After a brief silence, loud shouts erupted in the venue.

"What's the point of even considering this? Who wouldn't want money? If we rely on our own development, we'll never get such good conditions in our lifetime!"

"That's right. The conditions offered by the Martial Arts Association are so generous, we can't ignore morality!"

"I also think that we can agree to the Martial Arts Association..."

Liao Feifan's face lit up with joy.

It seems that I have underestimated the temptation of the casino to my brothers in the gang.

He was just about to speak and finalize the matter.

But Manlong reached out to stop him and gave him a look that told him to be patient.

"Alright, this concerns the future of the Guan Gong Association after all. I'll give you three days to go back and think it over carefully!"

"Three days later, we will hold another meeting to officially finalize this matter!"

"By that time, it's time to start selecting and appointing a new leader!"

After Manlong finished speaking, no one could refute him and left the venue in groups of three or five.

Before leaving, they were still having a heated discussion.

After most people had left, Liao Feifan asked with a frown.

"Master Long, what did you mean just now? This time, the brothers have shown unprecedented initiative in joining the Martial Arts Association."

"It only takes one sentence to finalize this matter!"

"Why did you insist on setting the time for three days from now? Aren't you afraid that the longer you wait, the more trouble you'll cause?"

Manlong chuckled.

"Why do you think everyone is so proactive about joining the Martial Arts Association this time?"

Liao Feifan responded as a matter of course: "Of course it's because the Martial Arts Association can bring us enough benefits! The conditions they offer are tempting enough!"

Manlong nodded. "That's right! One hundred and fifty billion in cash, plus two casinos, no one can resist this temptation!"

"Just now at the meeting, at least 80% of the brothers no longer object to joining the Martial Arts Association. Some are even eager to join sooner so they can reap the benefits."

"But you have to know that tempting them with benefits is not a long-term solution!"

"Those brothers who once opposed joining the Martial Arts Association are now being lured by benefits. How can you be sure that they won't be bribed by others for benefits in the future?"

Liao Feifan couldn't help but frown.

"Apart from the Martial Arts Association, who else could offer such generous conditions? Master Long, I think you're overthinking it!"

Barbarian Dragon sighed.

"Sitting in my position, is it okay to do things without careful consideration?"

"It's not that I think too much. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. I won't allow any accidents to happen in this matter."

"Let's not even talk about those brothers who are wavering and are simply being lured by the benefits. Besides them, there are probably about ten to twenty percent of people who still disagree, but they just don't have a reason to object at the moment!"

"After all, no matter how much they object, it's just about money, and the other brothers won't agree!"

"I have to be on guard against this group of people! I have to make them convinced!"

Liao Feifan frowned even deeper.

"It's not easy to be convinced! If this small group of diehards dare to cause trouble, the worst that can happen is that they will be eliminated directly!"

Manlong was helpless: "Clear it out? That's easy for you to say!"

"What if they incite the other brothers and cause some trouble? Can you handle it?"

"I told you, I won't allow any accidents to happen in this matter! I also don't want to leave a bad impression on the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Association!"

"This not only concerns the attitude of the Wushu Association towards you and me, but also the attitude of the Wushu Association towards the future development of the Guan Gong Association!"

Liao Feifan was a little anxious: "But..."

Manlong waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Don't say but! This matter is neither easy nor difficult!"

"Ye Yan has already prepared for us. Simply offering benefits is not enough. The Martial Arts Association needs to use both kindness and force!"

"We must make the brothers grateful to the Martial Arts Association, and at the same time make them fear the Martial Arts Association so that they dare not have any second thoughts!"

"If anyone still dares to cause trouble despite our combined efforts of kindness and force, then that will be the perfect time for us to take action and clean up the mess!"

Liao Feifan was lost in thought, muttering to himself.

"A combination of kindness and power?"

Soon after the meeting of Guan Gong Club ended, Lei Qiankun won over ordinary people.

These people are all diehards and have always disagreed with joining the martial arts association.

"We can't just stand by and watch the Barbarian Dragon take our brothers down a path of no return!"

"The Martial Arts Association belongs to all of us brothers, not just Manlong!"

"But now most of our brothers are blinded by the interests of the Martial Arts Association. Do we still have a chance?"

Lei Qiankun snorted coldly.

"Why is there no chance? Do you really think that Manlong and Liao Feifan are telling the truth?"

"I just don't believe that the Martial Arts Association is really that powerful and can control the situation on the entire Holy Island!"

"Don't forget, besides local forces and overseas capital, there are other forces on Holy Island!"

"I heard that Wang Wei and Yu Ke are backed by the sons of top-tier inland families! And they have the support of all the powerful families and hidden sects!"

"That is to say, what Manlong said before was probably nonsense, and he was completely fooling us!"
