Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 766: Chapter 755: Saving Lives with a False Reputation

“In the past few days, I’ve carefully examined the development process of the Green Sect and have summarized some of their successful experiences!” Zhao Yan said, “Both organizations, right from the beginning, placed considerable emphasis on controlling their members! And once they had developed to a certain extent, both organizations moved towards legitimacy in an almost coordinated manner! Take the Green Sect now, for instance; publicly, the black operations are controlled by their subordinates, while the White Tiger and Zhu Yeqing have, at least on the surface, completely dissociated themselves from their former underworld ties. Likewise, in Yunnan, Xuanwu is more of a figurehead, as he leaves most matters to several trusted followers, and Xuanwu has also successfully legitimized himself in the eyes of society!” Zhao Yan said.

“And then?” Song Yun asked.

“Then I discovered that after the leaders of both organizations successfully laundered their images, they began to make giant leaps in development! When Xuanwu faced an issue he couldn’t handle in the legitimate world, his subordinates would step in, and vice-versa. This mutual support accelerated their growth, and after they successfully transformed, the various assassination attempts against Xuanwu and Zhu Yeqing significantly decreased. Do you know why that is?” Zhao Yan asked.
