Chapter Eleven: The Birth of the Broken Silver Moon – From Shadows to Power
Days passed quickly since the founding of the Broken Silver Moon Organization.
A new entity was born from the depths of ambition, and the building blocks began to fall into place, forming the structure of an organization that would later become a force to be reckoned with.
In this chapter of my life, I understood that success wasn't achieved through dreams alone—it required meticulous planning and relentless effort. With Black Tiger as my right-hand man and the sixteen children who had sworn loyalty, I now had the foundation to establish an underground empire.
As I had expected, the Lin Family was completely destroyed over the past few days.
The news of their downfall shocked many across the Three Continents, and their assets became prime targets for all the major families.
At this moment, I was speaking with Black Tiger.
"Black Tiger, have you completed the mission?"
I spoke in a cold voice while seated in the secret meeting room.
Black Tiger replied, "Yes, sir. The mining rights of the Lin Mines have been successfully seized, and the mines are now under our control. I used the disguise technique as you ordered, and no one dared to oppose me."
I smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Ensure that the workers in the mines operate efficiently and begin exporting the resources. I want a designated percentage of the profits allocated for the development of the Broken Silver Moon Organization."
"Alright, establish or acquire three industrial companies in various fields, including electronics, weapons manufacturing, and metallurgy. You have one month to execute this order."
Black Tiger responded, "As you command, sir."
At the same time, the sixteen children were undergoing rigorous training under Black Tiger's supervision, along with some hired instructors. They were divided into groups based on their age and abilities.
• First Category: Children under the age of 14. They were learning disguise techniques, along with fundamental skills such as hand-to-hand combat, stealth, and spiritual energy techniques.
• Second Category: Children aged 14 and older. These received advanced training, including sword techniques like Border Destruction Sword and Barrier Breaker, alongside spiritual energy techniques, preparing them for admission into combat academies soon.
I visited them periodically to monitor their progress. During this time, their loyalty grew significantly, making it impossible for them to even consider betrayal.
Every time I saw them, I felt they were evolving remarkably, transforming from weak, hopeless children into individuals with ambition and a clear purpose.
The goal of the Broken Silver Moon Organization wasn't merely to train children.
I aimed to establish a network of agents and spies within every corner of the Three Continents.
The plan began by embedding these children into strategic positions across the continent, and I had given Black Tiger clear instructions to accomplish this.
1. Deploying the older children to combat academies: To become spies within those institutions.
2. Sending the younger children to villages and cities: Where they could establish local networks, serving as the organization's eyes and ears.
3. Establishing branch bases: A powerful organization cannot rely on a single location.
After that, a new batch would be recruited.
Despite the rapid progress, I knew this was only the beginning.
The Third Continent was filled with powerful entities, ancient families, and grand sects.
The Broken Silver Moon was merely a small star trying to shine amidst a sky filled with giants.
But I was confident.
Every star starts small, but the sky only belongs to those strong enough to remain.
Black Tiger said, "As you command, young master. We have assembled a team of ambitious young industrial engineers, along with two senior industrial engineers.
Our automotive manufacturing company's staff is complete, and we have secured a contract with the workers' guild.
Everyone is ready to begin work as soon as you give the order.
They have over 50 years of experience in this field and are highly competent. They have the utmost confidence in their abilities.
As for the reserve funds you entrusted to me, I have purchased some properties with high development potential and acquired a well-known metallurgy company with a prestigious brand in the continent.
I will develop it as you command. Here are the details…"
After reviewing the file Black Tiger handed me and carefully verifying its details, I spoke.
"You can direct the team to begin operations in Area A and Area C. As for Area B, I have my own plans. Make sure the employees understand that I expect them to give their best, as they will be generously rewarded.
And inform them that I will personally oversee the work. I have finished designing all the blueprints, and this project will be under the name Silver Phoenix. We will begin work on it next week."
Black Tiger responded, "Rest assured, young master, I will personally supervise the projects. There are already preliminary development plans for these three areas, and the plans for Area B will be put on hold according to your instructions.
The acquisition of the electronics industry company has been successfully completed, and all legal procedures are finalized. The company is already working on the projects you assigned, and they have begun following the blueprint you prepared."
"Did any of them make unreasonable demands?"
Black Tiger replied, "Some minor matters, but nothing extravagant, young master. They are all highly talented, so there is no need for concern."
"Alright, I trust you." I nodded at his words.
The people I had chosen were supposed to become the best in this field in the coming years. But for now, they were just a group of unemployed youth, doing their best to earn a living—and I was taking advantage of that.
Black Tiger added, "I have also assigned an analytical team to the IT company, and the first analysis report on current social media applications will be presented to you soon."
"Good. That's promising."

"Is there anything else?"
Black Tiger replied, "We followed your orders and discovered that the Lin Family's mine contains rare spiritual metals. Not only that, but it also holds high-grade spiritual stones. What are your orders?"
"Ah, this news must not be leaked. If it does, we won't be able to hold onto it, we won't be able to control the situation, and it will be snatched away from us. So, prevent any leaks at all costs."
1. Establish a fake mining company.
2. This company will be our official supplier of metals.
3. Register the company under an external figure, ensuring that no one traces the rare metals and high-grade spiritual stones back to the Lin Family's mine. All rare resources will be recorded under the fake company's name.
"That's all."
Black Tiger said, "Understood, I will carry out your orders."
I placed the file in the desk drawer.
"Alright, I see. This is very good. In any case, I will rely on you for everything.
I am still a child, and even with the disguise technique, it would be difficult for me to manage all these affairs personally.
So, I will be the hidden ruler whom everyone seeks to uncover, while you will be the star that shines in the dark sky."
After discussing a few more matters with Black Tiger, he left my office to carry out his mission.
Once Black Tiger had left, I sat back and recalled the chapter that spoke about the Lin Family's mine.
This mine had been Lin Feng's opportunity during the mid-stage of his rise.
Lin Feng discovered that the mine was the only thing the great families hadn't seized—because it had been abandoned, forsaken by the Lin Family before their downfall.
Upon his discovery, he hired some workers to excavate it and began operating the mine. However, in the first week, he realized that this abandoned mine contained an immense fortune.
From that moment, Lin Feng's status skyrocketed, and he became a wealthy man because of it.
He no longer paid attention to low and mid-grade spiritual stones—he owned the best minerals.
And all of it was thanks to this abandoned mine.
