My profession panel inspires loyalty.

[A non-governmental organization that has been established for just over two years, even if its founders have powerful connections, would probably not dare to act recklessly on the turf of a commercial city.]

Therefore, the prominent families of Shangdu jointly filed a complaint with the Federal Central Commerce Department, providing evidence that the Chixin Chamber of Commerce had used unfair means to engage in business competition, which was disrupting the market and federal tax revenue!

Surprisingly, the Ministry of Commerce turned a blind eye to this matter.

[Especially when the Shangdu Shijia sent people to the Federal Center to cultivate relationships, they received the most severe warning from the Federal Headquarters.]

【immediately!】

【immediately!】

[Cease all targeting of the Red Heart Society!]

Otherwise, no one can save you!

When the prominent families of Shangdu wanted to get to the bottom of things, the Federal Office simply told them to ask the Lu family of Yuncheng.

[Nothing else will be mentioned.]

When they exchanged certain benefits for a response from the Lu family patriarch, the answer sent shivers down the spines of the entire aristocratic community in the capital.

[In June of the 127st year of the Supernatural Calendar, you reached level 46.]

[In the same month, you amassed a huge fortune from the stock markets of the Winter Empire, the Sunset Empire, and the United States across the ocean.]

[You even dragged the White Eagle Empire into this matter, partly to repay the emperor and to use the White Eagle Empire as a shield.]

In this whole affair, the White Eagle Empire reaps the benefits, while you only get small bites and a little soup.

This wave of events directly plunged the Winter Empire into economic turmoil and sparked widespread protests within the Sunset Empire.

Although the United States has a huge economy, it still finds it hard to cope with the White Eagle Empire's direct intervention and significant losses, causing the national debt to rise by 15%.

[For a time, the three kingdoms loomed large-scale protests against the White Eagle Empire around the world.]

The White Eagle Empire was overwhelmed by a deluge of condemnation, criticism, and insults.

[However, the White Eagle Empire has always been a rogue state, and its royal family, who amassed their wealth by plundering other countries, would never care about such a reputation.]

In any case, in the eyes of the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire, the empire didn't have a good reputation in the world anyway, so as long as he didn't care, it was equivalent to not losing anything.

Wouldn't it be better to use this huge sum of money to support the royal warbands, the royal army, and your own personal guard?

Following this incident, the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire, through his own channels, provided you with the Black Gold Armor manufacturing equipment that the Red Heart Society had been desperately needing.

Of course, the current equipment for creating the Black Gold Armor is still very rudimentary; it can be said to be in the form of a prototype.

However, the Crimson Heart Society possesses the most complete and cutting-edge technologies of the Black Gold Armor, so upgrading this model would be quite simple and quick.

[In July of the 127th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you expanded the Guardian Corps to fifteen units, and the total strength of the Guardian Corps increased to 7.]

After all, the Red Heart Battle Formation can utilize the strength of 20,000 professionals to the greatest extent possible. For the Red Heart Society's military force, a unit of 20,000 is the optimal solution for military utilization efficiency.

This aggressive expansion of the military has put the Federal Armed Forces on edge.

[Let's not even mention the Red Heart Battle Group!]

[Fifteen Super-Tier Battle Groups, what is the Red Heart Society up to?]

[Or rather, what is that ninth-level professional behind the Red Heart Society up to?]

Under these circumstances, even the Federal Headquarters was somewhat dissatisfied with the Red Heart Society's development.

[When the ten seventh-tier professionals formed an investigation team to restrict the Red Heart Society's guard group, they saw a black figure emanating an aura of power from afar.]

The moment the investigation team reluctantly entered the area, an indescribable, all-encompassing suppression instantly froze them in place.

【field!】

This is absolutely the power of the domain!

【roll! 】

The figure in black let out a furious shout and turned to leave.

After the oppressive force dissipated, the investigation team exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

[Subsequently, they reported this matter to the military headquarters.]

Upon receiving this news, the Minister of War sighed softly and then ordered a retreat.

