Mike continued to explain his new arrangements to Qin Xuan, laying out his plan in full.
He had originally intended to replace Hu Da and James by joining their ventures, becoming a dual representative for the Rothschild consortium and Prince Abimelech.
However, now that he was following Qin Xuan, he couldn't use his old methods.
Fortunately, Qin Xuan's status was also quite prominent at the moment.
Setting aside the title of Grand General of Longguo bestowed by the Longguo government,
Simply being the direct grandson of the patriarch of the number one family in Longguo was enough for him to leverage.
Yes, Qin Xuan had not yet taken over any Qin family businesses.
But the title of direct grandson of the patriarch was very real.
This meant that no matter what operations he undertook next, he could unreservedly use the label of the Qin family, the foremost family in Longguo.
With this, even if Chris and Boris were backed by world-renowned colossal consortiums, they would have to carefully consider their actions if they wanted to deal with him.
Coupled with the fact that the martial arts competition would officially begin in a few days.
With Qin Xuan's abilities, he was bound to achieve considerable results and gain worldwide renown.
At that time, the response policies that those consortiums had just finalized would likely change again.
And by the time they had fully settled on their countermeasures, Mike would have already integrated Hu Da and James's businesses.
"Your idea is perfectly sound."
"Although most of the Qin family members do not fully recognize me, no one dares to deny my name."
"Let's do it this way. Feel free to proceed with confidence."
After hearing Mike's entire plan, Qin Xuan immediately approved it.
However, he still had some questions regarding the details.
For instance, although Chris and Boris couldn't engage in full-scale conflict, they could obstruct Mike's actions in other ways within their capabilities.
If things truly escalated, those two might even disregard their consortiums and act on their own.
"You are correct."
"I've considered these points as well."
"However, I don't have any particularly good solutions for this issue at the moment."
"Therefore, it can only be considered one of the risks that must be borne when undertaking great endeavors."
"But rest assured, based on my understanding of these two individuals, they would absolutely not resort to such extreme actions unless absolutely necessary."
"As long as we are slightly cautious in certain aspects, we can essentially handle this risk perfectly."
To reassure Qin Xuan, Mike brought up some points that required attention during the execution of the plan.
However, as he spoke towards the end, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Alas..."
"It's a shame that my rise has been too rapid, and I haven't had time to build a subordinate team that I can fully trust."
"Otherwise, the success rate of this plan would increase directly from ninety-five percent to one hundred percent!"
Mike's words were filled with unwillingness and helplessness.
Currently, among his subordinates, only Sean was one hundred percent loyal to him.
And besides Sean, most of his so-called confidantes were actually bought with money.
They could be trusted, but not entirely.
Otherwise, the incident of their information being jointly blocked today wouldn't have happened.
Qin Xuan was also very understanding of Mike's helplessness.
However, he himself was almost a lone wolf. Not only could he not provide Mike with a reliable team, but he himself still relied on Yuan Mengqi and the others to be so at ease.
"Never mind, let's deal with this matter first."
"Once the power struggle in La Cheng concludes, with your capabilities, you will surely be able to quickly assemble a team."
Patting Mike's shoulder, Qin Xuan expressed his inability to help.
But just as the two were shaking their heads in helplessness and preparing to discuss further, Inoue Haruzakura, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Qin, I think I can help with this matter."
"You?!"
Upon hearing Inoue Haruzakura's voice, Qin Xuan and Mike both turned their gaze towards the beautiful girl from Dongying simultaneously.
Mike's understanding of Inoue Haruzakura was limited to that of the gambling king of Dongying.
Although he didn't know why she was with his boss, he could guess the general situation.
As for Qin Xuan's gaze towards Inoue Haruzakura, it was far more complex than Mike's.
He knew what this girl was thinking at the moment, but he hadn't had a proper conversation with her due to their constant movement.
Her主动 offering of help now clearly stemmed from her special feelings for him.
But he didn't want Inoue Haruzakura to misunderstand, so he was about to ask Mike to leave so he could have a good talk with her.
However, to his surprise, as soon as Qin Xuan suggested Mike leave, Inoue Haruzakura shook her head.
Using her clear and cold maiden voice, she said to Qin Xuan, "No need, Mr. Qin. I understand your thoughts."
"There's no need to hide this matter."
"Very well." Qin Xuan nodded gently upon hearing this.
Mike also sat on a nearby chair, looking like an onlooker.
Seeing this, Inoue Haruzakura cleared her throat slightly, then parted her red lips and revealed all her thoughts.
"You mentioned before that you have a girlfriend, which is essentially your way of implying that you cannot marry me."
"However, I cannot repay your life-saving grace, nor can I refuse your help to the Kamono family."
"Therefore, in this case, Inoue Haruzakura is willing to lead the entire Kamono family to pledge allegiance to you, just like Mr. Mike."
"In the future, no matter what requests you make, we will obey unconditionally, and we only ask that you provide protection to the Kamono family when needed."
"To preserve the last bloodline of my Kamono family."
"This..."
Looking at Inoue Haruzakura, who had directly knelt down and performed a kowtow, Qin Xuan was momentarily speechless and at a loss.
His original intention in saving her was indeed to subdue the Kamono family for his own use.
Exposing Inoue Haruzakura's gambling skills was just one part of it.
It was just that he hadn't expected the Kamono family to have a rule about marriage upon physical contact.
He also hadn't expected Inoue Haruzakura to be so decisive, actively leading the family to defect even if it meant pledging allegiance to him.
However, the final outcome was still developing in the direction Qin Xuan had anticipated.
Her主动 offer also saved him a lot of trouble.
Therefore, after a brief pause, Qin Xuan decisively accepted her request.
"Oh, alright!"
"This way, our lovely team has grown again."
"Miss Inoue Haruzakura, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Mike Jones, and I am the first subordinate under the boss."
After Inoue Haruzakura stood up again, Mike somewhat theatrically reintroduced himself to her.
Inoue Haruzakura smiled slightly and extended her right hand to lightly shake his.
"Hello, Mr. Mike. My original name is Kamono Haruzakura. I was originally a member of the Kamono family in Dongying, and now, I am the Master's only young maid."
Qin Xuan: "Pfft..."
