When Xiong Wei saw that the people were starting to believe him, he became anxious.
After all, Jin Wanhao had shocked the lair for decades, and even if he died, he would still be a hero. If he really died in battle, this achievement would be enough to benefit all of Golden Tooth.
It was naturally not a good thing for Black Bone's rise to power.
"Manager Song, it's not that I and the other gangs don't trust you, but this matter is too important. Please tell me the entire process of the battle in the underground chamber in detail," Xiong Wei said with a dark expression.
Bear.Might said gloomily, "How exactly was Leader Jin killed, and how was the apocalyptic beast 'Swirl' destroyed?"
"Gang Leader Xiong, please calm down. We don't know whether the monsters lurking in the lair have been completely eliminated. This is a highly confidential matter, so we can't easily announce it to the public," Song Jinbo said calmly.
Song Jinbo said calmly. "But once the crisis in the lair is over, we will take the initiative to invite the experts from the abnormal beast research department to enter the underground chamber to investigate. I believe that the best martial artists, coroner, and mark identification experts in Dragon City will give everyone, including Golden Tooth, a satisfactory explanation.
"Here, I can only say that what happened half a day ago was a soul-stirring, soul-stirring, and soul-stirring battle.
"Even though the Vortex was successfully lured into the trap, this abnormal beast was modified by outstanding biochemical technology, and its fighting strength did not lose to the Apocalyptic Beasts wreaking havoc at the borders of Dragon City.
"Meng Chao and Lu Siya were two outstanding members of the Golden Era in Dragon City, but even though they risked their lives and did everything they could, they couldn't completely destroy the Vortex.
"In the end, Gang Leader Jin burned the last of his life and will to deliver a peerless Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash to deliver a fatal blow to the Vortex. Meng Chao and Lu Siya then pounced on it together, and the three of them worked together to kill the abnormal beast.
"Gang Leader Jin had fought for the lair for his entire life, and his body was covered in hidden injuries and serious illnesses. Over the past few years, his body had not been in good health.
"But it's just as I said, Gang Leader Jin treated protecting the lair as his duty. Even when he was at the end of his rope, he couldn't tolerate the Vortex wreaking havoc in the home he had been protecting all his life. In the end, he died in the most heroic manner possible!"
At this point, Song Jinbo's eyes reddened and he lowered his head in silence.
Hundreds of Golden Tooth members had appeared at the sides of the auditorium at some point in time. They wore black armbands with blood patterns on them, and they lowered their heads at the same time to pay their respects.
When the people saw this, they lowered their heads and paid their final respect to the hero who had intimidated Dragon City.
No matter what everyone thought of the Underground Emperor, without Jin Wanhao, the lair would not have existed. This was a fact that no one could deny.
The atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly became heavy.
Unknowingly, the rhythm had fallen into Song Jinbo's control.
Even someone as powerful as Phantom Bear Xiong Wei could not break the solemn atmosphere when everyone was mourning for Jin Wanhao.
After mourning for a full three minutes, Song Jinbo raised his head again, a new flame surging in his eyes.
"Gang Leader Jin might have left us, but he definitely didn't abandon the lair."
Song Jinbo's voice became loud again. "During his final moments, he held Meng Chao's hand tightly and asked Meng Chao to carry on his will and fulfill his final wish, which was to set up the Lair Reconstruction Committee and gather all the resources from the gangs so that the battered lair could be reborn with a brand new look!
"And Meng Chao swore on Golden Tooth Saber that he would not let down Gang Leader Jin Wanhao and would continue fighting for the interests of the lair, just like this time!"
"Wait —"
The more Xiong Wei listened, the more he felt that something was off. "Let's not talk about whether we should gather all the resources from the gangs and rebuild the lair for now. Even if we really want to set up an organization to gather all the resources, what does that have to do with Meng Chao? This is the lair's internal affairs, and Meng Chao is an outsider. What right does he have to lead the lair to rebirth? "
Song Jinbo cast Xiong Wei a faint glance.
Xiong Wei's eyelids twitched, and veins popped up on his forehead, intersecting with each other to form a cross.
In the past, Song Jinbo had never dared to look at him like that.
But this guy was looking down on him?
No, it was not just Song Jinbo. The middle and higher management of Poison Scorpion and eight second-class gangs behind him were looking down on him? They dared to look down on him?!
'Wait, who's the hooded person hiding behind them with his face hidden in the shadows? What a powerful presence! He's like a hungry, rabid dog.'
'It's Wild Wolf! It's Wild Wolf from Leprosy Village and Wild Wolves!'
Xiong Wei's pupils shrank into two dots.
The leader of Leprosy Village had actually appeared in Golden Tooth's headquarters, and so many people were standing on the same side. What did this mean?
"Gang Leader Xiong, you might not know this, but Meng Chao isn't an outsider."
When Song Jinbo saw Xiong Wei's shocked and bewildered expression, he felt as if he was drinking fine wine. He grinned and explained, "In truth, after Meng Chao entered the lair for the first time, Gang Leader Jin admired him a lot, and they became friends despite the difference in age. Gang Leader Jin often gave him pointers on the secrets of martial arts and helped him become the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City.
