At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Dong arrived at Blue Mountain Cafe on Fuqian Road on time.

Blue Mountain Café is located on the first floor of a white, European-style castle-like building.

In front of the café, there is a row of elegant outdoor seats where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Nanjiang River, which is 200 meters away.

As soon as Lin Dong arrived, he saw Mo Huan dressed in gray, sitting in a white chair, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.

Upon seeing Lin Dong, Mo Huan waved to him enthusiastically.

After Lin Dong came over and sat down, Mo Huan asked:

"Lin Dong, what would you like to drink?"

"random."

"Then I'll have you a hot latte, waiter!"

Soon a steaming latte was served, and the two sipped their coffee in silence, neither of them speaking first.

Two long ship whistles sounded from the river not far away...

"Lin Dong, Lu Changkong has broken two ribs and suffered some internal injuries."

Mo Huan spoke up:

"You've taken his place as the top underworld figure in Southern Metropolis."

"Oh? Sorry, I hit a little too hard."

Lin Dong said without any shame.

"It's alright. In a duel in the martial arts world, death and injury are inevitable, especially since we initiated the fight."

There's one more thing: of the 165 million that the casino lost to you, 70% came from our Yunying Society.

"Huh? So, that underground casino, your Cloud Shadow Society is the biggest shareholder behind it?"

"Yes, Guo Shi'an is just a minor shareholder, the person in charge of the casino on the surface. The real boss behind the scenes is us."

Hiss~

Guo Shi'an is just a small shareholder and he already has a net worth of over 100 million. How much illicit money does Yunying Society have?

This small casino is just one of the many businesses of the Cloud Shadow Society.

Lin Dong was numb, wishing he could immediately storm the Cloud Shadow Society alone and sweep away all the black gold of this big crocodile.

But even if you could do that, you wouldn't know where other people's cash reserves are, would you? Which of these big gangs doesn't keep their black money storage locations top secret?

Mo Huan was very satisfied with Lin Dong's astonished expression. No one could remain calm and indifferent in the face of the Cloud Shadow Society's immense strength and foundation.

"Furthermore, Yu Ziyun is our Chairman Lu's goddaughter. The shares in the Queen's Bar and Casino that she runs were given to her by Chairman Lu."

Mo Huan picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and said casually.

"I understand now. Lu Changkong's challenge, Guo Shi'an's betting, and Yu Ziyun's seduction—all of these were schemes set up by your Yunying Society. What were they for? Just to test me?"

Lin Dong let out a long sigh of relief:

"I lost in terms of people, but I also won in terms of money. The queen may be beautiful, but she has thorns. It's not that I'm afraid to eat her, but that I don't like to touch women I can't control."

"Lin Dong, our Cloud Shadow Society never does business at a loss, understand?"

Mo Huan stared intently into Lin Dong's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately, as if listing an irrefutable fact that left no room for doubt.

"Oh? So, you threatened Wan Qingshan, and now you're confronting me face to face?"

Lin Dong's expression turned cold, and he asked in return.

"Yes, when faced with our Cloud Shadow Society, any smart person knows how to choose. Lin Dong, don't worry, once you join the Cloud Shadow Society, your status will not be lower than Lu Changkong's."

What if I choose to refuse?

"Lin Dong, do you still have a choice?"

"What? Does your Cloud Shadow Society really think you can control everything?"

Lin Dong was so angry he laughed. Although he was a man who valued his life, loved money, and was lustful, he was never afraid of being threatened and hated being threatened.

Mo Huan gazed at Lin Dong's roguish yet handsome face, sighed softly, and offered a meaningful piece of advice:

"Lin Dong, let me give you a piece of advice in my personal capacity: a wise person is one who understands the situation, especially when such immense wealth is offered to you."

You're a genius, but you can't beat the Cloud Shadow Society. Think about it for three minutes. I'm going to the restroom.

Lin Dong watched as Mo Huan entered the coffee shop and went to the restroom under the guidance of the waiter.

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and a strange sense of unease and unease welled up inside him.

"Sir, could I borrow a light?"

A man in his thirties wearing a red and black plaid jacket sat down in the seat Mo Huan had just been in, a cigarette between two fingers of his right hand.

Lin Dong glanced at the stranger and saw that he was a customer drinking coffee at the next table. Without saying anything, he took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it over.

"Thank you, sir. You're such a kind person. Would you like one too?"

The man in the jacket smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes.

"You're welcome. I don't like smoking other brands of cigarettes."

Lin Dong waved his hand and frowned as he declined the stranger's offer.

"That's such a pity. Such good cigarettes, and you don't even know how to appreciate them, haha..."

The man in the jacket gave a strange smile, left his seat, and returned to his original spot.

He inhaled and exhaled smoke with relish, occasionally picking up the coffee on the table to take a sip, never glancing at Lin Dong sitting next to him again, as if the two were merely strangers passing by.

Three minutes later, Mo Huan returned to her seat, and the two of them stopped talking and quietly drank their coffee.

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense.

The answer is obvious; Lin Dong's silence says it all.

"It is a great pity that our Cloud Shadow Society has lost a genius that comes along only once in a century."

Lin Dong, I've already paid for the coffee. Enjoy your drink; refills of the latte are available here.

After saying this, Mo Huan finally shook her head, sighed inwardly, and left her seat.
