Chapter 5: What do you mean by betraying your own? This is called you being unkind and me being unjust!
“You’re quite generous, kid!”
Kwan Tsai Sum sneered, “Does your Brother know?”
“Heh, it’s not mine anyway, so why care so much?”
Wu Feng pouted, “It’s not too late to consider these things after my Brother becomes the Hung Yee Sit Lord!”
These words made Huang Wengang, who had been acting as a background board, beam with joy and feel deeply moved.
“Kid, do you know the consequences of stabbing your own people in the back like this?”
Kwan Tsai Sum threatened, “Once the news leaks, Hung Yee will definitely severely punish you and your Brother!”
At these words, Wu Feng felt nothing, but his Brother Huang Wengang turned pale with shock.
“What’s the point of talking about this?”
Wu Feng said impatiently, “Zhong Ye did me a great favor, but then he wanted my Brother and me to die. What kind of fool would agree to such a trade-off?”
“My Brother and I have only been in Hung Yee for less than ten days, and they’ve already assigned us the task of taking down Sen Ge, a Wo On Lok Red Pole. Whether we succeed or not, will we have a good outcome?”
“To hell with it, that old ghost Zhong is really no good!”
Kwan Tsai Sum cursed angrily, but felt quite lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, the two Brothers in front of him weren’t greenhorns, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss this time.
Given the martial prowess and ruthlessness Wu Feng displayed, if he had truly made up his mind, Kwan Tsai Sum would have been dead for sure.
“Alright, then how do you think we should cooperate?”
Kwan Tsai Sum quickly adjusted, directly reminding him, “Let me state beforehand, don’t make the conditions too excessive!”
“Naturally, I’d like to ask Sen Ge to cooperate and help my Brother and me get promoted smoothly first!”
Wu Feng said with a smile, mentioning the promise Hung Yee’s Zhong Ye had made earlier.
“How do you want me to cooperate?”
Kwan Tsai Sum asked curiously, “With the strength you’ve shown, kid, do you still need to act?”
“My Brother’s strength is pretty good!”
Wu Feng smiled lightly, ignoring Kwan Tsai Sum’s teasing, and went straight to the point: “Of course, he’s not as good as Sen Ge. Please agree to my Brother’s challenge and go easy on him for ten rounds, that’ll be enough!”
“You’re bold, kid, do you want to step on me to rise?”
Kwan Tsai Sum’s face immediately fell, and he said angrily, “In the jianghu, what matters most is face!”
Huang Wengang, standing beside him, stiffened and subconsciously looked at Wu Feng.
“The right to manage Zhong Ye’s mahjong parlor, and the other mahjong parlors under Hung Yee!”
Wu Feng’s expression was cold, and he said unhurriedly, “It’s just a normal transaction. Does Sen Ge find it very difficult?”
“Then tell me, how do I get these benefits?”
Kwan Tsai Sum said irritably, “Don’t beat around the bush, or we’ll just part ways!”
“Zhong Ye has a son in Australia who’s proficient in all vices: eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling!”
Wu Feng said directly, “Don’t tell me Wo On Lok can’t handle such a playboy!”
Kwan Tsai Sum widened his eyes, looking at Wu Feng with considerable apprehension, and said in a deep voice, “You’re ruthless, kid!”
“Sen Ge, just don’t burn your bridges!”
Wu Feng said indifferently, “If Zhong Ye goes all out and hires hitmen regardless of the consequences, that’s none of my business!”
Before dusk fully settled, a shocking piece of jianghu news broke out on Shanghai Street.
Huang Wengang, a Hung Yee Si Jiu, proactively challenged Kwan Tsai Sum, the new Red Pole of Wo On Lok. He endured ten rounds before being knocked down, earning Kwan Tsai Sum’s respect. Kwan Tsai Sum explicitly stated that he would not cause trouble for Hung Yee again in the short term.
The news spread, immediately causing a sensation among the street thugs in Mong Kok!
