Chapter 38

"Master Yun admits defeat. The Black Tiger Gang is victorious."

Elder Yun announced the final result.

The members of the Hong Yun Gang erupted in an uproar.

"Boss actually admitted defeat?"

"Why? Boss, why did you surrender?"

Everyone clamored with questions.

Yun Tonghai's gaze turned sharp as he barked, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Li Hu burst into hearty laughter, clapping as he strode forward.

"Master Yun, you’ve conceded, and I accept your graciousness."

He extended his hand toward Yun Tonghai.

The members of the Hong Yun Gang quickly formed a protective barrier in front of him.

Yun Tonghai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gestured for his people to move aside.

Seeing their leader's command, they reluctantly stepped back.

Li Hu took another step forward, stretching his hand out toward Yun Tonghai.

Yun Tonghai stared at Li Hu with a complicated expression for a long moment before finally deciding to shake his hand.

Li Hu smiled faintly and helped him to his feet.

"I lost. I will keep my word," Yun Tonghai said with a sigh.

Li Hu smiled and replied, "Every trade has its reason for existence. I believe our two gangs don’t have to fight to the death. Cooperation and mutual benefit are the true future. Besides, this cemetery was built so the departed can rest in peace. Since we’ve chosen this place, we should respect its rules. From now on, let us set aside our grudges, reconcile, and make a fortune together. What do you say?"

Looking at Li Hu, who spoke with such conviction, Yun Tonghai fell silent.

Li Hu continued, "Working together is far more profitable than confrontation. What could be more important than making money?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Tonghai smiled and agreed, "Alright, let’s make a fortune together!"

The two men shook hands firmly, and the two gangs reached a simple agreement.

Li Hu said, "In a few days, I’ll host a banquet to celebrate the reconciliation of our two gangs."

Yun Tonghai nodded, "I think that’s a fine idea. I’ll invite all the prominent figures from North City to attend."

Li Hu laughed, "Then I, of course, will invite the most distinguished guests from South City as well."

Yun Tonghai smiled and turned to Ye Fengyun, asking, "Will this young friend of ours be joining too?"

Ye Fengyun yawned, replying indifferently, "Me? I’m planning a grand wedding for my wife."

"Oh? You’re getting married?" Li Hu sounded surprised.

Yun Tonghai, realizing this was an excellent opportunity to befriend Ye Fengyun, quickly said, "Brother, on your wedding day, I’ll bring all my men and every connection I have to celebrate with you!"

Li Hu added, "All the entertainment venues in South City will be open to you!"

Yun Tonghai glanced at Li Hu, suggesting, "Perhaps we should postpone our banquet for now."

Li Hu agreed with a nod, "Yes, compared to that, Brother Ye’s wedding is far more important. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. We must give it our utmost attention!"

Yun Tonghai and Li Hu nodded in unison. Both understood that Ye Fengyun was no ordinary man—his future would be extraordinary. Therefore, they spared no effort in currying favor with him.

Ye Fengyun, however, seemed unconcerned. He walked up to Li Hu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a grin,

"The fight’s over. You must keep your promise, too."
