After persuading everyone to agree to take action against the Hua Family one by one, Green Moon wasted no time in exercising her authority as the alliance leader. She confidently declared, "Since everyone has elected me as the leader and agrees that it's time to take action against the Hua Family, I now announce that this matter has been decided. I will proceed to announce the plan for the operation against the Hua Family."

"Now? When will the operation take place? We're not prepared yet!" the deputy leader exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, don't worry about that. You've only just arrived, but I've already sent people to inform your subordinates. They should be ready by now. They're waiting for your orders," Green Moon said with a smile.

"What?..." The deputy leader was stunned, and the others were equally surprised. They realized that everything had been prepared in advance, and all the details had been taken into consideration.

"The saying goes 'swift as the wind and quiet as the forest.' I did this for everyone's sake. By catching them off guard, we can reduce our losses. Don't you agree? I believe everyone also cares about the lives and safety of their subordinates!" Green Moon explained calmly.

"Yes, yes, I was just worried that some of my subordinates might not be obedient. I didn't mean anything else!" the deputy leader hastily replied. Most of the others remained silent, and Blue Min and a few others had a grim expression on their faces.

"We'll have to ask Star Han about that. But I don't think such a situation will arise. We are all one family now," Green Moon said.

"What do you mean?" Blue Min stood up and asked loudly. The female members of the Caide Faction sitting next to him moved closer.

"Blue Boss, don't get so agitated. There's really nothing to it. It's just for the sake of unified command and coordinated action. I asked Star Han to consolidate and deploy everyone's strength. Since everyone recognizes me as the alliance leader, I believe I still have that authority," Green Moon explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the leaders were at a loss. They understood the implications of Green Moon's words. It seemed that the Caide Faction and the Long Sha Society had invited them to this meeting not only to form an alliance but also to seize their power from the very beginning. They had initially agreed to form the alliance because they were forced to and thought that they would still hold power when they returned. They didn't expect that Green Moon would completely absorb their forces and leave them with no hope. The leaders were angered and more than half of them stood up immediately. The female members of the Caide Faction also reached for their waistlines, some even drew their guns and went on high alert. Blue Min looked at the women behind him and spoke with a hesitant voice, "Green Leader, don't you think you've gone too far?"

Green Moon gestured to the women, "Put your guns down, we're all one family. Why do we need guns? Besides, Star Han is here too. If you all get so worked up, won't it make the leader laugh at us in Feng City?"

"Everyone, calm down. Actually, Green Moon wants me, as the leader of the Long Sha Society, to organize and reassign everyone's strength. There are no other intentions. It's just for better cooperation among us! I believe you all understand this," Star Han said. At this point, it didn't matter what Star Han said; the important thing was that he spoke and made his presence known, implying a certain meaning.

Seeing Star Han standing up, the other leaders calmed down a bit. They glanced at the women on high alert around them, realizing that any proactive action would lead them down the same path as the Geology Organization. Blue Min sighed, "Forget it, one wrong move and we lose everything! Now that things have come to this, you figure it out."

The others realized that if even Blue Min said that, there was nothing more they could say. They sat down dejectedly.

Seeing everyone sitting down as if nothing had happened, Green Moon continued explaining the plan and its allocation. According to Green Moon's plan, the forces would split into two groups, one led by the Long Sha Society and the other by the Caide Faction, to sweep the Hua Family's strongholds in Feng City. Green Moon had already gathered detailed information about these strongholds and was confident of success.

The assignments were quickly distributed. The deputy leader was puzzled and asked, "What about us? What are we supposed to do? We haven't been given any tasks yet?"

Upon hearing this, Green Moon smiled and said, "Since this matter is not significant, there's no need for you to make a big fuss. You've only just arrived, so just send a few of your subordinates. Star Han and I will be here waiting for their good news. I shared the plan with everyone to keep them informed about the operation."

The deputy leader was speechless. It seemed like they were being sidelined. However, there was nothing they could say. They could only ask, "When can we go back then?"

That was the real concern for the deputy leader.

"Oh, that will be soon. Once they have cleared the Hua Family's strongholds, I will arrange your future tasks, and then you can return," Green Moon replied.

Shortly after, reports came in from members of the Long Sha Society and the Caide Faction. Without any surprises, they had successfully swept away the Hua Family's influence in Feng City. However, there were casualties, mostly from other factions. The members of the Long Sha Society and the Caide Faction only suffered a few minor injuries as a show of force.

