Chapter 6: First Steps & Ninth Heaven
As Nan'Ke had just finish formulating his short-term future plans, he yawned, tired from all the happenings of what went on during the afternoon and now with the amount of information he had digested from Dawn he was exhausted. Putting aside everything for now he went to bed thinking 'tomorrow will be the start of a new journey, the start of 'ZHANG'. The room fell into silence as Nan'Ke drifted to sleep until a voice spoke [I really hope that this host intrigues me, I don't want to be stuck here for next 100 years without any entertainment]. Quietness return to the room as Dawn finish speaking.

Si City, Shan Prefecture
In the City of Si, the only other city located in Shan prefecture, a motorcade of blacked out vehicles was just arriving at 'The Lounge' a famous restaurant across the prefecture where people from other districts would come over to Si City just to go to The Lounge. As the cars arrive at the entrance a young man steps out, fixing his luxurious suit before proceeding to enter the establishment. He was Mu Chen who arrive at the restaurant for a meeting with the leading members of Ninth Heaven, the organization he had created since he was just 18 years old. His only goal was to take over the underworld whether it be from local gangs, outside influencers or the local powerful families.
"Are the rest of them here already?" He ask his assistant, who replies that they were waiting for him on the top floor in the VVIP room. There were currently six figureheads including Mu Chen himself leading Ninth Heaven, all having special status of their own. They were Gu Wei the second young master of the Gu family in Shan Prefecture, Wang Ming an expelled descendant from the Wang family in the capital, the Mei Twins Mei Yan & Mei Yi who were former leaders of a local gang but was subdue and integrated into Ninth Heaven and Mako an overseas mercenary who is currently trying to start over his life here in Long country, he was involve in shady dealings for gang leaders before being offered a new path by Mu Chen in becoming a leader himself.
Mu Chen had already entered the room and exchanges greeting with his fellow members before getting down to business. "Gu Wei the Deputy Mayor is no more, is your older brother Gu Wen ready to take his place?" Mu Chen asked. "Yes big brother Chen everything is put in place he would assume office three days later, they are just finishing the formalities. He sent his thanks for giving him the opportunity.'' Gu Wei replied, his brother Gu Wen was a high ranking civil servant in the municipal office and with the death of the Deputy Mayor and the help of Mu clan he would become the new Deputy Mayor.
"The Xiao Clan isn't going to take this lying down, the former deputy mayor was a blood cousin of the current patriarch son, they will retaliate" Wang Ming said making sure that everyone wasn't complacent and the job is not done. (A/N: R.I.P Kobe) Hearing this Mako replied "don't worry my spies would report back if they are panning something so we would be a step ahead of them at all times". He was responsible of the groups intelligence network seeing only he had the experience while the rest was mainly contributed through resources and connections. However the same can't be said about the Mei Twins as they provided the muscle, if there were any battles or fights to be had they would provide the necessary force to deal with the situation.
As everything they discuss was inline with the plan they had sent out, the group didn't converse for long and disperse into the night until their presence were required again. On his way back home Mu Chen face was buried into his phone as he was reading the headlines on one of the most popular social media app in Long country called 'Chirp' where users would spread the latest gossip they heard hoping others would also hear it to either confirm or deny the said news. Currently the headlines read; "Superstar Jiang Chen to go abroad for new movie role", "Singer Ming Yu new song releases today, would it bit a hit or miss?" His eyes directly fell on the last report which said "Xiang Hua, one of the capitals' princess is travelling to the country, her next stop Mu city".
Mu Chen smiles when reading this because he knows who Xiang Hua is, the only granddaughter of Xiang Tong the current head of the Xiang family. The Xiang family is an ancient clan that dates back to the era before the war started 80 years ago and are still involve in the government to this day. He was planning on having his younger brother approach her during her time in Mu city, he would do it himself but she was still 17 years old the same age with his brother, and would turn 18 later this year. If he approach her to start a relationship even if she would be an adult soon, the optics wouldn't look good seeing how well known she is. 'Well Mu Yen would have to do, I just hope his incompetence don't mess my plans'. He thought thinking about his brother who he deemed to be trash.

Before doing anything he decided to ask Dawn because he needed more information, 'Dawn what is the ratio for life points to attribute point because you never mentioned it' [you didn't ask]
[Anyhow, attributes differ from your personal level and skill level experience so the ration is 100LP is equal to 1AP. It would increase after your attributes has reach a max limit for your current level] [This means that if your attribute for strength has reach its maximum when you at level 1 you would need to increase your level before being able to increase your attribute again] [Your maximum attribute point at level 1 is 20] 'Okay use 500LP to increase my strength to 10 and use 400LP to increase my charm to 10'.
