At this time, if they didn't join the Hague Gang, then wouldn't they be courting death? Because of this, the people of the Hague Gang nodded. Some of them even loudly said, "We're willing, we're willing!"
Liu Qingrui looked at them and couldn't help but smile faintly as he said, "Good, good. Old Su, feed them these things." Then Liu Qingrui took out some pills and gave them to Su Yu and the others. Su Yu and the others nodded before they fed the pills to the people of the Hague Gang.
Liu Qingrui looked at the people of the Hague Gang and said, "The pills that I gave you can cure the poison in your body. But at the same time, these pills are also poisonous. You need to take the antidote once a month. If you don't take the antidote, then you will immediately die. So it's best for you to be honest in the future. Of course, you can also try to take the antidote and see if it works. But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you think that you don't need to take the antidote, then even if you die, I won't care."
When the people of the Hague Gang heard Liu Qingrui, they couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions couldn't help but change. They didn't think that Liu Qingrui would use this method to deal with them.
Liu Qingrui looked at them, then he smiled faintly and said, "Of course, if you take the antidote I gave you every month, not only will you not be poisoned, it will also benefit your cultivation. You can give it a try."
At this time, the people of the Hague Gang were able to stand up. They immediately stood up and gave Liu Qingrui a salute before saying, "Thank you, Gang Master. We will certainly follow Gang Master's orders."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he waved his hand as a white light illuminated the group. These people didn't understand what Liu Qingrui meant, nor did they know what technique Liu Qingrui used. But when they heard Liu Qingrui's technique, they discovered that the filth on their bodies had disappeared. Only then did they understand what Liu Qingrui meant. They couldn't help but gratefully look at Liu Qingrui. No matter what, they were all people with reputations in Three Mountains City. If they were to return to the city with filth on their bodies, then that would be too shameful. Now that they no longer needed to worry, they couldn't help but feel grateful towards Liu Qingrui.
Liu Qingrui looked at them and then said, "Do any of you know what I need to do to take over the Hague Gang?"
When they heard Liu Qingrui, the people of the Hague Gang looked at each other. Then one of them stepped forward and said, "Gang Master, the establishment of a gang in the city needs to be reported to the Chamber of Commerce. If the Gang Master changes, then we also need to report to the Chamber of Commerce. I heard that every month, we need to hand over some crystal stones to the Chamber of Commerce. After Gang Master returns, you can directly report to the Chamber of Commerce and find out how many crystal stones we need to hand over. As long as we hand over the required amount, then the Chamber of Commerce will allow us to exist."
Liu Qingrui didn't think that it would be like this. When he heard these people, he couldn't help but stare. Then he nodded and said, "So it's like this. Alright, then I understand. Alright, let's go back."
Everyone nodded and then followed Liu Qingrui back. Su Yu and the others followed Liu Qingrui. On the other hand, the people of the Hague Gang were behind Su Yu and the others. Each and every one of them was very obedient. They didn't know if Liu Qingrui was telling the truth or if they were poisoned. But to be honest, nobody dared to take the risk. What if they were really poisoned? When the time comes, would they die? Nobody wanted to die, so it was best for them to be obedient.
Liu Qingrui also noticed the expressions of the gang members. However, he just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Liu Qingrui wasn't lying to them, they were really poisoned. If they didn't take the antidote after a month, they would surely die. Liu Qingrui knew that he was in the spiritual world, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, it would affect the operations of the Sea Exploring Sect. Because of this, Liu Qingrui became even more careful. He didn't care about the death of the Hague Gang, he only cared about whether they would listen to him. If they listened to him, then everything would be fine. If they didn't, then it would be troublesome. In order to avoid trouble in the future, Liu Qingrui decided to poison them. Moreover, his poison couldn't be cured by ordinary antidotes.
If ordinary antidotes could cure his poison, then the Poison Dragon Sect wouldn't have been able to move unhindered in the Sword Spirit Realm for so many years.
After the group returned to Three Mountains City, Liu Qingrui immediately went to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce in Three Mountains City was the most powerful place in the city. It was the most imposing place in the city. The Chamber of Commerce was a five-story building that occupied a large area. Although it was only five stories high, it was still very stylish.
