As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Wentong, the second-in-command of the Snake Clan, pushed a box containing two million Hong Kong dollars in front of the camel.
The camel peeked through the crack and smiled.
"Ah Lang, you're really good at handling things!"
Camel said leisurely, "But to be one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing, you still need real skills!"
Xu Lang laughed and said, "Old Ding, don't worry, I may not have any other skills, but I'm full of skills!"
"Old Ding, you have no idea how much I want to improve!"
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, the camel burst out laughing.
It must be said that he still admires Xu Lang's attitude.
If you're not arrogant enough, what kind of Five Tigers of Tung Sing?
Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a sick cat from Dongxing!
Camel didn't speak directly, and Xu Lang didn't say anything more.
Money can move mountains; since the other party didn't refuse, it's tantamount to acquiescing.
Choosing the Five Tigers of Tung Sing was actually just a matter of a single word from Camel.
He has given what he needed to give, and he is not lacking in ability. When the time comes to select the Five Tigers of Dongxing, Camel will naturally favor him!
P.S.: Requesting some review votes. Thank you all for your support...
Chapter Thirty-Six: The Five Tigers of the Upper Rank, the Eastern Star Qilin Tiger
It was already the next morning.
Xu Lang, accompanied by Meng Renhui and a dozen or so henchmen in black suits, rode in his Mercedes-Benz van, followed by three other vans, towards the headquarters of Dongxing.
When we got off the car at the entrance of the main hall, Situ Haonan had just arrived.
"Ah Lang~"
"Situ~"
Xu Lang and Situ Haonan greeted each other and walked together.
"Brother Lang~"
"Brother Situ~"
Meng Renhui, He Yong, and a group of his underlings behind them greeted the two of them.
The two nodded slightly in response, and then walked towards the East Star headquarters.
"Ah Lang, don't worry, you're definitely one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing this time!"
Situ Haonan suddenly said this.
Xu Lang paused for a moment, glanced at Situ Haonan, and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"
Situ Haonan smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, you'll find out when the time comes!"
Xu Lang said, somewhat speechless, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush with me?"
Situ Haonan then said leisurely, "Last night, Old Camel Ding called and asked me what you're good at. The meaning is quite clear..."
He looked at Xu Lang beside him and continued, "I've fought with you before, and I know your current level. Besides, you're a top-ranking member of our Dongxing Red Pole team, so of course I'd say you're good at fighting!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for Da Mi, Da Dong, and Hua Fo, I know what kind of people they are after all these years in Tung Sing. Don't even mention that they can't beat you; even my top lieutenant, He Yong, is no match for them!"
Situ Haonan waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's why I said you were going to win!"
"besides……"
He continued, "Having ability isn't enough; you also need brains. They don't really think they can get the boss's favor these days without spending money, do they? Hahaha..."
Situ Haonan was able to become one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing not only because he was good at fighting, but also because he was clear-headed and could see the situation clearly. That's why he reminded Xu Lang to send money in advance.
As they approached the main hall, the two stopped discussing the topic and entered the hall chatting and laughing.
At this time, Da Mi, Hua Fo, and Da Dong were all present, along with the other three members of the Dongxing Three Tigers.
A group of people came today to compete for the position of one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing. Of course, there was nothing to say, and they quickly took their seats.
Not long after, Dongxing's old camel and the white-paper-fan-wielding Gu Huolun beside him came out from the side room.
Camel sat at the head of the table, glanced at Young & Dangerous beside him, and then Young & Dangerous spoke first:
"I'm sure you all know the details of why I've invited you here today. Our Tung Sing's Golden Tiger, Sandman, was killed by Hung Hing. This time, we're going to elect a new Tung Sing Five Tigers to take down the leader of Portland Street, Slim Eyes, and get revenge for Tung Sing!"
Here, Young and Dangerous is talking about getting revenge for Tung Sing, not avenging Golden Tiger Sandman. You could say that's how the underworld works:
When people leave, the tea cools; the capable take over!
If the golden-haired tiger is hacked to death in the street, people will only say he's a piece of trash!
Just like in the movie, when Crow and Situ Haonan were killed by Chen Haonan, Lei Yaoyang, one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing, could only call them "trash".
