"So that's what happened. I only heard that someone in the Melbourne Chinese community was severely injured, but I never expected it to be Brother Ouyang! I'm glad Brother Ouyang is okay now, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to face you or Master Yang in the future." Upon hearing this, Gu Yezeng's face changed dramatically, a sense of dread filling him.
Others might not know how formidable Ge Dongxu is, but he was well aware.
This was a truly Immortal-like figure. If his only disciple had been killed in Melbourne, then the local gangs would inevitably have blood flow into rivers, and the Chinese Gangs would likely bear the brunt of his wrath.
"Although Murong is safe now, this score must still be settled," Ge Dongxu said softly, a chill emanating from him, making everyone in the council hall inexplicably feel a cold draft down their spines.
"Of course, Master Ge, just give the order. Although I've been out of gang affairs for many years, with the Rebel from Hell targeting Brother Ouyang, I might have to make a return to the underworld once again!" Gu Yezeng declared solemnly, his whole being exuding a murderous aura.
"Murong is my sect's member, no need to trouble yourself," Ge Dongxu said softly.
As he spoke, his gaze swept over those below.
His gaze was electric and sharp as a sword; when it swept over everyone, their hearts suddenly tightened, and their hairs stood on end, as everyone felt as if they were stripped naked, with all their innermost secrets laid bare.
Everyone bowed their heads one by one, no one daring to meet Ge Dongxu's gaze.
"I've gathered you all here today to ask just one question: Was Kohl assassinated by someone amongst you? I hope you can answer honestly. If you answer truthfully today, considering we are all Chinese, I can be lenient. But if I find out later that anyone of you has lied to me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ge Dongxu sternly asked.
"Master Ge, it wasn't me who ordered Kohl's assassination!" Song Wenhong was the first to stand up and respectfully replied.
"Master Ge, it wasn't me who ordered Kohl's assassination!" Following Song Wenhong, the others also stood up one by one, each respectfully responding.
Ge Dongxu, being who he was, looked sharply at them as they answered, peering into their hearts, instantly discerning whether they were feeling guilty or lying to him.
"Good, since Kohl wasn't assassinated by any of your orders. Then, the damage and losses caused by the Rebel from Hell in recent days must be doubly compensated, and the shooters, the chief culprits, must die!" Ge Dongxu said coldly.
"Master Ge, the leader of the Rebel from Hell is named Daisy, a woman beautiful as a flower but with a heart like a venomous scorpion, extremely ruthless and vicious. Her power has grown rapidly over the years, nearly unifying the entire underground forces in Australia. It's said that in Australia alone she has over seventy branches and four to five thousand underlings, with Rebel's presence in nearly every city. Not only that, but Daisy has also extended her reach out of Australia, expanding to New Zealand, the United States, and major cities in Europe. In the underworld of Australia, she is known as the Godmother."
"Daisy also once tried to unify us, the Chinese Gangs in Australia, including the Hung Men and Qing Gang. Although our overseas influence appears dispersed, as soon as there's a threat, all branches unite, and not even well-known forces like the Italian Mafia or Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi can compete with us. We've confronted and negotiated with her several times, made some concessions, and she no longer targeted us. Instead, she began dealing with another major force in Melbourne, the vicious and ruthless Vietnamese 5X Gang. Several severe clashes have occurred between them, and I suspect Kohl's murder is closely linked to the Vietnamese 5X Gang. These Vietnamese are trying to frame us, the Chinese Gangs, hoping to incite conflict between us and the Rebel from Hell, thus reaping the benefits," Song Wenhong explained, noticing the murderous look in Ge Dongxu's eyes, and hence carefully reminding him.
"If you can think of it, Daisy should be capable of seeing this point as well," Ge Dongxu said gravely upon hearing this.
"Even if Daisy could think of such a good excuse among the Chinese gangs in Melbourne, how could she let it go? Even if she was certain it was the Vietnamese who did it, she would just play dumb, blame it on us by mistake, and use this opportunity to suppress and encroach on our territory!" Song Wenhong said with a bitter smile.
"Hmph! Although I dislike gang conflicts, since this matter has come to my head, does she think Chinese are easy to bully?" Ge Dongxu said coldly, his eyes filled with even more murderous intent.
"Master Ge, I know you are exceptionally strong, but it is hard for one to fend off many. Daisy is ruthless and has thousands of underlings, especially under her motorcycle gang department, all of whom are extraordinarily fierce. Once a fight breaks out, a stream of high-powered motorcycles could mean hundreds of people! In Melbourne, everyone fears them. We should consider this long-term and if we can ask for strong support from the Hung Men headquarters, it would be foolproof," Song Wenhong carefully reminded him.
Hung Men has a history of over four hundred years, with more than nine hundred thousand members worldwide and branches all over the world.
Several years ago, the boss of Hung Men, Lin Shen, died in Honolulu, the United States. Over ninety thousand people attended his memorial service, including Hung Men hall masters from around the world and leaders of major global societies. At that time, the United States government deployed more than two hundred thousand riot police in Honolulu alone to prevent riots.
One can imagine how terrifying the foundation of Hung Men is, and how terrifying the hidden power at its headquarters must be!
Of course, this power at the headquarters is kept secret! It is only mobilized for truly significant incidents or when the safety of Hung Men is involved.
For a minor dispute in Melbourne, Australia, it is unlikely that the Hung Men headquarters would send strong warriors.
Song Wenhong had never expected Hung Men headquarters to send strong warriors to help in the fight, but since this incident involved Yezeng, a heavyweight in Hung Men who even addressed Ge Dongxu respectfully, it would be normal for the headquarters to send someone if he asked.
"The issues of my sect, why would I need the power of Hung Men! Just notify that Daisy that I want to meet her tonight to settle the accounts, and let her choose the place!" Ge Dongxu waved his hand proudly.
"This..." Song Wenhong looked worried and turned his eyes to Gu Yezeng.
"Master Ge knows what he's doing, just do as he says!" Gu Yezeng, seeing Song Wenhong's troubled look, said sternly.
"Yes!" Being that Gu Yezeng did not oppose, Song Wenhong then bowed and complied.
...
"Big Brother, according to reliable information, the jade merchant from Huaxia Country has already been discharged from the hospital. Tonight, Song Wenhong and the others have arranged a negotiation with Daisy, at the motorbike club hotel in Dandenong District," in a bar owned by a Vietnamese in Richmond, a dark-skinned man with a green fanged tattoo on his arm respectfully reported to a man sitting in a dark corner.
The man in the dark corner, thin and hawk-nosed with a solid body tattooed with a black dragon, was hugging a heavily made-up, scantily clad Vietnamese girl on either side.
