The man speaking was Xu Hongcai, one of the Tiger King's most trusted subordinates. The day the Tiger King died, Xu wasn't at the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena and narrowly escaped with his life. Gathering the Tiger King's former subordinates, he became a force to be reckoned with, now controlling a fifth of the Fierce Tiger Gang's territory, making him the most powerful person in the gang after Pi Junchao.
Besides, the people he gathered were all fighters handpicked by the Tiger King, each with exceptional fighting skills, giving him the capacity to challenge Pi Junchao.
Xu Hongcai had taken an immediate disliking to Ye Qing from the moment he walked in, giving him dirty looks. This was because he was convinced that Ye Qing had colluded with Poisonous Mantis to kill the Tiger King. Lacking the strength to take revenge on Poisonous Mantis himself, he nonetheless wanted to kill Ye Qing, to avenge the Tiger King, if only in part.
