The Giant Whale's headquarters was located outside of Ning 'an City, at a bend in the river.
It would take less than an hour to board a ship from the east pier of Ning 'an City and sail down the river.
Zhou Fu stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the large cluster of buildings behind the pier. They were larger than a village, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Is this the Giant Whale's headquarters?"
The attendant noticed Zhou Fu's shock and explained proudly, "That's right. This is the Giant Whale's headquarters."
"How many people are there here?"
Zhou Fu couldn't help but ask as he looked at the endless buildings.
"How many people?
I don't know about that. Perhaps Elder Kong might know. "
"Elder Kong?"
"Yes, Elder Kong Yiu Tsung. He's in charge of the gang's internal affairs …" The attendant was about to say something else when he suddenly noticed a conspicuous carriage driving into the pier.
He pointed to the carriage and said, "Zhou Fawai, the carriage is here to pick you up. Let's get down quickly."
As soon as the group got off the ship, someone immediately invited Zhou Fu into the carriage, and they headed straight to the headquarters.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhou Fu's mind was in turmoil. How could the local authorities tolerate the existence of such a force?
According to his observations, the Giant Whale could easily assemble a group of people to rebel as long as it wanted to.
It was strange.
The carriage slowly moved forward and passed through a gate that was more than ten meters tall and dozens of meters wide.
Teams of men dressed in Giant Whale uniforms were patrolling the area. Occasionally, the sound of a group training could be heard in the air.
"What's the difference between this and a rebellion?
Are the local authorities so careless?!
Or do they not care about these people at all? "
In Heyang City, the local authorities had only sent out a powerful force during the Yin spirit uprising. Otherwise, the presence of the local authorities was very low.
"Zhou Fawai, we're here."
As soon as they got off the carriage, the coachman said, "Zhou Fawai, the gang leader and the others are in the main hall. Please go in. I'll take my leave."
As he looked at the main hall, Zhou Fu suddenly felt a little nervous.
"I really miss this feeling."
He grinned and walked in.
Shua!
More than ten pairs of eyes looked over.
In the hall, a young man in his thirties sat on the main seat facing the door. Under his blade-like eyebrows were a pair of deep eyes.
Seeing Zhou Fu walk in, the young man smiled and said, "This must be Zhou Fu, Brother Zhou, right?
Hahahaha!
I'm the leader of Giant Whale, Xing Gang!
Usually, you can call me Sect Master or Big Brother. "
This enthusiasm made Zhou Fu very uncomfortable. He clasped his hands together, revealing his strong muscles under his clothes, making his clothes tight.
"Greetings, Gang Leader Xing."
"Hahahaha!
Good man! "
Looking at Zhou Fu's figure, Xing Gang sighed. Then, he looked around and said, "Today, I invited everyone here to meet Brother Zhou so that we can work together in the future."
Everyone was silent. No one answered.
"Since Brother Zhou has joined our sect and Elder Wu is your guarantor, you can be an External Affairs Emissary for now. You will be in charge of the Ning An Elysium. In the future, when you make contributions, you can talk about your position."
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.
Especially Kong Yiu Tsung, who was sitting to the left of Xing Gang. He had a bitter smile on his face.
What was this man trying to do?
Was he trying to kill Zhou Fu?
Or was he trying to kill someone?
He looked at Xing Gang in confusion.
Xing Gang's expression was normal, but in his eyes, there was a dark light surging.
At this time, in the hall, there were a total of four elders, including Kong Yiu Tsung, and a Deputy Sect Master.
Giant Whale's Deputy Sect Master was called Shi Long. He was a man in his forties with a slender body and wore a lake-blue outfit.
"Sect Master Xing, this is a little inappropriate."
Shi Long said slowly.
"Oh?
What's inappropriate about it? "
Xing Gang smiled faintly and looked at Shi Long.
"Even if Zhou Fu was recommended by Elder Wu Jianye, he shouldn't be given the position of External Affairs Emissary, let alone be in charge of the Elysium."
At this point, Shi Long looked at Kong Yiu Tsung.
"Elder Kong, you are the sect's Internal Affairs Elder. You said that we should give the Elysium to a … a …"
Originally, Shi Long wanted to describe Zhou Fu as a "brat," but after looking at Zhou Fu's figure, he fell silent.
"Giving such an important place like the Elysium to someone who has just joined the sect, isn't it a little too childish?"
Kong Yiu Tsung said, "It's not Brother Zhou's first time in charge of a gambling den. I also believe in Sect Master's judgment. He will be able to do it."
"Oh?"
Shi Long's heart skipped a beat as he carefully sized up Zhou Fu.
How could someone who wasn't even 20 years old manage a gambling den?
What kind of family would do such a thing?
Could it be that this Zhou Fu had a strong background?
That couldn't be right. If he had a strong background, Wu Jianye wouldn't have written the letter.
Shi Long suddenly didn't understand. He had originally thought that this Zhou Fu was recommended by Xing Gang to make things difficult for him. After all, he was loyal to another member of the Xing Family and not Xing Gang.
At this moment, Xing Gang suddenly spoke. "Deputy Sect Master Shi, do you have any other questions?"
"I wouldn't dare. Sect Master is wise. Of course I believe in you."
Hearing Xing Gang's tone, Shi Long hurriedly lowered his head.
After Shi Long finished speaking, he waved his right hand slightly.
There were three young men standing behind Shi Long. They were all in their twenties.
These people were all carefully selected by him. The one with the highest cultivation level was already in the Bone Forging Realm and was considered an elite in the sect. They were the kind that could be promoted when there was a vacancy.
Seeing Shi Long's gesture, the young man in the Bone Forging Realm stepped out of the group and bowed to Xing Gang.
"Sect Master, I have something to say."
Seeing this person step out, Xing Gang's heart skipped a beat. He glared at Shi Long and cursed him in his heart. Then, he looked at the young man and said, "Speak."
"Sect Master, I don't care if Brother Zhou is in charge of the Elysium. However, I refuse to accept him as the External Affairs Emissary!"
The young man's expression gradually became agitated. "He just joined the sect and his cultivation level is still in the Spirit Training Realm. How can he be the External Affairs Emissary?"
Many people agreed with this statement.
"Yes, yes, why should he be?"
"Yes, his cultivation level is too low."
"Hmph, a Spirit Training Realm cultivator is the External Affairs Emissary?
Don't let him get killed by the other sects. Otherwise, our Giant Whale Sect will lose face. "
"Yes!
How can this kind of person be the External Affairs Emissary? "
"No, I object!"
"I object too!"
The situation gradually got out of hand.
Seeing this, the young man laughed in his heart. However, he still had a sad and indignant expression on his face.
"Impudent!"
An old man sitting on Xing Gang's lower right suddenly shouted angrily, shaking the young people in the hall to the point that their faces turned pale.
"This is a meeting hall, not a pier!"
The old man looked around. Every young man who met his eyes hurriedly turned their heads.
"If you dare to be so impudent again, the Giant Whale Sect will not forgive you!"
Shi Long said, "Elder of Law Enforcement, you're too serious. We …"
Without waiting for Shi Long to finish, Elder of Law Enforcement coldly snorted. "I have been in charge of the sect for twenty years and have never wronged anyone!
Nor will I let go of anyone who breaks the sect's rules! "
These words made Shi Long very uncomfortable. Although Elder of Law Enforcement didn't give him face, what he said was true. This made him even more uncomfortable.
He couldn't afford to offend Elder of Law Enforcement, so he chose to keep quiet.
Seeing Shi Long's setback, the hall quieted down.
"You refuse to accept it, right?"
Zhou Fu's voice suddenly sounded.
