Chapter 50: Smashing the Place
Electronic Dynasty.
Snake had just arrived, and Brother Leopard was reporting the arcade’s earnings to him.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers burst outside.
Snake frowned. “What’s going on? Someone opening a new business today?”
Brother Leopard glanced outside and replied, “Looks like a new arcade just opened. I already sent Little Black with some guys to take care of it.”
“Big Brother, don’t worry,” he assured. “As long as I’m here, no other arcade will ever open in Old Square.”
Snake nodded in satisfaction. “Good, I trust you to handle it.”
Brother Leopard chuckled and continued his report.
However, before long, a commotion erupted outside. The sound of hurried footsteps and agonized cries filled the air.
“Brother Leopard! Something happened!”
Brother Leopard’s expression darkened. He had just been praised by his boss, and now trouble was brewing? How could he save face?
He immediately stood up and snapped, “What the hell are you shouting for? What happened?”
One of his underlings rushed in, breathless. “Brother Leopard, Little Black… Little Black got stabbed!”
Brother Leopard’s face changed drastically. He grabbed the underling by the collar. “What did you just say?”
“Say it again!”
At that moment, several men carried in Little Black, his body drenched in blood.
Seeing his condition, Brother Leopard’s eyes burned with fury. He roared, “Who the hell did this?”
“I swear, I’ll wipe out his entire family!”
The underling quickly recounted what had happened.
Hearing the story, Brother Leopard’s rage exploded. “Are you telling me none of you saw who did it?”
“You useless idiots! What the hell have you been eating?”
The group of men hung their heads in shame, not daring to speak.
Just then, Snake stepped forward, his gaze cold as he examined Little Black’s wounds. “The attacker was ruthless,” he remarked. “A few inches higher, and he’d be dead.”
Brother Leopard’s anger boiled over. “Big Brother, Little Black is one of ours!”
“Damn it! They dared to hurt him like this? That’s a blatant slap in your face!”
“Big Brother, what do we do?”
Snake sneered. “Is this your first day running with me?”
“Do we let anyone who crosses us walk away unscathed?”
Brother Leopard instantly understood and gritted his teeth. “This has to be connected to that new arcade.”
“Take Little Black to the hospital!” he barked. “The rest of you, gather the crew! We’re going to tear that arcade apart!”
His men immediately rushed out to rally their forces.
Before long, Brother Leopard had over twenty men assembled, all armed and ready. They marched toward Chen Xue Wen’s arcade with murderous intent.
Snake, on the other hand, remained indifferent. To him, this was child’s play—hardly worth his attention.
…
Meanwhile, at Chen Xue Wen’s arcade, Lai Hou and Wang Zhen Dong sat beside him, trembling slightly.
After throwing out five thousand yuan to lure customers, they had drawn quite a crowd.
However, most people stuck to the arcade games near the entrance. The slot machines inside remained untouched.
That was expected. Few people dared to gamble in a new establishment, especially in Old Square, where everyone knew Snake’s influence.
Most of the onlookers weren’t here to play—they wanted to see how long the arcade would last before Snake crushed it.
Lai Hou gulped and whispered, “Brother Wen, are you sure this plan will work?”
Chen Xue Wen smirked. “We’ll see. If not, we run.”
Lai Hou’s face twisted. “Brother Wen, don’t joke about that.”
“This is Snake’s turf. If they come with twenty or thirty guys, we might not even have a chance to run!”
Wang Zhen Dong, too, looked pale. He had been in prison when Snake ruled the place. He knew firsthand how terrifying the man was.
To him, Chen Xue Wen was tough—but against Snake? He wasn’t sure.
Chen Xue Wen remained calm, glancing at the two of them. “Relax.”
“I have it under control. This plan has a high chance of working.”
“Just wait. The real show is about to start.”
He glanced up at the ceiling. “Besides, we made some backup preparations.”
Lai Hou finally exhaled, a bit more at ease.
Their backup plan? They had stashed bags of lime powder above the ceiling. If a fight broke out, they’d drop it, just like they had against Old Black’s crew before.
Before long, Brother Leopard and his men rounded the corner.
Seeing them, Lai Hou’s face paled. “They’re here!”
Wang Zhen Dong turned ghostly white as well. Brother Leopard had over twenty men with him, all armed.
One look, and it was clear they weren’t here to chat.
Could they even escape?
Chen Xue Wen, however, remained composed, hands behind his back, watching the approaching thugs with a slight smile.
Brother Leopard and his men stormed into the arcade.
The moment they stepped inside, Brother Leopard waved his steel pipe and bellowed, “Smash everything!”
His men immediately surged forward, wrecking the machines at the entrance. In mere moments, a dozen arcade cabinets lay in ruins.
As they prepared to move deeper into the arcade, Chen Xue Wen stepped forward. “Gentlemen, what are you doing?”
“We have no quarrel with you. Why destroy our machines?”
Brother Leopard pointed his steel pipe at him. “Shut the hell up!”
“Listen up! My name’s Feng Leopard, and my Big Brother is Snake!”
“Go get your boss out here!”
Chen Xue Wen smiled. “I’m the boss.”
Hearing this, Brother Leopard’s anger flared. “So, you’re the one?”
“You stabbed my brother?”
“You’re dead!”
Brother Leopard swung his steel pipe straight at Chen Xue Wen’s head.
Chen Xue Wen swiftly dodged.
Brother Leopard snarled. “You dare dodge?”
“Kill him!”
At his command, his men lunged at Chen Xue Wen and his crew.
Just then, a commanding voice rang out from outside. “What do you think you’re doing? Stop this at once!”
Everyone turned.
A team of law enforcement officers had arrived, glaring into the arcade.
Brother Leopard froze.
How had the law enforcement team shown up so suddenly?
What he didn’t know was that after stabbing Little Black, Chen Xue Wen had immediately called the authorities.
The officers had arrived just in time.
