While Qin Fang was puzzled about who the black hand behind this matter was, Fan Xian had already driven everyone away. Although Qin Fang had heard the news, it made it even clearer that this matter had nothing to do with Fan Xian.

The few underlings found were nothing more than ordinary followers and bodyguards. They might be able to bully regular people, but thinking of dealing with Qin Fang, they really weren't worth mentioning.

Moreover, the people who attacked him on that boat were obviously seasoned bandits who had killed many. And all of them had been shot dead by him, with no survivors left, which made them nothing like Fan Xian's people…

After excluding Fan Xian and Zhou Fengliu, Qin Fang still didn't know who was behind it.

Yet, faintly, Qin Fang felt that the black hand should still be on Nanshan Island, but he just didn't know who it was.

Qin Fang had many enemies, both on the Mainland and Hong Kong Island, and even in places like Anlang, Lu Song, Japan, and so on…

But those who could have followed all the way here seemed to be not many. Thinking it over, Qin Fang could not figure out who it could be.

Unable to think of anyone, Qin Fang decided not to waste any more brain cells on it, pretending that nothing had happened, quietly awaiting the next move by the black hand.

If one plan fails, there will certainly be a second and a third, and Qin Fang can only wait for the opponent to make their move.

Unfortunately, until Qin Fang and his group left Nanshan Island, the black hand did not launch another attack. It's unknown whether they had no people or hadn't found the right opportunity…

The three-day trip to Nanshan Island eventually came to a satisfactory end. Although many people felt it wasn't particularly satisfying, at least the Nanshan Island Resort had left a place in the heart of this wealthy young master, and Young Master Song's planning this time was considered relatively successful.

Qin Fang and his group boarded Kong Er's luxury yacht to return, marking the end of this trip, and they were heading towards the most important festival for Dragon Country People.

The Spring Festival is a time for reunion, for the whole family to gather together.

For the Qu Family, it was the first time in over twenty years that the family was so complete, and they were all very excited. But for the Qin Family, it was another matter.

Although they acknowledged the Qu Family, it did not mean Qin Fang had forgiven them; at least, the knot in his heart was difficult to remove.

Not only him, Qin Qing was the same; although she kept a smile, beneath her gaze lay deep loneliness.

Such a scene, falling into Qin Fang's eyes, also made Qin Fang very depressed. He really wanted to tell his mother… his father might still be alive!

But in the end, he didn't say it, first because he still knew nothing about Qin Tiannan's situation on Devil's Island, and second because he didn't know when he could rescue his father Qin Tiannan…

Originally, Qin Fang didn't have much hope of rescuing his father, mainly due to some strength disparities and the treacherousness of Devil's Island.

But the return of Little Dragon significantly increased Qin Fang's chances of success.

Qin Fang's strength had grown immensely, and the Little Dragon lurking within Qin Fang had greatly benefited as well. The rapid growth of Little Dragon was thanks to Qin Fang's pure True Qi nourishment, and also the warming effects of the Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva…

The Golden Dragon is the king among the Dragon Clan.

This Golden Dragon Saliva, as the name implies, is the saliva of the Golden Dragon, though the saliva of the Golden Dragon clearly couldn't constitute a superb elixir; it's merely a metaphor since the Dragon Clan doesn't actually exist in this world.

However, it illustrates the power of this superb elixir from another angle.

Little Dragon is a true member of the Dragon Clan, and it's hard to say which is superior when compared to the Golden Dragon. At least Qin Fang doesn't know, but this superb elixir greatly benefits it.

If it could directly absorb it, Qin Fang would want to get more for it to feast on…

Being nurtured by Qin Fang's True Qi, Little Dragon grows very fast. Although external Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is quite scarce, it can store some itself, and this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is enough for it to stay outside for some time.

This is also why Little Dragon can be out for so long this time…

Where exactly Devil's Island is located, Qin Fang doesn't know. In the entire underground world, it is a secret. Many who have been there don't even know either.

Rumor has it that it's an isolated island in the middle of a vast sea, which is clearly good news for Qin Fang, for as long as it's in the sea, Qin Fang's chances of success will increase a lot.

