Kou Island.
At a fishing port.
A dozen or so small fishing boats slowly entered the harbor.
On deck, a man in a black trench coat with a ponytail stood with his hands on his hips.
Behind him stood a man with spiky hair and another with instant-noodle curls.
"Kou Island really stinks."
The ponytailed man fanned his nose.
Several bosses of Kou Island's local underworld, who had been waiting at the harbor, waved eagerly at him.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhongwu, with our Viper Group cooperating with a major Dragon Kingdom gang on smuggling this time, it won't be long before we control the whole island's smuggling business."
The two Ground Overlords exchanged knowing smiles.
A bright future beckoned.
The two stared expectantly at the ponytailed man aboard the boat.
Splash!
The fishing boat docked.
Wearing cowboy boots, the ponytailed man was the first to jump ashore.
The two Kou Island bosses hurried forward. "Welcome, Mr. Thirteen. We're truly honored that you've come to inspect Kou Island in person."
Zhongwu Liang bowed and excitedly extended his hand.
Thirteen gave it a light shake.
Then he turned, removed his glove, and tossed it into the sea.
"When our contact said he'd reached the biggest gang in the Dragon Kingdom, we didn't believe it. But now... it really is the Pao Ge Society. We've admired you for a long time."
Both men knew the Pao Ge Society's size.
With that connection, they would never lack stock, no matter what they wanted to smuggle.
"May I ask what goods you brought this time?"
The other Kou Island boss was a little more cautious and looked toward the fishing boat behind Thirteen.
"Some local specialties this time. Go inside and take a look."
Yawning, Thirteen pulled cigarettes from his pocket and slung his arms around
