On that day, He Yunsong arranged a banquet at the headquarters of the Little Green Society. Over a hundred tables were set up in the courtyard. The weather was clear, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky and stars scattered across the Milky Way, shining exceptionally bright. Even without the generous light of the stars and moon, the courtyard's lighting was sufficient to illuminate every corner as if it were a sunny day.
Mo Ming brought Lin Yuan'er, Murong Lian, and Jun Qianqian here for dinner. Many of the "brotherhood" from America praised them endlessly. The Crocodile, seeing that Lin Yuan'er and her companions were all exceptionally beautiful, couldn't help but compliment them as well, feeling that none of the women he had previously dated could compare. This made Mo Ming smile with a sense of pride.
Back when they had just met, the Crocodile was surrounded by women and often mocked Mo Ming for not being able to find a good woman. Now, however, the Crocodile was alone, while Mo Ming felt he had finally gotten his revenge. Of course, this teasing was just friendly banter; the Crocodile knew that Mo Ming had once loved Qingmeng and wanted to provoke him into starting anew.
The Crocodile and the Python were biological brothers, but he never mentioned it. He greeted everyone with a smile, perhaps pretending to be strong while hiding his tears inside. Mo Ming was very concerned about his state of mind and wanted to ask about his true feelings multiple times but feared reopening old wounds for the Crocodile. After all, among them, the bond between the Crocodile and the Python was likely the deepest.
Seeing your closest brother die before your eyes must have been incredibly painful for the Crocodile. He used his masculine strength to cover it up, not wanting others to know about his inner suffering. However, Fuxi's arrival with Fu Qingyun proved that Mo Ming's worries were unnecessary.
"Mo Ming, you're really asking for it! You already know about the Python's death but didn't tell me—what do you mean by that? Afraid I'd cry?" Fuxi immediately started questioning him upon arrival, leaving Mo Ming feeling quite frustrated.
Mo Ming forced a bitter smile and said, "No, who told you about the Python?"
"You still don't plan on letting me know? How long do you intend to keep it from me?" Fuxi's face was filled with anger as she pushed Mo Ming repeatedly, making him awkwardly laugh and deny it.
"Fuxi, enough! The boss is doing this for your own good," the Crocodile chuckled as he stepped in to stop Fuxi and smiled at Mo Ming. "Hey hey, boss, I told Fuxi about it. We all understand your concern for us. I'm very sorry about the Python's death, but I won't cry until those bastards from the Dark Order are dead!"
"Yes! As long as you can think like that, I'm relieved. We must take revenge on the Dark Order for the Python and our fallen brothers!" Seeing that both the Crocodile and Fuxi could let go of their grief eased Mo Ming's heart; at least he no longer had to worry about comforting them.
"Right! Let's take down those bastards from the Dark Order!" The brothers in the courtyard all heard Mo Ming's words and shouted in unison.
At that moment, Poisonous Madness walked in with his current girlfriend Luoxiwei in tow, grinning as he said, "Old Croc, take a look at my girlfriend—she's a real beauty! You sure know how to behave by not bringing back your so-called foreign girlfriend; otherwise, you'd be dead from anger!"
The Crocodile looked Luoxiwei up and down and found her figure and demeanor quite impressive—much better than those wild foreign girls he had known before. Nearby, Poisonous Madness smirked and said, "Toxic Jar, you've done well; your son's cafeteria is pretty nice!"
"Of course..." Poisonous Madness replied proudly.
"What are you talking about!" Luoxiwei glared at Poisonous Madness, lightly nudging him with her elbow.
Poisonous Madness shot a glare back at Luoxiwei, wrapped his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, "These are all my brothers. Do me a favor and behave tonight; from now on, I'll listen to you."
"You said it!" Luoxiwei smiled brightly, pointing at Poisonous Madness. He could only smile helplessly, holding her finger and nodding, "Sure, I said it. I'm not lying to you!"
Crocodile frowned and said, "Toxic Jar, what are you whispering about? It's not fair. What you said and what I said—what's so secretive? Why don't you tell me?"
"This is our family matter; stay out of it!" Poisonous Madness replied impatiently. He couldn't let Crocodile know about his fear of his girlfriend; otherwise, his manhood would be at stake.
Mo Ming understood lip reading well. He had caught every word exchanged between Poisonous Madness and Luoxiwei and laughed heartily, "Toxic Jar, don't forget I can read lips. I heard your little secret just now."
Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, Poisonous Madness rushed over, wrapped his arm around Mo Ming's neck, and warned, "Boss, if you spill the beans, you're no brother!"
"I won't say anything if there's no benefit," Mo Ming joked.
Poisonous Madness rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "Come on, let's talk money; I don't have more than you. Let's talk strength; I'm really not as good as you. Whatever we talk about... damn it, there's nothing I can offer you!"
"Alright, just because you're being honest, I won't expose your secrets," Mo Ming chuckled. Joking among brothers was fine; if they really fell out over a joke, that would hurt their feelings.
"Get lost!" Poisonous Madness slapped Mo Ming hard on the chest and then took Luoxiwei towards Murong Lian and the other women, probably to chat with his girlfriend.
