The Chang Le Gang, one of the Top Ten Gangs of Jade Capital City, although ranked lower, was still a colossal entity in the eyes of ordinary people in Jade Capital City. However, this colossal entity was only limited to the eyes of ordinary people.

At this moment, within the Chang Le Gang Headquarters, the high-ranking members of the Chang Le Gang, who had just been called back by Chang Lao Si, the Chang Le Gang Helper, were in an uproar.

"Fourth Master, the foundation we've worked so hard to build for so many years, we can't just hand it over because they said they fancy it, can we?"

"Do the Five Great Families not want anyone else to live? With just a word from them, do the tens of thousands of disciples of our Chang Le Gang have no way to survive?"

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you hear Fourth Master say that it's just selling off the Chang Le Gambling House's assets? We have people, we have so many customers in hand, we can rebuild anytime."

"Actually, this might not be a bad thing. Although the Fang Family will take the lion's share in the future, we are also completely tied to the Fang Family."

"Bullshit, those great families care about us? Just because of a word from the Ren Family's Family Head, a kid who hasn't even fully grown, we have to hand over the foundation we've worked so hard to build for so many years? Cooperate with them? Once they gradually gain control, we'll have nothing left."

"Damn it, what else can we do if we don't cooperate? Can an arm twist a thigh? Can you fight against them?"

"What's the big deal? A head is just the size of a bowl when it's off, what's that? Let's fight them."

"Right, so what if they are the Five Great Families? At worst, we die."

The Chang Le Gang started with gambling, initially just a few street gambling stalls, operating secretly. Later, it gradually expanded. Chang Lao Si was also known as Chang Si Zhi, reportedly because he lost a finger after losing a bet in his early years, while others said it was congenital, and some said it was for learning a skill. This matter was a topic often discussed with relish among the gangs in Jade Capital City.

Chang Lao Si was only in his early forties, and he hadn't become plump after becoming the helper; he was still very thin. He was in his prime. The Chang Le Gang gradually developed to its current state based on the Chang Le Gambling House, although it now operated dozens of other businesses. However, more than half of the main income came from gambling, and the rest combined accounted for just over forty percent. Now, the Chang Le Gambling House was extorted away like this. He was more furious than anyone else. This was the foundation he had built with his own hands. Although there was still a chance, from now on...

Alas, he still couldn't escape this fate. Although he knew that the Chang Le Gang had gradually grown over the years and had begun to attract the attention of some people, because they were barely clinging to the Fang Family, he thought they would be fine for a short time. He didn't expect it to be like this. The Chang Le Gang was supported by him alone, unlike other gangs, which were deeply entrenched and some even had foundations going back a hundred or even several hundred years.

He didn't care about these things. What he truly cared about was that the Chang Le Gambling House was his ideal, his dream of operating. But if he didn't agree, he wouldn't even have a place to continue building this dream and fulfilling his pursuit in the future.

Making a living in Jade Capital City was different from other places. Even a gang without the support of a powerful force couldn't survive. Either they had to completely rely on some powerful force or influential figure, or they had to have a super expert in the Yin Yang Realm holding down the fort. Although those in the Divine Power Realm could dominate an area, they were not enough to be taken seriously by colossal entities like the great families. Once needed, they would be crushed without mercy. Although he was at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer and was a person of some weight in the gangs of Jade Capital City, he was ultimately unable to resist the Five Great Families...

But if there was a super expert in the Yin Yang Realm holding down the fort, it would be completely different. Even the Royal Family and the other four great families would have to consider and ponder if they wanted to make a move. Unfortunately, the Chang Le Gang neither truly relied on influential figures nor had such a powerful person holding down the fort.

"Who is it? Stop immediately."

"Stop him, bang..."

"This is bad, we can't stop him at all..."

Just as the Chang Le Gang was in chaos and Chang Lao Si was also having a headache about where to go, there was a sudden commotion outside. Before he could use his divine sense to investigate what was happening, he heard a rumbling sound.

"Boom... rumble..." The gate, the walls, everything that was blocking the way was smashed open. A Spirit Beast Carriage arrogantly charged all the way, crashing into the Chang Le Gang Headquarters Main Hall.

All the guards who tried to stop the Spirit Beast Carriage along the way were sent flying, and the walls and gate were also smashed.

"Dare to charge into my Chang Le Gang's main hall? You're courting death." Several responsible individuals from the Chang Le Gang who had reached the True Qi Realm had already leaped up, ready to attack the Spirit Beast Carriage.

Spirit Beast Carriage, the symbol of the Ren Family, this is...

The Spirit Beast Carriage of the Ren Family Head! "Stop!" Chang Lao Si observed carefully and immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly ordered his subordinates who were about to act to stop.

He knew the terror of the Five Great Families better than anyone else, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to Fang Yan's request without even holding out for an hour. He was reluctant to give up the foundation he had worked so hard to build, but he also couldn't bear to see the Chang Le Gang disappear from now on.

The Chang Le Gang usually looked quite good, but that depended on where it was placed. Compared to colossal entities like the Five Great Families, at best, they were just Little Shrimps splashing around in the vast ocean, the gap was too big, there was no way to resist.

