in front of the office villa.

All the Underworld bosses were well aware of the situation, each bringing only one driver-cum-bodyguard, and neither the bosses themselves nor the bodyguards carried guns.
