On the third floor, a burly man with a full beard and mustache strode up the stairs, followed by a group of henchmen.
Bā Tiān Hǔ!
He had been the overlord of the underground forces years ago, possessing the greatest power, and many factions had suffered his suppression and intimidation.
It could be said that this man's reputation was infamous.
Seeing him appear again, the several major figures of the underground forces present could not help but change their expressions.
Bā Tiān Hǔ walked forward, smiling brightly, "How can the meeting of the underground forces be complete without me, Bā Tiān Hǔ?"
He looked at the displeased Liu Ruomei and Liu Zhendong, a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, and chuckled, "I am not satisfied with the voting results, so let's vote again!"
"How about this, to make it simple, whoever is willing to let me become the spokesperson for the underground forces, raise your hand!"
After Bā Tiān Hǔ finished speaking with a smile, Guo Hai, who was sitting in a chair, immediately raised his hand, "I am willing!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Guo Hai.
Liu Ruomei also frowned. This Guo Hai indeed has issues!
Liu Zhendong immediately couldn't help but curse, "Guo Hai, you beast, so it was you who leaked the news!"
This meeting between the factions was originally a secret assembly, as they intended to unite and deal with Bā Tiān Hǔ.
However, Bā Tiān Hǔ had received the news and found his way here, so someone must have leaked the information.
Seeing Guo Hai stand out like a lackey, everyone understood that this fellow had long since switched sides!
Guo Hai did not argue. So what if he leaked it?
He didn't care who became the spokesperson for the underground forces, as long as he could benefit!
In the hall!
Everyone looked at the arrogant Bā Tiān Hǔ with displeased and fearful expressions.
Elder Nie, sitting at the head of the table, couldn't help but speak, "Bā Tiān Hǔ, you weren't notified for this assembly, so don't cause trouble here. Haven't you already made the underground forces chaotic enough?"
"So Elder Nie is also here!"
Bā Tiān Hǔ showed surprise and walked up enthusiastically, "Elder Nie is an elder of our underground forces. It's been a long time."
Elder Nie frowned, about to say something, but then his expression changed, "You!"
"Pfft!"
Elder Nie's eyes widened. He looked down at his chest and saw a dagger piercing his chest.
Bā Tiān Hǔ coldly withdrew the dagger and muttered, "Old man, I've disliked you for a long time! You were always bossing me around, and you couldn't just live out your old age peacefully, you had to seek death!"
Elder Nie spat out a mouthful of blood, his aged body falling to the ground, instantly killed.
"Elder Nie!"
The expressions of all the major figures present changed drastically. Liu Zhendong stood up and roared, "Bā Tiān Hǔ, how dare you kill Elder Nie!"
Elder Nie was, after all, a respected elder of everyone. To be killed by Bā Tiān Hǔ as soon as he arrived was something no one had expected.
For a moment, the two sides were at daggers drawn.
Bā Tiān Hǔ pulled out a tissue, wiped the blood from the dagger, and said with a half-smile, "Some foolish things that don't know their place are dead! Do any of you have any objections?"
Before anyone could speak, he continued, "Since everyone is here, I, Bā Tiān Hǔ, will announce something in front of everyone!"
"From today onwards, the underground forces will be dominated by me, Bā Tiān Hǔ. You will all follow me from now on!"
Arrogant!
Disdainful of others!
This was the impression Bā Tiān Hǔ gave everyone at the moment. This fellow was not satisfied with controlling half of the underground forces, and he actually wanted to dominate the entire underground world.
While they were fearful, they couldn't help but turn hostile at this moment.
At this time, Liu Ruomei stood up, her expression grim, "Bā Tiān Hǔ, are you not planning to leave anyone a way out?"
Bā Tiān Hǔ shrugged and smiled, "I did. If you agree to me, I'll spare your lives. That's the way out!"
He looked up at Liu Ruomei, the corner of his mouth curving, "Liu Ruomei, we haven't settled our score from six years ago! If you and the others surrender to me, this debt can be written off!"
"Otherwise, none of you present today will be able to leave!"
"..." Hearing his arrogant tone, everyone was indignant.
One of the leaders couldn't help but slam the table, "Bā Tiān Hǔ, you are too much! At worst, we'll fight you to the death!"
The two henchmen behind him immediately drew their knives and charged forward.
However, a strong and sturdy man behind Bā Tiān Hǔ stepped out, grinning as he met them.
With one hand, he grabbed the necks of the two henchmen and squeezed them hard.
"Crack!" A crisp sound!
The two henchmen brought by that leader rolled their eyes and died instantly!
Silence!
The entire hall fell silent. Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. They were not on the same level at all.
It was rumored that Bā Tiān Hǔ's comeback to stir up trouble in the underground forces was due to his six powerful subordinates, collectively known as the 'Six Vajras'.
And the strong man who made the move just now was clearly one of those Six Vajras.
Although everyone was still very angry, they could only dare to be angry but not speak.
Bā Tiān Hǔ laughed heartily, "Now can we talk properly? Don't expect any help from your subordinates downstairs. They've already been controlled by my men!"
At these words, everyone's face changed.
Liu Ruomei's expression also became extremely grim. Bā Tiān Hǔ had indeed come prepared, clearly confident they were finished!
If they refused, given this fellow's character, there would likely be a bloody battle here today!
But if they agreed, they would truly become fish on Bā Tiān Hǔ's chopping block, at his mercy.
"Big sister! I'll fight them later, you escape!" Liu Zhendong whispered.
"Don't be rash!" Liu Ruomei shook her head.
Bā Tiān Hǔ had come with a purpose today, and he definitely had more than one strong subordinate. Even if they could escape, she didn't want Liu Zhendong to take such a risk.
The hall was silent for a moment!
Bā Tiān Hǔ scanned the surroundings and finally snorted, "I'll give you one more minute. Those who agree can stay, and those who don't, don't blame me for not giving them a way out!"
His meaning was clear: those who agreed would be spared their lives, and those who refused, he would kill directly!
Several leaders of the underground forces were sweating profusely. Faced with such a tense atmosphere and pressure, they were almost suffocating.
Finally, one leader sighed, with humiliation and unwillingness, "I am willing..."
"Boom!"
Before this leader could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking downstairs, followed by a clamor.
Bā Tiān Hǔ turned back and roared, "What's going on?"
Soon, at the staircase entrance, Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked up step by step, while several of Bā Tiān Hǔ's henchmen were being forced back.
Seeing this young man, Bā Tiān Hǔ's pupils contracted, and his expression turned grim, "Who are you?"
"Ye Cangtian!"
