The Three Heroes Association was never owned by a single person. From the day it was founded, it belonged to the three of them equally, with no one assigned as the boss.
Meng Changhe, due to being older and having some real knack in gang management, gained more renown within the gang, and the Three Heroes Association gradually came to respect him as a figure of authority.
However, the power underneath Duan Xiao and Ning Luojun was not any less substantial, and moreover, they had no intentions of fighting over authority or profit. As such, the development of the Three Heroes Association had been quite stable over these past decades.
However, in recent years, these two grew disgruntled over Meng Changhe's son, Meng Chong.
The other two had no successors, and Meng Changhe had a son, the only successor amongst them.
