章 7: Chapter 4: I'm Better with My Right Hand_3

"How much silver did Liu Sandao leave behind?"

What's the most crucial thing for a gang? There's only one word - money.

Cultivation requires money, and so does supporting the brothers under one's command.

Huang Bingcheng cautiously answered, "Not a penny is left."

"You're managing such a huge Happy Forest, and you're telling me Liu Sandao didn't have a single penny?" A cold sneer from Su Xin sent a chill down Huang Bingcheng's spine.

"There really is none left! In order to please Chen Dao, Liu Sandao gave all the money he collected to Chen Dao for gambling. Now, he probably couldn't even find ten taels of silver on him."

Huang Bingcheng explained with a bitter face, then suddenly remembered something, "Right, Lord, Liu Sandao also has five hundred taels of silver which he just extorted from the shops in Happy Forest. He was going to present it to Chen Dao. Should we keep it or return it to the shops?"

"Do you even have to ask? That money was extorted by Liu Sandao. What does it have to do with me? Why should I return it to them?" Su Xin turned his head and glanced at Huang Bingcheng, who still lacked perceptiveness in his view. Was such a matter even a question?

"Right, Lord, there's something I'm unsure whether or not to bring up," Huang Bingcheng suddenly became hesitant.

Su Xin waved his hand, signaling Huang Bingcheng to continue.

With Su Xin's permission, Huang Bingcheng slowly said, "Lord, it's not a big deal that you killed Liu Sandao this time. We in the gang world are not as hypocritical as those Sects. To be blunt, power is respected, and there are many instances where a subordinate usurps the Boss."

Liu Sandao, in particular, rose to his position by betraying his brothers, which fundamentally violates loyalty. No one would object to you killing him. But now that you've killed Chen Dao, this is big trouble."

Chen Dao is Third Master Tiger's adopted son."

Third Master Tiger is already in his fifties this year, and it took him over twenty years to groom Chen Dao to his current level."

Third Master Tiger, having no sons, intended for him to be his successor."

Now that you've killed Chen Dao, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the hurdle that is Third Master Tiger."

After listening, Su Xin rhythmically tapped the table with his finger, "Go and get me detailed information on Third Master Tiger, and convert those five hundred taels of silver into silver notes."

"Yes, I'll get on that right away." Huang Bingcheng immediately started to prepare everything Su Xin asked for.

It's not that Huang Bingcheng was exceedingly loyal."

But since he had chosen to follow Su Xin, he naturally hoped that he could secure this position. Otherwise, wouldn't all his previous actions have been in vain?

After getting hold of the information, Su Xin read everything in one go and then started tapping the table with his finger.

This was a habit he'd developed in his previous life - when contemplating an issue, he'd sit in his office all alone and tap the desk.

Half an hour later, Su Xin finally stood up: "Come on, let's go see Third Master Tiger."

"Wh...what!? You're going to see Third Master Tiger?" Huang Bingcheng nearly dropped his jaw in shock at Su Xin's words.

Even though it had only been an hour since Su Xin killed Chen Dao, it was certain that Third Master Tiger already knew."

These gang members under Liu Sandao were all new recruits after he became the Gang Leader. Naturally, they didn't have any loyalties to him, and likewise, they had no such feelings for Su Xin, who had killed his way to the top.

Huang Bingcheng could now guarantee that someone had already secretly leaked the news and reported it to Third Master Tiger in hopes of receiving a reward.

He figured that the best course of action would be for Su Xin to take the five hundred taels of silver and seek shelter from other Gang Leaders.

Doing so at this moment to visit Third Master Tiger, the most likely outcome would be being slapped to death by him!

"What, don't you want to go?"

Huang Bingcheng gritted his teeth and replied, "Let's go!"

Anyway, he had chosen Su Xin's side now. If he faltered, there would be no need for Third Master Tiger to act, Su Xin could probably kill him on the spot with his sword.

The other gang members watched Su Xin and Huang Bingcheng leave the Drunken Moon Building with indifferent expressions.

If Su Xin could come back alive from Third Master Tiger's, then he would be their Boss. If he died, who would care about him?
