The Forever Harmony Association's headquarters was in the western region, not too far away, about half an hour's walk away.
Even though it was only ten minutes, Zhao Feng did not want to take a taxi. He had a complicated feeling as he slowly walked forward.
It was eight thirty in the evening, and the Xiangjiang's nightlife had just begun. The bustling New Moon Bay was lit up like a dragon, and the night weather was moderate. Without the sun and the gentle breeze, it would feel cool walking on the streets.
On both sides of the street, there were many people coming and going. It was a sign of a bustling city.
Zhao Feng weaved through the crowd, looking like a lonely, cold-faced man. His expression was very calm, but there was a trace of melancholy between his brows.
"Tonight's meal is a farewell banquet, right?"
Zhao Feng sighed, his emotions right now were complicated.
Tang Zhan's matter had ended and he was free to go. Fortunately, he had met his master, and without him, he would not have had a life to live, so it was clear that the heavens were blessing him, allowing him to meet a noble and walk on a different path.
As for his brothers, he could only apologize.
Actually... Even if he wasn't following his master, he had to leave after taking care of Tang Zhan.
"I'm afraid Ah Hu and the rest are going to drink my wine."
Zhao Feng chuckled and quickened his pace.
He was not a sentimental person. Even though he had to leave his brothers, it did not mean that he would never see them again. It was just like when he graduated from university.
The Forever Harmony Association's headquarters was also a relatively high-end nightclub.
Places of entertainment have a strong ability to absorb gold, not to mention a nightclub with a grey deal. It's called a man's paradise, but it's also a place of wildness.
The name of the nightclub was Feng Ming, with the word wind on it. Back then, people had said that they had a lot of affinity with Zhao Feng.
At this moment, more than twenty people were gathered in the fifth floor hall of the nightclub.
At the same time, there were quite a number of subordinates calling each other or calling each other at the same time:
"Hurry back to the fifth floor, big brother Feng will be back soon. He wants all of our brothers to gather for dinner tonight."
big brother Feng was very dignified here. When they heard that they were going to have a meal together, everyone including those who went out to make a living, those who worked on the internet, those who worked on the dark, and even those who were on the chartered bed with the beautiful women, put down what they were doing and returned quickly.
Twenty minutes later, there were nearly sixty people gathered in the hall on the fifth floor.
These people were basically all Zhao Feng's trusted aides, and were estimated that there would be more than ten people who would come one after another. Fifty to sixty of them were people Zhao Feng recognized, and the other ten were also subordinates who had recently purchased goods for the past two months.
If you added in the people who weren't his trusted aides, there were hundreds of them.
Soon, nearly eighty people had gathered in the hall, making it seem rather crowded and noisy.
"Everyone, quiet down. big brother Feng is about to arrive." Seeing that it was almost time, Ah Hu waved and said to the rest.
Ah Hu and the other three or four people were the first group to follow Zhao Feng. They had much authority here as well, so when these words came out, the noise became much quieter.
A few minutes later, the elevator door of the fifth floor opened and Zhao Feng walked out.
"It's here, it's here, big brother Feng is here!"
"big brother Feng!"
"big brother Feng, you're finally back! "The brothers are worried to death about you."
"big brother Feng." Ah Hu laughed and went over, and said: "Everyone is here, the restaurant I reserved is the Metropolitan Restaurant next door, are we going over now?"
Zhao Feng nodded upon hearing it, his gaze sweeping across everyone present. Suddenly, he laughed lightly, raised his right hand, and said loudly: "Tonight, you will not return until you're drunk!"
"Roar!"
"I won't leave until I'm drunk!"
"The mighty big brother Feng!"
The crowd erupted into screams.
Zhao Feng shook his head and laughed, then took the lead to walk to the stairs at the side.
They went from the fifth floor to the next restaurant. The restaurant was already reserved by Ah Hu, so other than the staff, they were the only ones present who wanted to eat and drink.
Nearly eighty people sat at six tables in total. Among them, Zhao Feng's table, other than him, were also the first batch of subordinates that followed Zhao Feng.
"big brother Feng, Master Tang is dead, Leng Feng and the other two strategists are running away, and the entire Forever Harmony Association is collapsing. The territories of the three strategists and the scorpions are a piece of fat, and everyone is staring at them, some even planning to eat everyone else's land. The next Master Tang, I think this is our chance too!" Ah Hu said as a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Ah Hu is right." A bald tattooed man took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Right now, the Southern region is in chaos, I also feel that the big brother Feng is the best candidate to be the new leader. Now, Xia Shanhao, Dong Tianpeng and Ye Han are all staring at us, I feel that before they act, it is best for us brothers to help the big brother Feng get to the top position!"
