Chapter 32: Taking Over the Quicksand Gang
Editor: Henyee Translations
"The members of the Quicksand Gang are all here."
Jiang Li kept walking. He had already seen the people of the Quicksand Gang at the entrance. There were almost eight hundred of them. With those who died last night, the Quicksand Gang should have a total over more than a thousand members, but less than a thousand and thirty.
"Chief, I think we should be careful. Even a worm will turn. If they decide to die with all of us, we'll be in trouble," Wu Zong said seriously next to Jiang Li.
"They wouldn't dare," Pang Kui grunted. "If they attack us, I'll definitely kill them with my hammer."
"It's not that I look down on you, but you've just reached the peak stage of the elementary level and you want to kill them? I think they'll kill you instead," Wu Zong said with a mocking tone.
"Do you wanna try my giant hammer?" Pang Kui swayed his hammer, which was a few times larger than Wu Zong's head/
"…"
Wu Zong shut his mouth.
"Chief." Luo Yi of Eagle Claw Hall came up with a white dagger case made with tiger skin.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li asked.
"Chief, this is the 'dagger case' you asked me to prepare for you. I already got it yesterday, but I didn't have the chance to give it to you. It's made with tiger skin, so it's durable and it looks good. I hope you like it." Luo Yi gave him the dagger case.
"I almost forgot about this." Jiang Li smiled and took the dagger case. It's soft and tough. However, he didn't bring the cold iron dagger with him, so he couldn't try it.
"Pretty good." Jiang Li nodded.
"It's my pleasure to work for you," Luo Yi said respectfully.
"From now on, you'll be the Hall Master of Eagle Claw Hall," Jiang Li said.
"Thank you, Chief." Luo Yi was thrilled. He bowed and said loudly, "I'll take care of Eagle Claw Hall for you."
The other Hall Masters of the Sirius Gang were envious. Luo Yi only got Jiang Li a tiger-skin dagger case and he was offered the position of Hall Master. That was too easy for him. Jiang Li was too nice.
In fact, Jiang Li had already decided to let Luo Yi be the Hall Master of Eagle Claw Hall before, since Luo Yi was originally the elder there and he was a Martial Artist. He was also "loyal" to Jiang Li, so the position would certainly belong to him. The "Tiger-skin dagger case" was just an excuse to appoint him as the Hall Master.
While they were talking, Jiang Li and the rest of the members had arrived in front of the headquarters of the Quicksand Gang where they stopped.
"Founding elder of the Quicksand Gang, Hu Dong."
"Founding elder of the Quicksand Gang, Zhou Tianzhang."
"Founding elder of the Quicksand Gang, Wang Pingyuan."
"Elders of the Quicksand Gang."
"…"
"Greetings, Chief Jiang!!!"
In an instant, the elders, officers and members of the three halls, led by Hu Dong, all bowed to Jiang Li and yelled. It was quite magnificent.
"Oh." Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and seemed to be startled.
Even though Jiang Li was confident about taking over the Quicksand Gang, he thought he would encounter some difficulties. Some diehard fans of Heng Liusha might at least try to resist. So he was planning to take down the Quicksand Gang with some fierce tactics, but it was good now. These people yielded directly and were willing to join the Sirius Gang. They even addressed Jiang Li as Chief. This spared a lot of time and effort for Jiang Li.
"Good, very good." Jiang Li nodded. He sized up the three founding elders. The remaining founding elders of the Quicksand Gang were all Martial Artists of peak-stage level one, while the seven elders were at the mid-stage.
Besides them, there were twenty Martial Artists of early-stage level one. These were the remaining senior members of the Quicksand Gang.
"From now on, the Quicksand Gang will become one of the halls of the Sirius Gang and will be renamed Quicksand Hall. The halls that originally belonged to the Quicksand Gang will also go under the Sirius Gang. They will be independant and will no longer be under the control of the Quicksand Hall." Jiang Li announced his decision.
"This…" Hu Dong was stunned. He didn't like the decision, but he didn't say anything.
"Yes, Chief," Zhou Tianzhang nodded and replied.
"We'll follow your order." Wang Pingyuan bowed.
"So, the three halls will be independant now?"
"Well…"
"Yes!"
"…"
The members of the three halls started discussing.
Jiang Li was separating the Quicksand Gang into four parts, which could prevent them betraying him secretly.
Even though Jiang Li had the mech army and wasn't afraid of them, he wanted to avoid this kind of trouble if he could. These gangs only needed to focus on developing their businesses and making more profit, so that they could give him more money and herbs. If they made any trouble, he would have to kill them.
"Hu Dong, since you're the most superior founding elders of the Quicksand Hall, you'll temporarily be the Hall Master of Quicksand Hall. You must guarantee to make sure the gang and the businesses operate normally," Jiang Li said again. "If something bad happens, you'll be responsible for it."
"Don't worry, Chief. Nobody in City East would do anything with you and the Sirius Gang here," Hu Dong immediately said.
"…"
Zhou Tianzhang and Wang Pingyuan didn't say anything. They looked at Hu Dong enviously. They were all founding elders earlier, and now Hu Dong became the Hall Master and was more superior than they were. They didn't dare blame Jiang Li, so they could only put it on Hu Dong.
"Haha… Congratulations for taking over the Quicksand Gang, Chief Jiang. The Sirius Gang has become a third-rate gang and you now have control of the entire City East."
A laugh came from behind Jiang Li. A middle-aged man, who was in a white robe embroidered with a lifelike white dragon, came up. There were a few other people following him.
"He's the leader of the White Dragon Gang, Long Chongzhen," Hu Dong exclaimed quietly.
"And there's Gu Tianqing. He's just left the Sirius Gang. I didn't know he joined the White Dragon Gang." An elder recognized the brawny middle-aged man next to Long Chongzhen. He used to be an elder of the Quicksand Gang and was a diehard fan of Heng Liusha.
"Hehe, you're really handsome and outstanding, Chief Jiang." The leader of Tingyu Tower, Yu Shulan, was also here. She was wearing a red gauze dress. She had a curvy body figure, fair skin and a pair of long, slender legs. Her entire body was full of charm.
"He may even be full of wild ambitions." Hua Tian of the Tianmen Gang grunted. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and short hair. He was wearing a hard black armor with a giant double-sided axe on his back. The ground shook slightly when he walked.
"Oh," Jiang Li mumbled as he sized up these three leaders who weren't invited. He then narrowed his eyes and looked around to see if there were people hiding around.
Jiang Li killed Heng Liusha and took over the Quicksand Gang and City East. Although there didn't seem to be a big problem, the three gangs became alert. They were worried that Jiang Li was too powerful and would eliminate them as well. So, they came to check on Jiang Li and the Sirius Gang.
