[QUOTE="John E Smoke, post: 1320094, member: 16129"] The streets of Hong Kong have been turning deadly lately. Rumors persist that an all-out gang war is brewing, and the Tongs and Triads are certainly stepping up their operations. Several street gangs seem to be consolidating. Those who aren't are dropping like flies, the most recent casualty being the Poison Thorns, wiped out to a man by an unknown group. To top it all off, several Yakuza groups have increased their activity; many believe they are swooping in like vultures, perhaps to provoke the impending street war, and presumably planning to descend and pick off what remains. Whatever the truth, nobody is conducting business as usual... --- [b]Golden Flower Bar Wanchai District, Hong Kong 10:00 PM[/b] The Golden Flower Bar wasn't especially busy, but drew a decent crowd tonight nonetheless. Its laid-back atmosphere was a nice change of pace from the crowded city of Hong Kong, and despite the noise of conversations and the loud jukebox playing a chinese reggae song, the place was quite relaxing. Ji Jiao Mao couldn't help but smile despite his nervousness. He had just won yet another game of mah jong against Mark "Steel Body" Huan, a man rumored to be a very important member of the Han Bao Triad. The fact that he was attended by apparently armed and most likely dangerous men supported this. "Ha! Looks like you got me again, huh?
