Jufeng returned to Washing City after only three or four days, yet the entire landscape of Huaguo Underworld had changed.
If the death of the Azure Dragon Monk had surprised Jufeng somewhat, then the death of Pizza Hut truly caught him off guard.
As Xue recounted the reasons behind these events, Jufeng couldn't help but sigh—why were there so many lamentable occurrences lately that left his heart in turmoil?
The sequence of events unfolded as follows. After Jufeng's departure, Flower Snow Moon's influence in Zhao City became increasingly evident. Within just two days, Hua Gang was filled with anxiety; countless members fled, and even those who remained were losing faith in Hua Gang.
Moreover, this was a civil war, distinctly different from facing a hurricane. Flower Snow Moon tentatively engaged in a skirmish with the Hua Gang under Pizza Hut's banner, resulting in an immediate defeat for the latter, retreating as if they were willingly surrendering their territory.
Flower Snow Moon did not anticipate that Hua Gang had become so estranged from Pizza Hut. Consequently, she altered her strategy and raised the banner of Hua Gang herself.
Once the Irin King, she was instrumental in Hua Gang's revival. Thus, after establishing the banner of Hua Gang, many returned like a flood.
Before formal hostilities could commence, Pizza Hut had already been reduced to a remnant force.
Under immense pressure from various fronts, Pizza Hut stubbornly clung to its position, unaware that it had already lost the support of its allies. Ultimately, the successors he had personally chosen convened a brief meeting and decided to force a palace coup for reconciliation.
In the end, Pizza Hut met his demise at the hands of his most beloved disciple, who simply stated:
"Master, your time has passed. You must consider us young people. Your stubbornness will only harm us, so it is best for you to step aside."
The death of Pizza Hut triggered a series of chain reactions. First and foremost was the reconciliation of the Elder Council; Pizza Hut's death secured their continued existence.
After some thought, Flower Snow Moon agreed but made it clear that Hua Gang would be under the banner of the hurricane.
This move sparked some backlash; however, with the arrival of certain news, they had no choice but to compromise.
Led by Mu Shu, the Unification Alliance launched a surprise attack and swiftly defeated two Warlords before announcing that the Unification Alliance would fall under Jufeng's command.
Hurricane and Jufeng, just a word apart, yet their meanings differ. Hua Gang observed Mu Shu's actions, and after negotiations with Flower Snow Moon, he decided to compromise and announced allegiance to Jufeng.
From that moment on, the entire Underworld of Huaguo was finally pacified, bringing an end to centuries of conflict and achieving unification.
The one who accomplished this great feat was the last underground emperor, known as Jufeng.
The remnants of the United Heart Association, unable to resist such overwhelming momentum, surrendered and compromised.
Aside from Hua Gang and Hurricane, which were part of the Three Major Factions, the only other significant faction in the Underworld of Huaguo was the Giant Wolf Gang from the grasslands. However, due to their amicable relations, their territories did not clash, allowing the Giant Wolf Gang to maintain its independence.
Jufeng was not a conqueror; even in Situ Yu's territory, the Giant Wolf Gang should remain independent.
In Washing City’s Canglang's Floating Life, Jufeng looked at the room full of men and women and felt a sense of surreal nostalgia.
The senior management of Hurricane was present: Xue at the forefront, followed by Bill, Lezheng, Zhu Mao, and Chen Huoxiong. Tong Bailong and Chang Guohong stood nearby; due to their connection with Azure Wind Antelope, they had developed a good relationship. Further back were Wade and Gou Hongbo, but missing were Civilization accompanying Jiang Xue and Tian Feng who was studying at Universal Hunting School.
Next to Hurricane was Flower Snow Moon leading the members of Hua Gang, though their numbers had significantly dwindled. Beside Flower Snow Moon was Politeness, who had finally achieved his goals after much effort. Just returned from the grasslands were Situ Yu and Tang Haoran, one of the Three Dragons.
Yu Jianyuan had left; he wandered off into the mountains and rivers without a trace. With Hua Gang unified again, he had completed his own journey and no longer wished to toil in the mundane world.
Not far from Flower Snow Moon was Mu Shu, standing alone yet representing the entire Unification Alliance.
Mu Shu was no longer the infatuated girl who once admired Flower Snow Moon; she sat there composedly without luxurious attire or stunning beauty but exuded an undeniable charm.
Behind Jufeng stood the aloof Zhu Yao along with Liu Xing carrying a sword on his back and Chuyang enjoying a lollipop.
By the window not far away leaned Chen Tan Hua, gazing outside.
As Jufeng's gaze swept over everyone present, he suddenly realized that even under so many watchful eyes, he still felt somewhat restrained. Some responded with excitement while others remained indifferent; for instance, Mu Shu showed little reaction. Politeness sat there swaying slightly as if on the verge of falling asleep.
Jufeng cleared his throat and then smiled somewhat awkwardly, saying softly, "Isn't this a bit too formal? There's really no need for it."
With a hint of sarcasm on his somewhat weathered face, Mu Shu's indifferent expression shifted slightly, while Politeness's half-closed eyes suddenly widened.
