Chapter 10: Walking the Jianghu, Safety First!
Bang!
Huang Wengang landed a heavy punch on his opponent's face.
The next moment, the opponent's nose bridge collapsed, blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
He himself was not at ease, breathing heavily, drenched in sweat, and radiating heat.
His face and body were covered in bruises, and he leaned on his knees, looking utterly exhausted.
“Sixth round, Hung Yee's Firearm Gang wins!”
Kwan Tsai Sum announced loudly, immediately eliciting a loud cheer from the Si Jiu present from Hung Yee.
The frivolous expressions on the faces of several big bosses from other large gangs who were watching the excitement had disappeared.
Their gaze towards Huang Wengang showed a hint of increased respect; being able to single-handedly defeat six gang Red Poles proved he was a formidable fighter.
But it was only a slight increase in respect; they certainly didn't lack fighters of such caliber among their subordinates!
With no more excitement to watch, they greeted Kwan Tsai Sum and left directly.
That's right, Huang Wengang, who was almost carried off the stage by the gang's Si Jiu under Wu Feng's command, had consecutively defeated six gang Red Poles, achieving complete victory in this fighting challenge.
Although these six gang Red Poles were not considered formidable individuals, they were experienced street fighters. Huang Wengang's combat prowess was comparable to Chen Haonan's at the same age.
Chen Haonan became a disciple of Big B at seventeen and had already practiced boxing for three years by the age of twenty.
“Gentlemen, you must honor your bets; our past grievances are now settled!”
Wu Feng directly approached the six Sit Lords and Hall Masters of the gangs who were gathered together, extending his hand with a smile and saying, “Give me the prize!”
Hmph!
The six men snorted without speaking, casually tossing thirty thousand cash in plastic bags onto the table, then left without looking back, taking their subordinates with them.
In front of Wo On Lok's Red Pole Kwan Tsai Sum, they naturally dared not make idle threats, but this feud would not be easily resolved.
This fighting challenge naturally had a prize, otherwise, Hung Yee would be unilaterally bullied, which made no sense.
Hung Yee put up the management rights to certain properties on Shanghai Street, while the six opposing gangs each put up thirty thousand as a prize.
This money wasn't a lot, but it was enough to make them feel the pinch, yet it was within their acceptable range.
Wu Feng naturally didn't care about his opponents' mindset, nor did he care about potential future troubles.
As long as Brother survived the dangerous period of becoming Sit Lord, the situation would only get better and better!
He casually collected the one hundred and eighty thousand cash on the table and handed it to his subordinate for safekeeping.
Turning around, he approached the Shui Fong boss who ran the betting stall, smilingly saying, “Brother Niu, let's get rich together!”
“You brat, you really dared to gamble! Here's the principal and prize money, a total of twenty-four thousand, take it!”
Shui Fong's Brother Niu was also a straightforward person, directly tossing out twenty-four thousand Hong Kong dollars, then putting more cash into his leather bag and leaving without looking back, taking his subordinates with him.
No wonder so many people liked to gamble; a double profit just like that made everyone envious.
Wu Feng had put in real money to strongly support Brother, taking twelve thousand directly from the profits collected from managing the properties and operating the Da Fu Hao Sauna, all betting on Brother to win.
If it weren't for Shui Fong's Brother Niu, who ran the betting stall, stating a two thousand cap per round, he would have gritted his teeth and invested even more!
Although he didn't have to worry about being pressed for debt by the gang if he lost, his 'support' was certainly heartfelt.
As expected, the return was quite generous, directly doubling his investment!
“Sen Ge, thank you for your help this time!”
Finally, he walked up to Kwan Tsai Sum and said generously, “Tonight, bring your Brothers and let’s go to Da Fu Hao Sauna for some fun! My treat!”
“You brat, that's all you've got? I thought you'd invite me to the Grand Palace on Portland Street!”
Kwan Tsai Sum's face was flushed, clearly pleased with his role in presiding over and witnessing this Jianghu fighting challenge, and he teased, “If I remember correctly, your Tuen Mun is Da Fu Hao Sauna, isn't it?”
“Sen Ge, what are you saying? As if I'd really be unwilling to spend those tens of thousands of dollars?”
Wu Feng waved the two thick stacks of large golden bills in his hand, annoyed, “When going out to have fun, safety is the most important thing; put everything else aside first!”
“Da Fu Hao Sauna is my Tuen Mun, so there’s some assurance of safety!”
“Furthermore, all staff at the sauna underwent a physical examination two days ago. There's also some health assurance, guaranteed by detailed medical reports from the hospital!”
“You brat, are you serious?”
Hearing this, Kwan Tsai Sum was a little surprised, disbelievingly saying, “Going to the hospital for a physical examination isn't cheap!”
“Sigh, isn't it just earning a little less? Safety first!”
Wu Feng said Depressed , “In the service business, employees inevitably encounter some unclean guests!”
“Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable all over. If there weren't medical reports from the hospital as a guarantee, I wouldn't even be willing to stay there much. It's still the same thing, I don't want to get infected for no reason!”
“Privately, it's not that no subordinates complained that I was messing around, wouldn't it be better to use the money for medical examinations to have fun? They're really a bunch of good-for-nothing rotten kids. What if someone deliberately targeted and caused trouble?”
“You brat, you're really something!”
Kwan Tsai Sum felt a chill in his heart after hearing such an explanation, though he didn't show it on his face.
“Then let's go with your plan, Da Fu Hao Sauna it is!”
“But let's be clear beforehand, it's an all-inclusive service of food, drink, and entertainment; simply having a sauna is boring!”
“Don't worry, Sen Ge, I'll definitely make you and the Wo On Lok Brothers satisfied!”
Wu Feng laughed heartily, then left with his subordinates, taking Brother directly to the hospital.
The gang did have a traditional Chinese bone-setting clinic they had cooperated with for years, but Wu Feng still insisted on Brother going to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. After all, Brother's head took several punches during the fighting challenge.
No one knew if Brother's brain was injured; better safe than sorry.
This fighting challenge could be said to have earned Hung Yee a lot of face, and at the same time, it earned nearly two million in cash prizes, greatly alleviating the embarrassment of the former Sit Lord Zhong Ye absconding with all the gang's cash flow.
After this battle, Brother firmly secured his position as Hung Yee's Sit Lord.
Wu Feng could rest assured and slack off on gang affairs, focusing on earning stable money.
Next, was a great opportunity to legitimately make a lot of money!
On the other side, Kwan Tsai Sum became increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it, and he grew somewhat anxious.
Wu Feng's words echoed in his mind like a demonic sound, constantly reverberating.
It felt as if he was being mocked for being unclean, as if he had contracted some dirty illness.
As a first-tier gang in Hong Kong, Wo On Lok's internal factions were largely divided based on their different industries.
For example, Long Gen, the Hall Master of Mong Kok, was the main controller of Wo On Lok's illicit industries.
As Long Gen's top enforcer, Kwan Tsai Sum was very ambitious at this time, keenly interested in the fighting and killing of the Jianghu, and also had a considerable gambling addiction, not being too keen on pursuing women.
Yet, even so, changing female companions every week was basic practice.
And these so-called female companions were basically dance Miss from the affiliated venues, very beautiful and with amazing figures, quite presentable, something he had always been very proud of before.
But now, he felt somewhat uncertain!
