Chapter 49: Establishing the Eastern Gang

  "Hong Yi, you little scoundrel! Aren't you supposed to bring a wealthy client to meet us? We've been waiting for almost an hour and there's not even a shadow of anyone!"

  In a private room of a restaurant, five tables of young thugs gathered, with about ten people at each table, averaging eighteen to nineteen years old. Every single person was sitting in a disorderly manner, and even the waiters entering the room had to be extremely cautious not to offend them, otherwise they would definitely cause trouble.

  Hong Yi smiled wryly and said: "Everyone, don't worry, he'll be here soon."

  Hong wiped the big sweat on his forehead. Among this group of rascals, he was just a small role. Normally, he followed them to cause trouble and if there was anything that needed their help, they would also have to be treated to dinner, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous!

  "Hong Yi, don't try this with us brothers. I'm telling you, you haven't even paid this month's protection fee yet. Don't make our brothers take action."

  "Brother Ping, we're all brothers, aren't we? It's just a matter of money. Brothers aren't just empty words. Yesterday, I didn't have any brothers, but today, money is as light as goose down to me when it comes to my brothers."

  "Then let's cut the nonsense and hand over the money."

  "This and that, Ping Ge, don't you see that I'm treating you to this meal? Otherwise, give me a few more days!"

  "I knew you were no good... Forget it, let's eat."

  "Shut up, all of you."

  At this moment, a woman's voice rang out. Everyone looked towards the first table and saw a girl of about 20 years old standing on a stool, with a cigarette in her hand, saying: "Damn it, can't you guys make enough noise? You're always making a fuss over some trivial matters, and now I don't even have the mood to drink."

  "Sister Spider, this kid Hong Yi is really unreliable. I was worried that he would cheat us, but in the end, he just ran away with his tail between his legs and left us to clean up the mess."

  This spider is generally tall, with a height of 1.8 meters, and at first glance, it's clear that she's a Northeastern woman. She has a very domineering personality, and there's even a scar on her face from a knife wound. She's wearing a black tank top on top and a tattered pair of jeans on the bottom, with a head of yellow long hair.

  "He dares to bully us? I'll kill him right away."

  Hongyi was in a sweat and thought to himself, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you don't come soon, I'll be swallowed alive by these cannibals!"

  The door of the private room opened and Chu Zifeng and Lin Shaoyun walked in from outside.

  As soon as Hong saw that Chu Zi had arrived, he immediately went forward and smiled: "Your Excellency, the subordinates have already gathered the people according to your orders. There are more than 50 people here, all of whom are from the mixed path."

  Chu Zi Feng nodded slightly, his face devoid of any smile as he swept a glance over the fifty or so people in the private room, yet not uttering a single word.

  Hong Yi got a young rascal to get up and wiped down the stool, letting Chu Zifeng sit down.

  "Gentlemen, this is the brother I am introducing to everyone today. You can call him Your Majesty."

  "Haha... I'm telling you, Hong Yi, are you looking for death? Bringing a little kid to meet us, and acting like a monarch, as if I'm some kind of emperor."

  "Haha......"

  A burst of laughter erupted from the private room, Lin Shaojun's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to make a move when Chu Zifeng stopped him, saying: "Shaojun, today is for pulling people in, not for fighting, don't be reckless."

  "Yes, your majesty."

  Chu Zi Feng swept his gaze across everyone in the private room, finally fixing it on the girl called Spider, stood up and said: "You should be their leader, right?"

  The spider sneered: "Fine, all these brothers of mine are just following me to eat."

  "From now on, you can follow me and eat for free."

  "Kid, try saying that again."

  Chu Zi's face changed color, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the little rascal who was speaking, saying: "Do you really want me to say it again?"

  At this speed, the group of hoodlums were all scared out of their wits, because in Chu Zi Feng's hand a purple dagger had appeared out of nowhere and was now pressed against the throat of the hoodlum who had been speaking.

  "Hey, kid, don't get reckless." Spider warned urgently.

  Hongyi also did not expect that Chu Zifeng would give these people a warning as soon as he arrived, which made things difficult!

  To ease the atmosphere, Hong smiled and said: "Everyone, don't be tense, the monarch is just joking with you all. This cup, I'll take it to toast everyone on behalf of the monarch."

  It turns out that Hongyi is actually quite useful in this kind of situation, knowing what to do and what to say.

  Chu Zi Feng threw a flying knife with one hand and flashed back to his original position, saying: "Those who have opinions come out, those who don't have opinions, first take the money."

  Chu Zi didn't want to say too much nonsense, so he got straight to the point and stated his purpose first. This is also the best way to win people over - give them some benefits first, then it's easier to talk about other things.

  Lin Shaojun walked to Chu Zifeng's side, placed a black leather suitcase on the table, and opened it. Inside, there were at least 500,000 yuan, all of which belonged to Huang Xiang. Before Chu Zifeng had time to use this money to speculate in stocks, since it was useful now, he might as well borrow some for the time being.

