Silence returned to the hall.
If the previous silence was protest against Su Bai's demands, this one was born of fear.
If last night's events could be explained as high-tech or trickery, what they just saw was impossible to explain that way!
Catching a bullet barehanded!
Breaking a skull with a flick!
Was this humanly possible?
Catching a bullet barehanded at close range meant their guns were merely toys!
Furthermore, when Su Bai defeated Yang Wenhui's guards with unbelievable speed, not even automatic rifles could likely hit him!
What kind of existence was this mysterious youth?
Martial arts?
Magic?
Superpower?
Or something else?
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Giving up their lifetime achievements was hard, but resisting…
Yang Wenhui was a warning example.
Killing him was a warning.
And Su Bai earned 450 Survival Points for it.
Su Bai felt ready to move forward.
Still sitting on the sofa, he waved his right hand and Yang Wenhui's corpse vanished, leaving only some blood and brains smeared on the floor.
Seeing the four bosses' shocked expressions, Su Bai waved again, and a pile of golden Gold Bricks appeared on the table before him.
"The roster must be handed over, that's non-negotiable."
Tapping the armrest of the sofa, Su Bai said coolly, "But I'm not so harsh. Taking your things means paying you back."
"These thousand Gold Bricks are your payment."
"As long as you obey and follow every order Jin Manfu issues… every month on this day, you'll get a thousand Gold Bricks from me."
The carrot and the stick.
Pure threat or pure bribe is unreliable.
Only combining both could guarantee these Mafia Bosses would be loyal and trouble-free.
"Oh, right."
"Since Boss Yang is gone, you can decide what to do with his Gold Bricks."
"Take them yourselves or find a successor for Boss Yang. My only demand is that none of Boss Yang's men are lost, and all remain obedient!"
"My words are done. Now it's your choice."
After this, Su Bai reclined on the sofa, eyes cold, watching the four Mafia Bosses waiting for their decision.
Actually, they had no choice.
Yang Wenhui's sudden death and disappearance was a clear warning.
If these four didn't want to die, their only option was to take some gold, hand over their rosters, and serve Jin Manfu—or rather, Lord Crow—diligently.
Still, the four under Boss Yuan were pleasantly surprised.
Before, they only felt threats and death warnings—pure sticks.
Now, they tasted the benefits of submission!
Gold Bricks!
A whole thousand bricks weighing a thousand pounds, worth 230 million Great Summer coins, lay before them to take!
Even if split five ways, that was 200 bricks each, worth 46 million Great Summer coins!
Split four ways, 250 bricks each—57.5 million Great Summer coins!
And these bricks were not one-time.
If they stayed loyal and diligent, every month on this day they'd receive such a fortune!
Hard currency!
What had they worked for all their lives?
Money!
Now, agreeing to the mysterious youth's terms, they only lost a roster and nominally pledged to Jin Manfu and secretly to Lord Crow, while gaining a huge fortune!
Soon, Boss Yuan was the first to grasp it.
Moving his gaze away from the Gold Bricks, he stood respectfully, "Since Lord Crow values what little I have, it's my honor."
"From today on, I, Yuan, and all my men will obey Lord Crow."
The other three soon stood as well, pledging loyalty to Su Bai.
The submission of these four meant Linjiang City's underworld was completely unified.
From then on, no more Boss Yuan, Boss Zhang, or Boss Yang—only the uncrowned king of Linjiang City's underworld: Master Jin Manfu!
"Wise choice."
Clapping softly, Su Bai stood and smiled, "Since you've chosen, we're family from now on."
"Take the Gold Bricks as you wish, and enjoy the banquet tonight."
"Besides the Gold Bricks and the banquet, I have a little surprise for you."
"As for what you need to cooperate on… Jin Manfu will tell you personally. I believe you won't regret your choice."
With that, Su Bai left the hall.
His oppressive aura was too strong—staying would affect Jin Manfu's performance.
Without his pressure, the four bosses relaxed and Jin Manfu could better handle the following tasks.
