The first day of the Gambling Festival was plagued with mishaps. If the Korean ruckus on the Victoria Princess Ship was just a minor episode, then the sudden disappearance of the Gambling God Ship and the King Tiras around the Sea Palace shocked everyone.
Undoubtedly, this Gambling Festival was a debacle. Someone wanted to sabotage the stage of the three territories' underworld, and they did it brutally. If this matter wasn't handled properly, the triad's name in Asia could be erased. As Lord of Insects had said, the triad would become a whore at everyone's mercy, and that would leave no one a decent life.
Now there are many powerful underworld forces in Asia: to the east, Japan's People's Association; to the north, Korea's Tai Chi Association; to the south, Southeast Asia's Nanyue Gang and Orthopedic Alliance. Any of these forces alone could surpass the triad of the three territories.
