Jufeng asked one last question: "How?" Meizi thought to herself, what could there possibly be to discuss? Who wouldn't want such a good deal in the world?
What was originally a transaction that would cost them eight hundred turned into a situation where they wouldn't lose anything yet could still gain money, according to Jufeng. Although Meizi wasn't great at math, she could easily understand this clear-cut deal. Wasn't this equivalent to Jufeng giving away money for free?
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; not even a slightly cheaper breakfast exists. Meizi understood this simple truth, which made her puzzled about Jufeng's thoughts.
"It doesn't make sense for us to take advantage of this. This is a transaction, and we are all law-abiding citizens. Fairness and justice are paramount in our dealings; we can't proceed like this."
Meizi continued eating her food, calmly rejecting Jufeng's proposal. In all the time she had known him, it was the first time she had seen him so resolute.
Jufeng smiled and said, "My rules are the fairest. If I am going to absorb that eight hundred loss for you, I have my reasons. I'm not a philanthropist; I wouldn't let you benefit without a cost."
"I want to severely injure Pizza Hut, but you cannot be heavily harmed. You need to maintain at least eighty percent of your strength, and then we can proceed with another deal—before my Pacification of Huaguo, you will temporarily serve as offerings to the hurricane. I need you to help protect the Senior Management of the hurricane from harm; that's all."
Upon hearing Jufeng clarify his intentions, Meizi understood what he meant. If Pizza Hut was injured but not destroyed, they would certainly retaliate fiercely. Hua Gang had deeper roots than the Unification Alliance and the United Heart Association, so their revenge would be incredibly ruthless, potentially leading to mutual destruction. Without some capable individuals in place during that anticipated storm, it would be difficult for the hurricane to remain unscathed.
However, Meizi still had some doubts and asked, "What about you? Don't you have your own elite team? Aren't you confident in protecting yourself? You don't seem like someone who would rely on others."
Jufeng suddenly smiled mysteriously, his expression lighting up the entire table. He cryptically replied, "I have my own uses; there are others I need to protect even more!"
Jufeng only spoke halfway, and seeing that he had no intention of continuing, Meizi decided not to press further. Since he had explained himself thoroughly, she truly had no reason to refuse. Besides, she was naturally pleased at the prospect of severely injuring an old man she disliked.
Meanwhile, Ikeda Masahiro sat nearby deep in thought, recalling Jufeng's unusual behavior after waking up that morning and sensing a faint hint of something amiss.
...
With the plan set in stone, Jufeng contacted Chang Guohong and ordered the Azure Wind Antelope to mobilize completely; meanwhile, Meizi awaited Niu's return and Jufeng's confirmation.
Three days later, Jufeng seamlessly deployed the Azure Wind Antelope in Feng Cheng—the location where Pizza Hut was based. To maximize benefits, he meticulously orchestrated an attack on Hua Gang's mid-level members while Pizza Hut focused solely on racing against Jufeng without noticing the impending danger.
This crisis created by Meizi and Niu's appearance caught everyone off guard; even Shi Yushu, the president of the United Heart Association, was unaware that his support had already left him. Let alone Hua Gang, which had no connection whatsoever.
Of course, perhaps after tonight, both sides will become "intimate" "partners."
The Azure Wind Antelope has undergone a long period of training, with three batches of junior trainees, two batches of intermediate trainees, and one batch of advanced trainees. The total number has exceeded five hundred. If the Azure Wind Antelope had the current scale during the confrontation with the Unification Alliance's Three Hundred Buddhas, there would have been no need for Jufeng to be injured; everything would have resolved itself naturally.
One hundred intermediate trainees from the Azure Wind Antelope were dispatched, led by Tong Bailong and Zhu Yao. Instead of going to Feng Cheng, they headed to Hang City, with Jufeng at the forefront.
Additionally, three hundred elite members of the Azure Wind Antelope, under Chang Guohong's leadership, followed Mei Zi and Niu into battle at Feng Cheng.
Jufeng's strategic objectives sometimes seemed perplexing even to himself; they were spontaneous and whimsical, leading to actions that caught the enemy off guard. At first, even Chang Guohong struggled to keep up with the pace.
