Chapter 236: Swallowing the Wolf Fang Gang
"Destroy the Wolf Fang Gang and take control of Rockstone City!"
As Mo Yu gave his command, everyone present froze for a moment, and then their faces lit up with joy.
The reason they had chosen to follow Mo Yu was because they saw his strength and background, but they hadn't expected their new leader's first order to be so bold. To take control of Rockstone City—something they hadn't dared to dream of before. Even at its peak, the Tiger Gang couldn't have accomplished this. Now, it seemed that it was about to become a reality.
With this goal in mind, the crowd straightened up with renewed vigor. When a person has a clear goal, their entire demeanor can change dramatically.
Watching the group suddenly transform into a pack of fierce wolves, Mo Yu smiled and stepped out of the hall. The Yuan Manor was newly established, and as its leader, Mo Yu needed to establish his authority. The Wolf Fang Gang would be his first stepping stone to power!
Besides, the Yuan Manor was still very weak. If they could swallow the Wolf Fang Gang, their strength would grow rapidly. Using Rockstone City as a foundation, one day Yuan Manor would dominate the entire Black-Corner Region.
Following Mo Yu out of the hall, Zihuo (Purple Fire) followed closely behind him. Next, Ling Feng quickly gathered over fifty elite fighters, raised the newly made Yuan Manor banner, and the group marched aggressively towards the Wolf Fang Gang's territory, their faces filled with killing intent.
On the streets, passersby quickly made way for this fierce-looking group, casting curious glances and whispering to one another.
"Huh? Aren't they from the Tiger Gang? Why are they out now? Aren't they afraid of the Wolf Fang Gang?"
"You're behind on the news. I heard the Tiger Gang has allied with a mysterious young man. That young man is said to have powerful connections, and he even has a Dou Wang expert as his bodyguard. With that kind of backing, the Tiger Gang is about to rise!"
"Look at that flag! They've even changed their name. They're not the Tiger Gang anymore—they're now called the 'Yuan Manor.'"
"Yuan Manor? I wonder who their leader is. Who could be so powerful?"
"Look, it's that silver-eyed young man leading the way. Shocking, right? I heard that even Ye Cang, the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang, was so scared of him that he fled in panic."
One bystander, who seemed to know the backstory, looked at the slender silver-eyed youth at the front of the group with a reverent gaze and laughed.
"No way! That youth can't be more than twenty years old. How could he have defeated Ye Cang, a five-star Dou Ling?"
"Well, maybe not the youth himself, but the towering man behind him certainly could. I saw with my own eyes that man's shout killed dozens of Wolf Fang Gang members, and with one punch, he gravely injured Ye Cang. He's definitely a Dou Wang expert. With a Dou Wang on their side, Yuan Manor could easily become a second-tier force in the Black-Corner Region. I think the Wolf Fang Gang is in serious trouble, and Rockstone City is about to get a new ruler. I wonder just how far this newly established Yuan Manor will go…"
As Mo Yu and his group marched through the streets, they soon reached the heavily guarded Wolf Fang Gang headquarters, which was as tightly secured as a fortress.
At this moment, the Wolf Fang Gang headquarters was on high alert because their leader had been injured. A large number of gang members were patrolling the entrance, their faces tense and serious as they gripped their weapons.
When they saw the large group of former Tiger Gang members approaching, their faces quickly filled with panic. Several Wolf Fang members scrambled inside to report what was happening.
Mo Yu, gazing calmly at the trembling Wolf Fang gang members gathered at the gate, stopped in front of them.
"This is the Wolf Fang Gang's territory. What do you want?" one of the scrawny Wolf Fang members, his voice trembling despite trying to sound tough, shouted at the group of fierce-looking men blocking the gate.
"It may be your territory now, but it won't be for long. Call out Ye Cang. Perhaps I'll let him live," Mo Yu said calmly as he stopped in his tracks.
