Speaking of underworld tycoons

Long Shaojun was furious. He was trying to pick up girls, and those guys dared to interrupt him—they were practically asking for death! He looked up and saw that the guy who dared to stand up was tall and imposing, standing at 1.9 meters, with a face full of menacing features, looking like a mountain—truly intimidating. It was obvious he was a martial arts expert with considerable skill.
Sizing him up, Long Shaojun slowly asked, "Who are you?"
The man arrogantly glanced at Long Shaojun, as if he had him completely under his thumb, then turned his gaze to He Lisha and Zhang Li, acting like a great hero, trying to win their admiration. He replied, "My name is Jin Tiezhu."
Long Shaojun suddenly laughed, "Tiezhu, oh, you do look like him. I wonder if you can withstand my punch." He released He Li's hand and suddenly threw a punch, hitting him squarely in the stomach.
Jin Tiezhu screamed, his body tilting forward.
Long Shaojun's fist hooked upwards, hitting him squarely in the chin. His body flew backwards, landing on his back on the ground, groaning.
The boys were enraged. They hadn't expected Long Shaojun to be so despicable, knocking down their classmate with a single punch. They yelled and charged at Long Shaojun.
Long Shaojun laughed, not letting go of He Lisha's hand. He threw a punch, which trembled in the air, multiplying into four fists that struck the four boys.
The four boys felt a heavy blow, then flew backward and crashed to the ground, unable to move, only groaning.
Long Shaojun sneered, "Overestimating yourselves!" Ignoring them, he pulled the half-dazed He Lisha and Zhang Li to the edge of the grove by the playground, then released their hands, saying, "Watch, I'll give you a performance." With that, he began to dance.
Long Shaojun demonstrated a move from the Yin-Yang Harmony Divine Art to the two women. Besides its mental cultivation method, the Yin-Yang Harmony Divine Art also includes specific moves—essentially erotic paintings, or sexual positions. However, the Yin-Yang Harmony Divine Art is a renowned dual cultivation technique in the supernatural world, far superior to lower-level dual cultivation techniques. Even those positions, unless actually in bed, don't reveal any explicit sexual content. Moreover, these moves are highly beneficial to the two women. As a supernatural mental cultivation method, it's far superior to ordinary methods. With successful practice, it can not only prolong life but also preserve youth. If the two women understood this, they would be overjoyed.
Both women were very intelligent; Long Shaojun demonstrated it only twice, and they memorized it completely, performing it with great skill.
Long Shaojun then channeled some energy into the two women to aid their cultivation. Of course, the energy he channeled was hidden within their bodies; if they practiced the Yin-Yang Harmony Divine Art moves daily, they would naturally absorb all the energy.
Long Shaojun stayed with the two women, correcting their mistakes. He even had dinner with them before leaving amidst their reluctance. It was clear that Long Shaojun had left a deep impression on them, and the day he would cultivate the Yin-Yang Harmony Divine Art with them was not far off.
Long Shaojun returned to the villa. Zhao Ruxue was already up in the living room. Upon seeing Long Shaojun enter, her previously somewhat resentful gaze brightened, revealing boundless joy. She ran to Long Shaojun and said, "Shaojun, where have you been? I couldn't find you when I got up. Here, I made you breakfast. I bought this rice yesterday."
Long Shaojun was deeply moved. Zhao Ruxue was so gentle; she had thought of making him breakfast yesterday. It was truly worth the effort he had put into winning her over.
After breakfast, Zhao Ruxue washed the dishes and asked, "Shaojun, what are you doing today?"
Long Shaojun thought for a moment and suddenly realized he had too much to do, yet it also seemed like he didn't need to do anything. He should go to Yu Ruixiang Company, check on the Hungry Wolf Gang, support Zhao Ruxue's Ruxue Advertising Company, practice his martial arts, and earn money. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What about you?"
Zhao Ruxue said, "Today, Zhang Xiaojuan and I have already arranged to put up advertisements and distribute flyers. Are you going?"
Long Shaojun shook his head and said, "Never mind, I have other things to do. You guys go ahead and take care of it. I'll contact business for you when we officially open for business."
After Zhao Ruxue left, Long Shaojun decided to go check on the Hungry Wolf Gang. Nearly ten days had passed; he wondered how they were doing.
Having transformed his appearance to resemble Long Juesha, Long Shaojun dialed Liang Pingshan's number. Liang Pingshan's respectful voice came through the phone: "Hello, Mr. Long."
Long Shaojun asked, "How is your injury recovery?"
Liang Pingshan replied, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Long. Our injuries have mostly healed. I was just about to call you tomorrow."
Long Shaojun asked, "Where are you? I'll come over."
Liang Pingshan said, "We're in our own courtyard, on Road 6, District 5, City Center. You should be able to find us as soon as you arrive."
Long Shaojun quickly arrived at the Hungry Wolf Gang's headquarters.
The Hungry Wolf Gang wasn't financially well-off. They owned a three-story building, mainly used for residence, housing over a hundred people who made their living by collecting protection money from the street.
When Long Shaojun arrived at the building's entrance, he saw Liang Pingshan standing there respectfully with over a hundred disciples. Upon seeing Long Shaojun, they immediately bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Mr. Long!"
