The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 445: Alliance

Mao Kangping sighed helplessly when he saw how persistent his son Mao Yajie was. He knew his son’s personality all too well: once he set his mind on something, not even ten oxen could pull him back. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Mr. Ye, I would like to stay in the Capital City from now on. Could you take me in and also let my son join the Victory Sky Society?"

This encounter with Ye Chenfeng in the Capital City might be Mao Kangping’s last chance to seize an opportunity. He had already missed one before when he was at the border. And for the sake of his son, he also wanted to stay and develop his interests in the Capital City.

Ye Chenfeng agreed to Mao Kangping’s request without any hesitation, since the Victory Sky Society’s business kept expanding in the Capital City, and somehow people were needed to manage it. He had a favorable impression of Mao Kangping and had no objections to Mao Yajie joining the Victory Sky Society.

"Since you want to stay in the Capital City, I will arrange some matters for you, and I will make sure your son works together with you," Ye Chenfeng said, knowing that a major reason for Mao Kangping’s decision to stay was his son, Mao Yajie.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you. I will devote myself to serving you with all my heart," Mao Kangping did not expect Ye Chenfeng to agree so readily and to arrange for his son to work alongside him. Honestly speaking, he was quite worried about his son Mao Yajie joining the Victory Sky Society, since after all, it was an underworld organization. If he could watch over his son every day, he would feel much more at ease.

"Old Mao, we haven’t seen each other for so long, and you’re still as verbose as ever? How have you been at the border trade market since we left?" Brother Hu greeted an old acquaintance, clearly pleased to see him.

"Ever since Mr. Ye helped me at the border trade market, my business there has been getting better and better. All of this is thanks to Mr. Ye. If he hadn’t come into my life, I fear my life, Mao Kangping’s life, would have been ruined a long time ago," Mao Kangping said with sincere gratitude in his voice.

...

Just as Sun Zhian returned to the Fiend Snake Club’s clubhouse, his father, the president of the club, Sun Hezheng, was already waiting for him in the office. The moment Sun Zhian stepped through the door, Sun Hezheng rushed forward and kicked him in the stomach, shouting, "You worthless brat, how dare you show your face to me? Who told you to mess with anyone but the Victory Sky Society? Do you even understand the trouble you’ve caused?" Sun Zhian, knowing he had brought dissolution upon the Fiend Snake Club by his own actions, silently endured the kick and knelt down, saying, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I truly do. When are we going to dissolve the Fiend Snake Club? Otherwise, the Victory Sky Society will never let us off."

Looking at the pitiful Sun Zhian kneeling on the ground, Sun Hezheng felt a pang of softness for his own son, and said coldly, "Enough, get up! The Fiend Snake Club is the result of many years of my hard work. How could I possibly dissolve it with my own hands?"

Holding his stomach, Sun Zhian slowly stood up, surprised, and said, "Dad, are you not planning to dissolve the Fiend Snake Club? We can’t withstand the attack from the Victory Sky Society. If we oppose them, we will only end up dead."

"Look at yourself, so pathetic! Are you really my son, Sun Hezheng? You need to think more," Sun Hezheng said with iron-clad disappointment, and then added, "The Victory Sky Society has indeed become the number one gang in the Capital City after swallowing up the Dragon Tyranny Association, but do you think the other big gangs in Capital City will just sit back and accept that? I’ve already contacted the leaders of the Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association, and I’ve made a very good suggestion to them - that all the underground forces in Capital City should form an Alliance. With that, what could the Victory Sky Society possibly do to us?"

"The Victory Sky Society has quickly united Tianhai, that is known to all; I think with the Blood Dyed Association and Wanren Association taking the lead, many of Capital City’s underground forces would be willing to join this Alliance."

A faint smile on his face, Sun Hezheng relaxed considerably once he thought of a solution to the problem.

The worried Sun Zhian immediately perked up upon hearing this plan from Sun Hezheng, saying, "Dad, does that mean we don’t have to dissolve the Fiend Snake Club? We don’t have to be afraid of the Victory Sky Society anymore?"

"Yes," Sun Hezheng nodded and added, "Come with me to the Alliance meeting later. As long as our Alliance is really established, the Victory Sky Society won’t dare to touch us anymore."

...

As expected, with the Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association leading, most of Capital City’s underground forces came to attend this Alliance conference.

In the meeting room, the president of the Blood Dyed Association, Hao Maoyan, and the president of the Wanren Association, Yin Feilong, sat at the head of the conference table. Hao took the lead and said, "I’d like to thank everyone for coming to today’s Alliance conference. You must all be aware of the Victory Sky Society’s recent actions, right? Just because the son of the Fiend Snake Club’s president accidentally offended the president of the Victory Sky Society, they demand that the Fiend Snake Club disband within two days. If things keep going like this, will we have any foothold left in Capital City? Don’t forget, Tianhai serves as a stern warning for us all, and Victory Sky Society’s expansion in Capital City will certainly not stop there."

"President Hao is right. Everyone should think it over. If we form an alliance, it will be of great benefit to all of us. This way, we can limit the Victory Sky Society from laying their hands on you. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to speak up," Yin Feilong also stood up and spoke.

Sun Hezheng saw the many gang leaders whispering among themselves and stood up in high spirits, saying, "Please listen to me, everyone. The Victory Sky Society is far too arrogant. Today they target our Fiend Snake Club, tomorrow it will be you, or you, or perhaps you, you, you..."

As Sun spoke, he pointed his finger at the various gang leaders. For them, forming this Alliance was crucial, otherwise, the Fiend Snake Club was destined to be eradicated from Capital City.

"Let’s not forget, the Dragon Tyranny Association serves as a lesson for us. Having devoured the Dragon Tyranny Association overnight, we are no more than ants in the eyes of the Victory Sky Society. Therefore, we must unite and stick together, only then will we have the power to protect ourselves in front of Victory Sky Society."

After Sun Hezheng’s persuasive speech, most of the people present deeply agreed, thinking that there was not a single fault in what Sun said. Many openly agreed to join the Alliance, and ultimately, every gang that attended today’s meeting joined the Alliance without exception.

Standing next to Sun Hezheng, Sun Zhian saw that things were going very smoothly, his face flushed with excitement, fists clenched tightly, thinking to himself, "Victory Sky Society? Now let’s see how you dare to touch our Fiend Snake Club? The grievances I, Sun Zhian, have suffered will be avenged one day."

At this moment, Sun Zhian’s confidence was immensely inflated, no longer seeing Victory Sky Society as a threat. In his view, now that the Alliance was formed, Victory Sky Society was nothing to be feared.

"Good. Since everyone agrees to join the Alliance, we are all family from now on. If any gang faces trouble, we, as allies, must not stand by idly," Hao Maoyan, the president of the Blood Dyed Association, declared righteously.

Yin Feilong, the president of the Wanren Association, cleared his throat and followed up, "The Victory Sky Society wants the Fiend Snake Club to disband within two days. Let’s see if they actually have the ability to enforce that. With our grand Alliance, Victory Sky Society no longer poses any threat to us."

"Exactly, what’s Victory Sky Society in comparison? As long as we stand united, they are nothing."

"President Sun, your Fiend Snake Club can rest assured. If the Victory Sky Society dares to make a move against you, we will definitely step in to assist."

"President Sun, you can go home and have a good night’s sleep today. Once Victory Sky Society learns about our Alliance, they surely won’t make a move against your Fiend Snake Club. Attacking your club would mean attacking our entire Alliance, wouldn’t it?"

...

Many presidents of Capital City’s various underground forces took turns speaking their minds, displaying deep camaraderie in their expressions and demeanor.
