Chapter 13 Those are my brothers
"Don't they hold a banquet when someone dies?"
Even though it was ancient times, there should still be such rules.
Mei Yongning shook his head after hearing this and said directly.
"I heard that Lei Yushan fainted on the spot after learning of Lei Lu's death, and he is currently staying at home and not seeing anyone. It seems that he will not have the chance now."
"What a pity, I was hoping to have a nice meal."
Ye Tian's tone was wistful, as if he had lost something important.
"..."
Other people's sons have all died, and you're still thinking about having a nice meal?
When I first met Ye Tian, I saw that he looked so innocent and naive that I thought he wasn't suited for gangs. But now it seems that I'm the one who's innocent.
If even someone as shameless and ruthless as him can't make it in a gang, then nobody in the world can make it in this line of work.
"Oh, right!"
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly spoke up as if he had just thought of something.
"Where does Kito usually stay?"
Ye Tian completely forgot about Lei Lu's matter. Now that he had the money, he should start thinking about the territory issue.
When gangs in the martial arts world clash, it's not as simple as just wanting to fight. There needs to be a plausible reason for it to happen. This is an open rule of the martial arts world, and Lei Lu's death provided Ye Tian with just such a reason.
All I can say is that Lei Lu died a good thing.
Seeing Ye Tian suddenly raise the ghost head, Mei Yongning realized something and immediately spoke.
"Ghost Head doesn't have any particular hobbies. He usually likes to gather a group of brothers to drink. He's a generous man, and his brothers are all very loyal to him. If Master Ye wants to find Ghost Head, he just needs to go to the gambling den he manages, and he'll basically find him."
Normally, when there's nothing much going on, Kito rarely leaves the territory he manages.
He's not greedy for money, nor is he lustful; he just enjoys gathering with a group of brothers for drinks.
Such people are indeed rare in gangs.
"Um!"
Ye Tian nodded, indicating that he understood.
"In the next few days, gather more people; I have things to do."
"clear!"
Seeing that Ye Tian was about to leave, Mei Yongning thought for a moment and still reminded him.
"However, if Master Ye really intends to fight the Earth Dragon Gang, Boss Lei might have objections."
These words sound like they are trying to dissuade Ye Tian from taking action.
But in reality, it was a reminder to Ye Tian that he needed a reason to take action, at least one that would prevent Boss Lei from openly saying no.
Just as Ye Tian was about to speak.
The familiar voice came again.
[Host-triggered selection detected]
[Option 1: Join forces with the Earth Dragon Gang! Rewards: +10 Basic Loyalists, +100 Forged Blade]
[Option 2: Steadily accumulate strength! Rewards: +10 Beginner Loyalists, +100 Forged Blade]
I like this kind of offer where the reward is the same.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Mei Yongning.
"Lei Lu and I are like brothers. Now that he has been killed by the Earth Dragon Gang, if I cannot avenge my brother, how can I have the face to live in this world?"
He spoke with such righteous indignation.
"..."
Like brothers? What if I wasn't there when the tension was at its peak?
Let's just leave it at that. After all, this reason is enough to prevent Boss Lei from causing trouble for Ye Tian afterward.
"Master Ye is a man of great righteousness and integrity, I admire him greatly."
,,,
After leaving, Ye Tian, along with Wei Wu, prepared to go to Gui Tou's territory.
"What happened to the silver?"
Lei Yushan was really generous for his son. He thought he would only give a few thousand taels, but he didn't expect that the total amount in the several boxes would be fifty thousand taels. People who run money shops are indeed rich.
However, all of those coins bore the mark of Lei's Money Shop, and if they were taken out and spent directly, they would likely be discovered immediately.
The only solution is to melt it down and recast it.
"Don't worry, brother. The brothers have already found a place. I believe that in less than two days, they will be able to melt down all that money into pieces of silver."
This was something Ye Tian specifically instructed him to do.
It's less likely to be discovered if you take small pieces of silver out to spend.
This era is so much better. Even if you steal money, whether it's gold or silver, as long as you melt it down and recast it, you don't have to worry about being discovered.
"Well done."
Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction.
As they were talking, they arrived at the gambling den managed by Gui Tou. They had thought it would be a large place, but it turned out to be only the size of a two-courtyard house. Moreover, those who came to gamble here were mostly people from the lower class who dreamed of getting rich overnight.
They'd rather wear tattered clothes than not take out all their money to gamble and try their luck with the future.
,,,
Simultaneously.
At this moment, Gui Tou, as usual, was drinking with his brothers in a room in the backyard of the gambling den.
Just then, one of his men suddenly ran over.
"Brother Guitou, that Ye Tian, the boxing master, is here."
The air in the room became still.
"Master Ye?" Ghost Head couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Guitou, is it because of your attitude last time that that Fist Master Ye is holding a grudge and is causing trouble for you?"
"Damn it, how dare they cause trouble for Brother Ghost Head? Let's fight them!"
"That's right, we'll fight him to the death if necessary."
The people around him responded in unison, looking ready to fight Ye Tian to the death.
"Wait a minute!"
These brothers are loyal to him, so Gui Tou naturally wouldn't let them risk their lives for him. Fighting among fellow disciples is a serious crime, not to mention that Ye Tian's position in the gang is even higher than his own.
"Go and let Ye Tian in. If it's because of what happened last time, we can just explain it."
Gui Tou certainly didn't have any ill intentions towards Ye Tian, but of course, he didn't have any good feelings towards him either; they were just complete strangers who had met before.
"Yes, Brother Ghost Head."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate quickly left.
"Ghost Head Bro!"
The others wanted to say something, but Gui Tou interrupted them by raising his hand.
"I know my brothers are trying to save face, but that's precisely why I can't let them risk their lives for me."
Ghost Head was one of the few gangsters who prioritized loyalty above all else.
,,,
soon.
Ye Tian then led Wei Wu in from outside.
"It's so lively!"
Ignoring the dangerous gazes around him, Ye Tian looked at the wine and meat on the table and made a joke with a smile.
"How could you not invite me to something like drinking?"
Push someone aside and sit down in their seat.
Do you have a clean bowl? I'd like one.
"..."
Although he didn't know what Ye Tian was planning to do, after hearing this, Gui Tou gave his brother a wink, and soon a new bowl was brought over.
After pouring himself a bowl of wine, Ye Tian drank it straight away.
Those people, including Gui Tou, were all quietly watching Ye Tian drink.
As for Wei Wu, he stood quietly behind Ye Tian like an iron tower.
"Pfft!" Ye Tian spat it out immediately after drinking it.
"This tastes awful!"
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Gui Tou's expression darkened. Was this a provocation? Seeing Gui Tou stand up, all his subordinates also stood up at once, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Despite being in such an environment, Ye Tian showed no emotional fluctuations; instead, he smiled and looked over.
"I've heard that the wine at Yuxuelou is delicious. How about we go there for a drink?"
