Chapter 188: Chapter 98: Unparalleled in the World Five Animal Frolics! Qi Blood Four Transformation Turns into Wolf Smoke!_6
The one who spoke out against it was Sikong Wen, Sikong Yong’s father, and the former Gang Leader of Giant Whale Gang. His objection wasn’t a surprise to anyone present, and their expressions varied.
They all knew that Sikong Yong most likely had a problem, and the one who had been hiding this news for so many years was Sikong Wen himself.
Meng Sang was even more explicit in saying that no one in the Sikong Family could compete with him.
Sikong Wen said indifferently, “You all want to elect a Gang Leader… but the Gang Leader is still here. What you’re doing is tantamount to rebellion!”
At these words, everyone inwardly shook their heads, having expected Sikong Wen to say something significant.
If Sikong Yong really had no issues, he would have emerged long ago to take charge of the situation. Sikong Wen was still stubbornly denying it, still concealing the truth from them!
“Elder Gang Leader, we understand your feelings, but you can’t just keep us in the dark. Is the Gang Leader alive or dead? We haven’t even seen his face! How can we not choose a new Gang Leader?” said Lei Jie, the Hall Master of Thunder Whale Hall, helplessly.
“Yes! If there really is a problem, let’s speak out and figure it out together!” the other Hall Masters also echoed one after another, which was something they had kept to themselves for a long time.
Sikong Wen had no choice but to conceal Sikong Yong’s death, to protect Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang who were still young at the time and to prevent enemies from taking advantage of their vulnerability.
Meng Sang saw that without having to speak himself, the other Hall Masters had already begun to speak out in agreement, helping him to deal with Sikong Wen’s provocation.
“The overall situation is set, this old man Sikong Wen has never thought highly of my humble origins! Let’s see how long your Sikong Family can prosper within the Giant Whale Gang after you die!”
Meng Sang sneered secretly, thinking that the overall situation was set. Sikong Wen, who had retired many years ago and was now old and weak, could not pose any hindrance to him.
“Hmm? What’s this noise about?”
Suddenly, everyone frowned in unison because of the hustle and bustle coming from outside Juyi Hall, just like a marketplace. This made them dissatisfied. They were discussing important matters inside; what was all the noise about outside? Had the disciples of Giant Whale Gang become so lax in their training?
“He’s here.” Sikong Wen knew it was Su Changkong arriving, and he immediately tensed up.
Getting Su Changkong, who knew the Giant Whale Skill, to impersonate Sikong Yong, whether or not he could get through this ordeal was uncertain to Sikong Wen; it was a desperate move.
“Gang… Gang Leader!”
The Giant Whale Gang disciples guarding the entrance to Juyi Hall were now staring wide-eyed, somewhat incredulously looking at the tall, robust man who appeared at the doorway.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, bronze skin, an imposing presence without anger, brimming with confidence and arrogance, who else could it be but Sikong Yong?
“Gang Leader!”
Inside the hall, the four Hall Masters and all the high-ranking members of the Giant Whale Gang saw the ‘Sikong Yong’ who appeared at the door and could not believe what they were seeing!
Sikong Yong, the legendary figure whose fame reverberated throughout Ink Forest Prefecture City, became the Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang in his youth. At the peak of his fame, he announced his retreat to break through to a higher Martial Arts Realm, but once he retreated, he was gone for six or seven years without showing his face.
Even the high-ranking members of the Giant Whale Gang who were loyal to the Leader Faction had come to believe that something had definitely happened to Sikong Yong.
However, today, Sikong Yong appeared here, which undoubtedly caused a huge commotion!
“Gang Leader… It’s the Gang Leader! He has come out of retreat!”
Outside Juyi Hall, the place was abuzz; all the disciples who witnessed ‘Sikong Yong’ entering Juyi Hall were ecstatic.
To most people, Sikong Yong was the true helmsman of Giant Whale Gang. Meng Sang wasn’t bad, but in comparison to Sikong Yong, he faded into insignificance!
“Gang… has the Gang Leader really come out of retreat?”
The four Hall Masters looked at each other, unable to conceal the shock on their faces.
And the most shocked was undoubtedly Meng Sang, who was completely dumbfounded, the sudden turn of events leaving him momentarily unable to react.
Meng Sang had feared Sikong Yong, which is why he had been stirring up trouble to test waters. From what he knew about Sikong Yong, if nothing had happened to him, he wouldn’t have been able to remain patient.
But even with Sikong Zhan in trouble, Sikong Yong hadn’t reacted. In Meng Sang’s view, Sikong Yong must have encountered some mishap, which is why he was confident today in taking over the position of Gang Leader!
This ‘Sikong Yong’ was naturally Su Changkong.
In the face of all the shocked and astonished gazes, Su Changkong showed no sign of timidity. He walked with his hands behind his back, striding directly towards the highest seat in Juyi Hall—the Whale Bone Chair that was vacant and belonged only to the Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, with Sikong Huang following behind him!
Unconcerned, Su Changkong passed by Meng Sang, who was stiff and in disbelief, and took his seat on the Whale Bone Chair, appearing relaxed compared to the nervousness and astonishment of others.
“This mental fortitude of my younger brother… I’m far from his equal!” Sikong Huang stood dutifully beside him, admiring him in her heart. She had been worried about being exposed.
But it was Su Changkong himself who, despite all the gazes and pressure, remained at ease. Just his state of mind alone was admirable.
In fact, Su Changkong, though young, had gone through many trials and tribulations. He spent years in Black Iron Manor forging weapons daily, training not just the weapons but also his heart, having forged a heart that feared nothing. Soft when needed, but undeniably hard when necessary!
The entire room fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, bewildered by the return of the ‘Giant Whale Gang Leader’ from years of seclusion, unsure how to respond!
“You… have some nerve! I am still here, and you couldn’t wait to rebel?”
Only when a rough and authoritative voice echoed through the hall did everyone tremble, snapping back to reality.
There, the tall and robust man sat in the Whale Bone Chair, just as before, overlooking everything!
