Three days later.
At noon.
Nine Dragon Ice Room.
It was mealtime, and the restaurant's business was at its peak. The restaurant was full of customers, and a few waiters were busy.
Wen Nuoyan pushed open the door and glanced behind the counter out of habit.
Brother Kang, who usually sat inside to settle accounts, was not there.
Wen Nuoyan then saw Brother Kang coming out of the kitchen with two servings of beef noodles in his hands.
Brother Kang raised his head and noticed Wen Nuoyan at the door. A smile appeared on his chubby face.
"Ah Long, you're here."
Wen Nuoyan nodded and said,
"You're so busy today. Do you need my help?”
Brother Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"There's no need. You're already a boss. It's not appropriate for you to do this.
What do you want to eat?"
Wen Nuoyan didn't insist. He thought for a while and said,"
"Just do it the same way."
Brother Kang nodded.
"Alright, I'll get the kitchen to make it for you.”
Then, he returned to the kitchen.
Wen Nuoyan glanced at the lobby. It was already full. There were a few tables that had one or two empty seats, but he was not interested in sharing seats with others, so he took the stairs to the third floor.
At this moment, a familiar clear voice sounded,"
"Brother Long!"
Sandy sat on the chair and waved at Wen Nuoyan with a happy expression.
Wen Nuoyan glanced at her and nodded casually as a greeting.
Sandy pointed at the empty seat beside her and said,"
"Brother Long, come and sit with me.”
Wen Nuoyan waved his hand and was about to refuse.
Footsteps came from outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open and he walked in arrogantly.
He directly said to Wen Nuoyan,
"Brother Long, I've done what you asked me to do.”
Hearing this, Wen Nuoyan waved at him and walked upstairs at the same time."
"Come up and say it."
"Yes."
Arrogant followed Wen Nuoyan up the stairs.
In her seat, Sandy looked at Wen Nuoyan's back and pouted like a little hamster who had been angered.
A girl at the same table saw Sandy's expression and said with a smile,"
"I didn't expect that our Fairy would be defeated one day. She took the initiative to invite others and was ignored.”
Another girl continued,
"There's nothing I can do. It's a nine-striped dragon.”
Sandy wasn't convinced by his words. She snorted and said,"
"I let Brother Long off this time because he has something important to do. Next time, I'll definitely have dinner with him.”
The two girls laughed when they saw Sandy's serious expression.
Ever since she met Wen Nuoyan, she had been coming to the Nine Dragon Ice Room frequently. Whenever she met Wen Nuoyan, she would boldly strike up a conversation with him.
The reason was either to have a bowl of beef noodles made by Wen Nuoyan or to have a meal with him. She looked like she had made up her mind to pester him.
……
On the third floor.
In the office.
Wen Nuoyan walked in arrogantly and sat down on the boss 'chair.
Although he wasn't often here, Brother Kang had sent people to clean the office, so the office was kept very clean and there was no dust.
Wen Nuoyan took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth, about to light it.
Arrogant was quick to react. He took out his lighter and eagerly lit it for Wen Nuoyan.
Wen Nuoyan nodded, took a puff of his cigarette, blew out a large cloud of smoke, and asked,"
"What is the specific situation?"
Arrogant's expression turned serious. He organized his words and replied,
"I followed Brother Long's instructions and returned to Duke's Bar, Volcano's lair.
From there, I took in a group of underlings and took over all the surrounding places along Duke's Bar.
All these years, I've been managing Volcano's businesses, so it didn't take much effort.”
Wen Nuoyan asked,"
"Did you encounter any obstacles during the process?”
He nodded arrogantly and said,
"There are indeed some obstacles, but Brother Long, you sent Gao Jin to help me in advance.
I handed over all the people who were in my way to Gao Jin to deal with. That guy is really skilled. There was no problem at all. He solved it cleanly.”
Wen Nuoyan had long been aware of Gao Jin's ability, not to mention that he had given the alloy dagger to Gao Jin, which could be said to be like adding wings to a tiger.
How could Volcano's men be Gao Jin's match?
Wen Nuoyan flicked his cigarette ash."
"Continue."
He said arrogantly,
"After dealing with these people who were not convinced, the rest was much simpler. I took care of those places and underlings with a few words. Now, the entire Nine Dragons District is under my control.”
Hearing this result, Wen Nuoyan nodded in satisfaction and said,
"Very good, you did a good job.”
This showed the effect of arrogance.
If it was someone else, although they could take Volcano's territory in the end, they would have to resort to violence.
It was impossible to receive it as smoothly as Arrogance.
Once a conflict broke out, it would definitely attract the attention of others, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Arrogant heard Wen Nuoyan's praise and smiled."
"It's my duty to work for Brother Long.
By the way, Brother Long, when are you going to announce Volcano's death? I want to come over to you as soon as possible.”
Although Arrogant was already loyal to Wen Nuoyan, it was only in private.
