The two girls immediately panicked and pulled Xia Fang to kneel in front of him, saying," Master, don't chase us away. Because of this matter, our family doesn't recognize us anymore. We have nowhere to go." We can do anything as long as you don't chase us away. Wuuuu..."
Li Yi frowned and asked," Why are they like this? If it wasn't for the two of you, they wouldn't have survived. Why would they treat you like this?”
Liu Yan and Xia Fang's faces were filled with tears as they said," There's nothing we can do about it. They think that the two of us have already lost our chastity. In our place, they hate women who lose their chastity without a status. If it weren't for Hu Liu's deterrence, the two of us might have been beaten to death by them.”
Li Yi was stunned." You two weren't hurt by Hu Liu?"”
The two girls blushed and shook their heads. They looked at each other and Liu Yan said,"Hu Liu wanted to…" However, it seems that he can't do it there, so..." As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly and did not dare to say anything else.
Li Yi was overjoyed, but he could not show it too quickly. He pretended to be innocent and said," Since that's the case, you can go back and prove to your family that you didn't, uh, do that.”
Liu Yan and Xia Fang shook their heads at the same time and said," They don't recognize us anymore. No matter what we say, they won't believe us. If they know that Hu Liu is already dead, they might capture us and soak us in a pig cage. How would we dare to go back?"”
Li Yi pretended to be in a difficult position as he thought about it." Alright, you guys get up. Just serve me tea and water. I don't need you to do anything else. Is that okay?”He was already going crazy in his heart, thinking to himself, This is a real top-notch woman, completely different from the movies! When will I eat them? Oh, no, I can't be too impatient, lest I ruin my image, okay!'
Liu Yan and Xia Fang were instantly filled with joy, but they were also a little disappointed." Thank you, Master. We will definitely serve you well."”The two of them looked at each other and blushed at the same time. They thought to themselves, Old Master is so good-looking and kind!'...
Li Yi took note of the duo's expressions and chuckled to himself. On the surface, he nodded solemnly and said," You guys rest. I have something to do outside."”
Liu Yan and Xia Fang bowed and said," Yes, Master. Take care."”
Hongxin Hall was located in a small and medium-sized casino and smoking hall. It covered an area of about 300 square meters and was a small entertainment venue with two floors. The signboard hanging outside was Hongxin Entertainment. Due to Li Yi's interference, the doors were closed and there were no customers downstairs.
As he knew that the thugs downstairs would be his first batch of subordinates, Li Yi did not use too much force. He only temporarily incapacitated them. Now that everyone had gradually recovered, it was obvious that Monkey had already told them and they had all received their share of the money. Seeing Li Yi come out, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration.
In this era, even though people in the underworld were loyal, they still had to look at the person. A greedy and stingy boss like Hu Liu would naturally not be supported by them. Although Li Yi had destroyed their rice bowls, he had given them an even stronger rice bowl. Furthermore, he did not take it all for himself. He had even given them a share of the money, and he was very powerful. It was better to follow such a person than to follow that damn dog, Hu Liu, right?
Monkey hurriedly came forward and rubbed his hands. He said with a smile," Boss, I've already spoken to them. They've all decided to follow you, Boss. Hehe."”It was as if a slave had done something his master liked and was asking for a reward. It was very wretched.
Li Yi rolled his eyes at him and said," Look at that lackey of yours. Don't put on such a disgusting expression in front of me in the future. It makes me angry."”As soon as he said that, all the Hong Xin cousins present burst into laughter.
Monkey chuckled awkwardly and said," Boss, don't laugh at me.”
Li Yi smiled and said," Alright, go to the side."”He turned to look at the fifty men in front of him and said," Brothers, my name is Li Yi. I'll be your boss from now on." Monkey should have told you all about my goal. Subduing the underworld is only my first step. The second step is to chase all the foreigners who invade China out of China. This can only be done with everyone's support. Everyone should have heard of Liu Bang, right? He's just a hooligan, but if he can become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I believe we can do the same. Do you agree?"
