Chapter 49

The Three Heroes' Assembly has never been the domain of a single person. From the day it was established, the Three Heroes' Assembly belonged only to the three of them, with no one being the leader.

Meng Changhe, being the oldest and having some skill in managing the gang, gained the most fame within the gang, and the entire Three Heroes' Assembly gradually came to respect Meng Changhe the most.

However, the power and influence of Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun were not insignificant, and they had no intention of vying for power. Therefore, over the past dozen years, the Three Heroes' Assembly developed very steadily.

But in recent years, they have become somewhat dissatisfied with Meng Changhe, and the reason is Meng Changhe's son, Meng Chong.

Neither of them had children, but Meng Changhe had a son.

People will grow old and die. When they are gone, who will take over the Three Heroes' Assembly? Regardless of what Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun think, Meng Changhe is preparing to hand over the Three Heroes' Assembly to his son and is already paving the way for him.

Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun's dissatisfaction stems from this.

The Three Heroes' Assembly was established by the three of us. Since we have no children, we have no objections to you wanting to leave the Three Heroes' Assembly to your son.

But now, while we are still in our prime, you are already paving the way for your son and starting to erode our power. Isn't this a bit too hasty and excessive?

In the past, Meng Changhe only did such things in secret, but now he is openly paving the way for Meng Chong.

The Three Heroes' Assembly recruits warriors from other gangs. Whoever recruits them, the recruited person will naturally be closer to them.

Meng Changhe saw Su Xin's extraordinary qualities and wanted Meng Chong to recruit him personally, clearly intending to bring Su Xin closer to Meng Chong and secure this capable general for him.

This is precisely what Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun are dissatisfied with. However, they can only complain in secret and will not confront Meng Changhe directly.

As the largest gang in Changning Prefecture, the Three Heroes' Assembly has countless eyes watching for any vulnerabilities to attack them.

Therefore, even if they have significant conflicts, they cannot have internal strife, as that would simply give others an opportunity.

At this moment, outside the Shenglong Tower, Meng Changhe earnestly told Meng Chong, "Chong'er, if you can recruit Su Xin this time, he will surely become your greatest asset in the future."

Meng Chong shook his head and said, "Father, aren't you overestimating Su Xin? I heard he is even younger than me. To be able to become a headman, it's at most a matter of good luck.

Chen Lao of the Green Bamboo Gang is just a sycophant. I could send anyone to kill him. Su Xin took over Yongle Fang with just one tough battle. Is such a person really worth me personally recruiting?"

Disappointment showed in Meng Changhe's eyes. His son was still too immature.

When he mentioned Su Xin, Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun immediately saw Su Xin's strength, but his son actually thought he was not worth paying attention to.

Actually, among the second-generation members of the many gangs in Changning Prefecture, Meng Chong was already quite good.

While Sha Yuandong and others were still playing with chickens and dogs, Meng Chong had already started participating in the management of the gang.

But even so, Meng Changhe still felt it was not enough.

Meng Chong was arrogant, which was extremely disadvantageous when dealing with other gangs.

Remember, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. No matter how weak the enemy, there should be no hint of contempt.

Moreover, Meng Chong grew up under Meng Changhe's protection. With his father behind him, the gang members naturally dared not show any disrespect to Meng Chong.

But what if his father were gone? Could Meng Chong control these unruly gang members?

The Three Heroes' Assembly was much stronger than other gangs in Changning Prefecture, but managing them also required more effort.

"Alright, just listen to me and recruit Su Xin. Remember, you are there to show respect and recruit him, so be humble."

Meng Changhe also brought several steady-tempered gang members to accompany Meng Chong. If he could successfully recruit Su Xin, who was about the same age as him, they would grow together and eventually suppress the old members of the gang.

However, Meng Chong did not understand his father's well-intentioned efforts. He was rather dismissive of Su Xin.

This was not just because of Meng Chong's arrogant personality but also because of their age difference.

Meng Changhe saw Su Xin's youth and wanted Meng Chong to recruit him so they could grow together.

But unfortunately, Meng Chong's personality made him look at Su Xin unfavorably.

At the same age, or even younger, Su Xin received such high praise from his father, which made Meng Chong jealous.

He was always the strongest among his peers from a young age.

As a child, he could fight several people at once. As an adult, while others like Sha Yuandong were still playing with chickens and dogs, he had already started handling gang affairs.

Although Meng Chong dismissed Su Xin's achievements, he was still somewhat jealous deep down.

The Three Heroes' Assembly never recruited people secretly. They would openly set up and state their conditions.

This approach made many people feel good, and some even felt honored.

Being recruited by the Three Heroes' Assembly was a proof of one's strength and being recognized by the Three Heroes' Assembly.

