"To be honest, I can't guarantee how well I understand it. After all, time can change many things. I have been away from the Azure Dragon Gang for a long time, and what changes have occurred over the years is unknown to me. What I know is from before," Poisonous Madness said after a moment of contemplation.
"That's true. So why don't you tell me what you know about the Azure Dragon Gang?"
Mo Ming found this reasonable. Time can alter even the patterns on a thousand-year-old stone carving, let alone a gang. It was not surprising that the Azure Dragon Gang had changed, but some things would remain constant despite all transformations.
"I'll first tell you some history of the Azure Dragon Gang, and later I'll share my relationship with them. I think this way, you'll find it easier to understand," Poisonous Madness said thoughtfully, smiling slightly at Mo Ming.
"Alright, go ahead. I'm listening!" Mo Ming nodded.
"The Azure Dragon Gang originated from a branch of the former major gang, the Axe Gang. After the Axe Gang was wiped out by the party, the Hall Master Qinglong managed to escape and rebuilt his power in the south, naming it Azure Dragon, which is now known as the Azure Dragon Gang. The gang has a rule that every generation's leader must be nicknamed Qinglong, so the current Qinglong is not the same as the one who founded the Azure Dragon Gang. Since its establishment, after several generations of development, the Azure Dragon Gang has gradually become a major gang in the south."
As Poisonous Madness spoke, he walked around while Mo Ming followed closely behind. They reached a stone step where Poisonous Madness brushed off some dust and sat down, while Mo Ming stood in front of him.
"When I joined, it was shortly after they had just set out. By chance, I encountered Qinglong, the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang. He thought my skills were impressive and invited me to join. Back then..." Poisonous Madness chuckled bitterly and continued, "I was quite playful and agreed to join the Azure Dragon Gang, starting to use my poison skills to kill and seize territory for them."
Mo Ming smiled knowingly and interjected, "Everyone has their moments of madness; I probably have more crazy stories than you."
"The Azure Dragon Gang has five main branches: Axe Hall, Dragon Slayer Hall, Poison Hall, Dark Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall. Initially, I was the Hall Master of Poison Hall," Poisonous Madness said without acknowledging Mo Ming's interruption. He shook his head with a bitter smile and added, "Actually, Poison Hall isn't particularly skilled in poison; it was established specifically because of my joining. Qinglong created this new branch and appointed me as Hall Master, giving me equal status with the other four branches!"
"Wow, that's impressive! Qinglong really valued you then. With your loyalty and character, you wouldn't leave him so easily," Mo Ming remarked with a furrowed brow. Given Poisonous Madness's nature as someone who values loyalty deeply and that Qinglong had specially created a branch for him, it seemed unlikely he would leave the Azure Dragon Gang without significant reason.
"Valued?" Poisonous Madness revealed a bitter smile as he looked up at Mo Ming and said, "Boss, you've probably been wanting to ask me about my departure from the Azure Dragon Gang for a while now."
Importance?
From the tone of Poisonous Madness, it seems that Azure Dragon does not truly value him. Perhaps some events occurred in the past that left Poisonous Madness disheartened, prompting him to leave the Azure Dragon Gang voluntarily. Otherwise, given Poisonous Madness's loyal and righteous nature, he would never have left someone like Azure Dragon who valued him deeply, unless Azure Dragon had wronged him.
Mo Ming was indeed curious about what had happened. Now that Poisonous Madness asked him, Mo Ming naturally did not deny it. He simply acknowledged, "Hmm," and honestly said, "I've wanted to ask for a long time, but since you don't want to talk about it, I wouldn't press you. Everyone has their secrets; if someone doesn't want to share, there's no need to ask. Toxic Jar, if you don't want to say anything, then you don't have to."
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's not a story that can't be told; it's just that no one has asked me, and I couldn't be bothered to share. If you really want to know, then I'll tell you," Poisonous Madness said with a slight smile.
Mo Ming replied, "Then go ahead; I'm listening."
"Back in the day, under my management, Poison Hall grew stronger and stronger, truly becoming one of the five major halls of the Azure Dragon Gang. Naturally, Azure Dragon began to value me more and more."
Poisonous Madness let out a bitter laugh and shrugged his shoulders. "You should know that people can be jealous. When someone is doing well, many will become envious and intolerant. When they can't stand it anymore, they'll do everything they can to eliminate you."
"The jealousy of a person can be terrifying; it can destroy someone's humanity and erase someone's life. So you're saying that as your Poison Hall grew stronger and gained Azure Dragon's favor, other Hall Masters became jealous of you and started taking measures to suppress you?" Mo Ming sat down beside Poisonous Madness and assumed a thoughtful posture.
"Yes, at that time, Dragon Slayer Hall's Hall Master had the biggest objections against me. Other halls often allied with Dragon Slayer Hall to weaken my influence. However, with Azure Dragon around, they didn't dare to act directly against me..." Poisonous Madness felt a bit emotional and pinched his nose without continuing.
Mo Ming smiled slightly at him and patted his shoulder. "Now you have me and a bunch of good brothers. Hey, don't dwell on those unhappy things from the past. If it really bothers you, just forget about it; whether you know or not doesn't make much difference."
