Chapter 325 Bucky's Last Stand
Hung Hing Gathering Hall.

It's another monthly gathering.

Jiang Tianyang looked at the people below, tapped the table, and said:

"We're all here, let's start the meeting now."

Everyone couldn't help but sit up straight.

After several months, Jiang Tianyang had completely taken control of Hung Hing.

His succession to Hung Hing was a model of succession from brother to brother, and with the support of people like Leung Kwan, Wong To, and Han Bin, there was basically no one who disagreed with him, except for a few people.

Jiang Tianyang addressed the crowd:

"The current economic climate is not good, and banks can no longer be trusted."

"At least, we can't trust it now."

"We need to plan ahead."

"We can put our business on hold for a while."

"Tell my men to go out into the streets and collect debts!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Tianyang then said:
"When we're out in the game, we have to be loyal and righteous."

"The brothers were able to get ahead because of the support of their underlings."

"If our brothers can't even afford to eat, who would want to follow you?"

"What's a phrase that Brother Kun often says?"

Sha Qiang shouted:
"When you're out in the game, it's all about making money!"

Jiang Tianyang smiled and pointed at him:
"Ah Qiang is right. The purpose of being out in the world is to make money."

"We are now slowly beginning to transform and develop into a company."

"This is the general trend. Any gang in the underworld that doesn't participate will be eliminated."

"We, Hung Hing, must be at the forefront."

"Everything was fine before."

"Kowloon Motor Bus Company, cinemas, convenience stores..."

"The brothers' wallets are getting fuller every day."

"Who would have thought something like this would happen?"

"The younger brother supports the older brother, and the older brother protects the younger brother. That's the attitude of running a triad."

"If we don't stand up for our younger brothers this time, why should they risk their lives with us?"

"Listen to me."

“Each district leader should take the lead and notify all the familiar triads to organize their younger brothers to go out on the streets to collect debts.”

"Until I receive my hard-earned money."

"Any objections?"

The group looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Jiang Tianyang is a true big shot; his knowledge and experience are unmatched by others.

Of course we should listen to what he says.

However, one person raised an objection:
“Mr. Jiang, I’m not saying this is a bad thing.”

“HSBC is backed by the Duchess’s Mansion.”

"If we go to collect debts, we'll be targeted!"

Jiang Tianyang's face darkened slightly.

Everyone was surprised to see that it was Bucky.

Bucky bluntly stated:
"Mr. Jiang, Hong Kong is ultimately under the rule of foreigners."

"Isn't it wrong of us to offend the foreigners like this?"

"We're all feeling bad, aren't we?"

"No one will agree."

Bucky looked around, as if to say, "I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing this for everyone's good, I'm everyone's representative."

Yaowen shouted:

"Brother Ji, please don't speak for me. I agree with Mr. Jiang's opinion."

Sha Qiang also said:

"Brother Ji, if you have any objections, just say it yourself, don't speak for me."

Ah Niu also said:

"Brother Ji, just talk about yourself, why are you dragging us into this?"

Bucky's face stiffened:
"I'm just saying what everyone is thinking."

Yaowen mocked:

"Brother Ji, who are you talking about, 'everyone'?"

"When we speak to Lord Guan, there is nothing we cannot say to others."

"Let's see who you mean by 'everyone'?"

Bucky's face darkened:
"Yaowen, you've just become the driver, show some respect to us seniors."

"Brother Long, Brother Xin, and Liang Ma haven't said anything, but you..."

Brother Long slammed his fist on the table:
"Bucky, you can object if you want, I have no problem with it."

The pretty mom shouted:
“I agree with Yaowen’s opinion. Don’t speak for me so casually. We’re not that close.”

These two are staunch supporters of Leung Kwan's faction, so naturally they wouldn't oppose Yiu Man and his group.

Brother Xin looked at Bucky:

"Brother Ji, when do I need you to represent me?"

Bucky panicked and quickly pointed at Fatty Li, saying:

"You don't object in North Point either?"

Fat Li cursed:
"The foreigners swallowed up all our hard-earned money. Those three commissioners embezzled 80 million in one go."

"You think all the money came from Shen Daban?"

"Have you ever thought about where Shen Daban got her money?"

"Brother Ji, use your brain!"

"Don't speak for me, I don't need you to speak for me."

"Otherwise, what would I be doing as a leader?"

