Chapter 509: Chapter 494: Too Despicable

"No need, the situation has been mostly cleared up!" Ye Chen said with a faint smile, then briefly recounted the whole incident. Listening to him, Li Ruo felt like she was in a fog—this Hong Kong Hongmen, that Fourteen K, some kind of gang battle. In short, Ye Chen concluded, "This has nothing to do with Tianya Group, they just became my shield and got mistakenly hit in the process!"

Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the trouble was targeted at Ye Chen. Now that Ye Chen had thoroughly investigated the incident, resolving it should not be too troublesome, which allowed Li Ruo to relax a little.

"Alright, then you need to be careful!" Li Ruo had no real concept of what the Hongmen was, just knowing it was an organization made up of bad guys like the Flame Dragon Gang. She was worried that Ye Chen might get hurt.

"Don’t worry!" Ye Chen nodded, and said, "Then I’ll head back to deal with this now!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he immediately hopped into the Infiniti and sped off towards the headquarters of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Over a dozen little brothers had already captured the three Hongmen spies and brought them back to headquarters, awaiting Ye Chen’s execution order.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Reversal Gang, the first thing Ye Chen did was make a call to Hong Kong, where the current people in charge were Zhang Lang and Li Ke. These two were originally Yan Bu’er’s trusted aides. Pressured by Yan Bu’er repeatedly, they had no choice but to defect to the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Zhang Lang and Li Ke had performed well within the Heavenly Reversal Gang, and so Ye Chen had sent them to Hong Kong to temporarily handle affairs there.

"Brother Chen, do you have any orders?" Zhang Lang asked with a smile.

"Notify Hong Kai immediately to prepare five million to come to the Mainland to ransom people, or else he shouldn’t blame me for being unkind!" Ye Chen commanded without delay.

"Brother Chen, what’s happened?" Zhang Lang quickly inquired. Whatever was making Brother Chen so fierce had to be a big issue, and it appeared to be a significant one. However, what puzzled Zhang Lang was that if the Hongmen intended to confront the Heavenly Reversal Gang, they would normally act in Hong Kong, so why had they run off to the Mainland?

"Just relay this message to Hong Kai, he’ll understand," replied Ye Chen.

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Lang immediately nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lang promptly went personally to inform Hongmen of the situation. As soon as Zhang Lang had begun to speak, he was thrown out by the people of Hongmen. Puzzled, Zhang Lang thought, well, I’ve delivered the message; whatever they do with it is not my business.

"Big brother, the people from Heavenly Reversal Gang are too arrogant!"

"That’s right, they actually kidnapped our people, it’s despicable!"

There was a buzzing of voices discussing the situation amongst the Hongmen members. However, Sect Leader Hong Kai remained calmly seated on the sofa. He was deep in thought; his men had been neatly caught by Ye Chen’s people, and those disgraceful fools even spilled the beans, which greatly annoyed Hong Kai. But, with things as they were, he felt helpless.

"What’s the situation with the people from Church Court?" Hong Kai swept a glance over everyone.

"Big brother, those two kids who went to the Church Court ended up joining the Church Court!" A man in a white tank top said helplessly to Hong Kai, "The Church Court is too tempting; just a few words were enough to turn our two foolish little brothers into their people!"

"Shit, there’s such a thing?" Hong Kai was instantly furious.

"Isn’t it? We received news half a month ago, and it was personally sent by someone from the Church Court!" The tank-top man lamented, "They said our little brothers were fortunate to become servants of the Church Court under God’s grace, and they hoped big brother would give them a chance for rebirth in light of God’s face!"

"Rebirth my ass!" Hong Kai cursed loudly.

"Big brother, God doesn’t have a sis!" the tank-top man reminded him.

"Shit, then screw the Red Robed Sect Leader’s sister!" Hong Kai was enraged. The tank-top man was taken aback and muttered, "Does the Red Robed Sect Leader have a sister? Even if she does, she’s probably a nun. And nuns can’t be messed with!"

"Shit, if one day I overthrow the Church Court, I’m going to screw all the women there!" Hong Kai was furious. But he also had to face the reality. His men had been captured, held in the Mainland, and Ye Chen had sent a clear message: if they didn’t pay the ransom, they should be prepared for the consequences. Hong Kai looked over the crowd and said, "You tell me, should we pay the ransom?"

"Big brother, if you ask me, just don’t bother ransoming them. If those three guys died, then they died; it’s their own stupidity!" the man in the tank top said immediately.

"No way!" a man in black sitting opposite immediately rose to his feet and said, "If they die, the other little brothers will definitely have complaints. As a hundred-year-old gang, how can we ignore the lives of our brothers? Besides, it’s not shameful for a gang to spend money to ransom people. We can make a big deal out of it. Not only will this show the boss’s magnanimity, but it will also make the brothers more loyal to the gang!"

"I think the Vice Gang Leader is right!" Some people nodded their agreement.

