38: Conquer the Hong Gang

“In broad daylight, Liu Hong, the leader, has tightly shut his doors. What? Do you not welcome your neighbor's visit?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong's heart instantly jolted.

He quickly looked up and saw a young man swaggering in from outside, followed closely by a bowing, respectful man.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hong gasped.

That man was none other than the leader of the mysterious force from the neighboring district, whom Liu Hong had previously seen in his subordinates' files.

This...

A Xuan Ling Realm Ninth Level person...

Serving as his bodyguard?

No!

A servant!

Liu Hong looked at the middle-aged man's respectful attitude, as if he treated the young man as a master with the power of life and death.

This was definitely not how one would treat a typical boss!

As he gasped, his gang members around him also quickly took a step back.

Those present were all high-ranking officials.

But facing the young man who walked in and the middle-aged man, they were deeply shocked.

At the same time, they felt like they were facing an ancient beast.

And as they thought this, Shen Mo, on the other side, comfortably walked to where Liu Hong was sitting.

The latter's face was flushed, and under the intimidating gaze of the Xuan Ling Realm Ninth Level expert, he was forced to stand up.

His entire body was like a puppet on strings, suppressed and pushed to the side.

Shen Mo sat down.

“Everyone seems to be having a lively time!”

He said to Liu Hong and the others with a grin, his yaksha mask on his face very conspicuous.

There was no other way; it was not yet time to reveal his identity.

Moreover, why show his true face to some small rats?

Fleecing them was the most important thing!

Did ordinary people even deserve to see his face?

When Shen Mo spoke, Liu Hong's voice was stiff, “I did not know of your honorable arrival. What instructions do you have?”

As he spoke, he felt that his words seemed to carry a hint of provocation, so he quickly added, “We have already decided to withdraw from here immediately. Please forgive us, honored guest; we will leave at once!”

“Leaving now!”

No more factions!

When Liu Hong spoke, Shen Mo's voice was grinning, “Leaving?”

“Where to?”

He raised a hand and stroked his chin, “I think this place is quite good.”

“And you all... are quite good too.”

Shen Mo's words were profound.

But Liu Hong and the others felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

“Honored guest, spare our lives!”

He immediately knelt down with a thud.

What a joke; he and Mu Tong were of similar strength.

And the latter's force was directly annihilated by the opponent.

Not only that, but there was also a Xuan Ling Realm Ninth Level expert here, eyeing him menacingly.

Liu Hong would have to be insane to oppose Shen Mo and try to be unyielding!

Nonsense, in this situation, if you try to be “unyielding,” the other party will send you underground to perform a grand play in minutes!

Liu Hong completely disregarded his dignity as a leader. In fact, not only him, but all the other Hong Gang members also knelt down.

At this moment, so-called dignity was all nonsense!

“Not bad, only the wise adapt to circumstances!”

“I am not here to destroy you today.”

Shen Mo was also very straightforward.

Since Liu Hong and the others were so accommodating, he was too lazy to waste any more time.

“You will take over all these properties here.”

“Anyone in the entire Northwest Black Market who dares to say ‘no’ or speak for the Hearing-Wood Faction will be killed!”

Shen Mo did not care how many of Luo Fan's spies were in the Northwest Black Market; the most important thing was that those who defied him would die!

Speaking for the Hearing-Wood Faction, did that not mean they thought the other party had dealt with him well?

In that case, they could go and join Mu Tong and the others!

“Also, take over all these places!”

Shen Mo also gave Liu Hong and the others some of Mu Tong's, oh no, Luo Fan's properties in Lin Hai City.

From today onwards, this place belonged to Shen Mo!

Of course, he allowed those people to express their opinions, but anyone who disagreed would just have to wait for death!

As Shen Mo's words came out, Liu Hong's heart pounded violently; he had thought Shen Mo was going to kill him!

After all... saying they were “not bad” did not that mean killing them?

He never expected that Shen Mo actually wanted to subdue them?

Thinking of this, Liu Hong immediately realized that he must have encountered a great opportunity.

This mysterious force, after destroying the forces of Mu Tong and others, actually wanted to take over the entire Northwest Black Market?

Not only that, but they also wanted to take over many places in Lin Hai City?

Liu Hong's breathing became heavy.

And so did his gang members beside him.

If they could get on this express train, to what extent could the power of those present expand?

Never mind that this power belonged to Shen Mo.

If they pledged allegiance to Shen Mo, they would be a part of the force!

Their development would be even stronger than when they were in the Hong Gang!

As everyone thought this, they were indescribably excited.

And Liu Hong, looking at the performance of the people around him, how could he not know what they meant?

Everyone was tempted.

Even if he did not agree, someone would immediately kill him to take his place and pledge allegiance to Shen Mo!

Thinking this, he immediately knelt respectfully on both knees, took the items Shen Mo handed over with both hands, and said respectfully, “Thank you for your master's bestowal.”

He did not call him boss, nor leader, but directly called him master.

This meant he had completely submitted to Shen Mo, willing to be a dog under his command.

And as he spoke, Shen Mo looked at his actions, smiled slightly, and said, “Very good, you will not regret this choice today.”

As he spoke, he then took out a cultivation technique, threw it to Liu Hong, and said, “You few, read it together.”

“Also, divide these things.”

As he said this, he also had people bring in some resources.

For Shen Mo, he could have as many of these things as he wanted; he did not even care about them.

And the increase in strength of Liu Hong and the others would also benefit him.

As for why he chose Liu Hong and them...

Was it not because they were close?

The Hearing-Wood Faction's power was right here, and Shen Mo was too lazy to look for other people.

He still had too few people around him.

And the Northwest Black Market had so many existing forces; was he going to visit them one by one?

Don't be ridiculous.

Shen Mo's expression was calm as he looked at Liu Hong and the others.

The latter and the others were stunned, looking at the cultivation technique Shen Mo had given them, as well as the cultivation resources he had sent.
