Chapter 62

The door to the hall was pushed open, and Sha Feiying entered with four black-clad gang members, followed by Sha Yuandong.

This unusual move instantly made everyone present feel a chill.

The four black-clad gang members were specially trained by Sha Feiying and could be considered his half-disciples, forming the core of his true followers.

These black-clad gang members numbered over thirty, each of whom had been taught internal martial arts and combat techniques by Sha Feiying. Some had even reached the initial stage of the Postnatal realm, making them stronger than many of the major heads present.

Everyone, including Dong Chengwu and the other major heads, knew about the existence of these people.

After all, Sha Feiying was the leader of the gang, and it was normal for him to have some aces up his sleeve.

However, today, Sha Feiying had brought them to the meeting hall, which was quite unusual.

Especially since Sha Feiying had brought Sha Yuandong along today, which was even more peculiar.

In the past, Sha Yuandong had never participated in gang meetings. What did it mean for Sha Feiying to bring his precious son today? The most cunning of the three hall leaders, Zhuang Li, had a changed expression.

Su Xin also guessed something, but a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

After everyone was seated, Sha Feiying said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I have called you all here today to discuss the future plans of our Feiying Gang!

You all have seen the current situation in Changning Prefecture. Although our Feiying Gang is listed as one of the three gangs and four associations, we are actually at the bottom.

The four associations are too strong, while the three gangs are too weak. Even when combined with the Qingzhu Gang and the Jiangyang Gang, our territory is still smaller than the San Ying Association.

Therefore, if we want to develop and become a force comparable to the San Ying Association, our Feiying Gang must undergo reforms!"

The major heads all showed expressions of surprise, unsure if the leader had taken the wrong medicine. The current state of the Feiying Gang was not something that could be turned around with reforms.

The San Ying Association had risen because they had three leaders at the peak of the Postnatal realm. If the Feiying Gang had such leaders, they wouldn't need reforms to match the San Ying Association.

When they heard the word "reform," Zhuang Li's expression changed, and Dong Chengwu, who seemed to have guessed something, became even more sullen.

Sha Feiying continued, "Our Feiying Gang's old system is too outdated. During gang battles, all the major heads lead their subordinates into chaos without any order.

The gang's logistics management is also too scattered and lacks unity. Therefore, from now on, the gang will implement a centralized system!

All the powers of the four hall leaders will be transferred to the gang, leaving only the right to supervise.

The territories and subordinates of other major heads will also be transferred to the gang. Monthly fees will no longer be collected by individuals but by the gang, with a portion distributed as monthly allowances."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color. What was Sha Feiying trying to do? This was essentially stripping them of all their power!

What kind of centralized system was this? It was clearly a power grab!

"Leader, you can't do this! You promised us that all the territories we conquered would be under our control."

"That's right, Leader. Without territories and subordinates, what kind of major heads would we be? We'd be like commanders without troops!"

The major heads immediately erupted in protest, expressing strong opposition. However, Dong Chengwu and the others remained silent with sullen faces.

The first to speak would be the first to be shot. These people thought that protests would work? If the leader dared to say this, he had already anticipated their reactions.

"Shut up!"

Sha Feiying scanned the entire meeting hall, his gaze cold and icy.

"Do you have the nerve to speak? What have you been doing these past years? Don't think I don't know!

You have been embezzling the monthly fees meant for the gang and falsifying records. During gang battles, you put in minimal effort, only thinking about your own petty gains.

With the territories and subordinates in your hands, the Feiying Gang will eventually rot!

Anyone who opposes me will have to settle the accounts of these past years with me!"

Feeling the cold and murderous intent in Sha Feiying's tone, everyone fell silent.

They had made a lot of money through embezzlement over the years. If Sha Feiying decided to settle accounts, none of them would escape.

Moreover, they hadn't forgotten who Sha Feiying was. Just like over a decade ago, he could kill without any reason, let alone now.

Seeing the major heads submit, Sha Feiying turned his gaze to Su Xin and the other four hall leaders. "Do you have any objections?"

Dong Chengwu and the others all looked at Su Xin.

Of course, they had objections, but they didn't dare to voice them.

As Sha Feiying had said, everything they had was given by him. If he really decided to take their power, even the three hall leaders combined couldn't stand against him.

Now, the only one in the Feiying Gang who could negotiate with Sha Feiying was Su Xin.

Su Xin's rise had nothing to do with Sha Feiying. His subordinates, Huang Bingcheng and Li Hua, were major heads loyal only to Su Xin.

Moreover, the nearly five hundred core gang members under his command were carefully cultivated by Su Xin with money, and no one could take them away.

Combined with Su Xin's ability to kill Li Zhonghe, he was now the only one in the Feiying Gang who could say no to Sha Feiying.

In the past, Dong Chengwu and Su Xin had been at odds, and he had deeply hated Su Xin. But now, he desperately hoped Su Xin would stand up and oppose.

