Chapter 473: Chapter 393: The Town Martial Department’s Conspiracy, Pick Them Off One by One?

As soon as he spoke, everyone who had been sitting in silence exchanged glances.

In truth, they all knew the score.

If there were any other options, who would want to just sit here and do nothing?

But what other choice did they have now besides waiting to die?

When still no one spoke, the middle-aged man let out an exasperated laugh.

He nodded. Just as he was about to say more...

Suddenly, a black-robed member of the Blood Handprint burst into the conference room.

The middle-aged man’s expression darkened, clearly displeased.

But just as he was about to reprimand the man, the subordinate rushed to his side.

He whispered a few words in his ear.

Instantly, the middle-aged man’s expression changed dramatically.

"Other gangs are seizing our territory?"

"Yes. They’ve taken back all the territory we previously conquered.

The gangs are also saying they want to drive us out of Yangtou City. They claim we’re the ones who brought this disaster upon them..."

Upon hearing this, the others in the conference room erupted into discussion.

While they were all dead silent when facing the Town Martial Department,

the news that the other gangs in Yangtou City were now making a move

caused the fury they had suppressed for so long to finally boil over.

They all became bloodthirsty and furious.

"Damn it! It’s bad enough that the Town Martial Department chased us all the way to Yangtou City, but now these gangs have a death wish?"

"So we can’t beat the Town Martial Department. You think we can’t beat *them*?"

"We should just wipe them out this time, once and for all!"

"Let’s get them..."

The other low- and mid-level members of the Blood Handprint in the room all started clamoring.

The middle-aged man, however, just watched them as if they were a troupe of performing clowns.

After a long moment, he spoke with a wry smile. "Everyone, have you stopped to think why these gangs, who never dared to cross us before, would suddenly try to take back their lost territory *now*?"

"If someone wasn’t pulling the strings, which one of them would dare make an enemy of us?"

"Use your heads and think about it!"

After he finished speaking,

the others exchanged grave looks.

A moment later, someone spoke up hurriedly. "You mean, the Town Martial Department is behind them?"

"Of course. Without the Town Martial Department’s backing, who would dare?"

"I just don’t understand the Town Martial Department’s objective in supporting them!"

"What’s in it for them?"

"However, one thing is certain: the Town Martial Department has found us!"

As soon as this was said,

a collective gasp echoed through the conference room.

Their greatest fear had come to pass.

If the Town Martial Department was backing those other gangs,

then it meant they had discovered that the Blood Hand Gang was just a front for the members of the Blood Handprint.

In that case...

"I get it. They want to use these gangs as cannon fodder to lure us out. The moment we go out to fight them, we’ll fall right into the Town Martial Department’s trap. They’ll pick us off one by one!"

"Exactly, that’s what I think too. The gangs are just cannon fodder. They’re meant to draw us out. Once we’re scattered, we’ll be playing right into the Town Martial Department’s hands, and they’ll take us down one by one!"

In that moment, everyone agreed this was the most plausible explanation.

Even the middle-aged man fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally nodded. "If that’s the case, then we must proceed with caution."

"Speak freely. Are we going to do something about this, or not?"

"That turf we lost... do we want it back or not?"
