Three years later.
Three years had passed since the journey to the Death Caverns.
Over those three years, Chun Prefecture had seen rapid development.
The Ma Family had shifted its focus to the Capital, and the European Capitalist Faction had temporarily withdrawn from politics. Chun Prefecture faced no more threats.
Above, it had White Garment's support and the Guan Family's protection. Below, it had his brother-in-law the Southwest King, the Pao Ge Society, and the Ji Family as staunch allies.
In both its public resources and its strength on the streets, Chun Prefecture had reached its peak.
With the added support of Lu's world, Chun Prefecture's strength had reached first-rate standards.
Although it could not match the foundations of the Four Great Clans, everyone knew Chun Prefecture had become a force to be reckoned with.
Barring any surprises, Chun Prefecture would become the next great clan.

Inside Eight-Nine Prefecture.
Little White Tiger sat before a pile of documents, wearing a suit and glasses without lenses.
This was the new image Xiao Yuan had specially designed for him.
The brothers' status had changed, so naturally, they had to start taking care of their appearance.
He was not the only one. Old Ninth, Hi Dog, and the others had all been forced to wear glasses and tailored black suits.
The Golden Skull made of pure gold on their chests was Chun Prefecture's badge, originating from Overlord Stronghold's emblem.
Xiao Yuan had personally designed this badge too, dividing it into four grades: gold, silver, copper, and iron.
Gold represented Chun Prefecture's highest leadership. Only Little White Tiger, Old Ninth, Xiao Yuan, and Overlord could wear these badges.
Next came silver, for the group's senior officers: False Eye, Third Uncle, the twelve sworn brothers, and others.
After that came the copper badges
