"The Axe Gang?"
Big Brother Mo was speechless.
Heavenly-Liang Old Man and the other three Red Poles were stunned too.
The name was so simple and blunt.
Li Xiuwen smiled. "Here's what I'm thinking. Among all the clubs, Hesheng Tu's name doesn't stand out at all. As far as I know, more than a dozen clubs under the Ever Joy Banner alone use words like 'harmony' and 'prosperity' in their names. Outside the Enclave, there are more than you can count.