Yi Mian immediately said:
"Brother Ji, we don't need you to represent us."

The narrow-eyed man mocked:
“Brother Ji, it’s true that you’re a veteran of three dynasties, but in the Hall of Righteousness, it’s not about who has the higher seniority or who speaks louder.”

"Whoever is right should speak louder."

"What Jiang Sheng said was so well, but you had to come out and oppose it."

“If you disagree, then disagree. Our Juyitang allows for different opinions, but you keep calling us ‘everyone’.”

Who are you referring to as "everyone"?

"You yourself are everyone?!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Even those with narrow eyes are no longer ordinary.

Kowloon City, under his management, has become the triad's favorite den of iniquity, and also the preferred source of goods for major gold shops and jewelry stores in Hong Kong.

Those with narrow eyes are no ordinary people these days.

Bucky was sweating profusely, and he forced a dry laugh:

"It was just a casual remark, why are you getting so worked up?"

Yaowen said coldly:

"where is this place?"

"Red Flower Pavilion Gathering Hall".

"Five groups of ancestors from different generations came before him, and Guan Yu faced them directly."

"You just said something casually?"

Do you think we all have as much free time as you?

Did you ask us if we had time to chat with you?

"Jiang Sheng is our leader."

"If you disagree with some of his decisions, just say so directly. Don't drag everyone else into it all the time..."

"Gentlemen here, whom are you qualified to represent?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

represent?

Fuck your mother's representative.

The reason he climbed all the way from the blue lantern to the position of the leader was to prevent others from representing him arbitrarily, wasn't it?
Who do you think you are, to think you can represent us?

Are you kidding me?!
Bucky's face turned bright red, and he shouted:

"I'm doing this for your own good, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"Are foreigners vegetarians?"

"If we offend the foreigners, our Hung Hing is doomed."

Yaowen said coldly:

“You’re right. Hong Kong is under the rule of foreigners now, and they’re the officials.”

"Since you listen to the foreigners so much, why didn't you listen when they told you not to get involved in gangs?"

Bucky's expression froze.

Yaowen said to Jiang Tianyang:

"Mr. Jiang, I request that you thoroughly investigate Pakistan."

"This guy keeps calling people 'foreigners' this and 'foreigners' that, it's like he's wearing red shoes."

“I don’t want to sit at the same table with someone like that in a meeting.”

"He might just sell us out someday!"

Everyone nodded.

Gan Zitai said:
"The Gathering of Righteousness Hall is all about getting things done, but this guy keeps talking about foreigners. Could it be that he's already hooked up with a foreigner?"

Bucky shouted:
"slander!"

"You fucking slander me!"

"Alright!" Jiang Tianyang slammed his fist on the table. "This is the Hall of Righteousness, not a place for you to quarrel."

"If you want to argue, then argue slowly!"

"However, what you all doubt is..."

"Ayao!"

Chen Yao quickly said:
"Jiang Sheng, I'm here."

Jiang Tianyang said coldly:

"There are some things I'm too lazy to say."

"It's to save face for certain people."

"But since he couldn't wait to jump out."

"Then there's no need to save face."

Bucky immediately felt uneasy.

"Ah Yao, tell me how much we've earned this month."

Chen Yao said:

"The numbers for others are 30% higher than before."

"But some people are down by half compared to last month."

"This person's income last month was 30% lower than the month before last."

Looking closely at Bucky:

"Brother Ji, tell me, what have you been doing with the gang's money?"

Bucky roared:

"Ah Yao didn't even say who it was, and you're so sure it was me?"

The narrow-eyed man said in a cold voice:
"Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who submitted their dues on time last month but was still a third short."

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who could have submitted half the amount this month."

"You didn't actually give the money that should have been given to the gang to those foreigners, did you?"

Bucky shouted:
"You are slandering me!"

Jiang Tianyang instructed Chen Yao:

"Ah Yao, you tell us."

Chen Yao stared intently at Bucky and asked calmly:
"Brother Ji, could you please explain why the numbers are so much lower last month than this month?"

Everyone stared at Bucky.

The dinosaur's eyes gleamed with ferocity: "Brother Ji, you'd better think this through. The Thirty-Six Great Oaths of the Hongmen are waiting for you."

Bucky was sweating profusely as he shouted:
"Don't try to fool me. I know the Thirty-Six Oaths of the Hongmen better than you do!"

