10: Chapter 10 This is too much!

"For a long time, this family head has acted in a conventional manner; it seems that was mostly due to the influence of his predecessor. Now that he has been liberated, it is truly unexpected."

Watching the direction in which Pei Tianrong left, Pei Qingyun also thought a great deal.

When the Pei family was weak, it was natural to proceed with caution.

Things are different now; the Pei family should also show its own sharp edge.

Inside the Pei family's martial arts practice arena.

Dozens of Martial Artists dressed in the same uniform gathered together; each of them stood straight with eyes like torches, arranged in two orderly rows.

Anyone who took just a glance could feel the powerful Aura invisibly radiating from the formation.

Yet, this very team was respectfully watching the middle-aged man in the center of the martial arts practice arena.

"Pei Kong!" Pei Tianrong said with a solemn expression, his gaze falling on the man at the very front of the team.

"I am here, sir!" Pei Kong's voice was resonant and powerful, full of confidence.

"This operation is fully entrusted to your command, but I have one requirement: I want the prestige of the Pei family army to resound throughout the entire city."

As he spoke, Pei Tianrong's tone became impassioned.

"I accept the order!" Pei Kong bowed slightly, his eyes full of Battle Intent.

Wuyang County had not seen such a major movement in a long time.

It was foreseeable that this act of 'striking the mountain to frighten the tiger' would surely shake the entire city.

Just as the Pei family was assembling their forces, on the other side, a small commander of the Pei family delivered the message to the Dahe Gang.

Upon receiving the news, the entire Dahe Gang was shaken.

Immediately, the gang leader Zhao Shanhe issued a summons, gathering all the Elders who had not yet gone out.

Perhaps the pressure brought by the Pei family was simply too great.

In less than a quarter of an hour, basically all the Dahe Gang Elders who could make it had arrived.

"Just a moment ago, the Pei family issued an ultimatum, requiring our Dahe Gang to bring sincerity and go to the Pei family to apologize before noon. Does anyone know what this is about?" Zhao Shanhe looked at the group of Elders, his mind still a bit confused.

He had been fine in seclusion, and then this matter inexplicably arose; he couldn't be more frustrated.

"Reporting to the Gang Leader, during this period, your subordinate has always kept to himself and rarely went out. Even with people in the branch, I have warned them many times; it is absolutely impossible that we offended the Pei family."

"Like Elder He, if it weren't for the Gang Leader's summons, I would still be in seclusion."

"Gang Leader, I haven't received any news in this regard either. We would never dare to offend anyone from the Pei family. Could there be some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding! You say misunderstanding! If it were a misunderstanding, would the Pei family come directly to our door? Whoever's men offended the Pei family, admit it now, and there is still a chance for salvation. If it is too late, bear the consequences yourself." Zhao Shanhe stared at the Elder who said it was a misunderstanding, his eyes full of anger.

Quite a few Elders who were on good terms exchanged glances, realizing this was not a good time to speak.

For a moment, the entire meeting hall fell into silence.

But at such a critical moment, how could Zhao Shanhe remain calm?

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a gentle tone, "Time waits for no one. This matter must have a result; the Pei family is still waiting for our reply. For any Elder who confesses voluntarily, I can let bygones be bygones."

Even so, no one spoke up.

Just like that, time ticked away, and the meeting hall was terrifyingly quiet, as if it were shrouded in a layer of heavy pressure.

Suddenly.

An Elder slowly raised his head, his gaze locked on Zhao Shanhe's face, and said, "Gang Leader, your subordinate has a guess, but I do not know if I should say it."

Seeing someone speak, the heart that Zhao Shanhe had been hanging finally dropped, and he hurriedly said.

"Elder Yun, speak quickly."

"According to what your subordinate understands, early this morning, the Ancestor of the Pei family killed a small leader of our gang." Elder Yun said slowly.

"The Ancestor of the Pei family!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhe felt his vision go dark, and he almost passed out.

Offending anyone would have been bad, but to specifically offend Pei Qingyun.

That was truly like wielding a knife over the head of the Tai Sui; it was pure suicide.

As for the reason for the offense, that was not important at all.

As long as Pei Qingyun was willing, he could completely call a deer a horse at the Dahe Gang.

It can only be said that clashing with Pei Qingyun was the Dahe Gang's bad luck.

"What is this small leader's name, and whose subordinate was he, that he dared to clash with the Ancestor of the Pei family? If the Ancestor of the Pei family hadn't slapped him to death, I would have extracted his tendons and peeled his skin to vent the hatred in my heart." Zhao Shanhe's eyes were splitting with rage, and the anger in his eyes climbed to its peak once again.

"The small leader is named Wang Da, from Wang Family Village." Elder Yun did not hesitate and continued to answer Zhao Shanhe's doubts.

As for the question of Wang Da's affiliation, he did not state it directly, but it was implied.

"Elder Bai, isn't Wang Family Village under your jurisdiction? Why didn't you report such a thing when it happened?" Zhao Shanhe questioned coldly.

"It is true that Wang Da came from my jurisdiction, but he was not recruited into the gang by me, so naturally, he is not my man. If the Gang Leader wants to get to the bottom of this, you might as well ask Elder Zifeng."

"Elder Zifeng, is what Elder Bai said true?" Zhao Shanhe's gaze fell on an Elder closest to him, his eyes full of inquiry.

For a long time, this Elder Zifeng had been the one closest to him among all the Elders.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely this Elder who was closest to him who was backstabbing him behind his back.

This made his expression even uglier.

"Wang Da is my man. The reason I didn't report this matter was my negligence. But I hope the Gang Leader can listen to me explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail from beginning to end." Zifeng pondered for a moment before admitting the fact.

Subsequently, Zifeng described the results of the investigation truthfully.

Standing from the perspective of the Dahe Gang, the party at fault in this matter should be Pei Qingyun. Now Pei Qingyun had killed their man and still demanded they go to apologize.

This was something Zifeng had completely not expected.

It could be said that if this matter were placed on any other Elder, this would likely be the outcome.

But regardless, the matter was stirred up by his man, so he could only count it as his bad luck.

Punishment must be meted out.

But now is not the time to discuss this.

Calming the Pei family's anger is the key.

But upon thinking of this result, all the Elders felt extremely aggrieved.

"For the past few years, our Dahe Gang has been paying tribute to the Wang family. Gang Leader, do you think we should take this matter to the head of the Wang family? The Pei family is truly going too far; they are bullying us too much." An Elder said angrily.
