Chapter 552: Victory in the First Battle
The battle between Zhuang Jin and Ma Jieke displayed a one-sided situation from the very beginning. Even with a deadly weapon in hand, Ma Jieke was no match for Zhuang Jin’s bare hands. He was now at the end of his rope.
“Damn, who is that guy? I’ve never seen such a figure in Harrow!” Fei, at this moment, couldn’t take his eyes off Zhuang Jin. Seeing him hold his ground against Ma Jieke, a formidable fighter, left Fei utterly astonished.
“Boss, that guy seems to be the president of Pearl Commercial Chamber. I ran into a buddy last time I was in Stillwater, and he happened to be from Pearl Commercial Chamber,” one of Fei’s underlings resolved his confusion.
“Oh my god…” Suspicion dissipated, nearly causing Fei to spew out a mouthful of blood. Damn, did I really just go and threaten the big shots at Pearl Commercial Chamber earlier?
Fei was so shocked he could barely speak. However, a premonition arose within him, a feeling that Harrow was about to undergo some significant changes. The appearance of people from Pearl Commercial Chamber in Harrow was no simple matter. As a seasoned gangster, Fei had his own take on this.
“Ah!” Just as Fei was lost in his thoughts, a distant scream pierced the air.
Looking over, it was the wail from when Ma Jieke hit the ground. After Zhuang Jin knocked down Ma Jieke with a single punch, he disdainfully spat, “Tsk, this Persimmon Commercial’s big shot is nothing.”
Xiao Shun couldn’t help but laugh, “Haha, this big shot is far inferior to you as a president!”
“I’ve heard about this kid when I was in Stillwater. I wanted to test him when I came here, but who would have thought he’d be so weak!” Zhuang Jin said, sneering at the unconscious Ma Jieke.
Simultaneously, the other seven battles also came to an end. Pearl Commercial Chamber and Persimmon Commercial’s first battle concluded with a comprehensive victory for Pearl Commercial Chamber. Zhuang Jin and his seven companions successfully claimed their opening victory.
“That guy with the green hair… stop staring… come over here!” Xiao Shun pointed to Fei in the corner. His peculiar “forgiving color” flowing locks were just too eye-catching in the crowd, making it difficult to ignore.
“Bo… boss, I… I…” Walking over to Xiao Shun, Fei stuttered, failing to produce a complete sentence.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun patted him on the shoulder and said, “Kid, your unique hair color has caught my attention. Now, I have a tough task for you.”
Fei stared, bewildered, not knowing what tough task Xiao Shun had in mind.
“I want you to take these eight guys to Tan Haohan’s place and also deliver a message to him,” Xiao Shun continued.
Upon hearing this, Fei’s face turned ashen, hastily making up an excuse, “Oh, big bro, I just remembered I left the stove on at home. I need to go back!”
Xiao Shun, aware of the lad’s thoughts, chuckled, “You’re not being honest, kid.”
Fei knew he couldn’t escape this time. Looking at Ma Jieke and the others lying in disarray on the ground, he felt helpless. What a mess!
Seeing Fei’s lack of resistance, Xiao Shun wore a strange smile and said, “Kid, you seem pretty happy collecting protection fees every day. You must be doing quite a bit of this kind of thing normally. Why not follow this brother next to me? I guarantee you’ll make something of yourself under his guidance.”
Saying this, Xiao Shun pulled Zhuang Jin over and began introducing him to Fei. He was just too impressed with the lad with the green hair, and such a singular presence needed some nurturing, especially since Xiao Shun had already decided to get rid of the unreliable partner, Sha Hai, and now needed to find a local force in Harrow to help overthrow Persimmon Commercial.
With his head full of “forgiving color” hair, Fei undoubtedly was an excellent candidate to lead the way.
Having cooperated with Zhuang Jin and Xiao Shun for some time, Fei had already seen through their intentions. At this moment, they both could see from each other’s eyes that Fei was willing to join Pearl Commercial Chamber.

Little Fei’s heart was overjoyed at this moment. Joining a guild was the ultimate goal for all gangsters. Even for a leader like himself, who had his own people, joining a guild was still an honor. Though Pearl Commercial Chamberwas a force from Stillwater, it didn’t change Little Fei’s current sense of delight.
As long as one had strength, distance was not that much of an issue, right? Without crossing the river, how could one become a dragon? Pearl Commercial Chamber’s arrival in Harrow clearly signaled their intention to seize territory. Damn it, whether I can make a fortune and gain fame all depends on this one time!
With determination, Little Fei no longer considered the possibility of Pearl Commercial Chamber failing and leaving Harrow. Afterward, he and his men loaded Ma Jieke and the others onto a Jinbei van and drove towards the city center.
Inside the van, Huangmao looked at Little Fei with some concern, “Boss, are we really members of Pearl Commercial Chamber now?”
Little Fei chuckled, “What’s wrong? Your expression doesn’t seem right.”
“After all, this is Harrow. Although Pearl Commercial Chamber is strong, there’s no guarantee they can defeat Persimmon Commercial. If they end up failing, we’re done for!” Huangmao’s face was bitter, a reasonable worry given their current lack of knowledge about Xiao Shun and the others’ strength.
“Look at you, so lacking in spirit!” Little Fei glanced at Huangmao, then continued, “I’m gambling right now, betting that Pearl Commercial Chamber will ultimately win. If I bet right, we brothers will make a fortune. If we lose, no big deal. We can just go to Stillwater and join Pearl Commercial Chamber.”
Hearing this, Huangmao sincerely praised, “Boss, you really are the boss. You’ve planned everything ahead!”
