''But their income is quite troublesome. It might be difficult to win a financial war against them.''
Lily sighed. With her recent occupation of many forces and a lot of other factors, their stored Spiritual Crystals have reached a shocking 650,000 Spiritual Crystals.
Now 300,000 are gone to the auction.
''Hmm it seems like I need to think of some ways to increase the family income in the future. But let's forget about that for a bit.''
Currently the family makes a comfortable amount of around 15,000 each year. Potentially more or less depending on the costs that year.
Of course the reason behind the low income is because of the increasing number of warriors in the family. The costs of raising them is also proportionately huge!
Even if the Millions of Dogs of War find tens of thousands of crystals each year in the Eternal Battlefield, a majority of them are used to buy resources for their practice!
Otherwise the Family income would definitely skyrocket in an instant.
''Take out 10,000 Spiritual Crystals. Try to get in contact with the cities that the HiveTriad have branched out in. I want Rank F Organisations set up in each one.''
''Provide them with enough financial support to slowly buy up and occupy any shops or industries that the HiveTriad have in that city.''
Lily slowly continued to release more and more instructions.
Finally she came to a relatively small list.
-HiveTriad Enemies-
On the list there were close to a dozen different forces. Each of them were the names of some Rank E or Rank F organisations that were enemies with the HiveTriad force for one reason or another.
''Reach out to each of these forces. For the Rank F organisations directly occupy them, for the Rank E organisations with their top combat power still alive, approach them with a potential marriage.''
''Pick some of my siblings and promise some baby kisses. Try and pick their most talented descendants and more than one if possible.''
Lily intended to occupy these forces that are enemies with the HiveTriad Organisation. If she does it is much easier to take action under the disguise of a force that hates them.
As for taking over their mortal industries, although it won't cause a massive amount of damage, it will affect their overall income and their outreach to mortals in other cities.
Two days later, a small group of figures dressed in official suits much like bodyguards were walking cautiously down an ally. Tied around each of their waists were small cloth bags.
''Boss, are you sure this is where the seller is?''
One of the smaller bodyguards spoke to a large burly man at the head.
''Yes. Shut up and let's go.''
The large man quickly slapped the back of the man's head and they slowly continued down the alley.
They continued to walk until they reached a set of shady steps leading down to a large metal door.
The one they called boss walked up.
'Knock' 'Tap' 'Knock'
A set of rhythmic and patterned knocking came out, followed by a slight creak as the door was opened revealing a bulging man the face the size as a watermelon.
''Ahh you must be the men sent by the HiveTriad! It is a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance.''
Recognising their identities, the fat man swung open the door, revealing a large grey and dingy room.
Around the room you could see dozens of beautiful women wearing next to nothing. Not even a cloth to cover their privates, only a maid-like shirt and a leather collar around their necks.
''We are here to pick up the product.''
The boss turned a blind eye to it and spoke sternly.
''Ah yes of course! This way please.''
The Fat man slowly led them away.
But as they left they didn't notice that a large group of black cloaked figures dived through the door.
The two Middle Rank 1 Guards at the door were surprised and were about to shout out, only to feel a faint dizziness as sleek knives passed through their throats.
Under the shocked eyes of the previously tortured beauties all the lustful men around the room were now bearing the same red line across their throats.
However the shadows didn't stop, pouring into the basement following the fat man.
At the same time within the basement, an even more atrocious scene was taking place. All around there were hundreds of cages, each cage imprisoning three to five beautiful or middle-aged women.
But without an exception all of the women were pregnant!
On the opposite side of the cages there were multiple smaller cages, all of which contained young children of varying ages.
Clearly this is not just a simple human trafficking ring, it was actually a human breeding group!
It is one of HiveTriads' money suppliers. They specially breed beautiful or strong men and sell them off to the HiveTriad who later sell them for even more.
''As you gentlemen can see, this batch of children are of impeccable quality once again. Two of them have Spiritual Roots, although only one inch, but the rest will definitely conform to the beauty standards you require.''
''And as promised, completely untouched.''
The fat man's cheeks wobbled as he smirked lustfully. His eyes continuously wandered over the poor children, occasionally focusing on the girls that had grown up slightly.
''Good the price is the same.''
The Boss saw the product and nodded slightly. But just as he reached for the Cloth Bag around his waist his eyes widened suddenly.
''What the hell?''
His body visibly shivered, the aura of a High Rank 1 Warrior bursting out suddenly. But it didn't help.
He could only watch as a silver knife sliced his arm off by the wrist. And as the severed arm slowly fell he felt a cold gleam before everything turned dark.
''Everything is dealt with.''
A dozen fiigure in a bronze Plague Doctor Mask appeared in the empty space, bowing politely towards another robed figure, the only different is the Silver Mask of his face.
''Bring these people away.'''
The silver masked warriors didn't even bother to pay attention and turned to leave.
