Special Forces Medic-Chapter 875 - 848: Venturing Alone into the Horse Gang

"Shou is indeed the mastermind of the Dark now, but there are still a group of people within the Dark who hold power. Those old-timers see Shou’s inheritance of my position as significant. The Horse Gang has always been snatching our business, and in the eyes of those old-timers, it’s like a thorn. Shou doesn’t want to remove this thorn, but some people want to use it to pull him out. Do you understand?"

Unexpectedly, the people from the Horse Gang all gathered together waiting for his arrival. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still walked confidently among them.

Ma Kun was Master Ma’s son, and after the old man died, he became the successor by rank. He initially had a certain heart about it but didn’t expect someone would interfere and try to take a foot in the door. Seeing this young man in his early twenties walking among them, naturally made it hard to swallow.

"Is this the kid who grew up to look like a big girl?" Ma Kun asked the Master beside him. If it weren’t for this old man standing in his way, he would have taken care of this brat long ago. After all, their Horse Gang was the number one gang in the North District. Although Yao Zheng was dead, being part of this was still significant, who dared not give them face.

"Young Master, please be patient. This is the employer from before the old master passed away. Let’s see how the situation unfolds." It was the first time the Master had seen the newly crowned master of the Dark. Unexpectedly, he was so young. Coming here alone showed a bit of foolish courage.

Young Master Yelv looked around, feeling like he had fallen into a trap. Perhaps he should have brought some people along. His calm face showing no expression, but inside he felt a bit of regret. It seemed in the Dark; he really had no one he could trust, which is why he ended up coming alone. Facing the situation directly felt more secure than being attacked from all sides.

Finally finding an empty seat, he walked over and sat down upright, only to find the expressions of the surrounding people became menacing. He looked at them blankly, "This, can’t sit here?"

Ignoring the Master’s obstruction beside him, Ma Kun jumped out, looking down at Young Master Yelv. "This is not the seat you should sit in."

"Oh, and who are you? I came to find your Horse Gang’s leader."

"Are you here looking for trouble, kid?" Ma Kun grabbed Yelv’s collar but didn’t pull him out of the seat.

"I came on behalf of the Dark to pay respects to your Master Ma. Is this how you treat guests?" Yelv frowned. It seemed that he said the wrong thing, as the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Young Master Yelv, please don’t take it to heart. This is our master’s first heir. The master just passed away, and the young master’s emotions are still in grief, so please forgive his rash actions." The Master hurriedly stepped forward, prying Ma Kun’s hand apart, signaling his men to watch over the Young Master. As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good don’t come. This kid dared to come alone, he must be prepared, so it’s best not to act rashly until we figure it out.

"Master, this kid is here to take territory back. He wants to reclaim our turf, don’t waste words with him, just finish him and throw him back to the Dark. Damn it, they kicked my useless old man out back then, and now they know us again?"

Young Master Yelv blinked. This seemed a bit off; the leader of the Horse Gang used to be from the Dark. He hadn’t heard of this? The Master saw Yelv not speaking, so he had someone serve tea, "I wonder what brings the Young Master of the Dark here this time?"

"Master Ma’s death was strange. Since he was originally one of our people from the Dark, as the Young Master, I had to come and take a look. Dying so unjustly is unsettling!" Yelv responded without a visible reaction. "You must be the Master of the Horse Gang. I’ve heard that the reason the Horse Gang has risen to equal footing with the Dark is greatly due to you. Is that right?"

"Haha, Young Master, don’t listen to outsiders’ gossip. Our Horse Gang wouldn’t dare equate with the Dark, just doing a bit to make a living."

"Doing a bit is quite a business itself. Yao Zheng must have given you plenty of benefits, right? But as soon as Yao Zheng over there died, here Master Ma was set up, even attracting criminal police, which is very unfavorable for the future of the Horse Gang. I’m sure the Master knows the inside story?"

"I can’t speak much here, but our Horse Gang has always acted alone and we’ve never had deep connections with anyone. Perhaps the death of Master Ma was an accident."

"In this line of work, it’s inevitable to make enemies. While Master Ma had a reputation on the street..." Yelv paused for a moment, then let out a few dry laughs. "Doesn’t the Master have any suspicions? I received word that very soon the authorities will be rounding up the Horse Gang, leaving no one associated with Yao Zheng behind."

"Oh, is that so?" The Master glanced at Ma Kun. "Then may I ask if the Young Master has any good solutions? After all, these many brothers still need to make a living, can’t just disperse like this, can we?"

"Of course, especially since Master Ma was one of our own from the Dark. If everyone is willing to return to the fold of the organization, I do have a way to get the police off your backs. What do you think?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Damn, I knew this kid had bad intentions; you are just trying to swallow our Horse Gang." Ma Kun jumped up again.

"Young Master Ma seems to have a problem with me. Is it because I took your place, or are you dissatisfied with our Dark?" Yelv found that the real challenge in dealing with the Horse Gang wasn’t Ma Kun but the Master. Ma Kun was just a useless fool, not a match in terms of force, and to rally such a large group of people requires brains. "Why was Master Ma driven out of the Dark back then? You surely know the reason, and yet you dare to shout in front of me now!" Yelv suddenly shouted fiercely, momentarily causing Ma Kun to back down.

"Young Master, don’t be angry. The past is gone, and Master Ma is already gone. Discussing it now is meaningless." The Master rolled his eyes, and his disproportionately sized head made his short and stout body look bizarrely twisted.

"Now, you have two roads ahead: return to the Dark to continue working for me, or face annihilation!"

Upon hearing the last word, everyone, including the Master, became furious at Yelv’s arrogance.

"Young Master, I’m calling you Young Master out of respect. Don’t mistake kindness for weakness; if you want to leave here in one piece as the Young Master of the Dark, you better recognize the situation. Every one of our brothers here could cut you, enough to cause you trouble." Ma Kun shouted as the Master gave a signal, and suddenly everyone drew their weapons, instantly illuminating the room.

Oh, this formation is still lacking compared to when I dealt with the old guards of the Dark. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