At first, everyone was shocked by his bold words. When they heard the end, everyone's blood boiled. Emperor, even if he wasn't the emperor himself, he could at least be a general or something, right? These people were basically poor people. If it wasn't for the incompetence of the Qing government that made them unable to live normally, who would live such a bloody life? Now that he had a bigger goal, and looking at how confident his boss was, he wanted to have a bright future and bring honor to his ancestors.
Li Yi saw that everyone's morale had been boosted. He smiled and said," Okay, everyone, don't get too excited. It would take a long time to do this. The road is a step-by-step one, so now we have to set our sights on the underworld in Shanghai. Only by annexing them one by one can we become stronger and stronger. To do all this, it was impossible without strength. Today, I've defeated you all by myself. To be honest, other than your bodies being stronger than ordinary people, your true strength is still very weak. I hope you can work harder and strengthen your abilities. "I don't need you to do anything for the time being. When I've consolidated all the small gangs, I'll start training you, understand?”
Everyone was a little embarrassed. After all, there were so many people, but they were actually defeated by Boss alone. It was simply extremely embarrassing. However, when they heard that Boss wanted to help them train and make them stronger, they were also very excited. He immediately shouted," Yes, Boss."
Li Yi nodded in satisfaction and turned to Monkey." Monkey, I'll leave Hongxin to you for now. I'm going out for a few days." By the way, don't disturb the two women in my room. If they need anything, you have to do it in advance, understand?”
Monkey did not expect his boss to let him take the lead. He immediately patted the ribs on his chest excitedly and said," Boss, leave it to me. I guarantee that I'll complete the mission."”
Li Yi smiled and took out some silver notes. He handed them to Monkey and said," Take these silver notes and fix everything that's broken here. If someone from above comes looking for me, make them wait for two days. I'll be back in a few days. Don't disappoint me, understand?"”
Monkey said," Got it, Boss. Don't worry. I definitely won't let Boss down."”
Li Yi nodded and patted Monkey on the shoulder. He turned around and walked out of Hongxin Hall.
After subduing the station, the Lord God's Ring gave Li Yi a few thousand points. Killing a person gave him one point, but after killing Hu Liu, the Main God gave him ten points. According to God, he had killed Hu Liu when he had a gun and was even aiming at him. That was why he had given him more than normal. Although there were very few of them, no matter how small the ants were, they still had some meat, right?
In the following days, Li Yi conquered more than ten small guilds like he conquered Hongxin Hall. He killed all those who did not obey him ruthlessly. After a period of integration, Li Yi now had the first batch of power. Of course, some people only submitted to him on the surface, but they still kept playing tricks behind his back. Speaking of which, there were many poor people in that era, and there were also many people without bones. If he gave more money, it would be easy to bribe him. Wouldn't it be easy to monitor everyone's movements if they let their subordinates secretly report the news to him? As long as those people who were up to no good were discovered, they would be killed as a warning to others.
If he had killed him with a single shot, it would not have been a big deal. After all, life in the martial arts world was a life of bloodshed. It was either you die or I die. On the other hand, Li Yi's methods were a little violent. As long as it was a traitor who fell into his hands, he would beat them into minced meat with his fists. This method made everyone tremble in fear. Even though he was terrified, Li Yi would still reward those who reported him. Only by holding a stick and a carrot in one hand would he be able to control his subordinates better. At the same time, he could also intimidate the group of bosses who were openly submitting to him but were secretly scheming against him, so that they would not betray him.
Monkey was a very smart person and knew how to adapt to the situation. He respected and feared Li Yi, his boss, from the bottom of his heart. Although he hated those traitors, Li Yi's methods were sometimes too much, so he advised," President, if you want to kill these traitors, just kill them. Why do you have to do this?”
Li Yi sneered in disdain," The people of China are too cowardly. They value harmony in everything." However, those superpowers often see this and bully us. Just think about it, how many people did the foreign powers have in China? Every single person in China could drown them with a single spit. Such a small number of people, yet they were able to toy with the entire Celestial Empire in the palm of their hands. Wasn't this very sad? If he wanted to completely change this situation, he had to have the spirit of iron and blood.