In gang wars, it was inevitable that some would be captured; typically, it meant spending some money to bail them out. It wasn’t a disgrace; it was an honorable act. Within the Hongmen members, the debate was unceasing, with Hong Kai pondering deeply. Finally, Hong Kai made a decision, "Then let’s spend the money to ransom them. Tomorrow morning, Lao Er, take a few men with the money to the Mainland to ransom our people. Also, let’s see if there’s any action on the Church Court’s side. They’ve eradicated the Fourteen K and killed several of their cultists; they can’t have no response at all, can they?"

"Big brother, don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to watch over Italy!" the man in the tank top immediately nodded.

"That’s settled then. We should keep our activities against the Heavenly Reversal Gang to a minimum. What we need to focus on now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" After speaking, Hong Kai immediately stood up and left the scene.

The next day, the people from Hongmen’s brought several large boxes and secretly smuggled themselves to Dock No. 1 in Jianghuai City, where they were received by the Heavenly Reversal Gang. The Hongmen’s second-in-command, an old fellow with years under his belt, seemed like an old soldier in the gang.

The Heavenly Reversal Gang immediately took these fellows off to their headquarters.

Hongmen’s five-person team included two individuals with formidable fighting skills; judging by their appearance, they were picked out from the Underground Boxing Ring as strong fighters, with arms thicker than the average person’s legs. Veins bulging and faces fierce, they looked quite vicious.

Upon arrival at the headquarters of the Heavenly Reversal Gang, the five men jumped out of the car, and they were met by Haozi. Haozi, along with a few others, greeted them at the entrance.

"Sect Leader Shi, please come in!" Haozi was polite and didn’t deliberately make things difficult for them despite their scheming against the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

"Where’s your Boss Ye?" It was Hongmen’s second-in-command who started throwing his weight around. Haozi smiled and said, "Oh, our Boss Ye is inside waiting for your esteemed presence!"

"Hmph!" Sect Leader Shi snorted and then walked in.

Ye Chen was sitting inside, his back injury still not fully healed, causing him to feel slight pain. Although the wound had been stitched, it was a severe open wound, so it was healing slowly. Luckily, Ye Chen had a strong constitution; otherwise, an ordinary person might still be bedridden at this point.

"Oh, our distinguished guest has arrived!" Ye Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth and his leather shoes thrown aside, sat cross-legged on the sofa, the epitome of comfort. Upon seeing the people from Hongmen arrive, he cheerfully put on his shoes to greet them. However, there was an unavoidable smell of stinky feet in the meeting room. As soon as Sect Leader Shi entered, he immediately frowned, hoping to spend as little time there as possible.

"Boss Ye, we’ve brought the five million you asked for, where are our people?" The other party was carrying a briefcase, placed it on the table, entered the password, opened the case, and stacks of thousand-dollar Hong Kong bills—five million in total—made it seem not so much. Ye Chen glanced at it and smilingly said, "Sect Leader Hong is indeed straightforward. Since your gang has been so forthright, we naturally can’t make things difficult for you!"

Then, Ye Chen immediately ordered his men to release the captives, and three men from Hongmen were promptly brought up. Overall, they were in good condition, just a bit fatigued. The other side took one look and then immediately got up, saying, "Boss Ye, we will take our leave first!"

"Yo, leaving already? Have a seat, let’s have lunch together!" Ye Chen grinned.

"No trouble!" The other side nodded and said, "There are still things to handle back at the gang, thank you for your hospitality. Next time we’ll have a good gathering when we have more time!"

"Alright, Haozi, see them out!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

After sending off the Hongmen people, Ye Chen held the five million and smiled broadly.

"Brother Chen, these guys are really obedient, huh? They gave the five million just like that?" Haozi eyed the five million, his saliva almost dripping—shit, catching three unimportant guys could be exchanged for five million. If they captured all of Hongmen’s members, wouldn’t they practically be trading for all of Hong Kong?

"Hmph, that’s all Hong Kai caring about face!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, "But, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Hongmen."

"Then... about the Fierce Tiger Gang, there are a hundred and fifty alive, and more than thirty dead. How much can we exchange for them?" Haozi suddenly became interested in exchanging people for money. Unable to help himself, he started calculating the cost of the captives taken in the provincial city.

"Hehe, gotta gouge those foreigners more!" Ye Chen laughed coldly, "No less than five million per person! Hmph, since the Fierce Tiger Gang is backed by Little Japan, let’s extort a large sum from them. How much we can swindle is our skill. With this money, we can expand quickly!"

"Yes, yes!" Haozi immediately nodded and drooled. Shit, one hundred and fifty people at five million each—that would be seven hundred and fifty million! Calculating to this point, Haozi felt unsteady, his head spinning. The big brother was really incredible at extortion, and he was doing it mercilessly. Who knows what expressions the Fierce Tiger Gang would have when they found out about the big brother’s hefty demands.
