The words were spoken with a hard edge, but when looking at Li Yan, there was already a hint of caution in his eyes.
"Gang leader Zhang, please go ahead!"
Li Yan smiled slightly and gestured with his hand.
"Humph!"
Zhang Tiankui snorted coldly, endured the pain, and limped into the guild hall.
The old shopkeeper of the Jinzhou Guild Hall was very perceptive, had already arranged a tea room for them, instructed soone to serve hot tea, and then closed the wooden door, driving away everyone who was watching the commotion.
Soon, the tea room beca very quiet.
"Humph!"
Zhang Tiankui gritted his teeth, "Today, I admit defeat, do with as you please."
Li Yan chuckled, "If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have the chance to see ."
Zhang Tiankui's face turned ugly, but after the earlier incident, he knew Li Yan's words were not a lie, so he said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
"Why rush?"
Li Yan took a sip of tea carelessly and said, "I heard that gang leader Zhang has always opposed Yu Wenhai selling opium, is there such a thing?"
"Humph!"
Zhang Tiankui responded coldly, "That's right, Jinn is a place of mixed dragons and snakes. Jinghai Gang wants to establish itself, it must follow the principle of 'humbling soone with face' and 'killing soone must be secretive', but can't forget the pugilistic world's rule of 'leave so room for retreat'."
"That opium stuff, once soone gets addicted, they're ruined, it tarnishes reputation and destroys the brothers in the gang, it's bound to be a disaster sooner or later."
He then realized, "Did you step on the Hou family lane last night because of this?"
"It's not that simple."
Li Yan's gaze chilled slightly, "Yu Wenhai colluded with demons attempting to use opium to ruin Divine State's Qi Fortune."
"Tch!"
Zhang Tiankui said disdainfully, "You're just spouting nonsense, they're just small things, how could they ruin Divine State's Qi Fortune. In the pugilistic world, it's all about fa and fortune, whatever you want, just say it."
"I think you're the fool, disaster is looming, and you're unaware!"
A cold voice sounded, then Wang Baihu pushed the door open and entered.
Li Yan saw Zhang Tiankui's alertness and introduced with a smile, "This is Wang Baihu from the Captain Bureau."
"A court hound?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiankui's muscles tensed imdiately.
"Stop pretending!"
Wang Baihu knew what Li Yan wanted to do, cooperatively scolded, "Your Jinghai Gang is also working for Prince Ying Mansion, how is it different from being a guard dog? Now you've committed a capital cri and are unaware, even Prince Ying can't protect you!"
Zhang Tiankui glared, "Don't you dare try to scare !"
Though the words were fierce, the tone was not as strong anymore.
Jinghai Gang controls the Jinn Pier hub, it wouldn't just care about those small profits on the pier.
So things they've done in private, if not for Prince Ying, would've already warranted beheading several tis.
Now that even the Captain Bureau is mobilized, it's no small matter.
Li Yan's face beca somber, exuding a chilling killing intent.
He has now stepped into Dan Strength, though his Fist Intent and killing intent can't do as Cheng Jianxian's to kill from afar, it can still create a formidable sense of pressure.
At first, Zhang Tiankui's muscles tensed defensively, then cold sweat dripped from his forehead, finally closing his eyes, looking like he's resigned to his fate.
Suppressing him with the aura, Li Yan then spoke, "Do you know what I'm famous for?"
"I've heard, it's related to the 'Nine Tripod'..."
Before finishing the sentence, Zhang Tiankui turned pale, "That dog Yu Wenhai is plotting this too?!"
The matter of the Nine Tripod is little known by the people, but it's long been widely discussed in the Mystic Sect Sect.
More critically, the court's Xuan Sacrificial Officer just issued a warning, whoever dares to participate in this, regardless of who they are, will be killed without exception.
Engaging in this is akin to rebellion.
Two Vassal Kings have already died because of this, and definitely, Prince Ying Mansion can't afford to get involved.
"Mm."
Li Yan nodded, "Yu Wenhai has issues, but the specifics are not for you to know. Anyway, Jinghai Gang brought this upon themselves, there's already a path to death, chopping off all of your heads, the court will only approve."
"Plus, that opium is also a conspiracy of foreign enemies, you're guilty upon guilty!"
Zhang Tiankui's expression wavered, "What do you want to do?"
He knew that Li Yan spared his life today, surely he had a use for him.
"Simple!"
Li Yan said solemnly, "Jinghai Gang controls the Jinn Pier, tens of thousands of gang mbers, colluding with the Navy Camp. If that mutt Yu Wenhai acts out of desperation, deceives you into causing chaos, Jinn will surely be in great turmoil."
"I want you to seize the position of gang leader, control the situation, then only hold those involved accountable."
Zhang Tiankui's face darkened, "My godfather has treated well, if I seize the position, how will I have face in the future..."
"You'll lose your life, still talking about face?"
Wang Baihu said coldly, "By then, even if you're all dead, you won't leave a good na."
"Godfather surely doesn't know about this!"
Zhang Tiankui gritted his teeth and said, "He is secluded for training at the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the gang matters are all handled by Yu Wenhai, that opium is also obtained from foreign rchants by him, I'll go report to godfather and ask him to take charge of the situation..."
"You're a fool, how could Lu Jinghai not know?"
When Wang Baihu heard this, he angrily rebuked in a cold voice.
Li Yan's uproar at Hou family lane last night has already alerted Jinghai Gang.
Zhang Tiankui finding his way here ans the Twelve Primordial Spirits' entrance to Jinn is known by the Jianmu Demon.
The opponent has been planning in Jinn for a long ti, if they act, the consequences are unimaginable.
Originally intending to use Zhang Tiankui's hand to control the situation, didn't expect this fool to still have sentints.
"Humph, it's all your one-sided account!"
Being reprimanded by Wang Baihu, instead provoked Zhang Tiankui's rebellious spirit, and he began to act foolishly.
"Forget it."
Li Yan raised his hand to halt Wang Baihu, then spoke calmly, "Anyway, the words have been said, what path to take, gang leader Zhang decides for himself, but think it through."
"One wrong step, and it's an abyss of despair!"
Having said that, he picked up his tea cup and stopped paying attention.
Zhang Tiankui gritted his teeth, stopped speaking further, stood up and clasped his fists, striding out.
