Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1381 - 1366: Little Schemes

"What!!"

Zhang Long shouted, "Dad, you..."

"Don’t speak!"

Old Master Zhang glared and said, "I’ll speak, you keep quiet!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhang Long was stunned on the spot, wanting to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.

"Old Master Zhang, I don’t like jokes."

Song Yun shook his head with a smile and said.

"I’m not joking."

Old Master Zhang looked at Song Yun with blazing eyes and said, "That’s my plan, to let our Axe Sect merge with Shura Alliance, and become a branch of Shura Alliance from now on! From now on, our Axe Sect belongs to Shura Alliance!"

Song Yun didn’t look exceptionally delighted because of Old Master Zhang’s words; instead, he frowned slightly, looked at Old Master Zhang and said, "Old Master, didn’t you tell me you wanted to preserve your Axe Sect’s century-old legacy? But now you’re sending the Axe Sect away, giving it to me, isn’t this contradicting yourself?"

"Hehe, Song Yun, listen carefully."

Old Master Zhang said with a smile, "What I mean by merging isn’t completely giving Axe Sect to your Shura Alliance. Instead, our Axe Sect will maintain relative autonomy to a certain extent. You could say that Axe Sect will become a branch of Shura Alliance in the SH region, under Shura Alliance’s jurisdiction. But internally, we’ll retain the current system. For example, my son will be the head of Axe Sect in the future. If our Axe Sect merges with Shura Alliance, then my son will become the boss or head of the Axe Sect branch. He will be managed by Shura Alliance, while our Axe Sect will still be run by my son. Of course, to facilitate Shura Alliance’s management of our Axe Sect, you can send people to co-manage with my son, like mutual supervision!"

"Isn’t this almost like that thing?"

Song Yun asked.

"Essentially, it’s almost the same. Our Axe Sect merges into your Shura Alliance but still exists in our original way." Old Master Zhang said.

A strange expression appeared on Song Yun’s face as he looked at Old Master Zhang, saying, "Old Master, forgive my impudence, but aren’t you underestimating me?"

"How am I underestimating you?" Old Master Zhang asked.

"You’re completely using us as pawns! Fine, you merged with us, but Axe Sect remains independent in SH, the head is still your guy, I send people over? Sounds easy, but Axe Sect has been under your management for decades, even if we send people over, what good will it do?" Song Yun said.

"Hey, Song Yun, don’t be hasty, I haven’t explained everything!"

Old Master Zhang said, "Merging is just the first step. Second step, after Axe Sect merges with Shura Alliance, all Axe Sect’s businesses will hand over fifty percent to Shura Alliance. This means Shura Alliance will take over fifty percent of Axe Sect’s business in SH. Of course, these businesses are just for your Shura Alliance to manage, you can make money, profit-sharing, commission, everything is possible!"

"Fifty percent of the business?"

Song Yun’s frown slowly eased, he asked, "And then?"

"Our Axe Sect personnel will also be unified under Shura Alliance’s deployment and use!" Old Master Zhang said, "Song Yun, honestly, if there were other ways, I wouldn’t do this, but so far, this is the only way I can preserve my Axe Sect. Moreover, I want you to promise not to turn against our Axe Sect for life, not to start eroding us after we merge with your Shura Alliance. Song Yun, I just want the Axe Sect name to be passed down, not to be forgotten in a few years or decades!"

"And then you just benefit me?"

Song Yun asked.

"Not benefiting you."

Old Master Zhang said, "We truly have no other way. Green Sect is becoming increasingly oppressive, and my health is deteriorating. If I said we should collaborate against Green Sect, you’d think I’m senile. Green Sect, especially in SH, is not someone we could handle just by joining forces! I just hope under Shura Alliance’s big banner, our Axe Sect can find a ray of hope!"

"No other requirements?"

Song Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, asked.

"No, just this." Old Master Zhang said, "The contract and such, I’ve already drafted it, you can take a look first!" Old Master Zhang said.

"Let me take a look." Song Yun said.

"Go and get the box over there for me."

Old Master Zhang said to Zhang Long.

"Dad..."

Zhang Long seemed to want to say something else, Old Master Zhang glared, and Zhang Long didn’t dare say a word, he had to helplessly turn and bring over a box from the cabinet.

Old Master Zhang opened the box, inside was a contract about ten pages long.

Old Master Zhang handed the contract to Song Yun, after Song Yun read it carefully from start to finish, he said, "Since Axe Sect is already so sincere, then if Shura Alliance keeps holding back, we’re in the wrong. Alright, I’ll take charge and agree to this. From now on, your Axe Sect is a branch of Shura Alliance in SH!"

After saying that, Song Yun signed his name on the document, and Old Master Zhang also signed his name.

From then on, SH’s second largest gang, Axe Sect, had a new big brother, which was Song Yun’s Shura Alliance.

"Our cooperation will be very pleasant!" Old Master Zhang held the contract, smiling and said.

"I think so too!" Song Yun answered with a smile as well.

While Zhang Long stood gloomily beside, without saying a word.

Song Yun left the private room over half an hour after signing the contract.

At this time, Zhang Long couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Dad, everything we’ve done recently isn’t it all to prevent Green Sect from annexing us? But you actually merged our Axe Sect directly into Shura Alliance. Isn’t this essentially the same as merging into Green Sect?" Zhang Long said discontentedly.

"You don’t understand."

Old Master Zhang supported the chair with his hand, trembling as he stood up and said, "We’re in the same city as Green Sect. If we merged with Green Sect, it wouldn’t be long before we’re completely assimilated by them. Whereas Shura Alliance is different, it’s in Sunan, not only far away, but separated by Wen Commerce Association in ZJ, Song Yun wanting to fully assimilate us is entirely impossible!"
