Family was a sacred word. It represented a kind of harbor and a form of support. It was also the softest place in the hearts of almost all members of the mafia.

This sort of softness was something that the gangsters had to protect with all their hearts. It was the reason why almost all of the members of the Tiger Gang were outside fighting and dying. No matter how bitter or tired they were, they could still persevere.

However, they were not willing to walk into their own homes, nor did they want to talk about their own families. They did not want to embarrass their families, to let others know how their families worked, to let them know that they were scum that their families could not even lift their heads in front of others.

People could see that the members of the Tiger Gang were talking and laughing outside, but they rarely thought of the bitterness in their hearts, and very few people were willing to understand them, because they were evil people, looked down on by others, and were the scum of the entire society.

And Qin Fu's words had undoubtedly hit the hearts of all the core members of the Tiger Gang in the hall. As Qin Fu's words fell, the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Almost no one was discussing how to fight against the Green Bamboo Gang anymore because everyone was afraid and worried whether or not their family and those they cared about would be harmed if they failed.

The more they thought about it, the more likely it was that they would feel it, and the more their morale instantly plummeted.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing's countenance changed. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she glared fiercely at Qin Fu. If it was possible for her to kill someone, Lin Qing would definitely kill Qin Fu with a single slash of her sword.

Although right now Lin Qing had the ability and strength to kill Qin Fu, she knew she couldn't. If she were to take action now, she would undoubtedly be the enemy of everyone.

However, his expression was calm as usual, Qin Fu knew that Lin Qing would definitely not dare to make a move now, because once he did so, he would forever lose his heart, and it would be difficult for him to grasp the authority of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang. He would also not be able to convince anyone, and it was precisely this kind of convincing that made Qin Fu extremely confident.

Although Qin Fu knew that after today, he would become a thorn in Lin Qing's side, Qin Fu didn't care. According to Qin Fu, the Green Bamboo Gang in Red Leaf Town would not have much time to attack the Tiger Gang Division.

At that time, with the strength of the Green Bamboo Gang and the chaos of the Tiger Gang's division, Qin Fu could not see even the slightest chance of victory.

In addition, the person he had humiliated the most was also the person he cared the least about – Huang Shan. Yet he had become Lin Qing's trusted aide. The moment he was given a firm foothold, his fate would be clear without even thinking about it.

He knew that no matter how good the Tiger Gang was in the future, it would no longer be suitable for him. For his future, for the people behind him, Qin Fu did not mind offending them, and he would not allow anyone who might become his enemy to have the opportunity to take control of the situation and unite the forces under the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang.

Looking at the Qin Fu who had no fear of her, Lin Qing knew and understood that her plan today had failed. In any case, Lin Qing never would have thought that this Qin Fu would see it so clearly, so clearly, directly into the hearts of the members in the righteous hall.

Looking at the silent and low morale core members of the Tiger Faction, Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Even if she had appeared and killed Xue Xie and Wen Baoqian, she had established her prestige and made people fear that she wouldn't be able to play any role in the battle against the Green Bamboo Gang.

When they arrived home, they would have to face it with a smile no matter how bitter and tired they were. When they saw the sweet smiles on their families' faces, their parents, their lovers, their women, their wives, or their children's faces, they would feel that everything was worth it. This kind of feeling was worth it.

Seeing that situation, Lin Qing was also helpless. Even though after establishing her might, in the hearts of all the core members of the Tiger Gang, she had already become a bloodthirsty killer. The term "cold-blooded" was enough to scare people, but what could she do?

A person with an absolutely dark reputation was the easiest to execute, even if Lin Qing's reputation was built on blood and her life.

Previously, Lin Qing had also thought about the various possibilities that could appear in this Gathering Hall. She had also made all kinds of unexpected plans, and had even thought about the possibility of someone betraying her.

However, all of these things didn't appear, everything went smoothly. Lin Qing easily found a target to establish her might on, and her target was also very cooperative.

However, when Qin Fu said this, everything changed.

Even if Lin Qing's prestige was already high enough, when her decision could harm her family and those she cared about, it would mean the failure of the decree that she was going to issue. It would also mean the failure of Lin Qing to consolidate the Tiger Faction into a sub-division.

Lin Qing was infuriated in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. Although she could forcefully suppress the discordant voices of the crowd, when the day of the battle arrived, the rule she had forcefully suppressed would become her greatest powder keg.

The hall fell silent. No one spoke a word as most of the people's eyes were focused on the ashen-faced Lin Qing, waiting for her order.

Facing the eyes of the crowd, Lin Qing was also at a loss. It was true that because she was in a dream, her character and even her EQ had improved by an unknown amount. However, this was not her first time encountering such a situation.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Qing knew that regardless of what happened today, it was best not to think about joining the faction that was split between the Tiger Faction and Red Leaf Town.

Lin Qing waved her hand, preparing to announce the cancellation of today's meeting. However, when they reopened the meeting the next day, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside, causing Lin Qing, who had been holding up her hand, to lower it.

Everyone looked towards the door. This was a normal disciple from the Tiger Gang wearing black. His face was pale and he looked flustered. The fierce running made his breathing quicken.

Seeing that everyone's gaze was focused on him, the ordinary gang members of the Tiger Gang who had never experienced such a battle before could not help but kneel down and bow their heads, saying, "There is a messenger from the Green Bamboo Gang outside the hall. I do not dare to be slow, I am here to report."