"I can recite it backwards!"

The dinosaur calmly looked at him.
"If that's the case, what is the content of the Sixth Oath of the Hongmen?"

Bucky stared speechlessly at the dinosaur.

Who still uses that thing these days?

The dinosaur laughed and said:
"Aren't you more familiar with the Thirty-Six Oaths than I am? Aren't you able to recite them backwards?"

"How come you can't even recite the sixth oath?"

Yaowen said sarcastically:
"Dinosaur Bro, you're putting Brother Ji in a difficult position."

"Brother Ji said he could recite it backwards and forwards. How could he possibly recite it?"

The dinosaur exclaimed in surprise:
"That makes sense."

He then turned to Bucky and said:
"Brother Ji, why don't you just memorize it backwards?"

Bucky roared:

"Who can memorize that thing?"

Yaowen said sternly:

"The Thirty-Six Oaths of the Hongmen are something that all new brothers must memorize."

"It embodies our principles of being a good person."

"This is what the master made me memorize when I was just starting out."

"It's not just about memorizing, it's also about believing."

"This is the rule!"

"You're a veteran of three reigns, don't you even know this rule?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, especially Jiang Tianyang, who secretly admired him—Kun-ge said he didn't believe in loyalty and righteousness, but his actions were quite chivalrous.

As expected, people from Kun's faction all know how to follow the rules.

Bucky found it absurd; weren't the Thirty-Six Oaths just a stepping stone? Who would believe that?

Enraged, he said:

"You keep talking about the Thirty-Six Oaths, recite them to me!"

Yaowen sneered:

"To be old and not die is to be a thief."

"Listen carefully."

"First oath: From the moment I enter the Hongmen, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your son is my nephew. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by five thunderbolts."

"second……"

Yaowen memorized it continuously.

He recited it without the slightest stumble, from beginning to end.

The way people looked at him was unusual.

To be honest, among the Thirty-Six Oaths of the Hongmen, there are no more than five people in the Juyitang who can recite them completely.

As Bucky said, this thing is just a stepping stone; nobody will actually do everything according to the vows written on it.

After all, these are old things that have been around for many years.

However, regardless of whether you act according to the Thirty-Six Oaths, once you've entered this line of work, you must have faith and reverence.

Clearly, Bucky didn't believe it, but Yaowen did.

If all you can do is memorize, you're just a bookworm, and no one will respect you.

Yaowen is different.

Since he took over Mong Kok, the area has become even more prosperous than when he was in charge.

To put it bluntly, Leung Kwan and Wong To only saw Mong Kok as a temporary measure and never intended to develop it further.

Unlike others, Yaowen, in addition to being the CEO of Qiankun Film and Television, values ​​the organization even more.

He viewed the profits of film and television companies as unstable.

Even with the various scripts left behind by Wang Dao, he felt they were all unstable.

From the initial planning stages to the release of a film, who can guarantee its success?
In contrast, the various businesses run by the triads are tangible and visible.

Therefore, his focus naturally shifted to vigorously developing the community, which is the difference between him and Leung Kwan's Wang Dao.

After his reorganization, Mong Kok's strength naturally stood out.

Yau Tsim Mong was a true unified entity, which then radiated outwards, truly connecting the other branches of Hung Hing into one.

Although Yaowen is young, no one dares to underestimate him.

Bucky stared at Yaowen in disbelief. "You're really good at memorizing things!"

Yaowen said to Jiang Tianyang:

"Mr. Jiang, everyone is doing well. It is precisely at times like these that we must be vigilant and nip problems in the bud."

"Brother Ji is a veteran of three dynasties, so we wouldn't doubt him easily."

"If he's wearing red shoes."

"Every single one of us here is here, and none of us can escape!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Pakistani Khan shouted in a loud voice, "It rains down!"

"I'm not wearing red shoes!"

boom!
Jiang Tianyang slammed his fist on the table and shouted:

"Then tell me, what's the deal with your branch's income?"

"Did you swallow it all?"

Bucky quickly said:
"Gentlemen, this is a misunderstanding!"

"It's really a misunderstanding!"

"I repaired the pier last month, so my income was lower."

Chen Yao asked:

What about last month?

Bucky said with a bitter face:

"I'm really unlucky. I'm doing business with Ma Tianshou and Brother Hua."

"Let's talk first."

