The next day.
Inside a villa somewhere in Chun Prefecture.
Ma Fangshan lay in a comfortable, air-conditioned room, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows as he focused on a mobile game.
"Young master."
A man dressed as a butler respectfully pushed the door open and entered.
"How are things outside?"
"Little White Tiger and his whole crew took the day off today." The butler bowed slightly and said quietly, "Word came from Ice Prefecture that everyone from Black Mountain Town has left town. Three Sworn Sons have left Overlord Stronghold. They all seem to be heading for Chun Prefecture."
The corners of Ma Fangshan's mouth lifted. Everything was going as he had expected.
He enjoyed the feeling of controlling the entire situation.
A smug gleam flashed in his eyes.
"These two Little Lei Zis really won't put up with even the slightest slight." Ma Fangshan shifted into a more comfortable position. "They wield Overlord's might and have the Farbridge Group backing them. They have a fighting chance against the San Mu Group. Let them fight. The more chaos, the better. There's nothing I like more than watching tigers fight from a safe distance."
The San Mu Group.
Inside the tallest office building in Chun Prefecture.
The San Mu brothers sat before the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down over Chun Prefecture.
"The Dragon Kingdom truly is a magnificent land." San Mu Ichiro gazed at the thriving Chun Prefecture with admiration. "Such fine land should belong to our Kou Island. Why should the people of the Dragon Kingdom get to live on such vast lands while we're stuck on an island?"
"Brother, Chun Prefecture will be ours sooner or later."
San Mu Ichibashi held his Tachi in his arms, longing in his eyes. "We'll start with Chun Prefecture and swallow up the Dragon Kingdom."
