Starry Sea Traversal had been traversed back and forth by Jufeng many times, and he was now quite familiar with the route. The leisurely feelings he once had during his first journey had long since faded, and all that occupied his mind were his brothers and sisters back on Earth.
Time flew by swiftly; mere days passed like fleeting shadows. After returning from the smoke and fire of the front lines to the tumultuous Earth, Jufeng did not pause for a moment.
The spacecraft arrived on Earth and underwent inspection at the periphery. The procedures were no different from before, as the peace that had lasted for hundreds of years made inspections somewhat perfunctory.
Perhaps it was precisely this loophole that allowed Terrorist to build the Arms Factory in this contradictory realm of danger and safety. Now, what lay before him was a tangled mess; the affairs of the organization were precarious, yet matters concerning Terrorist could not be delayed.
Fortunately, Chen Tan Hua and Hua Cheng had accompanied him to Earth. With their assistance, everything would become a bit easier. As he grew older, the team surrounding Jufeng also expanded, and naturally, the responsibilities on his shoulders grew heavier.
In the world of intrigue, loyalty was paramount; however, sometimes interests could shatter this crucial factor, as exemplified by Hua Gang.
After passing inspection, the spacecraft made its way to Huaguo, with Spring City serving as the transfer station once again. However, upon arriving in Spring City, Jufeng chose not to return to Northeast in a concealed manner but instead announced his return in a surprising fashion.
That day, Jufeng settled in Spring City, making a grand spectacle of it—undoubtedly declaring to all of Huaguo:
—I, Jufeng, Underworld Young Master, have returned!
News of Jufeng ’s arrival in Spring City spread rapidly throughout Huaguo, creating a stir in the entire Underworld. Reactions varied widely among different factions, but everyone knew that the hurricane had been suppressed by three gangs; now was the time for retaliation!
Surrounded by enemies, Jufeng naturally would not risk leaving unrelated individuals by his side. Second Sister, along with Vera and Sisi, returned to Washing City under the escort of Bill. The former had no ties to the Underworld, while the latter was reorganizing forces to provide support whenever needed.
Upon returning to Washing City, Bill’s first task was to cast a wide net for the Hidden Hall. He would not engage in unprepared battles; keeping vigilant eyes open would yield the greatest rewards.
The others remained with Jufeng in Spring City, preparing to face incoming threats.
On the first night after arriving in Spring City, it was midsummer. The windows were wide open, and evening stars twinkled brightly. The streets were filled with men and women struggling against the sultry heat, dining and laughing boisterously.
Jufeng stood by the window of Senior Management, his back straight as a spear beside Tong Bailong. On the other side of the room were Chen Tan Hua and Hua Cheng; the former appeared relaxed as if on vacation, while the latter maintained a demeanor befitting a soldier.
On a large bed in the inner room, Chuyang was engrossed in watching an animated series, with a young man holding a sword standing by the bedside.
Before long, Zhu Yao entered from outside. After more than two months of nurturing, her injuries had completely healed, and she had made significant progress in martial arts, using the Lunar Blade with even greater finesse.
She wore a form-fitting dark blue outfit, and perhaps due to her slightly older age, her figure had become even more alluring. A group of military men couldn't help but linger their gazes on her for a moment longer.
"The first batch has arrived; it seems to be from the Unification Alliance. My adoptive father probably won't arrive until late at night."
Her words were concise and to the point. Ever since her wounds had been bandaged, no one had been able to touch her body again, not even Brother Jufeng, with whom she once shared a close bond. All interactions had returned to their initial coldness, adding a hint of chill to the women's realm.
Jufeng remained silent for a while before murmuring, "I'm staying at Mu Zhongde's hotel, and he only just came to host me. Isn't that a bit neglectful?"
"If he neglects me, I can't just ignore him," Zhu Yao replied.
Jufeng's words trailed off, leaving everyone present unsure of how he intended to handle the current situation.
"Brother Flowering Talent, I suppose this is the only time I can show my face. I think a meeting gift shouldn't be too shabby; it will be troublesome for you," Jufeng added.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yao glanced at the young man with a perpetual smile at the corner of his mouth. Chen Tan Hua naturally noticed Zhu Yao's gaze but maintained his smile as he responded to Jufeng's comment. "I dislike bosses like you who exploit their employees' remaining value so harshly. I just got here, and you're already not letting go of an opportunity."
Jufeng turned around and chuckled, "Not at all; those capable should do more."
In truth, Jufeng had his own considerations. Chen Tan Hua was meant to investigate the Arms Factory matter and couldn't be tied down by gang affairs for long. However, such formidable combat power would be a waste not to utilize unexpectedly. When they eventually engaged in battle, Mu Zhongde would inevitably factor this combat power into his calculations, which could lead to constraints on their side and ultimately benefit them.
Chen Tan Hua shrugged, knowing that Jufeng always had the upper hand in conversation. He resigned himself to it.
Standing up straight and stretching his limbs, Chen Tan Hua's last words before leaving were, "If I can't handle it, you all better save me."
With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut, amplified by the night wind, and the room fell into silence once more.
Inside, Chuyang was intently focused on the television screen when a sudden sound jolted her back to reality.
Turning her head, she noticed Liu Xing was even more engrossed than she was. Chuyang immediately reached out and tugged at Liu Xing's ear, scolding, "The enemy is at the gates, and you're still watching TV!"
After a moment, Chuyang finally released her grip. Liu Xing rubbed his sore ear and muttered, "They're just ordinary people; they're easy to deal with. That big brother who went out is really strong; there's no need to worry."
Chuyang wasn't actually worried; she just found Liu Xing's furrowed brow as he watched the animated show amusing and wanted to tease him a bit.
"Did you understand it?" Chuyang asked casually.
Liu Xing instantly drooped his head as if Chuyang had hit a sore spot. He replied dejectedly, "No—"
This earned him a hearty laugh from Chuyang.
Not long after Chen Tan Hua left, he returned again. Having learned from his earlier experience, he closed the door much more quietly this time.
Zhu Yao silently calculated the time and then looked at Chen Tan Hua with a newfound respect in her eyes.
Chen Tan Hua appeared almost unchanged from when he left, except for some bloodstains on his collar that slightly displeased him.
He complained, "The blood of the Earthling is really stubborn; no matter how much I wipe, it won't come off. As your Boss, I'm going to have to pay for a change of clothes..."
Jufeng chuckled and said, "Naturally, it will all be on my tab."
Chen Tan Hua felt satisfied with the assurance and returned Zhu Yao a smile before leisurely heading back to his previous spot.
At that moment, a sound suddenly echoed in the room, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Although Hua Cheng and the others tried to hold it in, they ultimately couldn't maintain their composure.
"Gurgle~~"
Tong Bailong's stomach betrayed him again, seemingly aware that a big consumption was about to happen and preemptively preparing for it. The big guy felt a bit embarrassed.
Jufeng smiled and said, "Tong Bailong, why don't you call for some food? Tonight, we won't be able to sleep."
