At this moment, within the ancient and elegant attic of the courtyard, more than ten people had gathered, including Baldy Liu and several other gang leaders from the districts and counties of Yang City. Pressured by Yang Qing of the Sanhe Gang, they had nowhere to turn and had come together tonight, hoping to unite and confront Yang Qing.
Two of them were particularly distinctive, one a burly man with only one ear—his other ear presumably chopped off by an enemy—and the other a slender man who, though clearly male, had a braid in his hair.
There were roughly six gang leaders like Baldy Liu, and the others were their invited assistants.
Of course, their greatest hope tonight rested on an old man seated at the head of the table.
He was none other than Liu Tianyuan, the head of the Dragon Martial Arts Hall, reputed to be the foremost expert of Yang City.