  Anyone who sees so much money at once will be dazzled, let alone these little rascals who make only a few hundred yuan a month from their petty scams. To them, this 500,000 is like gold!

  "Wow, so much money, is it all for us?"

  He also had to take on some underworld business, such as chopping people, covering the scene, and doing things for money. This was the rule of the underworld, and these small-time hooligans naturally knew it. However, they had never taken on any big business before, after all, they were not the bosses of a gang, and this Beijing underworld was the territory of the Evil Wolf Gang, so he could only take on very small business in the past.

  "I brought this money here, I never thought of taking it away. As long as you have the ability to help me get things done, this money is yours."

  This is just the first step of Chu Zi Feng, using money to lure these small-time hooligans. Once his own power grows stronger in the future, it won't be a matter of money anymore! When someone feels the supreme right, they won't care about the little benefits in front of them and will think about the greater benefits in the future. Money is just a bait.

  "Money talks, you tell us what to do and we'll do it."

  A few young hooligans were about to take action and grab the money, but that spider shouted loudly: "All of you stop!"

  All the hoodlums looked at Spider, who stepped forward and asked: "Kid, you're giving us so much money all of a sudden. What's your purpose?"

  Chu Zi Feng nodded his head in great satisfaction, the big brother is indeed the big brother, and among them, only this young girl had an extra thought, no wonder she, a woman, could be the leader of these little rascals.

  "My purpose is simple, you took this money, from today on, you are all mine, I want to establish a brand new gang in Yanjing."

  "Haha..."

  The spider burst out laughing and said, "You don't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth. Young man, do you know that this Yanjing is actually under the control of the Evil Wolf Gang? Except for a few small gangs, other forces can't rise up, and this is also controlled by the Evil Wolf. They won't allow other forces to cause trouble in Yanjing, but they also can't become too powerful, or the government will take notice of them. That's why they let a few small gangs stand firm, dispersing the government's attention. Otherwise, we would have formed our own gang long ago!"

  "You can't form your own gang, it's because of your ability problem, there is no good leader, even if you formed a gang, it would be immediately destroyed by other gangs. But I'm different, as long as you're willing to follow me, I guarantee that in the future, all of you will become the number one figures in this Yanjing City, and even the entire Huadong area."

  "What makes you dare to say such big words?"

  "What's the big deal? Just try it and you'll know."

  "Alright then, let's see how much you're worth."

  The spider pulled out a dagger from behind its waist and stabbed it towards Chu Zifeng.

  Chu Zi's hand flashed out and caught the spider's hand in one swift motion, then exerted a slight force.

  "Ah!"

  Period.

  The dagger fell to the ground, and Chu Zifeng asked, "How about it? With my little weight, can I be your boss and establish a new gang?"

  Let go of the spider, Chu Zi's face was expressionless as he asked.

  The spider looked up and down at Chu Zi Feng and asked: "What's your name?"

  "My name is none of your concern, as for what to call me, you can follow Hong Yi's example and address me as Your Majesty."

  The spider hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "If we follow you, will our lives be in your hands? Once the gang is formed, the Evil Wolf Gang won't let us off either. Can you protect us?"

  "Whether you can keep your place is not up to me, but for you to grasp. If I were to take you in and have to solve everything for you, then what's the point of taking you in? Those who are useless, afraid of death, can leave now, and don't even think about getting a single cent. However, if you're all brave and willing to fight for your own future, then I won't dare say that the sky is the limit. As I said earlier, in the not-too-distant future, Huadong will be where you stand."

  A responsible leader will not play with the lives of those under him, but once a decision is made, he will see it through to the end.

  The spider said heavily: "Good, from now on, we'll all be mixed up with you."

  "Alright, from today on, you are all my people. As long as you're willing to work hard, wealth and glory will be within your reach."

  "Your Majesty, you can just call me Spider, I'm from Northeast China."

  "Hmm, this name is pretty good."

  "What's our gang called, Your Highness?"

  "China is located in the East, so let's call it Dong Bang, meaning the dominant underground force in the East!"

  "Eastern Gang... brothers, from now on, we are all Eastern Gang members."

  "Okay, okay..."

  "Your Majesty, what shall we do next?"

  Chu Zi Feng said, "There's nothing major going on, I won't show up... His name is Lin Shao Jun, he's also from the Northeast like you. From now on, he will fully represent me, what he says is what I say. As for what to do next, everyone doesn't need to rush, our Dong Bang has just been established, we can't reveal too much of our edge. When I have a detailed plan, Shao Jun will instruct you all on what to do."

  Chu Zi turned around and patted Lin Shaojun's shoulder, saying: "Shaojun, from now on, you are the number one general of my Dong Gang. When I'm not around, you're me. First, communicate with them and understand the situation in the Yanjing underworld, then tell me later. As for this money, divide it equally among them according to their numbers."

  Lin Shaojun nodded and said: "Yes, sir, I know what to do now."
