Chapter 160: Bloody Banquet! A Clean Cut in Two!_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The opponent was seriously injured, but he forced himself to attend the gathering!
“Since that is the case, let’s give it a try!” Meng Sang sneered secretly, intending to strike at the prestige of the Leader Faction and embarrass Sikong Zhan.
The Giant Whale Gang’s gathering was full of joy, everyone seemed happy and was enjoying themselves thoroughly, but they all knew that today’s event was unlikely to end so smoothly and peacefully!
Indeed, when the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, Meng Sang, who was quietly sipping tea while holding his teacup, glanced intentionally or unintentionally at a man sitting beside him.
This man was in his forties, with a broad mouth and rather ugly features, but no one dared to attack him on this point.
The man was named Ke Zhenlin, one of the Deputy Hall Leaders of the Electric Whale Hall, with formidable strength and quite a reputation in the Giant Whale Gang.
Ke Zhenlin nodded subtly in understanding and suddenly spoke up, “Young Gang Leader, today I have a favor to ask!”
Ke Zhenlin’s voice was mixed with his internal energy, making it loud and drowning out everyone else’s.
This made the originally bustling hall gradually quiet down.
The expressions of the crowd varied, knowing for sure that tonight’s gathering would not pass so easily. Ke Zhenlin was Meng Sang’s man, and his speaking up at this moment was most likely inspired by Meng Sang, probably to challenge the Leader Faction!
Sikong Huang felt helpless, she too anticipated that tonight would not go smoothly and could only pray that Su Changkong would be able to adapt as the situation demanded.
Sitting in the tiger-skin chair, Su Changkong looked down at Ke Zhenlin calmly and slowly uttered one word: “Speak.”
Ke Zhenlin glanced at Sikong Huang and said earnestly, “Young Gang Leader, I have long adored the Second Miss and have finally made up my mind. In such an important setting, in front of all the disciples of the gang, I would like to propose to her!”
Upon these words, the hall fell silent, and everyone’s expressions turned strange.
Sikong Huang, the daughter of Sikong Yong, was courageous and strategic, with extraordinary talent. Over twenty years old, she was young and beautiful, flawless, truly someone admired by heaven.
And here was Ke Zhenlin, over forty and unattractive, like a toad, earnestly proposing, clearly a deliberate insult to the Leader Faction!
Sikong Huang’s face also changed color involuntarily.
Su Changkong did not speak, merely looking at Ke Zhenlin with cold eyes.
With the utmost sincerity, Ke Zhenlin knelt on one knee: “I had intended to ask the Gang Leader to decide, but with the Gang Leader in seclusion for many years without emerging, it is said that the elder brother is like a father. I beseech the Young Gang Leader, please recognize my sincere heart and allow my request!”
“Ke Zhenlin, take a look at yourself in the mirror—are you worthy of the Second Miss?”
At this moment, a twenty-something-year-old, fan-holding, dashing young man stood out.
This young man bowed and fixed his passionate gaze on Sikong Huang: “Second Miss, I, Wang Yi, have long been infatuated with you, unable to eat or sleep. I hope the Young Gang Leader will grant me this favor!”
Wang Yi, a name Su Changkong had heard before, was also a Deputy Hall Leader of one of the four main halls, with decent Martial Arts talent, or he wouldn’t have assumed the position as a Deputy Hall Leader before turning thirty, and he was also blessed with good looks.
However, everyone in the Giant Whale Gang knew that Wang Yi was naturally flirtatious and often frequented places of fleeting pleasures.
His standing up now was naturally with Meng Sang’s intent.
“Ke Zhenlin, Wang Yi, the two of you are delusional! I, Lei Zizhen, am willing to protect the Second Miss for a lifetime, with unwavering loyalty!”
Another person stood up, a burly man with a twisted beard, speaking in a resonant voice.
“Lei Zizhen, you’ve already got a wife and taken three concubines, and you still want to compete with us?”
“If I divorce them, would that satisfy you? The Second Miss’s beauty is well known throughout the Giant Whale Gang, and for her, I am willing to give up everything!”
The three men argued in a flurry.
“This is just too malicious…”
Many Deputy Hall Leaders and Hall Masters couldn’t stand to watch, inwardly clicking their tongues at Meng Sang’s ruthlessness.
These three men, whether ugly, with wives and concubines, or notorious philanderers, proposing at this moment was an insult to Sikong Huang and a provocation to the entire Sikong Family.
Even though Sikong Huang had weathered many storms and was no mere sheltered miss, her face flushed with anger at this moment, wishing she could draw her sword and slay the three men on the spot. However, if she did so, she might not necessarily manage to kill them, and she would be ridiculed for the Sikong Family’s lack of men.
In this era, with men strong and women weak, Sikong Huang had strived hard, but as a daughter, her status in the Giant Whale Gang could not compare to Sikong Zhan’s. Meng Sang’s attack on the Leader Faction targeted exactly this, which was particularly malicious.
If it were a normal day, the Hall Masters of the halls to which these three men belonged would stop them, but these three Hall Masters knew that speaking up to stop them would mean offending Meng Sang. Being wise, they didn’t want to take sides when the situation was unclear. It was better to remain neutral!
“You have courage!”
The three men were still arguing, but at this point, a deep voice interrupted them—it was Su Changkong.
“Please, Young Gang Leader, decide!”
Ke Zhenlin, Wang Yi, and Lei Zizhen looked at each other and said in unison.
This scene was something Meng Sang had arranged long ago!
In Meng Sang’s eyes, Sikong Zhan must have been seriously injured and not yet recovered. By letting the three men deliberately provoke with Sikong Huang as the pretext, the goal was to enrage Sikong Zhan, to force him to lash out in anger and thereby suffer a great loss, embarrassing himself before everyone.
By Sikong Huang’s side, the objective was clear: to provoke Sikong Zhan, who was still suffering from serious injuries, to take action, and the best way to break the current deadlock was indeed for Sikong Zhan to make a move.
