Chapter 473, Section 54: Planting the Flag in Civilization

Sitting in the dessert shop, Ji Mi felt his pager vibrate twice. He took it off, went to the front desk, and used the shop's landline to call the paging service and received Huo Gou's message.

"Get up and get to work!"

"It's Lao Fu!"

As Sheng Ge mentioned before, the big and small gangsters in Yau Ma Tei will definitely want a share of the pie, but it's unclear who the idiot who will step forward is.

So you have to wait in a convenient location, and once you receive the letter, you go and plant the flag.

If Lao Fu is the one who takes the lead in Fengtian, then let's take over Fengtian's territory, starting with half a street.

Ji Mi smiled. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Old Fu, the boss of the club, understood this principle. He was prepared to sacrifice an outdated thug so that Old Fu could enter the Dragon Palace Nightclub.

This top-tier nightclub, which was established as one of the four major nightclubs in Hong Kong, has been featured in Japanese and Korean entertainment magazines. Japanese and Korean tourists who want to experience the charm of the East will definitely come to join in the fun. Moreover, Dragon Palace Nightclub also has unlimited fighting competitions.

The losses suffered at the Dragon Palace Nightclub must be made up for elsewhere.

Ji Mi thought about it for a long time before she realized that these schemes and tricks could not be taught by others; she had to figure them out herself.

The staff at the dessert shop all stood up. McCaw was in charge of the equipment. He pulled out a basket with a straw in his mouth, which was full of thick baseball bats he had bought from a sporting goods store in Sham Shui Po.

Planting flags and making big moves are taboo because of the risk of death. The gangs maintain a tacit understanding among themselves. The gangs' financial resources come from top to bottom, but their strength comes from bottom to top.

A man died while the gang leader was in charge, and he couldn't suppress the matter any longer; he had to give his underlings an explanation.

In addition, since someone has died, the police will not let it go. The good old days of "cooking pork alive" are over. Once the CID and the anti-triad unit open a case, they will relentlessly pursue it. In order to protect their business, the triads will definitely have to hand over the person.

Therefore, a thicker baseball bat is the most suitable; it hurts when you hit someone, but it won't cause too much damage.

The men sitting in the dessert shop were mostly tough guys recruited by Ji Mi. They were all dressed in black shirts and jeans, with white gloves on their hands. They stood up in an orderly fashion and grabbed the thick baseball bats from the baskets.

There was transparent tape on each table. These old bastards would wet their white gloves with mineral water and then wrap their hands with transparent tape to prevent them from accidentally knocking their weapons away while they were working.

McCaw took out the black bag he had prepared beforehand, ripped it open, and pulled out a bundle of red snapper. One bundle cost a thousand dollars, and each person could have two bundles.

This is the appearance fee. If something happens, Jimi will also have to pay for medical expenses and resettlement expenses. Not a penny less.

Even the most irresponsible gangsters wouldn't skimp on this.

Having received the money and tidied up their gear, the Water Room 49s walked past Jimmy, all nodding to their boss.

The dessert shop, which was packed with people just three minutes ago, is now only left with the shop assistants cleaning up.

"Big guy!"

McCaw placed his boss's favorite katana on the counter as a reminder that it was time to make a move.

Ji Mi glanced at the wall clock, saw that it was almost time, nodded, took out a neatly folded stack of bills from his pocket, counted out one bill, threw it on the counter, slung his samurai sword over his shoulder, and walked out of the dessert shop.

"Brother Jimi!"

"Big guy!"

"."

More than two hundred Shui Fong 49s stood on the street, their blue lanterns adding to their imposing presence. When they saw Jimmy carrying a samurai sword come out, they all greeted him in unison.

"Do it!"

At the age of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), Ji Mi was also dizzy from being called "big boss" repeatedly. He held his samurai sword horizontally forward and beckoned the henchmen behind him to move forward.

Shuifang's Sijiu and Lan Deng followed behind Ji Mi, heading together towards the Wenmingli entertainment venue in Fengtian.

The large and powerful gang of thugs from Shui Fong did not follow the rules by using pedestrian crossings or overpasses, but instead marched in a grand procession down the main road.

All the passing cars stopped discreetly, no one daring to honk, watching the gang of thugs who were going to plant their flags leave.

After crossing the intersection, we arrived at Wenmingli, north of Temple Street. Hei Ahu had arrived earlier, and the two groups together numbered three or four hundred people.

Wenmingli is located north of Temple Street. It mainly consists of roadside stalls, night markets, and fruit stalls. Because it is close to Temple Street MRT station, it has a particularly high flow of people.

The stall owners had already noticed something was wrong with Lao Fu's smuggling business and sent someone to inform Lao Fu's hired help.

Most of the 49ers from the entertainment district went to Shanghai Street with Fengtian to cause trouble. The remaining 49ers, numbering only a dozen or so, were so weak in the knees when they saw the three or four hundred men from the water house that they could barely stand.

"Step in, I want to plant a flag in civilization!"

The dragon is charging in, the advantage is on my side! It's not easy to lose!

With a wave of his hand, Jimmy sent three or four hundred men rushing out towards Lao Fu's thugs.

The Lao Fu gang, consisting of only a dozen or so men, made a simple choice: turn around and run.

Ji Mi and Hei A Hu have fought countless battles with Lao Fu's gang. Everyone knows perfectly well where Lao Fu's shop is in Wenmingli and where the brothel in Fengtian is.

