Because I have this strength!
That's why I can act recklessly in front of the Elder, why I can enter without even glancing at the White-Haired Elder, and why I can casually throw a teacup, causing the six trusted bodyguards beside you to panic.
It's simple. The reason Jufeng does this is truly straightforward. In the vast land of China, the Underworld is more than just numerous; Jufeng has grown from a mere character to a generation's Underworld Young Master, swimming upstream through countless challenges. Certainly, luck plays a part—what some call fate—but most importantly, it is strength!
Jufeng has consistently demonstrated astonishing power! From narrowly escaping death five meters away, to being shot, to falling into the clutches of terrorists, and now about to confront a world-class gang, Jufeng has grown through bloodshed and danger, relying on his ever-advancing strength!
But does strength come from nowhere? When you are in the hospital, waiting by the window, watching Jufeng on the brink of death, knowing that if he doesn't wake up within twenty-four hours, he will forever bid farewell to this colorful world—you will understand that it is all earned through struggle.
There is no free lunch in this world; you reap what you sow. This saying may have its limitations because for some gifted individuals—those one percent who can achieve twofold rewards for their efforts—it may not apply.
However, ultimately, what matters most is still hard work.
Those more gifted than you are working even harder; that’s why Jufeng sits here with such audacity.
"Elder Bi, you have been hiding behind the scenes for too long. Do you think this world remains unchanged? The streets are filled with hardworking young people; there’s no reason your words should cause our hard-earned foundation to crumble."
"So, I can stand before you with confidence because your attitude is truly contemptible!"
The six subordinates of Jufeng, forced into a corner by his single act of strength, flushed with embarrassment from their earlier mistakes, glared at him furiously. Especially when Jufeng directed his words straight at Pizza Hut; they suddenly felt that the young man before them looked down on them.
They wanted to strike back, but Pizza Hut remained quietly seated, observing the scene without speaking. This left them frustrated and angry!
"Are you all very angry?"
Pizza Hut did not engage in conversation with Jufeng, but calmly directed his words towards the six young people behind him. They were the hopes of the Hua Gang Elder Council, which is why Pizza Hut paid little attention to Lin Cheng and Wu Li.
Upon hearing this, the six young people instinctively shot fiery glares at Jufeng. No one spoke up in response, but the answer was obvious.
Pizza Hut slowly pulled a faint smile at the corners of his wrinkled mouth. He was neither angered by Jufeng's words and actions nor embarrassed by the shortcomings of his subordinates. He simply gazed at Jufeng and said kindly, "You should not be angry!"
"Have you ever had friends captured and been forced to give up your right to live?"
"Have you ever been surrounded in your own home by dozens of guns?"
"Have you faced the attacks of the Three Hundred United Alliance and Buddha, yet held on until the last moment?"
"No, you have not experienced any of these. Therefore, you have no reason to feel anger. The man before you has gone through all this and persevered, reaching a height that you can only aspire to. What is there to be angry about when you fail against him on your first attempt?"
Pizza Hut's calm voice echoed in the resplendent room. The six subordinates felt a jolt in their hearts, understanding the reason for the elder's admonition, and soon found peace within themselves.
There is an ancient saying in Huaguo: Meditation breeds wisdom. The Hua Gang Elder Council had always believed in this teaching, often keeping it in mind. However, they did not expect that upon meeting, this young man before them would shatter their calm.
Situ Yu observed from the side and felt a heaviness in his heart upon hearing this. He tightened his grip on his teacup, causing a slight sweat to form from the pressure.
Jufeng rarely restrained his reckless demeanor; now he looked at Pizza Hut with softened eyes. He suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "It seems Elder Bi truly lives up to being the elder of Hua Gang; with just a few words, he can bring peace to his subordinates' minds. There is indeed a difference between him and those elderly folks practicing Tai Chi in the park."
"However, what can we do about it! We've seen our noodles, and from now on, I will definitely take good care of you. Rain, it seems that when your sister can escape from this sea of suffering, it will truly be a heavy responsibility ahead!"
Situ Yu sighed lightly, feeling somewhat despondent, but then he rallied his spirits and said, "Don't worry, Feng Shao will give me a chance."
Jufeng nodded, sensing that the atmosphere at the banquet had become a bit dull. Since his teacup had been cleared, he stood up and turned to leave.
Throughout the entire time, Pizza Hut and Jufeng had not exchanged a single word; they simply watched with kind eyes until his figure disappeared.
Not long after Jufeng left, Situ Yu also exited the room. In a corner beside the luxurious hotel, two young men of significant weight in Huaguo Underworld were meeting.
Situ Yu slowly walked in and saw Fengyun Young Master leaning against the damp wall. He smiled and said, "So, Pizza Hut didn't disappoint you, right?"
In the darkness, Jufeng's expression was hard to discern. His aura was completely different from that in the lavish hotel; he had shed his arrogant facade, revealing the most authentic world within him.
"It indeed exceeded my expectations. Among those old-timers, he is one who has truly refined himself. You face danger with him; I think it's best not to rush in for now."
Despite being dissatisfied with Jufeng's tone and attitude, Situ Yu found himself at a loss for how to refute him because he was quite right; Situ Yu had a clear understanding of his own capabilities.
"What are your plans?"
As of now, Pizza Hut had only managed to gain control over Hua Gang without demonstrating his abilities to Huaguo Underworld. Being the leader of an elder council of one of the oldest gangs meant that his strength was far from just a hollow reputation; when put into action during combat, it would be extremely formidable.
Jufeng sensed this and advised Situ Yu not to rush in. But after deciding not to rush in, what plans did they have?
Jufeng paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I will be going to England soon, so as long as the Underworld in Huaguo maintains the status quo, it will be fine."
Situ Yu nodded slightly at his words. The best he could do was to hold back the main forces of Hua Gang. If Pizza Hut made any sudden moves, the Underworld in Huaguo would likely fall into chaos.
Jufeng lifted his head and glanced at the silent night and the quiet world, lost in thought.
He still needed to think of ways to keep Pizza Hut occupied. Only by diverting their attention could he feel at ease.
Sometimes Jufeng couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for excitement; he was always searching for enemies, not just domestically but now extending his reach internationally.
England truly was an alluring country. He wondered if his involvement would stir up a significant uproar there!
