Tang Guosheng, Yi Zhongming, Du Pingyuan.
These three were all powerful figures in the northern eastern part of the country.
If one were to solely consider their status and position, they were in no way inferior to the top families of other provinces, perhaps even surpassing them.
Especially Du Pingyuan of the Du Family, although he only presided over Hei Province, over thirty years ago he was an existence that reverberated mightily throughout the entire northeastern region.
The Du Family took a cut of all the trade across the entire border area, and the Russian Mafia, the underground forces of the Republic, as well as Japan's Yamaguchi Group, tried countless times to breach Xia Country's borders or to penetrate through maritime trade, all to be repelled by Du Pingyuan.
How could everyone not be shocked when such a legendary figure appeared?
It was just that, for some reason, Du Pingyuan had hardly shown himself in the past thirty years.
