"I hope you really won't get involved in the drug business again, or don't blame me for being ruthless," Mo Ming said, his gaze sharp as he fixed it on Eda. "Eda, about those films you’re making, I may not like them, but I still need to tell you not to force anyone. If I find out, you can imagine what will happen next."
"I understand. Following Shura Boss, I know there are some lines that cannot be crossed." Although Eda felt a bit displeased, he could only comply out of fear of Mo Ming's methods. After all, money is secondary to life.
"That's good to hear. I have my principles, and I hope you won't cross my line. As for other matters, do whatever you want; I can't be bothered to manage you," Mo Ming nodded slightly and said, "Now, I can tell you our next plan."
Upon hearing this, Yin Eun-hye and the others immediately became serious, waiting for Mo Ming to reveal the next step. They had always been curious about why Mo Ming had brought so many gangs together.
"Heh, I think you've all heard of the Frank Family?" Mo Ming said with a faint smile. "My next plan is to deal with the Frank Family. Of course, you can rest assured that I'm not reckless or foolish. I'm well aware of the Frank Family's influence in Y Country. Even with your combined strength, it's difficult to confront them directly. However, if I didn't have complete confidence, I wouldn't be standing here!"
"Uh, the Frank Family is a major force that spans both the underworld and legitimate businesses in Y Country. On the surface, it seems like our six major gangs control this area, but we have to act according to the Frank Family's wishes and dare not defy them," Mario said with a bitter smile. "Shura, do you really want to take on the Frank Family? The current leader Reed is quite a dangerous person."
"I know the Frank Family is powerful, but I've never been afraid of dealing with anyone. Moreover, I'm not looking to eliminate the Frank Family entirely; they've been entrenched for so long that their roots run deep and are quite formidable. It would be difficult to uproot them completely."
Mo Ming's eyes flashed with intensity as he continued, "You just need to create chaos and draw the Frank Family's attention to us. At that point, you won’t need to do anything else; I just need an opportunity to talk with Reed!"
"Shura, what exactly do you want to discuss with Reed?" Yin Eun-hye asked with a worried expression. "Although I've never met Reed, from his style of doing things, he's definitely an extremely dangerous person. If you proceed like this, we might get eliminated before we even establish ourselves."
"I know what kind of person Reed is. As long as you stir things up enough, there's no need to worry about his retaliation. By then, the Y Country government’s crackdown on crime will likely become more severe; Reed will find himself constrained. To protect his interests from being harmed, he will have no choice but to negotiate."
Mo Ming appeared confident; indeed, he had memorized all available information about Reed and had some understanding of him as someone who could temporarily set aside hatred for profit. However, such a person could also be a terrifying enemy. If it weren't for Murong Lian, he wouldn't want to confront Reed at all.
"Since you've made up your mind, Shura, no matter how powerful the Frank Family is, we will follow you through thick and thin," Annan said with a slight smile. "I believe you'll find a way to make our gang stronger."
"Starting tomorrow, you can send people to cause trouble at the Frank Family's territory—make it as big as possible so that the police catch wind of a serious conflict brewing in Y Country. This will surely trigger a harsh crackdown on crime," Mo Ming instructed. "I anticipate that many of Reed's businesses will become very difficult for him; at that point, he will have no choice but to temporarily compromise for his family's interests."
"We know what to do; don’t worry about it, Shura Boss," Eda nodded.
Mo Ming was quite satisfied with Eda and the others' attitudes and put away his cold demeanor to reveal a friendly smile. "That's all for today’s discussion; now it's time for our celebration! We should raise a glass to Mario for his allegiance; if he hadn't chosen our side wisely, it would have taken much more effort to bring Moses Gang under our control."
Mo Ming raised his glass, and the leaders followed suit. They toasted each other and drank heartily. The following activities were purely for enjoyment; Eda and others called in a group of hostesses, but Mo Ming didn’t need any and let them all go to his companions instead.
That night, the "Dragon Soul Gang" took its first real step. Yin Eun-hye and the others returned to their respective gangs, discussing the situation with those below them. Everyone understood their current identity: they were now part of the "Dragon Soul Gang."
However, Night Peak faced difficulties taking over the Grizzly Bear Gang. Rex's death had been too sudden, and as an outsider, Night Peak naturally encountered resistance from the gang members who were reluctant to accept him. Under Michael's instigation, many wanted to nominate him as the new leader.
Inside the original headquarters of the Grizzly Bear Gang, a large group of people was gathered, nearly filling the small space. Night Peak had just arrived, but it was clear that he was not being welcomed. Michael sat in the leader's position while Night Peak didn't even have a chair.
