"Dragon Soul?" Mo Ming laughed and said, "That's a nice name. Descendants of Huaxia, heirs of the dragon, possessing the Dragon Soul. Lion, did you come up with this name?"
"Uh... that woman thought of it. I didn't have the time to think about this. Hehe, as long as you think it's good, that's enough for me! I was worried you might blame me for taking the initiative," Lion awkwardly scratched his neck and smiled.
"Hehe, why would I blame you? This name is quite good. I plan to name the power we establish later after this," Mo Ming said with a hint of mischief at the corner of his mouth and a glint in his eyes. "We will build 'Dragon Soul' into a force strong enough to rival the Dark Order, standing at the peak of the world and looking down upon it!"
"Sounds great! I will definitely support you all the way!" Lion chuckled and said, "The scattered forces here have already become our power. So, boss, what do you plan to do next?"
"First, let's stir up some trouble to give Reed a headache. At that point, Reed won't be able to resist coming to talk to us. After all, we have quietly gathered a group of forces, and he won't act easily without understanding our intentions."
Mo Ming took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and slowly exhaled. While smoking, he was deep in thought about how to provoke Reed to attract him for a discussion.
"Lion, Jessica said you found out that Gong Gao Yi's daughter is having an affair, right?" Mo Ming said with a meaningful smile. "Did you find any evidence? If so, keep it for now and use it when the time is right. At that time, Gong Gao Yi will be finished!"
"Haha, boss, you're really interested in other people's dirty laundry!" Lion grinned mischievously and said, "Gong Gao Yi's daughter is named Miyu; she looks quite flirtatious. Just looking at her makes my heart race; she exudes a certain allure. No wonder Reed's foolish son is infatuated with her; he's completely captivated! However, Miyu is very careful every time she has an affair. I can only guess but can't collect any evidence."
"Come on, put away that lewd look!" Mo Ming rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What do you mean by wanting to see other people's dirty business? I don't have such peculiar tastes. Damn it, your gaze is getting more outrageous; are you itching for trouble?"
Mo Ming looked at the increasing grin on Lion's face; it was clearly a mischievous smile accompanied by an odd aura that made him distrustful.
"I don't know if you have such tastes or not, but you don't need to explain yourself to me. I don't mind if you do; regardless of your preferences, I still consider you my boss and will never look down on you," Lion began teasing Mo Ming.
"Get lost! Stay away from me!" Mo Ming shouted with a dark expression. "Let's talk about serious matters first. Send someone to follow Miyu; we must find a way to capture photos of her affair without alarming anyone!"
"Hehe, don't worry, boss. Jessica has already sent her trained members to investigate. It shouldn't be too difficult to obtain evidence of Miyu's affair," Lion nodded.
"Lion, the woman you've found is quite capable. If it weren't for her help, establishing the Underworld Intelligence Network would have been very difficult," Mo Ming said. "Now tell me about our Dragon Soul's current situation in detail."
"Sure." Lion thought for a moment and said, "Our force mainly consists of the six major local gangs, totaling around ten thousand people. The original leaders refused to submit except for Hong Xiu Bang; they were all eliminated by me. With the six hundred members from the African base I've brought along who are trained as 'Yihun,' we now have over sixteen hundred people at our disposal."
"That's too few! Compared to Reed, we're practically defenseless," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile and shook his head. "Withdraw our funds and invest heavily in developing our members. We need to make a big splash and attract Reed's attention; at that point, I'm sure he'll come looking for me."
"Boss, are you serious?" Lion asked excitedly. "There’s quite a bit of money involved here; are we really going to withdraw funds for member development? Hehe, I can guarantee we can grow our numbers to over fifty thousand! At that point, our power here will truly be formidable!"
"Really, since I have decided to establish a force that can rival the 'Dark Order,' I must take action. Now that you have already set the stage here, I will be even more resolute and directly develop our own power!"
"Alright, leave this matter to me, boss. If you're free tonight, come meet the leader here. I told them you would be coming today, and they are all eager to see what you look like. I figured we would meet sooner or later, so I arranged it for tonight."
"Where?" Mo Ming took a puff of smoke and slowly exhaled.
"Naturally within our territory. Originally, there was a bar under the Moses Gang called the Waiting Bar. Today, after we eliminated the leader of the Moses Gang, it belongs to us now. We will hold a celebration there tonight and casually meet our Dragon Soul's leader!"
...
The night was dark and gloomy; tonight, there was no moonlight. This was a bar with a shining English letter sign above it. Inside, the atmosphere was vibrant with lights and drinks, as if darkness had ceased to exist.
