Chapter 780: Chapter 756:

In the hall, several banquet tables were set grandly, the central one being exceedingly large, covered in golden satin and surrounded by twenty chairs, creating an impressive scene. After sixteen people entered, they all laughed and said, "Brother Zhi Xiao, we’re all brothers here, why make it so formal? A few home-style dishes and some drinks would suffice for us."

"Exactly!" the others nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, it’s my first time hosting you elder brothers, naturally, I need to make a good impression; otherwise, once word gets out, people will poke my backbone and say Feng Zhixiao of the Heavenly Reversal Gang can’t even afford a few decent dishes. Don’t you think?" Feng Zhixiao laughed heartily.

"Haha..." Everyone else also burst into laughter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats!" Feng Zhixiao performed the appropriate formalities, easing the minds of the guests, at least externally—this shouldn’t be a setup for an ambush, right? Nevertheless, while it’s best not to harbor malicious intentions, one must always stay guarded. Everyone respectfully took their seats, awaiting Feng Zhixiao’s next words.

Feng Zhixiao instructed his little brothers to serve the dishes, and soon, dozens of dishes were brought out from the kitchen, along with several bottles of top-grade Moutai wine. Feng Zhixiao opened a bottle and smiled, "Brothers, let’s fill up for the elder brothers!"

A few little brothers were specifically assigned to pour the wine, filling cups for the more than ten people present. The guests felt deeply moved by such treatment. This was the Heavenly Reversal Gang, who would have thought they would show such respect?

"Come, let’s drink, this first toast is to thank the elder brothers for your support of our Heavenly Reversal Gang!" Feng Zhixiao raised his glass with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Zhi Xiao, don’t be so formal; it’s because the Mad Dragon Gang wasn’t liked by the people, so we welcome the return of the Heavenly Reversal Gang to take control!" Sixteen gang leaders laughed in response.

A few drinks later, everyone was slightly tipsy from drinking on an empty stomach. Among the sixteen gang leaders, some were already becoming muddled, laughing and saying, "Brother Zhi Xiao, what exactly did you call us here for? We’re all straightforward people; let’s not beat around the bush. If there’s anything you need help with, we’re totally on board!"

"Alright, given how straightforward you elder brothers are, I’ll speak plainly!" Feng Zhixiao set his glass down on the table, then continued, "The Mad Dragon Gang has been driven out of Jianghuai City, but they haven’t been completely eradicated. You elder brothers have been seizing territories and dominating venues in Jianghuai City undisturbed by me; what’s yours we don’t touch, what isn’t yours we’ve even handed over to you. However, there’s one thing I must make clear—in Jianghuai City, there can only be one gang calling the shots!"

The people were comfortable with the earlier part of his speech, but the last sentence from Feng Zhixiao left them stunned. Jianghuai City can only have one gang in charge! Wasn’t this a clear sign of bullying? Although the sixteen gang leaders didn’t voice their objections, their inner thoughts were clear. One of them laughed and said, "Well, shouldn’t we handle things case by case?"

"That won’t do!" Feng Zhixiao immediately waved his hand and said, "No matter the issue, whether right or wrong, in Jianghuai City, the Heavenly Reversal Gang must have the final say!"

As he spoke, Feng Zhixiao thrust a chopstick straight into the tabletop.

Hiss...

Everybody gasped, shocked by Feng Zhixiao’s demonstration. They stared at him dumbfounded. They knew the table was made of solid wood, not even easy to penetrate with a knife, let alone a chopstick. Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Brother Zhi Xiao, can’t we negotiate?" one of the more prestigious gang leaders chuckled as he looked at Feng Zhixiao and said, "For instance, we could establish a Jianghuai City Gang Alliance, we could have an internal voting system. At the very least, we could give the Heavenly Reversal Gang two votes. This way, the Heavenly Reversal Gang would still have considerable say!"

"That’s not acceptable!" Feng Zhixiao was firm on this matter, decisively disagreeing with the other party and maintaining his stance. He glanced around at everyone and said, "The territory of Jianghuai City can be yours, but within the Jianghuai City Gang, only one has the right to speak. And that’s the Heavenly Reversal Gang. There are no other options, do you agree?"

His words immediately heightened the tension in the room. The sixteen gang leaders fell silent, their expressions varied—some were playing with their phones, some looked around, while others huddled together to whisper.

Feng Zhixiao caught everyone’s expressions in his eyes, then picked up his wine glass and sipped it gently before starting to eat.

Before long, one of the more prestigious gang leaders laughed, "Isn’t the Heavenly Reversal Gang afraid of repeating the Mad Dragon Gang’s mistakes?"