Chang Lao Si's words were still very effective. After all, he was the founder of the gang and had the strongest control. Moreover, he was the only Divine Power Realm existence in the Chang Le Gang, and his words still held supreme authority in the Chang Le Gang. The reason for the chaos just now was that Chang Lao Si himself was hesitant. At this moment, upon hearing his command, not a single person dared to act, and they all moved aside.

"Chang Si, the Helper of the Chang Le Gang, greets the esteemed guest. May I know if the Ren Family Head is inside?" Chang Lao Si also felt a sense of helplessness and even had an urge to leave Jade Capital City. He had been struggling for so many years, not even fearing death, and had gained fame in Jade Capital City with his exquisite gambling skills, building such a large enterprise with his own strength.

Moreover, he was at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer cultivation, which was definitely considered top-tier combat power in Jade Capital City, an existence that no one dared to underestimate. Now, he had to carefully put on a smiling face and humble himself before a Hedonistic Young Master who was only in the Body Refining Realm and was reportedly about to be held back a grade.

But this is Jade Capital City. Unless you reach the Yin Yang Realm and have some capital to be proud of, even Divine Power Realm experts don't dare to act recklessly. After all, the Five Great Families all have private armies, and there are experts like clouds within the families. You can't afford to provoke them!

"Come up and talk." The Spirit Beast Carriage was very imposing, especially after crashing through more than a dozen walls and several doors along the way and entering the main hall. It looked even more imposing. So even though Ren Jie's words were very casual, they made everyone present feel a strong aura, and many people looked at Chang Lao Si worriedly.

Some even took out their weapons, completely prepared to fight to the death. Some who were closer communicated with Chang Lao Si through their divine sense.

"Fourth Master, this is too much. Let's fight him."

"Fourth Master, you can't go up. Who knows what he's planning."

"Fourth Master, tell us what to do, and we brothers will do it with you."

"Don't act rashly. If he wanted to destroy my Chang Le Gang, it wouldn't be him who came. I'll probe first. No one is allowed to act rashly without my command." Unless absolutely necessary, Chang Lao Si didn't want to go to the last step.

The Five Great Families, even if something happened with the Family Heads of the other four families besides the Royal Family, in Chang Lao Si's opinion, it was no different from breakfast.

They weren't afraid of江湖厮杀 (Jianghu厮杀 - martial world fighting), but now that the Bright Jade Dynasty was in its prime, not many people dared to rebel. Unless it was in some remote areas or border regions between two countries, there were some Horse Gangs that were not under control. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never choose to take the last step.

After greeting his brothers, Chang Lao Si calmed his mind, and at the same time, he condensed his Mana to a state where he could act at any time. He stepped onto Ren Jie's Spirit Beast Carriage.

As soon as Chang Lao Si entered, his heart couldn't help but jump, because suddenly his divine sense could no longer connect with the outside world, and he couldn't sense anything outside. It suddenly became extremely quiet. But the next moment, he was even more surprised, because sitting directly opposite him were two people. Neither of them was very old, and their appearance was exactly the same as the rumored Hedonistic Young Master and Puppet Family Head of the Ren Family. And this Fatty should be his follower.

"Chang Si greets the Ren Family Head. Chang Si has completely followed the Ren Family Head's previous requests. I wonder if there is anything else Chang Si needs to do." Chang Lao Si bowed and saluted, and at the same time, he wanted to know what was going on. His meaning was also very clear. Even if you are the Ren Family Head, I have already given you my Chang Le Gambling House. What else do you want to do? Don't force me to fight to the death.

The Five Great Families are powerful, but they have long passed the era of early accumulation and recklessness. The rules are well-established. Although the struggle for interests is still a life-and-death struggle, those are all in the dark and have certain rules. Such blatant extortion like today, which is almost like outright robbery, is very rare. It's impossible for Chang Lao Si not to be angry in his heart. If you're in the Jianghu and don't have a temper and blood, you don't need to be in it.

But he is also considered to have made it big, and he knows that the water in Jade Capital City is too deep. He is not as impulsive as his subordinates and can barely suppress it. It's just that at this moment, seeing Ren Jie, he couldn't help but reveal some of it in his words.

In fact, this was already very good. When he talked with Fang Yan before, he also exploded at first, but in the end, he was persuaded by Fang Yan and explained the pros and cons, and he had no choice but to yield.

"Don't be so formal. If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, just say it directly. If you hide your words, this Family Head will pretend not to hear it, understand?" Ren Jie smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the seat next to him and telling him to sit down and talk.

"Chang Si wouldn't dare..."

"Bullshit, who are you trying to fool?" Ren Jie glared and cursed, "Someone snatched away the foundation you worked hard for over ten or twenty years. You say you're not angry, you don't have resentment in your heart, you say you haven't cursed me in your heart?"

"..." Chang Lao Si was suddenly stumped by Ren Jie's question, because this was impossible. He had almost cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Ren Family and the Fang Family. Not a single one of them was a good thing. He had cursed every word he could think of, but saying it directly was another matter. Being asked by Ren Jie like this, he didn't even know how to answer.

"Too F***ing Evil, extraordinarily evil!" The Fatty looked at Ren Jie and felt that this Meal Ticket Boss was speaking more and more impressively now, but it was really satisfying. He had just learned a little before and had angered Fang Yan like that.