As I always say, there are no secrets in the martial arts world!
The place in Fengtian is called Lanxin Hotel, which is ostensibly a day hotel, but secretly a chicken stall and horse ranch.

McCaw, wielding a thick baseball bat, took the lead and smashed the glass door of the Lanxin Hotel with a single blow.

"what"

The receptionist covered her head, squatted down, and screamed in shock.

McCaw knocked a few more times, stepped inside, and smashed the glass reception desk with a stick, shattering it to pieces. Hearing the commotion upstairs, Old Fu, the stable boy, rushed down, but seeing the lobby full of people from the water room, he ran back down the stairs.

"Damn! Old Fu is a spineless coward."

"Plant the flag in the water room, everyone else get out of here!"

"Damn it!"

"Smash it for me!"

"You get out of here too!"

McCaw's henchmen chased after the fleeing old groom, but McCaw, who never hits women, simply pointed his baseball bat outwards and told the receptionist to get lost.

The waitresses are not members of the gang, because these days, gangsters only work as prostitutes. After all, nightclubs pay more than gangsters, and the bosses don't have to skin them alive.

The waiter quickly left, leaving the stage to the gangsters in the water room.

McCaw had his underlings guard the main entrance, while he himself went up the stairs to the second floor.

Old Fu's coachman had been beaten into a pulp, and several of his men, Lantern, were squatting by the wall, all with injuries on their faces, no longer resisting.

After McCaw went up to the second floor, he ignored the bastards and instead took a baseball bat and knocked on each room, telling the lecherous guys inside to get out and that he wouldn't have to pay for sex this time.

The lewd guys, their fun interrupted, came out cursing and swearing, completely unconcerned about the gangsters from the water room wielding sharp weapons.

The horse ranch will still be open, just with a different triad group now in charge. Business will still depend on the lewd men present.

Unless someone is completely out of their mind, they wouldn't intentionally offend the big spender present.

"Uncles, bosses, the boss has something to do and the renovation will take three days."

"Today's score is on me, McCaw. Everyone, please come this way!"

When McCaw saw the perverts come out, he slung his baseball bat over his shoulder and started greeting them.

The henchmen standing to the side opened their backpacks and took out pre-prepared camel hookahs, one pack for each of them.

The perverts got free sex and even a pack of good cigarettes, so they were naturally satisfied and left.

The owner of Malan also came out of his office. Seeing the mess on the second floor, he didn't get angry. Instead, he walked up to McCaw, took out a cigarette, and offered one to him.

"The water room was set up, and the renovation took three days. Boss, all your losses will be blamed on my boss, Brother Jimi."

The boss knew the rule of planting the flag for three days. He used a lighter to light McCaw's cigarette and said with a smile, "The girls in my Malan are all provided by Lao Fu, and the profits are split 30/70 with Fengtian."

"I've never dealt with the water room before, could you please give me some pointers so I don't say anything inappropriate!"

McCaw blew a smoke ring and said with a smile, "The Malan girls' gang will help, and we also have connections with the North girls, the Annam girls, the Japanese girls, the Russian girls, and the water girls."

"We'll take as many water crews as Lao Fu wants, and we'll send in as many as Lao Fu can. We won't ask for an exorbitant amount or make things difficult for you, Boss!"

"This is my boss's business card. Call him if you need anything."

"Just follow the rules of the trade," the owner of Lanxin Hotel nodded in satisfaction, and told all the girls from Malan to go take a bath and finish their work.

Once the situation in Fengtian was resolved, Lao Fu's army suffered a complete and utter defeat.

Even so, Ji Mi did not stop. He led his men to smash up shops one by one, and beat up Lao Fu's thugs without any mercy.

Temple Street is the core territory of Lao Fu. Lao Fu's red stick Shuang Long, who is in charge of Ashley Road, quickly got wind of it. He immediately contacted the boss, Goose Boy En, and then gathered his men to attack Wenming Lane.

But when Shuanglong arrived at Wenmingli, his mouth tasted bitter and he felt very regretful. He had been thinking about Wenmingli for a long time. It was close to the subway station, and even selling rotten tomatoes and sweet potatoes could make him a lot of money.

I talked to Fengtian for a long time, but this scoundrel didn't care about any brotherhood and wouldn't give me a single penny.

Fuck his mother!

Now that the water room has crossed the line, if I push the water room back, I can rightfully step into civilization.

The ideal was lofty, but the reality was harsh. The water room came prepared this time, with at least three hundred people in a dark mass. The hundred or so people behind them simply couldn't hold on.

"Fuck your mother, you little devil! Trying to cross the line while Ah Tin's not around? Everyone says you're the king of Yau Ma Tei, I'll collect your corpse tonight!"

Despite feeling bitter inside, Shuanglong couldn't lose face. Holding a fire axe, she spat on the ground and loudly cursed at Ji Mi across from her.

"Boss, what do we do?"

McCaw saw Old Fry and was eager to try, but he couldn't move without Jimmy's help.

"What to do? Of course, we'll just keep cutting them down!"

"I'm here tonight to plant my flag. Anyone who gets in my way will be shot down!"

"Do it!"

Ji Mi could count, and with a quick glance, he noticed that there weren't many people on the opposite side of Shuanglong. The chance to beat someone when they were down was extremely slim, so of course he couldn't miss it.
