“Let’s talk about the spoils of this battle first,” Chen Zhang began, his voice echoing in the somewhat empty hall with a resounding clang, “all of which we obtained by risking our lives. How to deal with them is not something to be taken lightly for a moment.”

He nodded slightly to Jian Hezhi, who was sitting in the back seat, and said, "Brother Hezhi, read the accounts."

Jian He stepped forward, unfurled the heavy crystal scroll in his hand, and said clearly:

"There are seven large mineral veins, four of which have been discovered: the phosphorus ash associated with the magic silver mine in the East District, which was secretly mined by the Bone Digging Team for five years and is now sealed. The estimated reserves are medium, and the associated blue crystal sand is the most valuable; the black-veined iron mine in the South District, the blue phosphorite vein in the Northwest Corner, and the small star fluorite mine... have all been taken over, and the guarding facilities and runes are intact."

"Soul Guiding Equipment and Forging Workshop: Two intact soul guiding smelting furnaces, twelve large forging machines, various molds and tools, and one enchanting production line..."

"Medicinal herbs, finished products, and ore storage warehouses: numbered No. 3, No. 7, and No. 9, which also contain six 10,000-year-old soul bones and more than a dozen 1,000-year-old soul bones, hundreds of crystal cores, more than 300 catties of high-level soul beast bone and blood materials, and 100-year-old earth marrow jade fungus..."

"Five million six hundred and thirty thousand universal gold soul coins in cash... Twenty-four million four hundred and ninety thousand crystal cards of various colors..."

"The above pertains to public accounts."

Each item read aloud made the breaths of everyone in the hall slightly hotter.

This bone-digging gang has been entrenched in the Huagai District for a century. The sheer amount of money they've extracted from bones and marrow is staggering, even just a list is enough to make one's heart tremble.

The gold coins alone amount to nearly 30 million, and when you include various real estates (black market shops, etc.), several mines, and spoils of war from captured prisoners, the total value is at least 200 million.

This battle was almost equivalent to the gains of Mar-a-Lago or half of the Bao Family Manor.

This income is unprecedented, and this is only the largest of the four major companies in Huagai District. The other three companies are even considering chopping up the other three companies to collect their money.

Even a second-rate power wouldn't earn this much over hundreds of years.

This doesn't even take into account the immense value of Ironjaw Fortress itself and its extensive online distribution channels.

Furthermore, this is still public funds; personal gains have not been accounted for.

It can be said that these four families have made a fortune by following the Chen family this year, and they are overjoyed.

Chen Zhang nodded slowly, his fingertips tracing the cold edge of the table, making a soft "tap" sound.

He turned his gaze to Yang Zhicheng: "Uncle Zhicheng, this is something left behind by the Bone-Digging Gang who occupied this place. It would be most suitable for your Yang family."

He was referring to the "Bone-Digging Group's Hidden Arrow Tower" project recorded in the book—which contained special arrows that the Bone-Digging Group had plundered, collected, and even secretly crafted over generations!

Among them are the "Poison Dragon Fangs," which are made from the essence of the venomous fangs of underground, cold soul beasts and can corrode souls and penetrate armor, as well as the "Soul-Breaking Heavy Arrows," which are forged from the accompanying demonic silver and are specifically designed to break through soul power shields!
Yang Zhicheng paused, wiping the arrowheads, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Even though he came from a family accustomed to treasures, this stockpile of arrows still made his heart skip a beat.

This is no ordinary force that could collect for the Bone Digging Gang. It is more like a strategic resource reserved here by a powerful organization for certain targets—"for example, archers from a major force who might go deep underground to carry out missions!"

He nodded slightly: "Ah Zhang is thoughtful. This arrow will indeed be of help to our Yang family, especially the 'Poison Dragon Fang,' which has a very strong arrow intent and is worth taking."

Zhu Yanfeng's booming voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Bows and arrows are bows and arrows, and weapons are weapons! Those captured fine steel forging lines and enchanting furnaces are excellent for making arrows, but we can't waste them! Aren't we forming a new joint armed force?" "Our four families' Dust Shadow Guards (part of the Xuanlin Guards), Darkfire Guards, Flying Feather Guards, and Crimson Flame Guards are perfectly suited to be equipped with the newly captured forges and ore; they're ideal for forging!"

