The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 227: Strengthening Oneself (1)_1

Even though Situ Xin had wanted to leave The Dark Division in her previous life, she ended up being killed by one of her own teammates. But she still had feelings for The Dark Division; after all, it was where she grew up, where she learned all her skills, and it was her home in her last life.

Situ Xin knew that if she didn’t present some compelling evidence today to prove her capability of taking over The Dark Division, the two old masters at home would definitely clench their teeth and refuse to agree.

After pondering for a moment, Situ Xin grit her teeth and said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, I understand everything you’ve said. But, you must also believe that your granddaughter, your maternal granddaughter, is capable of taking over The Dark Division." Situ Xin paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Grandpa, Grandfather, there’s something I have to tell you, please, prepare yourselves mentally for it." With that, Situ Xin blinked her large eyes, looking at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

After exchanging glances, Old Master Loo tilted his head towards Situ Xin and said, "Go ahead." With Old Master Loo’s permission, Situ Xin said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, you must have heard of Dragon Society, right?" It was only when she mentioned Dragon Society that she remembered having Baibai send Situ Muli there. She had told Situ Muli she would visit him in Dragon Society the moment she returned to Capital City. But because of The Dark Division’s affairs, Situ Xin had completely forgotten about it. She thought to herself that after resolving this matter, she must make a trip to Dragon Society.

"Dragon Society?" Old Master Situ wondered. They were discussing The Dark Division, so why bring up Dragon Society? However, although he was puzzled, he followed Situ Xin’s line of thought and said, "I have indeed heard of Dragon Society. Not only have I heard of it, but we also specifically investigated Dragon Society."

"Yes, Dragon Society is the biggest gang in Capital City. Dragon Society began to flourish after the son of the former leader, Xia Yujie, took over following his father’s death. Gradually, it solidified its position as the lead gang in Capital City. Rumor has it that Xia Yujie’s ability to take over Dragon Society and its prosperity in Capital City, all come from the support of the mysterious Young Miss of the society. Aside from a few high-level members of Dragon Society, no one knows what she looks like, only that she’s young and a woman. The government even sent people to investigate, but came up empty-handed," Old Master Loo said with a hint of curiosity as he spoke of Dragon Society’s Young Miss.

Seeing her grandfather’s curiosity about the Young Miss of Dragon Society, Situ Xin wickedly thought, "I wonder what expression Grandfather would make if he knew that I am that Young Miss."

"In recent years, the growth of Dragon Society has caught the attention of the government. The government, worried that Dragon Society might interfere with their governance, sent spies into the industries under Dragon Society’s name. The intention was for the spies to find some illegal activities to use as a pretext to crack down on Dragon Society. Unexpectedly, despite being known as a gang, none of Dragon Society’s businesses were involved in any illegal activities; the spies had been undercover for so long yet hadn’t found a single illegal operation."

Upon hearing that, Situ Xin thought to herself, of course, who else is behind the scenes offering strategies? She knew that prominence brings scrutiny, so when Xia Yujie first took over Dragon Society, Situ Xin had given him a precautionary warning. Though she didn’t spell things out, Xia Yujie was smart enough to take her advice to heart, and, indeed, he conducted affairs in a way that left Situ Xin quite satisfied.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo discussed for a while and then stopped, turning to look at Situ Xin, "Hey, Baby, this doesn’t seem right, weren’t we discussing you taking over The Dark Division? How did the conversation shift to Dragon Society? Dragon Society has nothing to do with you taking over The Dark Division."

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo looked puzzledly at Situ Xin, waiting for her to clear up their confusion.

"How can you say it has nothing to do with it, Grandpa, Grandfather? Weren’t you both quite curious about who Dragon Society’s Young Miss is?" Situ Xin playfully teased them. Moreover, it was only in front of her family and friends that Situ Xin would show this playful side of a young girl; otherwise, when outside, she would either wear a proper smile all day long or have a cold expression on her face.

"Baby, don’t change the subject, we’re talking about whether you’re taking over The Dark Division," Old Master Loo said, his voice bearing traces of anxiety. Although he was also curious about the identity of Dragon Society’s Young Miss, what truly concerned him at the moment was how to convince his precious granddaughter to give up the idea of taking over The Dark Division.

"Grandfather, I’m not changing the subject. Listen to me," Situ Xin insisted, not paying any further heed to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, and bluntly stated, "I am that Young Miss of Dragon Society."

"Oh, you are the Young Miss of Drag—" Old Master Situ had begun to respond but stopped mid-sentence, coming to his senses. He widened his eyes and looked at Situ Xin, "Baby, what did you just say?"

"You mean to say, you are the Young Miss of Dragon Society?" Old Master Loo was more composed than Old Master Situ, though he was equally shocked.

"Yes, that’s what I said, you heard right," Situ Xin watched her grandfather and grandfather’s surprised expressions with amusement.

"But, Baby, how did you become the Young Miss of Dragon Society?" They were more astonished by this revelation than with Old Deng’s proposal for Situ Xin to take over The Dark Division.

"Ah, it was when I inadvertently saved the current leader of Dragon Society, Xia Yujie, and helped snatch Dragon Society back from the hands of the man who murdered his father. Since then, I’ve been offering strategies to Xia Yujie in the background, and from the moment I saved him, he has been calling me ’miss.’ Eventually, everyone began to address me as the ’Young Miss,’" Situ Xin explained nonchalantly.

"You saved Xia Yujie? Baby, you..." Although Situ Xin recounted casually, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo knew all too well that the struggle within The Underworld wasn’t so simple; it was fraught with danger, where one wrong move could mean losing your life.

But it wasn’t that Situ Xin was downplaying the event, rather such matters truly seemed insignificant in her eyes. Besides, the incident at the time was nothing a few Silver Needles couldn’t resolve. Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo wanted to add more, but Situ Xin stopped them, "Grandpa, Grandfather, I told you all this to show you that, although I might still be young, I am capable of taking over The Dark Division,"
