However, the shopkeeper was already terrified. His eyes were wide open, and he stared in horror at the stack of banknotes in his hand. His hands, which were holding the money, trembled uncontrollably.
Although Du Guanghe had just managed to get the money back, there was no doubt that they had thoroughly offended the infamous Donglian Society.
These guys are not to be trifled with. Du Guanghe and the others might be able to pack up and leave, but what about the one left behind?
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's heart sank to the bottom, because he knew that what awaited him next was the crazy revenge of the Donglian Society.
"You'd better leave quickly! If you wait until their boss arrives, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!"
Even knowing that he had gotten himself into huge trouble, the kind-hearted shopkeeper couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
Du Guanghe, however, appeared much calmer. He stared intently at the few who had just been so arrogant and domineering, and commanded in an unquestionable tone:
"You guys go and fetch your boss over here right now!"
Upon hearing this, the group was stunned for a moment, then, as if waking from a dream, they hurriedly scrambled to their feet.
They were all hunched over, looking flustered, and ran out the door like startled rabbits.
The guy named A Biao didn't forget to utter some threats:
"Let me go! When our boss arrives, we'll see how you clean up this mess. You'll be in for a world of hurt!"
However, Du Guanghe paid no attention to the threat and even responded with a cold snort.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ah Biao hard with lightning speed.
With a muffled thud, poor Ah Biao was instantly knocked dizzy and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this, Du Guanghe casually withdrew his foot, then turned around leisurely, strode to the table, and bowed slightly to He Yuzhu, saying:
"Young Master, the matter has been taken care of."
He Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction and gestured for Du Guanghe to sit down.
Seeing the three men's confident and composed demeanor, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. However, he quickly thanked them and promptly replaced the tea set with a more exquisite and beautiful one.
Then, he carefully took out some of his treasured top-quality tea and fragrant pastries from the cabinet.
Meanwhile, the guests at other tables, witnessing what seemed like an impending conflict, hurriedly got up, paid their bills, and left like startled birds.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling teahouse became deserted. Apart from the manager, Du Guang and his two companions, and the uninvited guests who were about to arrive, there was no one else in sight.
At this moment, the shopkeeper stood alone behind the counter, pacing around anxiously like an ant on a hot pan, sighing incessantly.
He didn't have much hope for Du Guang and the other two.
After all, of the three people in front of them, the older one was already quite old and frail, the younger one was still a bit immature, and the pretty young girl among them looked like she couldn't even kill a chicken.
Although it was said that these three people knew some martial arts, they spent their days hanging out in various martial arts schools, and fighting was commonplace for them. Their ruthlessness and experience were far beyond what ordinary martial arts practitioners could withstand!
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door, and someone shouted:
"They're here! Golden Tooth Tang is here with his men!"
Before the words had even faded, a group of men stormed into the teahouse. The leader, a man with a face full of scars and a gleaming gold false tooth, was none other than the infamous Gold Tooth Tang.
Chapter 425 Golden Tooth Tang
Golden Tooth Tang looked incredibly imposing, as if the whole world trembled beneath his feet.
The more than 20 henchmen following behind him all had fierce eyes and gripped their gleaming machetes tightly in their hands. The blades flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if they could splatter blood at any moment.
They walked with brisk and powerful strides, each step seeming to tread on people's hearts, causing pedestrians on the street to tremble with fear, as if they had seen a plague god, and hurriedly retreating, afraid of provoking these fierce and evil spirits.
Before long, they arrived in a large entourage in front of the bustling teahouse.
Tang with golden teeth swaggered in and immediately spotted Ah Biao lying on the ground.
Tang with gold teeth was slightly taken aback, then slowly turned his face, which was covered in gold teeth, and stared intently at He Yuzhu and the other two.
He Yuzhu seemed oblivious to their arrival, sitting there leisurely, sipping his tea slowly, his expression relaxed and carefree, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
Du Weixiang, standing beside him, would occasionally pick up a small pastry, pluck it with her slender fingers, and gently put it into He Yuzhu's mouth, a gentle smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Du Guanghe leisurely ate sunflower seeds, showing no panic or fear whatsoever at the sight of the more than 20 people who rushed in.
As Jin Ya Tang watched this scene, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if the three people in front of him were not ordinary people, but rather powerful dragons hidden in the shadows.
But he was a ruthless man after all, and he quickly put the thought out of his mind. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he strode arrogantly to the table.
He snorted and stared down at them, seemingly waiting for them to give him a satisfactory answer.
The three men stormed in, looking as if they intended to raze the place to the ground. Although Golden Tooth Tang was somewhat puzzled, he calmly asked:
"What brings you three here today?"
One of them pointed at him arrogantly and said, "So you're the boss of the East Union Society?"
Golden Tooth Tang carefully sized up the newcomer, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, before nodding.
