Zhou Kai had made adjustnts; Monk was a strength-based opponent, so a head-on confrontation would be pointless. Even if he won, Zhou Kai feared he himself might get injured. Therefore, Zhou Kai decided to use so techniques against Monk.
Monk, on the other hand, was inherently a powerhouse, wielding a Guan Dao, so he decided to confront Zhou Kai with even greater force.
After so tussling, Monk realized sothing was amiss. Zhou Kai seed to no longer clash directly with him but maneuvered around him instead. This left Monk feeling frustrated and helpless. Being naturally bulky and handling a Guan Dao weighing around fifty to sixty pounds made movent cumberso. Now Zhou Kai was darting around him like a monkey, making Monk lose his target entirely.
Zhou Kai's lips curled into a sinister smile, he sneered and said, "Monk, taste my axe!"
As Monk turned around, a dark axe already cleaved towards his shoulder blade.
Monk was shocked; he hurriedly grabbed the handle of his Guan Dao to block Zhou Kai's attack. Zhou Kai's right-hand axe ca chopping down fiercely, overwhelming Monk and leaving him breathless.
Thud...
To Monk's surprise, while he was distracted, Zhou Kai's left-hand blade quickly chopped down. Monk had nowhere to hide and was heavily thrown out.
"Ouch…" Monk scread in agony.
The axe didn't draw blood, as Zhou Kai's blade had shifted direction while chopping down. The backside of the axe struck his shoulder. Although bloodless, the pain was intense.
Monk was heavily thrown out.
"Big brother." Monk's subordinates hurried over.
"Don't co over!" Monk shouted.
His subordinates imdiately stopped in their tracks. Monk slowly got up from the ground, gritting his teeth and holding his shoulder. Zhou Kai walked over and then extended his hand towards Monk.
"Get up," Zhou Kai said.
Monk glanced at Zhou Kai, his expression complicated. After hesitating for quite so ti, he finally took Zhou Kai's hand and rose from the ground.
"Don't think that your pretense will make surrender!" Monk snorted coldly.
"Whether you surrender or not has nothing to do with ," Zhou Kai shook his head disdainfully and said, "My purpose here today is to take back our territory. Of course, I admit I want to recruit you, but joining Feixiang Company is a huge platform for developnt. If you join us, we welco you, if not, I won't force you. I just want to tell you, if you join us, we'll treat you like a brother."
"Hmph, I'm not interested!" Monk shook his head.
"Then I won't force you," Zhou Kai smiled lightly, then added, "Night Color Bar, Kunlun Bar, Ben Se Bar... all seven bars, have your guys withdraw from there. Otherwise, don't bla our brothers for being inhospitable!"
"Don't push us too far!" Monk clenched his teeth in anger.
Zhou Kai smiled, "Always rember, it's a dog-eat-dog world."
"You'll never win hearts like this!" Monk angrily said.
"When Dongbei Tiger and Feng Taibao were in charge, I didn't see anyone complaining about them winning hearts," Zhou Kai sneered.
Monk was montarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, when Dongbei Tiger and Feng Taibao controlled the eastern district, no one ever faulted Dongbei Tiger or opposed the Thirteen Grand Protectors. Nowadays, Lin Chuan had defeated them and driven them away, yet he always felt uneasy, believing he deserved a share of the eastern district's territory. However, Monk had never considered how, when Feixiang Company and Dongbei Tiger were battling it out, he rely watched from the sidelines, taking advantage of the situation. Lin Chuan, with enormous effort, drove away the Thirteen Grand Protectors and eliminated Dongbei Tiger. Yet, Monk had the audacity to intervene.
Thinking this, Monk felt sowhat guilty.
Watching them evolve from a re few hooligans into such a powerful gang today, Monk felt a bit envious. In the past, Zhou Kai and his group were just third-rate hooligans in the eastern district. They even wanted to join him but were refused. Now, Zhou Kai and his crew were doing better than him, even contemplating recruiting him, which Monk internally resisted.
At that mont, Lu Dapao and his n surrounded all of Monk's subordinates.
"What are you doing, what do you want to do!"
"Let's fight them!"
Monk's gang seed very excited, especially when they saw that Lin Chuan's n had surrounded them and even wanted to take back the territory they had worked hard to acquire. They were not ready to give up easily.
"Stop!" At this mont, Monk shouted loudly.
"Uh..." Monk's gang were stunned, and soone said, "Brother, let's fight them, we might not necessarily lose to them!"
The situation at the scene had ford a sharp contrast.
Although Monk had seventy to eighty people, this ti Lin Chuan's numbers were several tis greater than his own, with a significant difference in manpower alone. Moreover, most of Lin Chuan's gang had undergone three months of military training. Every one of them was not only physically strong but also had mastered so basic combat skills. So, if a fight broke out, Monk's n would definitely lose.
"Shut up!" Monk knew the odds.
"Big Brother…" Soone anxiously looked at Monk.
"It's okay, we're outmatched, that's it." Monk sighed deeply and said, "At worst we'll go sowhere else. I can't believe that in such a big country as China, there wouldn't be a place for our brothers to stay!"
Monk's gang seed very helpless.
At this mont, Lin Chuan walked over slowly and said, "Brother Monk, we're all locals, why leave? We are willing to accept you with a generous heart, why not stay? I believe your n don't want to leave Jiangbei City either. Since that's the case, I think joining us would be the best option. Moreover, I guarantee in my brotherhood's na that our gang will treat your n as our own brothers. How about it?"
"Easy for you to say." Monk said disdainfully, "Once I really join you, I fear you might show your true colors."
"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "You all have legs, how could we stop you from leaving if you want to?"
"This..." Monk was stunned for a mont.
At this ti, Lin Chuan took the opportunity to say, "Brother Monk, as the leader, who doesn't want his n to have als and prosperity? Every gangster hopes to prosper. But if you give up the foundation in Jiangbei City and go sowhere else to start anew, the future is unclear. While you are willing, your brothers may not have the strength."
Monk's heart wavered sowhat.
"Monk, trust , our brothers will definitely treat you as our own family," Zhou Kai earnestly said, "Our gang's motto is, those who bully our brothers will always be bullied; those who hurt our brothers will always be killed!"
Monk's face flushed, deeply shaken by these words, isn't that what every gangster desires deep inside? Who wouldn't want such a brother? The kind who would stand by you without hesitation when you're in trouble, or reach out to help you when you're down.
What is a brother? A brother is soone you walk with for life, facing hardships and enjoying blessings together, sharing pain and tears. Soone whose absence makes you sadder than a heartbreak because you've laughed, cried, acted crazy, silly, drunk, and hurt together, bled and fought alongside, chased won with.
Everyone hopes to have such a brother. Many people co into one's life, but finding a true brother is not easy.
Monk hesitated for a long ti, but eventually, he extended his hand and said, "Alright, I'll join, I'm willing to join you."
"Haha..." At this mont, Zhou Kai laughed heartily and said, "That's right, joining us is definitely not a bad thing for you!"
The two n clasped their hands tightly, bumped fists, and then bumped shoulders.
Hugging each other, this is a form of camaraderie among brothers, it's also a form of belief among brothers.
Monk imdiately burst into hearty laughter and said, "Zhou Kai, I'm really sorry about the incident with Liu Cheng."
"It's nothing!" Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "No fight, no acquaintance. Haha..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