Therefore, when Golden Tiger was killed, everyone in Tung Sing just thought the other party was useless!
This is a long-standing tradition of Tung Sing!
They're killing Slim Eyes not to avenge anyone, but because one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing has been killed, and Tung Sing has lost face!
Camel then picked up where Young and Dangerous left off, continuing, "After the Five Tigers of Tung Sing are chosen this time, they're going to take down the leader of Tung Sing's Portland Street, Little Eyes, to get revenge for Tung Sing. So the Five Tigers of Tung Sing chosen this time must be able to fight. So this time, let's see who among you can fight!"
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Xu Lang, Da Mi, Da Dong, and Hua Fo beside him.
"This time, the four of you are the most outstanding in Dongxing, and you are all top-notch fighters. I want to choose the most capable fighter from among the four of you, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang understood.
Keep in mind that he is currently at the level of a Double Flower Red Stick, and defeating Da Mi, Da Dong, and the other two is a piece of cake for him. This is a sure win, and his position as one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing is secure.
"As expected... those three million Hong Kong dollars weren't wasted!"
Xu Lang muttered to himself.
Da Mi, Da Dong, and Hua Fo didn't say much after hearing this, since what Camel said made a lot of sense and there was nothing more to say.
"Since you have no objections, let's do it this way!"
After Camel finished speaking, the group headed towards the arena in the main hall.
Camel still sat in the first seat, with Young and Dangerous sitting next to him, and the rest were the Four Tigers of Tung Sing.
Who wants to go first?
Looking at the four people below, Camel was the first to ask a question.
"I'll come first!"
There are only four of us, no need for nonsense, let's get to work!
Xu Lang responded and was the first to step onto the dueling platform.
Xu Lang's arrogance impressed Camel, who nodded in approval. Camel then asked, "Who's willing to go up and fight Xu Lang now?"
"I come!"
Da Dong was a Red Pole leader in Tung Sing, and he rose to prominence through fighting. He was considered a very capable fighter in Tung Sing.
Without wasting words, he immediately walked towards the dueling platform.
Da Dong's strength was at the Red Stick level, and Xu Lang didn't take him seriously at all.
After going on stage, Xu Lang easily dodged a few moves, then sidestepped and punched Da Dong in the chest.
"puff--!!"
Xu Lang practices Muay Thai, and his punches are very powerful. Da Dong immediately knelt on the ground and began spitting blood. Then he looked up at Xu Lang with an incredulous expression.
He had fought Xu Lang before, but he never expected Xu Lang to be so strong now.
You should know that he was one of the more prominent figures among the Red Pole members, yet he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Xu Lang in just a few moves?
This...how is this possible?
At this moment, the man sitting on top immediately ordered his men to carry Da Dong away for treatment.
Fighting inevitably leads to injuries. The camel sitting on top and the four tigers of Dongxing remained calm, after all, Da Dong wasn't considered particularly powerful by them.
"Big Mimi, Flower Buddha, who's going up to fight next?"
The camel then spoke.
"I'll fight him!"
Immediately, Hua Fo went straight up to the dueling platform.
After all, it was a selection of the Five Tigers of Dongxing. Although it was clear that Xu Lang was very capable, he still wanted to give it a try, since the position of the Five Tigers of Dongxing was just too tempting!
However, he is far inferior to Da Dong. Although he is a top player in the same league as Da Dong, Da Dong is among the top players, while he is at the bottom.
Moreover, saying he has the strength of a Red Pole (a high-ranking official in the Chinese military) is an exaggeration!
Swish!Swish!
"Uh~"
In just two exchanges, Xu Lang seized the opportunity and kicked out, sending Hua Fo flying off the dueling platform.
Steady! Accurate! Ruthless!
Without the slightest hesitation, the entire sequence of movements was a pleasure to watch.
Anyone with eyes can see Xu Lang's true capabilities.
Meanwhile, Da Mi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, was so amazed by Xu Lang's fighting prowess that her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
He knew Xu Lang had some ability, but this seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined!
If he were to go up there, he'd probably be half dead!
Before Camel could even speak, Big Meow turned around, raised his hand, and said, "I abstain!"
He spoke with great conviction!
