In the following period, the Dragon Dance Association carefully and systematically selected new elders. The two newly appointed elders were Wang Qiang and Su Heyu. Both of them were the most prestigious among the eight halls. Wang Qiang was in charge of the hall that dealt with import and export trade, while Su Heyu was in the construction industry.
In reality, the so-called "branch" is not like what is shown on TV. It's just a name. To put it simply, it's a branch of the Dragon Dance Group, and the "branch leader" is the boss of this branch. "Branch" and "leader" are just internal titles within the Dragon Dance Group. After all, the Dragon Dance Group is the largest Chinese gang in Italy, so it's not surprising that it has this kind of structure.
"Xiaoyue, the Dragon Dance Club has returned to normal now. I want to take advantage of these few days to wander around here again and take care of some things. While I'm away, Xiaolong will protect your safety." In the Dragon Dance Club's manor, Li Jia whispered to her younger sister.
"Why? Can't I just arrange for the brothers from the Dragon Dance Club to handle things?" Xiaoyue asked, puzzled. Although she had officially become the president of the Dragon Dance Club, Xiaoyue was still just a sixteen-year-old child. Her thoughts were mostly simple and pure, especially towards her family.
"Hehe, no need. They can't do what Big Brother wants to do, otherwise Big Brother wouldn't have gone in person. Alright! Go back now, I'm leaving now. I don't know exactly when I'll be back, but remember, if anything happens, call Big Brother immediately! I'll be back as soon as possible!" Li Jia smiled and touched Xiaoyue's shiny black hair, then said calmly.
"Alright then! Big brother, be careful!" Xiaoyue, having experienced many things, was very sensible. Upon hearing this, she immediately abandoned her insistence and instead spoke to her older brother with concern.
"Hehe, thank you, Xiaoyue. Go back now! Angel should be ready too. Go back and tell her I'll be waiting for her at the Palm Café." Li Jia said with a smile, then turned and leisurely left the manor, walking along the Arno River and easily heading towards the distant bridge and the Palm Café. It was on the other side of the Arno River.
As Li Jia walked to the row of painting stalls, the mysterious old man from a while back suddenly came to mind. Now, that spot was occupied by a handsome young man with long, disheveled hair. Li Jia stared at the spot, recalling the inexplicable painting and the enigmatic words, "Spring Breeze...Wildfire." Thinking of this, Li Jia smiled and shook her head. When had she become so hesitant? If she couldn't understand it, she shouldn't think about it!
With a smile returning to her face, Li Jia walked lightly onto the bridge, and the Palm Cafe appeared in front of her a dozen minutes later.
"Master, you didn't just call me here to invite me for coffee, did you?" Angel's first words to Li Jia made Li Jia smile slightly.
"It's not just a simple coffee invitation, but we'll have coffee and talk business." Li Jia finished speaking and snapped her fingers. A waiter immediately approached with a broad smile, "It's a pleasure to serve you!"
"Master, do you want to see Little Scorpion?" Angel was naturally exceptionally intelligent to become Li Jia's apprentice, and she guessed what was going on just by looking at Li Jia's smiling face.
“Well, before that, I still want to thank you for your help these past few days. Little Scorpion isn’t in Italy, is he? There’s no rush to see him. Let’s take a look around here today. Last time we came, we spent a whole day here and didn’t have time to see many places.” Li Jia picked up her coffee, took a sip, and said slowly.
“Okay! I was just thinking of going to Piazzale Michelangelo. I used to hide some little trinkets there, hehe!” Angel said, picking up her coffee with one hand and smiling smugly.
An hour later. In Piazzale Michelangelo, Angel found the little trinket she had hidden at the foot of the David statue, then walked out of the square arm in arm with Li Jia, beaming with pride.
Li Jia rented a car and spent a whole day driving around the streets and alleys of Florence, leaving a clear map of the city in her mind, much more accurate than any land for sale on the street.
As dusk fell, Li Jia and Angel arrived at the airport and boarded a plane bound for Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. "Little Scorpion really knows how to pick a place. Thinking about it, this really is the most suitable place for him, hehe," Li Jia said with a smile, sitting on the plane and looking at Angel.
"Yes. Little Scorpion is a legendary figure in the underground arms industry now. Anyone who owns a weapon he modified is practically someone to brag about. His craftsmanship is as good as ever. Master, that bow you have is one of his most prized creations." Angel's expression was complicated as she spoke of Little Scorpion. It was a kind of appreciation, but there was also a hint of distance in that appreciation. In short, it seemed like Little Scorpion liked her, but she wasn't interested in him at all.
After listening to Angel's words, Li Jia didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and then looked out the cabin window. The endless white clouds rolled around, as if brewing a storm.
Baghdad is probably the most war-torn city on Earth. When the plane landed, heavy rain began to fall over Baghdad. By the time Li Jia and Angel walked out of the airport, the rain was pouring down!
Looking at the heavy rain outside the airport, Li Jia gave Angel a wry smile and said, "Let's go, there aren't many good means of transportation available here right now."
