Chaotic Martial Arts: I Have Too Many Brothers

Chapter 6 Taking Over the Territory

"If we can't hold it, we can't hold it; he's just a boxer anyway."

Lei Tang truly admired Ye Tian's skills.

But in the end, this is just someone he's just started with, completely different from those brothers who have gone through life and death with him.

"Does my brother suspect he's a spy?"

Wang Hu immediately realized what was going on.

It's common practice for gangs to send spies to each other.

"If he's a spy, we can take this opportunity to get rid of him. If not, losing territory within the gang is no small matter. You can then go and help him out; wouldn't that be a way to recruit a useful talent?"

Lei Tang also did not believe that Ye Tian could hold onto the territory in the west of the city.

But this was exactly what Lei Tang had expected.

"Wasn't it my elder brother who was trying to win them over?"

Wang Hu had no objection to Lei Tang's arrangement, but he was clearly taken aback when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"You've been with me for so many years, it's time you learned your lesson."

"With my older brother around, I just need to follow his instructions."

Wang Hu spoke the truth, and Lei Tang laughed at his words.

Although Lei Tang had many boxers under his command, Wang Hu, who had been by his side since he joined the Blackwater Gang, was the one he trusted the most. Moreover, Wang Hu was usually simple-minded and only did things according to Lei Tang's orders.

"Haha, now that I'm in charge, how can I manage without some capable people under my command?"

"Boss!"

Even Wang Hu became excited upon hearing that he could be promoted to a leader.

"But, brother, you're still young, you..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Lei Tang's face darkened; it sounded as if he were about to abdicate.

He raised his hand and slapped Wang Hu on the back of the head.

"Hehe." Wang Hu chuckled sheepishly. "I was just too excited when I heard the news."

Lei Tang didn't hide anything, he just waved.

Wang Hu, being sensible, picked up a cigarette and lit it for Lei Tang. As Lei Tang exhaled smoke, he spoke with a deep look in his eyes.

"The old hall master is getting old. I've heard that within six months at most, he'll have to step down, whether he wants to or not. That will create a vacancy for the hall master position. Do you understand what I mean?"

The old leader had four subordinates, meaning that if Lei Tang wanted to rise to power, he would have to eliminate the other three.

"clear!"

Having understood Lei Tang's meaning, Wang Hu's eyes turned fierce at that moment.

"Anyone who dares to block my path, I'll kill them."

Who says gangs are always harmonious? Gang rules forbid members from killing each other, but as long as no one finds out, who would know?

,,,

Ye Tian, ​​who had already left, was on his side.

His initially unsteady steps gradually became steady after walking a distance, and the drunkenness on his face gradually disappeared.

If someone goes out drinking alone, anyone who dares to get drunk is an idiot.

"The west side of the city."

Can't Ye Tian see that there's a problem with Lei Tang handing over the western part of the city to him? But so what if there is a problem?

Putting aside the fact that I'm new here and need my own territory, besides, if the other party can scheme, why can't I scheme too?

Before Ye Tian transmigrated, he had seen far more backstabbing and intrigue than he had in a foreign country, having managed to rise to the position of squad leader.

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps approached, and Ye Tian snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to look.

A group of ten figures were heading this way, all of them burly men like Wei Wu.

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing Ye Tian, ​​they were all filled with excitement.

"finally found you."

"Big brother!"

Ye Tian knew that the chosen reward had been achieved, resulting in a basic loyalist.

Instead of panicking, they started asking questions.

"What's the situation for you now?"

"Brother, when we fled famine and came here, it was thanks to you that we had food to eat and a chance to survive. From now on, our lives belong to you."

You've never even been to Linshui City, yet we gave you food? That's reasonable!

"Don't worry, since you've chosen to follow me, I will never treat you unfairly as long as I have food to eat."

Although they were basic loyalists rewarded by the system, Ye Tian did not treat them as completely obedient and submissive machines.

"Thank you, Brother Xie!"

All ten of them were filled with excitement, looking as if they were finally able to work for Ye Tian.

"Come on, let's call Wei Wu and the others. I'll treat you to a meal."

The group was large and impressive.

Even though there were many gang members on the street, they all instinctively moved aside when they saw this group of burly figures.

Don't be fooled by the fact that some gang members usually act all high and mighty. They might be good at bullying ordinary people, but if they encounter someone stronger than them, they'll cower in fear faster than anyone else. They're typical bullies who prey on the weak.

On the way, Ye Tian casually asked the names of these people.

"I don't have a name, just call me Ah Da, big brother!"

Ah Da? As expected, it's sloppy.

He glanced at the person next to Ah Da.

"You're not called Ah Er, are you?"

"No, my name is Wen Jiu. My older brother wants to call me A Er, so I'll call him A Er from now on."

"No need, let's just call him Wen Jiu."

At least it's not that sloppy.

Ye Tian and his group first had a good meal at a restaurant.

After resting for one night, we will set off for the west of the city tomorrow.

,,,

The area in the west of the city is not small, but the Blackwater Gang's territory here is only one street.

Ye Tian brought only Wei Wu with him to the largest restaurant on the street. Perhaps because it wasn't mealtime yet, there weren't many people inside.

"You must be Master Ye Tianye."

Not long after I entered, a scholar-like man came over.

"My name is Mei Yongning, a scholar from this area."

As he spoke, the scholar took out a blue waist token from his person.

"So it's Mr. Mei."

Seeing the cyan waist tag, Ye Tian was not surprised. Different identities would result in different waist tags. For example, after Ye Tian became a boxer, his waist tag was changed to red.

Further up, the waist badges of the leaders and hall masters are also different.

This scholar was definitely not the kind who passed the imperial examinations. Moreover, there were no imperial examinations in this world, so it was almost impossible for someone from a poor family to rise in status.

A scholar is a position within a gang, equivalent to a boxer. They are mainly responsible for managing the business, and some capable scholars can also play a role in strategizing.

"Master Ye, you're too kind. You can just call me a scholar."

After saying that, he gestured for Ye Tian to proceed.

He led the way up to the second floor.

"Boss Lei's men have already told me that this street will belong to Master Ye from now on. As long as we pay our dues on time, Boss Lei generally won't interfere with how we manage the territory."

Mei Yongning spoke with an air of scholarly refinement, showing no signs of being involved in gangs.

"How does our Blackwater Gang pay its debts?"

It's normal for gangs to hand over a percentage of the profits earned on the street. It's not like you can just take control of the street and get all the profits; gangs aren't places to give out benefits.

However, the share of contributions from each gang may vary.
