Chapter 614: Chapter 384: What Do You Mean Recruiting Subordinates Can Make You Stronger? (Part 2)

These people usually appear to be more frenzied.

Therefore, he guessed that the price for this engraving was related to mental state.

However, this was already considered a very trivial price for an engraving, which made it much more valuable to them.

After analyzing this piece of intelligence, he gasped in shock; the leader of the Xiao Organization, a man known as "Xue Dili," was terrifying indeed.

If one doesn’t make good relations with him, he cannot be allowed to stay, but if he can be brought on board, his skills might elevate the whole Alben Family to the next level.

Though he didn’t know whether this number is his limit, just having ten thousand was enough to make the head of the branch family interested.

"Is there any collected information on this leader of the Xiao Organization?" Alben continued to ask.

"There is, but it’s really too mundane..." The intelligence officer handed over another piece of information.

In it were all the details of Xue Dili’s original identity; unsurprisingly, he was the son of a prostitute, of the kind that doesn’t even know who his father is, and at 6 years old, his mother was chosen by a lottery to be alien merchandise, after which he started stealing, rummaging through trash bins, and making a living on Flower Street.

He was a bottom-tier existence within the entire ecology of Flower Street.

The only advantage might have been, possibly due to his mother’s influence, that he had a slightly refined appearance, and if he consumed a Gender Transformation Potion, he would definitely become high-quality merchandise.

A person like this, in less than two days, managed to cause a ruckus across Roland City with the Xiao Organization he created, producing tens of thousands of Hero Level henchmen.

Even Alben, upon seeing this mundane intelligence, couldn’t believe it.

Yet things happened just as they did, with the whole of Roland City appearing to be dominated by this Xiao Organization.

"Has this leader of the Xiao Organization taken the Gender Transformation Potion yet?" asked the Patriarch.

"Based on intelligence, no..."

"Perhaps this will be a good opportunity." Alben smiled, then casually said, "Arrange for someone to contact the Xiao Organization and have any inconspicuous maid in the family be granted the surname of Alben and marry him. Promise him the opportunity to change his surname to Alben." This mysterious nobleman ordered directly.

"Yes, make sure she is at least good-looking, as the Xiao Organization is filled with women influenced by the Gender Transformation Potion; she cannot be inferior to them."

"Yes, Patriarch, I understand." The intelligence officer immediately bowed and said.

The family, though astonished by this organization, didn’t view them as a threat to their status.

The son of a prostitute, no matter how competent, could only become the head of a gang.

For them as nobles, even the head of Roland City’s largest gang was only at the level of a house servant.

He was willing to treat with respect, behead, and take on the leader of the Xiao Organization as a dog only because of his exceptionally useful Innate Technique, which made him envious enough to give him the surname Alben.

This mud-legged person was given an opportunity to step up, an opportunity to become a noble.

"Ha, perhaps I’m overthinking it; what mud-legged person has the courage to refuse becoming a noble?" He took off his glasses, rubbed his nose bridge, smiled, and began imagining his future.

With such a powerful engraving, and even over ten thousand Hero Level henchmen, he felt he could return to the main family instead of continuing as a branch family member cultivating gangs in this distant city.

Even within the nobility, internal conflicts were unending, even within the same family.

...

At this time, the intelligence officer, who belonged to the Alben Family’s intelligence department and was also a member of the Alben branch, though without much potential to become a Mystic Scholar, thus managing intelligence.

Upon returning to his study, he immediately said: "I received the Patriarch’s order here; you, just find any female servant, even those once fed with the Gender Transformation Potion would do, have her change the surname to Alben and then go marry the leader of the Xiao Organization. Such a small task doesn’t require my personal involvement."

The person similarly responsible for intelligence immediately bowed, took the Patriarch’s order, and left the study.

He was a formal member of the Alben Family; although he didn’t bear the surname Alben, his parents were the main house’s butler and maid, making him also a legitimately blue-blooded noble member, unlike those who joined later as opportunistic followers.

Merely to contact the leader was such trivial work; how could he do it himself?

What he needed to do was quickly marry a woman with the Alben surname and change his surname to Alben, even as remote branch members.

Since he understood from early on, he targeted someone and was currently working on a strategy, thus such matters of liaising with a gang leader were better left to the aides.

"Come here." He immediately instructed a subordinate, saying, "Here is the order from the Patriarch; just find a woman and go see the gang leader. Say she is the Alben family’s young lady, and have the head of the Xiao Organization submit to the Alben Family."

"Alright, sir." The subordinate nodded and bowed respectfully.

And as he left, the subordinate looked disdainfully at the newly emerging gang force identified as the "Xiao Organization" written above.