Although Meng Chong had never done this before, the experienced gang members arranged by Meng Changhe directly went to the Yongle Fang headquarters and loudly announced, "The young leader of the Three Heroes' Assembly, Meng Chong, is here to meet Headman Su."

After receiving the Xiaohuan Pill, Su Xin began to seclude himself, preparing to advance to the Middle Stage of the Postnatal Realm in one go. Therefore, he entrusted all the affairs of the headquarters to Huang Bingcheng.

Hearing the voice, Huang Bingcheng immediately came out and bowed, "It's the young leader of the Three Heroes' Assembly. Please come in."

Upon hearing the name of the Three Heroes' Assembly, Huang Bingcheng was delighted.

After so many years in the Falcon Gang, how could he not know about the Three Heroes' Assembly's custom of recruiting people?

The headmen of the Falcon Gang were all old members who had fought alongside Sha Feiying, so they had not been recruited by the Three Heroes' Assembly. However, many members of other gangs had been recruited.

Being recruited by the Three Heroes' Assembly was a proof of one's strength, and Huang Bingcheng was naturally pleased.

Especially since the young leader of the Three Heroes' Assembly, Meng Chong, had come in person, this was a pleasant surprise.

In the past, the importance of the Three Heroes' Assembly to a person was judged by the strength of the person sent to recruit them.

For ordinary people, the recruiters were usually eloquent gang members. For those truly valued by the Three Heroes' Assembly, a headman would be sent to recruit them.

Now, the person sent to recruit Su Xin was the young leader of the Three Heroes' Assembly. What did this not mean?

Although Meng Chong did not have a substantive position in the Three Heroes' Assembly, his title as young leader was enough to speak volumes.

Seeing that the person who came out to greet him was not Su Xin, Meng Chong frowned and asked, "Who are you? Where is Su Xin?"

Huang Bingcheng smiled apologetically, "I am Huang Bingcheng, responsible for managing the finances and personnel under Headman Su. Headman Su is currently in seclusion. Can the young leader wait for a couple of days? Once he comes out of seclusion, I will notify you immediately."

If Su Xin were in a regular seclusion, Huang Bingcheng would have immediately gone to inform him to come out.

However, this time Su Xin was preparing to advance to the Middle Stage of the Postnatal Realm, so he specifically instructed Huang Bingcheng that even if something major happened, he should wait until the seclusion was over.

This order made Huang Bingcheng realize the importance of Su Xin's seclusion. Even if Meng Chong came in person, he could not interrupt Su Xin's seclusion.

Hearing Huang Bingcheng's words, Meng Chong frowned.

The Three Heroes' Assembly had come to recruit someone, and even the young leader, Meng Chong, had come in person, but Su Xin did not take them seriously, which was extremely arrogant!

Moreover, this insignificant person in front of him actually asked them to wait for a few days. Who did he think he was, to be summoned at will?

But remembering his father's instructions, Meng Chong suppressed his anger and said, "Go tell Su Xin to come out. The Three Heroes' Assembly has many affairs and has no time to wait for him!"

Huang Bingcheng said anxiously, "Young leader, it really can't be done. My leader's seclusion is very important and cannot be disturbed.

If you have something, why don't you go back first? Once my leader comes out of seclusion, I will have him visit the Three Heroes' Assembly. What do you think?"

Meng Chong laughed in anger, "Do you mean I came here for nothing? Su Xin is so arrogant that I, Meng Chong, came in person and can't even see him!

Now, I'm asking you one thing, are you going to call him or not? If you don't, I'll go myself. I want to see what qualifications Su Xin has to be so arrogant!"

Huang Bingcheng blocked Meng Chong and pleaded, "Young leader, please don't make it difficult for me. My leader is at a critical moment in his seclusion and cannot be disturbed."

"Get out of my way," Meng Chong said coldly.

Huang Bingcheng shook his head and did not budge.

Meng Chong's anger could no longer be suppressed. When had his words become like empty talk?

Even this insignificant person from the Falcon Gang dared to defy his orders?

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out of my way?"

Meng Chong slapped Huang Bingcheng, sending him flying to the side, his face swelling and a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Huang Bingcheng's internal cultivation was very weak. Even though he had learned martial arts, he had not opened ten acupoints, while Meng Chong had already reached the Early Stage of the Postnatal Realm.

This slap left Huang Bingcheng no chance to dodge, and he was sent flying.

Seeing this, the gang members at the headquarters were immediately enraged.

They did not care who Meng Chong was; they only knew that their good leader, Huang Bingcheng, had been hit!

Under Su Xin, Li Huan always played the bad cop, while Huang Bingcheng played the good cop.

He came from the lower ranks and was genuinely good to the gang members. He often joked with them, and they respected him, second only to Su Xin.

Seeing Huang Bingcheng slapped hard, several hot-tempered gang members immediately drew their short spears to attack, but Huang Bingcheng stopped them.

"Everyone, stop!"