However, today was different from the past. The Azure Wind Antelope was no longer a chick just hatching from its shell but a fledgling eagle. The fledgling spreads its wings for broader skies, so when Chang Guohong stood before two young individuals whose strength far surpassed his own, he felt no sense of inferiority.
Because he was the mother of this fledgling eagle.
Sensing the aura in the darkness, Niu's face showed surprise. He had not imagined that Jufeng possessed such terrifying power. He couldn't understand why, if he had such formidable strength, Jufeng still chose to spend money to collaborate with them.
"Don't think too much about it, silly bull! Actually, I've figured it out long ago— Jufeng is just like us; he acts based on his preferences. To put it simply, he agreed to work with us because he likes me," Mei Zi said.
Mei Zi had changed into an outfit—a Daoist robe that was rare to find in the market. Niu wore something similar but with slightly different patterns.
Listening to Mei Zi's explanation, Niu couldn't help but feel helpless. The first part might have some truth to it, but as for the latter part, he had no idea where that thought came from.
Niu muttered softly, "With such a beautiful and intelligent girl by his side, it's strange that he would like you; it must be me."
"What did you say!"
Mei Zi suddenly leaned in closer, glaring at Niu with a fierce tone.
Niu was startled by her words and quickly changed the subject: "Nothing! Nothing! I'm just saying we need to prepare for battle soon."
"Hmph!" Mei Zi snorted coldly and then drew out a long sword from behind her. The scabbard was ancient yet elegant; in the night, it resembled a phoenix resting on a Paulownia tree.
The sword was named Feng Yao.
Niu had narrowly avoided a blow and secretly rejoiced. Following Meizi, he drew his long sword from behind. The scabbard was ancient and rustic, yet very masculine, resembling a proud dragon that had just emerged from the sea in the night.
Dragon's Roar.
These two swords were legendary weapons passed down from ancient times, always held by couples. Especially when paired with a unique sword technique that was never revealed to outsiders, their power was unparalleled.
Since their early days, Meizi and Niu had been practicing martial arts together, developing an extraordinary rapport. After more than a decade of training, they had achieved significant mastery in their martial arts, and their sword techniques were exceptionally refined. When they drew their swords, the unified aura they exuded made Chang Guohong feel a sense of dread.
He pondered to himself, wondering where Brother Jufeng had found such a talented individual at such a young age. Fortunately, they were friends and not foes; otherwise, the hundreds of elite Azure Wind Antelope he had painstakingly trained would likely be doomed alongside these two young warriors.
As the night deepened, the three stood in a concealed corner, enveloped by an eerie and oppressive atmosphere.
Suddenly, Chang Guohong's ears perked up as two short yet powerful words came through the earpiece he wore.
"Start attacking."
With that, Chang Guohong raised his Mountain-Cleaving Blade. Under the night sky, the blade gleamed fiercely like a flag raised high!
It was as if a resounding horn had been sounded out of thin air.
Thus, the atmosphere of the night began to envelop a nearby hotel.
That place belonged to Hua Gang—a standard Five-Star Hotel—comparable in scale to the hotel once operated by the Unification Alliance in Spring City.
However, it could not escape the same fate as that hotel.
That night saw many lives lost—members of Hua Gang, those from the Unification Alliance, and even individuals from faraway Yingguo.
How many would die tonight? Would it be more or less?
In terms of global influence, Pizza Hut is clearly not as famous as Utada Hikaru. The former is merely an old man who has been hidden away for years, while the latter was once the renowned Vice Captain of Saint Envoy.
However, that night, the Vice Captain fell. If Pizza Hut were to suffer a serious blow that night, it would be enough to rival past events.
Because the most terrifying talents are those that remain hidden. No one knows how much power this old man has accumulated over the years. Hua Gang is a long-established gang, and no one would foolishly believe that its elders would regress after such a long history.
Thus, it was a night filled with gambling-like stakes, even more challenging than the fall of Utada Hikaru.
Fortunately, Jufeng had exceptionally rich resources at his disposal.
That included Mei Zi and Niu!