"I only paid for the construction of the dock; I didn't get involved in their business."

"Of course, this dock wasn't built for nothing."

“If they use my dock for business, they will give me a portion of the money.”

"Consider yourself a molecule."

"Who would have thought..."

"Ma Tianshou was actually killed, and the murderer is still unknown."

“That bastard killed Master Ma, and I was implicated as well.”

"I spent some money to find that thing."

“Now that Ma Tianshou is dead, I’m going to kill his men and take them.”

"But it still hasn't been found."

"Then I thought, even if Ma Tianshou is dead, his wife is still alive, isn't she?"

“I can ask his wife for the money that Ma Tianshou owes me, it’s the same thing.”

"Who knew that, to make matters worse, his wife was gone too."

"Nobody knows where they went!"

"This money is just wasted."

Bucky paused, then said...

"With Master Ma gone, I can only count on Brother Hua."

"Who would have thought that Brother Hua would suddenly stop liking shipping goods from the docks?"

"Brother Hua doesn't have a boat, and neither do I. The one who has a boat is Master Ma."

"Since Ma Tianshou has been murdered, business is naturally impossible!"

Bucky is going crazy:

“I spent a lot of money to find that hitman, but he just vanished without a trace.”

Bucky shouted:
"I don't want to either!"

"If the business at the branch isn't doing well, is that my problem?"

"I don't want Ma Tianshou to die, and I don't want Brother Hua to disappear either!"

"With them around, the income in Sai Wan would definitely be even higher."

"Is this my fault?"

Everyone fell silent.

Yaowen suddenly spoke up:

"You make it sound so tragic."

Bucky shouted:
"I'm already so pitiful, don't you have any compassion at all?"

Yaowen countered with a question:

"Why should I sympathize with you?"

Bucky pointed at Yaowen and turned to the crowd, saying:

“Look everyone, this is the morality he keeps talking about.”

"I'm in such a miserable state, and he doesn't even show me any sympathy. He has no brotherly loyalty whatsoever."

Yaowen mocked:

"You've been talking about your own business the whole time, without mentioning a single thing about the business you like."

"This is one of them!"

Bucky was taken aback.

"The triad has repeatedly forbidden any contact with drug traffickers, yet you, as a veteran of three generations of Hung Hing, do business with Ma Tim-sau without any concern."

"Why did Ma Tianshou go to an outlying island? Do I need to remind you?"

"He was forced to flee to an outlying island by the police."

"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know about Ma Tianshou's wanted status?"

"do not you know?"

"From Brother Dao, Brother Kun, Brother Zhong down, who in the underworld doesn't know that taking powder is a desecration of his orders?"

"Not only do you associate with people who sell drugs, but you also dare to partner with them in selling drugs?"

"What audacity."

"It's fine if you're courting death, but don't drag our Hung Hing down with you and make us disliked by the three bosses."

Yaowen turned to Jiang Tiansheng and said:
"Mr. Jiang, I propose..."

“This guy has crossed our line.”

"Facing a guy like this..."

"Please use family rules!"

Bucky laughed and said:
"You want to use family discipline on me?"

"Who are you?"

Jiang Tianyang said calmly:

"Let's vote on Yaowen's proposal."

Bucky's face turned deathly pale in an instant:
"Mr. Jiang, no way."

"I fought alongside your father to build this empire, and I fought alongside your brother Jiang Sheng to build this empire..."

Jiang Tianyang pretended not to listen to him:

"The head of the West Ring District, Baki, was stripped of his position and subjected to three cuts and six holes as punishment."

"Raise your hands if you agree."

Jiang Tianyang was the first to raise his hand.

Chen Yao immediately followed, along with Sha Qiang, Yao Wen, Ah Niu, Xi Yan, Dinosaur, Pretty Mom, Gan Zi Tai, Dao Zai Qing, Yi Mian, Da Fei...

Except for Bucky, everyone else had their hands raised high.

Bucky stared at everyone in disbelief, his face ashen.

"I am a veteran of three dynasties, how dare you treat me like this?"

Chen Yao shouted:
"Remove his chair!"

"Guards, drag him out!"

Bucky struggled to run, but he was no match for them. As he was dragged away, he shouted:
"Jiang Tianyang, I fought alongside your father to build this empire. I shed blood for Hung Hing. I have made contributions, I have made contributions!"

Everyone sneered.
