And If I Don't?

Heavenly Paradise.

After the Yan Gang's spy called again, relaying the information to Meng Yan, the person shortly shot up to his feet and ordered, "Heed my orders, gather all our men! We are storming the Chen Gang's territory!"

"Are we having another gang war, boss? It's been a while since I last had some fun." A skinny tough-acting lackey asked, cracking his knuckles in anticipation.

Meng Yan rolled his eyes and barked, "Go notify the gang now!"

"Yes, Boss!"

After the lackey left, a tougher-looking lackey in a black suit asked with concern, "Is it fine to summon the whole gang to attack the westside, boss? What if the Metti Gang take the opportunity to occupy our territory while we are absent?"

"We do not need to consider that. If we want to produce results, we must strike hard with the might of the whole gang. Tackling the problem half-heartedly will only produce lackluster results! If we lose our territory to the Metti Gang, we just have to reclaim it after!"

Similarly, the Declan Gang in the southern outskirts of Silvercove also began gathering their members.

Boss. Most likely, we will have to compete with the Yan Gang for the Chen Gang's territory. There's no way they would miss the news of the Chen Gang's gathering."

"Even if we cannot take control of the entire west side, we can still wrestle with the Yan Gang for half of it!" Reagan Declan declared.

He stared at the 200-odd members that gathered outside of their hideout, an abandoned gym in the southside.

"Move out!"

"Ou!"

…

Westside Temptation.

"Right, Boss. Brother Chen's body had been disposed of. This martial art manual was found on his body." Ah Zhen pulled out a dilapidated old book and offered it to Albion with both hands respectfully.

[Golden Vajra Body]

Albion casually glanced at the title of the martial art manual before he nonchalantly said, "I don't need it. Keep it."

"Can I really keep this, Boss?" Ah Zhen asked with shock.

"Do I look like I am joking? Keep it. I will not repeat myself a third time. If you work for me diligently, I will not mistreat you." Albion said indifferently.

The carrot and the stick.

So long as the two are balanced proportionally, the obedience of men is guaranteed. Of course, there were exceptions. That is if they have ambitions bigger than the sky—him.

If they cannot be used, then they shall be disposed of.

Simple as that.

"T-Thank you, boss! I will do my best to live up to your expectations!" Ah Zhen said solemnly, overjoyed by the unexpected honor.

Albion waved Ah Zhen off impassively.

He was not interested in an incomplete martial art manual. The complete version seemed to be contained with the Dark Emperor's memories.

If Ah Zhen performs well, Albion did not mind teaching the person the complete version.

"Oh?"

Albion shortly picked up large numbers of people drawing closer in the distance through his [Eyes of Ashura].

He stood up suddenly, causing Ah Zhen to call out curiously, "Boss?"

"Inform everyone to stay inside. I am going to stretch some muscles." Albion stated, walking towards the nightclub's exit.

'Stretching some muscles, huh?'

Ah Zhen immediately smiled wryly in response. Apparently, taking down the whole Chen Gang alone was not enough muscle-stretching for his new boss.

"Will do, Boss."

Ah Zhen nodded, shortly glancing at the men on the ground after before saying, "You heard the boss. You all better stay inside."

"…"

"Ugh…."

Ah Zhen received several groans in response.

Clearly, the battered group was not going anywhere in their current state.

…

Outside the nightclub, two large groups of 200-odd men came from two different ends of the street.

Various weapons could be seen in their hands, such as wooden bats, steel poles, broken table legs, and kitchen knives.

Being sandwiched between the two gangs, the curious crowds observing the nightclub from across the road were immediately alarmed by their arrivals.

"Unrelated people should get the hell out of here. This place is going to get messy!" Meng Yan spoke loudly to the crowd.

At the same time, Reagan Declan spoke on the other end of the street, "All of you, get lost!"

"The Yan Gang and Declan Gang is here to cause trouble! Let us leave quickly!"

"That's our cue. Let us go before we get hurt!"

The crowd immediately began dispersing from the area, leaving through the gap that allowed them to pass through by the two gangs.

The two gang leaders were not interested in involving civilians.

"It's been some time since we last met, Brother Yan! How about you take your gang away and leave this place to us!" Reagan Declan spoke after the crowd left.

"How can I do that? Good things had to be shared! Don't you think you are too greedy to try hogging all of the Chen Gang's territory for yourself?!" Meng Yan asked.

"Hahaha, how could that be? We were both drawn over without seeing the exact situation inside Westside Temptation for ourselves. I am just saving your Yan Gang from falling into a possible trap!"

"Ho-ho, Brother Declan was so nice? Since that is the case, how can I let Brother Yan's gang fall into this trap alone? Weal and woe should be shared together!" Meng Yan said with a warm smile like they had been bosom friends for years.

"Hmph! Then I suggest we call for a truce until the exact situation inside is known!" Reagan Declan dropped his pretense and snarled, seeing he could not convince the Yan Gang to leave.

"Hahaha! Just how I like it!" Meng Yan grinned.

Shortly after, the two gang leaders headed towards the Westside Temptation's entrance together with the two gangs following behind them.

However, they shortly halted their steps after seeing a young person exit the nightclub. That person was Albion.

"Who are you, boy?" Meng Yan quickly asked.

However, Reagan Declan cussed, "F*ck, who cares who he is. Seeing as you came out from there, quickly tell us what is happening inside!"

Albion casually glanced at the two gangs standing behind the two gang leaders, secretly impressed with the number of men they brought.

"Are you deaf, boy? I'm asking you a question!" Reagan Declan roared.

"Oh?"

Albion raised an eyebrow before his musing expression shortly turned indifferent.

He crossed his arms, blocking the entrance, and asked, "And if I don't answer?"
