Third Master Tiger had said that Hou Tong was not foolish, and indeed he was not.
Among the thirteen gang leaders of the Flying Eagle Gang, Hou Tong was not the most intelligent, but he was certainly not the dumbest either, otherwise, he wouldn't have been in his position until now.
His method of dealing with Su Xin was simple, in three words, downright shameless!
I openly suppress you with my status, what can you do?
This one hundred thousand taels of silver, if given by Su Xin, would definitely damage his reputation in the Flying Eagle Gang and leave an impression of being easily bullied.
Even if you, Su Xin, have taken over Yongle Square, wouldn't it still be at our mercy?
If he refused to give it, then Hou Tong would continue wreaking havoc in the Happy Forest.
Don't you, Su Xin, hold shares of the Happy Forest? Haven't you guaranteed that you can take care of Happy Forest? I'll turn Happy Forest upside down, what can you do?
