“Officer Su Long,” Jiang Li said with an unfriendly and upset tone.

That guy just broke in directly. Luckily, the Combat Mech had completed.

Wang Gang stood in front of Jiang Li and stared at Su Long fiercely.

“Who are you?”

Su Long ignored Jiang Li, as he had never cared about him. And yet, he was shocked by Wang Gang. He stopped there and sized Wang Gang up, but he couldn’t feel any energy of a Martial Artist on him. So, he thought that Wang Gang was an ordinary person.

Wang Gang was a mech. He wasn’t a real person, so he would certainly not have the energy of a Martial Artist.

“Wang Gang is my new bodyguard. Is there a problem?” Jiang Li said coldly.

“A bodyguard.”

Su Long knew Jiang Li only wanted comfort, but Wang Gang seemed to be a guy who dared to work hard. He was thinking of training Wang Gang into a good fighter when he had the chance. “No problem, for sure.”

“Didn’t you say that you were changing? Why are you still wearing this?”

“Oh, I don’t wanna change anymore.” Jiang Li shrugged. “This looks fine. It’s simple and elegant.”

“You…” Su Long frowned and felt like Jiang Li was messing with him.

“Officer Su Long, the elders must be a bit impatient now. Let’s not waste any more time. We should go to Juyi Hall as fast as possible. I can’t wait to become the leader of the gang,” Jiang Li smiled and said.

“Alright, alright.” Su Long also smiled. If you wanna die so quickly, I won’t stop you.

They left the house together.

…

After a while at Juyi Hall. Juyi Hall and Su Long arrived.

At the entrance there were two members of the Sirius Gang.

“Officer Su Long, Master Jiang Li.” They bowed.

“Hm.” Officer Su Long nodded arrogantly.

“Nice, nice.” Jiang Li gave a beaming smile and said as he patted their shoulders, “It’s so hot today. Thank you for guarding the door under the sun.”

“This is our job.” The two of them were flattered.

“Work hard. When I become the leader and develop the Sirius Gang, I’ll improve the welfare of our members. By then, you’ll be able to eat whatever you want,” Jiang Li said.

“Thank you, Master,” the two members said with gratitude.

“Haha.” Su Long snickered. It was easy for Jiang Li to say something like that, but in this world, nothing was more important than strength.

Then Jiang Li and Su Long entered Juyi Hall and shut the door.

“Master seems really nice. If he really becomes our leader, our life will be better.”

“What are you thinking? Master is too weak. The elders won’t agree with this. He may not even be able to survive.”

“Everything would be better if Chief was still alive.”

The two members of the gang then stopped talking.

…

In Juyi Hall.

Jiang Li looked around and saw Xiao Lan kneeling on the floor. There was a main seat in front, right in the middle, which was the leader’s seat. Three people were sitting a bit lower than that seat.

Chief Elder, Li Hualong, was sitting in the middle, while Elder Dong Yang and Elder Yang Zangdong were sitting on the left and right respectively.

There were also five officers of the gang on both sides.

This is only a gang with a hundred members and nine of them are elders and officers, which occupy almost one-tenth of the total number. Jiang Li thought.

“Elders, Master Jiang Li is here.” Su Long bowed.

“Thank you, Officer Su Long. Take a seat.” Li Hualong raised his right hand.

“Thank you, Chief Elder.” Su Long nodded respectfully and sat on his own seat.

“Master Jiang Li, Brother Jiang Huahong died in an accident and you’re his biological son. According to the rules of the gang, you’re supposed to succeed as the leader.” Li Hualong said slowly, “Are you willing to do so?”

Around the hall. Everyone looked at Jiang Li with disdain and they seemed to be watching a movie.

Xiao Lan knelt on her knees with her head down. She was trembling and she dared not to look at anyone.

Haha. Jiang Li looked around him and laughed in his mind. He thought that his father was too unreliable. None of the members in the entire gang were loyal. Otherwise. He wouldn’t be in a situation like this.

Once Jiang Huahong died, none of the senior members of the gang were willing to help him. They even tried to set him up. This showed that these people had no emotions and loyalty at all. All they cared about was their interest.

Thinking of this Jiang Li felt relieved instead. If these people still cared about the past, it would be hard for him to kill them. Right now, he didn’t have to worry about it.

“The Sirius Gang was established by my father, Jiang Huahong, and he was also in charge of the entire Honghua Street. As the son of the former leader, I must take over his place and help the Sirius Gang improve,” Jiang Li looked at everyone else and said firmly.

