The next day, Fang Yi didn’t go to the company, but went directly to Shen Binnan’s house.
"Stay at home these few days, don’t go anywhere," Fang Yi said with a serious expression.
Shen Binnan felt a stir in her heart and asked, "Are you about to make your move?"
Fang Yi nodded, "I said I would destroy the Black Water Alliance, and I will destroy the Black Water Alliance."
Shen Binnan originally thought he was joking, but seeing his demeanor, she realized he was serious. However, Shen Binnan knew the difficulty of the task; she was aware of the Black Water Alliance’s strength, and Fang Yi was only one man. How could he destroy the Black Water Alliance?
"You’re just one person, how can you destroy the Black Water Alliance? Are you planning to face the entire Black Water Alliance alone?" asked Shen Binnan.
"I have allied with the White Tiger Alliance," Fang Yi said. Now that he and Shen Binnan were on the same side, he saw no need to hide such matters from her and told her directly.
Shen Binnan’s expression changed, and after some thought, she said, "The White Tiger Alliance is a powerhouse in Moon City, and its Alliance Hierarch is a woman... It can’t be that..." As she spoke, she stared at Fang Yi with intense eyes, her gaze flickering.
With a stern face, Fang Yi said, "Shen Binnan, I’m warning you, don’t let your imagination run wild. There’s nothing between me and the woman from the White Tiger Alliance, you know that I only have eyes for you."
Shen Binnan said, "I’ve already seen your philandering ways. If you truly were devoted, the sun might as well rise from the west."
Fang Yi said, "Though I might be a flirt, you are the only one in my heart."
Shen Binnan couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, "Don’t you think it sounds cheesy when you talk ?"
Without any sense of shame, Fang Yi laughed heartily and said, "Show me your blush." What he really wanted to say was ’Let this master see your blush.’
Shen Binnan, with a cold expression, said, "Enough, let’s talk about serious matters. I can’t just stay at home and not go to the company these days. Once I leave the company, without someone at the helm, everything will fall apart. I must preside over the company’s affairs; I can only say that I will try to stay at home as much as possible."
When she mentioned ’try to stay at home,’ Fang Yi didn’t believe her. With Shen Binnan’s personality, if she were willing to stay at home, that would truly be a sign of the sun rising from the west.
So Fang Yi didn’t try to persuade her further, and instead, he told her some of his plans, so Shen Binnan would be prepared.
When leaving the villa, Fang Yi found Feng Wenhua.
"Brother Yi, if there’s anything you need, just command me, and I’ll accomplish it with all my might," Feng Wenhua said earnestly.
Fang Yi gave him a scrutinizing look and said indifferently, "Feng Wenhua, do you believe I could kill someone?"
Feng Wenhua was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Fang Yi’s words. After a moment of silence, Feng Wenhua said in a low voice, "I believe."
Fang Yi said, "Good to believe, I will be gone for a few days. If something happens to Shen Binnan upon my return, I can’t guarantee I won’t do something drastic in anger."
Feng Wenhua’s expression became grave. He had already witnessed Fang Yi’s ferocity, and hearing this warning now, a fear rose in his heart. He hastily said, "I had already planned to follow you, Brother Yi. Please watch my performance."
Fang Yi nodded and said nothing more.
In the afternoon, Fang Yi arrived at the headquarters of the White Tiger Alliance and met Bai Jingjing.
"How’s the preparation going?" Fang Yi asked as soon as he saw her.
Bai Jingjing, dressed in a sharp outfit, said, "Everything is ready. I’ve chosen the best practitioners from within the White Tiger Alliance and scrambled them into teams of three to five, each taking public transportation to head out, then meet up in Southern Domain City."
Fang Yi hummed in response, then noticed Bai Jingjing’s sharp outfit and frowned slightly, "Are you going too?"
Bai Jingjing said, "This matter is of great importance. As the Alliance Hierarch of the White Tiger Alliance, how could I not go? Don’t worry, although I have no ability to bind a chicken, with Meng Wei by my side, there will be no problems."
Since Bai Jingjing had already said as much, Fang Yi naturally couldn’t continue to persuade her not to go. Moreover, with Bai Jingjing as the Alliance Hierarch of the White Tiger Alliance, having her there would indeed better command the White Tiger Alliance gang members.
Fang Yi had never sparred with Meng Wei before, but judging by Meng Wei’s footwork and his lower body stance, Meng Wei was probably a practitioner, so Fang Yi didn’t need to worry about Bai Jingjing’s safety.
"Take this." Bai Jingjing suddenly handed over a token to Fang Yi, "This is the Token of the White Tiger Alliance. The gang members will regard this token as they would me. Once you’re there, you can command them."
Holding the token, Fang Yi had not expected Bai Jingjing to pull such a stunt and he couldn’t help but laugh, "You trust me that much?"
"If I didn’t trust you," Bai Jingjing said, "I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter. Besides... if I didn’t have some backbone, there’s no way I could sit in the seat of the Alliance Hierarch of the White Tiger Alliance."
Fang Yi sighed to himself. Bai Jingjing was indeed capable and courageous, a true heroine among women. If it weren’t for her being a woman, perhaps her achievements would be even greater.
After the discussion was concluded, Fang Yi left the headquarters of the White Tiger Alliance and started his journey to Southern Domain City.
Under the blazing sun with its fierce rays, a man with an umbrella arrived at the base of Longtu Group’s skyscraper.
The man had a very handsome face, tranquil as he held the umbrella as if afraid the sunlight would tan his skin.
"Hmm... Fang Yi, are you here? I wonder what your expression would be when you see me?" The handsome man was Phantom; holding the umbrella, he walked into the building and headed straight for the Longtu Group headquarters at the top floor.
Phantom saw busy urban professionals and fell silent for a moment. During his silence, many curious glances were drawn his way, most of which were from women.
"So beautiful, and with such long legs, just like a Korean oppa!"
"I can hardly breathe..."
Soon, one woman after another was swooning over him.
But Phantom was unmoved. It was the same abroad as it was at home. However, he suddenly thought that if that guy were to encounter a scene filled with such infatuation, he’d likely be drooling with joy.
"Hey!" Just then, a young girl approached Phantom.
Phantom glanced at the girl, pausing particularly to scan over her chest.
"Who are you looking for?" Huo Xiaoxuan approached like a concerned person, though internally, she was already musing about this individual – was he a man or a woman, with such short hair, yet looking prettier than some women?
Seeing the work badge hanging from Huo Xiaoxuan’s chest, Phantom smiled and responded, "Fang Yi."
Huo Xiaoxuan was shocked at once, "You’re looking for that pervert!"
Phantom couldn’t help but laugh again, "Speaking of which... he really is a bit of a pervert, isn’t he?"
Huo Xiaoxuan’s eyes turned strange, leaning in a bit, she asked, "He hasn’t taken advantage of you, has he?" In Huo Xiaoxuan’s mind, bizarre images suddenly sprang up.
The corner of Phantom’s mouth twitched, "No."
Huo Xiaoxuan immediately deflated, "That’s such a shame."
"Where’s he now?" Phantom asked.
"Oh, since today he hasn’t been to the company. I called him and he said he went to Southern Domain City to take care of some important business and would be back in a few days," Huo Xiaoxuan said.
"Important business..." Phantom murmured to himself.
The long-distance bus from Moon City to Southern Domain City arrived in the evening. Fang Yi got off the bus, left the station, hailed a taxi, and gave a destination. The taxi sped away.
Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived in front of an ordinary hotel.
