The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 171 - 175: The Underworld Boss’s Little Sweetheart (7)
Chapter 171: Chapter 175: The Underworld Boss’s Little Sweetheart (7)
"It’s a miracle that your little group hasn’t been swallowed up by the Axe Gang,"
"Sis, how did you know?"
Su Li smiled inscrutably, "Otherwise, how could I be fit to be a boss?"
Tang Dao mumbled under his breath, "I used to be a boss too." But he only dared to whisper it, making sure Su Li couldn’t hear him; the spot on his face where he had been stepped on still hurt.
Su Li was highly sensitive, but she pretended not to hear.
Of course, she had compiled this information herself.
The little gangs formed by Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao couldn’t even make the rankings in the North District, let alone stand up to the colossal entity that was Boss Huang’s faction.
They were just a rabble of ruffians. Many were underage teens from various high schools and middle schools in the North District who had given up on education.
Despite their numbers, if it really came down to it, they were not much to talk about.
They had watched a few gang-related movies and TV shows and were all dreamers of a glorious life in the worldly society.
The Axe Gang was slightly better, with a few formidable characters within its ranks.
Despite the do-or-die stance between Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao, at crucial times, both showed a bit of intelligence, though not in abundance.
Together, they barely had a hundred men, enough to resist the pressure from the Axe Gang.
But now the higher-ups had started causing trouble, and their control over the lower ranks had weakened considerably.
Clearly, the Axe Gang was getting impatient and ready to forcefully absorb Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao’s little gangs—this concern was precisely what made them so anxious.
Everyone wanted to collect more protection money from this territory.
Now every penny mattered.
That was also why they were rather pleased with Su Li’s ascension.
Being a boss might be prestigious, but the pressure was no small matter either.
With this in mind, Jin Buhuan couldn’t help but wear a somewhat schadenfreudian expression when he looked at Su Li.
Su Li: "..."
How did this guy even become a boss when he can’t keep his thoughts off his face?
Was it a case of choosing the tallest among the shortest?
Noticing Su Li’s undisguised scrutinizing gaze, Jin Buhuan suddenly covered the golden items on his body protectively.
With an expression of painful sacrifice, he said, "Sis, these are all the valuables I have, but I’ll gladly offer them to you without any regret."
Jin Buhuan was just short of beating his chest and swearing to the heavens.
Su Li: "..." But your face is telling a different story.
Tang Dao couldn’t help but chime in from behind, "Sis, don’t be fooled by him. His gold necklace, gold watch, and gold rings are all fake—the only real gold he has is the tooth in his mouth."
Jin Buhuan: "You’re ruthless."
"Sis, Skinny stashes money in his shoe soles and inside his underwear—that’s all his wealth,"
Su Li just wanted to be alone with her thoughts at the moment, wondering if there was any way out for her with these two former bosses. Surely, not everyone below them was this type of material?
But Su Li ultimately couldn’t get her moment of peace.
She had Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao summon all their underlings.
Those underage, still in school—were all forced to return to their studies.
You say there’s no money for tuition?
As long as they wanted to learn, from elementary to university, the gang would cover all the tuition fees.
Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao really looked like they wanted to drop dead.
They had painstakingly run their gang for so many years, slowly amassing a small treasury, which the cold-hearted Demoness then generously distributed away.
The two put aside their differences all at once and huddled together to discuss the possibility of jointly overpowering the Demoness.
Feeling his own lightweight rib cage, Tang Dao mused, "I seem to be a bit short. Maybe you should go?"
Jin Buhuan immediately frowned, "I may look tough, but you’re more agile."
Their "friendship" was as superficial as plastic flowers. They barely got through a couple of sentences before they were at odds again.
"What are you whispering about?"
In a blink of an eye, they saw Su Li, the Demoness, standing behind them with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao nearly lost their souls in fright.
It was over. They weren’t about to experience being airborne, were they?
However, Su Li seemed not to hold a grudge, simply handing them a piece of Piaopiao paper filled with densely written names.
"Handle it according to the list, but any with a bad record or unsavory past, get rid of them all. We value quality over quantity."
Jin Buhuan glanced at it and exclaimed in shock, "Sis, this is too much, if we do it your way, there’ll hardly be anyone left in our gang."
"Who’s the boss now, me or you?"
Seeing Su Li’s stern glance, Jin Buhuan quickly retreated, "You’re the boss." You call the shots.
Su Li didn’t bother explaining to them; it would be a waste of time as they wouldn’t understand anyway. It was enough that they followed orders.
And if they didn’t follow orders?
She would beat them until they did.
In the past, Su Li had always taken a circuitous approach to matters. In her previous worlds, she had never been as forthright as this.
This was the first time she realized how handy a strong fist could be. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Having once been bosses, Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao did have some capabilities, and quickly accomplished the tasks Su Li had set for them.
Their shabby headquarters, an abandoned Martial Arts Hall, was also refurbished by Su Li.
It was their facade after all, and it couldn’t look too shabby.
The expenses were "generously" covered by the friendly donations of Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao.
And the newly reformed gang was christened Nameless Martial Arts—naturally derived from her Nameless Dao Scripture.
Since the place had once been a Martial Arts Hall, it was only natural to take up activities associated with its reputation.
Su Li considered herself somewhat knowledgeable about the Nameless Dao Scripture and found teaching these people, who couldn’t defeat even one of her palms, to be more than manageable.
Jin Buhuan and Tang Dao didn’t dare complain again. Thinking of the Demoness’s prowess that night, and imagining if they could be like her, were they worried they wouldn’t have any territories to seize for themselves?
"Go distribute these flyers."
Before they could finish their daydreaming, Su Li dumped a pile of flyers on them.
"Recruiting students? Why?"
"Just do it. Why ask so many questions?"
Facing these two blockheads, Su Li felt her calm demeanor evolving toward irritability.
"How do you suppose we support such a large family from the meager protection money? Since we’re running a Martial Arts Hall anyway, teaching you lot or teaching more students is all the same. Plus, if we find any promising talents, we can bring them in. Many birds with one stone, why wouldn’t we do it?"
In the end, Su Li still took the time to explain to them.
