The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

The restaurant owner's statement was arranged by Ding Xin.

This boss doesn't know any of the details; Ding Xin taught him all of that.

While both sides were fighting desperately, he had long since disappeared. This is a basic skill for ordinary people who make a living in the Garibong Cave.

Ding Xin personally handed him 20 million in cash.

On one hand, it was done for the police to see, or you could say it was done for Ma Sik Road to see.

Prove that you are a reasonable person, and don't come looking for trouble again.

On the other hand, it was also to show the merchants of Garibong Cave that he was going to take over the Black Dragon Sect's business, and this move also proved that he was different from Zhang Qian.

After presenting the facts, reasoning, and demonstrating strength, how could the restaurant owner refuse?

After the restaurant owner finished his vivid account, the shopkeepers and neighbors in the vicinity all chimed in with their own corroborating accounts...

These merchants didn't need Ding Xin's help.

When someone takes the lead, people will fill in the details themselves, and everyone has a herd mentality.

Soon, the complete outline of the entire incident was revealed to everyone.

a few days ago.

Zhang Qian had arranged to have dinner with someone in a private room at a restaurant for some reason.

Then Ding Xin somehow got wind of it and led a few of his henchmen to the door demanding an explanation.

Who knew the timing was so bad?

Because of the recent frequent police actions, Zhang Qian has become very cautious.

On the surface, Zhang Qian only brought about ten or so henchmen to the restaurant, but in reality, he had secretly deployed more than a dozen henchmen nearby.

Seeing that Ding Xin had walked right into the trap, Zhang Qian immediately called all his henchmen up and, taking advantage of their numbers, swarmed and attacked Ding Xin and his companions.

Facing an enemy several times their size, Ding Xin and his men were tough as nails; they gritted their teeth and went straight for the fight.

The scene was truly horrific!

The fighting was so fierce and chaotic, it was a bloodbath!

By the time the police arrived, the fight had already ended.

Several ambulances arrived.

When the three leaders of the Black Dragon Faction, Zhang Qian, Wei Chengluo, and Yang Tai, were dragged out, they were all unconscious.

Especially Zhang Qian.

His face was so badly beaten that he was almost disfigured; you wouldn't recognize him unless you looked closely...

Also, there are too many of those Black Dragon faction's underlings.

The police cars that arrived earlier weren't enough, and they had to be taken away by buses that were specially dispatched later.

It is said that the entire private room was dismantled afterwards, and the floor was covered in blood. In some nooks and crannies, you could even find the remaining fingers.

Now, Zhonghua Restaurant can no longer continue operating and must undergo major renovations.

The matter is now quite clear.

Ding Xin is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness; he really did come back to seek revenge!

Some people with ulterior motives think even deeper.

That Zhang Qian is no ordinary person. The fact that he managed to cause such a stir in the entire Jiulao District while remaining completely unharmed speaks volumes about his strength.

So many small gangs were suffocated by him, and they were terrified of him.

And this ruthless and vicious person has now fallen into the hands of Ding Xin without anyone noticing.

If Ding Xin had used some kind of scheme or trickery, that would be one thing.

However, this was the result of a real, head-on battle when Ding Xin's side was far outnumbered by the Black Dragon Faction.

That's chilling!

Involuntarily, a vision arose in their minds at the same time.

A ferocious, ravenous beast opened its eyes in the darkness.

...

Ordinary people only noticed the destruction of the Black Dragon Faction, but failed to pay attention to another piece of information that spread along with the truth of this event.

Ding Xin established his own organization – the Faith Faction.

While publicly announcing the takeover of all the former Black Dragon Faction's territories and properties, they began recruiting new members...

Chapter 28 Initially Taking Shape

now.

South of Garibong Cave, Flower Street.

Ding Xin gave all the ladies a day off today, but the alley was still crowded with all sorts of people.

There is only one reason: the Lutheran sect has officially begun recruiting members.

Looking at the recruitment work that was in full swing, Ding Xin yawned leisurely.

Indeed, there was nothing for him to do; he handed over all the work to Kim Myung-chul and the others.

After dealing with the Black Dragon Faction, he drank a sworn brotherhood drink with several people that very night, directly accepting them as his own and establishing the initial framework for the organization's development.

Ding Xin is the eldest, but we won't discuss that.

When it came to fighting the Black Dragon Faction, not one of them backed down.

Now that we've reaped the rewards of victory, it's time to reward those who have contributed.

Ding Xin took it one step at a time. Since he needed to recruit people, he promoted them all to junior leaders.

He was initially divided into five groups, with Wu Taizhi, Gao Mao, Wei Lin, Li Shi, and Jin Mingzhe as the group leaders.

Their own subordinates are recruited by themselves.

Ding Xin only needs to keep them under control.

No matter who they recruit, Ding Xin has only one requirement for new members—to be loyal and righteous.

Letting them recruit themselves also has one advantage.

Apart from Wu Taizhi, the others were all locals, and they knew many of the thugs who came this time.

Some of them were even members of their original gangs, so the selection process was relatively simple.

If you look closely, you'll see that most of the local thugs are concentrated around Jin Mingzhe and his group.

The number of people queuing up at Wu Taizhi's side was significantly less than the number queuing up at Jin Mingzhe's side.

Most of them were unfamiliar faces, probably young people from other places who came to Seoul to make a living with their dreams.

...

Ding Xin, who thought things would be simple, underestimated his current influence.

Unexpectedly, he had just started waving the flag.

It's astonishing how many thugs and petty criminals want to join his cause.

Among them were members of small gangs that had been broken up by the Black Dragon Faction.

Most of them were petty thugs who idled away their time in various places.

There are too many people.

I was busy from morning until noon, but the number of people didn't seem to decrease.

"Should I go and help?" Ding Xin muttered to himself.

However, after looking at Kim Myung-cheol and the others who were still busy and not seeing any impatience on their faces, I decided to let it go.

Maybe they're experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Just as he expected, Jin Mingzhe and his team showed no impatience whatsoever; they were only happy to see the lively scene unfolding.

While recruiting, they also recalled the promises Ding Xin had made to them.

In the past few days, based on the information left by Du Chengyu, they had thoroughly investigated the Black Dragon Faction's industries and territory.

I have gained a general understanding of the Black Dragon Faction's revenue-generating methods during this period:

First, there are the businesses he runs himself, which are mainly the original businesses of the Viper Faction: seven massage parlors and three game rooms that used to belong to the Yi Shuai Faction.

These industries combined generate approximately 300 million Korean won in profit each month.

Secondly, there's lending, especially usury, which is even more ruthless than regular usury. While others might take nine out of ten and return thirteen, they take ten out and return twenty, and if they're in a bad mood, they might double the rate!

According to the ledgers Ding Xin found, the Black Dragon Faction still has nearly 1.7 billion Korean won in uncollected funds...

The principal amount is about 800 million Korean won, isn't that terrifying?

Even more terrifying is that there were no bad debts on the books, which means that all the previous accounts were balanced!
