50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 815 Suspicion
After several rounds of verification, the news finally spread, and everyone who heard it initially didn't believe it.

What kind of international joke is this, that 90% of the big bosses of Hong Kong's triads are dead, or that all three major triad leaders have been killed? Anyone who believes this is a fool.

Unfortunately, whether those who hear it believe it or not, the truth is there.

The henchmen on the periphery eventually managed to contact the big boss who remained in the gang and pass on this lame-sounding message.

Although none of the remaining leaders believed the news, it was a fact that they could no longer contact the gang leader and others.

In the end, the bigwigs who stayed behind also rushed to the Victoria Harbour warehouse, just to see the horrific scene with their own eyes.

When they came out of Warehouse C, everyone who had been inside was terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

Why did ancient people "cast mounds of corpses to deter disobedience" after a war? It was simply because such mountains of corpses were too terrifying.

Everyone who has seen it is haunted by nightmares, and it's not uncommon for the timid to be scared to death.

In times of war, human life is cheap, and people are much more adaptable than modern people. People back then couldn't bear it, and people in modern society are even less able to withstand seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Sun Zhiwei was on the balcony of the Peninsula Hotel, drinking and looking at the port warehouse area not far away.

When he saw the gang leaders who had just arrived, their faces as pale as corpses, he nodded in satisfaction.

Logically, in this situation, the next step should be to call the police to cover it up; that's what gangs love to do these days.

But this time, to Sun Zhiwei's surprise, the bigwigs of the three major gangs who stayed behind collectively spent a lot of money to send people into the warehouse to clean up the scene.

After a moment's thought, Sun Zhiwei understood their intentions.

We really can't call the police this time. Even if we do, it won't be easy for them to handle, and it might even escalate the situation. Thousands of people have died in one incident; this is a huge burden that even the Governor of Hong Kong couldn't bear.

This would not only offend the police, but also the mastermind behind it all, and then no one would be able to extricate themselves from the mess.

On the contrary, the most appropriate way to handle the situation was for them to admit defeat, take the initiative to clean up the scene, and act as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the remaining big shots were so obedient and not going too far, Sun Zhiwei did not make any further moves against them.

After all, the three major gangs have hundreds of thousands of members, although most of the most valiant members have been piled up on that mountain of corpses along with the leader.

If he were to clean up all the remaining bigwigs, he could definitely turn the three major gangs into a disorganized mess.

But doing so would not only fail to calm down the triads on Hong Kong Island, but would instead push the entire underground society ecosystem of Hong Kong Island into the Warring States period.

Because as long as the members of the gang don't disappear and the underground interests don't disappear, ambitious people will naturally start to conquer the world again.

At that time, the nights on Hong Kong Island will become a battlefield, which will have a significant impact on the lives of Hong Kong Island residents.

As long as the foreigners don't leave Hong Kong Island, the gangs on Hong Kong Island will not disappear. This is determined by objective factors that he cannot change.

But if we can give these bastards a good thrashing, the social environment can be improved.

The goal of deterrence has been achieved, and a few bigwigs are still left to maintain the situation. This is the best state that can be achieved right now.

If these people still don't know how to restrain themselves, it wouldn't be difficult for him to come back and clean up again when he has time. In fact, after seeing the mountain of corpses in the warehouse, these remaining big shots were genuinely terrified.

They didn't know how that killing god managed to do it; there were over 1000 people! Even killing 1000 pigs would take half a day.

Could a human do that? Impossible, unless it was done by a ghost or a god.

In particular, they all knew that the three major gangs had come here specifically for a temple treasure.

They were planning to rob a treasure involving a temple, and it's hard to say whether they had offended some kind of deity.

Hong Kong Island is a very interesting place. It has a relatively developed economy and a high level of culture, especially in preserving a lot of cultural heritage that came from the mainland after World War II.

But it is precisely for this reason that people on Hong Kong Island are very superstitious about gods and ghosts, and theories of luck and feng shui.

Even police stations have shrines to Guan Yu. Every day when officers come to work, even if they forget to clock in, they remember to offer incense to Guan Yu.

Because in everyone's perception, front-line police officers need to carry guns every time they go on a mission, and their lives are always in danger. They are also like warriors who fight on the battlefield.

Even during the colonial period, many foreign police officers joined in worshipping Guan Gong.

However, there are certain rules to follow when worshipping Guan Gong. Merchants worship those in gold robes, gangs worship those in red robes, and police officers worship those in green robes, because green is said to represent "wood" in the Five Elements, symbolizing strength, justice, and peace.

On Hong Kong Island, not only Guan Gong, but also other deities are worshipped.

Statistics show that Hong Kong Island, such a small place, has more than 600 temples, and each one is very popular with worshippers, which shows what the social atmosphere is like on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, when these bigwigs couldn't figure out the truth about the massacre, they naturally thought of ghosts and gods.

Let it be ghosts and spirits, as long as the goal is achieved.

After that, he basically had nothing to do on Hong Kong Island, as Christie's would soon be holding an exhibition and promotional event for the auction items.

The exhibition also includes the golden elephant that he plans to take with him back to New York after the exhibition ends.

Just in the last few days, he received a message from Subi Island that, after several months of development, a significant change was beginning to occur in Java.

A number of economically developed large cities have begun to unite with surrounding cities to form "city self-governance alliances," and many places have begun to form local guard teams.

This is a very clear political signal, indicating that the various large islands are beginning to act independently.

When Prabowo and Colonel Latif were still in power, although the regions obeyed orders but not propaganda, there was at least a nominal Javanese government.

But now Jakarta, the capital of Java, has been reduced to ruins, and no one of high standing has stepped forward to clean up the mess. The large island of Java is clearly beginning to show signs of fragmentation.

The most obvious change is the establishment of a city guard. With military power, things change, and ambitions that were not originally present can be cultivated.

Java, an archipelago nation forcibly united by strongmen, would quickly revert to its original state if the suppression of powerful figures were suddenly removed.