Liang Pingshan approached Long Shaojun and said, "Mr. Long, please come in and have a seat."
Long Shaojun didn't stand on ceremony and went into the living room, sitting on a sofa nearby. His underlings poured tea.
Long Shaojun sized up Liang Pingshan. His injuries hadn't fully healed yet; one hand was wrapped in bandages. The sight of over a hundred underlings, almost all with bandages on the same spot, was undeniably amusing.
Long Shaojun suppressed a laugh and said, "Liang Pingshan, I'm just here to take a look around and get a feel for the underworld in this area. Come, let's talk in another room."
In the living room, only the three leaders of the Hungry Wolf Gang were present, along with Zhang Yongchuan, whose eight extraordinary meridians and Ren and Du meridians had been opened by Long Shaojun.
Liang Pingshan pointed to the leader and introduced, "These three are the leaders of the Hungry Wolf Gang: Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin."
Long Shaojun looked at the three leaders. The first, Chen Gai, was the one who had brought three henchmen to the old man for protection a few days ago. The second looked to be in his twenties, tall and thin, with a long face, and appeared rather shrewd. The third was short and stout, and looked honest and simple.
Upon hearing their introduction, Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Long."
Long Shaojun nodded, gesturing for them to sit down, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Yongchuan.
Zhang Yongchuan, being quick-witted, immediately bowed and said, "Zhang Yongchuan greets Mr. Long. Mr. Long opened my eight extraordinary meridians and the Ren and Du meridians; I will never forget it. From now on, my life is in your hands!"

Long Shaojun smiled and nodded, saying, "Good, you are indeed someone I value. I hope you remember what you said today. Now that I have opened your eight extraordinary meridians and the Ren and Du meridians, your martial arts training will be much easier. I will teach you advanced martial arts techniques; I hope you will make the most of them."
Zhang Yongchuan was an orphan who had wandered the streets since childhood, enduring countless hardships. Joining the underworld was out of necessity, and in the underworld, strength was paramount. Everyone dreamed of becoming a martial arts master, and now the opportunity to do so was right in front of him. No wonder he was moved to tears.
Long Shaojun said, "Liang Pingshan, tell me about the situation here."
Liang Pingshan organized his thoughts and said, "Ever since Mr. Long said he wanted to take over this street, I started investigating the underworld situation in S City as soon as I returned. Let me first talk about the overall situation of the underworld in S City. S City is divided into five districts: East, South, West, North, and Central. The first district is further divided into several sub-districts, and each sub-district has several streets. For ease of reference, we will distinguish the sub-districts in each district by numbers. There are many powerful forces in S City. In addition to some well-known gangs, families, and organizations mentioned in the Supernatural World Guide, there are countless small gangs. These gangs operate both openly and covertly, each with its own territory. Generally speaking, they do not interfere with each other unless they are absolutely certain of victory. In S City, the East, South, and North are each protected by a large organization. The East District is the territory of the S City Business Alliance, whose members are all large companies in S City, including several families. Because those families are also large conglomerates, their funds are very abundant. It is estimated that the wealth of companies that have joined the Business Alliance accounts for one-tenth of the wealth of Z country." Their military strength comes from two sources: experts from families with supernatural abilities and bodyguards hired by wealthy individuals. Among them, the Dongfang, Ximen, Ouyang, and Wei families are incredibly powerful both economically and militarily. They each have their own companies, essentially forming separate factions. They join the Business Alliance simply because their families are in business and for better cooperation. Therefore, the Business Alliance is a loosely organized group, and conflicts of interest could easily lead to infighting. While seemingly the strongest alliance, it poses little real threat. The members of the Business Alliance are primarily profit-driven and are legitimate businessmen, at least publicly. However, their true nature is unknown, as many large companies were formerly part of organized crime, only becoming legitimate after government crackdowns. Behind the scenes, they still engage in gang warfare. Because the Business Alliance are legitimate businesses, small stalls in the eastern district don't need to pay protection money, as almost no gangs can survive there. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare collect protection money. Most companies would cloak themselves in the guise of justice, acting as law-abiding citizens.
The southern area is the territory of the Fierce Tiger Gang. The Fierce Tiger Gang, as clearly stated in the guide to the supernatural world, is the third largest organization after the government's supernatural research institute and the Demonic Sect. The gang boasts numerous experts; its leader, Yang Tieyi, is a supernatural being with a cultivation level of mid-level eight. Three of its protectors are at least level seven, and the gang has tens of thousands of disciples, making it incredibly powerful. In the southern area, the Fierce Tiger Gang is the boss and can openly collect protection money. Of course, they don't collect protection money themselves; instead, they have the local gangs hand over a portion of the collected protection money to them. Furthermore, they own countless businesses. Some suspect that most of the local gangs are actually members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, but they have to split into numerous gangs to avoid worrying the government about their strength. Otherwise, the Fierce Tiger Gang's strength would rival, or perhaps even surpass, that of the Demonic Sect and the supernatural research institute.
