The power of the city's underworld was in disarray.
The uninvited guests from the Li Family visited all the famous and respected triad bosses in the underworld. Be it the owners of gambling halls, drug dealers, pimps, smugglers, loan sharks, or hired guns, none of them survived.
They were wearing black clothes and heavy weapons, coldly emitting the scent of death. “Second Young Master Li wants to take over this city. You can choose to obey and swear allegiance to him or put up stubborn resistance. ”
The triad bosses were all shocked.
A young triad boss called to report the incident to his uncle. "Uncle Four, who is Second Young Master Li? I've never heard of him. This is a joke, he wants me to pledge allegiance to him just because he has some weapons and subordinates. Didn't he get a line on what was dealing with the Fang Family? Does he think he dares to offend us? He must be tired of living … "
"You're tired of going!" His Fourth Uncle was extremely frightened and reprimanded him. “Quick find out who this Second Young Master is. If it's Li Lei, pledge allegiance immediately. He can exterminate us just by moving his fingers! "
The young triad boss was getting increasingly uncomfortable. “Yes God, the consequences are so dire? Who is this Li Lei? ”
"He is Li Shanhe's grandson," Fourth Uncle Fang said.
"Who is Li Shanhe?" Ask, getting confused. His family, the Fang Family, had dominated this city for centuries and he had obviously never heard of the big shot named Li Shanhe.
Although the Li Family are originally from China, they are foreigners and have chosen to expand their empire abroad for generations, rarely engaging in local business, so it's not strange for him not to hear about them. Many medium-scale troops had never heard of Old Master Li because of this. Even so, Li Shanhe's name echoed like thunder among the big shots who were considered to have a leading influence both locally and internationally. They can only look at him.
After taking a longer step into the underworld, Fourth Uncle was more knowledgeable than his nephew. When he realized that his nephew could never straighten it out, he ended up cutting the point. “You don't know Li Shanhe? But you should have heard of the Italian Mafia, right? ”
“I've heard of it. “That question is almost unnecessary. Which members of the underworld have never heard of the Mafia?
“Second Young Master Li is the grandson of a Mafia godfather. ”
The young triad boss could not believe his ears. Granddaughter of a Mafia godfather! When did the big shot arrive in the city ?! "He ... he wants to set up a base camp here in our city?" Ask with a stutter.
“He's been doing it for a long time. "The Fourth Uncle smiled bitterly. He had already greeted the different powers in the city a few years ago, claiming that everyone should stay in their path because he has no intention of interfering in the current power structure of the underworld because he is there for legal matters. He asked everyone not to panic and to continue on with their own affairs as usual.
Everything has been peaceful for years.
Everyone was wondering what happened to Second Young Master Li that could make him want to take over the power of the underworld all of a sudden.
"Pledge loyalty to him. Don't make trouble for our family. Fourth Uncle reminded his nephew.
After being stuck in a daze for some time over the phone, the young gang leader made up his mind as he hung up the phone. "The Fang family will pledge their loyalty. ”
Almost every reputable underground gang promised their loyalty, and some who refused were swallowed whole by Li Lei's forces. Within a short span of three hours, there was a significant change in the structure of the city. From then on, all of the underground forces were loyal to Second Young Master Li and whatever he said was going.
“It's done, Young Master. "Su Tang reported softly after she pushed the ward room open.
Without turning on the lights in the ward, Li Lei remained beside Xia Ling's bed and gently held her weak and weak hand under the slightly visible moonlight. Xia Ling's eyes were closed and she was not yet conscious. His eyebrows begin to unite when he seems to be trapped in an ominous nightmare.
Su Tang waited at the door for a while before calling out. "Young master?"
Li Lei waved at him to remain silent before releasing Xia Ling's hand and slipping it. No sound could be heard as he stood up to leave, closing the door behind him. "Did all the armies of the underworld pledge their allegiance?" Ask.
"Yes . "Su Tang stared at the floor, trying his best to hide his jealousy. Even if others were unconscious, he knew the Young Master's exact intentions regarding his arrival. He had planned to set up shop there to cover the surnames associated with the Mafia and to maintain a viable and legal business without resorting to unlawful means. However, all of his efforts were in vain just because some girls were having a hard time.
"Let them prove their loyalty then," Li Lei said calmly.
He did not take control of the forces in the city out of resentment or anger. It was to ensure Xia Ling's safety and prevent similar occurrences. Moreover, he needed some subordinates to get things done.
Su Tang retreated and continued his orders.
"What's? You want me to cause trouble on the Pei Family grass? They are not just any Tom,**** or Harry! Brother, they may not have much connection with the underworld, but they have law enforcement on their side! What's more, they have their own personal security details. The Pei family had been growing their roots in this city for generations, and the entire city would tremble even if they just stepped on their feet lightly. They cannot be taken lightly! ”Seru the young triad boss was when he almost cried.
"Is that so?" The Li Family representative asked, smiling gently. "Is there a difference between refusing to prove your loyalty and not pledging your loyalty?"
The young triad boss was placed in a difficult situation because he had just witnessed how they dealt with people who refused to cooperate. The Liu family from the southern side of the city who were involved in a power struggle with the family of the young gang leader had refused to swear allegiance and tried to fight back with force. Unfortunately, they were severely beaten by the Li Family troops and ended up with broken limbs. They were even driven out of the city with the warning that they would seek their own death if they set foot in the city.
Since Li Lei had a Mafia background, the young triad boss believed that he was capable of anything.
After much thought, he realized that the consequences of offending the Li Family would be much more severe.
With that, he gathered his courage and went ahead to cause trouble in the Pei Family territory.
Many others had similar feelings to the young triad boss of the Fang Family when they ordered their subordinates to destroy the Pei Family recording studio, entertainment clubhouse, bar, and office building …
Pei's family was caught off guard. Although they rushed to form a resistance group, they were no match for the combined underworld forces of the entire city. In this battle, the Pei Family suffered heavy losses and was in complete disarray in the morning.
I want to take over this city before dawn.
Li Lei was a person who liked his words. By the time the yellow and orange mixture began to brighten the dark sky, the entire power of the city's underworld was already within his grasp. The extreme measures taken to take revenge on the Pei Family made everyone understand how ruthless and ferocious their new underground leader was. Every man had a weakness, and the girl who was rumored to have started this conflict was undoubtedly the weakness of Second Young Master Li.
In the future, no underworld power would be foolish enough to be hired by the Pei Family to provoke the girl.
Back to the ward.
The unconscious Xia Ling slowly opened her eyes.
“You're awake, Xiao Ling. "Li Lei, who was watching him, called out to him. Her tone was gentle and attentive. All traces of the cruel man from before had evaporated.
