"Some things, even if everyone knows we did them, if there's no evidence, the police can't do anything to us."

"Those with stacks of criminal records at the police station that are taller than a person are all brainless idiots."

"You must never follow their example."

Luo Tianhong pouted unconvinced, but in her heart, she began to agree a little with Lin Fu's words.

Lin Fu looked at him and continued, "Knights-errant use martial arts to break the law, and scholars use literature to disrupt the law."

"When you possess power greater than that of an ordinary person, you always want to show it off; it's human nature."

"But remember, don't go around bragging about your abilities."

"I'm a martial artist, just like you. I know what our strength means to ordinary people."

"Shouting everywhere is the dumbest thing to do. It will only make others wary of you."

Even if you manage to force your way through, you'll have to pay several times the price.

"If someone offends you, don't waste your breath arguing with them. Just find a secluded place and get your revenge."

There's no need to make it known to the whole world.

Luo Tianhong's mouth dropped open: "...What a treacherous trick."

Lin Fu chuckled coldly: "This is how things have always been done in Mong Kok."

Luo Tianhong immediately said, "I'll learn! I must learn it!"

Lin Fu nodded in satisfaction. These were the words Ye Tian was originally going to say to Luo Tianhong. But since Ye Tian had entrusted this task to him, he naturally had to make everything clear. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't bother saying so much. Saying so much was more tiring than fighting.

Lin Fu casually asked, "Tianhong, what do you want to do? Or rather, what's your dream?"

Luo Tianhong immediately perked up, his eyes shining: "Challenge the boss! Become the number one master in the world!"

Lin Fu gave a big thumbs up, thinking to himself, "This little guy's dream is really big."

Luo Tianhong added, "Either I defeat the boss and become number one; or I get beaten to death by the boss and fall on my way to becoming number one."

"Those of us in this line of work are destined to die on the way up the ladder."

Lin Fu remained silent for a moment, then looked at Luo Tianhong with a different expression. No matter how distant or unrealistic a dream may be, it shouldn't be ridiculed. This kid truly lives up to his reputation as a martial arts fanatic.

The two returned to Ye Tian's residence, opened the door, and found two more guests in the living room.

Ye Tian was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea with the two of them.

Lin Fu walked over with a smile: "Brother Fei, Brother Gou, what brings you here?"

The two who arrived were none other than the two big shots from North Point, Big Fly and Greyhound.

Dafei and Greyhound quickly stood up and greeted him warmly, "Brother Fu, it's been a long time!"

Lin Fu was taken aback, a little puzzled. Was the hierarchy a bit messed up? The seniority system in Hung Hing wasn't usually that strict. If the elders of both sides weren't on good terms, they generally addressed each other based on age and position. Da Fei and Greyhound were both top henchmen in North Point, holding official positions within the triad. Lin Fu, on the other hand, was merely Ye Tian's henchman, without even an official position, at best a low-ranking member. Logically, he should be the one addressing the other as "Brother," so why was it reversed?

Lin Fu looked at Ye Tian with a puzzled expression.

Ye Tian waved his hand: "Dafei, Pao Zai, you two are top members of Hung Hing, the rules can't be broken."

Dafei quickly said, "Brother Tian, ​​although you are young, you are of seniority here."

"You've been in the business for over a decade, while we're truly your juniors. Calling Mr. Lin 'Brother Fu' isn't an overstatement."

Greyhound nodded repeatedly, echoing Dafei's words.

Lin Fu found it increasingly strange. Da Fei and Greyhound were known in the underworld for their fearlessness; even Fatty Li couldn't control them. Why were they being so polite today?

Dafei seemed to sense Lin Fu's confusion. He suppressed the urge to pick his nose, straightened his back a bit, and explained to Ye Tian in a sincere tone, "Brother Tian, ​​the conflict between Mong Kok and North Point was all instigated by that bastard Fatty Lai."

"We were just dragged into this, and we had no intention of getting involved."

Greyhound quickly added, "Yesterday at the Gathering Hall, if we weren't from North Point and couldn't easily take action, we definitely would have joined in beating up Fatty Lai too."

Lin Fu then suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's how it is!

These two guys are here to make a statement. It seems the news of Fat Lai's attempt to appease them has already spread throughout the underworld. They're afraid Mong Kok will take their anger out on them, so they've quickly come to back down and state their position.

Ye Tian's expression suddenly turned serious, and his eyes became solemn.

