Chapter 63

Shayuandong and Su Xin had no grudges, and they had never even spoken a word to each other before.

Today, Shayuandong publicly seized Su Xin's territory and position because he was jealous of Su Xin.

Humans have seven deadly sins, and envy is one of them.

Even a sage would not dare to say that they had never felt envy in their life, let alone Shayuandong.

Originally, Shayuandong did not feel much about Su Xin's achievements.

In his mind, no matter how outstanding Su Xin was, and no matter how much territory he conquered, he was just a dog raised by the Sha family. Was there any need for him to envy a dog under his command?

But recently, Sha Feiyang had been constantly talking about Su Xin, saying that if he could have a fraction of Su Xin's strength, he wouldn't have to worry about so many things.

This made Shayuandong very unhappy.

Su Xin was just a dog raised by the family. If he could manage Yongle Fang, why couldn't he? If Su Xin could establish the Transmission Hall, why couldn't he take it over?

Because he was不服气 (unwilling to accept it), he decided to seize Su Xin's territory and position, just to show his father that he was no worse than Su Xin!

At this moment, the meeting hall was silent, and everyone, including Dong Chengwu, was looking at Su Xin.

They had thought there was no turning back, but unexpectedly, Shayuandong stepped in to help them.

After being slapped in the face like that, could Su Xin still tolerate it?

Unfortunately, Su Xin disappointed them. Facing Shayuandong's provocative gaze, Su Xin seemed not to notice and remained calm, sitting in his chair.

Sha Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief. To prevent any further delays, he said directly, "Everyone, go back and prepare. The handover must be completed within three days."

Seeing no chance, everyone left with resentment and dissatisfaction.

Su Xin also waved his hand, signaling Li Hua and Huang Bingcheng to leave.

After leaving the main hall, Huang Bingcheng, who had been holding back, angrily said, "What the hell is the boss thinking? Why should we return the territory we worked so hard to conquer to the gang?

What is this? Killing the donkey after it has done its work? No! Killing the dog after the rabbit is dead? No!"

Su Xin patted his shoulder, "Enough, stop showing off your limited vocabulary. I know what you mean."

"Boss, if you know, why didn't you oppose it on the spot? If it comes to the worst, we can leave the Flying Eagle Gang. If they don't want us, someone else will!"

Li Hua also looked at Su Xin with a puzzled expression, clearly thinking the same as Huang Bingcheng.

Although they had not been with Su Xin for long, they knew that their boss was not the type to accept things passively.

A faint smile appeared on Su Xin's lips, "Leaving the Flying Eagle Gang? Why should we leave? If we really left, wouldn't all the reputation we built up for establishing the Transmission Hall be wasted?

Don't worry. By giving up the territory and the hall today, we will gain more in the future.

There's a saying: 'See him build his grand mansion, see him entertain his guests, see his mansion fall.'

We will just watch, and we don't need to do anything. Some things they can't take away."

Although Li Hua and Huang Bingcheng still didn't fully understand Su Xin's words, seeing their boss so confident, they felt reassured.

On the way back to the hall, a system voice suddenly sounded in Su Xin's mind.

"Side mission activated: A man without venom is not a true man. Mission explanation: A petty mind is not that of a gentleman, and a man without venom is not a true man! If someone offends me, I will repay them tenfold! Kill Sha Feiyang and Shayuandong within three months.

Accept the mission: Success rewards one intermediate draw and 300 villain points. Failure deducts 300 villain points and one intermediate draw. If the intermediate draw is insufficient, the deduction will be made from the villain points.

Decline the mission: No reward, no penalty.

Please choose whether to accept the side mission."

This was the first time Su Xin had received a side mission.

Although the reward for the side mission was not as generous as the main mission, the penalty for failure was smaller. The reward and penalty were proportional, and there was the option to decline, giving more freedom of choice.

"Accept," Su Xin said without hesitation.

If it were in the past, Su Xin would not have accepted this side mission.

Sha Feiyang was a powerful figure with great innate abilities and the leader of the gang. Killing him within three months would be a task with a failure rate of over 50%, and even Su Xin, with his confidence, would not accept it.

But now, things were different. Sha Feiyang's so-called centralization reform was, in Su Xin's view, a path to self-destruction.

If Sha Feiyang had truly been thinking about the Flying Eagle Gang and gradually merged the forces within the gang, starting a centralized system, Su Xin would have had no way to counter him.

But unfortunately, Sha Feiyang, in order to pass the Flying Eagle Gang to his son, forcibly stripped the power from the major heads and hall masters, treating them like dogs. When dogs are cornered, they will also fight back.

