Chapter 404: There is no good feast
Dark Fragrance City, slum area.
Nanxing Tea House.
This is a three-story retro wooden building. It looks very grand from the outside and seems a little out of place with the buildings in this slum area.
However, everyone in the slums respected and feared this teahouse, more fear than respect.
Because Nanxing Tea House is the headquarters of Nanxing Society, one of the largest gangs in the slums, and it can also be regarded as one of the landmark buildings in the slums.
In the previous slums, perhaps only the Red Bear Gang and the Broadsword Club were qualified to compete with Nanxing Society.
Some prominent people would come to Nanxing Tea House to drink tea from time to time, naturally for the purpose of establishing a relationship with Ouyang, the president of Nanxing Society.
But just today, when these people who had lunch and wanted to drink tea and relax, they were stopped when they walked dozens of meters away from Nanxing Teahouse.
“Sorry, Nanxing Tea House is closed to the public today. Please go back!”
The members wearing Nanxing She's robes only answered the guests with this sentence, which made everyone dare not say anything more.
However, they did not leave just yet, but stood on the outside looking around.
It seems that I want to see what happened in Nanxing Tea House today?
As time goes by, more and more people have gathered around the location of Nanxing Tea House, and voices of discussion are still coming from some places.
"Hey, I heard that President Ouyang of Nanxing Society held a banquet at the Nanxing Tea House today and invited the leaders of the Red Bear Gang and the Brotherhood to have a tea party here."
< br>
"Brotherhood? Is it the brotherhood that incorporated the Broadsword Association a few days ago?"
"Nonsense, are there other brotherhoods in the slums?"
"Yes, if not With the increasing power of the Brotherhood, can others be favored by President Ouyang? "
“Speaking of what happened to this brotherhood, how did it suddenly jump from a small gang to one of the three major gangs?”
“It is said that two people were found. A mutant is a big backer, and he’s coming in force!”
"Humph, it's just good luck. Besides, whether the Brotherhood can become one of the three major gangs in the slums depends on the outcome of today's negotiations."
"Ba Ye is right, a nouveau riche How can the Brotherhood, which has grown up like this, be compared with established gangs like Nanxing Society and Red Bear Gang?”
"In my opinion, the banquet hosted by President Ouyang here today is not just as simple as drinking tea and chatting, right?"
"Maybe there will be something good to watch later."
“Then let’s stand a little further away and watch, so as not to get splashed with blood when the fight breaks out!”
"..."
For a while, there was a lot of discussion outside the Nanxing Teahouse, and more and more people gathered around, pointing at the teahouse.
For the people in these slums, they do not know the inside story, so they are naturally more optimistic about the established forces Nanxing Society and the Red Bear Society, but have little confidence in the Brotherhood.
Some people with keen minds even realized that today’s banquet was definitely not a good one.
Maybe it is a conspiracy by Nanxing Society and the Red Bear Gang to annex the Brotherhood.
It's a pity that they can only stand on the outside and discuss how the internal negotiations in the tea house are going, which is a black eye.
…………
Nanxing Tea House, second floor!
Besides a huge round table, in addition to the leaders of the three major forces sitting, there are also several figures exuding special auras. The person sitting at the top of the table is Ouyang Nan, the president of Nanxing Society.
He has a square face, majestic appearance, and a short beard. He is about fifty years old.
Beside him was a young man with a somewhat sinister appearance. He was sitting next to Ouyang Nan, turning his wine glass casually, as if he was not too concerned about the president.
On the other side, the polar bear, the leader of the Red Bear Gang, is extremely strong. Even sitting there, he looks like half an iron tower. He looks very powerful.
Not many people know the real name of Polar Bear, but everyone in the slums knows that he is a mutant himself, especially good at physical strength.
Next to the polar bear is naturally another mutant from the Red Bear Gang.
This person was dressed like a scholar and held a folding fan in his hand, which formed a very strong contrast with the figure of the polar bear.
Many people know that the sinister young man from Nanxing Society is a mutant and has reached the level of half-step realm building. Of course, this is what they knew before.
The reason why the Red Bear Gang is on an equal footing with Nanxing Society is because there are two First Elephant Realm mutants in the gang, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
Relatively speaking, the Dagger Club, one of the three major gangs in the past, is even weaker.
At least from this initial stage, there is no guarantee that he can win the opponent.
But today, on the Brotherhood side, apart from the young-looking alliance leader Zheng Zheng, Mo Cong and Jin Huai were sitting on either side of them, which was quite powerful.
These are the seven people sitting at the main table, and they are also the main targets of the negotiations between the three major forces this time.
"Brother Zhang Zheng, how have you considered the proposal I just made?"
Ouyang Nan, the president of Nanxing Society, took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, and then He raised his head and asked with a slight smile, looking quite gentle and kind.
"President Ouyang, I will hand over millions of secret coins to your two gangs every year, and give you half of the territory. Are some lions talking too much?"
Zhang Zheng frowned a little and repeated the conditions just mentioned by the other party, but it only attracted sneers on the faces of the top leaders of the two gangs on the opposite side.
Zhang Zheng knew that this banquet was not a good one, and he also knew that Nanxing Society and the Red Bear Gang had reached some agreements in private and wanted to divide their fraternal alliance.
But Zhang Zheng had to come to this banquet.
So while he went to the banquet bravely, he asked Lu Si to find Mr. Hong, hoping to make it in time.
However, Zhang Zheng was not sure. Firstly, Lu Si might not be able to find Mr. Hong in time, and secondly, Mr. Hong might not meddle in the Brotherhood's business anymore. These were uncertain.
But the conditions put forward by the other party were too harsh. It was difficult for the Brotherhood to reach the scale it is today. If they really agreed to these conditions, they would be even worse than before.
Jin Huai and Mo Cong next to them both had gloomy faces, including Lu Huan and Hong Lang, who were sitting outside, with a hint of anger on their faces, unable to accept such conditions.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, Polar Bear, the leader of the Red Bear Gang, suddenly snorted coldly, and then said in a deep voice: “You little cub who doesn’t even have all his fur, really think we are Are we here to discuss with you today?”
“If I understand, I will comply with the conditions proposed by President Ouyang. If not, there will be no brotherhood after today!”
The polar bear stared at Zhang Zheng across from him fiercely, perhaps he did have some disdain in his heart.
Why should a young boy in his early twenties be equal to me?
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the second floor of the tea house became a little solemn.