Besides, what do you think we're going to do? Without a loyal subordinate, we can forget about doing anything in the future. "Those traitors seem to be obedient on the surface, but they keep playing tricks behind our backs. Such people will only become a scourge. Sooner or later, they will betray us for their own benefits. At that time, it will not be a joke. Only by making them completely afraid would they be reminded not to be traitors again. Then, through specialized training, we can make them completely become our strength, understand?”
In fact, his so-called specialized training could be completely regarded as brainwashing education. He had instilled a message into them for a long time, making them completely treat that message as their own dogma and completely obey his orders. Perhaps this was the only way he could fully control a force as soon as possible and complete the mission given by the Lord God as soon as possible. Of course, if he could unlock a layer of authority in advance, Li Yi could even think of creating a Red Alert base or something. By then, not only would he not have to worry about manpower, he would even have planes, tanks, battleships, and even atomic bombs. He had always been thinking about the 200,000 points he would get from destroying a country!
Monkey nodded thoughtfully and said," Yes, President. I understand." President, our Renaissance Society now has three halls and three thousand people. He also had a lot of money. Could he start the training plan now?”
Li Yi replied," Yes, although there are a little fewer people, it's about time. Here is a plan I wrote. Take a closer look. I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, without absolute strength, you can't always sit in a high position and command others. If one day you were surpassed by someone else, then you would have to step down from your current position and let the person who surpassed you take over. Take care of yourself."
Monkey was shocked. It could be said that this year had been a year of bloodshed. Monkey had gradually become ruthless, but that was because he had a gun in his hand. Without a gun, he was not as powerful as a random underling. Upon hearing his boss 'words, Monkey immediately became a little nervous. He made up his mind that he definitely could not let his brothers look down on him. He decided to step up his training and not let others look down on him.
Li Yi saw that Monkey's gaze was becoming more and more determined. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder." Hou Qing, you're very smart, but the only pity is that you've read too few books. Although you know a lot of things, you're still lacking in intelligence. If you want to keep your current position, you must have a battle prowess that surpasses others, or you can specialize in strategy and make yourself a strategist in the future. Do you understand?"
Monkey was taken aback before he immediately understood." Yes, President. Hou Qing will definitely not disappoint Boss."”
Li Yi smiled and said," Very good. Take a look at that training plan. Then, bring a sum of money and go to a faraway place to recruit people. Find a secluded mountain village to train. You don't have to worry about the equipment. I have a way. As for the 3,000 people in the three halls below, wait a moment. I'll write a letter to my master and ask him to send my two junior brothers over to train them.”As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter. He sealed it and handed it to Monkey.
Monkey looked at the envelope and was immediately a little excited." President, your master is Teacher Hoen Di from Tianjin?”
Li Yi asked curiously," You know my master?”
Monkey nodded repeatedly and said," Yes. One year, Master Huo Endi escorted a ship through the village I lived in. At that time, I was often bullied by a group of ruffians in the village. I was once saved by Master Huo, so I always remember him. I didn't expect that he was your master.”
Li Yi smiled and said," What a coincidence. I haven't seen Master in a long time." Send someone to deliver the letter and tell him that I miss him.”
Monkey nodded happily and said," I'll go myself. I haven't seen Master Huo in a long time, hehe!”
Li Yi nodded and said," Alright then. When you're back, we'll start the training plan." Hurry up. We don't have much free time.”
Monkey said," Yes, President."
Li Yi said," Go ahead. Also, let Jiang Qing, matchmaker, and Lou Ling in."”
Monkey nodded and turned to leave. After a while, three people walked in. A 25-year-old woman wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam had heavy makeup on her face. She was very beautiful and exuded a seductive aura. The other two were men in their thirties. One of them had eagle eyes and a hooked nose. He had a small mustache on his mouth and looked a little skinny. The other one always had a smirk on his face, and his eyes were always shining with an evil light. He was a little plump. As soon as the three of them walked in, they saw Li Yi sitting at his desk, smiling at them. The expressions of the three men changed immediately. A trace of fear flashed in their eyes as they stood respectfully in front of him.
