Under the setting sun, the pier was quiet and warm.
However, at this moment, a terrifying atmosphere enveloped the dock. The dock, which should have been extremely busy, was actually silent at this moment.
Li Ming sat on the edge of the boat, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped the blood on the purple sword bit by bit. He wiped it very carefully, as if no one was around.
The surrounding people didn't even dare to breathe loudly as they looked at Li Ming in fear.
Just as everyone was about to have a mental breakdown, Li Ming spoke.
"Now, this dock is mine. If you feel that it's inappropriate, you can say it.”
Li Ming's words made many people heave a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if they changed their boss. After all, Wang Tiezhu wasn't good enough.
Not far from the dock, the eyes of the middle-aged man who was staring at Li Ming lit up.
He had been following Li Ming for an entire day. From the first time he saw Li Ming, he knew that this kid was not simple. Now, it confirmed his thoughts.
"I told you I wouldn't be wrong. Just like Draconic Seven, this kid was not to be trifled with!”the middle-aged man concluded.
"Alright, since no one objects, this matter is settled. Of course, I won't treat everyone unfairly. Everyone's salary was doubled. That's it."
Raise his salary? The people at the dock who were originally afraid of him now actually felt that Li Ming was somewhat friendly.
"Big brother, how should we deal with these bastards?”Little Buzzcut looked at Li Ming and asked for his opinion.
This kid was very smart and courageous. He was a talent. Li Ming had high hopes for Little Buzzcut.
Li Ming nodded, acknowledging the title of Little Flathead.
"What name?"
"This one is called Zhou Jian. This is Wang Li, my brother.”
Zhou Jian hurriedly pulled Wang Li to Wang Tiezhu.
"Are you stupid? Say something! Call me big brother!" Zhou Jian pushed Wang Li.
Only then did Wang Li react.
"Big Brother!" He was too nervous. After all, it was his first time experiencing such a big scene.
"Alright, you two follow me. You won't go wrong. Don't worry.”
Li Ming successfully took in two underlings.
Li Ming turned to look at the remaining Sea Dragon Gang members. He despised them from the bottom of his heart.
Since he had chosen to come out, he had to always remember that loyalty was the most important. This group of people were just local ruffians and hooligans. They really had nothing to do with loyalty.
Moreover, fighting and killing were inevitable. These people didn't have skills or courage. Li Ming really didn't know what use they could be.
"Wang Tiezhu and his brothers are all dead. You don't have to guard this place anymore.”
Li Ming wanted to dismiss them.
"Big brother, don't let us go. We'll acknowledge you as our big brother.”
At this moment, someone begged Li Ming. They had been in the gang for so many years, but they did not have any skills. Of course, he was not willing to do manual labor. It would be best if he could continue being a hooligan.
Although the gangsters in Shanghai Bund were not upper-class people, they did not have to worry about food and drink.
Li Ming firmly disagreed. He knew very well that these people followed him to make a living. They liked leisure and hated hard work. They did not want to achieve anything great at all.
The sect had just been established, and its foundation was not stable yet. What he needed was someone capable and skilled. He didn't want to spend money to raise a bunch of useless people who only knew how to run when something happened. What Li Ming needed now was people who would fight for him. After all, as the boss, he couldn't always take the lead.
Seeing that Li Ming was not persuaded. Everyone could only leave. They did not dare to provoke Li Ming anymore. The scene of Li Ming killing people just now was still lingering in their hearts.
Li Ming couldn't be bothered to care about the future of these people. After all, as long as they were willing to work hard at a young age, they would definitely not starve to death.
There was only one person left. Li Ming was a little worried.
This person was the old supervisor in his fifties. His hair was already white, and he looked at Li Ming with a worried expression.
"Give me a way out and let me stay.”
Li Ming really couldn't dismiss such a person who was over fifty years old. However, what could a person of such age do?
Old Master couldn't possibly kill people with him, right? At such an old age, he didn't know anything. What else could he do if he left this place? He probably couldn't do anything except beg for food.
The reason why Li Ming was considering the old supervisor's future was because he had a good impression of the old supervisor. This old man was kind-hearted and his character was acceptable.
Li Ming was willing to give a kind person a way out. The world was not good, so kindness was even more precious.
This was the only good impression Li Ming had of the old supervisor.
"Alright, uncle, you can stay and help me look after this dock. I'm short of people now, so you have to take care of me.”
Logically speaking, reliable and young people should be used to guard the dock. After all, there would often be people causing trouble at the dock. Without a person who could fight and control the situation, it really wouldn't do.
But now that Li Ming had no one in his hands, and the old supervisor was experienced, he successfully advanced.
Just like that, the old supervisor successfully stayed behind.
Li Ming handed a cigarette to each of his underlings and lit one for himself. The three of them sat quietly at the dock.
The dock returned to its usual hustle and bustle. The old uncle began to loudly instruct his subordinates to deal with the scene. As expected, experienced people dealt with it quickly and decisively.
In fact, the way to deal with them was simple. They just threw all the corpses into the river to feed the fish.
Every day in Shanghai, there was constant fighting and killing. Every day, there were at least 50 corpses thrown into the river.
The detectives were too lazy to deal with it.
"Big brother! Which gang do we belong to?"
Wang Li asked Li Ming about the matter that concerned him the most.
