Upon hearing Arman’s instructions, Gunbir dashed out in a hurry.


    Chinatown, while aplex microcosm, is ultimately not that vast. After spending a considerable amount of time here, everyone has be quite familiar with one another.


    True to its name, it’s simply a street—a vibrant thoroughfare filled with a significant poption of Chinese residents.


    The connections among the people in this area resemble those of neighbors. Despite the presence of a few unscrupulous, devious individuals, themunity generally looks out for one another.


    In the early days, Chinese immigrants faced bullying upon their arrival in the United States. To find safety and support, they banded together, creating a sense of unity. This environment led to the natural emergence of Chinese gangs.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Initially, the Chinese formed groups of strong youngborers to defend themselves against outside threats. As society evolved, professions became more specialized. Those who asionally united to protect fellow Chinese gradually began to see this effort as a formal upation, resulting in the establishment of the Chinese gang.


    Examining the history of Huabang reveals that from its inception, it has never been a typical gang that exploits the market or intimidates individuals.


    Chinese gangs differ significantly from many long-standing gangs in the United States, which often originated during the Prohibition era. These gangs primarily made money through illegal activities that defied government regtions. Over the course of more than a century, they have developed a mindset that the more the government tries to suppress them, the more they feelpelled to expand their operations.


    For instance, Huabang’s approach to collecting protection fees in Chinatown resembles an unofficial property fee structure. They gather contributions from each household and provide services in return, maintaining reasonable fees and attentive service.


    In contrast, gangs like the Burning Angel operate as outright extortionists, demanding money under the threat of violence.


    A robber’s sole aim is to extract money, offering to spare your life if youply. Should you refuse, they are likely to resort to violence.


    It’s unrealistic to expect that after a robbery, one could turn to the thief for assistance in watching over their property; the robber might very well target your home next.


    A few minutester, Gunbir returned with a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties.


    Upon entering and spotting Arman, the man eximed excitedly, “Brother Zhong, you’re back!”<fn4fc5> Th?s chapter is updated by fι?dnοvel</fn4fc5>


    This man was Ni Dawei, the leader of the Chinese gang in New York’s Chinatown.


    Noticing the thick bandage wrapped around Ni Dawei’s neck, Arman quickly inquired, “Dawei, what happened to your neck?”


    Ni Dawei sighed and replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. I got shot when I came home, and the bullet just grazed my neck. If I had been a bit less lucky, I would be reporting to the Lord of Hell right now.”


    As he spoke, he nced at the five unfortunate individuals huddled in the corner and asked in rm, “Ah Zhong, what on earth is going on here?”


    Arman then asked him, “Did Gunbir fill you in?”
