Chapter 124 - 112: Beheading (Part 2)
Lotus Gang’s stronghold.
Shen Shimu was practically bursting with joy these past two days.
"When a person feels truly at ease, even plain water tastes sweet," Shen Shimu said, squinting his eyes and savoring the rare leisure time.
For a long while, the Huai River Pier had been a standoff between three equally matched gangs, deadlocked for years. He never thought of further expanding his power to annex territories.
But when fortune smiles upon you, it’s simply unstoppable. Lotus Gang was wiped out jointly by him and Sun Guangchun, and the Feiyun Gang was even easier; Sun Guangchun and all vice gang leaders disappeared without a trace.
"There’s no rush in annexation; slowly nurture it. When Ao Daguang brings it up himself, I’ll make my move." Shen Shimu closed his eyes, lying on the deck chair, listening to the pleasant chirping of birds, feeling completely delighted.
"Even though progression on the surface is slow, the hidden sides must not stop. Later, let the former hall masters of Feiyun Gang take some beatings; they’ll naturally understand." Shen Shimu thought quietly to himself, feeling relaxed and at ease.
"Gang Leader, something terrible has happened." A trusted aide hurriedly entered to report.
"Such haste, losing decorum." Shen Shimu’s good mood was immediately disrupted, and he closed his eyes, criticizing, "What’s the panic?"
"Outside, there’s a big man with a scarred face insisting on seeing you. We found him unfamiliar, so we blocked him a bit. But that person started by taking a minion’s head, and now he’s unstoppable in killing."
"Even the vice gang leader couldn’t last a single move against him." The trusted aide urgently reported the situation.
