Hearing Abraham's words, Reed looked at Edith's pitiful appearance and couldn't bear to be harsh. He sighed and said, "Fine, since you want to stay here, then stay. I won't care about you anymore."
"Father, how can you leave my sister in this place?" Rossi said anxiously.
"Do you doubt my words?" Reed said expressionlessly. "I don't like anyone questioning my decisions."
"Yes, Father." Rossi didn't dare to say more and let go of his grip.
"Hehe, I knew Father wouldn't be so heartless," Edith said as she walked over to Night Peak, narrowing her eyes. "You didn't help me plead just now; don't you want me to stay?"
"I don't want you to stay," Night Peak replied coldly.
"You!" Edith was a bit annoyed but thought for a moment and made a funny face, playfully saying, "Hmph, since you don't want me to stay, I will definitely stay. Let's see what you can do about it!"
"Do as you wish," Night Peak said still coldly.
"Truly, a daughter grows up and cannot be kept..." Reed looked at his daughter and revealed a bitter smile.
Abraham laughed heartily, "When daughters grow up, they will marry. You can't keep them even if you want to. It's fine; as elders, we shouldn't meddle too much in young people's affairs as long as they are happy."
"I agree with Marshal's statement," Mo Ming said with a slight smile. "Once this matter is settled, I will be leaving here. If there are any matters to discuss in the future, Leader Reed can find Brother Ye; I will entrust all matters here to him."
Mo Ming chose this moment to speak mainly to lay the groundwork for Night Peak's future position, making sure that Reed and Abraham understood that the future leader of the Dragon Soul Gang would be Night Peak. If there were any matters to discuss, they could consult with Night Peak.
At the same time, it was also to inform Reed that his status was not low.
Even if his daughter married Night Peak, it was certainly not a case of a swan marrying a toad!
Night Peak understood Mo Ming's intentions clearly and shook his head with a wry smile without saying much more.
Reed and Abraham showed expressions of surprise.
"I never expected you, Brother Shura, to give up the position of leader. So, from now on, the leader of the Dragon Soul Gang will be this Night Peak in front of us?" Reed carefully examined Night Peak a few times and smiled, "Since you have gained Brother Shura's recognition, you must have exceptional abilities, Night Peak..."
Reed found the name somewhat familiar, muttering it a few times before his expression slightly changed. "You are that Evil Ghost, Night Peak!?"
"Hehe, Leader Reed, you're a bit slow on the uptake. I thought you already knew," Mo Ming couldn't help but laugh at Reed's expression.
"Truly capable individuals are hard to come by; no wonder you can bear the weight of the Dragon Soul Gang," Reed nodded in satisfaction and said to Night Peak, "Young man, I hope we can have many collaborations in the future."
"Definitely," Night Peak nodded slightly, finally putting away his cold demeanor and smiling. "I hope Leader Reed can take care of us in the future. The Dragon Soul Gang seeks peaceful development and dislikes war. If I do anything wrong, I hope Leader Reed won't be angry. I believe many issues can be resolved without resorting to violence."
Night Peak's words clearly conveyed to Reed the future stance of the Dragon Soul Gang: seeking stable development and wishing to avoid excessive friction.
"Haha..." Reed laughed heartily and said, "Your words are enough for me. I don't mind having allies; we can all make money together as long as we don't interfere with each other's financial paths."
In truth, Reed didn't like sharing profits with others, but the strength of the Dragon Soul Gang was evident. It wasn't something he could simply eliminate at will. If a real conflict arose, the Frank Family would gain nothing since the Dragon Soul Gang had the support of a mysterious organization known as "Yihun."
After today's conversation, Reed felt a bit more wary of Mo Ming. A young man in his twenties could establish such a formidable organization; his capabilities were clear for all to see. Reed was a clever old fox who naturally tried to avoid offending Mo Ming whenever possible.
"Hehe, then I'll rely on Leader Reed's support," Night Peak said with a smile.
"Leader Reed, if you don't mind, I think we can become long-term allies," Mo Ming said with a slight smile. "After all, the world is vast; Y Country is just a small stage. If the Frank Family only occupies this place, I don't think there will be much development."
"What do you mean?" Reed raised an eyebrow, his eyes shining with ambition.
"The Dragon Soul Gang and Frank can become allies and seek development together; then we have a chance to break out of Y Country!" Mo Ming's lips curled into a confident smile. "If Leader Reed has such ambitions, this is the best opportunity. I am your best choice; after all, no one wants to stagnate."
"Oh?" Reed looked at Mo Ming with a calculating gaze and said, "Brother Shura, it seems you are quite confident?"
"I never do things without assurance, nor do I speak without certainty," Mo Ming replied with a faint smile. "You might think I'm arrogant, but I would like to boldly say that being conceited is foolish; I only possess confidence."
