"The 10 of Spades, Wu Fangming."
The man's loud voice echoed in the air.
"10 of Spades"...
"10 of Spades"...
The air fell silent once more, with only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the cliffs and a distant seagull's cry piercing the sky.
The man before me is the one who, upon arriving on the island, immediately took the position of "10 of Spades," quickly gaining the recognition of the "10 of Spades" faction; in the struggle against Lei Laojiu, he directly eliminated him; and he has always kept a low profile and rarely shows himself!
Even though they were only one step away from the number "10", Hou Yifan and Jiulong were well aware of the gap between themselves and "10".
The leap from "9" to "10" is not as simple as the transition from "2" to "3".
They often pay the price, like Xu Zhihe, Jia Zuowei, Lei Laojiu, and Wu Fangming, with their blood, flesh, and even their lives.
The reason why the Spade City is considered the most prestigious among the four suits can be explained by the scene before us.
No matter how many connections, how much money, how much scheming, or how many contraband they possess, when faced with absolute force, all they can do is submit.
Hou Yifan's lips trembled slightly as he recalled the boasts he had made and the foolish things he had done, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
Jiulong realized something was wrong. Judging from Wu Fangming's posture, he could easily take on a hundred men, so how could he be subdued by his subordinates?
This was clearly a trap, but Hou Yifan and Jiulong were in the wrong and had nowhere to defend themselves.
Wu Fangming wore a righteous and stern expression, but inside he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Girl, you're really something!
The way these two people could only suffer in silence after doing something wrong was absolutely hilarious.
After a long while, Hou Yifan calmed down a bit. He walked forward with a dry laugh, as if nothing had happened.
He extended a hand and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Hou Yifan, 'Plum Blossom 9'."
Jiulong quickly followed, straightening his clothes and saying, "Jiulong, the 'Nine of Hearts'."
However, Wu Fangming did not respond to his handshake. His expression remained unchanged as he said, "I think this matter really shouldn't be resolved with you."
Before the two could even catch their breath, the former continued, "I think it's necessary to talk to your higher-ups. Could you please call them?"
Jiulong quickly distanced himself, saying, "This is, after all, the City of Plum Blossoms, so I shouldn't overstep my bounds."
Then, he slyly walked out of the city's fenced area and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and disregarding the lives of his men, he secretly ran away.
Hou Yifan was left standing there awkwardly. He withdrew his hand and tried to ease the tension: "Mr. Wu, I think this might be a misunderstanding. Why don't we just let it go and not bother the higher-ups?"
Wu Fangming glanced at him coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Oh? That's what you were thinking when you charged at me with that spiked club?"
Hou Yifan's face stiffened, and he chuckled twice more, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He knew he had lost face in front of everyone today, and he was filled with resentment.
He would never have been so humble if the other side hadn't outnumbered him.
He secretly vowed that he would make Wu Fangming pay back double for the loss of face he had suffered today!
However, Hou Yifan still maintained a humble demeanor, bowing his head repeatedly and saying, "You're right, but I've already sincerely apologized. What more do you want from me?"
Wu Fangming ignored Hou Yifan's obstruction and walked straight into the main city, striding to the gate. "I want to have a talk with your higher-ups."
Hou Yifan rushed forward to try to stop them, but when he saw a group of people walking out of the main city gate, he was stunned.
Then, Li Quanyou, known as "Plum Blossom 10," came out with his men and asked, "What happened?"
He had a serious expression on his face, as if he really didn't know what had happened.
But how could the prestigious "Plum Blossom 10" happen to bring someone here at this time?
Hou Yifan sensed something was wrong; this matter absolutely could not be allowed to spread to the upper echelons of Plum Blossom.
He composed himself and said to Li Quanyou, "This is the lord of Spade City, Wu Fangming, '10 of Spades.' He just came to have a chat with me; it's nothing serious."
Li Quanyou's gaze swept around, taking in the large crowd before him, and he asked skeptically, "Is that so?"
Hou Yifan pouted, unsure how to defend himself.
The next second, Li Quanyou turned to Wu Fangming and said, "Mr. Wu, you can come in with me, but we hope that your people will not gather here."
Wu Fangming frowned slightly. Although Li Quanyou seemed to have met his requirements, he actually wanted him to send away these hundred brothers.
This is also a way of mitigating the impact of the matter.
On the contrary, it seemed like they were favoring Hou Yifan.
As expected, Hou Yifan fell silent after hearing Li Quanyou's words.
Just as Wu Fangming was hesitating about whether to continue this "trouble," a clear and loud voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Looks like we've arrived just in time!"
Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a girl wrapped in a large overcoat standing in the crowd. Her eyes sparkled, clear and bright.
Two men followed behind the girl.
One had short braids with stray hairs falling across her forehead; the other had her face covered, revealing only a pair of deep-set eyes.
