East City District.
Inside the East City Government Office.
East City Bureau Captain Yu Xiujiang, Minister Chen Song, Constable Zheng Wang, Chairman Shen Yizhi of the East City District's Ronghua Association, and Vice Sect Leader Zhou Yin of the Qingcha Sect were all gathered in one room.
The dozen or so people in the room were all renowned figures in the East City District, either gang leaders or patriarchs of powerful families.
To put it bluntly, if everyone in this room were killed, the East City District would immediately fall into chaos.
"Yu Sima, you rushed to gather all of us here. Surely it wasn't just so we could watch you space out."
The speaker was Liu Peng, Gang Leader of the East City District's Beggar's Gang.
The Beggar's Gang—the "beggar" in their name was a misnomer. They were in the pleasure trade.
They controlled more than half of the brothels in the East City District.