If Su Xin didn't hand over his territories and power, what right did Sha Feiying have to demand the same from them?

Su Xin had now become the only hope for Dong Chengwu and the others to retain their power, which was quite ironic.

Sha Feiying was also watching Su Xin closely. If Su Xin dared to oppose, he would take him down, even if it meant mutual destruction!

The forces under Su Xin's control were entirely out of his grasp, and Su Xin himself was the strongest among the three hall leaders, but Sha Feiying was not afraid.

There was a significant gap between the peak and the middle stage of the Postnatal realm. Even if Su Xin could kill Li Zhonghe, Sha Feiying was confident he could take him down. As for his forces, if they couldn't be used for his benefit, he would rather destroy them!

After a long silence, Su Xin slowly spoke, "I agree with the leader's decision, but as hall leaders and major heads, it's unreasonable to have no subordinates or territories.

I can hand over Yongle Fang and the new recruits, and I will also hand over the Transmission Hall. I only want Kuaihuo Lin and my old brothers."

A smile appeared on the corner of Sha Feiying's mouth.

Su Xin had finally compromised. He had known that Su Xin would likely compromise.

Although Su Xin had always given the impression of being bold and even reckless, he was actually very intelligent.

Last time, he could seek help from Tie Wuqing after killing Meng Chong, but this time it was an internal matter of the gang. If Su Xin didn't listen to the leader's orders, how could Tie Wuqing stand up and speak?

Although Su Xin had added a few conditions, they were not significant to Sha Feiying.

The monthly dividends from Kuaihuo Lin were substantial, but they were not important to him as the leader.

The nearly five hundred gang members under Su Xin were his loyal followers, and he couldn't control them.

After Su Xin killed Meng Chong, they had all chosen to stay. These people were not under his command as the leader, so he might as well leave them to Su Xin.

"Agreed. We will follow what Su Hall Leader has said. The same applies to everyone else. I, Sha Feiying, am not unreasonable. Everyone can retain some subordinates and a small territory.

I will not touch the subordinates of the Punishment Hall, but from now on, the Punishment Hall will only have the right to supervise, not to punish. Any punishment must be reported to the gang.

The Charity Hall will also be the same. Any financial income or expenditure must be approved by the gang.

The War Hall can only be mobilized with the joint approval of myself and Hall Leader Lin.

As for the other major heads, each can retain ten subordinates and a street territory. The rest will be returned to the gang."

Sha Feiying waved his hand and announced the decision, making everyone present look extremely displeased, especially Zhuang Li and Dong Chengwu.

Although Sha Feiying had not taken away all their subordinates, he had stripped them of their power.

Without the right to punish, the Punishment Hall was just a shell. What kind of Punishment Hall was that?

The Charity Hall had been effectively neutered by Sha Feiying. Every financial transaction needed approval from the gang, so they wouldn't be able to make any money from it.

Su Xin's compromise was unexpected by Dong Chengwu and the others. They had thought that given Su Xin's character, he would definitely clash with Sha Feiying. They never expected him to back down and give up the large Yongle Fang.

With the strongest of the four hall leaders, Su Xin, having compromised, what could they do? They could only obediently hand over their power.

Sha Feiying was in a great mood. He hadn't expected today's events to go so smoothly. A few words had resolved everything, and he had been prepared for a bloody battle.

Having successfully reclaimed the power under his control, the next step was to bring his son to the forefront.

Sha Feiying stepped forward with Sha Yuandong and said, "Yuandong has grown up under everyone's watch. The future of the Feiying Gang will naturally be in his hands, so I have decided to let Yuandong take charge of the gang, Shunyi Fang, and the Punishment Hall."

At this moment, Sha Yuandong suddenly said, "Father, I want to take charge of Yongle Fang and the Transmission Hall."

Sha Feiying frowned. Yongle Fang and the Transmission Hall were originally Su Xin's territories. Now, after he had just handed them over, he was giving them to his son, which was quite embarrassing. Would this make Su Xin angry and cause a conflict?

The best outcome for Sha Feiying was to reclaim all the power without a fight. Now, with Sha Yuandong's sudden move, he was afraid that it might anger Su Xin and cause more trouble.

Sha Feiying was also puzzled. His son had no grudge against Su Xin in the past. Why would he suddenly jump out to challenge Su Xin in this situation?

PS: Thank you to the readers who have supported me: Xingchen Ye Ying 1, Funing Yang Shuo, Bu'aihe Fenda, Wusuoyinmai, Fengsheng Zhengsheng, Wutie Dashen 19, 5Lookingfo, Yige Dengsi de Fanren, Jidu Nolijuli.

Another PS: Recently, some readers have asked if the protagonist's sister will be a burden to him. I can clearly answer: no. The cliché plot where the protagonist's opponent can't defeat him and resorts to threatening his sister will not happen.

The future plot will make reasonable arrangements for Xin'er and will involve a significant storyline, all of which have been planned in the outline. I won't write a character who is useless from start to finish.
