Chapter 187: Chapter 98: Unparalleled in the World Five Animal Frolics! Qi Blood Four Transformation Turns into Wolf Smoke!_5
The crowd understood that today’s protagonist was Meng Sang, and they estimated that after today, Meng Sang would truly be the helmsman of the Giant Whale Gang!
Meng Sang had a faint smile on his lips, and excitement shone in his eyes. When he first joined the Giant Whale Gang, he was only a few years old. Unlike Sikong Yong, who was born into the Sikong Family with the entire clan’s support, Meng Sang had no status or background; he could only rely on himself to work hard, dare to fight and dare to compete, and had made many contributions to the Giant Whale Gang, finally becoming the Deputy Gang Leader under Sikong Yong’s promotion.
Meng Sang was extremely ambitious. He envied Sikong Yong for easily obtaining everything he wanted, but facing the formidable Sikong Yong, he could only restrain his ambitions until Sikong Yong went into secluded cultivation for many years, ostensibly encountering some problems, which rekindled Meng Sang’s ambition!
“Finally… my era, Meng Sang’s, has come!”
With a faint feeling of pride rising in his heart, Meng Sang strode into Juyi Hall under the gaze of all.
…
At this moment, Su Changkong sat in front of a mirror, looking at his own reflection.
Changing his facial structure and using Disguise Technique, Su Changkong appeared to be in his thirties. His face wasn’t particularly handsome, and his skin was the bronzed hue typical of the jianghu. With thick eyebrows and big eyes and dressed in a Black Whale Robe, he exuded great strength; he definitely did not look like a kind person!
“Father…” Sikong Huang next to him was also lost in thought. Su Changkong had now disguised himself as Sikong Yong, causing her some disorientation. Sikong Yong had been fatally wounded one night when she was still underage, and Sikong Huang would often wake up from nightmares about it.
“How does it look?” A robust voice sounded, it was Su Changkong; he was imitating the voice of Sikong Yong, which he had learned from Sikong Huang and Sikong Wen, and asked.
“It’s perfect… although my father had a more burly build, it’s normal for him to change over several years.”
Sikong Huang nodded in admiration. From the outside, there were virtually no flaws, and what came next was for Su Changkong to see if he could deter Meng Sang and the four Hall Masters with this disguise!
“Then it’s about time for us to leave,” said Su Changkong as he stood up and walked towards the outside of the house, moving proudly and confidently with a dragon’s gait and a tiger’s steps, brimming with self-assurance and dominance in his demeanor.
Sikong Huang’s eyes lit up, for imitating someone, especially a powerful individual, is easy in appearance but difficult in temperament, yet at this moment, Su Changkong carried the aura of a strong person.
What Sikong Huang didn’t know was that confidence comes from strength!
Su Changkong had the confidence underpinned by strength itself; hence he was naturally confident. Otherwise, being timid and unsure would make it easy for others to see through the depth and truthfulness of his character.
“I, Meng Sang, lost both my parents at a young age. To survive, I joined the Giant Whale Gang at the age of five. In my heart, the Giant Whale Gang is my family! From that moment on, I vowed to give my all to make the Giant Whale Gang even more glorious! Now that the Giant Whale Gang is plagued with both internal strife and external threats, I, Meng Sang, cannot shirk my responsibility and am willing to shoulder this burden!”
In Juyi Hall, Meng Sang spoke eloquently and passionately, his emotions running high and infectiously silencing the hall.
“Please believe in me, in Meng Sang. Give me the chance to prove myself! I will carry on the ambitions of Gang Leader Sikong, leading the Giant Whale Gang to ride the wind and waves, swallowing the four seas whole!”
After finishing his speech, Meng Sang took a deep breath, his tone imbued with utmost sincerity.
The next step was to vote on whether Meng Sang could inherit the position of Gang Leader.
According to gang rules, all four Hall Masters must agree, and the majority of Deputy Hall Leaders must consent for Meng Sang to ascend to the Gang Leader’s position.
However, in practice, it would suffice if only the four Hall Masters approved, as the Deputy Hall Leaders under them would surely agree as well.
“In these turbulent times, the Giant Whale Gang indeed needs a leader to increase cohesion, to prevent further chaos! This state of affairs must not continue! I agree to Meng Sang inheriting the position of Gang Leader!”
The first to stand out was an elderly man with white hair but spirited, the Thunder Whale Hall Master, Lei Jie—he was the first to agree to Meng Sang becoming the Gang Leader.
As Lei Jie said, with Young Gang Leader Sikong Zhan’s life and death unknown and Sikong Yong reportedly having problems, having not shown himself for several years, the Giant Whale Gang was in disarray and truly required a new Gang Leader to stabilize the turbulent situation.
Of course, Lei Jie was the first to stand out and agree because Meng Sang had made promises to him; Lei Jie was old and wouldn’t be able to serve many more years, but when he stepped down, Meng Sang had pledged to strongly support his nephew to take over the position of Thunder Whale Hall Master.
“I also agree, Meng Sang’s martial arts skills surpass mine; otherwise, I would definitely have to compete with him!” Then the Fire Whale Hall Master, Zhao Tianhuo expressed his stance.
“Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
The remaining Hall Masters, Wind Whale Hall’s Zhang Lingfeng and Electric Whale Hall’s Gao An, also stated their positions.
In fact, Meng Sang had already approached each of the four Hall Masters beforehand, either promising great benefits or making commitments to successfully persuade them.
If Sikong Zhan had been present before, these Hall Masters would not have agreed, but Sikong Zhan had been missing for several months, and there weren’t any better options available!
“I agree as well!”
“Agreed!”
The other twenty or so Deputy Hall Leaders from the four Halls, seeing their own Hall Masters agreeing, also expressed their agreement one after the other, nearly unanimous!
“I disagree.”
At this moment, from one of the seats, an old voice sounded, particularly jarring.
Meng Sang looked at the person, frowned inwardly, but his face was filled with respectful smiles, “Elder Gang Leader, I understand that the Sikong Family is full of talented individuals, but now no one else is capable of bearing this critical responsibility. This is not a place for one person’s word to reign supreme, and choosing a new Gang Leader quickly is in the best interest of the entire Giant Whale Gang, and no one can use their personal interests to harm the welfare benefits of the whole gang!”