The northern area is dominated by the Black Panther . The origins of the Black Panther organization are a mystery. All that is known is that they suddenly appeared ten years ago, and within a few months, wiped out several large gangs in the western district, thus occupying the area and maintaining a standoff with the Tiger Gang. Their strength is also a mystery; no one knows how many skilled fighters they have. It is only known that Black Panther members are all highly skilled fighters, fearless, and, most importantly, incredibly well-equipped, capable of deploying armored vehicles, rocket launchers, and hand-held missiles. Some speculate that they might be a secret government unit in disguise, their purpose being to counter the Tiger Gang and prevent its growing power.
The western district is home to countless gangs, which outwardly operate under the guise of companies, engaging in legitimate business. However, they are fiercely competitive behind the scenes, each vying to absorb the others and become the dominant force, rivaling both the Tiger Gang and the Black Panther organization. However, several gangs are evenly matched in strength, preventing any single organization from achieving true dominance. The government... Of course, the government knew about the bloody killings they were committing there. However, the government was more than happy to let their strengths cancel each other out, and as long as they didn't do anything too outrageous, the government generally wouldn't interfere. Therefore, that place was the most chaotic, with various forces constantly fighting each other. During the day, all the companies—or rather, the gangs—did their business honestly, perhaps even negotiating deals over drinks, calling each other brothers and acting as close as family. At night, shadowy figures darted about everywhere, shouts of killing echoed frequently, and countless streets were washed clean, the worst aspects of humanity displayed to the fullest extent. However, as soon as dawn broke, those people would immediately disappear, the corpses would be carried away, and the streets and walls would be thoroughly washed. Apart from a faint smell of blood and a dampness everywhere, everything seemed normal. Without knowing the details, no one would suspect that fights, murders, and arson had occurred there the previous night. "
Speaking of which," Liang Pingshan paused, then continued, "the most powerful gangs in the western district now, or rather, there are four companies..." These four companies are also mentioned in the guide to the supernatural world.
The first is Dongyang Trading Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of R country. It's said that its backer is the Black Dragon Society, R country's largest organization, and a vanguard in R country's expansion into China's trade routes. They distribute high-end products such as electrical appliances and automobiles. They reportedly possess several special ninjas, making them incredibly powerful. With the Black Dragon Society's support, even the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Black Panther Organization take them seriously.
The second is Huayu Company, dealing in building materials and transportation. Its predecessor was the Dahe Gang, whose leader, Fei Tuhai, was a supernatural expert at a mid-level seventh rank. He later became the general manager of Huayu Company.
The third is Mingyue Company, primarily engaged in transportation. Its predecessor was the Pai Jiao, which later transformed into Mingyue Company. Chairman Yang Yunlin has a martial arts level of around seventh rank and commands a large group of highly skilled individuals, making them incredibly powerful.
The fourth is Caiyun Company, operating a large hotel, including a nightclub, restaurant, and accommodation. General Manager Song Yumei is a supernatural being at a certain level. A level six or above, 25 years old, and stunningly beautiful, she's a figure on the "Hundred Flowers List" of the supernatural world. Rumor has it she's single, and many gang leaders—oh, managers—are eyeing her. To be honest, she's the weakest, making survival difficult. However, the sheer number of people wanting her makes them hesitant to act, allowing her to survive in the cracks. Recently, Dongfang Wei, the young master of the Dongfang family, has been getting close to her, seemingly pursuing her. Dongfang Wei is ranked third on the supernatural world's youth list, with martial arts skills reaching the lower level of level seven. With the Dongfang family as his backing, and him protecting Song Yumei, other organizations naturally dare not act recklessly.

Besides these four companies, there are some small and medium-sized gangs. Their strength is relatively weak, but most of them have signed alliances to fight against the four companies.
The remaining area is the city center district. It's the largest district, home to countless established companies, arguably the wealthiest, but it lacks large gangs. Oh... In other words, most of the companies here don't have large gang ties; they're legitimate businessmen. Some are members of business associations, others aren't. The government's power is strongest here. Ouyang Shengnan, the head of the city police's criminal investigation team, is a supernatural expert from the Ouyang family, with strength reaching around level seven. Other important departments like the Major Crimes Unit and the Narcotics Unit also have supernatural experts. They're likely sent by various sects, families, or paranormal research institutes. Moreover, according to my investigation, many companies in the city center have the backing of major legitimate sects. Therefore, large gangs can't stand a chance here. However, there are countless small gangs, like our Hungry Wolf Gang, which survives here. We just don't dare go to the main streets; we can only manage this side street. There are many other small gangs like us. "
Long Shaojun nodded and said, 'How's the Hungry Wolf Gang's usual income? I saw you immediately called for 110,000 yuan the other day; we shouldn't be too poor.'"
Liang Pingshan smiled bitterly, "I lost both my parents when I was twelve and have been wandering ever since. Several of the brothers here have been with me for years, and the rest have gradually gathered in the Hungry Wolf Gang over the past few years. All of us over a hundred brothers are homeless. I've always forbidden them from getting involved with drugs or prostitution. It's not that I'm particularly noble, but our strength is too weak. We simply can't afford to get involved in those things. This is the city center, a melting pot of various forces. If we clash with other drug trafficking or prostitution rings, the Hungry Wolf Gang might vanish without a trace overnight. This side street isn't very lucrative. There's one main street and more than ten side streets and alleys..." We dare not mess with large and medium-sized companies; we can only target small businesses and stalls. We can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, which is far from enough for a group of over a hundred people. The rest of the time, we have to go out and do odd jobs, sometimes selling information, etc., just to barely make ends meet. As for immediately producing 110,000 yuan that day, it's because I always leave myself a way out. Since someone dared to attack us, they must have some reservations. Preparing money is also for survival in a critical moment; that money is what we've saved up over the years through frugality.”
