Edge of Paradise City, slum, nine o'clock at night.

The sun had long since set, and most of the slum residents, who couldn't afford electricity bills year-round, had lit kerosene lamps or simply shut their doors to sleep. But inside the Iron Wolf Gang's connected shanties, bright incandescent lights were already shining, because they used diesel generators for power.

"Kun!"

"Kun!"

"Kun, you're back!"

...

Outside the connected shanties, a young man with sharp triangular eyes led a few people, striding rapidly. Every member of the Iron Wolf Gang who saw him quickly bowed their heads and respectfully called him Kun, but he paid little attention, looking very busy.

"Mazi, you guys head back first, I'm going in to discuss matters with the boss."

At the entrance of the shanty, the young man with triangular eyes, Kun, turned to glance at Mazi and several followers who had returned with him and instructed.

"Alright, Kun, if the boss has any good tasks, make sure to prioritize us."

Mazi and the others immediately replied.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you if there's something good."

The young man with triangular eyes replied and then stepped past the two shanty guards, entering inside.

At this moment, in the second room inside the shanty, around the table that several core members used as a playing card venue, Wang Zhifan, the new leader, was sitting along with several core members of the Iron Wolf Gang, including the former second-in-command, a lean man, and others like the summoning profession chubby, priest girl, and two gunner players were present.

"Boss! I've obtained the main members list of the Black Fist Gang, as well as a simple map of their main base, and a list of firearms they recently purchased..."

The young man with triangular eyes reported to Wang Zhifan, who was discussing something with others, right after entering.

"Hmm, let me see."

Wang Zhifan immediately took the documents handed over and began to examine them. They were a few not-so-clear photographs and papers with roughly drawn sketches, looking as if they weren't newly made.

"This is 'Big Pompadour' Hong Jiu... he's the boss of the Black Fist Gang..."

"This one is 'Rotten Tooth' Wen Fugui... Black Fist Gang's second-in-command..."

"This is Zhang Hualiu... claimed to be the best fighter of the Black Fist Gang..."

...

As Wang Zhifan examined the intelligence one by one, the young man with triangular eyes, squeezing beside him past a few people, began explaining.

"Hmm... how come you gathered the intelligence so much faster than we expected?"

Finding Kun returned with substantial findings after just a few hours, Wang Zhifan immediately asked in confusion.

"We were lucky, the people we found happened to include someone who possessed information on the Black Fist Gang, although his price was slightly higher than others."

Kun immediately answered.

"Alright... you've done this task quite well... once we take down the Black Fist Gang, you can preferentially choose which businesses you want to take over."

Wang Zhifan tossed a big incentive to this diligent subordinate.

"Thank you, boss!"

Kun quickly replied, not daring to take any undue credit.

Wang Zhifan then began discussing specific strategies with the core members to unify their understanding.

"Next, we'll specifically discuss how to take down the Black Fist Gang. My request is to wipe out all their core personnel in one swoop, so the timing must be carefully grasped. Everyone must go all out during the operation..."

"Boss, as long as you lead us in a sudden assault to catch them off guard, the Black Fist Gang would be unable to endure it. We don't need many tactics, just have someone monitor when these people gather, and then wait for the opportunity..."

The lean former second-in-command of the Iron Wolf Gang, now the third-in-command, immediately suggested to Wang Zhifan, showing great confidence in his new leader's strength.

"Heh... a gang war should look like a gang war. Though I will certainly be personally involved, you all cannot rely entirely on me. This wealth and prosperity aren't something that can be picked up casually. Reward will be based on merit, and whoever contributes the most will get to choose the business they want to manage first. We won't be living in this shanty then..."

After dishing out several more incentives to these core members, Wang Zhifan discussed with them for a while longer before letting them go rest and regain their strength. Then he continued discussing with the four player teammates who had been observing from the sidelines.

"Big Brother, discussing the gang war plan like this is easily leaked, I bet there will be some surprises by then."

The discussion among teammates began with a warning from the tall female gunner player to Wang Zhifan.

She, initially with the stout male gunner next to her, had planned to spend the night in Paradise City's district, but she became very curious after some bragging about Wang Zhifan by the summoning chubby and priest girl, so ultimately she returned to meet with them.

"Let it leak then... in fact, I'd rather the Black Fist Gang's boss find out and bring people over, making things a bit easier for us, and the terrain more familiar."

Wang Zhifan replied nonchalantly, speaking the truth. Everything he was doing was merely to initiate a fairly respectable gang war. He felt no pressure even if it were a straightforward battle of strength, considering it unlikely that the Black Fist Gang would possess bombers or nuclear weapons.

"Fatty, take these intelligence materials first. You will be responsible for reconnaissance and verification, and it'd be best to understand the activity patterns of several key figures in the Black Fist Gang.
