"How are preparations?" Ryu asked as he returned with Chi and Margie.

"Thane Qin is waiting for you in the meeting room," GreenHat replied. "I need to go and make sure everyone else is in place. I will keep in contact."

"Alright, go ahead. Thanks for the hard work." Ryu did not want to keep GreenHat any longer. He was in charge of the intelligence team who were scouting the surrounding areas and setting up for the attack.

"Hehe, this is nothing. You are actually going easy on me. You should see FingerSandwhich. He is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I will keep you posted on any news." GreenHat said with a smile before running off.

"Ryu, you really need to work him harder. He seems too free. How about we make him farm one million bluegrass." Chi asked, her eyes saying she was dead serious. She still had not forgiven him for not protecting her when she was younger.

"Can't, I need him for other things. Next time you see him, just kick him over and over until you're satisfied. Margie will hold him down for you." Ryu suggested with a wide grin. If it would make Chi happy, he would not care if she killed GreenHat until his cultivation was crippled.

"Just leave it to me, Darling~!" Margie patted his big muscles, causing both Chi and Ryu to laugh.

As they entered the room, the joking around quickly stopped. Ryu looked at Thane Qin, who was sitting there nervously under the watchful eye of the numbers. "You're here?"

"Yes! Ryu! Your people contacted me…." Thane jumped up and yelled out but quickly sat back down when he saw Margie glare at him.

Ryu took a seat across from him at the table and folded his hands in front of him while Margie and Chie stood to his left and right, respectively. He looked Thane up and down and released some of his soul qi suppression, causing Thane's face to pale. "So, what do you think of my offer?"

"You promise not to kill any of the family members but the head and those who oppose you?" Thane asked. He was worried the whole Qin family would be wiped out. He was there the day these two had opposed the Emma Qin's guard and now feeling the increased strength of just one of them was enough to make want to kneel on the ground. He knew Ryu had advanced to the soul assimilation realm.

"As long as they do not oppose me and accept me as your family head. I will bring you all under Serenity, and you will keep your status as a head clan in Westfall. But I must ask that you do not do any criminal activities or I would have to deal with the culprits. I am only giving you this one chance. As I said, I only want Emma's head and control of the Qin family. But those who try to kill my people or me will die.

"But I should explain that I won't be really in charge of your family. I will be the head in name only. Your family can decide who the next head will be." Ryu explained.

"Then deal. I have already talked with the elders of my side family and the other side families. They have all decided to band together under one banner to overthrow the main family who has been suppressing us for too long." Thane, from that day they met, had been watching Ryu's actions. The other day before Ryu headed to the Vaughn family, he was contacted by a man named GreenHat, who offered him a deal. That was when he went and talked to the elders of the city.

"Good, but remember, if you betray me, I will kill everyone. So whoever you pick as head, do not get any ideas and make sure they will not try to suppress the people of Westfall." Ryu would not really kill everyone, but he did not mind using it as a threat. This was why he was using a show of strength by suppressing Thane with this soul qi.

"Do not worry. We will not betray you. Being under your leadership will at least free us from the main family's control. Right now, we can't even expand our own business without their permission and giving over half of our earnings. If we tried to leave, they would send people out to kill us. We are more like slaves who only work for the main family." Thane was sick of working for others when the companies were under their own names. It was just pure suppression, and he could not take it anymore.

Realizing his suppression, Ryu stuck his hand out to Thane and said: "Then we have a deal. We will send people to send you back. I can not have my partner in crime being caught by that bitch, now can I."

Thane chuckled and nodded his head. "The Qin family will be in your care."

Ryu knew this was just the start. They had hired over five hundred mercenaries as well. Along with his guild and the side families of the Qin's, he figured he would have around one thousand people. This was a force never seen within Soul Fusion Online before. It was one of the biggest player-built armies ever made. Such a thing, of course, would catch the eye of the devs. And they were recording the whole process.

Before, it was a battle of two hundred versus two hundred. Now it is was one thousand versus however many the enemy has. As the main family, Ryu was sure Emma's people were in no small number. If you added in her guard who was like an army of one thousand himself it was going to be a tough battle. Luckily hiring mercenaries for these kinds of requests had a binding contract that made it so they could not back stab the one who hired them. This meant all five hundred of the mercenaries he hired were all under his full command without worry of being backstabbed. "The show is about to begin. We should all prepare."
