Chapter 187
187 Godfather of the underworld
Wasteland calendar year 42, May 1st.
The day of the assembly of the six halls of the shuiyun gang.
in the busiest port in the slums of shandu, there was an endless stream of ships coming and going to the port to unload their cargo. the bugle of the boatmen, the whistle of the ships, and the shouts of the busy transporting of goods made way for the crowd, which combined to form a unique lively scene at the port.
in an old building on the dock, an important meeting that could affect the situation of the gangs in the slums was being held.
The annual assembly of the six great halls of the shuiyun gang was held in this old building.
“Sigh, time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. I still remember twenty years ago, the six of us formed the water transportation gang in this old building.” Old and young turtle sighed, as if he was reminiscing about the past. After he said that, he glanced at the boss of Green Dragon, who was sitting at the head of the Dragon at the end of the long table.
the bald head of the thunder tiger hall, lei jiuzhi, also sighed, ” “It’s a pity that there’ll be one less person this year. Although I’ve had some conflicts with old crane, I feel bad for lying in the hospital unconscious.”
Old turtle took a puff of the cigarette and mumbled, ” “Although I usually scold he tongyan for being a jerk, now that I’m suddenly lying on the hospital bed, I actually feel a little uncomfortable. Didn’t he cultivate the immortal crane health-preserving technique? how did he f * cking become a vegetable?”
The woman sitting beside Mr. Turtle blew on the second-hand smoke that was spreading toward them.
Her fiery red, gorgeous, and big waves carelessly covered one of her eyes, giving people the feeling that she was holding a pipa and half-covering her face. She had the same fiery red lips and was wearing a red dress. She looked like an enchanting Phoenix.
the woman frowned and waved her hand in front of her, scattering the thick smoke. she emphasized in a lazy tone, ” “Old crane isn’t here today. How are we going to vote?”
At this moment, the boss of Green Dragon, who was sitting at the head of the Dragon at the end of the long table, leaned forward and said, ” “The question mina raised is also what I want to say the most. Old crane is in a coma now, but White Crane Hall has eight gangs and many properties under its command. If we just leave them be, they’ll easily become the focus of the other gangs “division and destruction.”
“Therefore, I propose to select a new leader for White Crane Hall to take charge of all matters. We’ll return the position after old crane recovers. What do you all think?”
Zhao Heshan, the hall Master of the Viper Hall, who was lying on the chair, raised his hand first, ” “I agree,”
Old turtle, Lei Jiuzhi and mi na looked at each other and said in unison, ” “the dragon head is right. the white crane hall needs a temporary hall master.”
The boss of Green Dragon clapped his hands.
A man walked out from behind the screen in the main hall. The iconic white Crane pattern was embroidered on the collar of his clothes.
“Now, White Crane Hall is without a leader. Old crane is still unconscious, second tycoon Sun Shu has left Shandu, and the other tycoons have left with a share of the money. Only sixth tycoon is struggling to support us. When the White Crane Hall was about to collapse, sixth Guardian wrote to me asking for help, saying that the enemy gangs were ready to make a move, and that in order to protect the property of the White Crane Hall and the water transportation gang, he hoped that all the major halls would help each other.”
“After I received the letter, I immediately sent out my general, nine-patterned Dragon, to lead a group of experts into white Crane Hall to maintain order and safety. He is also old Crane’s adopted son. In my opinion, he should temporarily take over White Crane Hall and exercise the power of acting Hall Master, while the nine-striped Dragon will intimidate the little ones. After old crane awakens, the power will be re-transferred. What do you all think?”
sixth guardian lu wei, who was standing at the side, bowed and cupped his fists. ” thank you, Boss Green Dragon, for your appreciation. I’ll also have to thank all of you for your guidance in the future. I, Lu Wei, will definitely learn from all of you.
After Lu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Heshan, the sickly scholar, waved his hand weakly. “I can’t say I’m giving you advice, but it’s enough to lead the White Crane Hall well.”
on the other side, old turtle, lei jiuzhi, and mi na were sizing up lu wei with undisguised contempt in their eyes. they ignored lu wei as if they had not heard him.
the boss of green dragon swept his gaze across the four people at the long table and raised his hand to signal for the reserved lu wei to take a seat at the white crane hall.
Just as Lu Wei was about to pull out the wooden chair, old turtle, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly flicked off the ash from his old hanyan and dusted it all over the table.
“Hold on!”
“If it’s about the matter of the acting Hall Master of White Crane hall, I happen to have a recommenter on my side, and I think Lu Wei is more suitable.”
the boss of green dragon frowned slightly. old turtle’s sudden change of formation was beyond his expectation.
Green Dragon’s boss’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, ” “Oh, does old turtle have a different opinion?”
The corners of old turtle’s mouth lifted into a smile as he stared at Lu Wei. His peaceful eyes carried a sense of judgment, causing a chill to run down Lu Wei’s back.
“As far as I know, he tongyan suddenly fell into a coma this time because he learned that the underground vault of White Crane Hall was robbed. Other than the money, all the deeds of White Crane Hall were also stolen, so White Crane Hall is now empty, right?”
Lu Wei was flustered and said with a trembling voice, ” that’s right. But after I take office, with big brother nine-striped Dragon’s assistance, I’m sure we can recover all the losses in the first place.
so, your ability has not been verified yet? ” old turtle chuckled. you still need the nine-patterned Dragon’s help to find the title deed? ”
The hall master of thunder Tiger Hall, Lei Jiuzhi, also said, ” “I’ll be even more worried if he’s in charge of White Crane Hall with this kind of ability. The White Crane Hall controls many of the water transportation gang’s businesses. If we hand them over to a brat who has yet to prove himself, wouldn’t it attract more covetous eyes?”
The Vermillion Bird Hall’s Hall Master mi na tied up her hair and echoed, ” ” i think it’s better to find the title deed first and prove my strength, then be the acting hall master. what do you think? ”
Lu Wei’s face turned red and his fists were clenched. He looked up at Green Dragon’s boss for help.
unexpectedly, the boss of green dragon did not even look at him. instead, he stared at the three of them with interest, wanting to see what kind of backup plan they had.
“Well said, mina. Whoever can get the land deed back will be the most suitable person to take the position of acting Hall Master of White Crane Hall.” Lei Jiuzhi looked at old turtle and mi na, who were sitting on the same side.
Zhao Heshan, the ‘sick scholar’, did not say a word either. He glanced at the Green Dragon’s expression.
He could tell that the three people opposite him were now talking one after another and were definitely starting to stir up trouble.
“Unfortunately, I do have a suitable candidate that I need to recommend. Why don’t we pull them up and let everyone choose?” Old turtle asked.
“Oh, then please come up. It just so happens that I’d like to see what this person, who even the strict old turtle thinks is a good candidate, looks like.”
Old turtle clapped his hands, and the door of the main hall opened slowly.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the outside of the door.
The door opened, and a young man in a suit slowly walked into the main hall.
The treasure-hunting mouse was curled up in Link’s hand, allowing link to pet it.
Lei Jiuzhi’s eyes flickered, mi na bit her red lips as she looked at the handsome young man with interest, and old turtle looked confident.
Whether it was his figure or bearing, link gave off the aura of a Mafia Godfather. He was far superior to the submissive sixth tycoon Lu Wei.
“White Crane Hall’s subordinate, link, helps the person in charge, link.”
“Greetings, Hall Masters.”