The Welcoming Lady revealed her long, snow-white legs and had an alluring face. Each lady had her own style, but they all exuded a certain allure because they frequented such places and understood men's psychology—only by being enticing could they continuously attract money from men!
Suddenly, several cars arrived on schedule—six in total—speeding up and stopping at the entrance. The bar's valet rushed over to wait for the drivers to get out of their cars so they could park them properly as individuals stepped out.
Among the six people, there was only one woman who stood out remarkably. Dressed in a fiery red embroidered outfit, her delicate face revealed determination. Her eyes, which should have sparkled with charm, instead held a glint of killing intent. She was Yin Eun-hye, the current leader of the Hong Xiu Bang!
Among the five men, there was a large black man named Annan, a young man with yellow skin named Liu Wenjie, and the remaining three were locals: a tall man with an eagle-like nose named Mario, a chubby man with a round face named Eda, and the most memorable one was Rex, whose face bore scars from burns. They were all newly appointed leaders of the other five major gangs who had risen to power by stepping over their predecessors. It could be said that Lion's ability to unify these gangs was thanks to their betrayal.
However, Lion did not intend to keep such people around for long. Since they could betray once, they could do it again; keeping them close was like having a ticking time bomb that needed to be guarded against. If it weren't for the current unstable situation requiring their support, Lion would have dealt with them long ago.
The only person who did not provoke Lion's killing intent was Yin Eun-hye. This woman was relatively intelligent; unlike other gang leaders who were stubbornly inflexible, she knew when to submit and wouldn’t engage in futile resistance. Moreover, Yin Eun-hye had actively approached Lion and volunteered to join.
The six gang leaders did not exchange too many pleasantries and directly led their people inside. Once in a room, their subordinates stayed at the door; there should be no unrelated personnel inside for the upcoming discussions—otherwise, it would be merciless!
"Miss Yin, I wonder if you've met our gang leader?" Annan smiled and said. "I'm really curious how someone as terrifying as Lion isn't the leader himself. When he told me there was another leader, I was stunned. Is this mysterious leader very strong?"
"Hehe, our leader just arrived today; how could I have met him? I'm also quite curious about what kind of person he is. But I believe he must be impressive; anyone who can command Lion surely has his merits," Yin Eun-hye shook her head and smiled. "Let's wait; once our leader arrives, we'll know instead of guessing wildly."
"That's true; we'll see him soon anyway. There's no point in speculating now; since it's still early, why don't we have a few drinks?" Annan suggested.
Liu Wenjie's gaze turned cold as he said, "Annan, I think it's better to wait quietly. We don't know the new leader's temperament; if we offend him because of this, we might end up dead."
"Hmph! Liu Wenjie, you're just a minor strategist! If it weren't for Lion supporting you, would you even be in your current position?" Rex sneered disdainfully. "What are you acting superior for? You used to bow your head when you saw me; now that you've gained some status, you've become arrogant?"
With a loud bang, Liu Wenjie angrily slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Rex, shouting, "What do you mean by that? Are you provoking me? Eda, you're nothing but a little clown with a yin-yang face; what do you think you are!"
"To hell with your whole family! Say that again if you dare. I hate being called a yin-yang face!" Rex stood up in fury, his expression fierce as he said, "Don't think you can stand on equal footing with me now; let me tell you, you're still nothing!"
Once a military strategist, Liu Wenjie showed no hesitation as he grabbed the wine bottle from the table, ready to charge at Rex. Mario immediately blocked him and advised, "Liu Wenjie, calm down. We're all on the same side; don't ruin the atmosphere."
"Come on! If you have the guts, smash it on my head!" Rex walked over with an annoyed expression, provocatively pointing at his own forehead and saying fiercely.
"Damn it, Mario! Let me go so I can smash this guy's head!" Liu Wenjie struggled a few times, but Mario was afraid of things getting out of hand and desperately stopped him.
Liu Wenjie roared, "Let go of me, or I'll smash you too!"
"Enough! Are you done making a scene? If the boss comes and sees us fighting among ourselves, he won't be happy. You know what the Lion's methods are like, right?" Yin Eun-hye couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.
Mentioning the Lion's methods made them all aware of the consequences, and they quickly calmed down. Rex stopped provoking Liu Wenjie, who also let go of his anger. Everyone sat quietly in silence, waiting for Mo Ming's arrival.
After a while, the door was pushed open. Mo Ming entered with the Lion, wearing a faint smile. He glanced at everyone inside and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Hehe, I hope you won't hold it against me for being late."
