Chapter 445: Chapter 394: The Power Behind the Curtain_3

Taihu’s next words confirmed the elders’ speculations, but not one among them spoke out.

Seeing as he seemed to have anticipated such a response, Taihu was not surprised and continued, "Right now, I have established connections with government officials in the Special Zone. Departments related to the Yanhuang Organization will closely monitor the movements of the external forces and will decisively prevent them from sending more personnel into Southeast Asia!"

Whoosh—

Taihu’s declaration was like adding a ladle of water into a hot wok of oil, it instantly set off an explosion, leaving the elders first in shock, then in an uproar!

Although they had once thought that the Tiger Gang could so smoothly eliminate the three major external forces without being punished by departments including the Yanhuang Organization—which likely meant they had made connections with lawful authorities—hearing Taihu himself confirm it still left them with an unparalleled shock in their hearts!

"But... you should know that besides entering Southeast Asia through official channels, those external forces can also use smuggling and human trafficking routes to get in!"

As the shock faded from the elders’ faces, Taihu spoke again, sharply changing the direction of the conversation, "Therefore, what we need to do is closely watch these external forces. As soon as they try to enter through smuggling or trafficking routes, we must decisively stop them!"

"Of course, I’m not asking you to stop everything—you have limited power and cannot stop it all. I only need you to provide information about the three major forces using smuggling and trafficking channels to enter Southeast Asia! As for how to stop them, the Tiger Gang will take care of that!" Taihu added, seeing the change in color on many elders’ faces.

"Please rest assured, Boss Tai, we will definitely inform you of any intelligence in time!"

"Right, we will never let those sons of bitches enter Southeast Asia again to snatch our territory!"

...

The several elders whom Taihu had won over in advance voiced their support once more, while the other elders furrowed their brows, showing signs of difficulty.

Observing this, Taihu knew what they were thinking and said, "As I have said before, everything we are going to do is to defend our homeland, protect our territory, and safeguard our interests! This means the Tiger Gang will not snatch your territories or your business. Furthermore, unlike Nanqinghong in the past, we won’t collect management fees from you—whatever you earn will be all yours!"

"Is that true, Boss Tai?"

As soon as Taihu finished speaking, one of the elders questioned him, his tone filled with skepticism.

At the same time, the elders who were not previously won over by Taihu all looked to him, waiting for his response.

"What I just said can be witnessed by all of you, and if I go back on my word, you’re free to covertly let those external forces enter, or even unite against our Tiger Gang!" Taihu indirectly replied.

Hmm?

Taihu’s response echoed in their ears, prompting the unconvinced elders to whisper amongst themselves.

Taihu saw this and did not intervene.

"We all trust you, Boss Tai!"

"Boss Tai, we’re all with you!"

After a brief discussion, the elders came to a consensus and stated their positions one after another.

"Good."

Once all the elders had finished speaking, Taihu nodded and added, "Since everyone trusts me and holds me in high regard, I would like to make one more request. In addition to what I’ve already asked, none of you here shall attack each other or seize territories and businesses—we must unite! Only through unity can we completely drive those external forces out of our homeland!!"

"Unity!!"

For a moment, the elders, as if injected with adrenaline, shouted out loud, seemingly to endorse Taihu with their rallying cry.

Witnessing this scene, Taihu felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Because.

He had truly achieved a call-to-arms response in the Southeast Asian underworld.

But—

While he felt proud, he also knew that the true power holder of the Southeast Asian underworld wasn’t him.

He was just a puppet put in front by Ye Fan!