“Haha, great. You’re indeed Brother Huahong’s son. I’m touched by your ambition.” Dong Yang laughed sarcastically.

“Haha.” Yang Zangdong smirked.

“…”

The six officers remained silent.

“Chief, please take a seat.” Li Hualong got up and pointed at the chair on the top.

“Hm.” Jiang Li nodded and walked towards the seat without any hesitation, while Wang Gang followed him closely.

In the Juyi Hall, everyone looked at Jiang Li.

In the end Jiang Li walked to the leader’s seat and smiled. He then turned around, glanced over everyone and sat down.

“This kid really dares to sit there.”

“Don’t worry. Let him be happy for a while.”

“He’ll get what he deserves.”

The officers all looked unfriendly.

“Chief Elder, I’m now officially the leader of the Sirius Gang. You should give me the ‘Chief’s Tablet.'” Jiang Li looked at Li Hualong.

Li Hualong smiled and glanced at Officer Su Long. “Of course, you can have the ‘Chief’s Tablet.'”

“Give it to me.” Jiang Li reached out.

“Wait!” Officer Su Long immediately got up and yelled, “Elders, officers, don’t you think that Master Jiang Li isn’t quite suitable to be our leader? He’s only at the early stage of the elementary level and knows just a few tricks. Such a person will only lead the Sirius Gang into a decline.”

“Officer Su Long is right.”

“Strength is the most important thing.”

“Jiang Li is too weak. He’s simply not enough to be our leader.”

“I agree.”

“Elders, we object to letting Jiang Li be the leader of the gang.”

The five officers got up with exactly the same opinion, as if they had discussed it beforehand. This was too obvious. Their real intention was exposed and they finally began.

“Ahh-haa…” Jiang Li yawned and didn’t care at all, as if he was watching a move. He seemed to be saying, “Please enjoy your show. I’ll not disturb you. If the show is great, I might even clap and give you a flower.”

“According to the rules set by us and Brother Huahong, Jiang Li is totally qualified to be the next leader.” Yang Zangdong couldn’t hide his smile anymore, as if his evil plan had succeeded.

“Our rules also stated that officers and elders can object to the new leader. Chief Elder, what do you think?” Dong Yang looked at Li Hualong.

“Let’s vote.”

Li Hualong said, “Please raise your hand if you object to letting Jiang Li be our leader.”

After that.

“Me too.”

“Me either.”

“And me.”

“…”

The six officers all raised their hands one after another. Yang Zangdong heaved a sigh and also raised his hand firmly.

“You must listen to the people.” Dong Yang also raised his hand.

“…”

Li Hualong looked at Jiang Li and found that Jiang Li wasn’t angry as expected. He was calm! Really calm!

This gave Li Hualong a chill down his spine. He felt something wrong.

Why is he so calm? Li Hualong thought.

“Jiang Li, since the six officers and the three elders objected, you’ll not be our leader from now on.” Su Long yelled, “I think Chief Elder is more suitable to be the leader.”

“Get down here.”

“Get down from that seat.”

“You don’t deserve it.”

“Get out of there!”

“How can a loser be our leader? Do you really think you can do anything you want just because of your background?”

The officers shouted. They weren’t talking peacefully anymore.

“Are you done with your show? It’s lame.”

Jiang Li stretched his body and got up from his seat. He started to look cold and vicious. “Since you’ve done performing, it’s now my turn.”

“Shut up, Jiang Li. Why are you pretending to be strong? You’re only a loser at the early-stage elementary level. If you don’t wanna get down, I’ll have to help you.” Su Long grunted with viciousness in his eyes. He jumped up from his seat and rushed to Jiang Li. His right hand was pointing right at Jiang Li’s heart.

“Go to Hell!”

In a blink, Su Long was already right before Jiang Li.

“Wang Gang, attack,” Jiang Li said immediately.

“Yes, Master.”

Boom! Wang Gang punched and blocked Su Long’s attack. His strong energy instantly broke Su Long’s arm.

“Argh!” Pfft! Su Long let out a cry and flew backwards at a high speed as he spurted out blood. He clashed against Xiao Lan, knocking her down as well.

Bang! The door of Juyi Hall was knocked open.

A punch! A punch and Su Long flew a dozen meters away!

Everyone went silent! Only Su Long’s wails were left.