Long Shaojun greatly admired Liang Pingshan's caution. Such a person, with a little training, could definitely play a huge role. Thinking of this, he asked again, "You sell intelligence?"
Liang Pingshan replied, "Yes, we buy that information through prostitutes. We're struggling financially, so I came up with this idea. Sometimes, when the clients discuss things, they don't hide it from the prostitutes. Although there aren't many secrets, I seem to be quite good at this. I can get more information by analyzing snippets of conversation, and I'm always right. Selling intelligence is one of the two major sources of income for our Hungry Wolf Gang. The other major source is collecting protection money."
Long Shaojun was secretly pleased. He hadn't expected Liang Pingshan to be such a talent, able to analyze more information from what others were saying. Intelligence personnel were exactly what he needed. To gain a foothold in the underworld, they were indispensable. With Liang Pingshan, this aspect shouldn't be a problem. Hmm, from now on, he could put him in charge of intelligence.
Thinking of this, Long Shaojun said, "Good, you have a good talent in this area. We might need you for intelligence work in the future."
Liang Pingshan immediately replied enthusiastically, "Don't worry, Mr. Long, I will definitely not let you down."
Long Shaojun said, "Your lives are rather difficult. I'll give you one million first. Later, I will teach you martial arts to improve your skills. Once you reach a certain level of strength, I will start seizing territory. Where do you think is the best place to start?"
Liang Pingshan immediately said, "I think it's best to take over a territory in the western area, then unite some of them to defeat others, neutralizing their strength and thus profiting from it." Saying this, he glanced at Long Shaojun and fell silent.
Long Shaojun hadn't expected Liang Pingshan to have such a sharp mind. He praised, "Good! This strategy of supporting one group to defeat another is our glorious tradition, and we must carry it forward. I never knew you had such a mind. No wonder the Hungry Wolf Gang, with its strength, hasn't been wiped out yet; you've made a significant contribution. However, it seems you haven't said something yet."
Liang Pingshan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "No, that's all."
Long Shaojun laughed and said, "Never mind, let me say it for you. Are you saying that after defeating the enemy, you'll stab the allies in the back and then reap the benefits?"
Liang Pingshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt a sense of understanding from Long Shaojun. He then realized that... This approach is a bit insidious. He gave an awkward smile and said, "This... seems a bit inappropriate, but it's not a bad idea."
Long Shaojun laughed, "Say what you want to say, don't hold back. I'm a straightforward person, unlike those righteous heroes who appear upright on the surface but secretly engage in illegal activities. Hmm, your suggestion is very good; we can consider it later. How did you come up with this?"
Liang Pingshan thought to himself: This method was yours, how did it become my suggestion? It seems I'm just like those treacherous officials who take the blame in the past. The bad idea came from the emperor, but the treacherous official bears the infamy. However, of course, he dared not protest. He nodded and said, "Don't be afraid to laugh at me, Mr. Long. My martial arts skills are very weak, and the strength of the Hungry Wolf Gang is even weaker." "I'm weak, but I love to daydream. I fantasize about one day becoming a superpowered expert, and the Hungry Wolf Gang becoming powerful enough that we no longer have to live with our tails between our legs. Then, I'll start conquering all directions and carving out my own territory. Of course, I often fantasize about the details of this. This method is the best way for the Hungry Wolf Gang to expand its power."
Long Shaojun laughed, "Good fantasy. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. Don't worry, I'll make your fantasies a reality. I will make the Hungry Wolf Gang—no, the name Hungry Wolf is very imposing, but too blatant. We should choose a more elegant name. Otherwise, as soon as we go out, everyone will know that the gang is a group of lawless and brutal thugs. Although there are..." " It will have a deterrent effect, but it will also make the government wary of us, making it inconvenient for us to do things,"
Liang Pingshan said. "I chose the name 'Hungry Wolf' because it sounded scary. Think about it, wolves are ferocious animals, and if it's 'Hungry Wolf,' it's even more terrifying. If you bring it out, the timid will definitely wet their pants."
Long Shaojun thought for a moment, then laughed loudly, "That's right, although 'Hungry Wolf Gang' sounds vulgar, it has a deterrent effect in the underworld, so there's no need to change it. In the future, I will definitely let the whole world know how terrifying the Hungry Wolf is!" Liang
Pingshan was excited. He could see that Long Shaojun would never be content with a small corner of the world, but was preparing to make a big splash and become a powerful figure. As one of the first people to follow him, he was sure to rise to prominence in the future.