Li Yi waved his hand and said," Sit down, don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to my own people. As long as it's not someone who wants to betray me, I'm still easy to talk to."”
The three of them knew that these words were a warning to them. Among the three of them, the woman was the boss of the Butterfly Society. She was in charge of many prostitutes. Of course, there was also a group of women with decent strength. The other two were also the bosses of two medium-sized sects. Back then, they had hundreds or even thousands of subordinates. Now that they had been subdued by this young man who was just in his early twenties, although they were shocked by his strength on the surface, they were still quite unconvinced in their hearts. They thought that he had taken advantage of the situation. However, defeat was defeat. After they submitted back then, it was not good for them to go back on their word. They only thought about finding an opportunity to kill him in the future.
It wasn't until a few days ago that she saw him beat up the dozens of trusted aides they had sent to contact others into meat paste with his fists that she realized that nothing they did could escape the eyes of this young man. Her gang had been quickly infiltrated by him. At the same time, they were also very afraid of his methods. The look in their eyes turned from unconvinced to more and more afraid. They even woke up in their sleep for the past two nights. Now that he had said this, it was equivalent to an ultimatum. If they still did not obey him, their outcome would probably be no different from those minced meat.
The three of them hurriedly said respectfully," President, we understand. We will definitely listen to your orders in the future.”
Li Yi chuckled and said," Hehe, that's more like it. Don't worry. Although you're under me now, you have to think about it. As long as everyone works together, you won't just be in charge of one hall in the future. You might even be in charge of a city or even a province... Do you know?" There were too many cases of giving a sweet date after hitting a stick on the Internet. As long as one wasn't a fool, they knew that they absolutely couldn't force others into a corner. Unless it was an enemy, it was still necessary to use a soft approach. Of course, Li Yi was well aware of such methods.
The three of them were all experienced, so they wouldn't bet just because of his two empty promises. After thinking about it, she decided that she would rather continue to go against him and be beaten into meat paste when she was discovered. Or, they could kill him and continue to keep the hundreds of people in their hands. They might as well fight with him. After all, the young man in front of him had only spent a year to conquer more than ten gangs and form a new force. After all, with his methods, what he said was not hopeless. He nodded and said," Yes, President." This time, he was much more obedient.
Li Yi nodded and said," Very good. Then, I've asked you to come here today to tell you that as the three Hall Masters of Renaissance Society, you not only have to manage the businesses under your command, but you also have to train your subordinates to make them stronger. You have to know that we're going to face the massive Freemasons next. Moreover, there are many experts in the Freemasons. If you're not strong enough, you might fail.
" Hmm, I'll give you a year. No matter what method you use, you must train the 3,000 men under you into all kinds of talents, be it martial arts or firearms. Also, I heard that many people in our club are smoking. "This is very bad. You should know very well that smoking will corrode everyone's bodies and make you weaker and weaker. We, the Renaissance Society, will never allow anyone to smoke. If you want to stay in Renaissance Society, you better quit smoking, do you hear me?”
After Jiang Qing and Lou Ling made up their minds to follow him, they had already completely obeyed. They looked at each other with a bitter smile in their eyes. The matchmaker covered her mouth and secretly smiled. The three of them replied at the same time," Yes, President. I will definitely quit smoking. I will never touch that thing again."”
Li Yi looked at the three of them and smirked." Don't try to brush me off. I'll give you three months. If I find any of you or your subordinates smoking after three months, hehe, I'll personally come and help you get rid of your addiction. That won't be fun." Well, that's all for now. Hong Niang, there are many people coming and going to Rouge Pavilion. You should have a wide range of people. Do you know any foreigners?”
The matchmaker smiled charmingly." Of course, President."”
Li Yi asked," Are there any Germans among them?”
The matchmaker frowned and thought for a moment. Her beautiful eyes lit up and she said," There are really two Germans, and they are two officers. They have been going there every day recently. Is there anything you need?"”
