"Elder Su, you don't need to say anymore. I understand what you mean. You're still worried that I'll bring disaster to the Dragon Dance Association, right? Hehe, elders, is that what you all think too?" Li Jia looked at Su Heyu, and the expression on her face made the other elders feel hot. They didn't expect Su Heyu to doubt Li Jia again. It seemed that their previous decision had not worked!
"Elder Su! What are you saying? I remember we said that we shouldn't have any doubts about Li Jia. What do you mean by this? Are the words of the elders of the Dragon Dance Society useless now?" Ma Bin stepped forward at this moment. He had just been able to get out of bed and walk, but his face was not good. His round body had lost a lot of weight. He was panting and pale as he stared at Su Heyu.
"Elder, I only did it for the sake of the Dragon Dance Association..." Su Heyu seemed to remember that he had been explicitly forbidden from discussing this matter some time ago. The scene from that time suddenly appeared in his mind. Regardless of his purpose, he still defended himself by saying that he was thinking of the Dragon Dance Association.
"Elder Su Heyu! From now on, I... on behalf of the other... elders of the Dragon Dance Society... inform you that you can leave. The Dragon Dance Society... no longer welcomes you!" Elder Ma Bin was very agitated at this moment, pointing at Su Heyu's face and angrily shouting.
"What? Elder, what do you mean by this? I'm doing this for the sake of the Dragon Dance Association. What if Li Jia really brings a powerful enemy to the Dragon Dance Association and then leaves? Have you thought about that? Li Jia is also a person with flesh and blood. Are you so sure that he would help the Dragon Dance Association so selflessly?" Su Heyu looked completely innocent, but his strong subconscious possessiveness was driving him to protect this territory that might become his in the future.
Su Heyu's main reason for doing this was his possessiveness. The Dragon Dance Club was his Dragon Dance Club; this idea was deeply ingrained in his mind. Li Jia, an outsider, should leave immediately after helping the Dragon Dance Club and shouldn't stay any longer. Only after Li Jia left could he wholeheartedly serve the Dragon Dance Club. Perhaps one day, he would be able to sit in the highest chair of the Dragon Dance Club, and then the Dragon Dance Club would truly be his!
"Elder, please don't be angry. Elder Su is only thinking of the Dragon Dance Association. I have no objection. Hehe, Elder Su, I wonder if you don't have any family?" Li Jia looked at Ma Bin's angry face and quickly took over the conversation. In the middle of the conversation, she suddenly changed the subject and asked about Su Heyu's family.
"Hmph! That's right! I have no family, so I'm not afraid of any threats, Li Jia. I, Su Heyu, am extremely grateful for what you did for the Dragon Dance Club, but now that things are over, I think the Dragon Dance Club is no longer suitable for you to stay for long..." Su Heyu's words were a sharp rebuttal to Li Jia, as if Li Jia was trying to use his question about his family to threaten him.
Li Jia smiled, then looked up at the other elders. "I forgive him. Hehe, you'll never truly understand what family is without it, Elder Su. I hope you'll have the chance to experience the warmth of human relationships, instead of always being immersed in scheming and backstabbing—towards others, towards the Dragon Dance Association, and even towards yourself. When you understand what family is, I think those empty desires deep within you will slowly disappear." Li Jia finished speaking and ignored Su Heyu, instead looking at the other elders.
"Elders, I will be leaving the Dragon Dance Association in two days. I entrust Xiaoyue's safety to your care. Of course, I will also arrange for people to protect her closely. If—and I mean if—Xiaoyue suffers any harm under your noses, I think you understand the consequences."
"I can destroy the Hanmoli family, and I can destroy the Dragon Dance Party just as easily. I'm saying this to tell you that neither the Dragon Dance Party nor the Hanmoli Mafia matters to me. The only person I care about is Xiaoyue!" After Li Jia finished speaking, she coldly glanced at the elders in the room, then turned and left the Dragon Dance Party villa, walking straight out of the manor. Perhaps, Li Feng would never appear here again!
The elders in the council hall exchanged bewildered glances. Li Jia's sudden change left them feeling completely lost. Apart from Su Heyu, who showed a hint of joy, the other elders were all ashen-faced. They knew perfectly well just how much power Li Jia wielded. Putting aside external forces, Li Jia alone was enough to throw the Dragon Dance Society into chaos! "Disperse, Elder Su, I have something to say to you!" Wang Qiang was the first to break the silence, waving his hand and saying, "Disperse," before watching Su Heyu walk out of the council hall.
Su Heyu and Wang Qiang were promoted to elders at the same time. Wang Qiang's promotion was purely due to the support of the crowd, while Su Heyu used all his connections and resources. Although their victory seemed extremely easy, one was actually a genuine top scorer, while the other was a fraudulent top scorer. In any case, a top scorer is a top scorer, so whether he was a fraud or not is not so important.
"Elder Wang, what's the matter?" Su Heyu followed behind Wang Qiangdi, and the two of them left the villa one after the other and came to the lawn of the manor. Only then did Su Heyu ask.
"Old Su, do you know that what you've done has caused the Dragon Dance Association an even bigger problem?" Wang Qiang turned around and looked at Su Heyu, the scene of Li Jia's outburst flashing through his mind.
"Oh? Could it be that there are people even more difficult to deal with than the mafia in the late Han Dynasty?" Su Heyu asked nonchalantly, looking at Wang Qiang's worried face.
“You’re right, there is! There’s someone far more formidable than the mafia in the late Han Dynasty, and that person is Li Jia!” Wang Qiang stared at Su Heyu and said solemnly, word by word.