Long Shaojun took out a booklet and handed it to Liang Pingshan, saying, "Liang Pingshan, this is some cultivation method I've compiled. It includes a method for cultivating supernatural abilities and some techniques. It's easy to learn and practice, and the progress is very rapid. There are some side effects at higher levels, but that's only a concern for those above level seven. Liang Pingshan, you have a certain foundation in martial arts. You can learn the martial arts in this booklet first, and then pass them on to your subordinates. The martial arts in this booklet are extremely powerful. I collected hundreds of killing techniques online and combined them with internal energy cultivation. Once mastered, they are enough to deal with a level four or five supernatural ability user. You must study and practice diligently. Remember, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime."

Liang Pingshan's hands trembled slightly as he took the booklet, and he said passionately, "Don't worry, Mr. Long, we will definitely not let you down!"
Zhang Yongchuan, Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin also immediately made their promises.
Long Shaojun said, "Liang Pingshan, give the booklet to Zhang Yongchuan first. I'll open up your meridians, but I can only open the eight extraordinary meridians. Opening the Ren and Du meridians has too many requirements and is too dangerous. A slight mistake could injure yourself or others, or even kill you. I helped Zhang Yongchuan open his Ren and Du meridians that night because he was seriously injured and would die without treatment, so I had no choice."
Liang Pingshan and the others were somewhat disappointed that they wouldn't be able to open the Ren and Du meridians like Zhang Yongchuan, but they were still very happy that they could open the eight extraordinary meridians.
To be honest, Long Shaojun's strength had already reached level eight or above, but after opening up all the meridians and eight extraordinary meridians for Liang Pingshan, Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin, he also suffered a great loss of energy. However, he had now reached the Innate Realm, and a large amount of energy from heaven and earth was absorbed into his body, so he would recover soon.
Liang Pingshan and the others were meditating and adjusting their breathing, familiarizing themselves with the energy flow that Long Shaojun had injected into their bodies. Long Shaojun looked at Zhang Yongchuan.
Zhang Yongchuan was practicing his moves with a short sword, and Long Shaojun glanced at him for a few moments, then said, "Zhang Yongchuan, your moves are correct, but something is missing."
Zhang Yongchuan immediately sheathed his sword, came before Long Shaojun, and bowed, saying, "Please instruct me, Mr. Long."
Long Shaojun smiled and said, "No need to be so formal. How old are you?"
Zhang Yongchuan replied, "Eighteen."
Long Shaojun then asked, "Where are you from?"
Zhang Yongchuan's eyes reddened, and he said, "I can't be sure either. I grew up in an orphanage in Hebei. The aunties at the orphanage said they found me outside the orphanage. Five years ago, I left the orphanage and headed south. I eventually came to S City. When I was starving and freezing, I met the gang leader, and he took me in."
Long Shaojun nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sad story. Come, let's talk about the moves you practiced earlier. The movements are fine, but you lacked intent, specifically killing intent. The moves I prepared for you are all of the fierce type. Once you unleash a move, there is no return. Go and chop that table. Imagine it's your father's killer. Unleash the ferocity in your heart. This strike will be your future realm. Use all your energy and spirit to chop it down in one strike. Kill!" Long Shaojun's last "kill" was like a thunderclap in Zhang Yongchuan's ears.
Zhang Yongchuan was thinking of his parents when he heard Long Shaojun's shout of "Kill!" A surge of overwhelming sorrow welled up within him, and a violent rage rushed to his head. He turned and charged towards the long table, roaring, "Kill!" Gripping his sword in both hands, he leaped into the air and slashed down at the table. The air whistled, and a half-foot-long golden sword light emanated from the tip of the short sword.
"Boom!" The sandalwood table was cleaved in two, and Zhang Yongchuan's body slammed against it, collapsing to the ground, unconscious.
Several people rushed in from outside. Before they could speak, Long Shaojun waved his hand and said, "We're practicing martial arts." The men felt as if they were floating on clouds, and when they regained consciousness, they were already standing outside the door.
With a wave of his hand, Long Shaojun lifted Zhang Yongchuan into the air. His fingers flicked out in succession, sending countless bursts of energy striking all the acupoints on Zhang's body in an instant. Long Shaojun then placed him on a sofa and said, "Quickly, circulate your energy and regulate your breathing."
Zhang Yongchuan woke up after Long Shaojun had tapped all his acupoints. Hearing this, he didn't dare delay and immediately got up, crossed his legs, and began meditating to regulate his breathing.
Seeing Zhang Yongchuan's perseverance, Long Shaojun nodded secretly. That night, Zhang Yongchuan had saved him from a predicament with a kick, but he himself had been nearly killed by the powerful energy. An ordinary person would have died long ago, but he was a visible superhuman, belonging to the metal element. In a life-threatening situation, the metal element energy automatically protected him, which was why he had managed to hold on until Long Shaojun healed him. Furthermore, Long Shaojun, grateful for his help, opened all of Liang Pingshan's acupoints, meridians, and the Ren and Du meridians, and also transferred nearly two years' worth of internal energy to him. Now, he further disrupted Liang Pingshan's will through supreme divine skill, causing him to unleash an attack beyond his true strength. After this attack, his martial arts cultivation would not increase significantly, but his mental realm would reach another level. Given time, he would surely become a renowned master in the supernatural world, and of course, his best henchman.
Not long after, Liang Pingshan and the others awoke from their meditation. Seeing Long Shaojun protecting them, they were extremely grateful and pledged their loyalty to him.
