Chapter 186 Revelation

Fang Yue was stunned. What was going on?

Ever since returning to Chu Nuan City, the young miss had kept her temper in check quite well. Why did she suddenly lose it today, smashing things around the room like a madwoman?

Accompanied by the sound of various objects falling and breaking, Fang Yue opened the door and entered the room.

*Swish swish*

Correspondence?

Fang Yue was first taken aback, then immediately reacted, his eyes widening.

"Then, doesn't that mean your Da Yang Merchant Troupe is also related to the Phoenix Organization? A subordinate organization of the Phoenix Organization?"

"I don't know. Father never told me about this. No wonder he reacted so strongly when we said we wanted to investigate the Phoenix Organization before. He probably knew some of the inside information about the Phoenix Organization, but he just wouldn't tell us."

Fang Yue was excited. That was great.

If the Da Yang Merchant Troupe was related to the Phoenix Organization, then it would be much easier for him to investigate.

After all, the young miss was on his side, right?

After carefully understanding the situation, Fang Yue realized that things were not that simple.

Just as the Black Crow Merchant Troupe had mentioned, the Phoenix Organization was a very cautious organization.

The so-called subordinates were all arranged on a one-to-one basis.

In other words, the Da Yang Merchant Troupe could only contact one superior, and because the heir had changed, it might not even be useful.

"If we kill the informant corresponding to the Da Yang Merchant Troupe, or betray him, then our Da Yang Merchant Troupe will be clearly marked by the Phoenix Organization as a traitor and become a target for cleansing," the young miss said with a grim expression.

She originally thought she was going to investigate the Phoenix Organization with Fang Yue and overthrow the evil dragon that dominated Chu Nuan City.

But... the clown was actually herself?

As a subordinate of the Phoenix Organization, if she dared to resist the Phoenix Organization, she would definitely be detected and purged immediately.

The Da Yang Merchant Troupe could not withstand such a blow.

Originally, the Da Yang Merchant Troupe should have secretly investigated the Phoenix Organization and then handed it over to Fang Yue to deal with, while they hid behind the scenes.

Although this was a bit despicable, Fang Yue was the one who was going to deal with the Phoenix Organization in the first place. As part of the deal, providing information about the Phoenix Organization had already fulfilled the requirements.

But now, continuing to investigate would bring the Da Yang Merchant Troupe to the surface, exposing it to the sunlight, and the level of danger would increase exponentially.

"Give me the information. I'll hide my identity well and not let the other party detect who I am."

"Once the one-to-one informant dies, it doesn't matter who you are. The Da Yang Merchant Troupe is bound to suffer. This is the merchant troupe that Father built up with his own hands. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands..."

The young miss said painfully. Through the information, she learned how much bloodshed the Da Yang Merchant Troupe had experienced along the way, and that behind it, without the support of the Phoenix Organization, the ones who should have stayed in Chu Nuan City would have been other merchant troupes.

In other words, without the Phoenix Organization, there would be no Da Yang Merchant Troupe.

The bloody transaction details, the dirty deals of transporting *renyao* (human medicine) and even *yaoren* (medicine people) materials for the Phoenix Organization, made her tremble with fear.

The young miss had never imagined that her father, such an honest person, would agree to do such outrageous things.

Although after the initial capital accumulation, the Da Yang Merchant Troupe quickly diluted its connection with the Phoenix Organization, and later basically only completed the tasks assigned by its superior about once a year.

This was also one of the reasons why it was clearly an old merchant troupe that had been rooted in Chu Nuan City for so many years, but was still doing so poorly.

Even so, looking at her father's hands, which were once stained with blood, and how he had turned into a demon for the sake of this merchant troupe, the young miss still felt that the image of the hero in her heart had collapsed.

The image of the person she had always admired since she was a child, who had single-handedly built the Da Yang Merchant Troupe, and who, although she felt that his operating philosophy was outdated, had supported her and her siblings, had collapsed.

With her mentality exploding, the young miss lost her temper and became what she was now.

"The world is a cold and heartless place. I don't think the troupe leader was willing to do those evil things either. He just had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves. That's the Phoenix Organization!" Head Butler Hai finally found an opportunity to interject and comfort her.

That was not necessarily the case. Later on, it might have been because he was afraid of the Phoenix Organization that he had no choice but to complete the tasks assigned by his superior.

But in the beginning, Troupe Leader Yang must have taken the initiative to cooperate with the Phoenix Organization in order to seek development.

"Young miss, give me the information. After I read it, I guarantee that I won't go looking for trouble with your superior. In fact, I have other channels to find some information about the Phoenix Organization. For example... the three merchant troupes that you asked me to visit today are actually all involved with the Phoenix Organization! Maybe they are all subordinates of the Phoenix Organization, just like your Da Yang Merchant Troupe!"

What?!

The young miss and Head Butler Hai were shocked.

They were still immersed in the shock of the Da Yang Merchant Troupe suddenly becoming a subordinate of the Phoenix Organization when they learned that the competing peers next door were also subordinates of the Phoenix Organization.

Was everyone really an internal mole??

"Then I don't understand. Since they are also members of the Phoenix Organization, why do they target us everywhere? Judging from the fierce competition in the past, they couldn't wait to destroy us," the young miss couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Either... they, like us, don't know that the other party is a subordinate of the Phoenix Organization, or even if they do know, the higher-ups don't interfere with the competition at the bottom. In terms of the Phoenix Organization's size, they simply don't care about the life or death of small merchant troupes like us," Head Butler Hai analyzed.

Wasn't this just like raising Gu?

The young miss quickly understood.

The Phoenix Organization was aloof and did not care about the life or death of its subordinates, nor did it care about the infighting of its subordinates.

They only cared about whether the tasks they issued were completed by the people below. As for the rest, probably no one cared.

If the Da Yang Merchant Troupe fell as a result, they could just support another merchant troupe.

Thinking of this, the young miss's face turned ugly.

"In that case, the Phoenix Organization is just a burden to us!"

It didn't provide protection, only demanded benefits. What was this if not a burden?

The young miss quickly handed over a large stack of documents to Fang Yue.
