Chapter Five: Castrating the Porcupine

In the evening, Meng Renhui summoned his underlings to the finance company.

Since this was a purge of internal strife, not a war between gangs, Xu Lang did not have him gather all his underlings, but instead selected one hundred skilled fighters from among them.

These hundred henchmen, all wearing black vests and sporting buzz cuts, were all muscular and strong.

"Boss, everyone's here!" Meng Renhui reported as he knocked on the office door.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang turned around, opened the safe, took out 500,000 yuan, and handed it to him. "Distribute this to the underlings. Each of them will receive 5,000 yuan for their appearance today!"

Even if it's one's own underlings, in matters involving knives and violence, the boss has to pay them a fee.

Other bosses might give two or three thousand at most, but Xu Lang gave five thousand to each person. Xu Lang knew that he had to be willing to spend money on his subordinates.

The younger brothers followed their elder brother to make a living, just to earn a living. Xu Lang had always been very generous to these younger brothers, so they were loyal to him.

After Meng Renhui handed over his appearance fee, the morale of his underlings immediately soared.

"Don't let us down tonight!" Xu Lang said, looking around at everyone as he came out of the office. "I've paid your appearance fee, and I'll cover your medical expenses if anyone gets injured. But if I find out any of you are not putting in the effort, don't blame me for being ruthless as the boss!"

Upon hearing this, the underlings immediately responded, "Brother Lang, don't worry, if anyone dares to cheat or shirk their duties, we'll teach them a lesson without you even having to say a word!"

"That's right, Brother Lang, we absolutely won't let you down..."

"Okay!" Xu Lang nodded and said to Meng Renhui, "Distribute the money to everyone!"

"Yes, boss!"

Five hundred thousand was distributed to each of the underlings in no time.

After paying the appearance fee, Xu Lang led his underlings into a dozen or so vans that had been prepared and headed towards the timber market.

Porcupine's underground casino was located deep within the Timber Market. He chose this location because the Timber Market had a complex terrain with numerous entrances and exits, allowing him to disperse gamblers quickly if the police raided the premises.

As soon as Xu Lang and his group of more than a dozen vans drove into the lumberyard, they were noticed by Prickly Pig's lookouts.

But before he could report to the porcupines, he was struck on the back of the neck and knocked unconscious.

The person who made the move was Li Hao. Xu Lang had sent Chen Hao with his men to the lumber mill before setting off, and they were to be eliminated as soon as they arrived.

Therefore, it wasn't until Xu Lang led his men into the casino that the underlings at the Porcupine Casino realized what was happening.

"Boss, something bad has happened! Someone's here to cause trouble!" the underling shouted urgently as he pushed open the office door.

"who?"

"Xu Lang!"

Upon hearing the name, Porcupine immediately realized that Xu Lang was after him, and hurriedly ordered, "Damn it, get all the brothers to grab their weapons and drive that bastard out!"

Porcupine is also a top player in the Dongxing professional league, and he has many skilled players under his command.

But faced with Xu Lang's surprise attack, many of his underlings were caught off guard and didn't even have time to grab their weapons, so they could only fight back with stools or other objects.

But these toys were no match for Xu Lang's men, who were like wolves and tigers, armed with all sorts of weapons.

Among them, Meng Renhui and Li Hao stood out the most. Meng Renhui was tall and strong, and he wielded a machete with great force, cutting down seven or eight people in no time.

Li Hao, the fifth brother of Toad, was a martial arts master. With the invulnerability of Toad Kung Fu, even if he was hit by a knife, he would only get a scratch. On the contrary, his punches would either break bones or make the opponent kneel on the ground vomiting blood. The underlings of Porcupine could not stop him at all.

In no time, most of the porcupine's henchmen were beaten down or hacked to the ground.

The porcupine knew this was a life-or-death situation, and it had to fight its way out to have any chance of escaping with its life. So, it went all out, grabbed a machete, and charged toward Li Hao, the most troublesome opponent.

As a certified Red Pole (a type of martial arts practitioner), his skills weren't bad, but compared to a master like Li Hao, he was simply no match.

Seeing him slash at him, Li Hao didn't dodge at all, relying on his body to withstand the blow while simultaneously punching the arrow-wielding pig in the heart.

"puff!"

The porcupine, spitting out a mouthful of blood, was immediately knocked to the ground, several of its ribs broken.

Xu Lang's henchmen immediately stepped forward and firmly restrained him.

The restrained porcupine glared at Xu Lang and said, "Xu Lang, leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future. Do you have to be so ruthless!"

Xu Lang completely ignored him and looked down at him, saying, "You pervert, Uncle Hai asked me to pass on a message to you!"

Upon hearing this, the porcupine's face immediately turned deathly pale. "What the hell do you want to do?!"

"You'll find out soon enough!" Xu Lang said coldly, then ordered his underlings, "Pull down his pants and castrate him!"

"brush!"

"what!!!"

After a flash of cold light, the porcupine let out a shrill scream.

"Chop him up!"

Xu Lang didn't let him suffer for long. A dozen of his henchmen rushed forward, wielding watermelon knives, and began hacking at the porcupine repeatedly...

"what!"

