Chapter 474: Chapter 394: Better to Kill by Mistake, Never Let One Go

"At a time like this, who cares about turf? Survival should be our top priority!"

"I agree. Didn’t we come to Yangtou City to escape with our lives in the first place?"

"I think this turf is the foundation of our power here. We can’t contact headquarters anymore. If we want to survive, we need our own foundation!"

"Foundation? What good is a foundation if we’re dead?"

"I think we should lie low for now. Once the Town Martial Department leaves, we can take our turf back. Now isn’t the right time..."

The people sitting in the room all started debating again.

After a long while, the expression of the middle-aged man sitting in the center grew increasingly grim.

He glanced at the others present and said coldly, "Enough. Have you all argued your fill?"

"Do you really think this is a marketplace? Arguing endlessly!"

"The crisis is right in front of us, and you still can’t reach a consensus on what to do?"

"There are only two choices before us now!"

"First, we take back the turf we’ve lost. But this comes with a risk—the Town Martial Department is lurking in the shadows. They might use this opportunity to pick us off one by one!"

"Second, we call all our people back. Let those other gangs fight over the turf. We consolidate our forces!"

"That way, even if the Town Martial Department comes for us, we might be able to fight them off!"

"Those are the two choices. It’s up to all of you to decide!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone else immediately fell silent.

This time, no one argued. Instead, they all sat there quietly, looking at the middle-aged man.

After a moment, the middle-aged man saw that none of them were speaking.

He couldn’t help but laugh. "Not a single one of you can make a big decision, but you’ll argue endlessly over the small stuff!"

"Now that it’s a matter of life and death, you’re all looking at me to make the call?"

"Fine. Since none of you are willing to speak up, I’ll be the one to decide!"

"Call everyone back from the outside!"

"We’ll gather our strength first. Whether we’re facing the people from the Town Martial Department or the other gangs, we’ll have a fighting chance. If we’re spread out, we’re just a pile of loose sand, waiting to be picked off one by one!"

After he finished, before anyone could raise any objections, he said directly, "It’s decided. Everyone, dismiss."

He walked straight outside.

The others sat there for a short while before leaving one by one.

The night had deepened, and the streets of Yangtou City gradually fell quiet.

The various gangs had reclaimed all the territory they had lost.

Beyond that, not one of them got greedy and tried to seize turf that wasn’t originally theirs.

This, however, came as a surprise to Lin Yi.

"Are the gangs in Yangtou City really this well-behaved? They’re not getting greedy or trying to grab more?"

Wei Nan pinched his chin, his brow furrowed in disbelief.

In his mind, these gangs were just thugs.

There was nothing they wouldn’t dare to do; brawls and fights were an everyday occurrence for them.

Murder and arson were also common.

Especially in the Old District, and in a crime-ridden city like Yangtou City at that.

How could these people be so disciplined? Wei Nan found it hard to believe.

Lin Yi smiled. "It’s not that they aren’t greedy, or that they don’t want more."

"It’s that on one hand, they don’t dare to openly challenge the Blood Handprint people. On the other hand, there’s us. They’re afraid their greed will cost them their lives."

"It doesn’t matter. Give Old Wei and the others a call. Ask them how many of the Blood Handprint men have returned."

Wei Nan nodded, took out his phone, and made a call.

A moment later, he hurried back over and said, "They’ve gathered most of them!"

"These Blood Handprint guys are just like you said!"

"They didn’t choose to take back their turf. Instead, they’ve all pulled back!"

Lin Yi glanced at Wei Nan with a smile.

"It’s human nature, especially when they sense danger approaching.

The first thing they think of isn’t to clash with us head-on, but to retreat!"

"In fact, both humans and animals share this trait. This is how we use their own nature against them for a precision strike!"

"Tell Old Wei and Feng Lei they can begin!"

"Also, have Shan Kui get those gang members moving. Have them hunt for members of the Blood Hand Gang all over the city!"

"Once a member of the Blood Hand Gang is found, kill!"

A frosty glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

When he uttered that single word, "kill,"

the temperature on the entire rooftop seemed to drop.

Wei Nan made the calls one by one.

In the dark of night, figures cloaked in shadow moved swiftly under the moonlight, heading toward the Blood Handprint’s gathering place.

They were like phantoms lurking in the night.

They approached their destination without a sound.

And quickly slipped inside.

The Blood Handprint’s gathering place in Yangtou City was a large casino.

In fact, the entire street was lined with casinos and card rooms of all sizes.

This was the most profitable place in Yangtou City.

The entire street was controlled by the Blood Handprint’s people.

Tonight, this Casino Street was unusually quiet.

Normally, this was the time when it would be bustling with activity.

But now, the street was completely empty, without a single person in sight.

Only a few cars were parked along the roadside.

They looked as if they had been abandoned.

Lin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, then pushed off from the edge of the rooftop.

His entire body shot into the distance like a cannonball.