While widely publicizing it, they were also filled with envy and jealousy.
They knew that a rising jianghu star would emerge in Hung Yee, but unfortunately, it wasn’t them.
Meanwhile, in the Hung Yee Tuen Mun, specifically on the third floor of Sit Lord Zhong Ye’s mahjong parlor, it was bustling with activity.
Zhong Ye kept his promise. Under the witness of more than a dozen veteran Hung Yee Si Jius, they cut a chicken head, drank yellow wine, bowed to Guan Gong, and recited gang rules. Huang Wengang and Wu Feng were simultaneously promoted, one a Red Pole and the other a Caoxie!
This is why Hung Yee is always on the verge of collapsing. Its territory only covers a part of Shanghai Street, and the entire society only has one Red Pole. The previous Brother Bao was already injured and hospitalized, and Huang Wengang is the newly promoted Red Pole.
The situation for Caoxie is similar. The previous Caoxie joined another society, and Wu Feng is now the only Caoxie in Hung Yee, which can only be described as terrifyingly thin.
“Hahaha, good, good, good! From now on, you two Brothers will be the pillars of our Hung Yee. You must work hard, and the society will rely on you in the future!”
Zhong Ye was very happy, looking at Huang Wengang and Brother Wu Feng as if he had picked up gold ingots.
The truth was similar; the Brothers’ performance exceeded Zhong Ye’s expectations.
They dared to challenge Kwan Tsai Sum directly and even managed to withstand ten rounds under his punches. Such martial prowess was truly impressive.
Not only did they earn Kwan Tsai Sum’s respect, but they also helped temporarily resolve the crisis at the mahjong parlor. How could he not be happy? The society gained two more cannon fodder to attract firepower.
“Zhong Ye, you’re too kind. You are the backbone of Hung Yee!”
Wu Feng smiled lightly, politely declining Zhong Ye’s invitation to go to Da Fu Hao Nightclub, stating that both Brothers were still injured and needed to deal with them properly back home.
Therefore, even the step of holding a celebratory banquet was skipped.
How could Wu Feng not see the sarcasm and disdain in the eyes of those old Si Jius who paid their respects?
He didn’t care and pulled his not-so-enthusiastic Brother Huang Wengang away.
“They’re just a bunch of useless weaklings, why bother with them?”
On the way, Wu Feng comforted him, “If something really happens, won’t they still shamelessly come to us for help?”
Huang Wengang thought about it and realized it was true, and his gloomy mood improved considerably.
Upon returning to their residence, he eagerly asked, “A Feng, the promise you made to Kwan Tsai Sum, wasn’t it too much?”
It was inconvenient to ask in Kwan Tsai Sum’s Tuen Mun, and it was also inconvenient to ask when they returned to Hung Yee Tuen Mun to report, so he had been holding it in, feeling quite stifled.
“Brother, are you talking about our Hung Yee-managed mahjong parlors?”
Seeing Huang Wengang nod, Wu Feng explained, “If we don’t let Kwan Tsai Sum get involved in the management rights of the ‘Rui’ character mahjong parlors, how else can we make him conflict with Shui Fong?”
“Conflict with Shui Fong?”
Huang Wengang was a bit confused and asked curiously, “A Feng, please explain clearly!”
“Don’t think that just because we cooperated with Kwan Tsai Sum this time, there won’t be conflicts of interest in the future!”
Wu Feng patiently explained, “My Brother and I also took a risk this time. Do you think it’s possible that Kwan Tsai Sum doesn’t hold a grudge? Anyway, I don’t have much hope!”
Huang Wengang nodded repeatedly, feeling quite scared afterward. How could he have been so muddle-headed?
“Actually, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. Instead of waiting for Kwan Tsai Sum to find trouble with us, it’s better to keep him busy so he doesn’t have the time or inclination to bother us. Isn’t Shui Fong the best choice?”
At this point, Wu Feng spread his hands: “You also know, I don’t like mahjong parlors!”
