142: Chapter 142: Realizing a Bit Too Late 142: Chapter 142: Realizing a Bit Too Late Long Wu was good-looking.
When Yan Bin had wiped out the Leopard, he had wanted to take her in.
However, Long Wu would rather die than submit.
Moreover, Yan Bin was also worried that Long Zaitian and the others would rise up in rebellion, so in the end, his wish remained unfulfilled, but he never gave up on the idea.
“Big Brother, how should we deal with this person?” At that moment, Long Zaitian walked up to Xiang Yu with respect.
Yan Bin was completely dumbfounded by this scene.
How come Long Zaitian was calling Xiang Yu “Big Brother”?
“What do you think we should do?” Xiang Yu said to Long Zaitian with a smile.
Long Zaitian was startled and said nothing, his meaning clear—he would follow Xiang Yu’s arrangements.
“Long Zaitian, you bastard, how have I ever wronged you?
All five brothers, you ate at my expense, stayed at my expense, and I looked after you all.
Yet you dare to betray me?” At this point, Yan Bin understood why there were so many of his brothers standing there, who had not laid a hand on Xiang Yu.
“You’re talking nonsense.
Everything we used, we earned ourselves.
You took your cut from it, and you still have the nerve to speak.
You killed the Leopard and forced us to follow you.
I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time,” Long Zaitian suddenly shouted out.
Two weeks ago, he had found out about the conflict between Xiang Yu and Yan Bin and had specifically investigated Xiang Yu.
He couldn’t find anything about Xiang Yu’s past, only what had happened since his arrival in the city.
He discovered Xiang Yu was decisive, righteous, and unquestionably loyal to his brothers.
He was ruthlessly unforgiving to his enemies.
His only fault was a bit of a lecherous streak, as he liked to carelessly throw peanut shells around.
But what man isn’t lecherous?
These were all minor matters, so they could be overlooked.
After much consideration, they finally decided to follow Xiang Yu.
What they hadn’t expected was to be rejected by Xiang Yu on the spot.
Eventually, Shi Jian came to them and explained his intentions.
Xiang Yu hadn’t rejected them; it was just not the right time.
He was afraid they would be exposed and killed by Yan Bin.
Finally, when the time was right, they coordinated with Shi Jian to quickly deal with Yan Bin’s men, leading to the scene that was unfolding today.
Hearing Long Zaitian mention Leopard, Yan Bin couldn’t help sneering, “Leopard was an idiot.
What good was it to follow him?
Since he joined this line of work, he should not have been soft-hearted.
He actually thought he was the embodiment of justice, dreaming.
He had a wife, pregnant with a big belly.
I screwed her to death on a bed.
Hearing this, Long Zaitian clenched his fists tightly, grinding his teeth in anger.
But Yan Bin was now defeated by Xiang Yu, and it was Xiang Yu’s place to deal with him.
Although Long Zaitian was furious, he didn’t do anything rash.
Seeing Long Zaitian , Xiang Yu nodded inwardly.
He stepped forward and kicked Yan Bin’s mouth askew so he could no longer speak.
At this moment, Sheng Wantao and a group of people standing in the distance finally understood what had happened.
It seemed the situation was under Xiang Yu’s control, and this Xiang Yu was not as simple as they thought.
Since Xiang Yu had controlled the scene, their group was not in much danger.
They let out a long sigh of relief, feeling fortunate, as if they had been granted a reprieve.
Just now, Sheng Wantao had hated Xiang Yu, but now he had already cast aside such thoughts.
He walked over with Wu Haotian and a group of people, standing to one side.
They saw Yan Bin lying there covered in blood but said nothing.
“Godfather, what do you think should be done with him now?” Xiang Yu asked, looking at Sheng Wantao.
Sheng Wantao just shook his head and sighed.
At this point, what else could be done?
If Sheng Wantao said to let him go, would Xiang Yu agree?
That would be openly opposing Xiang Yu.
“Since this was a gamble between the two of you, you should handle it.

Although they said that, after all they had been through with Yan Bin as brothers, when the moment of parting truly came, it was indeed a bit sentimental.
Facing the fear of death, Yan Bin completely collapsed.
Struggling to crawl up, he knelt in front of Sheng Wantao, bursting into loud sobs.
“Godfather, save me, I was wrong, I was wrong.
Back when we brothers were together, who would dare to bully us?
How could things have become now?
Yan Bin’s mouth was full of blood, and his words were slurred and hard to understand.
“Godfather, please beg Xiang Yu for mercy, let him spare me.
I am willing to be a horse or an ox and stay by your side, never trying to be a boss again.
I’ll hand over all my business to you, Godfather…”
Yan Bin’s wailing made Sheng Wantao and the brothers behind him very uncomfortable.
Sheng Wantao himself sighed, at that moment his heart softened, thinking that if what Yan Bin said was true, he could potentially spare his life and keep him around to talk to.
“Xiang Yu, maybe we could…”
Moved by Yan Bin’s pitiable state, Sheng Wantao wanted to plead with Xiang Yu, but before he could finish his sentence, Xiang Yu blew Yan Bin’s head off with a shot, splattering blood and staining Sheng Wantao’s clothes.
Sheng Wantao hastily stepped back.
“Godfather, what were you about to say?” Xiang Yu threw the gun to Tie Zhuzi, looking at Sheng Wantao with puzzlement.
Sheng Wantao shook his head, managing a wry smile.
“I was thinking, this kid Yan Bin can’t be left alive, keeping him would only be a disaster.”
Xiang Yu nodded earnestly.
“Godfather, your consideration is thorough as always.”
Long Zaitian, standing off to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been worried that Xiang Yu might take pity and spare Yan Bin.
No matter how pitiable Yan Bin seemed now, if they had let him go, he surely would have sought revenge.
Xiang Yu removed his coat and draped it over Yan Bin’s head, but the large hole in the back just happened to reveal Yan Bin’s head, which looked somewhat terrifying.
“Long Wu, don’t blame me, I’m a man who takes things seriously.
Since we made a bet and you lost, you have to accept defeat.
Rest assured, I’ll take over your properties and all the businesses you used to run; go in peace,” Xiang Yu said casually, as if chatting with a friend.
In truth, everyone around knew that Xiang Yu was making a point to Sheng Wantao and the rest.
With Yan Bin gone, even though he didn’t have much money, he had properties and some leftover business.
Xiang Yu was warning them that no one but he, Xiang Yu, would touch those things.
Those present, including Sheng Wantao, had long since lost their psychological defenses.
Whatever Xiang Yu said was law to them; they weren’t foolish enough to step up and demand property from Xiang Yu.
That would be suicide.
“Now that this matter is settled, we should head back, it’s late.
You all should rest early too,” Sheng Wantao tried to keep his voice calm, his heart racing with the fear that Xiang Yu and his men might decide to keep them there.
“Godfather, in such a hurry to leave?” Xiang Yu suddenly called out to them.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wantao’s heart skipped a beat.
Initially, they had all thought Xiang Yu was just a hotheaded youth, raised to take on Yan Bin.
Now that Yan Bin was dealt with, they realized that Xiang Yu was not as simple as they had imagined, and was even more terrifying than Yan Bin.
They had indeed invited the wolf into the house…
