"Six... Sixth Master?" Sun Tong couldn't have dreamed that Sixth Master Wu would be here at this moment.
Although Sun Tong followed Master Ma and often expressed his disdain for Wu Shengchang, after all, Wu Shengchang was indeed one of the six major leaders of the Hong Company, with formidable strength. So, when Sun Tong actually saw Wu Shengchang, he was really frightened.
"Haha, having you call me Sixth Master really flatters me." Wu Shengchang laughed and looked at Sun Tong.
At this moment, many people also looked at Wu Shengchang.
Few had met Wu Shengchang, but many had heard the name 'Sixth Master Wu'. So when Sun Tong addressed Wu Shengchang as 'Sixth Master', everyone present was immediately taken aback, as they had some suspicions that the person before them could be Wu Shengchang, 'Sixth Master Wu'.
Upon hearing this, Sun Tong quickly said, "Sixth Master, forgive me, I didn't know you were here, so my words were inappropriate. I ask for your forgiveness."
Wu Shengchang said, "There's nothing inappropriate, it's just that a friend of mine told me someone was bullying him, so I came."
"A friend?" Sun Tong immediately looked at Ye Xiao, who was sitting with his legs crossed, and then said, "So he is Sixth Master's friend. Since he's Sixth Master's friend, naturally, nothing can be said. Sixth Master, I think today must be a misunderstanding."
"It doesn't seem like a misunderstanding." These words were spoken by Ye Xiao.
Sun Tong looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother, let's just let this matter go."
"Alright then, you can apologize to me, and let that guy, Brother Kun, drink the beverage, oh no, you and he will each drink half." Ye Xiao said.
Sun Tong hadn't paid much attention to the beverage earlier, so when Ye Xiao mentioned it again, he immediately looked at the beverage. The bottle, which should have been filled with Fanta, was now full of red liquid that appeared very viscous.
"What's this?" Sun Tong immediately looked at the bottle in confusion, his eyes then turned to Kunzi.
Kunzi had been terrified upon seeing Wu Shengchang's arrival, feeling doomed since even one of the six major leaders of the Hong Company, Sixth Master Wu, was present. However, when Ye Xiao mentioned the special beverage again, Kunzi felt there might be a sliver of hope.
"Brother Sun, this is a concoction of one-third chili sauce, one-third high-proof liquor, and one-third mustard sauce. It's undrinkable; he's just trying to insult us. Brother Sun, we're with Master Ma, we showed Sixth Master respect, they should at least give us some face for Master Ma." Kunzi said quietly to Sun Tong.
Sun Tong thought Kunzi's words made some sense and immediately looked at Wu Shengchang, saying, "Sixth Master, if it were just a bottle of beverage, I would definitely drink it. Even if it was a bottle of liquor, I would still drink it clean. But this liquid is a mix of 'chili sauce', 'high-proof liquor', and 'mustard sauce'. How can anyone drink that? Sixth Master, I respect you, but your brother here is obviously making things difficult. Your brother doesn't give me face, that's fine, but surely we should give Master Ma a bit of face, shouldn't we?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shengchang felt it was quite amusing. Just the thought of what was mixed in that beverage made him laugh, wondering what Ye Xiao was thinking. Each of the three ingredients was hard to swallow individually, let alone mixed together. Wasn't this just torturous? However, even though Wu Shengchang found it funny internally, he said sternly, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to use Master Ma to press me? Today, I'm afraid you have no choice but to drink this, and you have to drink it all by yourself."
"This..." Sun Tong was suddenly astonished and at a loss, realizing that Wu Shengchang's face was gloomy, suggesting he wasn't joking.
Just as Sun Tong was clueless about what to do, a voice came, making Sun Tong feel it was a lifeline.
"Sixth Master, this might not be proper, how about we contact Master Ma and ask for his opinion?" The person speaking was none other than Ma Chao, standing beside Wu Shengchang.
Upon hearing this, Wu Shengchang frowned and said, "Ma Chao, has your brain been damaged? Don't you know whose man you are? Go over there right now and pour whatever that drink is into his mouth."
Sun Tong was greatly alarmed, realizing that since Wu Shengchang had spoken these words, he was determined to force him.
"Sixth Master has done me a great favor, but I disagree with Sixth Master's actions today. That stuff is absolutely undrinkable. A bottle of drink is a small matter, but it concerns Master Ma's reputation. We should at least give Master Ma some face." Ma Chao said, looking determined.
