The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 352

If the Northern Hongmen charges protection money to large companies, then the Northern Hongmen must be the richest gang in the world.

However, the Northern Hongmen is not classified as a gang but as a patriotic organization. Their goal is to safeguard the prosperity of China, not to focus on trivial matters such as collecting protection fees.

"Could it be the Southern Hongmen?" Ma Yunteng guessed.

“Even more impossible.” Chen Tianpeng looked at him and said with absolute certainty, “The Southern Hongmen is now extremely wealthy because of its collusion with overseas forces, and they don’t care about protection fees at all.”

Ma Yunteng raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this was strange. They were neither from the Northern Hongmen nor the Southern Hongmen, but the other party claimed to be a member of the Hongmen and was highly skilled. The security guards of Kailu were all former special forces soldiers, yet they were easily defeated by the five people who claimed to be from the Hongmen.

Besides the Hongmen, who else has such strength?

If you're not a member of the Hongmen, why are you using their name?

Ma Yunteng turned around and looked at the elders. Although Ma Yunteng had erased their memories, the elders still held a deep fear of him in their souls, and they all supported Ma Yunteng as the leader of the Northern Hongmen.

"Have you guys been doing something behind my back?!" Chen Tianpeng turned around and shouted sternly!

Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances, remaining silent.

However, Ma Yunteng clearly noticed that one of the elders had cold sweat glistening on his forehead.

"Alright, whether it is true or not, everyone come with me!" Ma Yunteng said calmly. This was the first time he had given orders to the elders since becoming the eldest brother.

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, including Chen Tianpeng and Su Li, and quickly followed Ma Yunteng towards the door.

"Damn it, if it really was done by the Northern Hongmen, this is a bit ridiculous..." Ma Yunteng thought to himself. He had just become the leader of the Northern Hongmen, and now his company was about to be smashed by the Hongmen.

Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

Meanwhile, at the Calorie Headquarters.

"Well, have you thought it through? Will you pay or not?" The leader of the men in black sneered as he looked at Zhao Peng and shouted threateningly.

They had already found out that the second-in-command of the Calorie Group was this man called General Manager Zhao. He was the most stubborn one. The other executives had all yielded because of their power, but Zhao Peng was still insisting on not paying protection money. Moreover, he even jokingly made a phone call to the boss in front of them, as if they were all afraid of the Calorie Group's boss.

“If you dare to do anything reckless again, I’ll call the police,” Zhao Peng threatened.

"Call the police?" The man chuckled. "As far as I know, all the security guards at Calorie are former special forces soldiers. We've taken out over fifty of those special forces soldiers. You think a few police officers can scare us?"

The man paused for a moment and then said, "You have ten minutes left. If you don't pay, we'll smash this place up."

After saying that, he waved to his four black-clad companions behind him. The five of them sat on the sofa, crossed their legs, and brazenly let their eyes wander over the voluptuous women.

"Mr. Zhao, what should we do?" a senior executive asked Zhao Peng in a low voice.

"How long will it take for Brother Teng to come back?" a female executive asked worriedly.

"Calling the police won't help in this situation; we can only wait for Brother Teng to come back."

"Wow, how can there be such powerful people? These people are much more powerful than the monks of Wudang Mountain."

"Just wait! The boss just sent a WeChat message, he should be here soon!" Zhao Peng said reassuringly.

To be honest, each of these high-ranking executives is exceptionally capable, but that capability is limited to their work. When faced with real combat situations, they are all terrified.

Especially the female executives, some of them were so frightened they cried.

Ma Yunteng became their only savior.

Everyone kept looking downstairs.

"Brother Teng is here!"

Suddenly, an executive shouted loudly.

Several executives squeezed to the window and saw Ma Yunteng getting out of the car and walking towards the headquarters. Strangely, Ma Yunteng was followed by five elderly men in Taoist robes. Their steps were steady, giving them the feeling of Tai Chi masters.

"No one can change anything!"

The man in black laughed and said, "No matter who comes, I will beat them to their knees and call me grandpa! Let me tell you the truth, we are all Foundation Establishment stage experts from the Northern Hongmen! You people are all ants in my eyes! If you don't pay up, the five of us will raze this place to the ground today."

Several executives couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this.

Even the special forces soldiers lying on the ground couldn't help but shiver.

"Brother Teng!"

Seeing Ma Yunteng walk into the office, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the boss was back, everything was easier to talk about. It was just protection money, right? Just pay it, the boss had plenty of money anyway!

Ma Yunteng smiled slightly and glanced at the five men in black out of the corner of his eye. Judging from their clothes and aura, they looked very much like members of the Hongmen!

Ma Yunteng walked past the five men in black without even glancing at them. Instead, he waved to the executives and calmly lit a bottle of Double Happiness lipstick, saying, "President Zhao, please stay. Everyone else, please leave."

"Huh? You're the boss?" The man felt ignored and was immediately annoyed. He stood up abruptly and shouted at Ma Yunteng, "Kid, money or life, you choose one. The brothers can't have worked for nothing!"

"Are you from the Hongmen?" Ma Yunteng turned around and asked him with a mocking smile.

"That's right, I'm from the Hongmen, specializing in protecting big companies like yours. We don't even look at those small companies, we only target big companies like yours. Kid, you need to know that money is important, but you need to be alive to spend it. Our Northern Hongmen specializes in protecting big companies like yours. As long as you're willing to pay, I guarantee no one will dare to cause trouble for your company."

"Hey ha!"

As he spoke, the man even demonstrated Tai Chi in front of Ma Yunteng to convince him of his abilities.

"What a coincidence, I'm also from the Hongmen." Ma Yunteng clicked his tongue and looked at him with sympathy.

"You're also from the Hongmen?" The man paused slightly, then asked in surprise, "Which Hongmen are you from?"
