This was good news for Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan really appreciated Han Jii’s abilities.
This recognition ca not only from Jin Mu’s praise, but also from the previous exchanges between Han Jii and Lin Yuan within the Tribe.
He has a good impression of her.
At least their collaborations have been pleasant, with no complications.
Unlike with Ling Kong.
As soon as the latter took the stage, their cooperation ran into problems.
What made Lin Yuan happiest was that Han Jii brought two outstanding cartoonists!
Although Lin Yuan was prepared for his workload to triple, this would inevitably increase the studio’s workload.
Excluding Jin Mu.
The current studio, including Lin Yuan and Luo Wei, has six people.
Six people simultaneously working on three comics would be doable with Lin Yuan there, but it would be tiring!
Not to ntion...
Once the blog regains the comic rights, the studio would also have to continue serializing The Kindaichi Case Files!
With this in mind.
The studio’s six people might have to juggle the updates of four comics, a schedule that is bound to lead to overworking to the point of baldness.
So.
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan still hopes that everyone would be able to work in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Of course.
Lin Yuan could also continue to hire assistants.
But compared to hiring more assistants, having other cartoonists would obviously be more convenient.
"These two cartoonists; one is Tiann, the other is Yeshenchen, you should know them. After all, they were once top cartoonists of the Tribe too."
Jin Mu introduced.
Lin Yuan nodded. He indeed knew these two cartoonists.
They both have remarkable achievents. If they join the Alliance, they would undoubtedly be of great help.
Now it is settled.
There’s no need for him to stretch himself thin.
"If you have no objections, I’ll get back in touch with Han Jii."
He paused for a mont.
Then Jin Mu continued, "By the way, I also got another piece of news from Han Jii."
"What news?"
"About Ling Kong’s identity."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan was not overly curious, but he decided to give it a listen.
Jin Mu spoke seriously, "Let tell you this, the Tribe’s surna is Ling!"
Lin Yuan pretty much understood, "High-level connections?"
"It’s probably at the very top. Ling Kong is being grood by the Tribe as a future successor. He has a younger brother, but his brother is less proficient compared to him. So unless sothing unexpected happens, Ling Kong will be the decision maker within the Tribe."
At this point, Jin Mu’s expression turned solemn.
This opponent was far more formidable than he had imagined!
Under normal circumstances, that high level of loss Ling Kong caused the Tribe would likely result in him being kicked out.
But he’s the successor of the Tribe...
This changes things completely.
The punishnt that would end up on Ling Kong is likely equivalent to a slap on the wrist.
After serving this punishnt, Ling Kong can continue as before, and even continue to oppose them!
As for burying the hatchet?
Ever since Lin Yuan moved his three pen nas to the blog, it’s been hard for the two sides to reconcile.
Because the blog and the Tribe have always been arch-enemies.
Most importantly!
The blog had given up one percent of its shares to woo Lin Yuan!
Keep in mind, the scale of the blog is terrifying, one percent of shares is much more than what people initially think!
Now, Lin Yuan has been completely tagged to the blog!
In so ways, could the blog be considered as Lin Yuan’s own enterprise?
He had beco one of the directors!
So this was no longer a personal vendetta, but a struggle between two internet forces, there’s no room for separating business from personal matters.
Chances are that Ling Kong will always pose as an adversary to Lin Yuan far into the future.
Lin Yuan nodded.
He did not perceive Ling Kong as a threat.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Ling Kong, rather, he just felt that as long as he handled his own matters well, it would be fine.
Of Course.
Lin Yuan is not one to stir up trouble, but he’s also not afraid of it, otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to break with the Tribe.
...
The news of the new comic website being prepared couldn’t be kept secret from the industry insiders, and Starlight and the blog did not plan to.
The new site lacked the most in publicity!
And now is the perfect ti to raise awareness!
So.
A week later, Starlight and the blog jointly announced the news about the new comic website, "the Alliance"!
At the sa ti!
The nas of two top-level cartoonists who were confird to join the "Alliance" were also publicly announced!
Suddenly!
The netizens were shocked!
Establishing a new comic website?
A netizen mumbled, "Why does it seem to that Xian Yu and Chu Kuang built a comic website specifically for Shadow?"
It’s not just similar!
It’s blatant!
This is simply too harsh!
