After the incident with the Divine Eagle Gang, Star Han once again gathered the key members of the Dragon Kill Association. Without saying much, he waited for them to assemble and directly announced, "I've thought about it for a long time. Wu Chengming was right that I am not suitable to be the leader of the Dragon Kill Association. In truth, I don't understand much about the affairs of the Dragon Kill Association, and I rarely do anything. Therefore, I have made a decision to hand over the position of the association's leader to Sun Zihao. As for how to deal with Wu Chengming, let Sun Zihao handle it. From now on, I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Dragon Kill Association."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others erupted in protest. Sun Zihao hurriedly said, "Master, how can you resign from the position of the leader just because of a remark from Wu Chengming? We all respect you. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. Now you say you're stepping down, how can that be?"
"Yes, yes, I only respect you, Master!" Liu Qinwei shouted.
The others chimed in, urging Star Han not to resign. Star Han looked at everyone, feeling somewhat moved. It was true that he hadn't done much within the Dragon Kill Association, yet they still trusted him so much.
However, this didn't change his mind. The experience with the Divine Eagle Gang had left a deep impression on him. A large gang like that, having gone through so many trials and tribulations, wouldn't just disintegrate without a trace. Life was transient, like the autumn leaves falling. Why bother clinging to these trivial matters?
Although the Hua family had caused him harm, it wasn't enough to bring down the association. It was only a matter of time. As Zhou Botong said to Guo Jing on Peach Blossom Island, "Actually, you don't need to bother about studying some broken laws or mastering certain martial arts. Just compare your lifespan with these enemies. Heaven will take care of dealing with them on your behalf." Zhou Botong's words might not be completely comprehensible, but they held some truth. With this in mind, the pent-up frustration in Star Han's chest dissipated completely.

He then thought about what he had been doing all these years and what it was for. Being the leader of the Dragon Kill Association no longer held any significance. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he didn't need to be the leader of the Dragon Kill Association.
After everyone spoke for a while and saw that Star Han remained unresponsive, it seemed that Star Han had already made up his mind. Sun Zihao understood this and said, "Alright, I agree to temporarily act as the leader of the Dragon Kill Association. If you return one day, the position will still be yours. I am just temporarily filling in for you. The true leader of the Dragon Kill Association will always be you, Star Han. If not, we might as well disband the Dragon Kill Association. Furthermore, until you return, if you need the Dragon Kill Association to exert its strength, we will fully support you."
Seeing that Sun Zihao agreed and didn't want to disband the Dragon Kill Association, which was, after all, Star Han's blood and sweat, Star Han accepted Sun Zihao's suggestion immediately. He announced, "From now on, Sun Zihao is the leader of the association. I hope everyone will obey his orders just as you did mine before. This is also my hope."
The others realized that the matter had come to this point and had nothing more to say. Yu Ling had remained silent all along and now said, "As for us, we don't care. We sisters will always stand by your side. We made a vow in the beginning, and we can't change it now. Whether you are the leader or not, it doesn't matter to us."
Star Han was speechless. Who asked him to make them swear an oath back then? Now it had come to this. But at least he didn't have to be the leader of the Dragon Kill Association anymore. At this moment, Star Han remembered something and asked Sun Zihao, "Now that you are the leader, how do you plan to deal with Wu Chengming? I want to know!"
"Since he has betrayed the association, he is no longer one of us. However, considering his contributions during these days, we'll just expel him from the association. What do you think?" Sun Zihao said.
"I have no objection. You can handle it as you see fit. I am no longer in charge of affairs," Star Han replied, satisfied with this approach.
"Alright, then I announce that from now on, Wu Chengming is no longer the leader of our gang."
Star Han didn't take anything with him from the Dragon Kill Association, except for the money he had initially invested, which amounted to about one million. This amount wasn't significant for the current Dragon Kill Association.
That's how Star Han ended his first venture in society.
