Zhou Muchen and the others had originally thought that Liu Yutong would bring at most a few dozen elites, carefully selected from the Ten Thousand Dragons Society, for the outdoor training exercise.
After all, this kind of training wasn't something just anyone could endure.
It was like in the military; those who truly undergo rigorous field training are often the one-in-ten-thousand special forces soldiers.
Although the Ten Thousand Dragons Society had many members—of course, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, only heard that there were many—even so, finding one person with strong physical fitness suitable for such training out of several dozen would be considered good.
But now... what on earth was this situation?
When the three of them clearly saw the scene outside, their mouths involuntarily fell open, their expressions replaced by shock and awe.
Even for well-traveled top-tier young masters like them, this was the first time they had witnessed such a grand spectacle.
The scene on the broad road outside the villa was nothing short of astonishing.
The once quiet street now looked like a staging ground for some large-scale military exercise.
A seemingly endless motorcade was lined up on both sides. Leading the way were over a dozen uniformly painted, large luxury coaches with heavily tinted windows, preceded by more than ten identical black sedans.
But that wasn't the most frightening part.
The most frightening part was the dense crowd of Ten Thousand Dragons Society members in matching black suits standing beside the vehicles.
A sea of black-clad people and a sea of black vehicles almost filled the entire street, stretching all the way to the distant turn at the intersection. As far as the eye could see, there was only an unnerving, dense black that seemed capable of swallowing all light, with no end in sight.
Even though they were standing still, an overwhelming sense of oppression washed over them.
This was damn near a reinforced battalion assembling and awaiting orders!
In short, the impact of this scene thoroughly shocked Zhou Muchen and his friends.
It was terrifying!
Were these still the loud, tattoo-covered gangsters they knew of in their minds?
Or were the thugs and hoodlums they had seen before, and the gangsters in movies, the fake ones?
Was this what it truly meant to be part of the underworld?
Especially the scene they witnessed next finally made them understand why Li Xiaohui had joined the Ten Thousand Dragons Society.
As Liu Yutong walked out, the atmosphere shifted dramatically.
She had changed her clothes. She wore the suit from earlier, the one with the dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs, and casually draped a black overcoat over it.
Her hair was simply tied up in a bun.
When she appeared before this black dragon, the entire scene's focus instantly converged on her alone.
She walked forward step by step, arriving before the assembled ranks. Her gaze swept over the seemingly endless formation, her eyes resembling those of a commander inspecting troops about to embark on a campaign.
And where her gaze fell, that oppressive black dragon moved!
The young man at the very front, whose aura was the most composed and stern, sharply straightened his already ramrod-straight back. His right fist struck heavily against his left chest, over his heart, producing a dull thump.
Immediately after, the second row, the third row... like falling dominoes, the motion of striking their chests rapidly spread backward!
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
A thousand people struck their hearts with their fists, their movements unnervingly synchronized!
Then, these thousand black-clad young men uniformly bowed their heads and loudly greeted in unison.
"Eldest Miss!!!"
"Eldest Miss!!!"
"..."
Three words!
Just three words!
Yet they erupted like thunder from a clear sky, carrying an indescribable fervor, resounding powerfully in all directions!
Witnessing this, Zhou Muchen, Lu Hong, and Gu Yebai felt goosebumps instantly erupt all over their bodies, a shiver like an electric current shooting straight to the crowns of their heads!
They had never seen such a display in their lives. This impact was far more shocking than any movie special effect!
In fact, a faint trace of fear towards Liu Yutong subtly arose in their hearts.
Originally, they had always looked down on Liu Yutong and her Ten Thousand Dragons Society from a superior perspective, not truly taking her or her power seriously.
Even after later acknowledging her as their big sister due to Li Xiaohui and her promise to help them make money, subconsciously, they still believed they had the ability to bring her and the Ten Thousand Dragons Society down at any time.
It wasn't until now that they realized how gravely mistaken they were.
Liu Yutong commanded such a powerful organization. Even if they had the ability to bring it down, they would undoubtedly face retaliation. Their own outcome probably wouldn't be good either.
Just look at the expressions of these thousand people. Their respect and loyalty towards Liu Yutong were clearly heartfelt, even reaching a point of fervor.
If something really happened, what wouldn't they be capable of?
Only now did they truly realize that for Liu Yutong, a woman, to ascend to this leadership position and make the Ten Thousand Dragons Society the most renowned organization in Pearl City, it wasn't merely because she knew how to make money, nor was it as simple as it appeared on the surface...
They had still vastly underestimated her.
Facing this mountain-crashing, tsunami-like greeting, Liu Yutong's face remained calm and unruffled. She simply raised her hand and made a simple downward gesture.
Instantly!
All sound ceased abruptly!
She didn't waste words, instead turning to look at Zhou Muchen and the other two. "Let's go."
Just a few words, yet they made Zhou Muchen, Lu Hong, and Gu Yebai instinctively straighten their backs.
"Yes, Sister Yutong!"
Without even realizing it themselves, a note of respect and nervousness had entered their tone.
After Zhou Muchen and the other two got into the car they had driven over in,
Liu Yutong then walked towards the black Maybach.
The moment she pulled open the car door and got in, that black tide suddenly stirred.
Swish!
Dozens of people opened car doors in unison, then, like streams of black water branching off, they boarded their vehicles one after another.
Next, the engines of all vehicles roared to life almost simultaneously with a low, powerful growl. Red taillights lit up in sequence, like countless crimson eyes opening in the darkness as a dragon suddenly awoke, fierce and terrifying.
Then the motorcade began to move. The massive stream of vehicles, like a black torrent of steel, carried an unstoppable momentum as it drove onto the main road leading to the highway.
Along the way,
Zhou Muchen and the others, looking at the grand procession in the rearview mirror, couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit.
You had to admit, it was seriously super cool!
During the gap while the motorcade was queuing to enter the highway, Gu Yebai called Shen Hao, who was in Danan City, wanting to tell them that the big sister was coming.
Of course, he didn't plan to mention the thousand black-clad young men following behind, intending to give them a surprise and thoroughly shock them.
But the call didn't connect.
Then he tried calling Zhu Silin and Bai Shisui, but still no one answered.
"That's strange? Why aren't any of these three answering their phones?"
"Could it be that dog Shen Hao took them clubbing again?"
He grumbled as he put down his phone, thinking he'd call Shen Hao and the others again once they reached Danan City.
Just as the motorcade was about to arrive in Danan City, Shen Hao finally called back.
But barely a few words into the call, Gu Yebai's face abruptly changed.