"Fear!" Feng Zhixiao nodded and said, "That’s why I haven’t decimated your gangs, scattered your men, or monopolized your territories like the Mad Dragon Gang did. Don’t you think the Heavenly Reversal Gang is much more merciful?"

"Hehe, but your terms are too harsh!" the gang leader sighed.

"Take the Gold Token, but you don’t have to agree to our terms!" Feng Zhixiao’s expression was icy as he spoke. Having followed Ye Chen for so long, he had adopted some of Ye Chen’s aura and methods—an unrestrained ruthlessness was necessary to become a true Superior. As a qualified Superior, sometimes you don’t need to overthink things; being cold-blooded is enough.

"Feng Zhixiao, don’t go too far!" A younger gang boss immediately stood up, pulling out the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s Gold Token, saying, "Take this thing back. Don’t think it can intimidate us!"

Feng Zhixiao’s gaze immediately locked onto the man who had initially planned to roar a few words. But upon meeting Feng Zhixiao’s eyes, he instantly fell silent, hurriedly closing his eyes and pretending to meditate. The crowd fell quiet.

"If you agree, our Heavenly Reversal Gang is willing to offer you greater room for growth!" Feng Zhixiao said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s interest was piqued. They had already begun to lean towards easing tensions and agreeing to Feng Zhixiao’s terms. However, this statement ignited a spark of hope in their hearts. Curiously, they asked, "Oh? Is that so?"

"Of course, it’s true!" Feng Zhixiao nodded, then continued, "As long as you are willing!"

"Let’s hear it, what kind of room for growth!" The crowd asked curiously.

"I’m not going to lie", Feng Zhixiao cleared his throat and said, "The Heavenly Reversal Gang is backed by the government. With this significant government connection, what is there to be afraid of? Do you think the Heavenly Reversal Gang was driven out of China by the Central Boss only to return for revenge? You are too naive..."

Hisss...

The crowd gasped in shock, astonished by the revelation that the Heavenly Reversal Gang had government backing. Everything suddenly became clear, explaining how the gang became a massive international gang within just a few years. The gang bosses chuckled, "Yes, yes, the Heavenly Reversal Gang is indeed formidable!"

"With this significant connection, what kind of growth opportunities won’t you have?" Feng Zhixiao said with a light smile, "Domestically or internationally, wherever you want to go, we welcome you anytime!"

"Damn, we can even go overseas?"

"Damn it, we really want to consider expanding overseas!"

Hearing this, their interest skyrocketed. The Heavenly Reversal Gang’s blazing development overseas had everyone drooling. It was said that during the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s several chaotic events in Japan, they had plundered countless amounts of gold and silver jewelry. This got the sixteen gang bosses interested; they, too, wanted to rob overseas and then spend lavishly abroad. What a carefree life that would be.

"Of course, you can!" Feng Zhixiao immediately answered.

Soon, both parties reached an agreement. The sixteen gang bosses agreed to Feng Zhixiao’s proposal. In Jianghuai City, the Heavenly Reversal Gang was the only gang that held sway, but it was their responsibility and duty to aid in the development of all major gangs.

With the agreement in place, everyone immediately began to indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, all extremely excited. Just the thought of going abroad to rob and expand filled them with an urge to act immediately.

However, such an agreement undoubtedly positioned the Heavenly Reversal Gang as the leading gang in Jianghuai City, leaving no room or opportunity for other gangs to compete.

...

The Heavenly Reversal Gang stabilized its territory in Jianghuai City. Zhang Dadan and others fled to Tongzhou City, where they prepared to fortify a defensive line and then await the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s attack. The defeat in Jianghuai City infuriated Zhang Dadan; he was determined to teach Feng Zhixiao a harsh lesson.

Zhang Dadan had never identified the root of the problem, merely believing that Feng Zhixiao had bought people’s hearts by rallying all the third-rate gangs in Jianghuai City, then bribed them and used them to continuously thwart the Mad Dragon Gang. Therefore, Zhang Dadan resolved to recruit fighters on a large scale again and flaunted the banner of the Mad Dragon Gang. After losing hundreds of little brothers in Jianghuai City last time, he was determined to recruit several times more.

However, as Zhang Dadan was preparing the defensive line, the Heavenly Reversal Gang made no moves, which puzzled him. Curiously, he asked, "Strange, why has the Heavenly Reversal Gang gone silent? So many days have passed; what exactly are they planning!"

"Heh heh, Brother Dandan, maybe they got scared seeing us recruit so many fighters?" a little brother said with a smirk, "Moreover, they were supposed to travel a long distance to ambush us. Fighting in unfamiliar territory means killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own. They must be scared!"
