Kapitel 71: Fall of Divine Family
Alan continued to sit in his chair, and with a casual yet authoritative tone, he ordered, "Yang Xin, come here."
Yang Xin hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding with a mix of emotions. She carefully approached him, her footsteps soft against the carpeted floor.
As she stood before him, Alan's arms encircled her waist, and he guided her to sit on his lap.
She sat there, feeling the warmth of his body, her own heart racing with a combination of nervousness and curiosity.
She cast a glance at him, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
His eyes, however, were clear and devoid of any hidden intentions, which put her somewhat at ease. It seemed like he was doing this for the sake of amusement rather than anything sinister.
As Alan held her on his lap, he began to speak, his voice calm and direct.
"Yang Xin, I've had the Snow Wind Family break their agreement with the Alchemy Association. Now, it's your duty to provide elixirs and pellets to the Sacred Family and its allied noble families at a discounted rate. This will help bolster their strength significantly."
Yang Xin listened carefully to his words, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.
She knew that this was a significant move, one that could alter the dynamics of power within Glory City.
Alan's request wasn't merely about business; it was about consolidating power and securing the interests of the Sacred Family and its allies.
She nodded in agreement, her expression resolute.
"I will arrange the necessary discounts as you wish, Master Shen. You can count on me to handle it."
Alan nodded with satisfaction, his arms still wrapped around her waist.
"Good. You're quite reliable, Yang Xin," Alan whispered in her ear while his one hand was already reaching out for her large bust that was only lightly concealed behind her robe.
Yang Xin tried to maintain her composure as Alan's hand ventured beneath her robes, caressing her form. Her heart pounded, and she held her breath, unsure of how to react to the unexpected intimacy of the situation.
Alan's touch was skillful, his fingers teasing her in a way that sent shivers down her spine. She bit her lower lip, struggling to suppress the rising tide of sensations and emotions.
With a mixture of trepidation and excitement, she asked, "Is there anything else, Master Shen?"
Alan leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear as he murmured, "Yes, there's one more thing you can do for me, Yang Xin." His voice was laced with a sly and seductive undertone.
He leaned back slightly, allowing her to meet his gaze, and then he revealed his next request, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint.
"I want you to answer one of my questions. You see… In these recent days, I have been troubled with a bit of guilt. As you know, I have a romantic relationship with Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun. But even then, I can't help but feel lust for a woman like you. So, my question is this. Am I committing a sin right now, Yang Xin?"
As Alan spoke those words, he made sure to squeeze her ample curves sensually, his fingers teasingly pinching the pink cherries atop her mounds.
Yang Xin's response was a mix of desire and obedience. "Ah… No, Master Shen. You're not doing anything wrong," she panted. "I am your slave, and it's my duty to please my master in any way I can."
Alan responded with a devilish smirk, still caressing her as he said, "That's a very good answer, Yang Xin. I think I'll let you go for now."
With that, he released her beasts and even her waist, allowing her to stand up.
Yang Xin quickly adjusted her clothing and appearance before bowing to Alan. She departed from his room, her heart still racing from the unexpected encounter, leaving him with a wicked grin.
Alan couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, his voice filled with amusement. "Hah! That was quite entertaining!" he remarked to himself, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
He leaned back in his chair, relishing the thrill of the moment, and began to contemplate his next moves.
Alan leaned back in his chair, his cold and calculating mind already devising a plan to further his goals. He contemplated the situation, recognizing that the Dark Guild was unlikely to launch another attack on the Snow Wind Family in the near future after their previous devastating losses.
With that threat temporarily averted, Alan shifted his attention toward the Divine Family, one of the wealthiest and most influential clans in Glory City. Disrupting their prosperity would serve his interests well.
He considered three strategies to tarnish the Divine Family's reputation and diminish their strength:
The first was to discredit Chen Linjian, a member of the Divine Family. Alan devised a plan to have him fall from grace by drugging him with love potions and involving him in scandalous liaisons with prostitutes. The goal was to expose him in compromising situations with prostitutes, a scandal that would undoubtedly harm his reputation and also bring the family's fame down the drain.
His second strategy involved targeting the Divine Family's trade routes. By sabotaging their commerce operations, Alan aimed to inflict significant financial losses on the family, further weakening their position.
Lastly, Alan intended to infiltrate the Divine Family's treasury. There, he would steal valuable artifacts and coveted cultivation techniques from there. The loss of such critical items would undermine their protection capabilities along with their prestige.
Alan decided to execute all three strategies simultaneously, capitalizing on the skills and assets of Yang Xin and Shen Xiu. He knew that with their help, he would maximize the damage done to the Divine Family's reputation and influence.
~~
Over the course of the next week, a series of significant events unfolded, each leaving its mark on Glory City's social landscape.
Firstly, news of the Dark Guild's catastrophic defeat at the hands of the Snow Wind Family had spread like wildfire. The tale of their humiliating loss became common knowledge and brought relief to the public.
Secondly, in line with Alan's intentions, Ye Ziyun's punishment came to an end. She was now free to leave her mansion and publicly enjoy her time with Alan, along with Xiao Ning'er. The trio could be seen wandering about, savoring their time together.
Nie Li couldn't help but be taken aback by this sight. He watched in disbelief as his rival enjoyed the affections of Ye Ziyun. However, he was powerless to change the situation.
Ye Ziyun harbored intense resentment toward him for her extended period of punishment, believing it was solely Nie Li's fault.
The third event of the week was the Alchemy Association's decision to cease providing pellets to the Snow Wind Family.
The fourth event followed closely, as the Alchemy Association extended discounts to numerous noble families, including the Sacred Family.
Confounded by these developments, Nie Li sought an explanation from the Alchemy Association.
Yang Xin informed him that it was a measure to offset the loss of the Snow Wind Family's patronage and provided a series of other reasons.
Nie Li, however, pressed for the discount's cancellation to the Sacred Family, which was ultimately accepted by Yang Xin.
The fifth event unfolded with scandalous rumors concerning Chen Linjian taking some drugs and dealing with prostitutes, the Divine Family's future patriarch, tarnishing the family's reputation.
Sixth, the Divine Family's trade routes were unexpectedly compromised as the Dark Guild attacked and looted all their caravans.
Lastly, the seventh and most devastating event involved the loss of the Divine Family's prized cultivation manuals and two treasured artifacts from their treasury. This relentless series of blows struck a death knell for the once-proud clan.
Amidst this chaos, the Sacred Family began lowering their protection fee, leading to an influx of requests from various business associations eager to secure their services.
Simultaneously, the Snow Wind Family launched an investigation into the sudden downfall of the Divine Family. They couldn't dismiss the possibility that these events were orchestrated by an unseen hand, manipulating the city's power dynamics from behind the scenes.
Following this eventful week, an unexpected turn of events emerged as the Sacred Family extended a hand of assistance to the beleaguered Divine Family.
Unbeknownst to many, this move was orchestrated under Alan's cunning schemes. He had strategically advised Shen Xiu to suggest this course of action to Shen Hong.
The calculated assistance aimed not at restoring the Divine Family to its former glory, but rather at enhancing the public's perception of the Sacred Family.
This tactical alliance allowed the Sacred Family to gain the favor of the general populace. In the guise of support, they had a golden opportunity to interfere with the Divine Family's business operations and severely impede their growth.
The consequences of these actions were certain to propel the Sacred Family even further ahead on the path of power and influence.
Just as the Sacred Family was succeeding in their schemes, the City Lord's adoptive son, Ye Han, returned to the Glory City.
In celebration of his return, the City Lord organized a banquet in the City Lord's mansion. Many Noble Families, including the Sacred Family were invited to this banquet.
