Several days later.
Night fell, and undercurrents surged under the quiet night of New York.
Under the arrangement of the Fishker Group, the leaders of the top ten most powerful gangs in New York gathered together tonight.
At this moment, in a private high-end clubhouse in Hell's Kitchen, in the royal box on the highest floor.
Wesley sat at the head of a long conference table, presiding over the situation.
As the core figure of the Fishker Criminal Organization, as well as Jin Bing's confidant, he was indeed qualified to sit in this position.
The people sitting at the other seats of the conference table were the leaders of the other ten powerful gangs in the city except for the Fishker Group.
Qi Yu and Wesley had previously discussed how to deal with these gang leaders.
In the end, the two of them had the same idea. They both felt that they should keep their lives and use 'appeasement' instead of 'obliteration'.
This was because both of them knew, especially Wesley, who had more than twenty years of experience in the underworld, that controlling this underground world wasn't as simple as he thought. If it was effective just by killing the leaders of the various sects, then Jin Bing's position in the past years might have been replaced by someone else.
Controlling this underground world was an important part of having great strength, but it was more about various methods, strategies, balancing techniques, and long-term planning.
With all of this in mind, Wesley decided to make the various gangs choose to submit. This was much more stable and long-lasting than an endless slaughter.
"Sect leaders, first of all, I would like to welcome all of you for gracing us with your presence tonight.”
Wesley politely said to everyone in front of the host's seat.
And no one had any good expressions on their faces. Only one or two gang leaders who had a good relationship with Wesley in the past nodded politely.
Although Wesley felt a hint of displeasure, he didn't show it.
" Mr. Jin Bing is dead," he said after a pause." I'm in charge of the current Fishker Group."”
" The reason why I invited you here tonight is to send a signal to you. Although Mr. Jin Bing is no longer around, the Fishker Group is still the king of the underground world in New York. The top ten gangs should continue to submit to us as before.”
Hearing Wesley's words, the conference table was instantly filled with scornful laughter.
One of the gang leaders, who had long been dissatisfied with the domineering rule of the Fishker Group, sang a different tune."
"Hehe, when Jin Bing was still around, we respected him, admired him, and revered him. But now, Jin Bing has already gone to hell. You're just a small assistant. What right do you have to continue leading us like before?”
With that said, the other gang leaders remained silent. No one took the initiative to speak up for Wesley.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be on their side, the sect leader was pleased and continued,
"In the past, Jin Bing alone occupied more than 70% of the city's territory and resources. Our ten sects combined only occupied less than 30%. Even though the city looked peaceful on the surface, there were already undercurrents surging in the city.”
"I suggest that we re-divide our territory from tonight onwards.”
"Of course, I believe that everyone here is the same as me. They don't want to solve the problem through violence. In the end, both sides will suffer, and other small gangs will take advantage of them.”
" Therefore, it is best for us to settle this issue peacefully at this conference table.”
After hearing this, Wesley smiled and said,""After saying so much, what you mean is that you don't want to continue to submit to the Fishker Group?”
"I believe I have made myself clear.”The gang leader shrugged and looked at the other leaders as he spoke. Most of them agreed with him.
If they were to vote democratically, the outcome would be obvious. Wesley would lose.
But Wesley seemed to have a backup plan. He calmly spread his hands and smiled."Alright then! Perhaps we should vote?”
Everyone expressed that they could accept it.
Hence, everyone began to vote.
In the end, only two of the ten gang leaders were willing to stand on Wesley's side.
However, there were as many as five people who opposed to submitting to the Fishker Group.
As for the remaining three people, they did not express their views. Perhaps they had not thought it through, or perhaps they simply wanted to wait and see.
Seeing the voting results, Wesley didn't lose his composure as usual. He maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and cast a sinister glance at the five gang leaders who opposed him."Very good. In that case, you can be eliminated.”
Hearing this, the five big shots were first stunned, then they could not help but laugh.
"Eliminated? Wesley, are you trying to kill us here?”
A golden-haired big shot laughed and slammed the table after saying that. Immediately, the elite bodyguards behind them took out their guns and maintained a vigilant state of preparation.
For a moment, the situation in the room was tense.
Purely in terms of the number of bodyguards, Wesley's armed forces were at an absolute disadvantage. Those sly old foxes also knew that neither Wesley, who was presiding over this negotiation, nor they would easily open fire.
Wesley calmly lit a cigar.
"That's right, I want to kill you.”
Just as Wesley finished speaking!
Qi Yu, who was in stealth mode, released his spirit energy.
Instantly!
The bodies of the five sect leaders suddenly exploded like fireworks.
Scarlet fragments and blood splattered in all directions. The clean faces of the other big shots sitting nearby were stained with warm blood.
The bodyguards brought by the five opposition leaders did not even have the chance to pull the trigger before they turned into a pile of minced meat at the same time.
Since then, all the big shots who had clearly expressed their opposition had died suddenly!
This scene stunned the other five big shots on the spot, including the three who had not expressed their views just now.
They wiped the blood off their faces, then looked at the gang leader who had been reduced to a pile of minced meat on the seat next to them. Their originally calm expressions instantly turned into one of terror. They had been shattered by Wesley's incomparably strange killing methods.
Smiling and nodding at the two sect leaders who had raised their hands to express their willingness to submit, Wesley turned to the other three sect leaders who hadn't expressed their opinions before. With a sinister smile on his face, he asked,""What about you guys?"
Hearing that, the three sect leaders were terrified. They immediately raised their hands obediently and surrendered, afraid that if they were slow, they would suddenly explode and die like the five guys just now.
At this moment, everyone looked at Wesley with a hint of fear.
They had never expected that this refined man in a suit in front of them would actually have such terrifying and strange methods. Moreover, his attacks were so decisive and ruthless!
There was even a moment when they couldn't help but wonder if the death of Jin Bing, the former emperor of the underworld, had something to do with Wesley.
Could it be the classic way for a lackey to kill his boss to get to the top?
However, at this moment, they obviously did not dare to question him face to face.
After all, the blood of the opposition was still warm.
Wesley stood in front of the host's seat at the conference table and took out his phone to make a call.
Soon, five people were brought in.
These five people were the higher-ups of the five gangs from before. Although their positions in their respective gangs were not the same, with second-in-command, third-in-command, and fourth-in-command, they all had one thing in common: they were all " close to Wesley."
"From now on, you will be the leaders of your respective sects.”
Wesley said coolly as he took a puff of his cigar.
In a trance, it was as if gold was alive.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Wesley!”
The five men who had successfully been promoted to the leaders of their respective sects had joyful expressions on their faces as they submitted to Wesley in unison.
Wesley held his cigar in one hand and raised his wine glass with the other, smiling.""Alright. Next, let's toast to the bright future of New York's underground world!”
The gang leaders didn't dare to not give him face. They also raised their glasses and stood up to say," Cheers." However, the expressions on their faces seemed a little unnatural.
After finishing his glass of wine, Wesley led his bodyguards out of the high-end clubhouse.
As soon as Wesley left, the big shots who had just witnessed the strange explosion of the opposition felt their legs go weak. They let out a long sigh and fell back to their seats as if their lives were safe.
"This Wesley is even more terrifying than Jin Bing…"
