The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

On the other side, in a stretched Rolls-Royce about one kilometer from the Su family's old house, Ye Xiao, Liu Qing, Gu Ming, Xiao Mingjue, and Mo Yong were all inside.

At this moment, the atmosphere among the five people was extremely strange, even creating a sense of oppressive tension, as if a storm was brewing.

After an unknown period of silence, Ye Xiao broke the silence first.

"If the four of you don't say anything, I'm leaving. Although the Mitsubishi Group is very powerful, with A-Yuan, Qingyan, and Qingxin around, my Ye family can take it over."

Although Ye Xiao said that, Liu Qing, Gu Ming, Xiao Mingjue, and Mo Yong all knew very well that the Ye family would never take all the spoils for themselves. After all, what would the Ye family want to do if they did? Do they want to become the oligarchs of the Dragon Kingdom?

Ye Xiao's words are merely a way of forcing them to take a stand.

To be honest, they didn't expect that just coming to watch the excitement would turn into such a big spectacle.

Just now, Ye Linyuan had sent over his plan. Just one glance from him silenced the five middle-aged men who were discussing where to go fishing and where to play mahjong afterward.

At that moment, a sentence popped into their minds.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!

Then, the second sentence popped up.

The Yangtze River's waves keep pushing the previous ones forward!

Then came the third sentence!

Each generation is stronger than the last!

"Old Xiao, did you have the guts to directly wage war against the number one conglomerate in the Thousand Suns Kingdom back then?"

Xiao Mingjue knew what Ye Linyuan was talking about and shook his head.

"Although we caused quite a stir in the Thousand Sun Kingdom back then, it wasn't really a big deal for them. It hurt them, but it wasn't enough to seriously damage them."

"But A-Yuan's plan is different. If his plan can really succeed, it will be enough to make the Thousand Sun Kingdom suffer terribly. For a considerable period of time, it will probably enter an era of economic depression."

"If I remember correctly, last year the GDP of the Thousand-Day Country was only 662 trillion yen, which is about 30 trillion in Dragon Coins, right?"

Xiao Mingjue, who was standing to the side, nodded and added.

"You're not mistaken. In other words, if we could take over the Mitsubishi Group, it would be equivalent to capturing half a year's GDP of the entire country!"

"That's right. In fact, in terms of sheer size, the Mitsubishi Group alone is enough to keep us well-fed, even satiated, for the next 10 or 20 years!"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Mo Yong said what the others wanted to say but were too embarrassed to say.

"Old Ye, we have absolute faith in your son A Yuan's abilities. However, there's one thing: the Mitsubishi Group is a lucrative target, and our alliance must be unbreakable. It can't be as loose as before, based solely on personal relationships."

Upon hearing Mo Yong's words, Liu Qing, Xiao Mingjue, and Gu Ming all nodded in agreement.

This is why, despite constantly analyzing the feasibility of this matter and the benefits it could bring them, they never mentioned how to get involved.

They never doubted that the core decision-making team, led by Ye Linyuan of the Ye family and assisted by Ye Qingyan and Ye Qingxin, would be able to take down the Mitsubishi Group. What they were worried about was something else!

If their family also had top-tier talents, even those at the level of Ye Linyuan, Ye Qingyan, and Ye Qingxin, or even someone at the level of Su Shiyu, they wouldn't be so conflicted now.

In their view, if the alliance of the eight major families were to attempt to take down the Mitsubishi Group given its current loose structure, even if they succeeded, their families would likely not benefit much. Although under state control, the Ye family would not become the sole dominant force, but in that case, the Ye family would probably reap the most benefits, while they would only get the dregs.

Moreover, while it appears that everyone is splitting the profits equally, in reality, they are actually losing out big time.

If you think about people in the worst possible light, then who knows, their family's core businesses might be taken over by the Ye family.

Ye Xiao nodded. Although he didn't think his precious son would have such thoughts, it was normal for Gu Ming, Xiao Mingjue, Liu Qing, and Mo Yong to have such doubts. After all, this was no small matter like before, but involved a huge multinational conglomerate with 15 trillion dragon coins!

Moreover, the Mitsubishi Group is not only the number one conglomerate in the country, but it can also be said that the Mitsubishi Group has intricate connections with every aspect of the country. Once the Mitsubishi Group is touched, it is no different from touching the foundation of the country!

If Ye Linyuan, Ye Qingxin, and Ye Qingcheng are ruthless enough to use their families as scapegoats, then they will have nowhere to turn and will have no one to turn to for help!

If that time really comes, even with the Dragon Kingdom backing them up, they'll probably be badly injured, if not killed.

This is what they mean by "You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others!"

"So what do you want? If you're not willing, I won't force you. But I think the Su family and the Luo family in the capital will definitely agree, for the sake of our brat."

When this topic came up, the four tycoons present, who controlled the flow of trillions of dollars, all fell silent.

Needless to say, the Su family was a different story. Su Shiyu had even said that she was willing to give up the entire Su family as her dowry to marry Ye Linyuan, something that seemed like a pipe dream to them.

After this period of investigation, they have also discovered that Ye Linyuan and the Luo family of the capital have extremely close ties. Only a fool would believe that there is no relationship between them.

Moreover, if the Luo family were involved, even without them, the combined strength of the Ye, Luo, and Su families could easily crush the Mitsubishi Group!

Although they didn't know exactly how deep the Luo family's assets were, their publicly known businesses already amounted to 7 trillion!

Among these industries are many top internet giants, such as Tencent and JD.com.

Privately, they also estimated the Luo family's final assets, which were between 10 and 12 trillion.

If the Mitsubishi Group is the largest conglomerate in the Thousand Sun Kingdom, then the Luo family is the largest aristocratic family in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Old Ye, let's not beat around the bush, let's just lay it all out."

After a long silence, Xiao Mingjue sighed and slowly spoke.

Now they're the ones who need the Ye family's help...

What? You're saying they could choose not to cooperate with the Ye family and instead form an alliance to besiege the Mitsubishi Group?

Haha, stop dreaming!

Putting aside the fact that without those three freaks from the Ye family making decisions, what kind of mess would their own family members, with their misfits, possibly do against the Mitsubishi Group? In fact, in their eyes, it would be a miracle if they didn't squander their entire fortune.

Moreover, even if they don't get involved and choose to stay out of it, watching the Ye family gradually devour the Mitsubishi Group, it would still be fatal for them!

While others are getting stronger, you are standing still. In a sense, you are getting weaker.

Don't be fooled by the current good relationship between the five families, even though the heads of the families often go fishing and play mahjong together. Faced with a major trend that could determine the rise and fall of a family or clan for the next ten or even twenty years, their relationship is utterly meaningless!

Once the Ye family becomes strong enough, even if they gradually swallow them up, they will most likely not even have the power to resist!

They knew very well that they had to become stronger. Even if they couldn't keep up with the Ye family, they absolutely couldn't fall too far behind, because falling too far behind would be a form of slow suicide!

With that in mind, Xiao Mingjue revealed the idea he had been pondering ever since he saw Ye Linyuan's thoughts!

"The most stable relationship is the one formed through marriage, so I suggest that our families form a marriage alliance!"
