The meeting place agreed upon between the Taizi Club and the United Hearts Gang was within a secret club, which, on the surface, appeared quite ordinary; but its true owner was none other than the premier red-blooded family, the Ye Family!

Thus, both the members of the Taizi Club and the United Hearts Gang felt reassured because causing trouble here was undeniably tantamount to slapping the face of the Ye Family members, and to offend the Ye Family was almost to offend all of Huaxia!

When the time came, representatives from both sides entered the meeting hall. Representing the United Hearts Gang was Situ Wushui, while Ying Changyu represented the Taizi Club. The highest leaders of both sides did not attend, which gave the meeting a somewhat profound implication.

"Situ Wushui, I have long admired your great reputation!" Ying Changyu greeted with a bow, "You truly are a man of impressive stature and extraordinary bearing!"

"Where, where, I have also long admired the fame of Ying Strategist, and to see you today fills me with respect!" Situ Wushui also said with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ying Changyu, with a piercing gaze fixed on Situ Wushui, spoke in a somewhat chilly tone, "Situ Wushui, our families were originally allies, but the actions you took before have left some rather chilling sentiments."

Situ Wushui raised his eyebrows, "I'm not sure which incident Ying Strategist is referring to? If you're talking about my visit to Wei Meizi, then you've really misunderstood me!"

Ying Changyu spoke indifferently, "I've misunderstood you? I'd like to hear how exactly."

Situ Wushui spoke with a smile, "Everyone is well aware that the unification of the Yanjing Underground World is an inevitable trend, and the Taizi Club needs us, the United Hearts Gang, as representatives. We, too, are very willing!

However, Ying Strategist should clearly understand, having been operating in Yanjing for hundreds of years, Fierce Flame Hall has contributed significantly to the liberation of Yanjing. Thus, our Gang Leader is quite reluctant to obliterate Fierce Flame Hall entirely!"

Ying Strategist coldly remarked, "I thought Gang Leader Lei didn't seem like someone who is soft-hearted."

"That's because you don't understand our Gang Leader!" Situ Wushui brazenly lied, "Our Gang Leader Lei most admires heroic figures. Although Wei Meizi is a woman, it's undeniable that she is very capable! After all, for over a decade, neither of our families has been able to completely conquer Fierce Flame Hall, and that's a fact!"

"As for such a figure, our Gang Leader naturally does not wish her to vanish without a trace, hence he sent me to persuade Wei Meizi, hoping she would consider the greater good and not lead Fierce Flame Hall into total ruin."

A slight sneer appeared on Ying Changyu's lips, "What did Lady Wei say then?"

Situ Wushui sighed, "Unfortunately, my Gang Leader's high hopes were treated by Wei Meizi like discarded shoes; it looks like Wei Meizi is indeed limited by her gender, truly a pity!"

Watching Situ Wushui's performance, Ying Changyu spoke indifferently, "It seems we indeed misunderstood Gang Leader Lei then, but I wonder now what does Gang Leader Lei intend to do? Will he continue to recruit Fierce Flame Hall, or..."

Situ Wushui laughed, "How could that be? In our Underworld, strength reigns supreme. Since Wei Meizi fails to see the situation, I think we can help her come to a stark realization. What do you say, Ying Strategist?"

Ying Changyu smiled slightly, "That is exactly what I have in mind, but we have one demand! Wei Meizi must be handed over to our Crown Prince."

Situ Wushui's eyes narrowed, and he spoke slowly, "The day Fierce Flame Hall falls will be the day Wei Meizi is captured!"

The Taizi Club had previously attempted to eliminate Wei Meizi, during which her three personal female bodyguards were killed, and Wei Meizi herself nearly died. This was what Situ Wushui and his group were relying on, as the Taizi Club could never possibly cooperate with Fierce Flame Hall!

So from the very start, the Taizi Club could only rely on the United Hearts Gang! This was the source of Situ Wushui's confidence!

Hearing Situ Wushui's assurance, Ying Changyu smiled faintly.

Though outwardly, the Taizi Club was worried about Wei Meizi's retaliation, for Ye Tian, Wei Meizi's vengeance meant nothing!

How to control the United Hearts Gang was the crucial concern for Ye Tian!

Since the powers above wanted to unify the Yanjing Underground World, they naturally wouldn't allow the rise of another major power; they must seize this influence. If Ye Tian were to directly control the United Hearts Gang, it would be akin to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which was unwise!

Thus, from the very beginning, Ye Tian was clear that how much the Taizi Club sacrificed didn't matter; what was important was to make the people above realize the extent of the Taizi Club's sacrifice!

The more the Taizi Club sacrificed, the more the people above would appreciate and value Ye Tian—an aspect that Ye Tian cared about deeply!

Killing Wei Meizi seemed unimportant! If Fierce Flame Hall were to fall, Wei Meizi would likewise be worthless!

Yet, as Situ Wushui mentioned, Fierce Flame Hall made significant sacrifices to liberate Yanjing, a sacrifice unknown to outsiders! Although Situ Wushui vaguely understood this, he did not take it to heart!

However, Ying Changyu knew a secret: back in the day, the Patriarch of the Ye Family had been saved by the Hall Master of Fierce Flame Hall. This was a secret of the Ye Family, which Ye Tian learned about by sheer coincidence!

Securing Wei Meizi was tantamount to holding a significant favor from the Ye Family! Although Ye Tian looked down upon the Ye Family, he could not deny the considerable influence the Ye Family currently wielded in Huaxia!

And the United Hearts Gang, the very force that would destroy Fierce Flame Hall, would irrevocably become despised by the Ye Family!

Two birds with one stone, even if Lei Lingfeng had extraordinary abilities, he'd no choice but to become a knife in Ye Tian's hands!

The conversation between the two sides was heated. Ying Changyu quickly agreed to some conditions of the United Hearts Gang, but he also imposed some stringent conditions on them.

After careful consideration, Situ Wushui agreed to these stringent conditions.

With both parties' interests aligned, they swiftly reached an agreement. Within three days, before the end of the year, Fierce Flame Hall must be utterly destroyed! If dragged on further, the people above would start to have opinions!

"I hope our cooperation will be pleasant!" Situ Wushui said with a smile.

"I believe it will be, as our interests do not conflict!" Ying Changyu responded with a smile.

The two men shook hands, then simultaneously revealed meaningful smiles.
