Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

Ding Lie, who had been busy all night working on the burning of Ding's Jewelry Store, went completely mad upon seeing this letter!

"Jiang Wangzu!"

"You fucking want to die!"

Ding Lie was furious.

He desperately wanted to fight Jiang Wangzu to the death, but he knew that Jiang Wangzu was an extremely powerful martial artist and that he was no match for him.

Even when Du Chengye, the young marshal from the family of the Shanghai military governor, sent a pistol squad, they were unable to kill him.

But this matter absolutely cannot be left like this!

"Bring Liang Zheng, the president of the Honghui, to see me!"

Ding Lie gritted his teeth and said to his servants, his face so gloomy it was almost as if water could seep out.

Ding's Jewelry Store was destroyed, and he suffered heavy losses.

But this was not enough to seriously damage him.

What truly angered him was Jiang Wangzu's retaliatory response.

This shows that they completely disregarded Ding Lie.

If he doesn't retaliate with swift and decisive measures, his prestige as the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce will be completely undermined, and who will be able to trust him in the future?

at the same time.

The canal gang urgently convened a meeting of its standing elders.

Jiang Wangzu was invited to attend the hearing.

It's not because Jiang Wangzu has a high position; it's because today's meeting is for him.

"Ah Zu, you're being too hasty!"

"Is the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce someone to be trifled with?"

Master Dai Qinghe sighed and spoke.

"Those warlords called our canal gang 'chamber pots,' which, while useful, was too vulgar. In the open, we could only handle their dirty business."

"This Honghui is actually just a chamber pot for Shanghai's tycoons."

"By targeting Ding Lie's jewelry store, you've essentially slapped Ding Lie in the face. You'll likely be facing the wrath of the Hong Society now!"

"Elder Jiang, you're dragging the entire Canal Gang down with you!"

Qin Qiye, Qin Zhenchuan, the old man, spoke with an air of composure.

Xu Shanyue and Gu Changqing did not speak, but neither of them spoke up for Jiang Wangzu.

Just a few days ago, Xu Shanyue was asking Jiang Wangzu how he planned to resolve the dispute with the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

But when I looked at his solution today, I was surprised to find out how he actually solved it.

Is this the right way to solve the problem?

This is going to provoke a bloody battle between the two major gangs in the lower city.

It could even cause the Shanghai financial magnates and the warlords behind their shipping guilds to become adversaries.

It's important to know that many warlords are funded by financial magnates, and they are absolutely unwilling to break ties with these magnates.

Since they don't want to break ties with the conglomerates, then perhaps the only option is to sacrifice Jiang Wangzu!

Give me three days.

"Ding Lie will die within three days!"

"The Honghui gathering will also cease to exist!"

"I will give 30% of Honghui's territory and business to the gang."

Jiang Wangzu said something that was sure to shock people.

"Elder Jiang, do you think this is just some low-level thugs fighting over territory?"

"If Ding Lie dies, the entire city of Shanghai will be devastated."

"You also want to destroy the Honghui?"

"The Honghui is a major gang comparable to the Caobang, with over a thousand core disciples and tens of thousands of members. Do you really think your security company's mere thousand-plus people can handle it?"

Cao Rongsheng, the Third Master Cao, couldn't help but speak up as well.

Although he looked down on Jiang Wangzu, he didn't want Jiang Wangzu to act so irrationally.

Because Jiang Wangzu is now an elder of the Canal Gang, he represents the face of their gang.

If his antics succeed, all will be well; but if he fails, the entire Cao Gang will suffer the wrath of the Honghui and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, a host of wealthy tycoons.

Even the Grand Canal Gang couldn't afford it!

"Jiang Wangzu, you're trying to drag the entire Canal Gang down with you!"

"If the Grand Canal Gang declines because of you, then you are a sinner against the Grand Canal Gang."

"Even if you die, you will have no face to meet the founding masters of the Canal Gang!"

"The only way forward now is for us old folks to swallow our pride and act as matchmakers for you. You need to go to Ding Lie, apologize profusely, and offer him sufficient compensation. Only then can you get through this crisis!"

Qian Dongjiang, the Fifth Master Qian, spoke with a solemn expression.

"I'm afraid we're not shameless enough; Ding Lie really wants Elder Jiang dead!"

Master Meng, Meng Boyang, shook his head, appearing indifferent and aloof.

"Azu, I know you're quite strong, but you can't kill Ding Lie."

"There is a martial arts master guarding the Ding mansion. Don't even mention you, even if I went there, I would be doomed."

"Why do you think Ding Lie was able to secure the position of president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce at just over forty years old?"

"Besides the legacy of his ancestors and his own shrewdness and competence, the most important thing is that his family has a martial arts master in charge."

"Ever since Ding Lie took the position of president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, this martial arts master has been stationed at the Ding Mansion."

"He has killed countless people who tried to assassinate Ding Lie. With him around, even a martial arts grandmaster would never be able to kill Ding Lie."

"Moreover, there are hundreds of gunmen patrolling around the Ding Mansion day and night, as well as snipers. Such impenetrable defenses far surpass even those of the Shanghai government building."

After a long silence, Xu Shanyue finally spoke up.

He looked at Jiang Wangzu with a hint of regret.

He knew Jiang Wangzu's talent and abilities.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Wangzu would become so arrogant after becoming an elder of the Caobang.

This time, things are unlikely to end well.

Ding Lie declared that Jiang Wangzu should die.

Their canal gang might not survive.

Even if he insisted on protecting him, the warlords behind his canal gang probably wouldn't agree.

This incident has had a huge and terrible impact!

"Uncle Xu, Ding Lie has a martial arts grandmaster behind him, so why don't I?"

"I told you, Ding Lie will die within three days, and the Hong Society will vanish into thin air!"

Jiang Wangzu said something that was sure to shock people.

Upon hearing Jiang Wangzu's words, Xu Shanyue and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Is there a martial arts master behind Jiang Wangzu?

There are only a handful of martial arts masters in Shanghai, so who is the person behind him?

"Yes."

"This kid, Ah Zu, rose from a scoundrel to a high-ranking figure in a short time, and his martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I would never believe that he didn't have a master behind him."

"Martial arts training requires a gradual approach. I was wondering why this kid's martial arts level had improved so rapidly."

"So there was a martial arts master standing behind him!"

Gu Changqing filled in the blanks himself, and the logic was self-consistent.

"Is there a martial arts grandmaster standing behind Jiang Wangzu?"

"So, rounding up, doesn't that mean there's a martial arts grandmaster behind their gang?"

Even the four executive elders—Cao Rongsheng, Meng Boyang, Qian Dongjiang, and Qin Zhenchuan—who had only a casual relationship with Jiang Wangzu, began to subtly change their gazes towards him.

Although times have changed with the introduction of Western firearms, the status of ordinary martial artists, even martial arts masters like Xu Shanyue, has plummeted.

However, martial arts masters remain detached from worldly affairs.

As long as they don't want to die, they can calmly leave even if they are surrounded and attacked with firearms.

Moreover, they were all top-notch assassins, capable of slaying generals and capturing flags on the battlefield, and reaping the benefits of powerful figures off the battlefield, making them invincible.

Any force that has a martial arts grandmaster in charge will have a superior deterrent power.

"Since you're so confident, then we'll wait and see!"

"If there's anything the gang needs to do, just let us know."

"I believe none of the elders have any objections?"

Xu Shanyue looked at everyone and spoke.

Cao Rongsheng and the others all shook their heads slightly.

nonsense!

Jiang Wangzu even brought up the martial arts grandmaster, so how could they dare to object?
