Calling for Backup

Since he promised to protect A Lok, Song Ren had to do something.

Furthermore, the Zhong Yi Xin killer A Ji was scheduled to be released from prison in three days, and Song Ren planned to give him a grand farewell gift.

Want to get out of prison?

No, you're thinking too much!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for yard break in the prison block.

Nearly twenty people from Zhong Yi Xin were gathered together, seemingly holding a send-off for the killer A Ji, who was about to be released.

Laughter and chatter could be heard from their direction from time to time.

It wasn't until Zhong Yi Xin's Suit Boy turned his head and noticed that his subordinate Siu Jai Ming was suddenly leading five or six people away from the group.

This made him freeze for a moment, and he shouted, "Hey, Ah Ming, what are you doing?"

Siu Jai Ming ignored his boss and, with five or six others, walked straight towards Song Ren.

As he walked, he waved towards several other directions on the yard.

Soon, groups of three to five inmates from other areas also started walking over, chatting and laughing.

In the end, a total of twenty-one delinquents gathered.

This accounted for nearly a fifth of the total inmate population in the entire prison block.

Such a large gathering of delinquents was already quite eye-catching.

The group grew quieter as they walked.

The atmosphere of chatting and laughing eventually gave way to complete silence.

Everyone's gaze was filled with fervor, looking at Song Ren ahead with longing eyes.

The yard was so quiet it felt like it had completely frozen.

Only the mingled footsteps of over twenty people could be heard, tapping on the ground.

In the yard, almost all the inmates stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the scene.

Some looked increasingly bewildered, others grew angry, and many adopted a "wait and see" attitude.

Twenty-one delinquents walked neatly in front of Song Ren.

Song Ren raised an eyebrow slightly, also somewhat surprised.

He had indeed given instructions these past two days for Siu Jai Ming, who had previously expressed his loyalty, to recruit people.

This was because he was preparing to officially plant his flag.

On one hand, he intended to use this move to completely resolve the issue with A Lok, and on the other hand, to force the killer A Ji to make a move.

But he hadn't expected Siu Jai Ming to be able to gather over twenty people, not just a few from Zhong Yi Xin, but also delinquents from other gangs and those who weren't affiliated with any gang.

Although most of these people were low-level gang members, their sheer numbers had surprised him.

This Siu Jai Ming is quite a talent!

Siu Jai Ming stood at the front, leading the way, and grinned at Song Ren before speaking first, "Brother Ren, I've brought the people."

Then he turned and shouted loudly to the twenty-plus inmates beside him, "Hey, what are you all waiting for? Hurry up and greet him!"

"Brother Ren!!!"

The slightly uncoordinated but exceptionally loud voices suddenly rang out across the yard.

The echoes seemed to shatter the minds of all the inmates, creating a profoundly shocking effect.

Suit Boy's expression turned incredibly complex in an instant.

His face was so grim it looked like it could squeeze out water. He gritted his teeth and said, "Siu Jai Ming!!!"

The killer A Ji, usually nonchalant, also became serious.

He lowered his head slightly, his pair of brown pupils fixed on Song Ren from afar, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

This guy dares to poach our Zhong Yi Xin members right in front of me!

Damn it, even the King of Hell couldn't save you this time!

On the yard, it wasn't just the people from Zhong Yi Xin who were cursing loudly at this moment.

Because Siu Jai Ming had recruited so many low-level members who admired Song Ren, he had essentially offended almost all the gangs in the entire prison block.

Such an action was incredibly reckless. Even if they couldn't do anything to Song Ren within the prison, it would undoubtedly lead to bigger trouble once they were released.

But Song Ren clearly didn't care.

It was just a collective defection of the lowest-level members. At most, he'd have to spend some money to resolve the issue.

As long as he could handle Fok Siu Tong after getting out...

At this moment, A Lok and Yau Kong Ngau were standing beside Song Ren.

Both of them were also startled by this grand display.

Just noticing the more than twenty inmates surrounding him, he thought something big was about to happen.

Yau Kong Ngau was ready for a big fight, but he never expected them all to be there to switch allegiance or pay respects to a big boss.

He turned to look at Song Ren, who was silent beside him, and for the first time, he felt like he couldn't quite figure Brother Ren out.

Meanwhile, Fierce Ghost, hiding in a corner, had just bought a cigarette from a dealer.

He had only just lit it and hadn't even taken two puffs before he was so shocked by the scene that he dropped the cigarette.

"Holy shit, is my brother really this fierce?"

He brought over twenty people without a word. Was he trying to stake his claim in Stanley Prison?

He'd never heard of anything like it!

This was too awesome!

As he muttered to himself, he casually picked up the cigarette and put it back in his mouth.

The next moment, he shivered and threw it away:

"Hiss! So hot!"

"Damn it, I was holding it the wrong way!"

Bald Rong and Lai Pei Leung, who were following him, didn't notice Fierce Ghost's situation.

Instead, they exchanged a look, their eyes fixed in Song Ren's direction, a hint of envy in their depths.

They hadn't had a chance to steal the spotlight like this with Brother Ghost for a long time.

In the triad world, everyone aimed to make a name for themselves.

They mumbled, "Brother Ghost, should we go over and take a look..."

Fierce Ghost's face immediately fell.

Damn, even his own subordinates were like this. It was no wonder so many young punks actively sought out A Ren to pay respects to the big boss.

This was truly impressive!

Fierce Ghost was feeling a bit sour. Even Yau Kong Ngau, whom he had tried to recruit many times, had unknowingly sided with A Ren.

He felt quite bad about it, as his own standing in the underworld should have been higher.

After a deathly silence on the sports field, it quickly erupted into a din of voices.

The suit-wearing members of Zhong Yi Xin exploded first: "Siu Jai Ming, you son of a bitch! You dared to switch allegiance behind my back!"

Closely followed by the Number Gang, Wo Kee, and Chiu Yee members, who also started cursing.

Although most of the inmates who switched sides today were just low-level grunts, they couldn't just let such a loss of face go unaddressed.

Otherwise, how could the triad continue to operate in the future?

Among them, the people from Zhong Yi Xin were the most furious because Siu Jai Ming had led this mass defection.

This was practically trampling the name of Zhong Yi Xin into the ground!

A Ji pushed aside the thugs in front of him. He didn't say anything, but with a grim expression, he walked silently towards Song Ren.

In an instant, the remaining dozen or so members of Zhong Yi Xin immediately followed.

Swish—

As Zhong Yi Xin made their move, inmates from other triads in different parts of the field also began to gather.

The inmates kept gathering, and soon more than forty people had assembled.

They surrounded them in a dense mass, more than double the number of thugs who had gathered around Song Ren earlier.

A visibly dense crowd.

The scene became quite explosive for a moment.
