"I'll sign." Yang Yu was the first to express his agreement, and the others eagerly raised their hands, all agreeing to sign the confidentiality agreement. Gao Zhi even impatiently urged Zhang Qiu, "Brother Qiu, hurry up! Who here wouldn't want to follow you?"
"Yeah, Brother Qiu," everyone chimed in.
Zhang Qiu had been thinking about this for a long time, but due to its significance, he had to go through the proper procedures. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Zhang Qiu recounted the story of the jade pendant to them. In front of the astonished Brothers, he took out the White Tiger and said, "This is the legendary jade pendant."
"I have one too!" Lucia showed her jade pendant to everyone. Although she couldn't understand what Zhang Qiu was saying, she could guess from his tone and expression, as well as his action of showing the pendant.
Wang Zhengxiang clutched his chest and said, "Brother Qiu, I need a moment; this is a bit unbelievable."
"Even more unbelievable things are yet to come. There are three pieces of the legendary jade pendant in total: one is with me, one is with Lucia, and the third is with Prince Banan of Tanzania. This clue was originally provided by Yang Yu."
At this point, everyone turned to look at Yang Yu. Gao Zhi said, "Brother Yu, so you knew all along."
Yang Yu smiled lightly and replied, "At first, I only saw Brother Qiu's jade pendant. Then one day, I accidentally saw an identical jade pendant in the news. I immediately showed that news to Brother Qiu, and that's when he told me the story you all heard today."
"So it seems that the three heirs of the jade pendant have reached an agreement?" Zhao Pingchuan was the first to accept Zhang Qiu's narrative; he never rejected these strange matters. Brother Qiu went to Africa because of the pendant and has returned now with some confidentiality agreement; it must be related to that prince.
"That's right. The main purpose of this trip to Africa was to meet Prince Banan and discuss matters related to our family mission. However, Lucia and I inadvertently got involved in Tanzania's national liberation struggle, and fortunately, we did get involved. Through this struggle, Lucia and I established a bond of friendship with Prince Banan through blood and fire. We not only reached an agreement regarding the mission bestowed by the jade pendant but also gained our first territory—Tanzania Republic."
"Territory?"
Seeing Zhang Qiu nodding, Gao Zhi quickly asked, "Brother Qiu, you didn't change your nationality to become an official, did you?"
"What are you talking about? Is that even possible?" Zhang Qiu laughed at Gao Zhi's thought. "Have you forgotten the song we sang together at the New Year's Eve party?"
Gao Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled and began to sing, "Forever and ever, we are the descendants of the dragon..."
"That's it. The meaning of territory is that once the prophecy comes true, Tanzania will be our solid fortress. You may not know this, but there is a slogan in Tanzania: 'We are an impregnable fortress.' Ever since I first saw this slogan, I felt it had a deeper meaning. Perhaps everything is predestined."
"Will that really happen? Will humanity be destroyed because of it? Is the end-of-the-world scenario depicted in movies about to become reality..." Rui Rui said despairingly as she sat on the sofa with her head resting on her hands.
"Don't worry. Even if that day comes, humanity will not be destroyed. People a thousand years ago were able to overcome their opponents, and we can do the same a thousand years later. The reason I am sharing this with you all is for an important reason. In Africa, Lucia, Prince Banan, and I have discussed the future in detail and unanimously agreed that more people should assist us in defending the Earth. Therefore, we decided to center our efforts around the three of us and expand our influence while signing confidentiality agreements under strict secrecy. Prince Banan has the support of an entire nation, while I can rely on Hall Society and all of you who have been by my side."
Qiu Wan noticed that everyone fell silent; these stories were indeed hard to accept at once. A regular high school graduate suddenly telling them they needed to strive to defend the Earth was something no one could easily digest. The atmosphere in the office was heavy and oppressive. Jiang Xue, Lucia, Yang Yu, and others had already sided with Zhang Qiu; they understood how difficult it was to accept such matters and chose not to disturb others' thoughts. Otherwise, with Yang Yu's temperament, he would have already started shouting.
"Brother Qiu, don't worry; I will definitely help you," Zhao Pingchuan was the first to express his support. After listening to Zhang Qiu's words, he suddenly remembered what his grandfather had once told him.
Zhao Pingchuan's grandfather had said that if you longed for a stable life, you should go west and settle down in a town. If you sought passion, follow your friend named Zhang Qiu; it would be the right choice. But ultimately, it depended on your own fate. At this moment, Zhao Pingchuan realized what his grandfather meant. His grandfather must have foreseen the events described in the prophecy, which is why he suggested settling down in the west. His grandfather probably also sensed Zhang Qiu's unique identity. Once one thing becomes clear, countless other things often fall into place. Zhao Pingchuan now understood why his grandfather had given that ancient book to Zhang Qiu.
