The sudden intrusion of the henchman made both Xie Nan and Lin Feng pause their conversation.
"Damn, those troublesome bastards are back? If it wasn't for the Loyalty Gang's current weak state and our inability to confront the Axe Gang head-on, I would've beaten them senseless long ago! Let's go check it out!"
Xie Nan, uncharacteristically cursing and grumbling, stood up and angrily stormed out.
Lin Feng also got up and followed Xie Nan and the others out of the private room.
"Damn, besides singing and dancing, don't you guys have any other activities? I want something else!"
Lin Feng and Xie Nan had just walked from the private room to the dance floor when they heard an incredibly arrogant voice.
"Shut it off, shut it off! Turn off the damn music, or I'll smash the equipment!"
The owner of that voice yelled, and then the two lackeys behind him rushed forward to chase away the bar's resident singer and sound engineer. They turned off the music, and the entire bar suddenly fell silent.
The bar's customers were scared and wanted to leave, but members of the Loyalty Gang promptly reassured them, urging them to stay in a corner.
"Gentlemen, if you have any issues with Fenghuo Bar, you can tell me. Your method of protest is frightening the customers." The manager of Fenghuo Bar, a young man in his thirties dressed in a white shirt, walked up to the leader of the troublemakers, a middle-aged man with a drooping mustache.
"Damn, I'm used to protesting this way. What of it? You gonna bite me?" the man with the drooping mustache retorted arrogantly to the bar manager.
After he spoke, the two men in black shirts standing behind him immediately stepped forward, their gazes vicious as they stared at the bar manager, Pan Lizheng.
Pan Lizheng was Xie Nan's confidant and a key figure within the Loyalty Gang. Of course, he knew these men had been sent by the Axe Gang to cause trouble. Xie Nan had repeatedly instructed that the Loyalty Gang should not directly confront the Axe Gang at present and must endure.
So, facing the aggressive demeanor of the man with the drooping mustache, Pan Lizheng gritted his teeth in anger, his fists tightly clenched. Ultimately, he shot a harsh glance at the man and remained silent.
"What's the matter? Getting an attitude? Feel like fighting? Damn, just try and lay a hand on me! Call your bar manager over; I want to file a complaint!"
The man with the drooping mustache puffed out his chest, glanced at the surrounding customers, and yelled, "What are you looking at? Get the hell out of here! If I ever see any of you here again, I'll beat you every single time!"
His words were clearly intended to drive customers away and put Fenghuo Bar out of business.
Some timid customers, seeing the situation, rose uneasily, ready to leave.
However, at that moment, a man stepped out, stopping them in their tracks.
"Who's being so arrogant, trying to drive people away from Fenghuo Bar!" Xie Nan slowly walked over from the direction of the private rooms, suppressing the anger in his heart. He appeared calm, already possessing the demeanor of a gang leader.
Lin Feng watched calmly from the side, standing among the henchmen of the Loyalty Gang. He would not make a move unless it was absolutely necessary.
Upon seeing Xie Nan, the man with the drooping mustache was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, "I know you. You're the owner of this bar, Xie Nan, right?"
"What do you want?" Xie Nan walked over until he was only a step away from the man with the drooping mustache.
"I wouldn't dare 'instruct' you, but some of my brothers and I are unhappy. The other bars around here offer drinking, dancing, Misses for company, and even drugs. Your place has none of that. We've got a problem with it. A big problem!" the man with the drooping mustache said arrogantly. "You opened this bar for customers to have fun, right? Well, we're not having fun. So, are you going to give us a refund and apologize?"
The man with the drooping mustache laughed triumphantly as he spoke. It was clear to anyone that he was just picking a fight, intending to severely humiliate Xie Nan's Loyalty Gang.
"You son of a bitch, you're deliberately here to cause trouble, aren't you! Damn it!"
Xie Nan could tolerate it, but one of his henchmen standing beside him couldn't hold back and shouted.
"Damn right, I'm here to cause trouble! So what? I'm from the Axe Gang. Your bar established some bullshit Loyalty Gang, right? My name is Xu Liang. Our Second Master Gou sent me to ask you: did you get our Axe Gang's permission to open this bar here? Hehe, if not, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in business!"
Xu Liang revealed his trump card. The Axe Gang held considerable influence in Nanjiang District; they weren't a force that ordinary factions dared to provoke.
"Heh, do I need approval from your Axe Gang just to open a bar? You guys are truly lawless, aren't you?" Xie Nan sneered.
Xu Liang retorted, "So what if we're lawless? You're just a kid, yet you dream of starting a gang? That's quite bold. How about this: your Loyalty Gang joins our Axe Gang. I'll put in a good word with our Second Master Gou, and you'll have plenty of benefits in the future. Running a small thing like a bar will be no problem either; the Axe Gang will have your back."
Looking at Xu Liang's arrogant expression, Xie Nan remained calm and replied with a faint smile, "The Axe Gang has many members and vast resources. Our Loyalty Gang can't aim that high. I think it's best if we each mind our own business."
"Heh, so you're choosing the hard way, is that it?"
Xu Liang moved closer to Xie Nan and said coldly, "So, this Liang Zi, it's set between us as of today. I hear you're a good fighter. Why don't you try and hit me today? If you dare touch me, our Axe Gang will wipe out your Loyalty Gang in minutes!"
Upon hearing these words, Xie Nan's rage surged, veins bulging on his forehead. Even the most patient man couldn't tolerate such a statement.
Clenching his fist, he gritted his teeth and said, "You think I don't dare to touch you?"
"If you dare, then why don't you? Go on, hit me! I'll take one punch from you, and I'll make your entire Loyalty Gang pay for it! Don't believe me? Just try! Come on, hit me!"
BAM!
A punch flew out, knocking out two of Xu Liang's front teeth. Xu Liang staggered, seeing stars, and for a moment, couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
"You... you actually dare to hit me?!"
When Xu Liang came to his senses, he was surprised to find that it wasn't Xie Nan who had hit him. Instead, it was someone who had stepped out from the crowd of customers and landed a surprise punch. Moreover, the punch was quite heavy; he felt as if his entire jaw had been shattered!
The one who had acted was Lin Feng.
As he stepped forward, he instantly became the center of everyone's attention. Even Xie Nan was surprised; he hadn't expected Lin Feng to suddenly intervene.
"I've never seen such a despicable person actually asking for a beating. As a good Samaritan, I just couldn't stand by. I granted your wish. No need to thank me."
Lin Feng stepped out, his gaze sweeping over Xu Liang and his men, who were glaring fiercely at him.
"Who the hell are you? Are you... uh... from the Loyalty Gang?"
As Xu Liang opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly realized that the teeth Lin Feng had knocked out were still in his mouth. Caught off guard, he accidentally swallowed his two front teeth.
