While Qin Fang was pondering over his future steps, the villa belonging to the Green Gang boss Boss Kui in the Tangchen Mansion Area of Jiangzhou had something quite different happening.

"Elder Tang, please come in..."

Elder Alai, dressed in a simple green robe, stood quietly at the villa entrance, courteously welcoming a middle-aged man in his fifties into the villa.

If Qin Fang were here, he might recognize this man as his enemy, Tang Sect Elder Tang Huaiyuan, who was also the father of Tang Nan, whom Qin Fang had killed.

Tang Huaiyuan looked curiously at the seemingly old and frail elder and sensed the aura belonging to a grandmaster-level expert emanating from him, making his expression somewhat peculiar and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Elder Alai's strength reaching grandmaster level was not surprising; after all, Boss Kui's identity was very special, and the people around him would naturally be very powerful experts.

What truly surprised Tang Huaiyuan was that Elder Alai's aura, although of a grandmaster level, felt extremely weak, as if he had suffered a very serious injury.

Of course, such injuries were old wounds from many years ago, having never fully healed, which is why he gave off a frail impression.

Nonetheless, these were Elder Alai's issues, and although Tang Huaiyuan found them curious, he said nothing and simply nodded slightly before stepping inside the villa.

"Elder Tang, pleased to meet you..."

Almost as soon as he entered the villa, a stocky elder enthusiastically greeted Tang Huaiyuan with a radiant smile that made him look like a kind and amiable grandparent, making it hard to imagine that such a person was the underground king of Jiangzhou, this eastern metropolis.

"You're too kind, Boss Kui. It's humbling and intimidating, really..."

Though Tang Huaiyuan was proud, he wasn't reckless; otherwise, he wouldn't have maintained his position as an elder for long.

Moreover, since coming down from the mountains, the Tang Sect had suffered considerable losses, making them understand that it was no longer the era of the Tang Sect retreating deep into the mountains.

While martial artists remain formidable in society, they are not invincible, and even a grandmaster-level expert like him can be easily killed by a regular person...

The elder before him was ordinary, and Tang Huaiyuan could kill him easily with a finger, yet he dared not underestimate him.

Not to mention Elder Alai who had just opened the door for him; despite his injuries, his strength was likely not far beneath Tang Huaiyuan's.

More importantly, Boss Kui, though ordinary, could command thousands to besiege the Tang Sect disciples with just a word...

The number of Tang Sect disciples he had with him was not large, but nearly all were grandmaster-level elite disciples; if thousands besieged them, even a grandmaster-level expert like Tang Huaiyuan would be reduced to a pulp.

Thus, although Tang Huaiyuan internally held little regard for the weak elder before him, he outwardly expressed utmost respect.

Tang Huaiyuan concealed his disdain well, but it was hard to escape Boss Kui's observant eyes, given his decades of navigating the underworld and reaching his current position. Understanding human nature, he could not miss Tang Huaiyuan's subtle cues.

However, Boss Kui appeared oblivious, his demeanor unchanged, and very warmly invited Tang Huaiyuan to sit down.

"I wonder what brings Elder Tang here today?"

After some brief pleasantries, they naturally moved on to the main topic, with Tang Huaiyuan initiating the visit, rather than Boss Kui reaching out to him.

Boss Kui's special status meant few could reach him, but Tang Huaiyuan, being a Tang Sect Elder with significant standing, managed to contact Boss Kui through a prominent figure.

"Actually, I'm here to discuss a deal with Boss Kui..."

Looking at the elderly man before him, Tang Huaiyuan's expression steadied slightly, with a hint of a smile, and he courteously stated his intent.

As soon as he spoke, Boss Kui couldn't help but frown, saying nothing, only silently gazing at Tang Huaiyuan.

"To be specific, I'm here to help solve a problem for Boss Kui!"

This response was within Tang Huaiyuan's expectations, so he promptly added another sentence.

"Oh, solving a problem for me? I wasn't aware I had such a problem..."

Boss Kui was momentarily taken aback but seeing Tang Huaiyuan's confident demeanor, he appeared somewhat puzzled.

Having reached his current position, Boss Kui lived a life of ongoing success; though he couldn't openly display his power in Jiangzhou, he was in essence its underground king, with even prominent figures in the official world showing him respect...