After coming to this realization, Zhao Pingchuan did not hesitate to agree with Zhang Qiu. Settling down in the west was not the life he desired. He wanted to be with his brothers and do something significant rather than waste his opportunity to know Zhang Qiu. Zhao Pingchuan's eyes sparkled as he regarded the mission entrusted to Zhang Qiu with the jade pendant as his own.
After Zhao Pingchuan expressed his support, Taolengman and Tao Ya followed suit as Sister Flowers expressing their willingness to follow Zhang Qiu. From the moment Taolengman pulled Tao Ya into Hall Society, she had recognized Zhang Qiu as her leader. No matter what Zhang Qiu did, she would follow him closely. Rui Rui shook her head in frustration after being struck by the harsh reality of the future and sighed, "Forget it; I still want to make money and become rich; my dream seems shattered now. Come on! Instead of making money, I want to do something more meaningful! Brother Qiu, I'm with you!"
Zhang Qiu stood up and patted Rui Rui on the shoulder with a smile, saying, "Following me won't hinder your dream of becoming rich." Zhang Qiu understood Rui Rui's thoughts; she was a struggling child who believed that only money could provide her with security. When he first met Rui Rui, he was curious about how rarely she took breaks; her answer at that time was always about making money.
Half an hour later, everyone in the office reached a consensus; this outcome had long been anticipated by Zhang Qiu. He believed that his brothers would not abandon him and knew they were all responsible individuals. Hall Society, which had yet to gain national recognition, had taken steps that other organizations would not dare to take.
From his brothers' gazes, Zhang Qiu read determination, trust, and an unwavering resolve for victory. Gao Zhi shouted excitedly: "Is Zeng Fan strong? We knocked him down! Is Liu Xiaolong strong? We knocked him down too! Is Wang Guodong strong? He was also knocked down by us... No matter who we encounter in the future as long as they block our path, we will crush them and eliminate them!"
Just like in Africa before, Zhang Qiu, Lucia, and Prince Banan clasped their diverse-colored hands together tightly. Today in Daylight Fire Bar's office, Zhang Qiu and his brothers and sisters also shared this inspiring moment together.
After everything was done, Gao Zhi suddenly remembered something and anxiously grabbed Zhang Qiu's arm, shouting, "Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, you still have to give me a pill of that medicine. We are shouldering a big burden, and all the brothers have taken it except for me. How can that be..."
"It's fine, it's fine. The medicine may not be late, but here, have some roasted duck," Zhang Qiu said with a smile as he stuffed several bags of roasted duck into Gao Zhi's arms. "If you feel unbalanced about it, I can talk to the brothers and let them skip the roasted duck so you can have it all to yourself."
Everyone except Gao Zhi and Lucia burst into laughter. Wang Zhengxiang chuckled, "Gao Zhi, it's okay. If necessary, we won't eat the roasted duck; we'll give it all to you. I have no objections."
"Yeah, none of us have any objections."
The group laughed again, and Gao Zhi looked at Zhang Qiu dejectedly. "Brother Qiu, no way. I can skip the duck, but I must have the medicine!"
"Having it is not a problem; it's just that who knows when we'll get the next batch of medicine? But don't worry; before you turn thirty, I will definitely make sure you get this medicine," Zhang Qiu teased, deliberately pushing the timeline far into the future to amuse Gao Zhi. In reality, Zhang Qiu would soon ask Bai Jingwei for the next batch of medicine; he had already planned to prioritize his family members, ensuring everyone received a pill.
"Alright, as long as I can get it," Gao Zhi gritted his teeth.
Gao Zhi looked like he was about to slap himself in frustration, causing another round of laughter among everyone. After they finished laughing, Zhao Pingchuan initiated a discussion about the current situation in Beilan County. Yang Yu began reporting on the conditions of their respective territories over the past period. Zhang Qiu learned that overall, things were going quite well in each area. This was partly due to the destruction of Lin Tao Gang and Stone Dagger Gang but mostly because these young people around eighteen or nineteen years old were managing things diligently. Taolengman’s report surprised everyone; this sophomore girl was running Fire Cicada remarkably well and was very knowledgeable about various aspects, showing no signs of being a newcomer. Zhang Qiu couldn't help but sigh; some people are destined for greatness from birth.
After discussing the internal situation of Hall Society, they talked about recent events in Beilan County. Zhao Pingchuan introduced to Zhang Qiu: "Brother Qiu, during your absence, the Beilan County police have been cracking down on public security issues. Various gangs that split from Lin Tao Gang and Stone Dagger Gang have been captured if they were not behaving properly. Currently, the situation in Beilan County is divided between us and Sister Hua, and we hold a slight advantage over her in terms of strength."
