620: Chapter 620: A Good Opportunity to Seize Power 620: Chapter 620: A Good Opportunity to Seize Power After Xiang Yu got on the elevator, he kept thinking about the situation below, where all of Gao Leiming’s men were now gathered.

They were like headless dragons, in complete disarray.

Xiang Yu’s biggest concern was that someone could take over Gao Leiming’s role after his death and rally the troops, which would be a major headache.

However, the rapid expansion of Gao Leiming’s power was also his disadvantage.

Many of the brothers were not sufficiently loyal, and although they obeyed under Gao Leiming’s tyranny, they would revolt once Gao Leiming was dead.

This was also why Xiang Yu dared to eliminate Gao Leiming so boldly.

If Gao Leiming’s brother, Gao Leiliang, had held that power, he would have thought twice, but Gao Leiliang was useless.

Without his brother, he was nothing.

Xiang Yu quickly reached the lobby on the first floor.

All his elite forces were here today, their faces filled with anticipation, hoping Xiang Yu would lead them out.

The brothers around him made way, allowing Xiang Yu to move to the front.

“Brother, their men are all gathered outside,” Xiao Xuan said calmly.

They now had more than a hundred and seventy people, all strong and capable soldiers, confident and determined to wipe out the ragtag forces outside if they advanced.

But this matter was too significant, and without Xiang Yu’s order, none of them dared to make a move.

Tie Zhuzi stood on the side, anxiously wringing his hands.

He could hardly wait.

The fight in the basement just now had not been satisfying.

He liked the feeling of being surrounded by enemies, where he could land a punch on several at once.

Tie Zhuzi held a high status among the brothers, and they all liked him a lot.

Now, they gathered around him, hoping he would speak to Xiang Yu and urge him to lead them out.

Living up to expectations, Tie Zhuzi then chuckled and approached Xiang Yu, saying, “Yu Bro, the brothers can’t wait any longer, why don’t we all just storm out?”

Xiang Yu knew their nature, getting excited at the prospect of a fight, but that was a good thing, better than being timid.

He then turned to his brothers and said, “Don’t rush, just wait a bit longer.”

After speaking, Xiang Yu turned his gaze outside, where many people had gathered around Gao Leiming’s body.

Some had pained expressions, others were worried, and still others were indifferent.

There were also those who were loudly crying over it, and Xiang Yu watched these people from a distance.

He noticed that those who were crying were not truly upset but were instead making a statement.

Xiang Yu was particularly worried about these kinds of people because they were schemers.

Knowing that Gao Leiming’s death brought new opportunities, they would seize them.

Sure enough, a young man lying on Gao Leiming’s body was crying bitterly, continuously shouting, “Big brother, rest assured, no matter who killed you, I will avenge you.

No matter where they flee, as long as I, Qin Liang, am alive for even a day, I will slaughter them.”

Qin Liang spoke with righteous indignation.

Those around him, who had not been as upset initially, clenched their fists upon hearing him, swearing to avenge Gao Leiming.

Of course, while Qin Liang was speaking, some people also cast disdainful glances at him, clearly aware that he was putting on a show.

But most were fooled by Qin Liang’s sincerity, believing he was loyal to their big brother.

Furthermore, Qin Liang’s status among them was very high, which was why he had the privilege to be at the forefront.

“Brother Liang, we’re willing to follow you and avenge our Big Brother,” shouted one of Qin Liang’s men at that moment.

“Yes, Brother Liang, now that the Big Brother is dead, it would be better for you to lead us to avenge him.

We’ll listen to you,” another chimed in.

With these words, the people around started to pay attention to Qin Liang.

Some nodded in agreement, while others quietly left the area.

They had originally harbored dissent, and now with Gao Leiming dead, they had no intention of seeking revenge for him.

The support for Qin Liang grew louder and eventually, even those who were undecided began to shout that they wanted to follow Qin Liang.

About a third of the people outside were now vocally supporting him.

By this time, Qin Liang was visibly buoyed by the moment and stood up from beside Gao Leiming’s corpse.

He looked around and shouted, “Thank you, brothers, for trusting me, but I do not have the ability to lead you.

I can only rely on my passionate blood and go with my own brothers to revenge our Big Brother.

You should think of other means.”

“Brother Liang, we all admire you.

If even you aren’t qualified, then nobody here is.

I am willing to follow Brother Liang.”

“I am willing.”

“And I am willing too.”

Of course, those who shouted first were naturally Qin Liang’s men, meaning they were under Qin Liang’s influence.

Avenging Gao Leiming was a minor matter; what was crucial was that he had to capture his brothers’ hearts.

Seeing so many brothers willing to follow Qin Liang, others also joined in the clamor to follow him.

More brothers joined in.

Eventually, Qin Liang, looking deeply moved, pretended to wipe a tear and said, “I understand what you mean, brothers.

Since you think so highly of me, I will take on this great responsibility.

I swear in front of my brothers that I will avenge our Big Brother.”

Qin Liang spoke with righteous indignation, but a middle-aged man not far from him scoffed coldly.

This man, surrounded by people, was the second in command of the organization, named Gao Jiang.

By rights, with Gao Leiming dead, Gao Jiang should have been in charge.

However, even though he was the deputy, Gao Leiming hadn’t trusted him much when he was alive, consequently he didn’t have many followers.

Furthermore, many brothers simply didn’t respect his status as the deputy, including Qin Liang.

Qin Liang had been a major figure under Gao Leiming and had never really regarded Gao Jiang highly.

With Gao Leiming dead, it was the perfect opportunity for Qin Liang to seize power.

His major rival was Gao Jiang.

However, Gao Jiang was quick-witted and, due to his youth, quite popular among the brothers, many of whom were willing to follow him when he called.

Meanwhile, Gao Jiang just watched everything with a cold eye.

He didn’t have much affection for Gao Leiming and sneered even more at Qin Liang’s performance.

He didn’t try to win over other brothers, merely standing there with his own loyal followers.

Qin Liang kept saying he wanted to avenge the Big Brother, and though the enemy was right there in the hotel opposite, here he was, tearfully winning people’s hearts.

It was simply sickening.

Tie Zhuzi inside the hall, witnessing Qin Liang’s performance, felt disgusted to the core.

Then pointing outside, he said, “Look at them!

What kind of people are they?

Their own Big Brother has become like this, and they’re still here pretending to be sad.

Fuck their hypocrisy, don’t these cowards realize we did it?”

Eager to get the fight started, Tie Zhuzi hoped the others would stop their false piety and just start the fight quickly…