Dafei and Greyhound's hearts skipped a beat, and their smiles froze. They wondered to themselves, "Did I say something wrong? Is Ye Tian going to turn on me?"

"We're all brothers from the same gang, after all." Ye Tian spoke slowly. "Is Mong Kok's reputation really that bad in the underworld?"

"I, Ye Tian, ​​have been in the underworld for over a decade. In your eyes, am I just someone who doesn't distinguish right from wrong and randomly takes my anger out on others?"

Dafei and Greyhound's expressions instantly relaxed, and they quickly put on smiles: "Brother Tian, ​​what are you saying? Who in the underworld doesn't know that Brother Kun and Brother Tian from Mong Kok are the most loyal and righteous?"

"That fat bastard Lai has really ruined North Point. Now everyone in the underworld is laughing at us, and we have nowhere to hide our faces."

Lin Fu quickly picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for the three of them.

Ye Tian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Fatty Li's matter is ultimately an internal affair between our two branches. Fortunately, it didn't escalate for long, and it didn't become too much of a laughing stock for outsiders."

Dafei and Greyhound smiled bitterly to themselves. Mong Kok had gained prestige through this battle. But North Point's reputation had been completely ruined by Fatty Lai. What gang couldn't even last half a day in a fight? They were a laughingstock in the underworld. If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. They were incredibly unlucky to have such a stupid boss as Fatty Lai.

To be honest, they were genuinely terrified by Mong Kok's ruthless methods. They had been cautious beforehand, forbidding their men from interfering in the conflict for three days. Looking back, they were truly thankful. In just a few hours, Fat Lai had lost tens of millions. If it were them, they would be heartbroken. Ye Tian was simply a jinx; they couldn't afford to mess with him, absolutely not. Therefore, upon receiving the news, they immediately rushed over to express their stance to Ye Tian.

The two sighed inwardly, realizing they would never be able to stand up to Ye Tian again. It was all that idiot Fatty Li's fault; if it weren't for him, they wouldn't be in this situation.

As Brother Kun said, if you're wrong, you have to admit it; if you get hit, you have to stand up straight. That's the rule of the underworld.

"North Point is such a big area, but Fat Lai has managed it terribly."

"To say he's hogging the toilet without doing his business is an understatement."

As Ye Tian sipped his tea, he spoke slowly, his tone tinged with regret.

"Even though I'm from Mong Kok, looking at the two of you makes me feel so frustrated."

Dafei and Greyhound's hearts skipped a beat.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes! Ye Tian's words had a hidden meaning! It seemed he... wasn't planning to let Fatty Li go?

Ye Tian seemed to see through their thoughts and smiled faintly: "Don't overthink it."

"I'm from Mong Kok, not North Point. There's no need for me to meddle in other people's business."

"I'm not one of the twelve hall masters either. I just felt it wasn't worth it for you two."

"Why does that fat guy Li think he can ride roughshod over you?"

"Just because he's of a higher generation?"

"Among the leaders of our Hung Hing triad, there are senior figures like Pak-kei and Kei-ge. Look at how they treat their juniors! How can Fat Lai compare?"

A surge of warmth welled up in Dafei and Greyhound's hearts. Ye Tian's words had truly touched their souls.

That's right!

What gives Fat Lai the right to be the leader of the North Point gang and act like a tyrant over them?

Dafei, quick-witted, tentatively said, "Brother Tian, ​​everyone in the underworld knows you have connections everywhere, and you're well-connected in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

"Do you... know some inside information?"

Ye Tian smiled, his tone somewhat mysterious: "If you hadn't come in person today, I would never have said this."

Dafei and Greyhound's eyes widened, and they quickly said, "Brother Tian, ​​please tell us! We'll definitely keep it a secret!"

"From now on, we brothers will remember this favor you've done!"

Ye Tian put down his teacup and clapped his hands: "Alright, then I'll tell you some news."

"Fatty Li has actually been dissatisfied with his position as the head of the hall for a long time."

Big Fei and Greyhound were startled, their faces filled with disbelief. Fatty Lai was already the leader of the North Point gang, the highest position an ordinary gangster could reach. He wasn't satisfied? Did he want to... take the top spot? That idea was too outrageous! The two were filled with doubt and simply couldn't believe it.

Ye Tian noticed their doubts and explained, "Fatty Li, who sells pornographic magazines, should be grateful to Jiang Tiansheng for being able to sit in the position of the twelfth hall master."
