Chapter 460 - 424 Slaying the Dragon
December 18th, Los Angeles.
The atmosphere in Monterey Park had been tense for the past half month because of the escalating struggle between the two largest Chinese societies, Hongmen Zhiqing Hall and Longhua Association.
After 10 p.m., almost all the shops on the streets of Monterey Park would close. If anyone was still walking the streets at this time, and they were carrying weapons, there was no doubt they belonged to one of the two major societies.
During the past half month, there had been dozens of small-scale firefights between the two societies, each suffering losses. However, relative to each other, Zhiqing Hall had sustained greater losses because Longhua Association had a group of extremely high-quality gunmen who had the advantage in small-scale skirmishes.
No one knew how long the struggle would last, and both sides had been restraining themselves, avoiding large-scale firefights. Additionally, each society had its own considerable influence among local government contacts, so the police had not yet intervened in their dispute.
...
Jiawei Avenue, inside a certain apartment, members of Zhiqing Hall were gathering to discuss their plans.
"The time has been confirmed," Lin Yun told everyone, "the day after tomorrow, at ten o’clock at night, they will send someone."
"That’s great!"
"This time we’ll definitely kill those bastards!"
Everyone spoke excitedly. Zhiqing Hall had lost five bars, four nightclubs, three underground casinos, and an underground boxing arena recently. The financial loss was secondary, the real issue was the loss of face, which had left members of Zhiqing Hall feeling disgraced.
