Chapter 90 A meticulously planned selection of the hall master.
Chapter 90 A meticulously planned selection of the hall master.
It was clearly done without losing a single soldier.
They completely outmaneuvered the arrogant Jade Buddha.
"Big brother, what are we going to do next?"
Although the Jade Buddha suffered heavy losses, Chi Hu and his gang were unharmed. They were very cunning; knowing that the Jade Buddha was to be tricked, Chi Hu would never lead his men to fight to the death.
It's just for show.
It can be said that Chi Hu not only did not lose any of his men, but also won over many people from under Yu Fo.
They really did take both food and money.
If they were interested, they could have taken advantage of this opportunity to use the Red Tiger to trick the Jade Buddha again.
"No need!"
But Ye Tian waved his hand dismissively after hearing this.
Put down the intelligence information in your hand.
"Everything in excess is harmful. If there is truly no hope at all, that's what drives a person mad, turning them into a beast. It's precisely in such situations that we need to give them a glimmer of hope!"
If there is truly no hope left, the jade Buddha is definitely not someone who can settle down peacefully.
In any case, all the necessary preparations have been made. At this point, all you need to do is wait patiently for the results, and that's enough.
"clear!"
That's why Mei Yongning admires his eldest son's wisdom.
That's why they say someone else is the boss; if it were up to you, you definitely wouldn't have this peace of mind.

soon.
The day for electing the hall master had arrived, and Ye Tian, rarely leaving his own territory, traveled to the main hall by carriage.
The selection process took place at the Blackwater Gang's headquarters.
The election method was very simple; it was simply a vote. The other seven hall masters each had one vote, while the gang leader and deputy gang leader each had one vote, which seemed to be very fair.
But if it were truly that fair, there would be no such thing as giving money in advance.
Everyone had heard about the battle between the Jade Buddha, the Yaksha, and the Dragon Hand, but no one had paid any attention to it.
Gang rules? Those things are meant to restrain lower-level gang members.
Once you reach a certain point, and you're clean enough, nobody will care about you.
"Master, the position of hall master this time is definitely yours."
"That's right, that's right. I heard that Yaksha and Benlong Hand are now too busy to even take care of their own territories, and they don't even have time to compete with the main hall."
Perhaps he knew he had no chance of becoming the head of the hall.
The two of them simply gave up and focused on managing their own territories, lest they lose their original territories and not only fail to secure the position of hall master.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, the Jade Buddha was sitting in the carriage, listening to the compliments from his subordinates on both sides of the carriage. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
I'm in an exceptionally good mood.
Especially when he thought about how he was about to get the position of hall master that he had been longing for, he couldn't contain himself any longer.
"By the way, Master, I heard that Young Master Yu is also competing for the position of Hall Master this time. Could he pose a threat to Big Brother? Should we take care of him beforehand?"
"A fart threat."
The jade Buddha hadn't said anything yet.
Red Tiger, who had come along as well, couldn't help but retort.
"He's just a lucky young punk who got into the leadership position by luck. Does he think he can get into the head of the gang just by luck?"
"I heard he finally managed to take down the Tiger Shark Gang. What, do you think our Buddha would lose to such a greenhorn? Do you really need to resort to such underhanded methods?"
Chi Hu's words pleased Jade Buddha greatly.
He nodded calmly.
"Not bad, just a greenhorn, not worth taking seriously."
Even the Jade Buddha said so.
Even if the others around them still wanted to say something, they had no choice but to quiet down and obediently follow behind.
If we keep talking, the jade Buddha might get upset.
However, most people looked at Chi Hu with some dissatisfaction. They had never heard of him before. Was this Chi Hu such a good flatterer?
I've only been with the Jade Buddha for a few days, but it feels like Red Tiger has stolen all the limelight.
"Red Tiger!"
Then, the voice of the jade Buddha came from inside the carriage again.
"Buddha!"
"You've performed very well lately. Once I become the head of the hall, you'll be my leader!"
Regardless of what he was thinking, at least on the surface, Chi Hu immediately became excited after hearing those words.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely serve you diligently from now on, even at the cost of my life."
"Um!"
The Buddha nodded in satisfaction.
In an instant, the gazes of those around Chi Hu became increasingly filled with jealousy and resentment.
,,,
soon.
We've arrived at the headquarters of the Blackwater Gang.
Just as the jade Buddha arrived, Ye Tian's carriage also arrived.
The two stepped down from the carriage almost simultaneously and saw each other.
"Um?"
The jade Buddha frowned at first, but after confirming the other party's identity, it suddenly chuckled softly.
He made no attempt to hide the contempt in his laughter; since they were destined to be rivals, there was no need to show any courtesy.
After laughing.
Jade Buddha then led his men and walked openly into the main hall.
"Brother, that person is the Jade Buddha!"
Worried that Ye Tian might not recognize her, Mei Yongning quietly introduced her to Ye Tian.
"I can tell!"
He looks just like the Buddha; his name truly reflects his appearance.
Ye Tian also saw the Crimson Tiger beside the Jade Buddha. The two didn't even exchange glances, which was better to avoid the Jade Buddha noticing anything.
"Let's go. We're already this far; if we leave now, people will think I've been fooled!"
Done.
He then led Mei Yongning and Tie Quan and the others towards the main hall.
Honestly.
Ye Tian was somewhat disappointed by the renovation of the main hall. He had expected it to be grand and magnificent, but it looked like a simple temple, except that it did not enshrine any deities or gods.
Instead, they are the memorial tablets of all the leaders of the Blackwater Gang throughout history.
The discussion took place behind the altar, in a simple, not-too-large space. The eight chairs at the front represented the eight hall masters of the Blackwater Gang.
The highest-ranking person is the gang leader, and the person to the side of the gang leader is the deputy gang leader.
However, these chairs are all empty now, obviously because no one has arrived yet.
Ye Tian and Yu Fo are not yet hall masters, so they are not qualified to sit down and can only stand on the side for now.
When Ye Tian walked over, the jade Buddha smiled with relief.
"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come. Young man, you certainly have guts!"
His tone was gentle, as if it contained the appreciation of a senior for a junior, but soon his tone changed.
"It's just a pity."
As he spoke, he was about to raise his hand and pat Ye Tian on the shoulder.
"Some things are simply not for you to covet. Go back and prepare for another two years, kid."
