"It's because I'm from the Eagle Gang that I chose to assassinate Dai Chong!"
Su Xin's face was full of passion. "Dai Chong killed my brother and provoked the Eagle Gang. His crime is unforgivable! I, Su Xin, have achieved what I have today because of the Eagle Gang's training. Insulting the Eagle Gang is insulting me, Su Xin! "
"Have you considered the consequences of this?" Dong Chengwu snorted coldly.
Su Xin patted his chest, "I, Su Xin's parents died when I was young, so I didn't study much. I didn't think that much. In any case, I've already killed them all. If this matter affects the gang, I, Su Xin, am willing to die as an apology!"
His speech was impassioned, and it really moved many people.
After all, the team leaders and the three leaders had fought their way up from the bottom. When they were young, they were like Su Xin. They dared to fight, but they were impulsive and didn't think about the big picture.
But Master Hu San almost vomited blood. He wanted to expose Su Xin right there and then.
You don't study enough to think so much?
Back then, Su Xin's glib tongue turned him from the criminal who killed his boss to the leader of the Merry Forest. He was more cunning than a fox!
Besides, Su Xin played the merchants of the Merry Forest in a month. He didn't seem to be a scheming, impulsive, and easily angered person.
No one present had any contact with Su Xin, so they didn't know his personality. Although Master Hu San knew, he could only pretend to be invisible in the corner and didn't dare to speak.
No matter what, Su Xin was his subordinate, and he was his adopted son. If he added insult to injury in front of so many people, his reputation in the Flying-eagle Gang would be completely ruined.
Besides, if the gang wanted to deal with Su Xin, he might even join in the fun. How would he dare to open his mouth to attract attention?
"Humph! Apologize with death? If we really start a war with the Azure Bamboo Gang, our Eagle Gang won't just lose one or two people. Can you afford to lose your life? "Dong Chengwu was not moved by Su Xin's words at all.
Dong Chengwu wasn't moved by Su Xin's words, but someone else was.
"Old Dong, don't be so cold-blooded. When our Flying-eagle Gang was first established, I used a hatchet to chop down the Three-headed Dragon of Magnificent Joy Workshop and seized the first territory for our gang."
The person who spoke was the Battle Hall Master, Lin Fuhu. He was tall and mighty, and he was in charge of the Battle Hall of the three great halls. Lin Fuhu had the heaviest killing intent.
Su Xin's eyes glowed with excitement as he said, "When I first joined the Eagle Gang, I heard about your deeds, Hall Leader Lin. You fought for the first territory for the Eagle Gang by yourself."
"Haha, a true man does not boast about his past achievements. Let's not talk about the past." Lin Fuhu's tone was humble, but he couldn't hide the smugness on his face. After all, it was the proudest achievement of his life.
Dong Chengwu glanced at Su Xin and said to Lin Fuhu with a frown, "Old Lin, this is different from our past. Back when our gang was first established, we needed to risk our lives to establish our family business.
But now, the gang has taken the proper path. If we were to start a war with the Azure Bamboo Gang, whose strength is on par with ours, we would not benefit at all. "
Lin Fuhu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Dong Chengwu, I think the older you are, the more timid you become. Isn't it just a war with the Azure Bamboo Gang? It's not like we haven't fought them before.
I think this kid is not bad. He has the demeanor I had back then. Not only should he not be punished, he should be rewarded.
Otherwise, wouldn't it disappoint those youths who fight for the gang? "
"You are twisting words and forcing logic! Fighting for the gang and disobeying orders and acting recklessly are two different things! "Dong Chengwu slammed his palm on the table with a bang, and he nearly knocked over the teacup.
"Dong Chengwu, what's the meaning of this? Who are you slamming the table with? Do you think I'm afraid of you? "Lin Fuhu stood up with a ferocious glint in his eyes.
Seeing the two quarreling so fiercely, Su Xin snickered inwardly. Huang Bingcheng's intelligence was really accurate.
When he first took over Merry Forest, Su Xin had asked Huang Bingcheng about the upper echelons of the Soaring Eagle Gang. Of course, in Huang Bingcheng's eyes, it was just gossip.
Out of the three hall masters of the Soaring Eagle Gang, Lin Fuhu and Dong Chengwu, the Disciplinary Hall, were at odds. It was something everyone knew.
Lin Fuhu was easily angered and impulsive.
Dong Chengwu, on the other hand, was impartial. Once he violated the gang's rules, no one could plead on his behalf.
In a battle a few years ago, a disciple of the Combat Hall had deliberately tortured and killed a member of a rival gang who had surrendered. He had violated the gang's rules and Dong Chengwu wanted to cripple him as punishment. The protective Lin Fuhu naturally came to plead on his behalf.
From his point of view, what was the big deal about killing a member who had surrendered? They were all hot-blooded men. It was normal for them to be unable to hold back occasionally.
The outcome of the matter was obvious. Dong Chengwu did not give Lin Fuhu any face. He immediately severed the tendons of the Combat Hall disciple's arms and legs, turning him into a cripple. The feud between the two hall masters was completely formed.
