Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

As soon as Fifth Master spoke, Prince Fu, standing beside him, immediately responded loudly:

"Please, young master!"

Prince Fu's voice seemed to have a special rhythm, which was quite pleasant to hear.

"Please, young master!"

People below kept chanting.

Each sound grew farther and farther away, until it reached the door.

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan was already waiting outside the door.

With the final sound, a guard standing outside the door announced:

"Please, young master!"

The door was then opened.

Meng Chuan stood alone outside the door.

Although he was alone, Meng Chuan exuded an aura of authority.

It is in no way inferior to the magnificent atmosphere of the scene.

Many people were looking curiously at the door.

When they saw Meng Chuan's face clearly, many people present were shocked.

Meng Chuan actually knew quite a few people at the scene.

Especially among wealthy families involved in finance, almost everyone knows Meng Chuan.

The youngest genius to win the Nobel Prize in Economics was nominated despite not meeting the usual criteria.

Although it's only a nomination at this point, and the awards haven't been officially presented yet.

If Meng Chuan wins the award, he can be directly deified.

No one expected that such a genius would be the young master of the Green Gang.

Elon was so shocked he couldn't stop laughing.

His biggest backer was actually the young master of the Green Gang.

Elon Ma has now achieved upward social mobility.

Therefore, he also knew that each major family would support a force behind the scenes that could protect their wealth.

He has been carefully considering which faction he should establish a relationship with!

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan was actually the young master of a top-tier power like the Green Gang.

Of course, besides shock, some people were also terrified.

For example, the Morgan family and the Kenlifen family have been targeting Meng Chuan in the Chinese stock market!

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the guard at the door demanded of Meng Chuan:

Why have you come here?

This question brought the guests back to reality.

Meng Chuan already knew these procedures by heart and answered loudly:

"I have come here to join the Green Gang in order to seek loyalty and righteousness."

The guard asked again:

"Where did you come from?"

Meng Chuan shouted:

“Coming from the East.”

The guard asked three questions:

What did you bring?

Meng Chuan loudly proclaimed:

"Bring loyalty and righteousness with you."

After asking the three questions, the guard took a step back, and Meng Chuan stepped forward.

When Meng Chuan arrived at the center of the hall, all eyes were on him.

A burly man suddenly stepped forward.

This person is none other than Zhan Yi, the leader of the Zhan Hall.

He was also Zhan Qi's immediate superior.

He is known as the number one person under the Dharma Protector.

Zhan Yi stood majestically before Meng Chuan:

"Since you've joined the Green Gang, do you know the origins of the Green Gang?"

Meng Chuan stood tall:

"I know. The Green Gang originated in the East, with the aim of upholding justice and the goal of strengthening the country and ensuring its stability."

Zhan Yi asked again:

"Now that you've joined my Green Gang, are you willing to abide by my gang rules?"

Meng Chuan replied sternly:

"I am willing to abide by the Thirty-Six Oaths and Seventy-Two Rules, and remain loyal to the end. If I violate them, may I be punished by gods and demons."

Three questions for the battle:

What proof do you have?

"With loyalty and righteousness as our witness, and with the gods as our witness."

Meng Chuan answered three times, Zhan Yi stepped back to the side, and Meng Chuan once again walked towards Fifth Master.

When Meng Chuan stood in front of Fifth Master and saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Today might be the last time he sees Fifth Master.

"it is good."

Fifth Master looked at Meng Chuan with great satisfaction, and with hundreds of eyes witnessing, he smiled and said:

"Those who enter my ranks and join my million followers shall be like brothers, sharing both good and bad fortune, and never betraying me."

"We obey Fifth Master's decree!"

Meng Chuan nodded.

Now, the real ceremony begins.

The first step is to "wash your hands and burn incense".

Two boys in green robes stepped forward carrying copper basins.

After washing his hands, Meng Chuan accepted the three sticks of incense offered by Prince Fu.

He walked to the incense burner behind Fifth Master and bowed once in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north.

Then insert the incense sticks into the burner.

The rising wisps of smoke symbolize reverence for heaven, earth, and ancestors.

Next came the "family reunion".

Fifth Master sat in the main seat, and Meng Chuan greeted Prince Fu, Prince Bi, and the various hall masters in turn, performing a half-kneeling salute.

Fifth Master handed Meng Chuan a thumb ring.

"Seeing this ring is like seeing me in person. I hope you will treat it well."

Meng Chuan had been wearing this thumb ring for quite some time.

But now it can be considered a true gift to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan took the item and put it on his hand.

Prince Fu stepped forward and personally handed Meng Chuan a jade plaque engraved with the character "Qing," saying in a deep voice:

"This is the Qing Order. I hope you will remember your duty and protect my gang."

Meng Chuan accepted it with both hands.

Then Bi Wang stepped forward and handed Meng Chuan an ancient-looking dagger, its blade gleaming coldly.

"This is the Green Blade. If anyone is dissatisfied, this blade can sever right from wrong."

This is followed by "admonition".

Fifth Master stood up, took out a roll of yellow silk from his bosom, and loudly read out the rules and his expectations for Meng Chuan.

With each line recited, the Green Gang disciples in the hall responded in unison, their voices rolling and their momentum overwhelming.

This was to establish authority and to announce to the world that Meng Chuan was now the rightful heir.

Finally, there is the "drinking of the oath wine".

The boy presented nine bronze wine cups. Fifth Master picked up the first cup, Meng Chuan picked up the second cup, followed by the left and right protectors and a group of hall masters.

Fifth Master raised his wine glass:

"From this day forward, Meng Chuan is the young master of my Green Gang. If he harbors any disloyalty, Heaven and Earth will not tolerate him! If he disobeys, he will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Everyone repeated the words once, and then they drank it all in one gulp.

Only then is the first stage of the ceremony complete.

The solemn and dignified atmosphere in the hall only eased slightly at this point.

However, these rules and traditions of the Green Gang still greatly shocked many of the guests present.

However, just as Prince Fu was preparing to announce the start of the second phase.

When hosting a banquet for guests, and when Fifth Master and Meng Chuan were to pour wine for each of the guests present.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" at the scene.

Many people were startled.

They all looked in the direction of the sound.

A bull, as strong as a calf, slammed its fist on the table and stood up.

He even smashed several cracks into the wooden table.

"Hmph! What's the point of all this fancy stuff?"

Bull, speaking broken Chinese, stared intently at Meng Chuan:

"As the young master of the Green Gang, how good are your martial arts skills? Do you dare to have a match with me?"

Although the Green Gang kept a low profile, it was widely recognized as the number one gang.

Despite its notorious reputation, the Mafia can only be ranked second.

The Bulls have long been dissatisfied with this second place.

However, his father, Godfather Curry, always kept him in check, preventing him from causing trouble for the Green Gang.

Now that he was here, and given that he had always admired strength and naturally looked down on weak people like Meng Chuan, he decided to stay.

He had already endured for a long time by the time the ceremony ended.

Just as many members of the Green Gang were glaring angrily, and Zhan Qi and others were about to curse at Bull.

Meng Chuan frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice:

"Today is a banquet for knowledge, not a discussion of martial arts. If Mr. Bull is in the mood, we can spar another day."

Meng Chuan didn't want any unnecessary complications; he needed to complete all the ceremonies as soon as possible.

Fifth Master didn't know how long he could hold out.

"Another day? I doubt you'd dare!"

Bull chuckled and walked to the center of the hall, looking at Meng Chuan with a mocking expression:

"Are all Easterners cowards, or are you, the young master of the Green Gang, too weak? You don't even dare to fight?"
