Qiao Ba held the yellowed scroll in his hand, concentrating on reading the precious words left by his ancestors.
At the beginning of his fortieth year, he began to curb his murderous intention and cultivate his Buddhist heart.
Before the age of forty, Qiao Ba thought that he was a man of extraordinary talents. He hoped that after the age of fifty, he could be called a man of civilized and martial virtue.
After forty years of hard work, plus another ten years of accumulation, Qiao Ba is not sure whether he can achieve thin hair, but he is working hard.
When a person lives, he must always have a goal and a hope to strive for. If a person has no ideals, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
This is such a bad and crude sentence, but it goes straight to the heart.
In recent years, Qiao Ba has gradually cultivated a Buddhist heart.
In previous years, he had a rough and arrogant temper, with a strong aura of heroism, as if he had a cruel label on his forehead.
But in recent years, he has learned to restrain himself, learn to be gentle, and learn to be calm. People who don't know him can easily regard him as a knowledgeable old scholar. He puts on gold-rimmed glasses and walks into the classroom of a famous university in the country.
On the podium, he can also intimidate those students who have no experience in the world.
Li Si admitted that Qiao Ba had cultivated an elegant atmosphere.
But he also believed that beneath Qiao Ba's gentle appearance, there was an evil heart hidden inside -
He is no longer violent because there is nothing worthy of his violence. He is no longer arrogant because no one is qualified to make him arrogant.
But in his chest, there is a bloodthirsty evil heart.
Once he tears open the elegant mask that has been polished for ten years, the fangs exposed will be extremely sharp and ferocious. Li Si deeply believes in this.
"The three parties are well prepared, and I'm afraid they are going to fight Scar and his gang to death." Li Si reported the situation in the North District in detail. He felt that Qiao Ba had become more and more cunning and far-sighted in his tactics in recent years.
His promise to the three eldest brothers was completely empty words. But it allowed these three eldest brothers to go against Lin Ze, and in the end they were destroyed and even killed by Lin Ze——
Until now, the three parties are completely opposed to Scar and have formed an alliance to compete.
The reason for everything is just the picture scroll that Qiao Ba unfolded and the castles in the air he sketched for them after half an hour's conversation with the three regional brothers.
Is it awesome?
sharp.
Li Si has followed Qiao for more than eighty years and witnessed his struggle, rise, rise to power, and his current transformation.
Frankly speaking, sometimes Li Si stared blankly at Qiao Ba who was sitting at his desk reading. He felt in a daze that Qiao Ba was not the overlord who ruled the underground world of Huaxin City at all, but was just a scholar who was both internal and external. An old scholar with a rich background and temperament.
But this thought was fleeting and even made Li Si feel a little scared.
What kind of tempering and nurturing does a person have to go through before he can disguise himself from a devil to an angel?
Li Si didn't know, he only knew that Qiao Ba's realm was about to reach perfection.
"A mad dog and a wild wolf with no fangs are biting each other. I'm not interested in the outcome at all." Qiao Ba said calmly and turned the book to the next page.
Li Si was stunned for a moment, pondering the meaning of Qiao Ba's words.
The mad dog is probably the three parties. Having lost their backbone, they are indeed a mad dog.
The wild wolf with its fangs uncovered is probably describing Lin Ze, right?
Besides Lin Ze, who else is qualified to be the wild wolf in the eyes of overlord Qiao Ba?
After a moment of silence, Li Si asked softly: "Should we do something secretly? The chess pieces you have deployed in the North District in the past few years may be able to fan the flames of this fight."
"Let's see first." Qiao Ba said casually. "I don't think a wild wolf is willing to bite a mad dog. Not only is this not a wise move, it will also look very stupid."
Li Si was surprised and said no more.
————
As Lin Ze said, after three days of crazy fighting, the three parties showed signs of waning. Compared with the initial retaliation like hungry wolves and tigers, they were obviously weaker.
In three days of fighting, Scar's side lost over a hundred men. Most of them were arrested by the police, and a small number were sent to the hospital. The death toll was extremely low. If Scar hadn't become so popular recently, many boys from the North District joined his banner.
The loss this time was enough for Scar to return to primitive society overnight. But even though Scar is now a strong man, losing so many people in three days is still quite painful. He has already eaten the eighteen generations of the ancestors of those madmen.
Scolded all over.
While losing a large number of manpower, Scar also had many venues closed. It was a double blow to him.
But in the end, after three days of intense fighting, it became a sporadic fire that could hardly start a prairie fire.
Scar feels distressed about the loss, and the three parties feel equally distressed. Most of those gangsters have their own fields and manpower, and it is appropriate to avenge the boss. But if they were completely eliminated in this long-term tug-of-war just for the sake of extortion, they would be completely eliminated.
