Starting from Hong Kong in 1988!

"what!"

A scream echoed through the alley.

Black Tooth Tai stared intently and saw that the knife had actually pierced through the palm and sunk into the brickwork, pinning the thug's hand to the wall.

Only the hilt was left outside, trembling precariously.

Xu Guangkun let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey, let's chat..."

Before he could even speak, another underling stepped forward.

Xu Guangkun immediately dodged his flying kick, which slammed solidly against the wall.

"Bang."

Just as the man grabbed his leg to cry out in pain, Xu Guangkun slammed him against the wall and snatched the knife from his hand.

"Pfft!"

Another person was nailed to the wall.

Then came the second, the third, and then the punk rocker who got up from the ground.

After pinning everyone to the wall, Xu Guangkun finally looked at Hei Yatai, who was standing there frowning.

"Can we talk now?"

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

As Hei Ya Tai was speaking, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old thug, with a ferocity that seemed to come from nowhere, endured the excruciating pain, pulled out his knife, and charged at Xu Guangkun with a bloodthirsty expression. The knife was aimed directly at Xu Guangkun's back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Xu Guangkun grabbed his wrist holding the knife with one hand and the back of his head with the other, then slammed him against the wall.

At that moment, the mottled wall grew larger and larger in his eyes, and the protruding stone spikes were right in front of his eyes.

The thug finally got scared and closed his eyes in fear.

But when it hits, the force from the back of the head pulls and pulls.

He fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Guangkun didn't even glance at the terrified thug, and continued speaking to Hei Yatai, "Yin Tao wants your life."

Black Tooth Tai's gaze swept over all his underlings before landing on Xu Guangkun: "So good at fighting, so fierce, which gang's Double Flower Red Pole are you from?"

Xu Guangkun grinned. "I am Xu Guangkun."

.....

Xu Guangkun was a little excited when he first saw Hei Yatai.

This guy just wandered around the street, pulled out a gun, fired, and that was it.

But soon he realized something was wrong. Why were the other two people jumping around in a group, clearly on guard against him, while this person wasn't?

Could it be bait?

When doubts arise, one's eyes instinctively begin to scan the surroundings.

The cars following behind, with their colorful heads, seemed to be glancing at the pedestrians in their cars.

They're surrounded, but why haven't they made a move?

Xu Guangkun didn't understand, but there was no time for him to think about it further.

Without hesitation, he dialed the police and then walked straight toward Hei Yatai.

Kill one more, then go to the police station.

It's not enough, but there's nothing we can do about it.

This was Xu Guangkun's first thought, but when he walked up to Heiya Tai and was about to make a move, he overheard their conversation.

Once everything connected in his mind, he knew that Yin Tao wanted to use him to get rid of Heiya Tai.

It is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, hence this incident.

"Yin Tao wants to kill me?" Hei Ya Tai was already somewhat convinced, but unwilling to admit it. "You've killed so many of our people and so many others at Hesheng. Why should I believe you?"

Xu Guangkun could only truthfully recount his experiences along the way.

"You and the victors should be waiting to collect your corpse. Do you want to take a look?"

Xu Guangkun's words were not unfounded.

Black Tooth Tai turned his head and glanced at the alleyway not far from him. A breeze was blowing out and felt cool against his skin, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that several heads with shifty eyes were lying there, staring at him in a sinister way.

"Fine, fine, fine. You're forcing me, little brother, and you're forcing me too, Yin Tao. What the hell are you worshipping, Guan Yu?" Black Tooth Tai's chest heaved, his face flushed. "Come with me."

......

"Brother, something's happened. Xu Guangkun and Hei Ya Tai have teamed up. They've exposed everything you did. Now they've gone to Yi An to borrow men, a lot of brothers too..."

The younger brother didn't dare look at Yin Tao's face. "He ran away."

With a livid face, Yin Tao closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, and when he opened them again, his expression had returned to calm. "Let's start the meal ahead of schedule."

"Brother, Black Tooth's army is strong and well-equipped; we might not be able to defeat them. Let's go; we still have time."

My younger brother is a bit anxious.

Yin Tao stood up. "I'm not leaving. I'll eat, and after I finish eating, we'll fight here."

"Big brother, they'll be here soon."

My younger brother couldn't help but offer his condolences again.

"I won't leave." Yin Tao's eyes reddened. "I, Yin Tao, have walked this path with utmost care, all for one thought. Hall Master, I killed my brothers, I have no sense of morality, but I've come this far. Now, I'm the leader. If I leave, what will I have left? As long as I hold on, I can forever etch my mark on the history of Hesheng. I will be the eternal leader!"

The younger brother didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Brother, it's no use. It's just an empty title now."

"I've been a henchman for over a decade, and I've finally made it this far." Yin Tao raised the dragon-headed staff high. "I'm not leaving!"

He strode out to the center of the hotel and roared, "Let the feast begin!"

"Big brother!"

His underling followed behind him, asking, "Why bother?"

Yin Tao remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the underlings who were looking at him. After a long silence, he said, "So, these are the only people left?"

With that, he turned to his underlings and said, "Alright, finish eating and take them away."

"The only people who stay here now are those who want to be with you." The younger brother shook his head. "If you don't leave, we won't leave either."

Yin Tao stared at his youthful face for a long time, his lips trembling slightly, and said through gritted teeth, "He'll die."

"I knelt before Lord Guan and said..." the younger brother began softly, his voice like an ancient melody: "Let us all be of one mind, upholding loyalty and righteousness, sharing joy and sorrow, though we may not live together, we are willing to die together!"

....

"Do you know about my older brother's situation?"

Looking at the group of people carrying weapons ahead, Xu Guangkun suddenly spoke up.

Black Tooth Tai, who was just giving his underling a warning to be careful, was taken aback: "Wang Wu?"

"right."

Black Tooth Tai patted his underling on the shoulder and said, "Go on."

Then he turned to look at Xu Guangkun and said, "This is the thing I regret the most."

His voice was somewhat low: "Back then, the leader called us all over to discuss whether or not to kill your older brother. He asked us to vote anonymously, and everyone except me voted in favor."

"Actually, if I had absolutely disagreed, I could have stopped it." Black Tooth Tai shook his head. "But I backed down. I couldn't afford to offend so many people. I love reading, and I know a saying: 'To blend in with the world.'"

"But looking back now, what most people believe isn't necessarily right." Black Fang Tai paused, then continued, "After this, the entire Hesheng fell apart. If that hadn't started..."

He shook his head again. "Forget it, there are no 'what ifs.' It was inevitable that we would come to this point. Now everyone only cares about money, and not many people follow the rules anymore."

"The rules, huh?"

Xu Guangkun recalled Jiang Lanxin's words.

"For some people, rules are mountains; for others, rules are paper, easily torn apart."
