Chapter: 5927

This removal was not a big deal, but it shocked others into silence, because they could all see that Antonio's two ears were both gone, leaving only bloody scars.

At this stage, it was no longer necessary to guess who had tortured Antonio so brutally, and everyone in their hearts understood that there must be someone else behind the scam that brought them here today.

Just then, Leaf Chen and Wan Ba Jun walked up the stairs one after another.

These people had met Leaf Chen on the first floor before, but no one knew what he was doing.

When Leaf Chen arrived, he looked around at everyone and said his first sentence: "Today, I'd like everyone to come together to discuss the future power dynamics and profit distribution of New York gangs. Since there are many people here, I won't give each person an opportunity to express their opinions, so let's dive straight into the topic starting from today."

From now on, all your gangs will report to Wah Hap, and 75% of your net income will be submitted weekly to Wah Hap."

As soon as Leaf Chen spoke, everyone in the room gazed at him with wide eyes, despite many people having a foul-mouthed expression, but it was clear that they were filled with anger.

Recently, Antonio had allowed Blaze Angel to take over Wah Hap's territory in Chinatown, and this matter was very clear to other gangs. In their eyes, Wah Hap seemed to have no resistance at all.

But now, as they looked at Leaf Chen's standard East Asian face, they thought to themselves that this was Wah Hap's final struggle, and Wah Hap must be desperate enough to try everything to catch Antonio, then use Antonio to threaten these gang leaders.

In essence, it's just a means of using the emperor to intimidate vassals.

Such a tactic might have some effect in ancient times, but it would be almost useless in the gang society of New York.

Because although there are hundreds of small and large gangs, and their relationships with each other are complex and intertwined, each New York gang has an eternal spirit that will never be enslaved.

In other words, they don't want to become anyone's dependent. Right now, they're dependent because of the circumstances, but as soon as the circumstances change to favor them, any person would become their food, and they would tear them apart and swallow them whole, then turn into a hot, steaming pile of crap.

So, using the emperor to intimidate vassals is useless for them.

Even if Leaf Chen were to kill Antonio right in front of them today, they wouldn't truly surrender to him. At most, they would just pretend to submit, waiting until they've escaped from here and then killing Leaf Chen to pieces, fragmenting his corpse into countless segments.

Moreover, Leaf Chen has also said that he wants them to submit to Wah Hap and pay protection fees to Wah Hap in the future, which means they can leave this place alive.

So, what's there to be afraid of? Just wait for an opportunity to strike back and that's it.

Therefore, each of them is inwardly mocking Leaf Chen's proposal, with their mouths sealed shut. So, they all pretend to be foolish together.

However, Leaf Chen doesn't need their responses. He just continues to say: "Furthermore, you must all have a dedicated financial officer from tomorrow onwards, recording all income and expenses in detail, and reporting to Wah Hap every week. If anyone's account is problematic, I'll cut off his left hand the first time, right hand the second time, and head the third time."

Leaf Chen's harsh words only made them less responsive.

Although they can't communicate with each other yet, each person has their own yardstick in their heart. Everyone feels that Wah Hap's influence is just a little bit bigger, and its members are not numerous. If it comes to blows, it's definitely not going to be many factions' match for them, completely lacking any advantage to take hold of them.

At this point, Leaf Chen continues to say: "You should all have noticed that today's leaders from all the factions are accompanied by their second-in-commands. So, I'll say what I plan to do next. First, within a few minutes, all current faction leaders must board ships and leave New York for Syria, with their positions inherited by the second-in-command who accompanies them. However, if the second-in-command refuses to fulfill their responsibilities, this matter will be handed over to Mr. Wan beside me to handle."

As he finishes speaking, Leaf Chen looks at Wan Ba Jun and says in a calm tone: "Ba Jun, come tell everyone about it."

Wan Ba Jun nodded, then took a step forward, standing before everyone with a military posture, his face stern and cold.

"This is my introduction. I am the master of the Dragon Hall, Wan Ba Jun." JrNovels.com