"Right now, Lao Biao, Meng Wu and the others are already ready to make their move, so there's no need to think about how Dong Tianpeng and the others are waiting for the right moment. Most likely, after these two days have passed, Tang Zhan's disturbance will dissipate and everyone will make their move, so we have to prepare before that, Lao Biao has already said that he will use a week's time to take down New Moon Bay's territory!"
"How dare you boast like that, Lao Biao? Compared to big brother Feng, it was nothing! "Whatever he dares to do, our brothers will do it for him!"
"?"
It could be seen that they truly hoped that their big brother would be able to take charge of the new round of Southern region. In their hearts, Zhao Feng and Dong Tianpeng, were equally powerful.
As for Zhao Feng, a faint smile hung from the corner of his mouth, he continued to drink his tea and quietly listened to his subordinate speak.
The group of people talked for a long time, but still did not see any reaction from Zhao Feng, thus the bald man anxiously said:
"big brother Feng, please give us some face. When are we going to do it? I'll go back and prepare the guys! "
Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head, he still did not say anything, and just happened to start serving.
Several waiters served the dishes together, filling the entire table in a few minutes.
The fragrance of the dishes drifted in the air, causing many of his subordinates to feel hungry, but Zhao Feng did not have any reaction when he looked at the dishes. He was used to eating dishes cooked by Zhang Han, so if he ate any other dishes, he would feel that they were too poor.
The dishes were served, and the wine was also placed on the table. Bottles of local beer were uncorked by his subordinates.
Ah Hu personally poured Zhao Feng a full cup of beer.
"Thank you, brother." Zhao Feng chuckled, and patted Ah Hu's shoulder.
In these recent years, Zhao Feng had never thanked him, because their relationship no longer needed that word. However, at this moment, the big brother Feng actually thanked him, which made a bad feeling rise in Ah Hu's heart.
Under his gaze, Zhao Feng stood up with a smile on his face, raised his own wine cup and said loudly:
"Thank you brothers for coming to this reunion. This first goblet of wine will be ready!"
"Hah!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drained it in one gulp.
After finishing his wine, Zhao Feng poured himself another cup. He did not sit down, his gaze sweeping across the crowd and said:
"Let me toast everyone with this second goblet of wine. At the same time, let me announce something. This goblet of wine... From now on, I, Zhao Feng, will retire from the underworld and fight in the martial arts world. This goblet of wine, thank you all for your cooperation over the past few years! "
With that said, Zhao Feng finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.
However, the whole restaurant gradually quieted down from the hustle and bustle.
Everyone was stupefied as they looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.
"No, big brother Feng, you can't do this, if you leave, what will we do?"
"big brother Feng, you want to give up on us brothers?"
"Why is that, big brother Feng?"
When everyone turned around, they were extremely excited. The restaurant became noisy once again. There were even many people standing up and loudly talking.
"How is this possible?" Ah Hu's body trembled and he quickly stood up. He revealed a smile that was uglier than a cry and said: "big brother Feng, are you joking? "You ?"
"I'm not joking." Zhao Feng waved his hands, and after everyone quieted down, Zhao Feng poured himself a cup full of wine and said: "I was once a top soldier of a special forces, and was sentenced to death for manslaughter. My superior knew that I was wronged, so he found me, and gave me a chance to freedom, and that was to bring Tang Zhan down!"
Zhao Feng laughed as he saw this, and raised his wine cup, and said:
Now that Tang Zhan is dead, my mission has been completed. I am a free man now, and have my own burdens, so I hope everyone can understand that in these few years, I have had a relationship with all of you. Ah Hu, Xiao Meng, San Lang, Xiao Ma ? Now that I'm free, I hope that you all will respect my choice. Today, this cup of wine will be considered as a toast to me, so let's drink a cup together, okay? "
When they heard his words, everyone slowly stood up. The expressions on their faces at Zhao Feng were different, but at the same time, their eyes revealed true emotions, so much so that the eyes of Ah Hu and the rest turned red.
Hearing these words, they became silent. The simple words revealed the hardships Zhao Feng had gone through, but no matter what, he had treated them as brothers, and that was enough.
Ah Hu's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his wine cup and shouted with all his might: "This goblet of wine, give it to our big brother Feng to carry out!"
"To the big brother Feng!"
"To the big brother Feng!"
"To the big brother Feng!"
Everyone shouted in unison and drank up the entire cup of wine.
Thank you brothers, thank you for understanding." Zhao Feng pursed his lips and smiled, then said: "Of course, I'm not saying that I need to leave everyone, I'm staying in the New Moon Bay, if there's a chance, I will get together with my brothers, so everyone should be happy today, and won't leave until you're drunk! "Heh!
"I won't leave until I'm drunk!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses and started drinking.
