Hao Mi was currently trying her best to raise the capital needed to pay the heavy war indemnity . However , it is now that she realized that the relations she had fostered over the years were pretty much useless.
Buisnessmen who she had done various favours would not return her calls and other drug lords in foreign nations would site various excuses as to why they would not be able to meet with Hao Mi over the period of this week.
Even her own Triad partners were not keen on paying such a heavy price of war , before under Hao Mi's repeated insistence and a lot of loss of face for the triads in the hands of the Elites , they decided to add to contribute to the overall bill contingent to the fact that should Hao Mi fail , she would be removed as a triad head and her position would be absorbed by the two remaining factions.
