Tagore did not scream, but he let out a long sigh. He looked at Jiang Cheng in horror. After a long time, he asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Charlton and Hans also looked at Jiang Cheng. They were not mentally prepared to join the Lung Hing Society.
"It's very simple!" Jiang Cheng said with a chuckle, "I believe that during this time, you have gained some understanding of the Lung Hing Society. We, the Lung Hing Society, have established a foothold in France. We do not want to be a small gang of one or two hundred people. You should be aware of this little ambition. However, all the territories in Paris have been divided up. If we want to gain a foothold here, we must get rid of one of the people who have eaten the cake and sit in that position. Now, the best candidate is Martin Luther. After you join the Lung Hing Society, we will be brothers. We can work closely together to deal with Martin Luther and help you take revenge!"
"On the other hand, after we seize the territory of the Martin Gang, the black people in the 18th arrondissement will not obey the jurisdiction of the Lung Hing Society. What I need is for you, the former leader of the black gang, to come out and manage them again. Let the gangs in the 18th arrondissement become the helpers of the Lung Hing Society, not the scourge of private troubles. On the other hand, if you do not join the Lung Hing Society, even if you defeat Martin Luther, you will not be able to become the leader of the 18th arrondissement again. Even if you used to have a high prestige in their hearts, without strength to back you up, everything is still a fantasy."
After a short pause, Jiang Cheng looked at Tagore and Hans with a smile. "Just now, I analyzed everything from the perspective of interests. In addition, from an emotional point of view, I have investigated the lives of the two of you. You are the kind of people who keep their promises and will not easily betray others. So, if you are willing to join the Lung Hing Society, I will sincerely welcome you!"
"In the end, if you become the Blackbat Hall under the Lung Hing Society, you will not be limited to ruling the 18th arrondissement. In the future, a hall may have tens of thousands of people. After all, the goal of the Lung Hing Society is the whole of France, and even the whole of Europe. How can a hall not have such strength?" Jiang Cheng looked at Tagore and Hans expectantly.
"If you become the Blackbat Hall under the Lung Hing Society, Tagore, you will be the Hall Master and your brother will be the Deputy Hall Master. The Blackbat Hall will be managed by the two of you. That is all I want to say. So, can the two of you consider joining the Lung Hing Society?" Jiang Cheng looked at Tagore and Hans with anticipation.
When Hans heard that if he joined the Lung Hing Society, he might be able to rule over a hall with tens of thousands of people in the future. His heart surged and his face flushed. Just as Jiang Cheng had said, the two of them had no money or connections. Even if they were to take revenge, they could only hide in a corner and live the rest of their lives in obscurity. As long as one was a man, who did not have ambition? It was just a matter of whether they had the ability to achieve it!
And now, the opportunity was right in front of them!
Hans ran to Tagore's side and squatted down. With an excited expression, he whispered into his ear. There was no need to think to know that he was persuading Tagore to agree to Jiang Cheng's request to join the Lung Hing Society and become the Blackbat Hall!
Upon hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Tagore's heart surged with emotions. He had always been an ambitious man, but because of his lower body's disability and his fear of being pursued by the Martin Gang and the Red Gloves, he had lived in seclusion. Because he had lost the ability to fulfill his ambition, he had fallen silent. Now, Jiang Cheng had given him hope, and his ambition had been revived.
As he constantly took deep breaths, Tagore pondered carefully in his mind. After a long silence, he looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "If we join the Lung Hing Society, what responsibilities and restrictions do we have?"
Jiang Cheng was overjoyed. The fact that Tagore could ask this meant that Tagore was already a little tempted, but he still had some concerns. So he thought about it and answered, "As a Hall under the name of a gang, there are naturally responsibilities and restrictions, but there are only three most important things. As long as these three are done, the rest are trivial."
"Alright, Cheng Ge, what are the three?" Hans asked Jiang Cheng with a burning gaze.
Jiang Cheng answered with a smile, "First, you are not allowed to betray or kill the brothers of the Lung Hing Society. Second, you must obey the orders of the gang's upper echelons. Third, you must never betray the interests of the Lung Hing Society. Those are the three rules, which are also known as the morality of the pugilistic world. The other matters will be handled by each hall master."
When Hans heard that, he was tempted. Such loose conditions were as though there were no restrictions. As for the three rules that Jiang Cheng mentioned, it was something that had to be followed in any gang! He looked at Tagore, who was beside him, hoping that he would agree.
Tagore lowered his head in thought.
"Actually, you don't have to make a decision so quickly. You can consider it for two days, but I hope that you can do it as soon as possible. After all, it won't be long before our Lung Hing Society decides to attack Martin Luther's territory," Jiang Cheng said with a faint smile.
When Tagore, Hans, and Charlton heard Jiang Cheng's words, they all looked over in surprise. They didn't expect that the Lung Hing Society would act so quickly. It seemed like they were going to act so decisively.
They looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Well, since you guys haven't joined the Dragonrise Association yet, we aren't supposed to announce this plan to outsiders to prevent it from leaking out. However, since you guys have a deep grudge against Martin Luther, I'm sure you won't tell anyone about it, so I can tell you about it. Based on our investigation, Rhode Street is a piece of territory that we must take over no matter what. Also, the three nightclubs and bars near Rhode Street that originally belonged to Martin Luther, as well as a few massage parlors and foot massage parlors, are all going to be under the Dragonrise Association's control," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Tagore, Hans, and Charlton were all shocked. Although they hadn't made a move against Martin Luther yet, they had done a lot of investigation. That territory occupied about a quarter of Martin Luther's financial income, which was equivalent to snatching a quarter of Martin Luther's territory. Martin Luther would definitely go crazy over it.
"How sure are you?" Tagore asked with a frown.
Jiang Cheng raised two fingers and made an eight gesture. He said lightly, "Eighty percent! If you can join us, then you'll have a hundred percent chance. The main problem is whether you can hold on to these territories after you seize them. Now, the French Lung Hing Society has more than 200 people. If you want to manage these territories and guard against Martin Luther's counterattack, you won't have enough manpower. "
Changing the topic, Jiang Cheng raised his hand and pointed at Tagore. "I remember that Blackbat Kui has forty or fifty people, as well as the guns you've accumulated. If we join forces, it's enough to deal with Martin Luther and his men! And with your familiarity with this area, it won't be a problem to recruit more people. "
Jiang Cheng then said with a smile, "In addition, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. As a Hall Master, half of the income of the hall needs to be handed over to the headquarters of the Lung Hing Society, while the other half is handled by the Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master. Therefore, the management of the properties under their jurisdiction depends on the ability of each branch. When Martin Luther collapses, the Blackbat Hall will be able to manage at least one-third of the properties."
Hans' eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and looked at Tagore, who was next to him. He pleaded, "Big Brother, let's agree and join the Lung Hing Society. Many of our brothers in the Blackbat Society left because of the low income. If we can manage one-third of the properties under Martin Luther's name, we can get millions of euros a year! We only have 200,000 yuan a year now, and we have to support 43 people. Many of them are still doing odd jobs to make a living. They are all brothers who have been with us for many years. Do you have the heart to let them live like this for the rest of their lives? "
When Jiang Cheng and Jing Long heard what Hans said, they did some rough calculations and could not help but smile bitterly. This Blackbat was really poor! More than 200,000 yuan to support 43 people was probably only enough for living expenses.
Tagore was silent for a long time, but then he took a deep breath, looked up at Jiang Cheng and Hans, and said, "Well, I agree to join the Lung Hing Society, but I have a condition. I hope the Lung Hing Society can agree to it." He focused his eyes and stared into Jiang Cheng's eyes. It seemed that this condition was very important to him.
Jiang Cheng could also feel it. His expression changed from playful to serious, and he asked seriously, "What condition?"
"If you catch Martin Luther, you must let me handle him personally!" Tagore said with a solemn look.
Hearing that it was only a condition, Jiang Cheng smiled. "What's wrong with that? When the time comes, as long as we catch him, I'll leave him to you two brothers to deal with. I only have one request, and that is to not let him go, haha …"
Tagore looked satisfied, nodded, and said with a hint of excitement, "In that case, I agree to join the Lung Hing Society! As for my brothers, they have been with us for many years. If they know that my brother and I have joined, they will not refuse. "
Hearing that Tagore had agreed to join the Lung Hing Society, Hans smiled excitedly. The joy in his heart was beyond words. He turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng, his eyes full of expectation.
Jiang Cheng was also very happy that Tagore had agreed to join the Lung Hing Society. Seeing Hans' expectant eyes, he smiled slightly, coughed, and said, "Since the Blackbat Society has decided to join the Lung Hing Society and become the Blackbat Hall, then let Hans go back with us. Let the military counselor of our French branch, Zhuge Liuyun, arrange the registration. Then, the Blackbat Hall can receive a one-time membership reward — 300,000 euros."
The three members of the Blackbat Society were very surprised to see that they could receive a membership reward of 300,000 euros as soon as they joined the society. They smiled in pleasant surprise, especially Hans, who was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Ahem …" Jiang Cheng coughed lightly, interrupting Hans' impulse to call his partner. He continued, "I haven't finished yet. Although the membership reward is 300,000 euros, from now on, the territory you currently occupy will belong to the Lung Hing Society. Future income will be recorded, and half of the income will be handed over to the Lung Hing Society."
Tagore and Hans nodded indifferently. This was what they had agreed on before, and it was a matter of course. Moreover, getting a one-time membership reward of 300,000 was equivalent to getting two or three years of income in one go. Moreover, in the future, when they followed the Lung Hing Society to occupy Martin Luther's territory, they would get even more benefits. This small loss was not worth mentioning.
"By the way, there is one more thing I need to ask of you." Jiang Cheng suddenly said to Hans and Tagore, "Now there are more than a dozen black members of the Lung Hing Society. I suspect that they are likely to be spies sent by Martin Luther, but I'm not sure. I'll let them join the Blackbat Hall later. I'll leave them to you to deal with."