Just as Su Xin had told Huang Bingcheng, "See him build his grand mansion, see him entertain his guests, see his mansion fall."

In the early stages, Su Xin did not plan to act. He just needed to wait for the conflicts to intensify, and then a small spark would ignite the situation.

Apart from the nearly 500 core gang members, after becoming the hall master of the Transmission Hall, Su Xin had also recruited nearly 2,000 more members.

This time, Su Xin did not conduct any special screening. As long as they met the basic requirements of a gang member, he accepted them all, and their monthly pay was only one and a half taels.

Even so, many people were eager to join Su Xin's ranks.

One and a half taels per month was considered high in the entire Changning Prefecture. Following some stingy major heads, they might not even get one tael per month.

After reorganizing these people, three days later, Shayuandong arrived with his men to take over Yongle Fang and the Transmission Hall.

Accompanying Shayuandong was one of the major heads, Xu Chang. This person had always been low-key among the thirteen major heads, but today, he proved to be the most slippery.

His power had been taken back by the boss, and he was unwilling to retire. His only option was to follow Shayuandong and serve as a nominal major head under him.

Although this was not as good as his previous life as a local tyrant, it was better than retiring.

Shayuandong, being too young and inexperienced in gang affairs, needed someone like Xu Chang to advise him, so Sha Feiyang naturally allowed him to stay by Shayuandong's side.

"Junior Boss, here is the register of Yongle Fang and this month's earnings."

Su Xin handed over the register that Huang Bingcheng had prepared in three days, but Shayuandong only grunted and had his men take it.

Su Xin was not bothered by this and just smiled, turning to leave.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Shayuandong's words were stuck in his throat, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Wait!"

Su Xin turned around, "Junior Boss, do you have any further instructions?"

Shayuandong said coldly, "Su Xin, it must feel bad to work for others, right? You've lost such a large territory, and the Transmission Hall you built is now in my hands. Don't you hate me?"

A smile appeared on Su Xin's lips, as if mocking, "Junior Boss, you're joking. The territory and the hall belong to the gang. It's only right that they be taken back. Why should I hate you?"

Shayuandong sneered, "Alright, Su Xin, no need to pretend. Losing your territory and subordinates must hurt, but remember, everything you have is given by the Sha family. My father could give it to you, and I can take it back!

But you are a smart man. I'm giving you a chance. Follow me to reorganize the Flying Eagle Gang. In three years, I will make the Flying Eagle Gang even stronger, truly rivaling the Three Heroes Association. At that time, I will still grant you these powers."

Su Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Junior Boss, what are you talking about? I am also a hall master of the Flying Eagle Gang. Of course, I will take the responsibility to reorganize the Flying Eagle Gang."

Shayuandong snorted, "Su Xin, don't pretend to be ignorant! I mean follow me, not the Flying Eagle Gang!"

Su Xin shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with deep mockery.

Where had Shayuandong learned these tactics of intimidation and manipulation? They were laughably immature.

Taking what was his, then using intimidation and manipulation to make him work hard, and promising to return it later, expecting gratitude?

Who in the entire Flying Eagle Gang, except for someone like Xu Chang, would agree to such terms? Do they think everyone is a fool?

Seeing Shayuandong's behavior, Su Xin was even more convinced of his previous thoughts.

In essence, Shayuandong was not much better than Wei Feng of the Green Bamboo Gang. They were both arrogant and incompetent, with grand ambitions but little talent.

They thought the gang's territory was all established by their fathers, and they could easily control the large gang by relying on their fathers' legacy.

What they didn't realize was that the most important thing for a gang was not the territory, but the people managing it!

Sha Feiyang had built a grand mansion for Shayuandong, but this mansion was destined to fall.

"Ha, Junior Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Su Xin laughed and turned to leave, completely ignoring Shayuandong's face.

"Damn Su Xin! Even after losing his power, he's still so arrogant. When I become the boss, the first thing I'll do is kick him out of the Flying Eagle Gang!"

Seeing Su Xin's complete disregard for him, Shayuandong's anger grew.

Xu Chang, standing beside him, was sweating coldly. He had been so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that Su Xin would suddenly attack them.

This man was known for his boldness. He had even dared to kill the young master of the Three Heroes Association. Would he hesitate to kill the young master of the Flying Eagle Gang?

Su Xin's reputation was earned through his actions, not through the Flying Eagle Gang's background.

In Xu Chang's view, the best way to deal with someone like Su Xin was to gradually reduce his power and avoid provoking him. Shayuandong's behavior was simply asking for trouble.

Xu Chang wanted to advise, but considering Shayuandong's stubborn nature, he decided against it.