He was requested by Wen Nuoyan to settle the territory first, and temporarily considered himself as Volcano's subordinate.
Wen Nuoyan thought for a moment and said,
"There's no rush. Your identity is still useful. Volcano's territory and manpower are all in your hands. You're the real Nine Dragons Division Leader.
Next, I will let you have the identity of the hall master.”
Arrogant asked worriedly,"
"I'm afraid those old guys in the club won't agree so easily. Even if they can't find Volcano, they'll still arrange for their confidant to be the Nine Dragons Division Leader.”
Wen Nuoyan narrowed his eyes and said lightly,"
"This is not up to them."
Hearing this, Arrogant was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Tiger Lei, the leader of United English Society, was still locked up by the police.
Whether it was Uncle Biao, Uncle Liu, or the other two hall masters, they were no match for Wen Nuoyan.
……
Two days later.
Due to the sudden disappearance of Volcano, no one could be seen alive or dead.
Uncle Biao decided to hold a club meeting and invite the higher-ups to discuss the volcano.
After all, Volcano was the leader of the Nine Dragons District. He had been hospitalized for a long time, but now that he had disappeared from the face of the earth, he had to send someone to manage his territory and business in the Nine Dragons District.
United English Society Main Hall.
This was a room that looked like a conference room. There was a long table in the middle, and a few seats were placed on both sides.
Near the southern wall was a sacrificial table with a plaque of the United Ying Society and a statue of Guan Yu.
The incense burner in front of the statue was filled with burning incense sticks.
At the long table, Uncle Biao sat at the head of the table.
Tiger Lei was locked up in the police station and couldn't come out, so he entrusted him to manage the affairs of Lianying Society.
Sitting on Uncle Biao's left was his uncle and sixth uncle, and further down was a burly man.
This person was Huoniu, the leader of Sha Tian District. He was wearing a jacket and his arms were bulging.
Next to Huoniu was the new territory's hall master, Chuanbao.
Other than them, Wen Nuoyan was also sitting at the long table. Ming Wang and Changfa stood behind him with their hands behind their backs.
Although Wen Nuoyan's territory was only on Jiulong Street, Uncle Biao still invited Wen Nuoyan to attend this meeting.
No one could deny Wen Nuoyan's contribution to the United English Society. Before he was imprisoned, Wen Nuoyan was also the most powerful leader of the United English Society.
These five people, together with Tiger Lei, were the current higher-ups of the United Ying Society.
Uncle Biao looked at them, coughed, and said,"
"Since everyone is here, let the meeting begin…"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Then, the main door of the main hall was pushed open.
Arrogant and wearing sunglasses, followed by seven or eight underlings, he swaggered in.
After entering, the arrogant person was just like his name. His attitude was very arrogant. He casually glanced at everyone, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Biao was the first to fly into a rage. He slammed the table and roared,
"Arrogant! Who allowed you to come in? Go wait outside!”
He was the one who called Arrogance over. After all, he was Volcano's trusted subordinate. Now that Volcano was nowhere to be seen, perhaps he could get some information from Arrogance.
However, Uncle Biao didn't allow Arrogance to enter this room, let alone sit down at the long table.
With his arrogant identity, he was only worthy of waiting outside.
Facing Uncle Biao's question, he rubbed his nose arrogantly and said casually,
"Brother Volcano can't come, so it's reasonable for me to attend the meeting in his place.”
Uncle Biao was annoyed by her arrogant attitude and was about to lose his temper.
At this moment, Wen Nuoyan suddenly said,"
"Uncle Biao, I think what Arrogant said makes sense. Let him sit here.”
Uncle Biao glanced at Wen Nuoyan, then glanced at the silent Huoniu, Chuanbao, and Sixth Uncle. He could only suppress his anger and say,"
" Alright, let the meeting begin."
Uncle Biao then asked Arrogance,"
"Arrogant, let me ask you, Volcano has been missing for so many days. Have you looked for him?”
He crossed his legs arrogantly and replied,
"Why didn't you look for him? Brother Volcano is my boss. I'm the one who's most anxious.
These few days, I brought my brothers to search for Brother Volcano everywhere, but we found nothing.
No one picked up his phone. He didn't know where he went. It was a problem if he was in Hong Kong.”
Uncle Biao frowned.
"Why is it that the news I received is that you have been busy taking over various places these past few days?”
Arrogant said indifferently,
"Brother Volcano disappeared after he came out of the hospital. We can't just let the people below us get into chaos. I took over the territory and manpower for the sake of the club.
Otherwise, what if the other clubs found an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos?”
Arrogant and righteous, Uncle Biao had met with a soft rebuff.
Then, he asked,
"You're Volcano's confidant. Do you know the reason for his disappearance and where he is most likely to go?”
Arrogant shook his head."
"I'm Brother Volcano's confidant, but I'm not a worm in his stomach. How can I know everything?
