Niu Sanguang, Zhou Jian, and Wang Li, the three people who had become Li Ming's underlings in the first place, had become big shots in a single leap.
The Sharp Swords Society had also gone from being unknown to a famous sect in Zhabei District. Zhabei District and Pu Dong District were originally under Chen Mou's control, but now Pu Dong was almost completely devoured by Long Qi. The two streets that Li Ming took over were the dividing line between Zhabei and Pu Dong
On the first day of taking over the two streets under Chen Mou, Li Ming's table was filled with colorful papers. In addition to the docks he seized from the Sea Dragon Gang and some of the properties of Rat King Xian Kun, Li Ming became rich.
This was only Li Ming's daily income. From this, one could imagine how much wealth Chen Mou and the others had accumulated over the years. One could also foresee how difficult the lives of the people at the bottom were. However, all of this had nothing to do with Li Ming. He was not a saint who would save people in distress. He didn't need any merit. All he needed was luck.
Li Ming didn't feel much about the items on the table. What he was after now was no longer these mundane things.
Zhou Jian and the other two rubbed their hands happily. Their expressions were indescribably excited. They had never seen so much money in front of them. Now, it was great.
"Big brother, what should we do now?”Zhou Jian asked Li Ming, but his eyes were fixed on the pile of colorful papers on the table.
Li Ming found it funny. If he didn't get the sword, how different would he be from these ordinary people?
"How many people did you take in today?" Ignoring their burning gazes, Li Ming asked about the sect members.
Niu Sanguang reacted faster. He organized his words and replied," It's all thanks to your reputation, big brother. You would never have thought that there were more than a hundred people who came to join today. After our selection, 40 people were left. These 40 people are brave enough to fight and kill. They definitely meet your requirements.”
" Forty people. Forty people is enough for this territory," Li Ming said as he stroked his beardless chin.
"Big Brother, what should we do with this money?”
Wang Li didn't hear anything and finally couldn't help but ask. Zhou Jian and Niu Sanguang perked up their ears. This was also the question they were most concerned about. However, they did not dare to ask Li Ming directly like Wang Li.
Li Ming laughed." You silly fool. Are you afraid that I'll take your salary?”
"How about this? Use this money to buy the herbs on the list for me. The rest will be divided equally between the three of you.”As he spoke, he took out a list of medicinal herbs.
Zhou Jian and the other two looked at each other, puzzled by Li Ming's actions. However, when he thought about how the rest of the money would belong to them, he couldn't help but smile.
Everyone in Shanghai knew that there was a Li Ming in Zhabei.
He was vicious and merciless. He was good at wielding a long sword. If he didn't draw his sword, it would be fine. However, when the sword was drawn, it would definitely be stained with blood.
When Li Ming was mentioned, people would unconsciously think of Long Qi. These two were the youngest and most promising people in Shanghai. Needless to say, Draconic Seven had already grown to become an overlord-level figure like Bai Li and Smiling Buddha. However, Draconic Seven's current status was earned by his punches and kicks.
Li Ming was different. He had only attacked the Sea Dragon Gang alone. Most of his properties were given by Chen Mou, and a small part was taken from Rat King Xian Kun. The dock left behind by the Sea Dragon Gang was just an addition.
Many people were guessing the relationship between Li Ming and Chen Mou. There were many different opinions. Some even said that Li Ming was Chen Mou's illegitimate child.
Li Ming didn't care about what the outside world said. As long as it wasn't said in front of him, it was fine.
In a luxurious villa, Draconic Seven was feeding his pet a large piece of beef with a cigar in his mouth. Although his pet looked very obedient, his subordinates still stood far away.
No matter how obedient the tiger looked, it was still a tiger. Ordinary people would not dare to approach it.
"So Chen Mou really gave two streets to Li Ming?”Draconic Seven asked nonchalantly. The big multicolored tiger was nibbling on the beef in his hand.
"It's absolutely true, but I don't think he'll send me off. Li Ming should have sided with me. I'm not that generous." the subordinate replied seriously.
"No, I'll definitely give it to you. " Li Ming is such an interesting person. He wouldn't have joined me," Draconic Seven threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and denied his subordinate's statement.
"Impossible! I'm not sure about Li Ming, but with Chen Mou's stingy personality, he wouldn't give money away for free.”Draconic Seven's subordinate said subconsciously.
As soon as he said that, he regretted it. He knew Draconic Seven's character very well.
Sure enough, Draconic Seven turned around abruptly and stared at him with a sharp gaze." Are you doubting my judgment?”
Anyone who met Draconic Seven's domineering gaze would feel their hearts palpitate. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the subordinate repeatedly said that he did not dare.
Draconic Seven wasn't a cruel person. Although he was a little fierce, he was only treating his enemies. He was undoubtedly very good to his own people. At least before Li Ming appeared, Draconic Seven's subordinates were treated the best in Shanghai.
However, there were some people who were born with the qualities of kings. Their every move had the charm to subdue people's hearts. Draconic Seven was undoubtedly such a person. If Draconic Seven was not born in this world but in a fantasy world, he could have changed his name to Long Aotian.
There were many people who were paying attention to Li Ming like Long Qi, including Bai Pi Li, Smiling Buddha, and Chou Lao Si.
