The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 400 Times Have Changed
"Young man, you'll have your day of aging too. Leave a little leeway for others, and you'll meet again someday!"
"If you're not convinced, then fight! Enough of this nonsense. Let you street punks know how powerful this old man still is!"
Hearing Luo Yingxiong's sarcastic words, Lao K's group of uncles couldn't stand it any longer.
They were all out on the streets, with fiery tempers that ignited easily. Even in their old age, they couldn't tolerate such mockery.
"Tsk, tsk..."
Luo Yingxiong faced the group of angry uncles with disdain. "You old geezers relying on your age, wanting to start a fight? I'll gladly oblige. With your kind of trash, I can take on a hundred of you!"
The uncles couldn't endure such humiliation and were about to charge forward. Even the one in the wheelchair started up the motor.
However, Huo Shui Ge stopped them. "Brothers, calm down. Times have changed. Now we talk about harmony being precious. The martial world isn't just about fighting; it's about relationships!"
Then, Huo Shui Ge stepped out from the crowd and cupped his fist towards Luo Yingxiong.
"Young man, I've heard so much about you. I've long heard that Lao He has a very righteous Double Flower Red Pole. Seeing you today, you're truly extraordinary!"
Luo Yingxiong stared at him coldly. "Say what you need to say, and cut the crap. Don't beat around the bush with me!"
"Damn it, Luo Yingxiong, how dare you talk to my boss like that? Believe it or not, I'll hack you to death right now!"
Hua Ge was furious. Huo Shui Ge had treated him well, so how could he stand by and watch Huo Shui Ge being humiliated?
"Shut up, Ah Hua!"
Huo Shui Ge roared, stopping Ah Hua.
"Boss..."
Hua Ge's eyes were full of resentment, but in the end, it only turned into a helpless sigh.
After Huo Shui Ge dealt with Hua Ge, he said to Luo Yingxiong, "Brother Yingxiong, the dead cannot be brought back to life. I've already asked around. My brother only accidentally killed your gang's brother. It wasn't directed at Lao He's reputation. Please give Huo Shui some face, and let's turn big problems into small problems, and small problems into nothing!"
"Old man, you're just an old dog in my eyes. What face do you have?"
Luo Yingxiong sneered, arms crossed.
Hua Ge's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Huo Shui Ge was still Lao K's leader, yet he addressed a thug from Lao He as "brother." This was already lowering his status.
Who would have thought that even after Huo Shui Ge had been so tolerant, the other side would become even more arrogant!
"Hehe, you're right. I, Huo Shui, am just an old dog now, with no face to speak of. But if I give the Kwun Tong territory to you Lao He, would that be enough to wipe out this one life?"
Huo Shui Ge pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said casually.
However, his casual words stirred up a huge storm.
"That won't do, Boss! Kwun Tong is our Lao K's base. How can we give it to Lao He?"
"Boss, if Kwun Tong is gone, our Lao K can completely disband."
"Boss, please think twice..."
Everyone unanimously opposed Huo Shui Ge's words.
Even Hua Ge said, "Boss, a life for a life. Turn me in. Kwun Tong is Lao K's last territory. The Lao K gang has been around for so many years, and it can't be disbanded because of me. I don't want to be a sinner of Lao K!"
As soon as Hua Ge finished speaking, Huo Shui Ge glared at him. "You fool, if we lose the territory, we'll just fight to get it back!"
"My former boss, Jiang Niu (Stubborn Bull), often said something to me. He told me to remember it: Lao K has never been about any particular territory. Lao K is a group of people!"
"I joined Lao K when I was fifteen years old. When it comes to my feelings for Lao K, no one can compare to me. But I know that if we give up the territory, Lao K won't fall apart. Only when people's hearts are scattered will Lao K fall apart!"
"I'm the leader. If my brothers get into trouble and I don't stand up for them, then what will I use to convince people in the future? What will I use to win people's hearts?"
Huo Shui Ge's words were sonorous and forceful, and Hua Ge's eyes turned red again.
The uncles behind him remained silent.
The current martial world was no longer the same as before. Their kind of old-fashioned low-level gangsters were about to disappear from the martial world.
But they would never forget one sentence until their death: brotherhood and loyalty are worth a thousand gold!
"Tch~"
Luo Yingxiong sneered disdainfully. "Old man, are you done talking?"
"Let me tell you, even if you give us your Kwun Tong territory for free, we Lao He wouldn't want it. What era is it now? What's the use of having this territory? To be a valet parker?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, the money I earn in a day is enough for your entire Lao K to earn in a year!"
Hearing these words, Huo Shui Ge's face finally darkened.
"Young man, so there's no room for negotiation?"
"Damn, what's there to talk about with you old and useless things!"
Luo Yingxiong rolled his eyes and said.
"Since there's no room for negotiation, then let's fight! I'll hack you to death today, you street punk!"
Huo Shui Ge suddenly roared, reached behind him, pulled out a watermelon knife, and charged towards Luo Yingxiong.
Luo Yingxiong's face was full of disdain as he tightened the white cloth bandage wrapped around his arm and slowly walked towards Huo Shui Ge.
The group of underlings behind the two of them saw that their boss had moved, so they also took out their weapons, roaring, and charged towards the other side.
A large-scale street brawl was about to break out.
The surrounding shops closed their doors to avoid being hit by these gangsters.
This kind of large-scale brawl involving hundreds of people was rare in Hong Kong. The participants were all excited and their blood was pumping!
Luo Yingxiong and Huo Shui Ge charged at the front of their respective teams, directly facing each other.
Seeing that Luo Yingxiong didn't even bring a weapon, Huo Shui Ge felt that he was being looked down upon and became even more irritable and angry.
"You street punk, I'll hack you to death with one slash!"
Huo Shui Ge raised the watermelon knife high and slashed it down on Luo Yingxiong's head.
However, Luo Yingxiong was worthy of being a ten-time consecutive Muay Thai champion. His movements were extremely agile, and his judgment was extremely precise. With a slight movement of his body, he effortlessly dodged the slash.
Huo Shui Ge felt that he had clearly slashed at Luo Yingxiong, but in reality, the blade only grazed Luo Yingxiong.
Moreover, while dodging this slash, Luo Yingxiong also took the opportunity to launch an elbow strike, hitting Huo Shui Ge hard in the heart.
This one strike almost cost Huo Shui Ge his life.
To be honest, even Huo Shui Ge in his prime was no match for Luo Yingxiong, let alone now that he was old.
This elbow strike made Huo Shui Ge almost unable to breathe and froze in place.
Seeing Huo Shui Ge in this state, Luo Yingxiong grinned hideously. "Old man, go to hell!"
He threw a jab straight at Huo Shui Ge's face.
He knew that if this punch hit, even if the old man didn't die, he would become a vegetable.
However, just as he was about to hit Huo Shui Ge, a black shadow darted out from the side...