Long Shaojun said, "Liang Pingshan, call the members of the Hungry Wolf Gang here. I need to give them a speech."
Liang Pingshan immediately replied, "Mr. Long, please wait." Saying this, he walked to the door and said, "Everyone, gather in the hall on the second floor!"
When Long Shaojun led Liang Pingshan and the others to the hall on the second floor, it was already full of people. Long Shaojun looked around and saw that there were one hundred and twenty people in total.
Liang Pingshan said, "Mr. Long, as soon as I received your call, I immediately notified everyone to return. This is the entire Hungry Wolf Gang."
Long Shaojun nodded and looked at the former Hungry Wolf Gang members.
These gang members, of course, knew Long Shaojun's power, as almost all of them were wrapped in bandages; those injuries were inflicted by Long Shaojun.
Long Shaojun didn't speak, but looked at them. An invisible aura grew in the hall, making the gang members breathless, their foreheads beaded with sweat, and several had turned pale.
Seeing that his intimidation had been sufficient, Long Shaojun withdrew his powerful presence and said, "Everyone, I want to ask you a question: What are you living for?"
The crowd paused, looking at each other thoughtfully.
Long Shaojun slowly said, "I remember a saying: 'A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on his past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor be ashamed of having accomplished nothing...'"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below immediately echoed, "Strive for the liberation of mankind!"
Long Shaojun raised his hand and said, "That is indeed a noble ideal, but our thoughts cannot reach that level. We are just vulgar petty citizens, only able to see the small gains in front of us. Therefore, our ideal is to wear fine silks and satins, eat delicacies, live in mansions and villas, ride in Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, play with beautiful women, and, when we have the ability, help others as well!"
"Ah!" The members of the Hungry Wolf Gang were surprised that Long Shaojun's seemingly noble words would reveal his true colors in the next sentence. They became excited. Yes, in this day and age, it is a money-driven society. Anyone can shout empty slogans, but who isn't just trying to make a better life for themselves? Long Shaojun's words were exactly what they wanted. They were all gangsters in the underworld. They had loyalty, but it was impossible for them to have noble character. Only profit could arouse their fighting spirit.

"Our gang is called the Hungry Wolf Gang. Wolves are ferocious, cunning, and hardworking, but most importantly, they are cooperative. When a pack of wolves gathers together, even tigers, lions, and elephants can only flee in terror. Therefore, I hope you will have the spirit of wolves—fearless, courageous, and determined to defeat all your opponents!"
The crowd immediately shouted, "Yes!"
Long Shaojun continued, "Right now, our Hungry Wolf Gang is just an insignificant little gang, but I believe that in the near future, our Hungry Wolf Gang will be world-renowned, and you will become famous figures!"
"Yes!" This time, everyone shouted with all their might.
"A pie won't fall from the sky. To achieve all this, there are only two words—fist, that is, strength. Without strength, you will only be humiliated and oppressed. Only when your strength surpasses that of your enemies can you kill them, seize their property, and have your way with their women. Otherwise, you will be the ones who die, the ones who get robbed, and the ones whose wives are taken by others!" Long Shaojun suddenly roared.
"We want to be strong, never weak! We want to learn martial arts! We don't want to be killed or robbed! We want to protect the women around us! We want to kill all our enemies, rob all our enemies, and take all their women! Mr. Long, please, teach us martial arts!" The members of the Hungry Wolf Gang all had bloodshot eyes, gleaming with a faint green light, like the eyes of hungry wolves, and they roared hysterically.
Long Shaojun smiled with satisfaction. Only by arousing their fighting spirit and desire could they become a pack of true hungry wolves. These hundred-odd wolves, if trained properly, would surely become a terrifying force, perfect as his henchmen and assassins.
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you advanced martial arts, making each of you a martial arts master. However, becoming a martial arts master isn't something that happens overnight; it requires a baptism of blood and sweat. To improve your skills, advanced martial arts techniques can only get you started. Only through arduous practice can your skills improve quickly. This arduous practice is hellish training; very few people can endure it. I hope you are mentally prepared. Everyone knows I am highly skilled in martial arts, but I'll tell you frankly here: two months ago, my martial arts were only slightly better than Liang Pingshan's. But in these two months, I've already been on the verge of death..." "I've walked the edge of death four times, each time narrowly escaping with my life, which is how I acquired my martial arts skills today. Now, if any of you are afraid, you can speak up. I will never force you. I will give you another martial arts method that won't require as much suffering, although the effect will be slightly less. Of course, the effect being slightly less means that a year later, when the martial arts strength of both sides is ten to one, that is, ten people can fight against one person. Now, those who are willing to undergo hellish training, stand on the left; those who are not, stand on the right. I also want to remind you that once the training begins, it cannot be stopped halfway. Even if you die, you must die during the training, understand?"
"Understood!" everyone answered in unison, immediately moving to the left, each with a resolute expression on their face.
