Chapter 190: Chapter 99: The King of Whales! Unparalleled Divine Bravery!_2
Su Changkong’s voice was like a violent storm, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely tense.
Three months ago, the events at Blue Rain Sea were already common knowledge.
Young Gang Leader Sikong Zhan had gone out to suppress the sea pirates, and everything was going smoothly, but then he was attacked by three large Sea Pirate Groups, and among the five Giant Whale Battleships, two were damaged. Nearly a thousand disciples of the Giant Whale Gang, including Sikong Zhan, never returned, in what can only be described as a loss of unprecedented severity.
Most people thought that it was Sikong Zhan’s reckless greed for merit that had led to this outcome, but a minority suspected Meng Sang!
“Meng Sang… indeed, has gone too far.”
“Yes! It’s one thing to struggle for power within the gang, but collusion with external enemies is unforgivable! A thousand cuts wouldn’t be too much!”
Inside the hall, the senior members of the Giant Whale Gang whispered among themselves.
Originally, choosing Meng Sang as the Gang Leader was simply due to a lack of better candidates; everyone was thinking of electing a new leader quickly to settle the gang’s internal and external turmoil.
But now that ‘Sikong Yong’ has emerged from his seclusion, the situation took a drastic turn. What was originally Meng Sang’s succession ceremony became the venue for his trial!
Seeing the current situation, Sikong Wen felt inwardly delighted, knowing that the time was ripe to order the Giant Whale Gang to take down Meng Sang. However, these words couldn’t come from Sikong Yong himself since, given Sikong Yong’s temperament, he would likely take action in person, but that would give the game away. Therefore, it was best for him, the old Gang Leader, to say this.
Immediately, Sikong Wen shouted, “Zhao Tianhuo, Gao An, what are you dallying for? Why don’t you arrest this traitor who has harmed his own gang and redeem your crimes!”
“Yes!” Zhao Tianhuo, Gao An, and the other four Hall Masters all perked up. They had supported Meng Sang as Gang Leader, undoubtedly offending Sikong Yong’s authority. But it seemed he had no intentions of pursuing the matter; as long as they took down Meng Sang, the chief culprit, they could atone for their mistakes and be absolved of past faults!
“Meng Sang, don’t make this difficult! Surrender without resistance!”
The four Hall Masters all stood up at once, their gazes locked onto Meng Sang.
Each of the four Hall Masters was among the top fighters of the Giant Whale Gang. Meng Sang believed he stood a chance against any one of them. However, against all four? He had no chance of winning!
Ultimately, Meng Sang was not an ordinary man. Facing the hostile gazes of the four Hall Masters, Meng Sang, who was previously panicking and sweating profusely, regained his composure. His brain worked frantically, and he bellowed, “Wait a minute!”
All the eyes of the experts in the Giant Whale Gang converged on Meng Sang, almost encircling him. With so many masters joining forces, Meng Sang had little ability to resist!
“You’re not the Gang Leader at all! You’re an imposter from the Sikong Family!”
Meng Sang glared fiercely at Su Changkong, his teeth clenched, yet he seemed certain in his accusation.
This accusation made Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang’s hearts skip a beat.
The other experts of the Giant Whale Gang also showed a slight change in their expressions. In truth, they all harbored a faint suspicion. Sikong Yong had neither emerged from seclusion too early nor too late but precisely at the critical moment. Could it be that he wasn’t really Sikong Yong?
But Su Changkong’s impersonation was too convincing, with a powerful aura and full of confidence. No one had dared to be the first to challenge him. Yet, out of desperation, Meng Sang directly raised doubts.
Anyway, his current situation could not get any worse; might as well go all in!
“Not good…” Sikong Wen silently sensed trouble. Meng Sang’s challenge increased the shred of doubt and concern that others already had in their minds.
Indeed, it’s possible that the Sikong Family could have hired someone to impersonate Sikong Yong in response to Meng Sang’s challenge, a tactic to intimidate everyone. Although the plan seemed somewhat unreliable, it nonetheless worked effectively.
At least, fearing Sikong Yong’s authority, Meng Sang was now the only one daring to question his identity.
Su Changkong’s face remained expressionless. Sikong Wen glared with rage, “Meng Sang, have you lost your mind? Why do you persist with such nonsense?”
Meng Sang ignored Sikong Wen, his attention fixated on Su Changkong. “If you truly are the Gang Leader, do you remember what you said to me before promoting me to Deputy Gang Leader?”
“Who knows!”
Su Changkong inwardly cursed. He had received plenty of information about Sikong Yong and his interactions from Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang, but regarding what was said to a specific person at a specific time, not even a deity could know.
Still, Su Changkong naturally wouldn’t show his hand. He maintained his position on the Whale Bone Chair, looking down at Meng Sang with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if watching a clown perform.
Meng Sang’s teeth were clenched as he stared at the lofty figure before him. He said forcefully, “Before the Gang Leader appointed me as Deputy Gang Leader, he warned me that if I ever betrayed the Giant Whale Gang, he would personally eliminate me!”
His words carried weight, making everyone inwardly nod; this was indeed something Sikong Yong would say.
Then Meng Sang bellowed with all he had left, “If you really are the Gang Leader, why delegate to others? Come on! I’m standing right here, let’s see if you truly are who you claim to be!”
“This Meng Sang has nothing to lose now… directly challenging the third brother!” Sikong Huang thought solemnly to himself.
In the current situation, Meng Sang was cornered with no way out other than to fight for survival, challenging the authenticity of ‘Sikong Yong’ currently before them. If he was real, then he was bound to be killed on the spot, no different from the outcome if the other Hall Masters moved against him. It was worth gambling.
If this Sikong Yong turned out to be a fake hastily sought by the Sikong family in desperation… then Meng Sang had a chance to turn the tide!
