Chapter 859: Chapter 0859: Martial Arts Inspection Team Branch

"Master, what cunning plan do you have in mind?"

Sima Yu asked, looking bewildered at Yang Bupo.

"You send someone to monitor Tang Xin’s every move. He can’t stay in Songhai City forever, and there’s no way he can claim that big office building all by himself. If I’m not wrong, the Dark Group will surely send people over to take over the branch, and their strength won’t be too formidable."

Yang Bupo squinted his eyes and calmly analyzed, "As long as Tang Xin leaves Songhai City, I’ll lead you all to launch a counterattack. Without Tang Xin holding the fort, who can be my match?"

"Brilliant, Master, you’re truly brilliant."

Sima Yu’s eyes lit up. If they could seize the branch back and teach the Dark Group’s incoming staff a lesson, they could regain their lost face. They might even extort some money from each person and potentially recover the lost funds.

"Of course I’m smarter than you,"

Yang Bupo smiled smugly, then squinted his eyes and said, "Although we can’t let this matter spread, I can consult our old superiors. If they could send a Seven-star Martial Master over, we wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble and could directly fight back."

After much consideration, Yang Bupo decided to report the matter within a small scope, to test the waters with those above.

He then walked to the corridor and dialed a number.

"Yang Bupo, you did well. The Martial Arts Conference you organized was a great success and earned a lot of money for the organization. You deserve commendation."

As soon as the call connected, a cheerful, elderly voice sounded.

"Ahem, Teacher, I’m not calling to seek credit this time, but I’ve encountered a bit of trouble here."

Yang Bupo awkwardly got to the point.

"What kind of trouble could you encounter? Tell me."

The teacher sounded puzzled.

"It’s like this..."

Yang Bupo exaggeratedly recounted the events that had transpired and concluded, "So, that’s the situation. First, the Dark Group sent people to cause trouble at the Martial Arts Conference, which I managed to resolve. But then they attacked the branch base I’m in charge of. Can you send a Seven-star Martial Master to help me deal with Tang Xin?"

"Yang Bupo, you’ve disappointed me. I had just praised you, and now you’ve managed to create such an embarrassing mess for me."

The teacher’s tone grew cold and displeased as he reprimanded, "As the leader of the Ming Group’s West Sea Province division, letting the Dark Group take over your branch is a disgrace unprecedented in Ming Group’s history. And you still have the nerve to ask me to send help? If you can’t handle a mere Dark Group rookie, you might as well not hold your position as department head."

"Teacher, that person is truly formidable. I’m no match for him."

Yang Bupo reported helplessly.

"Huh! No matter how formidable, he’s still from the Dark Group. If you can’t deal with him, it just proves your incompetence. In any case, you have to find a way to handle this yourself. If you fail, you can wait for others to have a good laugh at your expense."

The teacher let out a cold snort and hung up the phone heavily.

"I knew it would turn out like this."

Yang Bupo looked bitterly at his phone. If they were truly under enemy attack, the higher-ups in the Ming Group would surely take it seriously. But being bullied by the Dark Group, they would just consider him incompetent. After all, the Ming Group had suppressed the Dark Group’s growth for so many years, and this was the first time they had been bullied like this.

Just as Yang Bupo put down his phone, the WeChat notification sound went off.

Glancing at it, he saw that a group chat had already exploded.

"Hey, West Sea, I heard your branch got taken down by a kid from the Dark Group, and your men got beaten up. Is that true?"

"I just got the news too. It’s truly humiliating. How could the Ming Group’s branch be taken over by the Dark Group? This is an unprecedented disgrace."

"Minister Yang, are you there? Tell us how many men they sent to capture the heavily guarded branch. Did they have heavy weapons?"

"See, I always said that the West Sea should be merged into my jurisdiction directly instead of having a separate branch. Now you’re embarrassed, right?"

...

This was a chat group for the high-level members of the Ming Group, with important members from all over the country included. When they heard about the incident in the West Sea branch, they eagerly started discussing it.

Yang Bupo stared at the messages in the group, his face flushed red but he didn’t dare to speak. At this time, if he appeared, he’d surely be the laughingstock of everyone.

Although the Ming Group was powerful, its internal interests were intricately intertwined. These so-called leaders all sought benefits for themselves and their backers, so instead of helping a struggling colleague, they delighted in their misfortune.

Feeling humiliated and furious from his colleagues’ sarcastic comments, Yang Bupo knew it was his teacher’s dissatisfaction with him that had caused this to be broadcasted.

Such a disgraceful matter, and the teacher didn’t help keep it confidential, showing no consideration for him at all.

The more he thought, the more Yang Bupo’s resentment toward Tang Ming grew. He became even more determined to reclaim the branch. If he failed to resolve this matter properly, he’d never hold his head high before these people. Therefore, he must reclaim the branch no matter what.

The Dark Group acted swiftly. By noon, the first batch of staff had arrived in Songhai City, officially taking over the office building where Tang Ming presided, and converted the Ming Group branch into a Dark Group branch.

Standing at the entrance of the office building, looking at the "Dark Group West Sea Province Martial Arts Supervision Office" plaque hanging on the door, Tang Ming was very pleased.

"Not bad, not bad. Finally, my department has an office—the Martial Arts Inspection Team feels more legitimate now."

Tang Ming, with hands behind his back, grinned as he looked at the newly rebranded office building entrance, very satisfied.

"Group Leader Tang."

At this moment, a dark-faced young man came up to Tang Ming and respectfully reported, "We have completely erased all traces the Ming Group left here. This place is now entirely our Dark Group’s residence."

"Well done. Make sure to delete the previous surveillance footage as well."

Tang Ming nodded and looked at the dark-faced young man, asking, "What’s your name again?"

"Reporting to Group Leader, my name is Iron Man."

Standing in a standard military posture, Iron Man loudly replied.

"Good. You’ll be responsible for the daily operations here from now on. My department is rather special, so I won’t be staying at the supervision office often. Do a good job, and you won’t be mistreated in the future."

Tang Ming smiled encouragingly.

"I will strive to work hard and live up to Group Leader Tang’s trust."

Iron Man shouted excitedly. For those working in the Dark Group, having a post at a branch seized from the Ming Group was an immense honor.
