Returning to the long-missed school, Jufeng and Lu Qijia walked through the campus, still the enchanting couple, frequently drawing the attention of passing young people. Jufeng was relatively unknown at Huan City University, but Lu Qijia was a household name. Although rumors had circulated in the media about the captain of the Five Sisters Group being taken, there had yet to be an opportunity to reveal the details of this lucky individual. The reason became clear when they spotted a group of paparazzi surrounded by mysterious figures in black in a corner.
Jufeng held Lu Qijia's hand, swaying lightly in the air. To present a poised yet strong image for the Hurricane Gang, Lu Qijia had chosen to wear tight jeans and a crisp white shirt, looking like a vibrant and energetic girl next door.
“Don’t worry, A-Zheng has done a good job; there isn’t a single paparazzo in sight, so they can’t gossip,” Romain said.
Lu Qijia laughed playfully, “You’re one to talk! They’re just doing their jobs, and you’re bullying them.”
“Well, I don’t care,” Romain replied as he pulled Lu Qijia into his embrace, gently wrapping his arm around her slender waist. “If they disturb our time together, that’s unacceptable.”
…………
Party Xueyi had indeed taken care of all arrangements as promised. When Romain approached his advisor with his intentions, the advisor readily contacted the relevant personnel for him. Before leaving, they offered warm wishes to both Romain and Lu Qijia, making Romain feel somewhat flustered.
Upon returning from school to Canglang One Floating Life, Lezheng was busy with the villa expansion and wasn’t home. Tong Bailong had not been well-nourished lately, so after a hearty meal, he went off for a nap. Bill and the others were preoccupied with their own matters, leaving only Xue and Wenming with some free time.
Whenever Wenming had nothing to do, he would play with Demon Eagle in his hands. In his words, it was about building rapport; communicating well with his best partner ensured it would come through for him when it mattered most.
Lu Qijia was dropped off at Azure Waterside by Jufeng. She had her own affairs to attend to and couldn’t linger by Romain’s side all the time. As soon as Xue Jian learned of Romain’s return, he immediately began discussing plans for leading their troops westward.
“The arrangements for our forces will be completed tonight. I plan to take everyone to assist Hua Gang first thing tomorrow morning; this matter should not be delayed.”
“Agreed.” Romain nodded thoughtfully before adding, “However, we need to choose our location carefully. Look…”
Romain then pulled out a large map from his desk drawer; it depicted a proud rooster standing tall and strong.
He pointed to three locations on the map and said, “These three spots are firmly under Hua Gang’s control and form their defense against Northeast. There shouldn’t be any gaps for now. If we insert ourselves between Hua Gang and their opponents, any miscommunication could lead to complications. Therefore, my idea is that we cross the sea directly and head here.”
Jufeng pressed his finger firmly on a spot on the map. Beside him, Xue and Wenming exchanged knowing glances and smiled in unison.
"This location is excellent. Hua Gang and the Unification Alliance will face off against the United Heart Association, maximizing our chances of countering them. Moreover, Guan Bochao is clearly in league with the Unification Alliance for his own interests; he may not be fully committed. Once we reach the Eastern Province, it would be best to focus on sowing discord. Prairie Wolf is a perfect example."
Jufeng pointed out the location, and Xue elaborated on its advantages. Romain smiled and said, "Exactly. In fact, I have never been too worried about the United Heart Association's betrayal. Does Guan Bochao think his brother's subordinates are fools? Mu Zhongde must have some ulterior motives; the United Heart Association is certainly not united internally. You'll need to pay extra attention to this matter once you're in the Eastern Province."
"Absolutely!"
After their discussion concluded, early the next morning, Hurricane Underworld and Purple Jade Hall quietly gathered their forces and crossed the river to arrive in the Eastern Province, commencing yet another life-and-death battle for Huaguo following the Northeast battlefield.
For this journey westward and southward, Jufeng chose Qingcheng and Jicheng in the Eastern Province as their locations. Qingcheng is coastal, allowing for easy movement, while Jicheng is the provincial capital, making its geographical position crucial. With the current turmoil in Huaguo's Underworld, aside from a few colossal factions caught up in it, many smaller gangs have naturally chosen to retreat and lay low. Thus, whether it was the United Heart Association moving north or Hua Gang shifting westward, or today's hurricane heading south, there would be no obstacles in their way.
It was as if celestial beings were showcasing their powers in a battle above while the common folk below merely watched the spectacle in silence.
The United Heart Association had just moved north as well, so their manpower in the Eastern Province was limited; most of their combat strength was concentrated in North River Province. Therefore, Xue led both factions without much trouble and established a foothold in both cities that very night.
Now, with Hua Gang and Hurricane relying on five cities for mutual support and checks on each other, they had effectively encircled Northeast like an ironclad fortress, with clear grounds for both offense and defense. Prairie Wolf's betrayal had put Wolf General at odds with Wolf King, leading to a standoff as they reestablished their faction under the name Giant Wolf Gang.
The complete annihilation of Heroic Journey's forces in Yang City had temporarily quelled many restless assassins worldwide who feared they might earn money but lose their lives.
In this dark place, there was a hint of Peaceful and Clear ambiance. Since returning to Earth, Jufeng had never experienced such leisure as he did now. He either attended classes to deepen his knowledge of mecha or enjoyed quality time with Lu Qijia.
After leaving Canglang One Floating Life, Jufeng had been residing at Azure Waterside. During this time, aside from Jiang Xue occasionally returning to stay, the entire villa belonged solely to them.
While nurturing their relationship, Chang Guohong's training at Azure Wind Antelope in Washing City had also made a promising start. For this special task force, Jufeng had invested considerable resources. He rented several acres of land on the outskirts of Washing City and undertook extensive renovations; it was now ready for use. Whenever he had free time, Romain would visit this place and always felt a sense of satisfaction as he observed its progress.
The first rays of morning light streamed into the dormitory as the wake-up call sounded, summoning everyone to gather at the training ground. Chang Guohong gave the first batch of trainees from the Azure Wind Antelope just one minute to assemble. Was it harsh? No, today was considered quite merciful, as most of the trainees were already aware of this one-minute deadline and had not even bothered to change out of their clothes before sleeping. Compared to their initial disheveled appearances, this was already a significant improvement.
There were two hundred recruits in the training program, but after two rounds of rigorous selection, nearly a quarter had been eliminated. It wasn't that the recruits lacked quality; they were all elite individuals selected from the three provinces of Northeast China, many of whom had experienced the trials of battle. The problem lay in the fact that the training at Azure Wind Antelope was exceedingly harsh, and Jufeng had issued a standard that demanded only the best. Chang Guohong dared not be negligent in his duties.
"Very well, no one is late today; everyone arrived at the designated location within one minute. At least you are not beyond saving. The next task is the same as yesterday's, but today you will run an additional kilometer—eleven kilometers in total. Those who arrive first will get breakfast; those who are late, I’m afraid you will have to go without. Now, you may head out to collect your breakfast."
As soon as Chang Guohong finished speaking, someone dashed out first, followed by a surge of movement from the crowd. The sight of two hundred people running together was truly spectacular, resembling a tsunami in motion.
The waves surged onward.
(To be continued; I have matters to attend to this afternoon, so tonight's chapter will be delayed.)