All that remained at the scene was the pitiful screams of the dying pig!

Chapter Six: The Overbearing Finance Company

After defeating the porcupine, Xu Lang received a system task completion notification in his mind.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the system's mission to eliminate the porcupine. You have received the mission completion reward: Agile Body and Proficient Marksmanship."

Upon receiving the system notification, Xu Lang felt a flood of information rush into his mind, and his muscles and limbs underwent subtle changes.

The original owner of this body had been fighting and arguing with people on the streets for many years. Although he looked strong and muscular, he actually had many hidden injuries.

These hidden injuries may not seem significant now and have no impact, but as one gets older, they will manifest as various serious ailments.

Now, with the agile physique rewarded by the system, all his chronic ailments have vanished, leaving him feeling incredibly light. It was as if he had been wearing a thick, heavy fur coat; while wearing it, he didn't feel anything and it didn't hinder his movements, but after taking it off, he felt as if he had suddenly been freed from all constraints, experiencing unparalleled freedom and joy.

As for his marksmanship proficiency, it was transformed into experience and integrated into his body.

Xu Lang had never handled a gun before. After gaining this experience, he realized that guns are not just about pulling the trigger. Even with the Black Star, which is used at close range, an untrained person would likely miss a single shot from an eight-round magazine when shooting at a moving target. As for other semi-automatic guns, it was entirely a matter of luck.

Now, with this experience, he can hit five out of ten targets when shooting at moving targets. This hit rate may not seem high, but it is actually at the level of a skilled marksman among ordinary people.

"Boss, it's all done!" Meng Renhui's report interrupted Xu Lang.

"Hmm!" Xu Lang glanced at the dead porcupine on the ground and said calmly, "Let's retreat!"

More than a dozen vans disappeared into the night in an instant.

Xu Lang lived in his finance company. By the way, his finance company was called Qiangheng Finance Company, which means both strong and domineering!

Meng Renhui, whose only relative had passed away, now lives here just like him. Besides the two of them, Li Hao, the "Frog Lao Wu" talent rewarded by the system, and some of his underlings also live here at the finance company.

In the three-story building of the finance company, the ground floor is where clients are received, the second floor is where the younger staff live and exercise, and the third floor is where Xu Lang lives.

The next day, when Xu Lang got up, washed up, and went up to the second floor, he saw Meng Renhui practicing hitting the sandbag and felt a little itchy to join in.

"Ahui, come to the boxing ring with me and practice!"

After receiving the system reward last night, he hadn't had a chance to test how much progress he had made. Now was the perfect opportunity to spar with Meng Renhui and see how he fared.

"Okay, boss!"

Meng Renhui steadied the sandbag and put on a pair of boxing gloves.

He prefers to practice with his bare hands, but he has to wear boxing gloves when practicing with Xu Lang.

The reason for this is that, in terms of pure skill, he is much stronger than Xu Lang. During sparring in the boxing ring, he mainly focuses on defense, occasionally throwing a couple of punches to practice Xu Lang's reactions.

"Oh!"

"Boom! Boom!"

During practice, Xu Lang discovered that after receiving the agile physique bonus, his footwork and reaction speed were significantly improved. Although he was still no match for Meng Renhui, he was already much stronger than an ordinary Red Stick.

Although Xu Lang was a Red Pole (a high-ranking officer in the organization), he was previously only a regular Red Pole. In a triad like Tung Sing, there were at least dozens of Red Pole members at his level.

According to Xu Lang's estimation, Meng Renhui's strength is only a hair's breadth away from that of the Double Flower Red Stick, the top fighter in the gang.

As for Toad Lao Wu Li Hao, that's a completely different matter.

Li Hao's Toad Style Kung Fu is impervious to swords and spears; even a blade cannot penetrate his defenses. Without the use of firearms, even the most skilled Double Flower Red Pole Prince of Hung Hing would be no match for him.

The highest combat power of various gangs, represented by Prince Shuanghua, is at best a skilled person among ordinary people. They are probably no match for martial arts masters like Li Hao; they are not even in the same league.

After finishing his boxing practice, Xu Lang went to the shower room to wash off the sweat, then went to the office to take out 200,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Meng Renhui.

"Ah Hui, take this money and use it to pay for the medical treatment of the brothers who were injured last night. If there's any left over, wrap it up in red envelopes and distribute them to the brothers who got hurt!"

"Yes, boss!"

After Meng Renhui left with the money, Xu Lang took out another 500,000 yuan in cash from the safe and then called Uncle Hai.

"Uncle Hai, the porcupine matter has been taken care of!"

"I've already heard!" Uncle Hai sounded quite pleased on the other end of the phone. "You handled this matter very well!"

"Uncle Hai, you're too kind. This is just my job," Xu Lang said with a light smile. "I wonder if you're free today, Uncle Hai? I'm itching to play a couple of rounds of mahjong with you!"

"Hahaha, you rascal!" Uncle Hai laughed heartily, "Then let's meet at the Mahjong Parlor later!"

"Okay, Uncle Hai, then we'll meet there!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang called Meng Renhui and took the 500,000 yuan in cash that he had just taken from the safe to the Mahjong parlor...