With Jiuzhuan directly intervening, what could they do besides obey Gun's orders?

In November of the 127th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society began establishing branches in Xishan Province and Qingdong Province.

The powerful families of Xishan Province control the Federation's main energy channels; in a sense, they sometimes dare to go against the Federation's General Office.

Therefore, the Red Heart Society gained a foothold in Xishan Province. With millions of people in Xishan Province joining the Red Heart Society, it immediately infringed upon the interests of the powerful families in Xishan Province.

[Especially the actions of the Chixin Society in standing up for the lower classes and attacking the businesses of established families, which are even more intolerable to the established families of Xishan Province.]

[Especially when communicating with the Shangdu aristocratic family, the Shangdu family kept stirring things up from the sidelines, even secretly sending a batch of anonymous military personnel to the Xishan Province aristocratic family as support.]

After all, the Shangdu aristocratic families wanted to use the Xishan provincial aristocratic families as pawns to test the true strength and confidence of the Chixin Society.

Thus, with the constant flattery and instigation from the Shangdu aristocratic families, coupled with their use of money and resources to pave the way and guide public opinion from within the Xishan Province aristocratic families, the fuse was finally ignited.

[In this matter, powerful families in Dongshan and Qingdong provinces have also begun to exert their influence behind the scenes.]

After all, they had all received warnings from the Federal Headquarters. Therefore, under these circumstances, Xishan Province, a country with little foothold in the Federal Center but which ran rampant due to its regional energy resources, was the perfect test subject for them.

The powerful families of Nanyun Province wouldn't dare to do it, and the powerful families of Shangdu wouldn't dare to provoke the Red Heart Society, but they dare!

[Pick up your weapons and fight!]

The Xishan family, fearless and undeterred!

Anyone who dares to infringe upon the interests of the Xishan family will have to pay with their life!

Thus, emboldened by the encouragement and allure of profits from powerful families in surrounding provinces, the Xishan family erupted.

That night, the Shi family of Xishan Province murdered the local branch leader of the Red Heart Society and hung his body on the branch's signboard, where it swayed in the wind.

They wanted to show the Red Heart Society that this was the price for provoking the powerful families of Xishan Province!

Anyone who comes will die!

Chapter 108 Slaughtering the Entire Family, Killing Them All (5k)

When this news reached the Red Heart Society, all its members were instantly in an uproar.

[The photos and videos, especially those showing the corpse of the Red Heart Branch President hanging at the branch's premises, plunged the entire Red Heart Society into a frenzied rage.]

The president of the Red Heart Branch is definitely considered a high-ranking member of the Red Heart Society.

[But now, the Xishan family has murdered the president of the Red Heart Branch and then, in an insulting manner, hung his corpse on the Red Heart Branch's emblem.]

This is blatant provocation!

This is a declaration of war!

This is an insult to the Red Heart Society, a sign of hostility towards all its members, and a blatant disregard for the Red Heart Battle Group and the Guardian Battle Group!

You immediately announced that all escort regiments should depart for Xishan Province.

The purpose of the Red Heart Society in establishing the Guardian Corps is to protect all its members and, more importantly, to give them the confidence to go anywhere without fear.

With a powerful guard and loyal guard groups standing behind them, no one can recklessly suppress or humiliate members of the Red Heart Society!

As the escort fleet set off, numerous prominent families, including those from Shangdu, Dongshan, and Qingdong provinces, watched from the sidelines.

They also wanted to see just how far the Red Heart Society could go.

Even with powerful connections, one probably can't act too recklessly.

[Based on their speculation, once the Red Heart Society's escort force arrives in Xishan Province, they will kill the culprits and then punish the powerful families of Xishan Province. That should be enough to settle the matter.]

At most, under the wrath of thunder, one or two powerful families will be wiped out.

They need to find the basis for future cooperation or struggle with the Red Heart Society from this reaction.

If the Red Heart Society is truly all bark and no bite, merely intimidating the Xishan families, then they'll know what to expect from them in the future.

