Dressed as a villain's sister, she became rich by relying on patriotism

Chapter 27: It's useless to just swing your fists

Zeng Ajiu was surprised to find that Ma Tian’s simple words seemed to be more effective than their fists. The thugs who came to provoke them were obviously scared!

"The rule of Water Street is that anyone with ability can come to Water Street to make a living. You can seek protection from a gang and pay money to the gang leader you worship. You can also choose not to pay money and not worship the gang leader."

Zeng Ajiu was a little surprised. It turned out that there was such a rule here. The reason why he refused to pay the money was because he felt that he was running a boxing gym. If a boxing gym could only survive by paying protection fees to others, then what was the point of running a boxing gym? He might as well go to the dock to carry heavy bags.

"The shop owner who doesn't worship the mountain must accept the challenge from anyone on Water Street. As long as he can hold on and not lose to anyone on Water Street, then no one can cause trouble to this shop in the future. However, this challenge will only last for seven days, and all grudges must be settled within these seven days. Am I right?"

Seven days? Zeng Ajiu counted the days from opening to today, and it has been more than four seven days, and they still come in waves.

The person on the other side was clearly in the wrong, and stood there not knowing how to respond. They all knew the rule, but it was too old-fashioned. Besides, after the formation of Water Street, the forces of all parties were so complicated, and every store relied on paying respects and protection fees to survive.

This boxing gym appeared out of nowhere, and the guys are tough and good at fighting. Even if someone still remembers this rule, no one wants to mention it. After all, this boxing gym is too strong. If they can take it into their gang, the gang's fighting power will soar. And these guys are obviously outsiders, they don't know the rules, and they are easy to fool. Everyone knows it in their hearts, and silently denies the rule.

"How long have you been away from Water Street? Why are you still talking about those old things?" A young gangster saw his boss being humiliated and hurriedly wanted to stand up for his boss, so he shouted out quickly.

"The Fourth Master and his men are old, but they are not dead yet. How dare you say such a thing?"

"You have no right to interrupt here."

The leader, the thug surnamed Zhao, raised his hand and slapped the boy who had just spoken. It was true that the Fourth Master and his gang had not been involved in the affairs of Water Street for a long time, but those who had been involved in Water Street with some experience knew that these old guys were just too lazy to care. When they were young, they fought and killed, and led their brothers to set rules for the entire Water Street. Although Water Street was outrageously chaotic, with prostitution, drug trafficking, murder and robbery, even the British Hong Kong government could not do anything about it, but if you still want to be in Water Street, you have to know that you can ignore the laws of the British Hong Kong government, but you must abide by the rules set by the Fourth Master and his gang, otherwise you will be dead on the street tomorrow.

"We were wrong." The leader weighed the matter over and over again and decided to admit his mistake. He was not afraid of Martin, but was afraid of the huge consequences of violating the rules of Water Street.

"Now that it has happened, there is no point in saying so much. Besides, we are friends who grew up together, and I can't push you into a desperate situation." Ma Tian stepped forward and put his arm around Xiao Zhao's shoulders, smiling brightly.

"This shop is newly opened. You have seen its strength. We will have to rely on you to take care of our business in the future. This time, we have to fight each other. I will trouble you brothers to go out and say hello to the other brothers on Water Street. Our boxing gym has survived for seven days. Please don't come to our house to spar with us anymore. We have to do business, right?"

Martin used a combination of soft and hard tactics and easily sent this group of people out of the store. And from what he said, it seemed that no one would come to cause trouble again in the future.

"Ajiu, is it resolved just like that?" The guys who had been fighting for more than a month were all stunned. They worked so hard every day swinging their fists, but it was not as lethal as a few words from others?

Zeng Ajiu looked at Ma Tian, ​​who was fighting fiercely with the gangsters outside, and finally felt that he was a little more pleasing to the eye, but he didn't dare to say anything final: "We'll know tomorrow."

"Boss, where did you find this guy? Even though he looks greasy and powdered, he's really quite capable." The guys in the store didn't know who the real boss was. They only knew that Zeng Ajiu was one of the bosses, so they naturally thought that he was the one who hired the guy.

Zeng Ajiu was not very good at lying, but he could not bring up Zhou Ting either, so he opened his mouth and said, "Just mind your own business, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

After sending the gang away, Martin returned to the gym. "No one should come to cause trouble tomorrow, so I can focus on my business."

"Thanks to you." Zeng Ajiu said concisely.

"Don't say that. If you guys hadn't made a name for yourself, there would be no point for me to come here."

I thought I could finally get off work peacefully that day, but unexpectedly, a black car parked in front of the boxing gym in the evening. When pedestrians on Shui Street saw the license plate, they all showed respectful expressions.

Two bodyguards got out of the car first, standing on both sides of the car, watching the passers-by vigilantly. Then an old man in his fifties got out, looking dignified. Sitting in the car was the legendary figure of Water Street, the Fourth Master!

The old man in his fifties walked into the gym and came out with Martin. Then the old man stood outside the car, and Martin opened the door and got in.

"Little ghost, long time no see!"

"Hello, Fourth Master!"

When he saw the Fourth Master, Ma Tian immediately became respectful and obedient, changing his usual glib tongue. The Fourth Master looked Ma Tian up and down and said with a smile, "I heard that you opened a boxing gym?"

"That's not mine. I just work for someone to make a living."

"Oh, you once swore to me that you would never return to Water Street. How much salary made you forget what you said?"

"I was young and ignorant before, please don't be offended." Ma Tian said this, but he is not yet twenty years old. The fourth master sighed.

"How's your dad doing lately?"

"He just hides in the studio all day, there's nothing good about him." Martin's tone was calm.

"Does he still carve?"

"He stopped carving after his right hand became disabled. Now he makes a living by carving seals with his left hand."

"What a pity." The fourth master thought of the works collected by his family, which might become out of print in the future, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Then he looked at the child in front of him. He was still so young, but he seemed to have lost the vigor and vitality of young people.

"I hope he can come out slowly."

"It's just like that, no different from the walking dead." Martin thought of his father and didn't know what to say. He couldn't blame his father for anything. After all, after going through all that, it was not easy for his father to choose to survive.

"I asked you to follow me before, and you said you wanted to leave Water Street. Now that you're back, would you like to reconsider it?" The Fourth Master rarely takes the initiative to invite others to join, and he asked twice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I still want to try my luck on my own."

The Fourth Master laughed out loud: "I know you look down on me!" The Fourth Master patted Ma Tian's shoulder hard.

Martin also laughed and did not deny it.

"I know everything that happened during this period. Shuijie will give your gym an explanation. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you very much, Fourth Master!"

"Okay, you little bastard, get out of here!"
