Chapter 318: Chapter 337: The Purpose
After the three of them sat back down, Lin Xi asked the two of them about the situation in South City over the past few days.
Actually, thinking about it, he felt a bit embarrassed. Ever since severely injuring the three brothers of the Celestial Alliance, he had been like a hands-off manager, not paying any attention to these matters at all. After all, he was someone who wanted to build his own power.
Having one’s own power makes many things much simpler.
For instance, for those people he needs to protect so much, he can’t just gather them all together. That wouldn’t be realistic to say.
It wasn’t that Lin Xi was unwilling, but rather that everyone had their own things to do and their own goals.
As a line from a certain movie goes: If a person is without goals, how are they any different from a dead fish?
After half an hour, Lin Xi roughly understood the current situation in South City.
First, just as Lin Xi anticipated, the Celestial Alliance fell apart after they left, turning into several factions led by top-tier special forces soldiers, such as Wenhai’s faction. Meanwhile, the three brothers of the Celestial Alliance disappeared the next day, likely hiding since they had made too many enemies.
Second, some factions that weren’t destroyed by the Celestial Alliance, such as Xu Hong’s biker gang, now have no choice but to contend with multiple factions for the former territory of the Celestial Alliance. Otherwise, if others grow stronger while they remain stagnant, they will eventually suffer.
Third, if it weren’t for the mutual checks among the three cities of Northwest, East, and West, they would’ve invaded South City long ago. However, they’ve been secretly active, each supporting a faction. On the other hand, Su Xiong, upon learning that the biker gang belongs to Lin Xi, withdrew his faction back to West City these past few days, seemingly showing goodwill to Lin Xi.
To sum up in one sentence: The situation in South City is not only chaotic but also complex and can be described as a mix of fish and dragons.
But these are not problems for Lin Xi; if he were to take action, he could settle all the underground forces of Chuzhou City on his own. So while Xu Hong and Wenhai were almost turning gray with worry, Lin Xi was very calm.
"I want to establish a power called the Dark Night Sect, which will eventually surpass the Hongmen and become the true king of the underground. Even the most powerful people in the world will have to treat us as equals, or even..." Lin Xi told the two, as for why it’s called the Dark Night Sect.
Because his mercenary group in the chaotic region was called the Dark Night Mercenary Corps, he decided to change it slightly and continue using it.
It was also to reminisce about his former brothers, he wondered how they were doing now.
Without even thinking, Xu Hong and Wenhai both agreed. Even though they felt the goals were ambitious, they at least believed that within South City, under Lin Xi’s leadership, things could quickly come together.
"Since you both have no objections, you’ll be members of the Dark Night Sect from now on. You two are not allowed to fight each other!" Lin Xi looked at the two and continued, "And the rule within the Dark Night Sect is no private fighting. If discovered, the lighter punishment is expulsion, and the heavier is crippling of both legs!"
"Boss, with more people, conflicts are unavoidable!" Xu Hong expressed his concern, as his biker gang of forty or fifty often had internal fights.
Lin Xi nodded, acknowledging his concern, "Set up a dueling platform; let those with conflicts have a match. Also, establish a life-and-death platform to resolve irreconcilable disputes!"
"Of course, during duels, at least two elders need to be present."
The two nodded; this was an excellent solution to resolve internal conflicts.
"As for the positions within our Dark Night Sect, we don’t need to make it too complicated. We’ll set up six levels: Sect Leader, Elder, Guardian, Helmsman, Hall Master, Disciple." Lin Xi always felt there was a strong martial world vibe, but he couldn’t care less, as the Dark Night Sect wouldn’t be limited to Chuzhou City in the future,
"You two, be the elders!"
"But your skills are still a bit lacking, I need to think of a way to enhance your abilities."
Hearing these words, Xu Hong was very excited, while Wenhai’s face darkened a bit.
