Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"Said in Cantonese..."

The Black Robe Law King added in time, "Master, several other injured persons who were able to speak also said the same."

"Oh..." Li Hong pondered.

"Master..." Sheng Hongwei appeared hesitant as if wanting to say something.

Li Hong glanced at him and said gently, "If you have any thoughts, speak boldly. Even if you are wrong, I will not blame you!"

"Thank you, Master..." Sheng Hongwei was touched again, then continued, "In Hongwei's opinion, the attackers should be related to the 'Hung Men.'"

"Hung Men? Do you mean the 'Chee Kung Tong'?" Li Hong looked interestedly at him. "Why do you think so?"

"Wise Master, Hongwei is indeed referring to the Chee Kung Tong!" After habitually flattering, Sheng Hongwei explained, "The Chee Kung Tong is the branch name of the Hung Men in A country. Although its influence in Los Angeles is not as strong as our sect, its branch also firmly controls the underground forces in the east of this city..."

Li Hong rolled his eyes inwardly. Why were his subordinates so fond of giving lectures?

Seeing that Sheng Hongwei seemed to be about to elaborate on the origins of the Hung Men, Li Hong quickly said, "Hongwei, why don't you tell us how you think the attackers are members of the Hung Men?"

"...Yes, Master. There are many members of the Chee Kung Tong in A country who speak Cantonese, and among those two young men, it was obvious that the one coordinating was of Chinese descent. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the Chee Kung Tong that one must not harm fellow countrymen without cause..."

The Black Robe Law King added, "That's right. In this attack, all those who died were white or black, and all those injured were of Chinese descent!"

"This is not strong evidence..." Such reasoning certainly couldn't convince Li Hong.

At this moment, the King of the Golden Wheel, who besides the Dragon Elephant Law King had the broadest knowledge in the Shura Sect, suddenly spoke up, "Master, I also think it might be the work of the Hung Men!"

Li Hong naturally had to take the judgment of the third-ranking figure in the sect seriously and immediately asked, "Oh? Why do you also think so?"

The King of the Golden Wheel said slowly, "Before you closed off, I carefully examined the injuries of the wounded and found that their injuries were very similar to those caused by the 'Hung Men Fist'!"

"Hung Men Fist?"

"The Hung Men Fist is one of the main routines in the Hung Men's boxing. This fist is powerful, penetrating through the body, using strength to subdue others, and winning with force. When practicing the fist, one must keep the chest collapsed and the waist sunken, twist the wrist and turn the arm, move the body like a galloping horse, bend the waist and kick the legs..."

In the King of the Golden Wheel's description, Li Hong couldn't help but inwardly roll his eyes again. He was just expressing surprise, not ignorant of the characteristics of the Hung Men Fist. Why was he being lectured again?

After the King of the Golden Wheel finished his long-winded "nonsense," Li Hong said, "Although our sect has never clashed with the Hung Men, why would they attack us?"

The King of the Golden Wheel remained unchanged in expression and said directly, "I don't know."

Li Hong tried to control his urge to roll his eyes and glanced at his subordinates. He found that only Sheng Hongwei seemed ready to speak, so he said, "Hongwei, tell us your thoughts."

"Master and all the seniors are aware of Hongwei's thoughts, but they are just reluctant to say them directly..."

The venerable King Zunsheng, who usually had the air of a high monk, now looked troubled. "Master, Mayor William, who was originally on good terms with our sect, suddenly stopped cooperating for some unknown reason. Even when we asked him to help order the arrest of the attackers, he made many excuses. Later, he disappeared and was said to have suddenly flown to Hawaii on official business!"

At this moment, even someone as calm as Li Hong couldn't help but be angry. "Humph, how dare he bite the hand that feeds him! Without my support, without the mobilization of more than eighty thousand followers of our sect, how could a mere upstart win the mayoral election..."

"Master, please calm down!" King Zunsheng advised. "I believe Mayor William is well aware of this too. It's just that, due to some kind of helplessness, he had to avoid our request!"

After venting his anger, Li Hong quickly calmed down. He furrowed his brow and said, "Are you saying it's the Hung Men again?"

"The Chee Kung Tong branch of the Hung Men in A country has been around for over a hundred years. They should also have their representatives in official circles, and their status should be higher than that of Mayor William..."

Li Hong deeply felt the reasonableness of this. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly stood up and said, "Even though the Hung Men are strong, the A country government would never grant them too much privilege, at most implying that William should not assist us! William's departure also confirms this! In that case, let's defeat these external enemies with our strength! Although the Hung Men are powerful, our sect is not weak either. Furthermore, we have eighty thousand followers around us. To quote a Chinese saying, 'Let us launch a people's war and eliminate all enemies in the sea of the people'!"

Inspired by Li Hong's words, everyone's morale soared!

The Black Robe Law King said arrogantly, "Master, I have long been prepared. Three hundred gunmen are fully armed upstairs, just waiting for your command. I will lead them to eliminate the Chee Kung Tong branch in the east in one fell swoop!"

King Zunsheng also immediately expressed his stance, "Master, the one hundred and eighty-six guardians under my command are also ready. We can go out at any time to besiege and kill those who dare to be enemies of our sect!"

Li Hong nodded in satisfaction and looked to the King of the Golden Wheel. The latter also made a declaration, "Please rest assured, Master. Over the years, using the 'Body Part Acceleration' secret technique, the 'Dark Guards' trained in secret have eighty people who have reached first-class skills, among them thirteen have become first-class masters at the peak of post-heaven. Dealing with those lamas from Sakya, we are sure of victory!"

"Good, good, since that's the case, then..." Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot, Li Hong had just said half a sentence when he couldn't continue. It wasn't because someone interrupted, but because he suddenly felt the earth shaking violently.

"An earthquake...?"

"Could we be so unlucky? I was only buried once in '94..."

"Everyone, don't panic. We specifically chose this location for our sect, and it's unlikely to experience a severe earthquake..." Li Hong's words to calm everyone down were not finished yet when a huge piece of the ceiling collapsed, burying him completely.

"Master..."