"I think so too. We're all family here, so why be so polite? Flower, I'm going to bed now."
Politeness made a move to stand up and leave, but just as he lifted himself off the seat, he immediately sat back down.
At that moment, Flower Snow Moon was staring at him with wide, almond-shaped eyes, looking both angry and not angry, which made Politeness feel compelled to stay still.
The others couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of "flower."
Flower Snow Moon's face flushed slightly, and then she noticed a smile appearing on Politeness's cheek.
Seeing this, Politeness felt a chill in his heart.
Jufeng shook his head with a smile, not intending to resolve personal matters here, and continued speaking.
"Since there's no need for formality, I'll keep it brief. Everyone here is gathered because of me. In the past, there may have been some conflicts, but from now on, as long as I am present, even if we pretend, we must at least pretend to be harmonious."
"With everyone gathered here, I suddenly feel that I haven't delegated enough authority. The name 'Hurricane' is already quite well-known; I have a bit of selfishness and want to make this name even bigger."
"So now, the original Hurricane will be renamed Azure Society, with me as the president. Aside from Azure Wind Antelope, all other positions will remain unchanged. I have already passed the baton; he will naturally manage things well."
This announcement was like a bombshell; aside from a few directly involved individuals, the rest were unaware of this change.
Mu Shu glanced over at Xue in the distance. They had already exchanged words before; he found this person much more reliable and agreeable than Jufeng and felt genuine congratulations rising in his heart.
Flower Snow Moon was aware of this matter and thus showed no surprise. However, Situ Yu beside her lingered his gaze on Xue for a moment longer. He was now the deputy leader of Hua Gang, second only to one. Soon, Flower Snow Moon planned to step down as well; in that case, he would have to deal with Xue and naturally needed to pay more attention.
As for the members of the Hurricane gang, their expressions were somewhat different. Standing there, Tong Bailong and Chang Guohong were indifferent; one was heading to the military, and the other would continue to follow Jufeng, which did not affect them.
Bill from the Iron Triangle was already aware of this matter. He understood that Jufeng and he needed to have a conversation, but he couldn’t help but feel that he would have to explain things to the other two when he returned.
Lezheng and He Jie had somewhat unnatural expressions. Although they had a good relationship with Xue, they couldn't guarantee whether their current positions might change. Chen Huoxiong, on the other hand, wore a hint of concealed joy on his face; he had been personally promoted by Xue, so it was only natural for him to be happy.
Once Jufeng finished speaking, Xue's voice followed closely behind. With just one sentence, he put everyone's minds at ease.
"I have discussed this with Brother Jufeng; for now, the organization of Hurricane will remain unchanged. Everyone has been doing well all along. As long as we remember that we are all working for Brother Jufeng, there will be no problems."
Xue was the second-in-command of Hurricane, so his promotion felt natural and was easily accepted by the gang members.
Then Jufeng continued, "Under Hurricane, we have the Azure Society, Hua Gang, and the Unification Alliance—three forces working in tandem. Now that everything is stable domestically, our next target is abroad."
At this point, Mu Shu's eyes suddenly brightened, and the extremely beautiful Situ Yu couldn't help but look at Jufeng.
Venturing into the world was almost every gangster's dream, and under Jufeng's leadership, this dream was about to become a reality.
Jufeng briefly outlined the situation abroad.
"I believe everyone is aware of some recent major movements from the Yamamoto Clan and their friction with Blazing Axe. However, things are not as simple as they seem. Essentially, it’s a dream shared by Vera, Ikeda Kenji, and me; everything is ready now, and we can set sail at any time."
At that moment, Jufeng roughly explained the joint expedition into the world, igniting excitement among everyone present. Ikeda Kenji had firmly established himself as the leader of the Yamamoto Clan and had reconciled with Blazing Axe to form an alliance. Vera had also returned some territories that had been seized back to the Yamamoto Clan, making Ikeda Kenji's influence quite strong.
The chosen day would be when Hurricane, Blazing Axe, and Yamamoto Clan would hold talks; at that time, they would march forward with even bolder strides.
However, all of this was yet to begin; it was still in progress. Therefore, the three gangs only needed to rest and prepare for departure at any moment.
The meeting proceeded quickly since everyone understood each other well and there was no need for unnecessary chatter. Chuyang had already switched to his second lollipop while Liu Xing looked at Chuyang's mouth with a smile, thinking how delightful Chuyang looked while eating lollipops.
Once everything was arranged here, everyone began to leave. Some chose to stay, like the followers of Xue from Original Hurricane, but in the future, when there were matters to report, they would likely go directly to Xue's residence.
Under Jufeng's blessing, Chen Tan Hua reluctantly left this place—not to enjoy the scenery at Xavier, but to return to the Large Magellanic Cloud for further investigation. The source of the unknown message from the Azure Dragon Monk was indeed linked to the Large Magellanic Cloud, so Chen Tan Hua had a long and arduous task ahead of him.
"Don't forget to take care of your wife while you're working," Jufeng said, watching Chen Tan Hua at the security gate.
Chen Tan Hua turned around, raised his middle finger, and then left with a flourish.
After Chen Tan Hua departed, there were still others who needed to leave.