The first floor of the Chamber of Commerce's building was dedicated to business. Liu Qingrui selected a disciple from the Hague Gang and had him lead him to the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce. Upon entering the first floor, one could see a large hall. Inside the hall, there were a lot of people who were busy. Liu Qingrui looked around and then turned his head to the disciple who led him. The disciple immediately understood Liu Qingrui's meaning, he immediately said, "Gang Master, I don't know where to go to handle the gang's matters. I only know that I have to report here."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he walked towards the bar in the front of the hall. There was a female Cultivator at the bar, she was busy organizing something. Liu Qingrui greeted the female Cultivator and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come in. I want to ask where I'd like to report to the sect."
When the female cultivator heard Liu Qingrui, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Liu Qingrui. Upon seeing Liu Qingrui, the female cultivator's eyes couldn't help but light up. In the female cultivator's mind, a person who came to report to the sect must have a murderous aura or a rude and uncivilized person. However, this person not only had a gentle appearance, he also had a smile on his face, making people feel comfortable just by looking at him.
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist, I want to ask where I have to report to the gang."
The female cultivator recovered, then she looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm really sorry. The Chamber of Commerce thinks that there are enough gangs in the city, so they don't want to increase the number of gangs. Therefore, new gangs aren't allowed to report."
Liu Qingrui quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist misunderstood, we're from the Hague Gang. I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist, I've been in Three Mountains City for a few days now. The Hague Gang had a conflict with us before. In the end, we killed their leader and took control of their gang. Therefore, we want to take over the Hague Gang's territory. Therefore, I came to report that the Hague Gang has a new leader."
When the female cultivator heard Liu Qingrui, she couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "So that's how it is. Then that's easy, you just need to report to me. Wait a moment, I'll look for information on the Hague Gang." Then she waved her hand and a large box appeared next to her. Then she took out a few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully before she said, "The Hague Gang, a small gang with less than a hundred members. From now on, you need to pay 100 first-class crystals to the Chamber of Commerce every month. Fellow Daoist, your name is Zhou Haiya, the current leader of the Hague Gang. May I know your name?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Liu Qingrui immediately replied, "I'm Liu Qingrui. I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist. Right, can we change the name of the Hague Gang?"
The female cultivator nodded and said, "Of course. What does Fellow Daoist want to change it to?"
Liu Qingrui replied, "I'm going to change the Hague Gang to the Sea Exploring Gang. I'll have to ask Fellow Daoist to help me change it."
"Sea Exploring Gang, right? Alright, I've already changed it. From now on, you'll be the leader of the Sea Exploring Sect. You can take over all of the Hague Gang's businesses. "The female cultivator quickly finished changing the name.
Liu Qingrui expressed his thanks, then he led the Hague Gang members to leave. After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Qingrui turned to the disciple and said, "Are there a lot of things like this?"
The disciple looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Replying to the Gang Master, there are many. This is because there are conflicts between the gangs in the city. Sometimes, just like the Hague Gang, when the Gang Master is killed, the Gang Master would be replaced. Then the Chamber of Commerce would have to report to us. This should be a common thing."
Liu Qingrui asked, "Then what if we destroy other gangs? Do we still need to report that? "
The disciple nodded and said, "Yes. If we destroy the other gangs, then we can take over their territories and industries. But at the same time, the crystals that they have to hand over every month must also be paid by us. Therefore, we need to report this to the higher-ups."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he led the disciple towards the Hague Gang's residence. It must be said that the Hague Gang wasn't a big gang. It was just a small gang with a few dozen people. Therefore, their residence only had three adjacent courtyards. Most importantly, the Hague Gang didn't have any businesses. They only had a small shop, and the shop was very small. The things that they sold were just ordinary pills and talismans. They couldn't be sold for a lot of money.
When Liu Qingrui arrived at the Hague Gang's residence, he saw that the three courtyards had already been opened up by the Hague Gang. There were also some simple houses built inside. It wouldn't be a problem for these people to live in. However, it can be seen that the Hague Gang wasn't very rich. There was nothing in the gang, even the place where they ate was very casual. There were two cooks in the gang, and they were both family members of the gang members. It was said that the Hague Gang members would go out and hunt beasts. And the things that they obtained were all exchanged for crystals. They weren't even willing to eat beast meat.
After listening to the members of the Hague Gang, Liu Qingrui didn't know what to say. He knew that the Hague Gang wasn't a big gang, but this was the first time he had heard of a gang that was in such a miserable state.
