Chapter 1252 - 1249: Hold the Line
Unlike the headquarters of other gangs, many gang headquarters are lavishly decorated to showcase their status in Qing City. However, the Qinghai Gang is different; their decor is simple because they can only afford to eat with the money from bars. They can’t afford those luxurious decorations.But Liu Kai never thought he would see a place even more simplistic than their headquarters. Indeed, he was still in the Nine Pavilion Club, the underground leader in Qing City. Seeing the few simple tables and chairs in the hall, with plain whitewashed walls, Liu Kai’s first reaction was that he had been duped.
But recalling the information provided by his subordinates and confirming there was no mistake with the location, this was indeed the Nine Pavilion Club. This indicated only one thing: the Nine Pavilion was poorer than them! Thinking of this, Liu Kai felt a bizarre sense of balance in his heart.
For so many years, the financial power of the Qinghai Gang had been in the hands of Li Lin. Every time Liu Kai saw that straightforwardly poor clubhouse, he felt annoyed. But now... Liu Kai felt that Li Lin wasn’t too bad.
Glancing at the people on the other side of the hall, Liu Kai chuckled disdainfully and sat on the sofa as if it were his own home. He looked up at the young leader across from him, "Others may not have seen your faces, but I know them very well. Honestly, it’s already quite surprising for someone your age to achieve what you have. I have to say, you should recognize the situation early, go home, and be the young master of your wealthy family. Wouldn’t living a leisurely life as a young master be nice? Why insist on fighting and killing here? You never know when you might lose your life. Don’t you agree, Young Master Chu?"
In response to Liu Kai’s words, Chu Kuang didn’t remove the mask from his face but instead mimicked Liu Kai’s disdainful smile, "Having said so much, do you know why a few of us wear masks?"
Before Liu Kai could speak, Chu Kuang leisurely continued, "It’s because we’re afraid someone might recognize our appearance and identity, out of insecurity."
"Look at you guys, all at this age and lacking neither status nor looks. You should work harder. But look, you’ve worked most of your life and still don’t match us. If someone like you were to recognize us, wouldn’t that be insecure enough to die and reincarnate?"
Liu Kai squinted slightly, "I’ve long heard that the young master of the Chu Family is arrogant, with a mouth that respects no one. Now I truly see it."
"Truly see it?" Chu Kuang raised his eyes, looking at Liu Kai carefully, and finally shrugged, "It seems your abilities aren’t enough, otherwise you should be lying on the ground in shame by now. Your confidence still somewhat surprises me."
"Hmph," Liu Kai sneered, "A young punk who hasn’t fully matured yet, making noise here."
As he spoke, he waved his hand. The Qinghai Gang members, who had been stealthily advancing, suddenly emerged with guns pointed at Chu Kuang and his party, who were forced to the back. "Considering you are the young master of the Chu Family, if you obediently plead and leave, I guarantee your safety. Otherwise, when the Qinghai Gang becomes the underground leader, even your father won’t be able to do anything to me!"
Chu Kuang frowned slightly, looking at the suddenly appearing group, whispered, "Damn, so many people. I wonder how things are going over there. If they come any later, Grandpa will die here!"
Despite the complaints, facing Liu Kai, Chu Kuang remained truly rebellious, "Screw you and your grandfather. Do you really think you can succeed just by following the Nine Pavilion’s path? You’re not even using the right people. Let me tell you, a fake is always a fake. First, your intelligence isn’t on the same level as the boss’. How can you dream of being the top dog?"
Liu Kai’s frown deepened, obviously provoked by Chu Kuang’s words. His eyes were full of gloom, and he sneered sinisterly, uttering just one word—
"Fire."
Instantly, countless bullets were fired from the Qinghai Gang’s side, forcing Chu Kuang and his group to quickly find cover and crouch down, "Damn it, they fire without even saying the start!"
Chu Kuang sidestepped and shot dead a Qinghai Gang member trying to advance, fiercely commanding, "Brothers, hold the line! Shoot these bastards dead!"
