I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 84: Meng Hu

Bang!

In the hall of a grand mansion in Linhe County Town, a white porcelain cup was heavily smashed onto the ground.

The cup, worth ten silver coins, shattered instantly.

"This is intolerable!"

The one who smashed the cup was a rough-looking man, his face twisted in rage, adding a fierce expression to his features.

He suppressed his anger and looked at the others seated in the hall with bloodshot eyes, saying resentfully, "Gentlemen, the Fierce Tiger Gang has suffered a full-scale retaliation from the Furious Whale Gang, with devastating losses."

This rough man was none other than the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Meng Hu.

A Tier Four True Qi Martial Artist.

Last night and this morning, the Fierce Tiger Gang’s businesses outside the city were suddenly hit with catastrophic strikes.

A gambling house, a transportation company, an inn, and two workshops—all destroyed and burned to the ground.

Casualties exceeded a hundred!

Especially the Ruyi Gambling House, which accounted for more than one-fifth of the gang’s monthly income.

Now it’s reduced to ruins, with the gambling house steward and guards buried in the fire.

It’s as if a limb of the Fierce Tiger Gang was severed!

Although the attackers all wore black clothing and masks, obscuring their identities and origins.

But Meng Hu was one hundred percent certain that this was indeed the Furious Whale Gang’s counterattack against the Fierce Tiger Gang!

Despite having anticipated this.

Meng Hu never imagined the Furious Whale Gang’s revenge would come so fiercely and ferociously.

He had just received another message.

His most trusted lieutenant was found murdered at his home in the county town, with limbs severed and head decapitated!

Although the culprit spared his family.

Such brutal methods even left the usually ruthless Meng Hu shaken.

Beneath his angry exterior lay an unspeakable fear!

The Furious Whale Gang and Fierce Tiger Gang were the two major forces in the Linhe County underworld.

Though they seemed evenly matched on the surface, the former was merely a sub-branch.

The true Furious Whale Gang was a massive organization with influence across three rivers and five lakes, a force to be reckoned with.

Meng Hu was well aware of the Furious Whale Gang’s power, so he usually tried to keep relations peaceful.

However, despite being the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, he couldn’t fully control the gang’s affairs.

Currently, seated in the hall besides Meng Hu were the patriarchs or representatives of the Gu, Chen, Wang, and Sun families of Linhe County.

The Four Great Families served as the silent backers of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

It was they who pushed the Fierce Tiger Gang to confront the Furious Whale Gang head-on.

Meng Hu was filled with fury with no outlet, yet he dared not turn hostile: "The Furious Whale Gang acting so lawlessly, what do you all suggest we do now?"

His words barely concealed his grievances.

An elderly man in a brocade robe stroked his long beard and said calmly, "This plan didn’t fully succeed because the men from the White Cloth Bandits weren’t capable enough to keep Wei Changfeng at Reed Marsh."

"Master Meng, don’t worry. Wei Changfeng was severely injured and won’t recover for months."

"Their retaliation will be limited to this and won’t expand further."

"After all, the Furious Whale Gang today isn’t the same fearsome water-based dragon of the past!"

"I believe Wei Changfeng knows his limits."

"As for your losses..."

The elderly man in the brocade robe smiled slightly, "The buildings can be rebuilt, the dead can be replaced, and your tribute for this month will be waived. Go back and clean up."

His casual response felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Meng Hu’s head.

He couldn’t believe it and asked, "Just let it go like this? My brothers died in vain?"

"If not let go, should we confront the Furious Whale Gang head-on?"

The brocade-robed man’s gaze suddenly turned icy: "Brothers? Your name is Meng, are their names also Meng?"

"Meng Hu, don’t forget your identity!"

The brocade-robed man harshly scolded: "I can tell you, the Celestial Being is arriving soon, and that’s our top priority. By then, your Fierce Tiger Gang will play a significant role."

"If you dare to ruin our plans, consider the consequences for yourself!"

His voice was stern, like a father scolding a son.

The other family patriarchs, though silent, all wore mocking expressions.

Meng Hu’s complexion alternated between green and white, clenching his fists uncontrollably.

He was a mighty gang leader outside, yet in front of these people, he was like a grandson.

After suppressing his indignation, Meng Hu finally lowered his head: "I understand."

"It’s good that you understand."

The brocade-robed man waved his sleeve: "Remember what I said, now get out!"

After Meng Hu left dejectedly, the brocade-robed man picked up his teacup and took a sip, sneering: "An ungrateful whelp, daring to throw a tantrum before us today, may very well bite the hand that feeds tomorrow!"

"We’ll see."

Another elderly man in a white robe said: "If necessary, we’ll replace him. For now, let’s discuss the Celestial Being issue. The Chen Family’s mistake must not be repeated."

"Indeed!"

As these patriarchs began their discussion, Meng Hu had just stepped outside the door.

He walked down the steps and couldn’t help but glance back at the grand mansion, with a flash of venomous resentment in his eyes.

"Gang Leader."

A subordinate brought over his horse.

"Get away!"

Meng Hu snatched the whip and flogged the subordinate a dozen times.

The subordinate fell to the ground, crying and begging for mercy.

"Bah!"

Meng Hu, still fuming, spat on the ground, then mounted his horse and rode off without a second glance.

At the same moment, in Wu Manor, Zhang Yuan was summoned back to the Battle Hall.

In the hall, Vice Hall Masters Zhao Jinlan and Gao Sheng awaited him.

This time, their eyes carried a hint of approval when they looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhao Jinlan smiled and said, "Zhang Yuan, you performed well on this task."

The early morning operation was a fierce retaliation by the Furious Whale Gang against the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Zhang Yuan’s assigned task was critical to this operation.

And this fifteen-year-old boy performed exceptionally!

Zhao Jinlan and Gao Sheng had heard reports from the disciple leading the Battle Hall team.

The latter praised Zhang Yuan as brave, daring, lethal, strong, decisive, and fierce!

Jiang Zhong, also known as Jiang the Knife from the Ruyi Gambling House, was considered formidable.

But he met his end as Zhang Yuan disemboweled him with one stroke and beheaded him with another.

This outstanding newcomer, through continuous honing, was destined to become a sharp blade of the Furious Whale Gang.

A blade aimed at the opponent!

Most importantly, Zhang Yuan had presented a satisfactory show of allegiance.

Zhao Jinlan was gratified.

Because she hadn’t misjudged him.

Gao Sheng handed over a heavy box to Zhang Yuan: "This is your reward."

Zhang Yuan accepted with both hands: "Thank you, Hall Masters."

He knew he had passed the organization’s test and was truly accepted as a member of the Furious Whale Gang!

This is the world of the martial arts underworld.