Silence fell. The Wolf Fang members at the gate remained silent, exchanging nervous glances. They had already heard what happened earlier—how their leader had been gravely injured by the towering man standing behind the silver-eyed youth.
"Forget it. Let's just go in ourselves." Seeing their silence, Mo Yu smiled indifferently and took a step forward.
"Swish, swish…" As Mo Yu stepped forward, the dozens of Wolf Fang members at the gate instinctively moved to block his path.
"Move aside!"
Seeing them try to block the way, Zihuo leaped forward, his massive body towering over the mercenaries. He raised his hand and thrust it out forcefully.
With a simple movement of Zihuo's hand, a sudden burst of violent energy surged forward like a storm, smashing into the chests of the Wolf Fang members like a massive boulder.
"Bang, bang!"
The impact hit them like a thousand-pound rock, and the Wolf Fang members' faces instantly paled. They spat blood as they were thrown into the air, their bodies falling lifelessly to the ground, painting the scene with a rain of blood.
Seeing Zihuo's effortless display of power, Mo Yu glanced at the now empty gate and turned to the others from Yuan Manor. "Let's go."
With that, he walked in, as casually as if he were entering his own home.
Following Zihuo, Ling Feng and the others from Yuan Manor looked at the Wolf Fang members, who were coughing up blood and flying through the air. From the moment they arrived, they hadn't had a chance to fight even once. Zihuo, the head of the Lion Hall, was like a human-shaped beast, singlehandedly wiping out the entire Wolf Fang Gang.
Inside the tightly shut main hall, dozens of people were pacing nervously. As they heard the screams coming from outside, their faces were filled with fear. A tense atmosphere gripped the hall.
Just as their anxiety reached its peak, the heavy doors suddenly shattered into countless pieces, flying in all directions.
Wood chips fluttered to the ground as the silver-eyed youth slowly appeared in their view.
"Well now, hiding in here—is it that fun?" Mo Yu's playful voice drifted into the hall.
As his words entered the room, everyone's hearts clenched slightly. They looked up to see the silver-eyed youth standing casually in the doorway, sunlight falling on him, making him look as warm and gentle as his smiling face.
But when their eyes fell on his silver pupils, they saw no warmth—only cold indifference.
Seeing Mo Yu enter, the people in the hall immediately backed away a few steps.
Mo Yu scanned the room as he walked in, followed by Zihuo, Ling Feng, and the others, who glared menacingly at the group in the hall.
"Hmm, where's Ye Cang? I don't see him," Mo Yu said, his silver eyes narrowing slightly as he noticed the absence of the Wolf Fang leader.
Upon hearing Mo Yu's question, the Wolf Fang members exchanged uneasy glances. Seeing that Mo Yu was becoming impatient, they finally pushed forward a middle-aged man, a seven-star Dou Master.
The man bowed respectfully to Mo Yu and said with a bitter smile, "Sir, when our leader heard you were coming, he fled with his most loyal men. The Wolf Fang Gang is all that's left."
Mo Yu blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected Ye Cang to be so decisive, abandoning the gang and running away.
But a small figure like Ye Cang didn't matter. If he escaped, so be it—he wouldn't cause any trouble.
Turning his attention to the remaining Wolf Fang members, Mo Yu smiled playfully. "You attacked the Tiger Gang, causing them great losses. Now that the Tiger Gang belongs to me and has been renamed Yuan Manor, I think we need to discuss how to settle this. How do you think we should handle the damage you've caused?"
The faces of the remaining Wolf Fang members instantly turned pale, cold sweat pouring down. Without wiping it away, the middle-aged man trembled and said, "Our Wolf Fang Gang is willing to pay 500,000 gold coins to compensate Yuan Manor. Is that acceptable?"
Mo Yu shook his head, still smiling.
"How about 800,000?"
"800,000?" The man's face grew even paler as he saw Mo Yu still shaking his head. The smile on Mo Yu's face was growing colder by the second. Finally, the man couldn't take it anymore and cried out, "Sir, just tell us what you want! With your strength, we can't resist!"