"Ma Chao, what is wrong with you today?" At this moment, Yan Luo, standing nearby, yelled at Ma Chao, "Do you know who you're talking to? Are you with Sixth Master or with Master Ma? Don't forget, you were once a small henchman under Master Ma, and it was Sixth Master who discovered you, leading to who you are today. Sixth Master has done you a great favor, and if you dare utter another word of defiance, I'll show you the consequences of disrespecting Sixth Master right now."
Ma Chao, upon hearing Yan Luo's words, glared at Yan Luo and said, "Yan Luo, don't pretend to be a good guy here."
Yan Luo's face immediately turned ugly.
Wu Shengchang also looked at Ma Chao at this time and said, "Ma Chao, I've been good to you, you shouldn't embarrass me today."
"Sixth Master, today I'm asking you, will you give Master Ma face?" Ma Chao asked.
"Hmph, what do you think?" Wu Shengchang sneered disdainfully and then immediately said to Yan Luo, "Yan Luo, take over Ma Chao's duties in the future. Ma Chao can work as your deputy."
Sun Tong seemed to have become an outsider at this moment, completely clueless about what to do next. Wasn't everything different before now? How did it suddenly turn into a grudge between Wu Shengchang and Ma Chao? Wasn't Ma Chao Wu Shengchang's most trusted subordinate?
At this point, Sun Tong was somewhat confused.
Ma Chao laughed loudly, said nothing, but walked directly up to Sun Tong, looking at him and saying, "You must be Sun Tong."
Sun Tong nodded, saying, "Brother Chao."
"Tell your Master Ma, what I, Ma Chao, did today has nothing to do with him. What I did today was something I've suppressed for a long time," Ma Chao shouted loudly.
Sun Tong looked at Ma Chao with a sorrowful expression, suddenly very puzzled, not knowing what Ma Chao was going to do. But just at this moment, Ma Chao raised his hand, and suddenly, half the people originally with Wu Shengchang pulled out their guns and pointed them at Wu Shengchang's head.
"Ah?" Sun Tong was shocked, as was nearly everyone present. It could be said the place was in turmoil.
At this moment, the sky had already darkened, seemingly indicating that some things could only be done at night.
Wu Shengchang was also panic-stricken, looking at Ma Chao and saying, "Ma Chao, you've turned against me?"
"Haha, Sixth Master, you finally got it right today," Ma Chao bore a menacing expression as he looked at Wu Shengchang, saying, "Indeed, I've turned against you today. And let me tell you, some of your forces are now under my control."
"What?" Even Wu Shengchang, usually composed, was facing panic now.
Sun Tong looked at Ma Chao in disbelief; he couldn't comprehend what game Ma Chao was playing. But if this was all a bluff, how could it be? Who would play like this in broad daylight?
"Brother Chao, Sixth Master is an important figure in the Hong Company," Sun Tong whispered to Ma Chao, "If this fails, it could be..."
Ma Chao also looked at Sun Tong, saying, "Brother Sun Tong, it happens to be a coincidence today, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What favor?" Sun Tong asked.
Ma Chao said, "When you return, please tell Master Ma that if my action today succeeds, I can take half of Wu Shengchang's territory. Then, I hope Master Ma can stay out of the matter in the future."
Sun Tong immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, but how will I get back?"
Ma Chao said, "You can leave now with your men, today I'm going to conclude it all here."
Upon hearing this, Sun Tong didn't dare delay, quickly saying, "Yes, yes!"
Sun Tong immediately signaled Kunzi and his crew, who hurried along with him to leave. But at that moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that there were still two people, Ye Xiao and Jin Yina.
Sun Tong and Kunzi quickly left with their men. Just about reaching the door, they heard Wu Shengchang shout loudly to Ma Chao, "Ma Chao, don't forget, you're always my subordinate; don't overestimate yourself."
"Haha, if you follow my lead today, no harm will come; otherwise, there will be blood today," Ma Chao shouted.
However, Wu Shengchang laughed loudly and said, "You're right; blood will be shed today, but whose blood is the question. Catch Ma Chao for me!"
Sun Tong heard this as well and turned back in astonishment, realizing that the gunmen who had just been aiming their guns at Wu Shengchang had now turned their guns toward Ma Chao.
"Brother Sun, Ma Chao's men have defected," Kunzi also noticed this and exclaimed to Sun Tong in surprise.
Sun Tong said, "It seems this must be reported to Master Wu quickly."
Meanwhile, Ma Chao seemed equally shocked, and his body darted sideways to make a run for it, at which point gunshots suddenly exploded.
"Guns fired?" Sun Tong was stunned; he hadn't expected the guns to actually be fired.
If Sun Tong still had doubts before, now he was certainly sure that Ma Chao's rebellion had failed.
And at that moment, Wu Shengchang roared again, "After him! Bring him dead or alive!"
