Chapter 467: The Coming Storm

The golden sun was setting in the west, while the jade rabbit rose in the east.

According to the weather report, a typhoon was expected to pass through Hong Kong in the early hours of tomorrow. A dark cloud had suddenly appeared, shrouding the entire city and casting an eerie, oppressive atmosphere. The air was heavy with the scent of impending thunderstorm and rain. Occasional gusts of cold wind made pedestrians quicken their pace as they hurried home.

Ya Jie Old Street, a relatively prosperous street in Kowloon City, was lined with older buildings and numerous small residential areas and shops.

This street was the territory of the Black Dragon Hall, where they collected protection fees and operated various underground entertainment venues.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, due to the weather, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and business in the shops was rather sluggish. Many shops took the opportunity to close their doors.

At that moment!

"Tap, tap, tap…"

A series of rapid footsteps echoed on the empty street. Some shopkeepers who had not yet closed their doors peered outside and were immediately frightened. They quickly retreated into their shops and shut their doors.

This reaction was common, as everyone knew that trouble was brewing and a gang war was imminent. It was better to shut the doors to avoid unnecessary trouble.

More and more people in black clothing emerged from all sides, wielding weapons. They quickly formed a mass of black-clad figures. In the dim light, various weapons glinted with a menacing shine.

Leading them was Liao Pengfei, whose eyes were bloodshot and filled with a ruthless, vengeful look.

At this moment, Liao Pengfei was wearing a white cloth wrapped around his head. Not only him, but also the nearly two hundred men behind him had their heads wrapped in white cloth, giving off an air of mourning. Clearly, someone important had died.

As Ya Jie Old Street was the territory of the Black Dragon Hall, there were Black Dragon Hall members stationed everywhere. Liao Pengfei and his nearly two hundred men openly barged into their territory, clearly indicating their intent to fight.

Thus, the Black Dragon Hall members immediately reported to their superiors. Soon, more and more Black Dragon Hall members gathered here.

Liao Pengfei was well aware of the situation but didn't care. In fact, he hoped they would come; otherwise, how could he avenge his brother?

Arriving outside a Black Dragon Hall entertainment venue, Liao Pengfei shouted coldly.

"Smash it!"

Immediately, a group of subordinates armed with weapons charged in. Cries of agony and alarm emanated from inside, but Liao Pengfei, standing at the door, remained indifferent.

His brother was dead; someone had to pay with their life!

At the headquarters of the Tiger Clan, Wang Hu, who was playing mahjong, was stunned by his subordinate's report. His gaze turned sharp as he looked at the reporting subordinate.

"What? Is this true?"

"Yes, Boss, it's true. Fei Ge has taken all his men to the Black Dragon Hall's territory. It's said that his brother was hacked ten times and died at the hands of Xue Lang Luo Gang of the Black Dragon Hall."

"Fei Ge cares most about his brother. Now that his brother is dead, he has sworn to make Luo Gang pay with his life!"

The subordinate reported solemnly.

Xue Lang Luo Gang was one of the Black Dragon Hall's dual red sticks, a close confidant of the Black Dragon Hall's boss, Ye Hailong, and a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon Hall.

Now that Liao Pengfei demanded Luo Gang's life, the Black Dragon Hall would certainly not agree. Since Liao Pengfei had taken matters into his own hands, a clash was now inevitable!

"Gather all the brothers and have Xia Lei bring his men as well. We need to support Big Bird Fei," Wang Hu ordered, although he was angry at Liao Pengfei's unilateral decision, he understood his actions to some extent.

However, the conflict was unavoidable now; they had to face it head-on.

Soon, not long after Liao Pengfei left, all members of the Tiger Clan quickly gathered.

...

At the headquarters of the Black Dragon Hall.

Ye Hailong, known in the underworld as Dragon Ye, was currently in the living room, enjoying the company of two women.

In the living room, there were also several high-ranking members, each embracing one or two women. The room had turned into a place of debauchery, but everyone was accustomed to it.

The saying "an unworthy leader breeds an unworthy crew" seemed fitting for Ye Hailong, the so-called "Silver Dragon," as it was difficult for the Black Dragon Hall to avoid decline. The entire Kowloon City's red-light district was dominated by the Black Dragon Hall, occupying five floors—one of their main businesses.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside. One of Ye Hailong's subordinates, sensing the situation, reported immediately, "Boss, bad news. Big Bird Fei from the Tiger Clan has brought two hundred men to raid our turf. They've arrived at Ya Jie Old Street, and they're all wearing white cloth on their heads, apparently seeking revenge."

"There's also news that Wang Hu and Lei Lao Hu from the Tiger Clan are gathering their forces. It looks like they're coming to trouble us."

"What?!"

"Ying, it hurts…"

"Shut up!"

One of Ye Hailong's subordinates, a bald man with a face full of flesh, flashed a fierce look in his eyes upon hearing the news. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the chests of the two women in his arms, causing them to moan in pain. Luo Gang's angry shout startled them, and they trembled in fear, unable to make another sound.

"Luo Gang, is it your territory causing the trouble? Did you kill Big Bird Fei's entire family? Is that why he's coming for you with his head wrapped in white cloth?"

A middle-aged man with a buzz cut, who was another of Ye Hailong's trusted subordinates, asked. He was Xiao Wu, a Thai-Chinese who practiced Muay Thai from a young age and had mastered it.

"I only dealt with a blind thug yesterday. I don't know if he's related to Big Bird Fei," Luo Gang snorted coldly, his anger rising at the thought of the previous day's events.

Though he was bald, he still felt a green aura around his head. His lifetime of reputation was ruined by a thug and a cheap woman. How could he continue in the underworld?

He was barely able to avoid turning that thug into dog food. Even if he had known the dead man was connected to Liao Pengfei, he would have killed him just as mercilessly, if not more so!

"Enough with the useless talk. Get your weapons and assemble the men. Prepare for battle!"

Ye Hailong, who wore an eye patch, said in a deep voice. He pushed away the two women in his arms, opened a nearby drawer, and took out two guns, which he stuffed into his waistband.

Seeing this, Luo Gang and Xiao Wu also opened the drawers by the table, each taking out two guns and a knife, and then headed outside, leaving behind several frightened, naked women who collapsed on the ground.

...

In Kowloon City, where various forces were intertwined, any disturbance could attract significant attention, especially with the imminent clash between two of Kowloon's three major powers and the Tiger Clan and the Black Dragon Hall.

This was a seismic event!

As the largest power in Kowloon City, the New Yi An naturally learned of the news first.

The leader of New Yi An in Kowloon City, Wu Sihai, had three main subordinates: Gao Feng, Zhou Jiangliu, and He Wenzhong.

When Wu Sihai received the report from his subordinates, he was in a meeting with his three main subordinates discussing cooperation on a smuggling issue.

Upon learning about the impending clash between the Black Dragon Hall and the Tiger Clan, Wu Sihai immediately halted the discussion and decided to deal with the current situation first.

"What do you think?"

Wu Sihai squinted his eyes, scanning the faces of the three men with a sharp gaze, and asked solemnly.