Little Dragon is a sea overlord; its powerful water control skills will undoubtedly help a lot. Once he finds his father Qin Tiannan, they can leave directly via the sea route.

On Devil's Island, all modern positioning facilities for humans will fail, but Little Dragon is born with the ability to guide directions. Unless Devil's Island doesn't exist in this world, Little Dragon can easily leave from any corner of the ocean…

Qin Fang's confidence has increased a lot, so he is secretly contemplating snapping up a spot when it comes time for the underground world's selection to enter Devil's Island.

His mother's age is increasing, and her relatives are so few. Now, Old Madame Qu's lifespan is almost over; it won't be long before she passes away. At that time, Qin Qing will inevitably be very sad. Elder Master Qu has hurt her heart, has not yet received her forgiveness, so counting around, her relatives are only Qin Fang and the husband who disappeared two decades ago, Qin Tiannan…

Thinking this way, Qin Fang's urge to bring back his father becomes increasingly strong.

However, this still needs careful consideration; it's not something he can do just because he wants to. The underground world is not somewhere governed by his words alone, at least not until he successfully crowns as King of Assassins...

The Spring Festival is a time for reunion, but for Qin Fang, it's only so-so. Although he symbolically attended the Qu Family's banquet, his enthusiasm was obviously not very high, which many at the scene could see.

Fortunately, nothing unpleasant happened; at least Second Young Master Qu, Qu Yuanliang, didn't dare stir up trouble… his injuries hadn't fully healed, so he naturally didn't want new ones.

Yet from Qu Yuanliang's gaze, it was clear that this guy was still very hostile to Qin Fang… which was within Qin Fang's expectations. If Qu Yuanliang behaved overly friendly, Qin Fang would be more on alert instead.

A few days later, the Old Madame's birthday celebration was gradually approaching…

The Qu Family is one of the Ten Great Families; the Old Madame Qu's birthday feast, being her last, is naturally very grand.

Reportedly, the Qu Family plans to host a grand banquet for relatives and friends, with a continuous feast of at least over three hundred tables…

This birthday banquet was not held at the Qu Family Manor but at the old Qu Family residence, the birthplace of the Qu Family. Years ago, it was entirely bought by the Qu Family, and the surrounding residents were old neighbors of the Qu Family. Although many have left or dispersed, many remain alive over these years, including not a few long-time employees of the Qu Corporation…

Eating the birthday banquet, distributing red packets, these are all given activities. But the real focus is, of course, the people from the Ten Great Families and many collaborators of the Qu Corporation…

Harbor Island Intercontinental Hotel.

Old Madame Qu's grand birthday, the hotel's top three floors of banquet halls were booked entirely for seven days, with the cost of just this one event soaring to tens of millions, showcasing the scale of this occasion, unlike anything mere businessmen could match…

The Old Madame's birthday banquet was very grand, but not everyone was entitled to attend. Even the invitation cards sent out by the Qu Family had different designs, divided into three tiers, corresponding to the three floors…

Though they were all guests, there were distinctions in their identities. The family heads from the Ten Great Families naturally belonged in the top floor banquet hall, while the next tier could only be on the floor below, and some that were just there to eat couldn't enjoy equality and could only be on the bottom floor.

Likewise, some of Qu Corporation's collaborators, such as company shareholders, both major and minor, and presidents and vice presidents of different branches, also had to be treated accordingly, as not all could be treated equally.

Some of the top guests, such as those from the Ten Great Families and some company shareholders, and senior executives were to be hosted on the top floor.

For such a large-scale event, the Qu Family naturally arranged for professionals to organize and prepare everything in an orderly manner without any confusion.

The Qu Family could thus free themselves up to focus on attending to the guests who came for the birthday banquet.

Even though Qin Fang didn't acknowledge being a Qu Family member, his mother, Qin Qing, did, so Qin Fang assisted on the lowest floor, which was mainly for the younger generation of the Hong Kong Island elite families, with reception handled by a few from the Qu Family's third generation.

These included Eldest Brother Qu Yuancheng, Second Young Master Qu Yuanliang, The Third Qu Yuanqiu, and Fourth Brother Qu Yuanrui… and Qin Fang, an ad-hoc helper, was roped in as well. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to subscribe.)