Chen Zhangmu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile: "Naturally. The newly captured ore and furnaces should be given priority to the joint team. To equip them with armor and weapons, we need each of us to send some craftsmen and manpower, as well as blueprints for standard weaponry."

"Uncle Wenye, the Ximen family may need to send more craftsmen in this regard. At the same time, the Ximen family should also take a larger share of the mineral quota here."

Everyone nodded.

The Joint Management Committee will establish inspection teams, law enforcement teams, guard teams, etc., as well as the intelligence department that Tan Yashuang will be integrated into and Hahn's chamber of commerce.

The timing of the attack on Huagai District was swift, a bold move made on the spur of the moment. However, the subsequent arrangements—including the proposed management model for Huagai District, the coordination and cooperation methods with the allied families of Douhun City in the neighboring Huading District and Huaguang District, and the framework for handling the Brotherhood, Sisterhood, and Chengshang Association—were all hastily decided in the past two days after the capture of Tieyabao, led by Chen Zhang, in emergency discussions with Yang Zhicheng, Ximen Wenye, and Ma Zhibin.

Despite the tight schedule, the efficiency was high, which is precisely due to the high degree of tacit understanding and execution network formed by the "Three Families" of Chen, Yang, and Ximen over hundreds of years in all aspects of politics, economy, martial arts, and even the Soul Master world.

Now, the integration is being deepened, including the integration of the economic franchise pharmacy supermarket and supply chain, and the integration of external military forces into the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard), etc., and the three-core, two-wing situation is gradually taking shape.

As for the Ma family, they reside in the Kingdom of Barak. For hundreds of years, apart from the Long family, they have maintained the closest relationship with the three most distant families: the Chen family, the Yang family, and the Ximen family, with constant exchanges and cooperation.

In recent years, in particular, the Ma family's tendency to gravitate towards the core circle of the Chen family in all aspects has become increasingly obvious and is evident to all, making them a tail wing.

This hastily arranged joint action by the four companies was able to reach a consensus quickly, demonstrating their strong integration capabilities.

……

Jian Hezhi closed the booklet and stood solemnly: "In addition, the former male and female slaves and young men with Soul Master qualifications of the Bone Digging Group, totaling more than 1,400, will continue to be housed in the backyard, while they themselves have 1,846 prisoners."

Chen Zhang frowned slightly and replied coldly, "Yes, now that Barton has fled far away, the core high-ranking officials are either dead or captured. Although there are many people left in the fortress, they are a mixed bag. Those who are truly core or involved in serious crimes have been detained and interrogated separately by us."

"We have designated an area in the southwest corner of Tieyabao for the centralized custody and initial screening of most of the lower-level personnel. We still need to carefully consider how to deal with them afterward, whether to send them to mine slavery or for other purposes."

Ximen Wenye leaned forward slightly: "What useful things can these cores produce?"

Chen Zhang put down his teacup and tapped his fingertips lightly twice on the cold rosewood table: "Most valuable secrets are held by the core high-level personnel."

"These people are also divided into distinct factions, with Soul Douluo and Soul Saint as the dividing line. Originally there were two Soul Douluo and sixteen Soul Saints, but they were divided into four factions: two large and two small."

"The largest, of course, is the faction led by the leader Barton, with six Soul Saints under his command," Chen Zhang paused, tilting his head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face, "Among them, Dark Wind Weasel Soul Saint Huo Yifeng fled when he saw the situation was not good; Black Skull Soul Saint Mao Zeqian was seriously injured by Jin Hua's sword and is still lying unconscious on the hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance."

"As for the other four: Bloodfang War Elephant, Earthshaking Rock Rhinoceros, Dark Rock Turtle, and Shadow Fang Leopard..."

“Hmm,” Chen Zhang withdrew his gaze and continued, “cough cough… they were all dealt with by Xiao Jun.”

Chen Xiaojun's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air. He looked embarrassed for a moment, then a faint, bitter smile appeared on his lips.
