RNP Chapter 48: A Battle of Three Major Gangs!
Chapter 48: A Battle of Three Major Gangs!
The Number Gang had a tough time lately. After all, they were the most obedient subordinates of the Island Raiders in Hong Kong. The Island Raiders sent them a telegram every day urging them to work, and even Big Boss Ge couldn't handle it.
However, Ge Dalong was afraid of losing his life, so he could only tell his superiors that he had suffered heavy losses recently and needed to rebuild, while trying to delay and avoid conflict with Boss Huo, for fear that someone would come in the middle of the night and take his head away.
Ge Dalongtou even prepared several more properties and spent his days studying how to move to a different place, but this still didn't put Ge Dalongtou at ease.
Ge Dalongtou used to do stalking, and he knew that if he left any trace, there might be problems.
These properties might be figured out in just a few days.
Ge Dalong also thought it best to strike first. Everyone has a few ruthless people under their command. He decided to sneak into Boss Huo's house and kill him!
However, not only does Boss Huo's large family live together, but they are also all willing to fight to the death. Their entire family started out by being brave and ruthless.
More importantly, Ge Da Longtou was unsure whether the person who had "tattooed" him that day would come out and cause him trouble again after he had killed Boss Huo.
And then there's Zhang Guohao. It's highly likely that this guy ambushed me at night, but he's too fierce to handle!
If there's no way to kill him directly, Ge Dalongtou can't be on edge all the time, can he?
There are no days when you can guard against thieves, only days when you're a thief yourself.
If this were when Ge Da Longtou first brought his brothers to Hong Kong Island, he might have fought to the death with Huo Laoban and Zhang Guohao. At that time, Ge Da Longtou had nothing!
But now that Ge Dalong has established himself, with the help of the number, this promising career is thriving, and he has a large and successful business. It's not worth it to fight to the bitter end.
Ge Dalongtou still needs to make amends for himself; this is like porcelain not touching a tile.
With Citadel Beach in such a sorry state, Ge Dalong has to think about his future.
Without thoroughly figuring out what formidable men Boss Huo has under his command, Ge Dalongtou won't risk his life against Boss Huo!
Besides, Ge Dalong wasn't lying; he really did suffer heavy losses. In several naval operations, he not only lost two capable Red Sticks but also injured over a hundred of his underlings.
I wonder how much the resettlement allowance will cost!
Moreover, with the loss of hundreds of capable and ruthless henchmen, the strength of the Number Gang has been affected, and their various shady businesses are easily snatched away by others.
There was nothing the higher-ups could do but keep urging the Number Gang to take action. Ge Da Longtou resisted for half a month, but was forced into a corner. So, Ge Da Longtou came up with a crooked idea: to drag the Number Gang into the chaos of the underworld.
It's true that there are some formidable figures in the martial arts world, but most of them are just mediocre people. Fighting with these people is more likely to cause a big commotion than to be risky.
Besides, Ge Da Longtou had a rather unpleasant relationship with He Anle and Dong Fuhe before. Back then, Ge Da Longtou dragged these two gangs into doing things together, which was basically getting something for nothing.
They touted the benefits to the skies, but in the end, not much was produced, and the Anle and Dongfu gangs also suffered considerable losses.
Dong Fuhe, in particular, suffered more than ten injuries, including two who were wounded with double red sticks. Someone has to compensate for these losses!
We definitely won't get compensation from Boss Huo, so we can only turn to the Number Gang. This was the idea of Ge Dalong, the leader of the Number Gang.
Besides, a whole machine gun bullet was taken out of Fatty's chest. Fatty's inner thoughts were exactly the same as Ge Dalong's, commonly known as bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
He Anle suffered less damage; they held back when they attacked, and ran away incredibly fast when they saw the situation was bad.
More than ten people were injured, but Shou Dong was no pushover either. This matter was a case of using public office for private gain, both to complete the task assigned by his superiors and to help himself seize benefits.
But if they really suffer losses, Anle will have to take a bite out of the Number Gang, since it was Ge Dalong who led the charge!
As soon as Anle and Dongfu and their respective factions started asking for benefits from the number, Ge Dalongtou's eyes lit up. He was just dozing off when this opportunity came his way.
The three parties had argued several times, and finally, at this point, they started fighting!
When these three parties clash, the Number Gang and Dongfuhe are really going all out, since Dongfuhe has been badly scammed and is desperate for money.
He Anle was just waiting in the back to pick up the scraps. He confronted the number gang quite a few times and showed off his skills, but he didn't really fight.
Today you steal one of my things, tomorrow I'll smash up your nightclub, the day after tomorrow I'll steal your horse, and the day after that I'll rob your goods...
And just like that, the entire martial arts world became lively, with all three gangs being major organizations.
Tung Fook Wo was backed by the police and the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, which controlled half of the dockworkers on Hong Kong Island as members.
The Number Gang is well-funded, backed by Island Raiders, and its core members are all former spies. Now it is expanding uncontrollably and has a large and powerful force.
While accepting money from Island Raiders, He Anle also worked hard to expand, developing rapidly within the He-branded gangs.
These three gangs all claim to have tens of thousands of members, although in reality, at most only one-tenth of them can actually be brought out to kill people.
In the current situation on Hong Kong Island, triads wield significant power; one could even say that half of Hong Kong Island's residents have triad affiliations.
However, the fact that so many people join gangs does not mean that they are involved in illegal or criminal activities. Many of them are street vendors, dockworkers, craftsmen, and the like. They join gangs mainly to pay less protection money.
Various clubs value the number of members; a large number of people means more influence, and a large number of people can make them look impressive when they go out.
So anyone who joins a gang pays a membership fee, not a protection fee. Membership fees are always cheaper than protection fees.
Furthermore, joining a club will reduce the fees you have to pay to the authorities, since the club has already paid a portion of it.
Therefore, many people who cannot obtain official jobs or opportunities to work for large companies have no choice but to join organizations.
These people don't even bother to stand guard when the horses are drying; they're unreliable in a real fight, they're just bluffing.
This time, Boss Huo put a lot of effort into investigating these three gangs, fearing that their recent quietness meant they were about to pull off something big.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. These three clubs did a big thing, but it wasn't aimed at me.
Boss Huo's smile was absolutely radiant.
Zhang Guohao was also quite happy, as these losers now had a place to vent their energy, and they were able to focus on their work on the ship.
"Recently, many bosses have given me gifts, saying that thanks to our intervention, there are fewer troublemakers, and their ships are much safer to sail."
"These bosses have it tough too. They earn their money by risking their lives. Now, as long as they don't run into pirates, they can relax and sleep on the ship all day."
When Boss Huo talked about these things, he became even happier. If there was anyone he was in the same boat with, it was these bosses who delivered goods to the mainland together.
They may not have the same transportation capacity as Boss Huo, but they all do the same things and share the same heart!