"Haha... Good, truly heroes emerge from youth. From your eyes, I see my own burgeoning ambition," Reed laughed heartily, raising a glass. "Having lived for most of my life, while my body may age, my heart must not. Since there is an opportunity to strengthen the Frank Family, I might as well take a gamble with you!"
"Here's to our pleasant cooperation," Mo Ming said with a victorious smile, clinking glasses with Reed and downing the drink in one go.
Mo Ming was not surprised by Reed's decision, just as he had stated earlier.
He never does things without assurance.
Today, Reed would agree to form an alliance; Mo Ming was completely confident about that.
After all, Reed was a shrewd fox. He would not easily let go of any opportunity beneficial to the Frank Family's future. Moreover, with Edith's feelings towards Night Peak and the next leader of the Dragon Soul Gang, Reed would certainly seize this good opportunity tightly. Thus, the alliance between the Dragon Soul Gang and the Frank Family was inevitable.
"The alliance between the Frank Family and the Dragon Soul Gang is indeed great news! With these two superpowers united, the underground order in Y Country will no longer be so chaotic. This is my wish; I hope Y Country can be more peaceful in the future and stop all this turmoil," Abraham said with satisfaction. "It seems I've done quite well as a middleman."
"Without Marshal's help, how could Brother Shura and I have such a good rapport?" Reed poured another glass of wine and said, "Marshal, I raise my glass to you!"
"Alright! Let's drink freely today; I want to see whether my Military comrades can hold their liquor better or if you from the underground world can!"
Finally, matters were satisfactorily resolved. Abraham felt particularly pleased and let loose, raising his glass and drinking heartily.
"How can this drinking affair be complete without me as the host?" Mo Ming laughed a few times and said to Night Peak and Lion, "You two should sit down and drink together as well. Today, forget everything else and enjoy getting drunk with Leader Reed and General Abraham!"
"Hehe, then I won't hold back!" Lion had been eyeing the drinks for a while. Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, he immediately relaxed and sat down to pour himself some wine. He then turned to Night Peak and said, "Evil Ghost, stop dawdling and sit down to drink! You will be the leader of a gang in the future; you need to have some drinking capacity."
Reed laughed heartily, pointing at the Lion and said, "I recognize you, the Lion of the Dragon Soul Gang. Haha, you have quite a reputation! At first, I thought you were just some small fry, but who would have thought you unified the six major gangs in no time? I truly see you in a new light."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Enough chit-chat, let me toast to you!" The Lion scratched his head awkwardly and then raised his glass.
"Hahaha... I love that kind of straightforward person. Lion, you are to my taste," Reed said as he clinked glasses with the Lion.
The Lion downed his drink in one go, secretly thinking, "What? To your taste? I'm a man who likes women, not into anything else!"
"Let's not talk too much today; we won't leave until we're drunk!" Mo Ming raised his glass and stood up with a laugh.
The others all raised their glasses in agreement.
...
After a hearty meal and drinks, everyone was quite tipsy. Abraham had matters to attend to and left first. Before leaving, Mo Ming expressed concern about potential ambushes on the road and instructed members of "Yihun" to protect him discreetly so that Abraham wouldn't be in too much danger in case of emergencies.
"I'm done drinking, done drinking! Brother Shura, it was really enjoyable talking today, but unfortunately time flies. I have some family matters to deal with, so I won't stay longer." Reed glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late. He waved his hand and then said to Edith, "You can stay here if you like, but no mischief, understood?"
"Got it, Father. I'll behave," Edith stuck out her tongue playfully and looked at Night Peak with smiling eyes.
Seeing Edith's expression, Reed knew she was serious this time. He smiled wryly and shook his head slightly before saying to Night Peak, "Um... I'll just call you Night Peak. I hope you take good care of my daughter and keep her from causing too much trouble."
"Uh..." Night Peak wore a bitter smile at the corners of his mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Leader Reed, you can rest assured; I won't let anyone harm her."
Upon hearing Night Peak's words, Edith wrapped her arms around his and rested her head against him.
"Well, that's enough for me," Reed exchanged a few more pleasantries with Mo Ming, then said, "Rossi, we're leaving," and took Rossi with him as they departed.
"Cough cough... Lion, I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Can you help me back?" Mo Ming glanced at Night Peak and Edith, chuckled a few times, and waved at Lion.
Lion understood and walked over with a smirk, pretending to support Mo Ming. The two of them seemed to leave in a rush, showing no signs of dizziness at all!
"These two are quite the actors; it's a shame they don't go into showbiz!" Night Wind rolled his eyes in frustration and turned to leave.
Edith said nothing, her face beaming with a smile as she closely followed Night Peak. Wherever Night Peak went, she went too, clearly determined to stick with him.
"Can you stop following me?"
"Nope!"
"I'm going to the restroom!"
"Doesn't matter; I'm sticking with you for life!"
"…"
Night Peak felt quite helpless dealing with a clingy Loli.
