Master Wang Braised Beef Noodles

This time, Dai Yunong's bullying ultimately ended with Wang Yan lowering his head and admitting defeat.

He truly had formidable personal combat abilities, but killing too many nameless nobodies was useless, while killing important figures carried unforeseeable risks. It was impossible to solve problems through action alone, and in reality, the situation did not permit violence as a solution.

Leaving aside matters further back, when the Green Alliance was established and Du Yong stirred up trouble, he had been unable to kill even Du Yong. Dai Yunong and Mao Qiwu were even less possible—he could kill none of them. Feng Nairong and the others causing trouble could be killed, but that would mean facing riots across the International Settlement, the French Concession, and even the Japanese-occupied districts. Neither Britain, France, America, nor Japan would permit that.

If Wang Yan became the source of chaos, he would be the first to die. And that was without mentioning that Du Yong had learned of the Green Alliance's founding and begun opposing him as soon as it was established, leaving him no chance to kill Feng Nairong and the others. Even if he killed one of them first, they would elect a new leader. The crux of the matter was not Feng Nairong and his people, but Du Yong and the other senior Green Gang figures behind them.

Feng Nairong and the others were not even in the same league as Wang Yan had been when Mao Qiwu cornered him at that breakfast stall. Although Wang Yan kept calling them Granduncle and Elder Granduncle, those were merely formal terms of address. After all, if Feng Nairong and the others had truly been capable, there would have been no Green Alliance, and they would not have needed to ask him to be its leader
