After leaving the Daryl Hotel, Li Jia immediately returned to the Dragon Dance Club's manor and gathered Xiao Long, Angel, and Scorpion around her. "The Hanmo Li family's affairs aren't so easy to resolve, so, apart from Angel, Scorpion and Xiao Long, you two both have things to do..."
Li Jia gave Scorpion and Little Dragon brief instructions on their tasks, while Angel stayed at the Dragon Dance Party to be responsible for Xiao Yue's safety. After dinner, Li Jia formally presented her ideas.
"Elders, now that there are no outsiders here, I think we should talk things out openly. What are your thoughts on the Hanmoli family matter? I think if necessary, I will handle this personally. Xiaoyue's safety cannot be compromised in the slightest." Li Jia said this, and none of the elders present showed any dissatisfaction. Li Jia's prestige in the Dragon Dance Association was not built in a day or two; it was accumulated through many major events. Therefore, as soon as Li Jia said this, the five elders fell into deep thought.
According to the Dragon Dance Society's records, the Hanmoli family had four leaders, thirty to fifty core members, and approximately two thousand official members, with even more peripheral members. In comparison, the Dragon Dance Society was clearly at a disadvantage. Although the Dragon Dance Society claimed to be the largest Chinese organization in Italy, it only had twelve hundred official members, who were distributed across various positions in the Dragon Dance Society's various industries. The actual combat personnel, at most, numbered around eight hundred.
The reason why the Dragon Dance Club has been able to establish itself in the special place of Italy is mainly due to its economic strength combined with its relationship with the Italian government. Of course, its own power is also a very important factor. Although the Dragon Dance Club has a history of several decades since its establishment, its development direction is increasingly moving towards the light of day, while its strength and foundation in the dark are decreasing year by year. After all, a gang is a gang. If the Italian government suddenly decides to crack down on the Dragon Dance Club, its dark power will probably be wiped out.
The gangsters in the late Han Dynasty were different. They were local bullies, born and raised in the area, and engaged in the most primitive forms of crime: kidnapping, extortion, blackmail, drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms dealing, and so on. It would not be wrong to describe them as the source of evil in the world.
Now the problem is, the Dragon Dance Club, a Chinese organization that is gradually moving towards the light of day, has a direct conflict with a local gang that has always lived in the shadows. It is a direct and unavoidable conflict. How should this be resolved?
"Everyone, the Hanmoli family's troubles started because of me. Although it's too late to apologize now, I will still do my best to make up for the losses caused by this. If necessary, I can step forward and hope that my death can put an end to this conflict." The first to speak was Ma Bin, the once spirited elder, whose face was now full of dejection and guilt.
The crowd fell silent again. Li Jia looked at the thoughtful faces of the crowd and made a decision in her heart. "Everyone, I think I need to handle this matter personally. So, I will temporarily take full charge of the Dragon Dance Club until the matter is resolved. What do you think?"