Su Xin's current situation was similar to that of the Combat Hall disciple. Lin Fuhu was naturally biased towards him.
Su Xin's impassioned speech might have seemed pretentious in Dong Chengwu's eyes, but in Lin Fuhu's eyes, he was a good disciple of the Soaring Eagle Gang. He was young and hot-blooded, daring to fight.
"Enough! The two of them are almost a hundred years old. Haven't they had enough of quarreling for so many years? "Sha Feiying said. The two immediately stopped talking and obediently returned to their seats.
"Zhuang Li, what do you think?" Sha Feiying asked Zhuang Li.
From his appearance, Zhuang Li was short and plump. He had an amiable smile on his face. He did not look like a gang boss, but a rich man.
Upon hearing Sha Feiying's words, Zhuang Li replied with a chuckle, "What ideas can I have? I'll just listen to everyone's discussion. However, it's best to handle this matter safely. If we don't handle it well, it will be just as Hall Master Lin said. It will easily disappoint the disciples in the gang. "
Dong Chengwu looked deeply at Zhuang Li as a haze flashed in his eyes.
Everyone present, as long as they were not stupid, understood the meaning behind Zhuang Li's words. He supported Lin Fuhu.
Dong Chengwu was impartial. During his time in charge of the Disciplinary Hall, those who had offended him were not limited to the Combat Hall. There were even more Charity Hall disciples.
The Charity Hall was in charge of the gang's finances. It was normal for them to secretly take advantage of the situation. However, if Dong Chengwu discovered it, they would be severely punished even if they did not die.
However, Zhuang Li's shrewdness was not as shallow as Lin Fuhu's. Even if he hated Dong Chengwu, he would not lose all decorum with him on the spot.
The three of them had two opinions. Of course, there was no rule in the Soaring Eagle Gang where the minority followed the majority. The three hall masters had only expressed their standpoint. The one who made the decision was still the gang master.
"Ahem." Sha Feiying cleared his throat and said, "Regarding Su Xin's matter, we should carefully deal with it.
Logically speaking, you should be rewarded handsomely for killing Dai Chong. You might even be promoted to the position of a team leader.
However, nothing can be accomplished without rules. The gang has already strictly ordered you not to provoke the Azure Bamboo Gang, but you still took action. This is disregarding the gang's rules and must be punished.
Therefore, even if your merits offset your demerits, I won't reward you or punish you. However, you must remember that only those who abide by the rules can live longer. "
Sha Feiying looked deeply at Su Xin with his last sentence. His words contained a different meaning.
Upon hearing Sha Feiying's verdict, Dong Chengwu's expression turned ugly. Not punishing Su Xin meant that Sha Feiying was standing on Lin Fuhu's side.
"Gang Master, how are we going to reply to the Azure Bamboo Gang? I'm afraid they won't let the matter rest with the death of Dai Chong, "Dong Chengwu asked with some dissatisfaction.
Sha Feiying waved his hand and said, "If they won't let the matter rest, then so be it. The Azure Bamboo Gang's strength is weaker than ours to begin with. Now that Dai Chong is dead, we will play with them if they want to be serious.
However, I believe that the Azure Bamboo Gang's men are not fools. With a valiant general like Dai Chong dead, they will be at a disadvantage in a fight.
However, we cannot let our guard down. Tell our men to keep their spirits up and prepare for battle. Once there are any accidents, we will immediately fight! "
"Yes!"
The team leaders present answered in unison.
Lin Fuhu revealed a pleased look. Their Battle Hall was least afraid of gang battles. The more intense the battle, the more credit they would receive.
Dong Chengwu waved his hand and left. Before he left, he took a deep look at Su Xin.
Lin Fuhu, on the other hand, patted Su Xin hard on the shoulder and laughed loudly. "You are not bad, kid. I like you. You dared to assassinate Dai Chong alone. You have guts! If you weren't already a small team leader, I would have brought you to the Battle Hall. "
"Thank you, Hall Master Lin, for your kindness. When I joined the Flying Eagle Gang, I treated you as my idol." Su Xin adeptly flattered and coaxed the Battle Hall Master away with a smile.
After the other team leaders left, Master Hu San stood up and patted Su Xin on the shoulder. "You did well. However, remember next time, don't be so impulsive. If there's anything, you can discuss it with Godfather."
Su Xin lowered his head and said, "I was just afraid of causing trouble for Godfather."
"What are you saying! Do I, your godfather, look like someone who is afraid of trouble? "Master Hu San pretended to be displeased and reprimanded.
"Yes, I understand. If something like this happens again, I will definitely discuss it with Godfather."
These two words were like a loving father and a filial son. No one knew who he was acting for. After a while of hypocrisy, he left the main hall.
Outside the door, Advisor Li and Huang Bingcheng were waiting anxiously. When they saw Su Xin come out safely, they immediately knew that Su Xin had safely survived this ordeal.
However, the reactions of the two were different. Huang Bingcheng was pleasantly surprised, while Advisor Li was shocked.