"Meng Chao also admired Gang Leader Jin's character and Golden Tooth's ideals. He joined Golden Tooth in secret a long time ago and is one of us. Otherwise, how could he represent Gang Leader Jin to investigate the traitor?
"And Meng Chao personally witnessed Gang Leader Jin's investigation results and his great achievements. If it weren't for Meng Chao, at least half of the people here would have died without even knowing how they died!
"Besides, when Meng Chao fought against the Vortex, his heroic performance of not fearing death was highly praised by Gang Leader Jin. Gang Leader Jin believed that Meng Chao was the most suitable person to inherit his legacy, so he left us, the brothers who had been fighting for decades, with his own blood as his last words.
"All of us agree with Gang Leader Jin's thoughts, and we welcome him.
"So, I represent all Golden Tooth members to officially announce that Meng Chao is the new gang leader of Golden Tooth!"
If Song Jinbo's announcement of Saber Jin Wanhao's death was like a stone that caused a huge ripple, then his final words were like a huge meteor that entered the atmosphere from outer space.
Then, his last sentence was definitely a super large meteorite that broke into the atmosphere from outer space, raising dazzling sparks because of the friction, and raising surging tides in the deep sea.
"What?!"
"How could this be?!"
"Jin Wanhao actually passed his position to Meng Chao?! This is too … too …"
The hundreds of middle and higher management members looked as if they had been struck by lightning, and they could not snap out of their daze even after a long time had passed.
Xiong Wei's mind raced, and he instantly realized the pros and cons of this matter. He could not help but fly into a rage and growl. "That's impossible! Jin Wanhao would definitely not pass the position of gang leader to Meng Chao!"
Once he said those words, the entire place fell silent.
Even though quite a number of the higher-ups in the gangs were the same as Xiong Wei and doubted the entire matter. They were certain that there was some sort of insider trading going on, but only Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, who had always been domineering and fearless, had the guts to openly question Golden Tooth's gang leader in the hall of Golden Tooth's headquarters.
In the silence, an astonishing presence that looked like bloody flames from hell surged out from the back of the hall. It was as if someone was riding on hundreds of Hell Beasts and charging over.
"Gang Leader Xiong, are you doubting Gang Leader Jin's last words, or do you think that I'm not qualified enough?"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Song Jinbo and the others parted like a tidal wave and stood by the sides.
Meng Chao looked like he was wearing invisible armor. With one step at a time, he arrived in front of the group and looked down on them. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as he stared at Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.
At that moment, he was dressed in a pure black nano fighting suit. Golden Tooth's emblem was sewn on his chest, and a blood-red armband was wrapped around his arm. His attire might seem simple, but it gave off a unique charm and presence when it was set off by his continuously growing and astonishing presence.
When they sensed the endless flow of Hell's Blood in his body and the terrifying aura gushing out of his pores because of the killing intent from the apocalypse, the expressions of the gang fighters who had gone through hundreds of battles changed. Even if they could grit their teeth and stop their legs from trembling, they could not stop cold sweat from pouring out of their bodies and drenching their backs.
"Is … Is this really Meng Chao?"
"How could this be? In just half a day, his presence has become so much stronger?"
"Are you kidding me? Hasn't he been in fierce battles and wounded in the past forty-eight hours? He should be exhausted and covered in wounds. Why … does he look like he has just made great achievements and broken out of seclusion?"
"Could it be … that Jin Wanhao really handed his legacy and Golden Tooth over to him?"
'Such an astonishing presence … How could he have just entered Heaven Realm, as stated in the public information? Even if I run into someone at the peak of Heaven Realm, I might still be able to fight against him! "
Many of the fierce fighters in the sects were very knowledgeable.
They looked at Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, waiting for a good show.
Everyone in the lair knew Xiong Wei's thoughts.
If Jin Wanhao died and Su Lun was captured, Song Jinbo would be the only one left to take charge of Golden Tooth, and there was a possibility that Xiong Wei would forcefully snatch Golden Tooth and devour it.
But now, Golden Tooth had actually chosen Meng Chao to fight against Xiong Wei, and by the looks of it, even if Meng Chao did not inherit Jin Wanhao's legacy, he had definitely obtained an astonishing blessing.
No matter how arrogant and despotic Bear.Might was, he was still an old man from the same generation as Jin Wanhao. His glory was destined to be short-lived.
Even if Meng Chao was not as strong as Bear.Might on paper, he was a rising supernova, and his future was limitless.
Bear's Might wanted to eat the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City in one go, but he had to be careful not to break his teeth!
Xiong Wei's pupils contracted continuously.
From the moment Meng Chao appeared, his expression became incredibly solemn.
At that moment, all his eyes were trained on Meng Chao's waist.
Across Meng Chao's waist was a saber wrapped in Apocalyptic Beast skin armor.
At first glance, it was black and did not have a hint of luster. It looked like a piece of rotten wood.
But as its owner inserted wisps of spirit energy into it, the rotten wood gradually shone with a dark and reserved luster that was similar to black gold. Patterns that looked like dragon scales could also be seen on it.
"This is …"
Soon, the fierce fighters noticed the saber, just like Xiong Wei.
It was the Golden Tooth Saber that had once intimidated the lair and would continue intimidating the lair in the future!
