Huno sat at the head sit, Xue Li sat down while everyone stood facing Huno. 'Sister Yu report please,' Huno said. 'Yes patriarch...'
'Sister Yu don't call me patriarch, do that if you want, during a formal setting,' Huno said, cutting her short.
'Yes senior... (Huno raised his eyebrow) brother Huno, I'll start with the operation, the operation was a big success, the bait we threw did a wonderful job, all the great families each sent many people both secretly and publicly, the total amount gotten from the auction was approximately six million gold of which we got three million six hundred thousand gold, at the command of first madam six hundred thousand was used to cover all daily expenses, the balance of the six hundred thousand is...,'
'Skip that, you report that to junior sister, not me,' Huno interrupted.
'Yes, we got fifty peak rank from the Twilight family, of which forty-six was the agreement, I checked and the Twilight family was honest, under your instructions the fifty peak rank went out first to the neighboring villages and cities to gather....,'
'I never said cities, I said remote areas, I didn't include cities,' Huno said. He placed his elbow on the armrest and rest his head on his knuckles. 'Tell me, why do you flout my orders?' he asked. Everyone felt a chill in the air and the feeling of being like an ant diffused to each of them. 'Senior brother please forgive, I was the one who said they could go to neighboring cities and areas, the great families placed a decree all families are to be checked and to give an account of their finances, their people and source of income, I told them to go to neighboring places so they could easily be called back in case of emergency,' Xue Li stood up and said. 'Alright, was there any trouble?' Huno asked. 'Not with us. A substantial amount of families rioted. The great families couldn't afford an internal conflicts while the front line is having a big problem, so the order was dissolved a month ago,' she replied. 'That's good, you may proceed,' Huno said.
'He is a low rank and I'm a peak rank. How is it possible to make me feel timid?' Yu Chani thought.
'Yes, the fifty were told to report back at the end of every month. We now have two hundred and twenty-nine kids,' Yu Chani continued. 'Were all the kids willing to come?' Huno asked. 'Yes, I asked, most are orphans have no care, they would have been dead by now,' Yu Chani replied. 'Okay, from now on ignore those who have guardians,' Huno said.
'Yes, the array have successfully been completed, the array masters await your orders to begin the third set, the pillars, the first set were positioned beneath the ground, its location is known only to the first patriarch, the elders, the heads of the financial matters and the head of the guards, the location has been marked a forbidden zone and will be strictly guarded, the second set is at a huge area behind the inner courtyard, the third set will also be placed there,' Yu Chani replied. 'Good, is that all?' Huno asked.
'These are the major things, the minor things have been handled by first madam,' Yu Chani replied.

'Yes sir,' everyone replied.
'Very well, there's no need for further delay. Let us go home,' Huno said and stood up.