Next, Green Moon mobilized all the members under the alliance and redefined their territories. The major forces from different factions were placed under the command of the Caide Faction, while some members of the Caide Faction were placed under the command of other factions. Star Han also sent some of his people to "assist" them. The process went relatively smoothly, with no major backlash. A few individuals who resisted were quickly "dealt with." After the arrangements were made, the leaders of the factions were sent back.

The leaders left with various thoughts, devoid of the excitement they had when they first arrived. They all wore a dejected expression.

After seeing off the leaders and dispersing the members of the Caide Faction and the Long Sha Society, Green Moon and Star Han returned to the meeting room to discuss future matters. As they entered the room, they exchanged a smile. Green Moon said, "Today was truly gratifying. The Caide Faction has been suppressed for so many years, and now we can finally see the light of day. The situation seems good for now, with no major issues arising. It's even better than expected."

"It's true that things are going well for now, but we still need to be cautious. Those leaders won't give up so easily. We need to be on guard," Star Han warned.

"Of course, I've already arranged for people to monitor them. They better not try anything funny, or..." Green Moon paused.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Let's prepare for the retaliation from the Hua Family. I'm sure they won't let us off easily," Star Han interrupted Green Moon.

"I know. As far as I know, the Hua Family's power is much stronger than you can imagine. To be honest, I never thought I would betray the Hua Family one day. Life is truly unpredictable. But we need to be prepared for everything, including the worst-case scenario." Green Moon's voice revealed a hint of vulnerability at the thought of the Hua Family.

...

The two of them stayed in the meeting room for a while before coming out. It's unclear if they were actually discussing matters the whole time.

The Hua Family.

The Hua Family was currently bustling with excitement as Shi Yi had just returned from abroad. To welcome her, Hua Liuyun held a banquet at home.

Hua Liuyun and Shi Yi were engaged in an intimate conversation. Hua Liuyun considerately said, "You've just returned, take some time to rest at home."

"No, Liuyun, I want to do something as soon as possible. I've learned a lot overseas, and now is the perfect time to put it into practice. In a few days, I plan to find a job," Shi Yi expressed her determination.

"Alright, how about this? I'll ask Grandfather to let you take charge of a subsidiary clothing company under our family's conglomerate. You're my wife now, so how can you work randomly in some messy place! It would be laughable," Hua Liuyun suggested after thinking for a moment.

"I don't mind what I do as long as I have something to do," Shi Yi replied.

"Okay, then it's settled. You'll be in charge of the fashion sector from now on. I want everyone to see that my wife is not only beautiful but also exceptional in her abilities," Hua Liuyun said with a cheerful smile.

At that moment, a burly man approached Hua Liuyun and whispered a few words. Hua Liuyun immediately stood up. Shi Yi couldn't hear the man's words clearly, but she faintly caught "Feng City," "Caide Faction," and other fragments. She didn't hear anything else.

"Shi Yi, I'm sorry, but Grandfather has an urgent matter for me. I need to go for now, but I'll come back to accompany you later," Hua Liuyun apologized to Shi Yi.

"It's okay. If you have something to attend to, go ahead," Shi Yi said indifferently.

Hua Liuyun entered a room where his grandfather was waiting. As soon as he walked in, he exploded with anger, "Do you know? I just received news that the Long Sha Society has turned the Caide Faction against us, and the Caide Faction has expelled all our forces in Feng City. Moreover, someone reported some confidential information about your uncle to the higher authorities. Although the information was handed over to your uncle's political rival, it was actually provided by the Caide Faction. Your uncle is in big trouble now. You said you could handle the leader of the Long Sha Society last time, but how did things turn out like this? Ah!"

"I'm still preparing to deal with the Long Sha Society. Although there was an unexpected situation, Grandfather, rest assured, everything is under control. Soon, I will make a move and ensure the complete elimination of the Long Sha Society, or at least deal a heavy blow. There won't be any activity from them for several years," Hua Liuyun reassured his grandfather confidently.

"Good. If everything goes as you say, then it's good. We need to take care of the Long Sha Society as soon as possible. Yun'er, you must understand that I want to hand over our family business to you in a hundred years. Don't disappoint me," his grandfather said earnestly.

"Grandfather, you can count on me," Hua Liuyun replied with confidence.