Seeing everyone standing on the left, Long Shaojun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Wait a moment, I will unblock your meridians and help you memorize the flow of internal energy. From now on, you will first practice according to the martial arts manual in Liang Pingshan's possession. Every night, I will come here to train you; those are the real hellish training sessions. I hope you will practice Liang Pingshan's manual diligently; the faster you progress, the less suffering you will endure. Now, let's talk about the leadership structure of the Hungry Wolf Gang. From now on, Liang Pingshan will still be the leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang, with Zhang Yongchuan as the deputy leader. I will only be behind the scenes and will not officially appear. Only you..." "We only intervene when we encounter truly formidable masters. Later, I will send more experts to replenish the gang. There are 120 of you in total, divided into three groups: Heaven, Earth, and Human. You will be responsible for assassination, security, and intelligence, respectively. The group leaders are Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin. For ease of management, you will all be referred to by numbers from now on. There are no official ranks for now; your group assignments will be determined based on your martial arts skills." At this point, Long Shaojun realized that his identity as Long Juesha, acting as the backer of the Hungry Wolf Gang, was extremely inappropriate. The Bounty Hunter Guild, the Supernatural Research Institute, and the Demonic Sect all knew this, especially the Supernatural... The research institute represents the government. If they find out he's leading the Hungry Wolf Gang in murder, arson, and lawlessness, they'll definitely come to advise him, putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he needs another identity. Well, that identity of Bloodslaughter comes in handy. As the Hungry Wolf Gang's mastermind, he needs a resounding name—a name and identity that can intimidate people. But for the sake of attracting women, his age can't be too high. Bloodslaughter is currently thirty-two, with a face full of scars, looking incredibly fierce. If he were leading a pack of wolves into battle, it would certainly be terrifying. Thinking of this, he said, "From now on..." "My name is Tu Xue, you can call me Boss Tu. I don't want you to say Long Juesha's name. I have other uses for him, understand?" As he spoke, his face had already transformed into Tu Xue's appearance. He was 1.85 meters tall and incredibly strong. However, he had changed his appearance a little, transforming his face from a fierce and ruthless look into something slightly handsome. He had a ruggedness mixed with a touch of maturity, exuding masculine energy. In particular, his eyes emitted a hint of majesty, causing everyone present to unconsciously lower their heads. He looked completely different from Long Juesha, but he could still attract those women in the throes of first love.
Upon seeing Long Shaojun's appearance, the Hungry Wolf Gang members were immediately subdued. Previously, while they had greatly admired Long Shaojun, Long Juesha was a bit too young. Although his demeanor was extraordinary, his physique and appearance lacked the aura of a powerful underworld figure. Now, Tu Xue looked exactly like a formidable underworld general; all that was missing was an eye patch to transform him into a classic pirate captain. A mere appearance from him would intimidate a large group.
Long Shaojun observed the gang members' reactions and immediately felt that transforming himself into Tu Xue was the right decision. He said, "Remember, you don't know Long Juesha."
The group immediately replied, "Who is Long Juesha? We've never heard of him."
Long Shaojun continued, "Remember, even thieves have their code of honor. I will teach you martial arts, but I will never allow anyone to use martial arts to bully the weak or oppress ordinary people, nor will I allow anyone to do anything that harms the interests of China. If anyone dares to act as an accomplice, I will not let them off lightly!" As he spoke, a dark blue-green light appeared in his eyes, and his powerful aura caused the entire space to freeze. Immediately, everyone present felt as if the air had been sucked out of their bodies, leaving them weak, sweating profusely, and trembling. An overwhelming terror grew within them, and the brutality of Long Shaojun at the glutinous rice ball stall resurfaced in their minds. They immediately understood and shouted, "Don't worry, Mr. Tu, we will definitely follow your teachings!"
Long Shaojun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Twenty of you come forward first, and I will unblock your meridians."
Twenty people immediately stepped forward. Long Shaojun emitted a burst of energy, which split into twenty streams in the air and entered the bodies of these twenty people, beginning to unblock their meridians.
Because Long Shaojun only unblocked the meridians of these twenty people and did not open their eight extraordinary meridians, the energy consumed was not much. Although he had retained one or two months' worth of internal energy in their bodies, the rate of energy replenishment far exceeded the rate of energy consumption, so his losses were not significant. In just five minutes, he had unblocked all the meridians in their bodies and had them memorize the path of internal energy circulation.

Then another twenty people came up, and this process was repeated six times until all the meridians of the one hundred and twenty people were finally unblocked.
Long Shaojun had everyone sit cross-legged to familiarize themselves with the flow of internal energy. After thinking for a moment, he said to Liang Pingshan, "Once they wake up, you should pass on the cultivation method to them and print several copies of the booklet so they can choose their favorite moves to practice. This will increase their interest. I will train them myself tonight. And you too, I hope you can hold on."
Liang Pingshan, Chen Gai, Zhang Chaofan, and Chen Jin immediately straightened up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Long, even if it means going through fire and water, we will not flinch."
Long Shaojun nodded and said, "Zhang Yongchuan has a great talent for supernatural abilities. When he wakes up, tell him that he doesn't need to learn the moves in the booklet, but rather to use the same sword technique from time to time. Prepare some things for him to keep slashing."
Liang Pingshan bowed and said, "Yes!"
Long Shaojun continued, "As for advancing into the western region, there's no need to rush. We must wait until we have the strength. However, during this time, you must try your best to understand the situation there, the more detailed the better. Two years, I believe, just two years, and that place will be ours."