"Hehe, I'm grateful to have met all of you good brothers in this lifetime. As for the past, I don't place much importance on it. However, thinking back on those times does stir some emotions in me. It's fine; since we've brought it up, I might as well continue sharing this matter," Poisonous Madness chuckled lightly and waved his hand.
"Alright then, go ahead; I'm willing to listen," Mo Ming nodded in agreement.
"How the other factions target me doesn't bother me, but the fact that Azure Dragon actually wanted me dead is something I cannot accept. Ha, what a load of nonsense about loyalty, it's all just talk!"
Poisonous Madness chuckled at himself and said, "Before I left the Azure Dragon Gang, my last mission was assigned by Azure Dragon himself. I led the elites from the five major factions to assassinate the Hall Master of Hong Gang's Loyalty Hall. But when I arrived at the meeting point, there wasn't a single person there—not even anyone from Poison Hall. All that awaited me were the ambushers from Hong Gang!"
"Damn it!"
Poisonous Madness cursed angrily, "If I hadn't been cautious that day and brought along a bag filled with highly toxic spiders, I would have died right there. There were three hundred people, each one an elite from Hong Gang! Even if they stood in line for me to kill them, I wouldn't have been able to take them all down. Haha... In the end, I still wiped them out, not leaving a single one alive!"
Just imagining three hundred elites in that situation is enough to understand how perilous it was; it was almost a matter of life and death. Even Mo Ming wouldn't dare to guarantee he could come out alive if he were in that scenario. Yet Poisonous Madness managed to kill over three hundred people. Although he used poison to do it, the fact remains that he alone took down so many opponents—this strength is truly admirable!
"Brother, I totally understand now. Damn it, is Azure Dragon an idiot? How could he treat you like this? Forget it; someone like him isn't worth your service. In fact, realizing someone's true nature is something to be grateful for. After all, you weren't killed by him; you're still alive and well!"
After hearing Poisonous Madness's words, Mo Ming was instantly furious. He couldn't believe Azure Dragon would betray his principles like this. It was truly a case of success or failure resting on the same person. Since he initially valued Poisonous Madness so highly, why did he later want to put him to death?
This question probably only Azure Dragon knows the answer to. Regardless of the reason, wanting to kill Poisonous Madness had crossed Mo Ming's bottom line. Given what had happened now, Mo Ming was determined to destroy the Azure Dragon Gang at any cost and capture Azure Dragon to see what color his heart truly was!
"Yes, that's right. I'm fortunate to see through what kind of person Azure Dragon is," Poisonous Madness said as he hugged Mo Ming tightly and laughed heartily. "It must be fate; if this incident hadn't happened, how would I have met you and found such good brothers?"
"Right, good brothers!" Mo Ming also embraced Poisonous Madness and joined him in laughter.
After laughing together for a while, they stopped. Mo Ming asked, "I still don't quite understand; since Azure Dragon wants you dead, why don't you seek revenge on him?"
"If I don't take revenge on him, it would mean repaying his recognition with kindness. However, if you want to deal with the Azure Dragon Gang this time, I will do my utmost without considering personal feelings," Poisonous Madness said firmly as he looked at Mo Ming. "To me, the Azure Dragon Gang is just an inn, while 'Loyalty' is my home. I won't allow anyone to harm my family!"
"Alright, alright, a tavern, a home, Toxic Jar, you are becoming more and more artistic. It seems that the recent spring has really nourished you."
Mo Ming laughed heartily and said, "So, is this for real this time? Don't go ruining another noble lady. I think Luoxiwei is quite good. If you really like her, just go for it!"
"This is my personal matter, boss, so don't worry about it. When the time comes, just wait for the wedding invitation."
Poisonous Madness stood up, brushed off the dust from his pants, turned to Mo Ming and beckoned him with his hand, saying, "Now that we've finished talking about that, I'm feeling a bit like I want to be beaten up again. Boss, feel free to come at me!"
"Sure, but don't regret it! I will definitely give you a thorough beating. After we're done, I'll introduce you to a good brother who just joined!" Mo Ming knew that after discussing those matters, Poisonous Madness would feel a bit uncomfortable. He immediately dropped the topic and stood up to engage in a spar with Poisonous Madness.
The two fought fiercely. The new members of the "Yihun" organization noticed the commotion and quickly gathered around. Upon seeing Mo Ming, they became even more excited; it was rare to witness a duel between the "Yihun" warriors. How could they not learn from it?
The fight was quite spectacular. Although it wasn't a life-and-death struggle, Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness both showcased their true skills. In the end, Mo Ming emerged victorious in this playful duel. After the battle ended, the new members rushed forward to continue their intense training.
"Toxic Jar, don't be disheartened. There are many people who can't beat me; you're not the only one. Keep working hard, and you'll have your chance!" Mo Ming earnestly "comforted" Poisonous Madness, but no one could tell that this was actually comfort.
"Get lost!" Poisonous Madness shot Mo Ming an annoyed glance and said, "Where's that person you mentioned? Take me to see him quickly; he must be someone special. Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought him up!"
