Thirty Days of Classes, part 8 (after battle)

Dammit, I was so close...

... Did you ever really take the time to think about what might happen if big sister Yuanchun actually gained control of Hongyuan?

Sure, it's gonna be all buddy-buddy at first. She's going to acknowledge the authority of the board of directors, butter you up, and compensate you for your efforts...

... but soon, you're going to see people from other Nests coming in here and taking up administrative positions under the guise of "advisors".

And it's the small families and clans that are going to suffer first.

And when that time comes, I bet you'll be saying the same thing then.

"I was so close..."

…….

It's going to be a while before other members of your family are let go. You know this already.

They committed treason, thinking they were piggybacking off big sister Yuanchun's forces, when in reality she had already discarded them even before it began. She's made sure that nothing about this treason's going to stick to her.

... Mother. Father...

Now, let's think about this carefully, about Jia Yuanchun's vision for Daguanyuan. Will it be more H Corp.... or Q Corp.?

... I see the point you're making.

But you've not given us any reason to trust you, either. What guarantee do I have that you won't just toss us aside when we're no longer useful?

So, about that hiding place where you put your parents you just accidentally let slip.

…….

I'd known their whereabouts for a while, actually. My Heishou had identified their location long ago, but I didn't do anything because there wasn't any evidence that pointed to your parents' involvement.

Is that... is that true?

Just how low is your opinion of the Hierarch? Big sister Yuanchun made a big show of her own influence at the assembly, but I still have a tight control over the Heishou of the Family Hierarch.

But... I thought you were arresting every member of the Shi family without even questioning them.

What was it again? That leaders must take good care of those who are in the same boat as them?

Why would any Hierarch go around arresting innocent people of H Corp. left and right, unnecessarily making more enemies for themselves?

I sure don't plan on doing that.