At this point, the remaining Wolf Fang members had given up hope. With Yuan Manor's terrifying strength, the Wolf Fang Gang had no right to negotiate.
The massive man beside the silver-eyed youth exuded a terrifying aura, his gaze like that of a ravenous beast, sending chills down their spines.
"Let the Wolf Fang Gang merge into Yuan Manor. Lower-level members will be paid off and removed, while members who are Dou Masters and above can stay and join Yuan Manor," Mo Yu said, lightly tapping his fingers on the back of his hand.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned. After the initial surprise, the former Tiger Gang members were overjoyed.
If Yuan Manor swallowed the Wolf Fang Gang, not only would they dominate Rockstone City, but even nearby cities would struggle to compete with them. Yuan Manor's power would grow rapidly!
As members of Yuan Manor, the stronger the group became, the greater their own benefits would be.
While Ling Feng and the others were celebrating, the remaining Wolf Fang members looked at each other, their minds racing. They had already been abandoned by Ye Cang, and if they hadn't been too slow to escape, they would have left the Wolf Fang Gang long ago. They had no loyalty left for the gang.
Now, hearing Mo Yu's offer to join Yuan Manor, many of them were tempted. Although Yuan Manor was newly established, having a Dou Wang expert backing them meant that their future was bright. Joining Yuan Manor now was clearly a better option than staying in the leaderless Wolf Fang Gang.
"Well, what will it be? Will you join Yuan Manor, or should I take care of things myself? It's your choice," Mo Yu said, pausing for a moment before adding with a smile, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
Under Mo Yu's intense silver gaze, the remaining Wolf Fang members felt a chill in their hearts. They had been intimidated by Zihuo's overwhelming power, but now they realized that their young leader was just as terrifying.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, the remaining Wolf Fang members stepped forward and knelt before Mo Yu. "We pledge our loyalty to the Lord of Yuan Manor!"
Seeing that the Wolf Fang members had submitted, Mo Yu nodded calmly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since you've chosen to join Yuan Manor, you'll be part of the Lion Hall from now on."
"Oh, and this is Zihuo," Mo Yu continued, pointing to the towering figure beside him. "He's the head of the Lion Hall. From now on, you'll follow his orders."
Although Ye Cang had fled with some of his most loyal followers, nearly a hundred elite members of the Wolf Fang Gang remained, including more than ten Dou Masters. Ling Feng would not be able to control them all, so Mo Yu assigned them to Zihuo's Lion Hall. With Zihuo's power, keeping them in line would be easy.
Of course, Mo Yu didn't think too highly of the Wolf Fang members. In his mind, the Lion Hall would become Yuan Manor's most powerful fighting force. Eventually, it would be honed into a sharp blade. But for now, Yuan Manor was still new, and things would have to be more flexible. Once everything was running smoothly, the weaker members would be gradually weeded out.
When they heard they were being placed under Zihuo's command, many of the Wolf Fang members smiled bitterly. Zihuo's overwhelming strength terrified them, and any rebellious thoughts they might have had were quickly crushed.
"Greetings, Lord Zihuo!"
Once the merger was complete, Mo Yu nodded and slowly stood up. He turned to Ling Feng and said, "Prepare for the merger. Clear out the corrupt elements of the Wolf Fang Gang. Remember, Yuan Manor has no place for those who only know how to bully the weak."
After giving his orders, Mo Yu turned and walked out of the hall. Ling Feng glanced at the nervous Wolf Fang members before quickly following him.
As the former Tiger Gang members watched Mo Yu's slender figure walk away, they couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. In just half a day, the largest force in Rockstone City had been forcibly merged into Yuan Manor. The whole situation felt like a dream.
Unconsciously, they began to feel a stronger sense of identity with Yuan Manor. Perhaps, one day, Yuan Manor would truly become famous throughout the Black-Corner Region.
And when that day came, they could proudly say that they were part of Yuan Manor!
