At one of the tables next to the skewers stall, there were three men, with colorful hair and cigarettes in their mouth, who were all looking at Jiang Ming and Brother Zhang with a rakish look on their faces.

The blue-haired man placed one leg on a stool and rested his elbow on it as he leaned forward. He held the cigarette in his right hand and picked up a beer bottle with his left hand. He then pointed at Brother Zhang and said, “Hey! From today onwards, this place belongs to the White Dragon Gang and you have to pay us the protection fee. You! Your protection fee this month is 1000 yuan. Pay up!”

“I just paid the protection fee to the Malignant Tiger Gang, now I have to pay it again? If you want, go look for it from the Malignant Tiger Gang.” When Brother Zhang heard that these guys were asking for the protection fee again, his face darkened as he stood up and said to the blue-haired gangster.

White Dragon Gang?

Jiang Ming put down the pair of chopsticks in his hands and stared at them with a confused look on his face.

There were a lot of gangsters in Hualong, even in the slums. However, he remembered that this place was under the Malignant Tiger Gang. Where did this White Dragon Gang come from?

One of them standing behind the blue-haired gangster snorted, stepped forward and grabbed Brother Zhang by his collar. “Let me tell you what’s happening. The Malignant Tiger Gang has been annihilated by the White Dragon Gang. There’s no such thing as the Malignant Tiger Gang now! I don’t care if you have paid them the protection fee, you need to pay the 1000 yuan protection fee to the White Dragon Gang now! Or else, get out of this place!”

After hearing what he said, Jiang Ming finally understood what was happening. The Malignant Tiger Gang had been completely annihilated by the White Dragon Gang. Although Jiang Ming didn’t know much about gangsters, Brother Zhang was his friend. He couldn’t just sit and watch without doing anything

He wiped his mouth with tissue, picked up Chikage and walked towards Brother Zhang. He glanced at the three men in front of him and said, “Guys, I don’t think that this is right. Brother Zhang owns the stall and he has a business here which means that this is his place. Why does he have to pay the protection fee?”

“Kid, stay away. This is none of your business.” The red-haired gangster took out a knife and pointed it at Jiang Ming.

When Brother Zhang saw the knife, he didn’t want to get Jiang Ming involved. He stood in front of Jiang Ming and took out a bunch of notes from his pocket. It seemed like Brother Zhang was about to give the gangsters a thousand yuan.

“Just give it! What’s the point of counting it?!” The blue-haired gangster snatched all the notes from Brother Zhang’s hand. Just by the looks of it, there should be about a few thousand which was why he grabbed it before Brother Zhang could count it.

When the money was snatched from him, Brother Zhang got agitated internally. Then, his face turned red and he got so angry that his voice started trembling as he screamed at the gang, “I thought it was a thousand yuan! Give me back my money! This is robbery!”

“So what? I’ll rob you if I want to.” The blue-haired gangster kicked Brother Zhang in the stomach.

Brother Zhang fell backwards as he held onto his stomach. Jiang Ming, who was standing behind him, caught Brother Zhang before he fell to the floor and helped him to a stool nearby. Then, he walked towards the group,

“Bang~”

Jiang Ming grabbed one of the beer bottles from the table and smashed it against the table. The beer bottle instantly broke from the middle, revealing its sharp ends.

When the blue-haired gangster heard the sound of a broken beer bottle, he looked towards Jiang Ming. As he noticed Jiang Ming walking towards him, the expression on his face changed drastically. “Are you seeking death?!”

“Give the money back to him!” Jiang Ming ordered in a cold voice.

“Damn it! Let me teach you a lesson.” Upon hearing what Jiang Ming said, the blue-haired gangster placed the money in his pocket and threw the beer bottle that was in his hand towards Jiang Ming.
