Chapter 1061: Chapter 1049: Setting Out “Mom! You’re incredible!” Song Yun exclaimed sincerely. “I’m not that amazing,” Ye Qingsi replied with a smile. “The old woman in the mountains is truly impressive, and her disciple is remarkable too.” “Old woman? Who is she? And her disciple, who are they?” Song Yun asked. “You’ll know when the time is right. It depends on whether she wants to come down from the mountains. If she does, I’ll take you to see her. That woman is someone who can be compared to Elder Wang,” Ye Qingsi said. “Really that impressive?” Song Yun was once again amazed. Elder Wang is a legendary figure, akin to the final boss in a video game’s setting, the kind you defeat to unlock a new expansion. Yet, the old woman on Maoshan is on the same level as Elder Wang. How powerful must she be! It’s like Tathagata and God, both belong to the pinnacle of influential figures. After a few words with Ye Qingsi, Song Yun hung up the phone. After viewing these two major events, the next focus was on the Shura Alliance. The first matter was Zhang Bei. Zhang Bei successfully infiltrated the Evil Dragon Sect. After mingling for a few days, he leveraged his extraordinary skills to become close with the boss, Evil Dragon, calling each other brothers. This made Song Yun have to admit that he had made a brilliant move. At the end of the report concerning Zhang Bei, Song Yun noticed something. There was information about Lei Long. Once a boss-level character, Lei Long had almost vanished in the latest expansion, but surprisingly, Zhang Bei heard his name over in the Pearl River Delta! It’s not widely known, but it was mentioned from Evil Dragon’s mouth. Apparently, Lei Long is now mingling with the Gold Sect, one of the three major forces in the Pearl River Delta. Here, we have to mention the three major forces in the Pearl River Delta. These three powers each emerged through certain circumstances and have been evenly matched, with none able to overtake the others. The division of markets among these three can be traced back to an earlier circle. Back then, SZ was designated an economic zone, attracting countless people, and numerous forces emerged in SZ. After historical filtering, the forces that made it to the forefront are the so-called three major forces. Check latest chapters at novel·fıre·net One of them is the Gold Sect. The Gold Sect claims money supremacy, doing anything profitable, with a sphere of influence in the Pearl River Delta, belonging to the Guangzhou area. Another is Xingyi’an Company, a very powerful company controlling many underground fight clubs, even those in Southeast Asia. Aside from these, Xingyi’an also engages in various other businesses, like collecting protection fees, opening venues, and some shady dealings. There’s also the Tripartite Corporation, traditionally from the same circles as Song Yun, but its main business is in shady dealings. It’s rumored to have some relation with small groups, though no one knows what exactly. These are the biggest three forces in the Pearl River Delta now, and the other minor factions don’t need mentioning. Many allegedly independent forces actually have backing from these three. And many are purely insignificant, like forming a White Sand Sect with just a few people, extorting kids or small vendors for money. These sects are usually the first targets during sweeps, often seen online with tattooed thugs wielding knives or guns, wearing gold chains, driving luxury cars worth millions, flaunting stacks of cash on tables. They seem formidable, supposedly having killed or shed blood, yet they end up in prison facing the bullet. As for the Evil Dragon Sect, it’s akin to the former Shura Alliance, residing in a sparsely populated suburb, with about twenty or thirty members, collecting protection fees and running a couple of venues. Such sects are plenty in the Pearl River Delta but are typically ignored by the big three; after all, someone has to drink the soup while the others eat meat. Or rather, areas controlled by small sects like Evil Dragon Sect are usually deemed worthless by the big three, possibly just in a village or zone, maybe even in a factory district. The Evil Dragon Sect is doing relatively well, with two clubs and a nightclub under its belt, but beyond that, nothing much. Regarding why Evil Dragon knows Lei Long, Song Yun found in the data that a few people from Gold Sect had some connections with Evil Dragon and discussed this matter over a game of mahjong. Lei Long, once an influential figure in Sunan, is now seeking his fortune in the Pearl River Delta’s Gold Sect, which itself is an interesting topic. “Gold Sect, Lei Long,” Song Yun squinted. It’s not hard to fathom; why? Who controls Lei Long? The Zhou Family. But now, one might say Zhao and Zhou families. The Zhou Family is famous for what? Making money. The name Gold Sect, with its nouveau riche flavor, likely stems from someone within the Zhou Family. So, it’s simple: Lei Long perhaps gained the trust of the Zhou Family and was sent to Gold Sect to try his luck, seeking recognition. And why would Lei Long gain their trust? The only possibility is Lei Long handed something over to the Zhou Family.” These were Song Yun’s guesses, but he felt confident about them; in this world, things are always connected, especially among the antagonists mingling and relating. At the end of Zhao Yan’s report, Zhao Yan mentioned that Song Yun’s identity had nearly been arranged. This time, Song Yun would go to the Pearl River Delta as a main branch member of the Song Family, aiming to invest. Song Yun’s destination would be Guangzhou, and even officially, Zhao Yan had arranged everything. Have to say, Zhao Yan is an excellent steward. According to Zhao Yan’s plan, many things were beginning to take shape. As for how to link Song Yun’s identity with Zhang Bei or the Evil Dragon Sect, creating opportunities to intervene in the dark side of the Pearl River Delta, this was what Song Yun needed to ponder for a long time. After reading the Pearl River Delta’s files, Song Yun next looked at the data concerning the force in WZ.