If you ask me, Brother Volcano might have seen through the mortal world and no longer wanted to fight in the martial world. He might have gone abroad to enjoy his life.
Instead of continuing to look for him, it was better to talk about the problem in the Nine Dragons District.”
Sixth Uncle interrupted,"
"The problem in the Nine Dragons District? What are you trying to say?"
He said arrogantly,
"Brother Volcano is nowhere to be seen. Why don't I take his place in the future? I'll help him manage his business and I'll help him manage his little brother.
Anyway, I've been taking care of it for the past few years. It doesn't matter whether Brother Volcano is here or not.”
Hearing this, Uncle Biao could not help but slam the table.
"Arrogant! I think you want to be the hall master!"
He sneered arrogantly and looked straight at Uncle Biao. He replied rudely,
"That's right, I want to be the hall master. You want to object?”
Uncle Biao was so angry that he panted and said angrily,
"Arrogant, you're too impudent! You want to be the hall master? No way!"
Arrogant said,"
"Uncle Biao, you're not a dragon head, your objections are useless.
Now that the Nine Dragon District is under my control, all my underlings will listen to my orders. If I don't become the Hall Master, do you think I'll let you be the Hall Master?”
Uncle Biao was just about to speak when Wen Nuoyan suddenly spoke,
"I support Arrogant as the Nine Dragons Division Leader.”
Uncle Biao was instantly dumbfounded.
Then, he reacted and hurriedly said,
"I disagree!"
After saying that, he looked at Sixth Uncle, Huoniu, and Chuanbao and asked,"
"What about you guys? Do you want to watch as you arrogantly ascend to power?"
Sixth Uncle thought for a moment and said,
"I don't agree either."
Huoniu and Chuanbao did not say anything. They shook their heads and expressed their stance.
Although they were surprised by the sudden stubbornness of Arrogance, it was not a matter of their own clan after all. They had the idea of hanging high and just being spectators.
Uncle Biao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them express their stance. It seemed that the situation was still on his side.
He adjusted his breathing and said to Arrogance,"
" Arrogant, look carefully. Everyone in the club is against you being the hall master. Be smart and be prepared. We will elect a new hall master in the next few days. When the time comes, remember…"
Arrogant did not wait for him to finish his sentence. He pushed the chair and stood up.
"There can only be one hall master in the Nine Dragons District, and I'm the one who's arrogant! As for whether you agree or not, that's your business! Let's go!"
Arrogant waved his hand and left with his underlings.
Looking at the arrogant back, Uncle Biao gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, he was not the leader of the United English Society. Whether it was his skills or reputation, he was far from Tiger Lei.
Retracting his gaze, Uncle Biao swept his gaze across the few of them and sighed.
After such a ruckus, he was no longer interested in continuing the meeting. He waved his hand and said,
"That's all for today.”
Wen Nuoyan stood up and left with Ming Wang and Chang Fa.
Huoniu and Chuanbao also brought their trusted followers out of the room.
Soon, only Uncle Biao and his uncle and sixth uncle were left in the main hall.
Uncle Biao took a sip of tea and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said,
"I keep feeling that there's something fishy about Volcano's disappearance.”
Sixth Uncle nodded."
"I think so too."
Uncle Biao continued,
"Arrogant's behavior today is very abnormal. He actually dares to speak like that in front of us. Where does he get his confidence from?”
Sixth Uncle frowned and said,"
"Arrogance suddenly became capable. I have a bad feeling that Volcano might have been killed by him.”
When Uncle Biao heard this, he also frowned.
"If that's the case, it makes sense. I received news that he hasn't been looking for Volcano at all these days. He's busy taking over the territory and his underlings.
There were some who were disobedient and disappeared the next day. Most of them were killed by him.”
Sixth Uncle said,"
"Forget it, a junior just wants to take over. This matter will wait for Tiger Lei to come out of the police station and let him handle it.”
……
In the evening.
Wen Nuoyan returned to Jiulong Street and looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner.
He turned around and went to the Nine Dragons Ice Room.
She pushed open the door and saw Brother Kang behind the counter. She greeted him,
"Brother Kang."
Brother Kang raised his head and smiled.
"Ah Long, what do you want to eat?"
Wen Nuoyan thought for a moment and said,
"Give me a serving…"
At this moment, a crisp female voice interrupted him,"
"Brother Long!"
Wen Nuoyan was very familiar with this voice. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Sandy.
Sandy was wearing a black Nike baseball cap and her curly hair was tied up neatly.
She was wearing a pink pullover with a large white rabbit printed on the front, revealing two big front teeth as she gnawed on a radish.
She was wearing a denim skirt.
The skirt reached her knees, and there was almost no risk of exposing herself.
Two straight, fair, and tender calves were exposed, and she was wearing a pair of white sneakers.
After Sandy shouted, she skipped to Wen Nuoyan's side and grabbed his arm, saying,"
"Brother Long, you must eat with me today!”