"Yes!" This time, Liang Pingshan, Chen Gai, Zhao Chaofan, and Chen Jin answered enthusiastically at the same time.
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do here for the time being, Long Shaojun asked Liang Pingshan for his bank account number before leaving.
On the street, Long Shaojun transformed into Long Juesha's appearance, called the Swiss bank to transfer five million US dollars to China, then exchanged it at the bank, obtaining over forty million. He then withdrew ten million in cash, which, combined with the cash withdrawn previously, was enough to buy the villa and pay the Hungry Wolf Gang.
Therefore, Long Shaojun deposited one million into the Hungry Wolf Gang's account, another nine million into several other accounts, and then transferred the remaining amount to the real estate agency to pay off the villa payment.
Having paid off the villa payment, Long Shaojun asked the bank to prepare 20 million yuan in cash for him the next day. He planned to transfer the money again. Although it was troublesome, he had to do it to prevent others from discovering his connection with Long Juesha. Otherwise, the women around him would be in danger. Thinking back to when he overheard the conversation of several elders of the Demonic Sect, they mentioned that the first way to deal with him besides inquiring about his relatives and friends was to find out about his family and friends. He could imagine that once a conflict broke out, if they couldn't do anything to him, they would have to threaten him with his family and friends. Thinking about it, his parents and wife were in their hands. He really didn't know whether to resist or surrender. Hmm, in the future, he would also have to learn this trick. Then he would see whether those benevolent heroes would rather their relatives die or do evil things for their relatives. Just thinking about their suffering, it was probably worse than death.
Having finished everything he needed to do, Long Shaojun checked the time and realized it was already past four in the afternoon. He thought about how he hadn't been to Yu Ruixiang Company for several days, meaning he hadn't seen his three wives, the beautiful women at the company
, and the foreign woman, Su Na. He decided he should go see them. With that thought, he went to a deserted alley, reverted to his original appearance as Long Shaojun, and headed towards the Jin Feng Building. Arriving at Yu Ruixiang Company, he found it completely transformed. Long Shaojun glanced at the large office building; it was now renovated and divided into individual cubicles. Employees were all engrossed in their work. As Long Shaojun entered the main office, the employees, of course, recognized him as the director and greeted him warmly.
Long Shaojun showed no airs of a director, returning their greetings with smiles, especially the beautiful young women, who were his main focus.
After walking around the cubicles, Long Shaojun entered one of the cubicles. There were two individual cubicles; one was the business manager's office, which was also He Biyue's office. The other cubicle was originally intended to be an office, but a director had not yet been appointed.
Entering He Biyue's office, He Biyue was talking to an employee. She looked up and saw Long Shaojun. Her eyes immediately lit up with joy. She said a few more words to the employee and told him to leave.
The employee, a middle-aged man, appeared hesitant and awkward in He Biyue's presence. Although he listened to her explanation, he dared not look up. He Biyue's beauty transcended ordinary beauty; not only was her face beautiful, but her temperament was also captivating. None of the male employees in the company could resist her beauty and charm. However, she always treated them coldly, scaring the men away from her. They could only secretly admire her or work hard, hoping to attract her attention, fantasizing that one day a windfall would fall from the sky and land right on their heads—that He Biyue would suddenly take a liking to them, and they would feel the happiness of possessing the whole world.
After the middle-aged employee left, He Biyue's face immediately changed from its previous aloofness to a charming allure, a slight smile appearing on her lips, her eyes revealing deep affection.
Long Shaojun waved his hand, and the door closed silently. In an instant, he had covered several meters and was already beside He Biyue.
He Biyue had just stood up when Long Shaojun pulled her into his arms, his lips sealing her mouth. She couldn't speak, only making soft moans. Her hands unconsciously clung to his waist, her body warming as she writhed passionately.
Long Shaojun, holding this celestial beauty—a true gem in the Eastern supernatural world—and inhaling her natural fragrance, was deeply moved. He could feel the love in her heart, a deep longing. He had only known her for a short time, and after taking her virginity, she had fallen so deeply in love with him. He didn't know how to express his love for He Biyue, so he could only kiss her lips forcefully, one hand around her waist, the other roaming over her body.
He Biyue, naturally alluring, couldn't withstand the touch of Long Shaojun's seductive hand. She immediately reacted, her body stiffening, trembling slightly, her moans growing louder.
Suddenly, He Biyue remembered something, her writhing body immediately stopped, her small mouth broke free from Long Shaojun's kiss, her head tilted back, and she said urgently, "Shaojun, not here."
Long Shaojun chuckled inwardly, knowing that He Biyue must have realized this was the office, and just outside the door were dozens of Yu Ruixiang employees. If there was any noise, they would definitely hear it outside, so of course she dared not continue.
Long Shaojun wasn't afraid of the employees outside hearing; he had already shielded the entire office. However, He Biyue was different from Wei Yuyan and Zhang Lijia; her fighting spirit was extremely strong. Once it started, it might not be over for at least an hour. It was already past four o'clock, and he had to leave work at five o'clock. There wasn't enough time, and besides, he still needed to go see Wei Yuyan, Zhang Lijia, and the other women.
Therefore, Long Shaojun didn't force He Biyue, and said, "Biyue, have you missed me these past few days?"
