Closing the red book, a fire lit up in Ye Fan's palm, and the red book gradually turned into a pile of ashes in Ye Fan's palm.
This was his own information. Although the core secret had not been leaked, there were still many things that had been investigated very clearly, so he absolutely could not let others see it. It was unknown just how many people had come to the Heavencraft Tower to buy his information.
The influence of the Star Association wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. After all, they had only defeated the Spring River Pavilion. The small powers under the Spring River Pavilion would still have to clear out the territory to be considered part of the Astral Society.
However, he soon understood that this worry was completely unnecessary. Not long after he finished reading the report, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
"Who?"
Ye Fan did not leave the room, and directly asked with a deep voice.
"Reporting to the leader, it's me, Qian Shangyu."
A voice came from outside the courtyard. It was Qian Shangyu.
"What is it?"
Ye Fan asked.
"Reporting to President, Vice President Shi has asked me to invite you to the meeting room."
Qian Shangyu replied.
Didn't I tell Vice President Shi? All matters in the Spring River Pavilion can be arranged by him. Do any of you not want to listen to vice head Shi's orders? "
Ye Fan was startled, but his tone revealed anger.
"Reporting to the Leader, this is not the case. However, the eleven small faction leaders under the Spring River Pavilion have come together. Vice President Shi felt that it would be better for you to personally receive them. "
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"I understand. You go first, I'll be right there."
Ye Fan said in a deep voice, he did not expect the other party to come so quickly, and as soon as he thought of them, they all came to visit.
After cleaning up simply, Ye Fan left the small courtyard. When he discovered that Qian Shangyu was still waiting outside, he couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Why are you still here?"
"Reporting to Vice President Shi, Vice-head Shi told me to explain these people's intentions on coming to the meeting hall, so I didn't dare to leave."
Qian Shangyu said with his head lowered.
"Then let's go together. What are they doing here?"
Ye Fan nodded, and then asked softly.
"Reporting to the leader, these eleven small powers have united to write a submission letter. They are willing to submit to our Star Association and have come here today to pay their respects."
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"This is a good thing. This way, we can avoid a war and rest for our brothers."
Ye Fan could not help but laugh.
"However, they have put forward a few conditions. Vice President Shi means for you to consider them."
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"What condition?" "Tell me about it."
Ye Fan glanced at Qian Shangyu and asked.0
"Firstly, the monthly contribution they paid to the Spring River Pavilion is 20% of their monthly earnings. I hope we can maintain this level." Your subordinate has already sent people to verify this point.
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"Sure."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Second, their previous operations within their sphere of influence were all independent, so I hope that we, the Star Association, will not interfere with their operations. This has been verified, indeed. "
Qian Shangyu said again.
"This rule is also accurate."
Ye Fan nodded his head and said.
"Third, the Spring River Pavilion was on good terms with the City Guards before, so their region can be exempted from taxes and taxes. Therefore, these small powers want to ask if there is such treatment in the future. If possible, they also hope that we, Stars, will be on good terms with the City Guards. "
Qian Shangyu said again.
Hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked towards Qian Shangyu. Qian Shangyu hastily stopped as well and waited respectfully for Ye Fan's reply. However, he understood in his heart that this reply would not be pleasant.
"Old Qian, do you think they are afraid of us, or do you think we are afraid of them?"
Ye Fan asked Qian Shangyu.
"They came to surrender on their own accord. Naturally, they are afraid of the lord's might, which is why they are afraid of the wind. There is no doubt about this."
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"But why does their third condition seem to be directing us?" Did someone intentionally order them to do this, or did they feel that eleven small powers, when joining hands, would be able to stand up to us? "
Ye Fan said in a serious tone.
"The leader is overthinking things. I think they are thinking for their own business. After all, the tax on the City Guards is not small. They are almost drawing 10% of the profit."
Qian Shangyu said in a deep voice.
"If that's the case, then that's for the best. If it's not, then I think we can only meet with their weapons. Are there any other conditions? "
Ye Fan said with a cold smile.
"Reporting to the leader, there's no more."
Qian Shangyu replied in a deep voice.
"Alright, I'll go meet them!"
Ye Fan laughed coldly, then walked straight into the Meeting Room. When he and Qian Shangyu entered the meeting hall, they saw the eleven unfamiliar faces on both sides and knew that they were the leaders of the eleven small factions.
