Calling People

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

Moreover, the Zhong Yi Xin killer A Ji would be released in three days, and Song Ren planned to give him a grand farewell gift.

Want to get out of prison?

No, you were thinking too much!

Two days passed in a flash, and it was time for recreation on the prison yard.

Nearly twenty people from Zhong Yi Xin had gathered together. They seemed to be holding a farewell gathering for their killer, A Ji, who was about to be released.

Laughter and playful shouts occasionally drifted over from that direction.

It was not until Zhong Yi Xin's Suit Boy turned his head and noticed that his right-hand man, Siu Jai Ming, had suddenly led five or six people away from the group.

This left him stunned for a moment. He shouted, "Hey, Ming, what are you doing?"

But Siu Jai Ming ignored his boss and led the five or six men straight toward Song Ren.

As he walked, he waved toward several other parts of the yard.

Soon, groups of three or five prisoners from those areas also came over while chatting and laughing.

In the end, twenty-one young gangsters gathered together.

They made up nearly one-fifth of the prisoners in the entire cellblock.

A gathering of young gangsters on this scale was already extremely conspicuous.

The group grew quieter as they walked.

The chatter and laughter continued until it finally fell completely silent.

Their gazes were all filled with fervor as they stared at Song Ren ahead of them with longing.

For a moment, the yard was so quiet that it seemed completely frozen.

The only sounds were the muddled footsteps of more than twenty people, scuffing and stomping across the ground.

Almost every prisoner in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Some grew more and more confused the longer they watched. Others gradually became angry, while quite a few looked ready to enjoy the show.

The twenty-one young gangsters marched neatly up to Song Ren.

Song Ren raised his brows slightly, also somewhat surprised.

Over the past two days, he had indeed instructed Siu Jai Ming, who had previously pledged himself to him, to recruit more men.

Because he was preparing to formally establish his own faction.

On one hand, he planned to use this declaration of allegiance to settle A Lok's matter once and for all. On the other, he wanted to force the killer A Ji to make the first move.

But he had not expected Siu Jai Ming to bring over more than twenty people. It was not just a few members of Zhong Yi Xin—even young gangsters from other gangs and those who belonged to no gang had come along.

Although most of them were only the lowest-ranking gang lackeys, their sheer number still surprised him.

That Siu Jai Ming was quite the talent!

Siu Jai Ming stood at the front, leading the way. He grinned at Song Ren and spoke first. "Brother Ren, I brought them all over."

Then he turned and shouted loudly at the more than twenty prisoners beside him, "Hey, are you all idiots? Hurry up and greet him!"

"Brother Ren!!!"

The voices were slightly uneven, but exceptionally loud, erupting abruptly across the yard.

The echo seemed to shake the minds of every prisoner, leaving them deeply stunned.

Suit Boy's expression became extraordinarily colorful in an instant.

His face was so gloomy it seemed water might drip from it. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "Siu Jai Ming!!!"

The killer A Ji had always worn a carefree expression, but it turned solemn at this moment.

He lowered his head slightly. From afar, his chestnut-colored eyes fixed on Song Ren, their depths brimming with piercing killing intent.

This bastard dares poach people from our Zhong Yi Xin right in front of me!

Damn you. This time, even the King of Hell himself won't be able to save you!

At this moment, it was not only the people from Zhong Yi Xin who were cursing loudly in the yard.

Because Siu Jai Ming had recruited too many low-ranking lackeys who admired Song Ren, he had effectively offended nearly every gang in the entire cellblock.

This move was utterly reckless. Even if they could not do anything to Song Ren inside the cellblock, once they got out, it was bound to bring him even greater trouble.

But Song Ren clearly did not care.

They were merely low-ranking lackeys switching gangs as a group. At worst, he could spend some money to make the trouble go away.

As long as he dealt with Fok Siu Tong after getting out...

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

The two of them had also been startled by this grand spectacle.

When they first noticed more than twenty prisoners surrounding them, they had thought something major was about to happen.

Yau Kong Ngau had even prepared himself for a big fight, but he had not expected them all to be here to switch gangs or acknowledge a new boss.

He turned to look at the silent Song Ren beside him. For the first time, he felt that he could not see through Brother Ren.

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

He had only just lit it and had not even taken two puffs when this scene shocked him so badly that he dropped the cigarette onto the ground.

"Damn, does my brother have to be this fierce?"

He had brought over more than twenty people without making a sound. Was he planning to establish his own faction in Stanley Prison?

Unheard of!

This was way too badass!

After muttering, he casually picked up the cigarette and put it back in his mouth.

The next moment, he shuddered and threw it away.

"Ah! It's burning!"

"Damn it, I put it in backward!"

Bald Rong and Lai Pei Leung, who were following beside him, did not notice Fierce Ghost's situation.

Instead, they exchanged a glance. As they looked toward Song Ren, traces of envy filled their eyes.

They had been following Brother Ghost for so long, yet they had not taken part in such a grand opportunity to steal the spotlight.

Who joined a gang without wanting to make a name for themselves?

The two of them asked hesitantly, "Brother Ghost, should we go over and take a look too..."

Fierce Ghost's face immediately fell.

Damn it, even his own underlings were acting like this. No wonder so many young gangsters had taken the initiative to chase after A Ren and acknowledge him as their boss.

This was really damn impressive!

Fierce Ghost felt a little sour. Even Yau Kong Ngau, whom he had tried to recruit countless times, had unknowingly taken A Ren's side.

He felt rather uncomfortable about it too. His standing in the underworld was clearly higher, wasn't it?

After the yard's deathly silence, it quickly erupted into a cacophony of voices.

Zhong Yi Xin's Suit Boy was the first to explode. "Siu Jai Ming, your whole family can drop dead! How dare you switch gangs behind my back!"

Right after that, the people from the Number Gang, Wo Kee, and Chiu Yee also began cursing angrily.

Although most of the prisoners who had switched gangs today were only low-ranking underlings, they could not possibly let such a humiliating incident go unchecked.

Otherwise, how would their gangs survive in the future?

The people of Zhong Yi Xin were especially furious, because Siu Jai Ming had led this mass defection.

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

A Ji raised a hand and shoved aside the lackeys in front of him. Without saying a word, he walked toward Song Ren with a dark expression.

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

Rustle—

As the people from Zhong Yi Xin moved, gang members from other parts of the yard also began closing in.

More and more prisoners gathered, and soon there were over forty of them.

They surrounded the area in a dark, oppressive mass. Compared with the group of lackeys who had gathered around Song Ren earlier, they were more than twice as numerous.

A huge, densely packed crowd was visible to the naked eye.

The scene suddenly became explosive.