Hearing his supporters calling for him, Michael wore a smug expression, revealing his smoke-stained teeth as he looked down at the composed Night Peak with disdain.
"What do you think you are?" Michael mocked. "Although you were pushed forward by the Lion, even without Rex, your status doesn't grant you the right to lead here as an outsider!"
"That's right; I am just an outsider. However, the Lion made it very clear that I am the leader of the Grizzly Bear Gang, not you. Although you've been here longer and have more brothers backing you up, since I, Night Peak, stand here now, this position must be mine," Night Peak replied coldly, showing no fear of Michael's eager subordinates surrounding him.
"Haha, the Lion indeed said you would take over as leader. But I'm sorry; do you see anyone here supporting you?" Michael smirked sarcastically. "Can someone who is not well-liked be a convincing leader? It would be better for me to take over; I can still follow the Lion."
"Oh? So you mean this position is something you must seize?" Night Peak sneered.
Upon hearing this, Michael's smile faded as he slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily. His subordinates immediately surrounded Night Peak. Seeing this scene, Michael grinned menacingly. "That's exactly what I mean! I will sit in this leader's position; otherwise, the Grizzly Bear Gang will break away from Dragon Soul Gang and become independent again!"
"That statement alone is enough for you to die a thousand times. Are you planning to betray Dragon Soul?" Night Peak's gaze turned colder as he scanned his subordinates surrounding him and said to Michael, "I can give you one more chance: submit to me, and I won't kill you!"
"You little clown; it's truly laughable. I think you still don't understand the situation and dare to threaten me. Are you looking for death?" Michael sneered. "If Dragon Soul Gang insists on making you the leader, what does it matter if I betray them?"
"Fine, fine! You are acting recklessly; don't blame me for being ruthless," Night Peak said with a glint of killing intent in his eyes. He showed no concern for his current predicament and seemed to have anticipated this scenario without any surprise.
"Brothers! Since this outsider insists on meddling in our Grizzly Bear Gang affairs, let's send him to meet God! God will tell him how foolish his words are today!" Michael appeared amused by Night Peak's threat and clapped while laughing.
The surrounding subordinates seemed to receive an attack order and rushed forward. However, just as they surged toward him, Night Peak quickly drew a gun from his pocket and fired at one of the approaching subordinates' heads, instantly causing chaos.
Night Peak showed no concern for such a bloody scene; taking advantage of the gunfire to scare off those around him, he dashed toward Michael with incredible speed. Before Michael could react, the cold muzzle of a gun was already aimed at his head.
"You better not move, or I'll blow his brains out," Night Peak said with a sinister smile, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Clearly, he had already made up his mind about Michael's provocation. He pressed the gun firmly against Michael's head and added, "I told you, if you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
In fact, after so many years in the game, Michael was still a coward. He had just been lucky enough to accomplish a few things that allowed him to rise to power. At this moment, with Night Peak's gun pressed against his head, a flicker of fear crossed his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Hmph, if you have the guts, just shoot me. I don't believe that by killing me, you can walk out of here!" Michael pretended to be tough and said, "You only have one handgun; let's see how you can take down so many of us!"
"That's not something you need to worry about; after all, you'll be dead."
Night Peak coldly laughed and without hesitation pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, a bloody hole appeared in Michael's head. With surprise and fear in his eyes, Michael widened them and instantly became a corpse.
After Michael died, a few of his more loyal subordinates rushed forward with reddened eyes. Night Peak's gaze grew even colder as he shot each of them without hesitation. His marksmanship was precise; each bullet struck vital points, taking their lives in an instant.
"If any of you are willing to die, feel free to rush at me. I don't mind taking care of a few more of you," Night Peak said with a serious expression as he scanned those who wanted to move but were too afraid. "Michael's death is no loss; he wanted to betray the Dragon Soul Gang, so his only fate was death! If any of you want to challenge the Dragon Soul Gang, come and try!"
The subordinates were intimidated by Night Peak's ruthless methods. This strategy of capturing the leader first proved effective; with Michael dead, those who were close to him no longer dared to make noise. After all, with someone dead, there was no need to seek death themselves.
"Very well, does anyone oppose?" Night Peak glanced at the subordinates present and declared, "Then I am now the leader of the Grizzly Bear Gang. One rule: obey the Dragon Soul Gang or die if you betray them! From now on, the Grizzly Bear Gang will be renamed Giant Bear Hall and become a branch of the Dragon Soul Gang!"
