Calm Waves

The Fernando family's mutation did not attract outside attention, as all those in the know were kept under control.

As for the intense internal changes occurring in many gangs in Manila's Tondo district today, they did not reveal the Homo sapiens Company's actions behind the scenes.

After all, these gangs had good relations with the Fernando family and the Lopez family before. Since neither of the involved families spoke up, other families naturally wouldn't meddle.

It's worth noting that among Luzon's five major families, the Marcus family's sphere of influence is in the northern part of Luzon island; the Xu-Aquino family is in the central part of the Luzon archipelago and the Manila region; the Arroyo family is in the central part of Luzon island and the Manila region.

The Fernando family is in the southern part of Luzon island, and the Lopez family is in the Manila region.

Besides these, there are many other medium-sized families with considerable strength, such as the Chinese Chen family, the Sinicized Chinese Tusson family, and the indigenous Du family.

These families each have their own territories and areas of operation.

The vast majority of gang forces in Manila are affiliated with the Fernando family and the Lopez family. Other families will not easily intervene until they have a clear understanding of the situation.

This gave the Homo sapiens Company a buffer period.

Li Qingye never fought a battle he wasn't sure of. This time, the surprise attack on eight gangs in Manila and the capture of Jacques Fernando and Dolittle Lopez were all within his plan.

He didn't give other forces time to react, directly launching a decapitation strike combined with a blitzkrieg.

With the heads of the two major families in hand, all of this would be disguised as internal strife.

The next day, early in the morning.

Many high-ranking officials within the Lopez family learned the "truth": it was the Fernando family that had internal conflict. Garfield, in league with his uncle Harry, had kicked his elder brother Mada out of the Manila region.

As for why even the gangs under the Lopez family were affected, it was because the Fuqing Gang had offended Garfield. The specific grievances are unknown.

In any case, the current head of the Lopez family has no intention of pursuing the matter further, as Garfield offered the Lopez family an offer they couldn't refuse.

According to the public statement, Jade Energy, which controls the southern Luzon electricity market, will cooperate with Manila Electric Company, controlled by the Lopez family, and they will exchange shares.

Jade Energy will give 30% of its shares to Manila Electric, and Manila Electric will give 15% of its shares to Jade Energy.

This is the first layer.

The second layer, which many people have seen through, is that Garfield used Jade Energy's shares to apologize to the Lopez family and asked them to let the Tondo incident go.

This is also why the Lopez family quickly calmed their anger.

However, there is a third, unknown layer.

That is, the head of the Lopez family has become one of the Homo sapiens Company's own people. The share exchange is merely a sleight of hand, like switching from one hand to the other.

For now, they will let the Lopez family enjoy their moment of triumph and stabilize the internal situation of the Lopez family. After some time, when Dolittle Lopez has been completely transformed, it will be the time for the Homo sapiens Company to completely annex the Lopez family.

As the two major families reached an agreement, the other families were greatly disappointed and quickly forgot about the Tondo incident.

At the same time.

By eradicating the eight gangs in the Manila region, Li Qingye gained a large number of personnel.

For example, Zhang Hao and the others, who passed the initial tests and were injected with biochips, were all granted Administrator Programs and incorporated into the Spider Web sequence.

Some of these individuals will be assigned to various departments within the company, while others will become members of the Security Department and be deployed to other regions.

In addition, the mid-level and lower-level members of those gangs, after careful screening, will be transformed into soldiers if they are extremely evil, and the remaining individuals will be reassigned to various locations.

According to Chen Jianxiong and Fili's statistics, a total of 1372 people were selected. These scum will be transformed into soldiers to contribute to the Homo sapiens Company.

With so many personnel, many of Li Qingye's plans have been accelerated.

For example, the infiltration of intelligence networks worldwide. With so many managers and soldiers, expansion will naturally be much faster.

There are also the members of the special operations team "Blood Blade." He has separated Blood Blade from the Security Department and placed it under the management of Gurion (codename Tarantula), the former deputy head of the Security Department. The Blood Blade special operations team will no longer be subordinate to the Security Department but will report directly to Li Qingye.

The current number of members in the Blood Blade special operations team has increased to 372. Tarantula will be fully responsible for their training and management.

More than two weeks have passed since the Tondo incident.

The time is now January 17, 2019.

With the assistance of the Fernando family this year, the Homo sapiens Company has opened more covert shell companies for the sale of eel fry.

Many of these shell companies own fishing boats and farms, making the eel fry sales business much safer.

Before the Spring Festival, a total of 39,000 eel fry were sold, with an average price of $17,300 per unit, generating revenue of $670 million.

There will be another market wave after the Spring Festival, and they can still bring in hundreds of millions of dollars.

What do you call making money?

This is making money, faster than robbing a bank.

Although the total assets of the entire Fernando family reach over 40 billion US dollars, a large portion of it is fixed assets, such as real estate, plantations, and mines.

The Fernando family's annual profit is only around 400 to 500 million US dollars, which is far behind the Homo sapiens Company.

The power of technology is sometimes unreasonable.

During the Spring Festival this year.

Li Qingye did not return to his base camp in Darte Port but continued to stay in his manor in Manila.

During this period, Dolittle Lopez, the head of the Lopez family, and several villains selected from the Lopez family were successively transformed into soldiers.

It is indeed too easy to find such scum in these major families.

However, finding suitable candidates to become Managers proved difficult.

Garfield was chosen, partly because compared to his elder brother Mada, he was considered a relatively decent person.

Although he also enjoyed playing around, he valued mutual consent. Those gold-digging women and minor celebrities actively threw themselves at him, unlike Mada and Radis, who preferred to use force.

Mada and Radis were utterly depraved, and even within the Fernando family, there were significant reservations about the two of them.

Garfield and Harry were still considered human to some extent. If they too were utterly depraved, they would likely be modified into Soldiers.

Now, finding suitable Managers for the Lopez family to join the Spider Web was truly a troublesome matter.

The main issue was that among the core members of the Lopez family, they were either utterly depraved or mere children.

If they were to select from the branches, it would seem somewhat abrupt.

With no suitable candidates available for the time being, Li Qingye could only select five Managers from the current Spider Web and have them join the Lopez family. They would become the overt advisors to Dolittle and others, but in reality, these Managers would control the Lopez family.

Besides handling these matters, Li Qingye had another reason for staying in Manila during the Spring Festival.

A target he had been paying attention to would be visiting Manila for tourism during the Spring Festival.

Initially, Li Qingye had planned to have Chen Jianxiong send people to Borneo in Malaysia after the New Year to lure that fellow out when the opportunity arose. He hadn't expected the person to deliver himself.