Look at whom Shadow is leaning on!
These two guys are totally holding their ground!
"With the backing of Starlight, this big move is Xian Yu’s masterpiece!"
"I’ve always felt that Xian Yu and Chu Kuang were closer, but it seems all three of them have a strong bond! Xian Yu’s involvent in setting up this manga website for Shadow speaks volus about his financial strength!"
"No, no, no. It’s Starlight going all out for Xian Yu!
"The na of the manga site is rather aningful. Could the union referred to be between Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow?"
The thing is, neither Xian Yu nor Chu Kuang knows how to draw manga!
Soone wondered, "Does it refer to the union of Shadow, Yeshenchen, and Teacher Tiann?"
"That’s a small alliance if it’s just the three of them."
"But it’s not bad, these three top-tier manga artists, forr tribal heads, are sure to draw in so attention!"
"If Shadow were to fight solo, he would be in real trouble!"
"Although they still can’t compete with Tribe Comics, having three top-tier manga artists join forces at least gives them a foothold!"
"That’s right. Tiann and Yeshenchen excel at King’s Path Comics. Shadow doesn’t do King’s Path, but a site can’t do without King’s Path Comics. Otherwise, it would be too niche!"
"..."
If it’s just Shadow, then the website, even when established, wouldn’t an much!
It’s far from being a match for Tribe Comics!
But if there are two big King’s Path Comics artists joining the ’Union’, although the website might still not compete with Tribe Comics, at least it could attract so users.

At least, it could make so waves.
What’s uncertain is, what’s Shadow’s new manga?
So guessed Shadow would go for a King’s Path Manga like ’Death Note’ once again.
After all, what Shadow needs most now is popularity!
And among all his works, ’Death Note’ is the most popular!
Only a classic evil-pathway manga like ’Death Note’ could compete with King’s Path Manga in popularity!
"I already have a premonition. This move by Shadow is going to be explosive!"
Shadow has recently been loaded with lots of topics and attention, being caught up in nurous public opinions!
Under such trendous pressure, Shadow is bound to counterattack!
Even if ’The Kindaichi Case Files’ perford averagely, no one dared to underestimate Shadow’s capabilities!
Not only fans and netizens thought so!
Even the manga artists from Tribe thought the sa!
They are also discussing Shadow’s new manga the here.
They are in Tribe.
Shadow is in Union.
In the future, each working for their own party, how could they not pay attention to Shadow’s affairs?
Bringing the topic back.
Even if they are not competitors, the people in the sa industry are certainly keenly interested in Shadow!
Then soone guessed:
"Perhaps Shadow’s next piece wouldn’t necessarily be about the evil way the. Wasn’t ’Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma’ also considered a disguised King’s Path the?"
This is one possibility.
Amidst various conjectures, suddenly soone teased:
"It definitely won’t be a detective genre."
Chuckles.
The other manga artists also laughed.
Let alone if Shadow is a stubborn person.
Even if Shadow is stubborn, with all the eyes on him lately, he can’t ignore the downside of the niche genre!
He needs this new website to prove himself!
Otherwise, how could he live up to the support of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang?
But how can choosing the detective genre again prove Shadow’s worth?
Shadow has already proved with ’The Kindaichi Case Files’:
Even a manga artist as fierce as him can’t popularize this genre.
He can’t possibly stumble over the sa rock twice, can he?
Speaking of which.
Tribe inadvertently did Shadow a big favor!
By banning ’The Kindaichi Case Files’, they saved Shadow from taking the bla for unfinished story arcs.
Being blad for leaving stories unfinished can seriously harm one’s reputation!
But if it’s banned, Shadow doesn’t have to bear that burden.
The fans of Kindaichi wouldn’t place the bla on Shadow.
This way.
Shadow can entirely justify starting a new project, choosing a genre that he’s most confident in!
With this in mind.
Almost everyone is waiting for news about Shadow’s new manga!
However.
Just as everyone was eagerly looking forward.
A post from Shadow left everyone in shock!
Netizens fell into a collective daze:
"The new manga is still a detective one."
Shadow is undoubtedly the most stubborn person on earth!
Such stubbornness...
Even after hitting a wall, he’s refusing to turn back!
You’re clearly at odds with the detective genre, aren’t you!!!
