Jiang Zhen raised his brow, watching the masked woman carefully up and down.

  So this is the woman Yang Mingshen has sent as a spy…


  Li Dong smiled. "I am very pleased to introduce you to my new servant, Xia. She has awesome fighting skills. When she was first introduced by one of my guards, I was doubtful of her abilities, but she perfectly handled all my guards. I almost jumped from my seat, drooling at her valor, hahaha! Makes me want to take her blood sample and do lots and lots of testing~"

  Jia didn't care what Li Dong and Jiang Zhen talked about. She only focussed her gaze on Lihua, who was worried for Lu Bojing.

  She silently clenched her fists.

  It had been almost nine months after which she saw Lihua again. She was right in front of her, but Jia couldn't reveal her identity so easily. Plus, she was supposed to be dead for the world.

  Identity…


  The conversation between Mingshen and her flashed in her mind just before she had left for Li Dong's place.

  She clenched her jaw.

  Jia shut her eyes and quietly exhaled. She didn't want to think about that devil doctor, for now.

  She stared at Lihua, and a small smile curled her beneath her mask.

  It was less than a year, but to Jia, Lihua seemed a lot more mature now. She would have that silly streak in her before, which she still had. But now, Lihua looked different. It was as if she had experienced and learned a lot of things in just this short time. She had grown more wise and understanding, but she was still the same Lihua as ever.

  Her gaze fell on Wei, and all the warmth in her eyes immediately vanished. Her blood boiled in rage, and her every cell wanted to kill him right this moment.

  Jiang Wei! The cause of everything!

  There were so many reasons for her to get furious about him. Her parents' murder and his audacity to marry Lihua.

  You fucking bastard! You have some nerve to trap my sister when you killed our parents!

  She recalled Mingshen's words and smiled in disdain.

  Love? And you? You are incapable of love! And you claim you love my sister!? Fuck, you even made her pregnant! I will never…… never forgive you for lying to my sister!

  It was such a perfect chance for her to grab his throat and choke him to death. Only Jia knew how she controlled her urges.

  "Hey I feel so cold!" Li Dong shuddered. He looked beside him and chuckled. "Why are you emanating such frosty winds, Xia? Ohhh! Are you excited to fight these men too? You are so violent. I love it!"

  Lihua, on the other hand, felt an intense gaze at her. She turned her head and met Jia's gaze.

  Her heart skipped a beat.

  Even though Jia wore a mask, and she couldn't see her face, Lihua couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity from her.

  Sis…? No…


  What am I thinking? Why did I suddenly think of sis?

  Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Li Dong. You better handle your men……or women. I don't want violence here, not on my special day."

  He waved his hand in dismissal. Li Dong was more interested in Lu Bojing, who was still shivering in fright. "Well, I just came to meet my dearest subject here."

  Lu Bojing trembled.

  Lihua glared at him. "What subject!? He has a name! Lu Bojing!"

  "A subject is a subject. They don't have a name," Li Dong stared at her and smiled, "I would be thrilled to make you my subject too~"

  Suddenly, two pairs of sharp and bloodthirsty gazes fell on Li Dong. Wei looked as if he would bring hell down to earth while Jia was close to slash his eyes out.

  Jiang Zhen coldly said, "If you want to play with your research, then go back to your lab. Don't waste time here."

  He immediately put a finger on his lips. "I will not say anything now. Sshhhh!"

  Jiang Zhen snorted and looked back at Wei. "So, Jiang Wei. How about we start?"

  In just a few seconds, the base was filled with a bunch of different gangs. Most of them belonged to Wei, who betrayed him. Some were of Jiang Zhen's, who followed him to China.

  The leader of all the gangs immediately bent on their right knee and lowered their heads. "Boss!"

  Jiang Zhen smiled. "Do you all know why you have been called here?"

  "Yes, Boss!"

  "Good. Today, the Underworld is changing forever. Look at your pathetic Boss, Jiang Wei. He is before me, defeated and helpless. Do you want such a Mafia King?"

  "No!"

  "Do you want an Underworld where you can go all loose and shed blood? Where you don't have to think about shitty morals and laws?"

  "Yes!"

  "Do you hate the Underworld Jiang Wei led?"

  "Yes!"

  Lihua gritted her teeth in anger. "How dare you! Wei treated you all with respect and dignity, and this is what you give him back!? Betrayal!? He was never unfair to you and took care of and protected you and your families, and this is what he gets in return!? Do you have any ounce of shame left inside you!"

  Jia stared at her, completely dumbfounded.

  Lihua, you……you are standing up for Jiang Wei?

  This shook her to her core. After knowing everything how Wei killed her sister and erased her memories, after knowing that Wei did nothing but to lie to her - Lihua was still willing to fight for him?

  Why?

  Wasn't she supposed to hate him? Then why did she care about a murderer at this moment?

  On the other side, Wei too, felt his chest flutter and warm up as he heard her words. Seeing the anger in her eyes for this injustice that Wei faced made his eyelashes slightly tremble.

  I hurt you so much, yet you…


  The leaders remained silent.

  Jiang Zhen smiled. "Don't interrupt, Song Lihua."

  He looked back at the leaders and asked a last question. "If you want to enjoy the real thrill of the Underworld, you can only do so by following me. Do you give me your full loyalty as I become the Mafia King?

  "Yes!"

  He poured some wine in a glass and raised it…… "Cheers. Here I raise a toast and announce myself, Jiang Zhen, as the Mafia King of the Underworld!"