Nor was they willing. So in the next few days, they adopted roundabout tactics, occasionally harassed, and had a small fierce fight, which was regarded as a continuation of this fierce fight. It did not prevent them from continuing to make money and save capital to make a comeback——
In about a week, not only were the various forces on the North District Road shaken, but the police were also exhausted. On the one hand, they maintained law and order, and on the other hand, they were troubled by this gang of murderous gangsters.
Are you all crazy?
Do you really think you are hanging around out of loyalty and popularity?
Please, we are all grown up now, so why can’t we support our family honestly?
Scar picked the right moment. When the slightly tired gang of gangsters had stopped and wanted to regroup and make plans again, Scar sent out a duel letter.
The news spread throughout the North District and even the entire underground world of Huaxin City in an instant.
What is a duel letter? Everyone on the street in Huaxin knows it. It is an open fight, a life and death battle to resolve large-scale conflicts and grievances. Only when the grievances are deep and difficult to resolve, both parties will take this approach.
to solve the problem.
But in the decades of history of Huaxin City, a group of gangs that took this approach almost always lost both sides and were removed from the road.
There is no other reason - such a vicious fight, a final fight of this nature, can consume almost all the power of a gang. After a fierce fight, it is difficult to survive in Huaxin City.
So as soon as Scar sent out this signal, the three parties were shocked.
But, can you retreat?
cannot.
They started the fight. Now that the other party has issued a duel letter, it will be difficult for them to be proud in Huaxin City if they back down. Even if they win this fierce battle, the North District will be their world in the future.
It's worth it to use all your wealth to fight for your future.
The three parties responded to Scar the next day and stated that they would fight to the death with him in the Blackwater area three days later.
Of course, the time and place of the duel are kept extremely confidential. The young man who sent the message was also deported that day and will not be able to return to the country for at least three years.
So even though everyone knew that both sides were in final preparations for war, no one knew when and where they would fight. There was no chance to even watch.
Heishui District is the most famous Sangui area in Huaxin City. It is also the place where Scorpion became famous in Huaxin City. Because it is located at the junction of the North and South Districts, some violent incidents often occur. The superiors have repeatedly made efforts to eliminate them, but
Due to various reasons, it is difficult to achieve practical results. In recent years, the public security in Heishui District has improved significantly. Although petty thefts have been reported frequently, no major troubles have occurred.
Furthermore, the Blackwater area is mostly in the wilderness, making it easy to find unnoticed fight locations.
Lin Ze held a cigarette in his mouth, narrowed his eyes and glanced at the more than 20 former members of the Little Knife Club standing in front of him. He held a glass of white wine in his hand, slowly raised it, and said calmly: "This firefight will be a...
In a life-and-death battle, maybe many of you will not be able to come back. I won’t say insulting words about people who don’t want to go, so they can stay. I just want to ask you: Do you have the confidence to come back?”
"Yes!" More than 20 people led by Madman Yao shouted in unison.
"It's good to have them." Lin Ze flicked the ashes of his cigarette skillfully and said with a calm expression. "These are the only people left in Brother No. 100 back then. I don't want anyone to leave the team early again."
More than 20 people all had tears in their eyes. How could they forget that every time the Little Knife Club had a large-scale fight, hundreds of people gathered together with great momentum. That aura and that scene are still unforgettable.
But what about now? There are only a few twenty people left and half of them are injured. How desolate and sad is this scene?
Lin Ze raised his head and drank the liquor, and said boldly: "Today is the day when the Little Knife Club will regain its prestige. Don't let the brothers over there laugh at us!" He smashed the cup with all his strength.
There was a crackling sound, and Lin Ze left the room alone.
However, Lao Yao and others did not follow him out. Instead, they looked for chairs to sit down. They took out the knives from their waists, touched them very affectionately, and whispered softly.
"Old friend, this time, I think he is really going to come out."
"Man, you don't blame me for not using you for so long, do you?"
"Brother, I will never abandon you again. I still have a lot of things to do. Are you willing to accompany me?"
No one can understand the feelings of the core members of this gang towards this knife without seeing it with their own eyes.
This knife is not only their fighting weapon, but also contains their feelings for the Knife Club. They miss the glorious Knife Club so much——
In the room, the swords were shining brightly, and there was an icy atmosphere. All the members of the Little Sword Society fell into deep thought, as if they were remembering or mourning.
It wasn't until the priest and the butcher stood up that the members of the Knife Society all stood up and put the sharp knife into their waists.
"It's time for Xiao Dao Club to stand up again." The priest opened his mouth and simply uttered two words. "Let's go!"