“That’s right, this whole street is my territory.”
"From now on, I will be in charge of everything here."
Upon hearing this, Tang with the golden teeth widened his eyes in disbelief and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"what?"
Before he could react, Du Guanghe had already given him no chance to speak. He sat there quietly, like a steady mountain, but the next moment he suddenly stood up like a cheetah and landed in the crowd with a light leap.
Upon seeing this, the more than 20 thugs wielding machetes were terrified and instinctively raised their machetes to attack Du Guanghe, as if they wanted to chop him into mincemeat.
However, Du Guanghe was not about to sit idly by. He took the initiative and, with his agility and extraordinary courage, seized a machete and kicked one of the thugs away. The force was so great that the thug flew far away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.
Then, Du Guanghe, like a ferocious beast, fought from east to west, his blade flashing and blood splattering wherever he went; from south to north, every move he made was thunderous and chilling.
In the blink of an eye, the more than 20 arrogant men wielding machetes were all cut down and fell to the ground, slumped like mud, struggling in pain. Their machetes fell to the ground, and they let out mournful howls, as if telling the story of their tragic fate.
At this moment, Du Guanghe stood amidst a pool of blood, his eyes revealing an indescribable majesty, as if proclaiming his rule to everyone.
In the midst of the bustling crowd and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Du Guanghe seemed to possess a unique restraint and rationality. He did not easily unleash his deadly move, nor did he use his sharp blade.
He simply flipped the heavy machete over and used the thick back of the blade to strike those who tried to provoke him.
This action was like a delicate game of strategy; he skillfully balanced the force and measure, demonstrating his authority and strength while avoiding leaving everyone covered in blood.
In the blink of an eye, as if everything had happened so quickly and silently, all his men were easily knocked to the ground as if by magic.
This scene truly widened Gold Tooth Tang's eyes, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had witnessed some incredible miracle.
It's worth noting that Central is the most bustling area in Hong Kong, a place teeming with traffic, teeming with activity, and brimming with endless business opportunities and vitality.
Although this area in Wan Chai is right next to Central, it is not actually that close, especially since this area is located in a corner of Wan Chai and cannot be considered a truly bustling place.
As a result, there isn't as much profit to be made here, and the competition is far less intense than in Central. Therefore, people living here lead relatively peaceful lives, without the constant worry of conflict and strife.
Normally, even if there are some powerful outsiders or those scoundrels with ulterior motives who want to rise to power, they may act arrogantly and domineeringly in other places, but they would never easily come to this seemingly ordinary place.
However, the scene before them and the way the other side was acting clearly indicated that they were there to plant a flag and demonstrate their power!
Strangely, the two sides seemed to have no grudges against each other, and they both acted with a certain degree of restraint, merely knocking people to the ground without actually injuring anyone.
The reasons behind this are self-evident and sufficient to explain many issues.
"Three heroes, are you planning to plant your flag here?"
Tang's tone revealed a hint of doubt and unease, as if he was somewhat confused about what was about to happen.
Du Guanghe frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and continued to ask:
"Do these five leaders usually act independently? Are there any conflicts or alliances between them?"
While looking at the map, He Yuzhu said thoughtfully:
"If there's no conflict between them, that's fine. But if there is, then it'll be troublesome. We need to prepare in advance."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped various areas on the map with his finger, as if sketching out a complex distribution of power in his mind.
He Yuzhu then turned to look at Jin Ya Tang and asked in a slightly serious tone:
"What's the quality of the men under these bosses? Are there any particularly skilled thugs or anything like that?"
Golden Tooth Tang thought carefully for a moment, then slowly said:
"Well... as far as I know, every boss has a few capable fighters under him, but there aren't many who are particularly outstanding. Most of them are just there to make a living."
He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, secretly calculating how to deal with the five bosses and their subordinates.
He knew that to gain a foothold in this territory, he had to be thoroughly familiar with these conditions and could not afford to be careless in the slightest. So, he picked up the map again and began to study it carefully.
The newspaper office was located in a rather remote location, seemingly isolated from the bustling world.
Behind that stood a huge graveyard, and in the surrounding streets, there were only a handful of six gang leaders operating in the area.
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, a determined look flashing in his eyes, and said:
“I don’t want to deal with those shady characters further away. Old Du, I’ll trouble you to take this opportunity to clean up these remaining five people and consolidate their territories so we can establish our own Guanghe Society.”
Upon hearing this, Lao Du Guanghe readily agreed, a hearty smile spreading across his face, as if he could already envision the glorious future of Guanghe Society.
Seeing how decisive and efficient they were, Tang with the golden teeth couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament.
He knew full well that this group was coming with great force, intending to seize territory and establish their dominance here.
This one street alone seemed too small to them; their ambitions clearly went beyond that, aiming to sweep through all the surrounding areas and continuously expand their sphere of influence.
