Star Han and Yu Long stood with their backs to Green Moon, engaging in a lengthy conversation as if they were unaware that Green Moon had already awakened. They fearlessly discussed matters concerning the Caide Faction.
Finally, Star Han expressed his thoughts on dealing with the members of the Caide Faction:
"I think we should let the leader of the Caide Faction go. After all, it's not easy for her to reach this point. But as for the others, I believe we can handle them. We, the Dragon Slaying Association, have suffered a great loss, and we can't let those people off so easily. I think it's best to hand them over to Liu Qinwei. He was the one who suffered at their hands. I believe Qinwei and his team should be awake by now."
"If you hand them over to Liu Qinwei, I think it would be better if they were dead," Yu Long said.
"I can't control that much. Whether they live or die is none of my concern," Star Han replied coldly.
"No! You can't do this!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. It was Green Moon. "You can't treat them like this. If you have the guts, come after me instead! What does dealing with them even mean?"
"Oh, you're awake! You're quite loyal, but unfortunately, you can't even protect yourself now. Why should I listen to you? I'll do as I please. You should think about yourself," Star Han remained unmoved.
"Yes, we're willing to let you go, but we pity you. Otherwise, we would dispose of you along with them," Yu Long added.
"No, we can cooperate. I can collaborate with the Dragon Slaying Association, as long as you're willing to release our people!" Green Moon hurriedly said.
"Why? Why should I cooperate with you? And why should you cooperate with us?" Star Han looked somewhat smug as he glanced at Yu Long, but his tone remained cold.
"I heard what you said earlier. I think you're right. Since Hua Jia has treated me unfairly, they can't blame me for being unjust to the Caide Faction. If you're willing to cooperate with me, I can provide you with some information about Hua Lietian. It's about his secret dealings and how he has benefited Hua Jia through his hidden influence. With this information, we can force him to step down and deal a significant blow to the power of Hua Jia. I believe you would be interested in that," Green Moon said confidently.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Oh, really? But what if I say I'm not interested in cooperating with you? Would you believe that?" Star Han said calmly.
"Well... I think cooperation would be beneficial for both sides!"
"You're just talking nonsense. How can anyone believe you? If you really want to cooperate with us, show some sincerity. If you're truly sincere, I think we, as the Dragon Slaying Association, won't be unreasonable. You can leave now!" Yu Long spoke up when she saw that Star Han remained silent.
"Alright, I will definitely show my sincerity. I hope you won't make things difficult for my sisters!" Green Moon knew she had no choice and gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that your sisters will be safe for the next few days," Yu Long promised.
"Good! I believe you!" Green Moon said, looking at Star Han, who didn't show any particular reaction. She turned and disappeared outside.
After Green Moon left, Yu Long asked, "Leader, she just left like that. Will she come back?"
"I think she probably will if nothing unexpected happens. I read a book that says people have two weaknesses: greed for fame and wealth, and doubt in their own abilities and others. If you can exploit people's doubt of others, you can sow discord among them. If you can effectively use people's doubt and greed against themselves, you can control them. In fact, I don't think Hua Jia wants to give up on the Caide Faction, but they underestimated us and overestimated the Caide Faction's abilities. As for why Green Moon decided to believe in us, I think she already had these doubts in her heart. My words just brought out those hidden doubts," Star Han paused and continued:
"And the reason she agreed to cooperate with us is probably partly due to her disappointment in Hua Jia. At the same time, she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her sisters. People like them value loyalty. That's her greed, but it's a kind of intangible fame. As long as we grasp this point, she will come to us again. I don't know if you've read 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu. It says, 'The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.' This is something worth learning," Star Han smiled and continued:
"But these are just my personal insights, and they may not be entirely accurate. As for what will happen in the future, you'll know when the time comes. Let's go and see how Qin Wei and his team are doing now!"
