After identifying which families she needed to take care of, Elena did not immediately take action against them. Her main objective was always to have fun, so she was not going to forget her objective for some minor problems.

Just when Elena started to enjoy her noodles, tofu and dumplings which were all local dishes from this place, Han Zhoumin hurriedly entered the room. She looked a bit panicked. Elena did not allow her to speak and give her a bowl of food to fill her belly first. Then she asked -

"What happened ?"

Han Zhoumin quickly stopped eating and started to tell Elena why she was so panicked.

"Madam Elena, quite a few large families had started to create obstacles for our businesses. They are using everything from power to dirty tactics to ruin our businesses. I tried to counter them but they all have a solid foundation in this city, so I was not very successful. Please forgive me."

"It's fine, sister Zhou'er. I know that you did your best in this matter. Even with limited power you were able to actually stop two of the large families completely. I think that's quite impressive. I am now feeling more proud of my choices."

"No, madam. I did nothing special. Without you recruiting so many good personnel, I would not have been able to do anything. But that's the best I can do. What's next ?"

"Don't worry about it. I will take care of this problem myself tomorrow. You just need to keep up the good work."

"Okay, madam. So, now I will take my leave. I have more work left. Thanks for the delicious food."

Then Han Zhoumin bowed and left the room. Elena also went back to sampling the dishes. It was really delicious. Elena was really enjoying it, so she decided to not bother with any trouble for the day. So she would take care of the large families the very next day.

...

The Huang family and Mo family were two of the strongest families present in the White Rock county capital city. They had been competing with each other in various fields of business. But currently they were working together for the first time after both their families became big.

The reason why those two families that had always been rivals suddenly became friends was because of a new business company. This company suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took the market like a hurricane. They brought quite a few shops and started operating them soon afterwards.

The way this company did business was also weird. They sold various products for dirt cheap, especially to the common population. And it also had a few rare and valuable products that large families like them would want, and those were priced very high.

Even though this newcomer just recently started the business, they somehow had a very good grasp of the market. Not only that they also have a reliable supply line and were never out of products.

So at first the Huang family tried to cut off that supply line. But unfortunately he was not able to find any clue as to who was the mysterious supplier. The Mo family on the other hand tried to buy out the shops illegally thinking that they might still have money they needed to pay. In that case, using some connections and money, the Mo family could try to become the true owner of the shop buildings.

It was hard for them to believe that it was possible for someone to buy so many shops at once and having enough money on hand to pay for all of them. So they believed that at most, the owner of the company was paying for those places on an annual basis. In that case, according to the rule of the city, the owner of the shops would not be the true owner of the shop and would be able to only be a temporary owner.

But that was not the case and Elena had bought all the shops completely so, the Mo family could do nothing about it. So, both of the families had no other choice to use barbaric methods like breaking and disturbing the shop and also trying to assassinate the owner of the new company.

That had so roped in other family who would also be affected by the rise of this new rival and were willing to see it getting destroyed. Even the super big Zhang family joined them in this venture as the family had some personal grudge against the owner named Su Yun. So all the families who were eager for the destruction of Red Maple Group were very confident with the support of an extra large family.

But that had no idea that taking forceful strategy was a wrong move and now the strongest being of this world was against them.

...

Those large families were very troublesome to deal with. Elena was not willing to just go and destroy their properties right and left. Those families also had decent human beings in them and making them suffer for some dumb higher ups of the family was not good in Elena's opinion.

But the solution to this problem was very easy. This was a place that was ruled by the strong. Having strength was the main criteria to judge the power. So if Elena just beat up the strongest people of the families, then those families would not be brave enough to still go against her. This would be the optimum solution. And if that did not work then Elena could always just wipe the whole family out or at least get rid of all the troublesome individuals of the family.

She took action immediately after having breakfast. First of all, in the Su Yun getup, she badly beat up all the people who were creating trouble for her company while working for the large families. She beat them up so bad that, people completely stopped taking such jobs as they were very fearful of getting such a terrific beating.

Next she declared the name of the families that were creating those troubles and immediately raided their family. The experts and masters of the family tried to stop her but were unable to do anything and got beaten up black and blue.

Elena then emptied the treasure vault of that family and went to the next targeted family immediately and took the same action. This made various forces scared and they stopped interfering with the Su Yun's business as they did not want to lose their treasures. So, most of the low ranking families stopped harassing the Red Maple Group after this.

But the large families were not scared enough to give up. They did whatever they wanted for a very long time in the city, so their pride and confidence was off the charts.

But still Elena did not take any special action against them and used the same tactics. She raided their house, beat up all the martial artists and immortal cultivators associated with them and then finally took out all the treasures from their treasure vault and left. And only now the stronger large families noticed that even they were ants in front of Su Yun but just slightly bigger ant and with more loot.

...

The Zhang family was a super large family because they had a Grandmaster supporting them. Grandmasters were equivalent to A rankers so it was quite a big deal. The whole city only has 3 three Grandmasters so it was easy to see that the Zhang family held quite a lot of authority in this city.

So, even in their dreams no one expected that even the Zhang family would be treated with the same treatment of beating and looting. When the esteemed grandmaster of Zhang family Zhang Wulong came out, the family members and the observing crowd thought that finally the one sided beating show would stop and they would be able to observe some real fighting.

But that respected grandmaster was also knocked unconscious in just one hit and Elena just said to him.

"I don't like to beat up elderly. And you did not pay any role in the harassment. So I will not beat you up. But don't forget to control your family after this lesson."

This was the last thing that Zhang Wulong heard before losing consciousness and he took it to his heart. Some members of the city security department were coming to arrest Su Yun for acting violently in the city. But as soon as they appeared they saw Su Yun knocked the grandmaster Zhang Wulong unconscious so they immediately halted and then ran away.

This case became a legend in the White Rock county capital city and all the families completely stopped bothering the Red Maple Group completely. The beating they received was enough for their lifetime and they did not have intention of getting more beating. They were not masochists. So Elena's method to solve the problem worked perfectly.

Elena was not completely assured of the safety of the people working on the shops with her gone, so she created another level 600 humans to watch over the shops in secret. And that's how she gave perfect security to everyone working for her.