Once Poisonous Madness left, Crocodile leaned in with a grin and asked, "Boss, what did Toxic Jar whisper just now? Just tell me secretly; I promise not to spill."
"You? Not spill?" Mo Ming looked at Crocodile seriously and shook his head while laughing heartily. He slapped his brother on the back and said, "Forget it; Crocodile's skin is thick and his mouth is big. Nothing told to you will stay secret."
"Nonsense! My mouth is the most secure! Don't wrong me!" Crocodile shot Mo Ming a middle finger and said, "Boss, the Dark Order's actions are getting tighter. How should we retaliate next?"
"Let's wait until tomorrow when Liufeng is back to talk about it. For now, let's drink up tonight!" Mo Ming shook his head and led the crocodile towards Qi Miao, smiling as he said, "Let me introduce you to some friends here; they are all our people, and you can't not know them!"
"Master!" Qi Miao exclaimed happily upon seeing Mo Ming approaching.
"Master?" The crocodile looked at Mo Ming in surprise and said, "Aren't you someone who never takes disciples? Why did you suddenly take one? Could it be that this kid has exceptional skills?"
As he spoke, the crocodile scrutinized Qi Miao closely.
"Haha, let me introduce him to you. This is the crocodile," Mo Ming said with a smile to Qi Miao, then turned to the crocodile and introduced, "This is Qi Miao, a member of the Little Green Society and also my disciple."
"Qi Miao? Interesting. Kid, the boss rarely takes disciples. You're lucky; make sure to learn some skills and don't embarrass the boss!" The crocodile patted Qi Miao on the shoulder.
Qi Miao grinned and nodded, saying, "Of course! I can embarrass myself, but I absolutely cannot embarrass my master. Don't worry about it, Brother Crocodile."
"Qi Miao, Ah Yun is probably here soon. You should hurry and get ready; it's time to serve the dishes. Don't let the brothers get drunk before the food arrives!" Mo Ming instructed Qi Miao.
"Master, I know. I already sent someone to prepare it; the dishes should be ready soon," Qi Miao replied.
He Yunsong arrived with Oumengqi as well. He sent Oumengqi to chat with Murong Lian and others while he walked over to Mo Ming. After greeting the crocodile, he turned to Mo Ming and said, "Boss, are most of the people here now?"
"Yes, everyone is here; we can start now," Mo Ming nodded and said, "Ah Yun, find a seat."
"Okay," He Yunsong responded and addressed everyone, "Brothers, tonight let's eat and drink freely. We are all brothers here; let's have some fun without holding back!"
"Hahaha..." Laughter erupted among the crowd.
Murong Lian, Lin Yuan'er, Jun Qianqian, Oumengqi, Fu Qingyun, Luoxiwei, and Fuxi sat at one table. These women got along well and engaged in conversations filled with topics that were mostly of interest to women, leaving the men unable to join in.
As for Demon Guanyin, perhaps it was a matter of incompatible conversation; she did not sit with a group of women but instead joined Wu Yong, Mo Ming, He Yunsong, Silver Wolf, Jordan, Wild Horse, Crocodile, and Poisonous Madness. She did not drink alcohol, but her cold gaze remained fixed on Wu Yong. It was unclear whether Wu Yong noticed her; he was too busy eating and drinking while chatting with Mo Ming and others.
The members of the group, who had little experience with bloodshed and violence, listened with great interest as Crocodile brought in an Old Member to share stories from the past. The seemingly cold-hearted member, after downing a few drinks, let his guard down and began to drink heavily with the Old Member. However, despite his decent drinking skills, he was completely outmatched by the Old Member and passed out after consuming less than ten times what he could handle.
That night, many people got drunk. Aside from a few like Mo Ming who remained sober, the rest likely had no idea how they ended up in bed. If enemies were to strike now, they could easily take them all out.
Mo Ming drove slowly to drop off Jun Qianqian and Murong Lian. Lin Yuan'er went back with Fuxi and Fu Qingyun. Mo Ming first took Murong Lian home and then dropped off Jun Qianqian. Upon arriving at Lord Qian's house, Jun Qianqian insisted that Mo Ming stay with her for the night. Mo Ming certainly wouldn’t refuse outright; that night they discussed the details of having children again.
The next morning, Mo Ming was awakened by Liufeng's phone call. The message was that he was preparing to head to Nanhua City and urged him to come quickly to distract the hotel staff to avoid revealing their kidnapping operation. This was China; if discovered, the police would surely invite them for tea and might even arrange for them to stay in a free room for life or grant them euthanasia.
Seeing that Jun Qianqian was still fast asleep after last night's chaos, Mo Ming decided not to disturb her. Instead, he left her a note wishing her a good rest and went directly to pick up Crocodile and the others at Fenglai Grand Hotel.
Upon arriving at Nanhua City Grand Hotel, Mo Ming instructed Li Xiulan to arrange several empty rooms and told the hotel staff not to approach those rooms without his orders. If anything valuable went missing, it would not be taken lightly!
Li Xiulan understood his instructions without asking further questions and complied promptly. Mo Ming was quite satisfied with her attitude and asked her to prepare food and drinks before sending them up while he took Crocodile and the others to the rooftop to prepare for the arrival.