Therefore, the various aristocratic families cooperated very well with the mobilization of the Red Heart Battle Group.

[Especially the prominent families of Shangdu, who were worried that the teleportation array connecting Nanhe Province and Xishan Province wouldn't have enough energy, secretly sent people over at night to replenish it.]

The Federal Headquarters and the military are also paying close attention to this matter.

Out of respect for the ninth-level expert, they did not send anyone to stop them.

Of course, there's no need to stop it.

[After all, the Xishan family courted disaster first. If they don't allow the Chixin Society to retaliate and vent their emotions, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later.]

The destruction of black markets in cities like Yuncheng and Jiangcheng serves as a cautionary tale.

If we really anger that powerful figure behind it all, we can't just let him wipe out Xishan Province too, can we?

At that time, we will inevitably have to ask our powerful ancestor for help.

To protect the interests of other powerful families, they would ask their own patriarch to interfere with his cultivation retreat. How incredibly stupid would someone have to be to do something like that?

[Unsurprisingly, under the watchful eyes of the Federal Center and the surrounding aristocratic families, the unexpected happened.]

The Red Heart Society's wrath and retaliation came with far greater force than anyone had anticipated.

[After the Red Heart Battle Group and the Guardian Battle Group descended upon Xishan Province, a bloody massacre targeting the Xishan aristocratic families began.]

The Xishan family wasn't stupid either. Seeing the Chixin Society's aggressive approach, they had originally chosen a representative to negotiate compensation and terms with them.

[After all, from the perspective of the aristocratic families, what's the death of a commoner who wasn't from an aristocratic family?]

Is it even more precious than the energy crystals found in several mountain ranges?

Is there anything in this world that cannot be solved with extraordinary resources?

But what awaited them was the executioner's blade.

[The Red Heart Society members approached menacingly, brandishing knives, their hearts filled with unparalleled rage. Were they here to reason with the other side?]

Reasoning can be done!

Go and talk to the guards wielding their greatswords!

[The blood mist that erupted after the Crimson Heart Battle Formation, through the convergence of energy, killed the aristocratic professionals could indeed be viewed as fireworks.]

【kill! 】

【Only kill! 】

Only then can these arrogant noble families understand that they are human, not gods!

[The only option is to hold the knife to their necks, to slice their throats with a sharp sword, and to let their crimson blood splatter around them, only then will they realize that they too can die.]

[The powerful families from the surrounding provinces, upon witnessing this brutal massacre through various sophisticated observation instruments, were utterly stunned.]

They considered killing, even wiping out their entire family.

[But I never imagined that Chi Xin would wipe out the entire aristocratic family group in Xishan Province, and that he would come knocking on their doors one by one with their family genealogies, killing them all without leaving a single one alive!]

Such brutality has crossed the red line in the power struggle within the Federation!

[In the hundreds of years since the Federation was founded, no other power has ever fought like this!]

The number of people who died in Xishan Province that night alone was almost equal to the death toll of a major war on the border.

How can this be tolerated?

Even if the Red Heart Society has a ninth-level professional backing them, they can't act so recklessly!

Unless a ninth-level professional intervenes, their protests... will likely shift from open and aboveboard demonstrations to quiet, discreet protests.

They also didn't believe that the Federal Headquarters and the Military would allow the Red Heart Society to act so recklessly.

As for the Nine Revolutions behind the Red Heart Society?

【Then let the Federal Office handle it. Anyway, they only handle complaints; if anything really happens, it has nothing to do with them.】

[In a short time, a large number of complaints were received from various provinces and arrived at the Federal Headquarters.]

[Of course, behind the scenes, these aristocratic families have undergone a dramatic change in their attitude towards the Red Heart Society, and have even begun to mobilize their own forces to actively cooperate with the Red Heart Society's expansion.]

[Furthermore, some prominent families subtly inquired whether they could join the Red Heart Society.]

After all, who wouldn't want to join an organization like the Red Heart Society, which is extremely protective of its own and possesses formidable military power?
