Soon, the two aides from the territory left the city, hired local workers, and contacted construction companies. Although various high technologies have made city construction quite easy, it still takes several days.
That evening, the two sisters returned ho. "What’s the situation in the city now?"
On their way back, the sisters had concealed their identities and hadn’t walked with Du You; instead, they had secretly learned about Cloud City’s changes. Lin Family’s instigation in the previous incident was sothing Du You would not forget.
He couldn’t trouble the Dark Night rcenary Group for the ti being, but the Lin Family was a different story.
"It’s a bit troubleso. We found that Cloud City went through significant internal changes for a while; the new city lord was initially very assertive. However, in recent tis, it seems that the Lin Family has rapidly risen, clashing heavily with the new city lord."
Du You looked over the information the sisters had gathered. The earlier part was quite normal.
It was rely a change of city lord, after which the new one sought to reclaim control of the city, so his thods were quite firm. The entire city was quickly scrubbed clean, many were investigated for various issues, and consequently lost their positions.
Similarly, a batch of people supportive of the new city lord ca into power. In a short amount of ti, the acting city lord had the city firmly in his grasp. Then, the city lord connected with large organizations from other cities to develop within the city.
Although Cloud City seed no different on the surface, it had actually beco far stronger than before. Not only was the destroyed land cha brigade restored, but it also gained so tier three combat strength.
However, a change occurred recently. Among the suppressed major families, the Lin Family suddenly rose against the tide. It was said that several Professionals with tier three strength suddenly appeared in their family. Nobody knew where these people ca from, but they instantly enabled the Lin Family to contend with the city lord.
The families struggling under the new city lord’s suppression naturally gravitated towards the well-established Lin Family, forming a large alliance among themselves and began a standoff.
"The Lin Family’s rise? What’s the reason, did their family head remarry?" Du You was curious.
"No, not at all. Originally, the Lin Family had selected a new mistress for their family head, and it was almost ti for the wedding. But then sothing happened, and the marriage fell through."
"After that, it was the sudden rise of the Lin Family. No one knows what kind of support they’ve received, but it’s definitely not from any nearby cities. Now, the Lin Family has almost taken over most of the mines around the city."
Du You tapped the table. He didn’t expect the Lin Family’s sudden rise.
Suddenly, Lin Yushi said, "When I ca back, I noticed soone seed to be watching us nearby. The only people who have a grudge against us in this city are the Lin Family, right?"
Du You nodded slightly, "It’s only the Lin Family, but they shouldn’t know about us. According to the situation, last ti Lin Ming believed his brother’s death was related to us, so they instigated trouble against us. The Lin Family..."
Suddenly, Du You narrowed his eyes, "When did the Lin Family start to rise?"
Lin Yucha seed to have thought of sothing too and quickly flipped through the data in her hands. After a while, Lin Yucha said, "It was not long ago, the timing isn’t too extensive. Looking at the ti, it should be around when the Dark Night rcenary Group ca to apologize to us."
Du You sneered, "Very well, it must be this. The Dark Night rcenary Group probably blad us for Lin Ming’s death, and also connected several other deaths to us. Otherwise, the Lin Family wouldn’t have taken this approach. They haven’t made any overt moves now; they must know our strength."
The Lin Family had no more power in the Capital, so how could they be aware of his strength? Soone must have inford them.
Linking various matters together, Du You was eighty percent sure that the Dark Night rcenary Group was behind this.
"Damn Dark Night rcenary Group, Master, why don’t we find an opportunity to kill them?" Lin Yushi said.
Lin Yucha knocked her sister’s head with annoyance. That girl was beginning not to think things through again. "We are far from being a match for the Dark Night rcenary Group, so we can’t act against them. If we take the initiative, that would be our fault. Then, if the Dark Night rcenary Group moves against us, the academy can’t say anything."
Du You also spoke up, "The Dark Night rcenary Group fears the academy’s power, not ours. That’s why they indirectly co after . If I take the initiative, wouldn’t that be what they want?"
"But what’s the point of doing this for them?" Lin Yushi still didn’t understand.
Du You pondered for a mont, "I can’t figure it out either, but the likely benefit is probably only one, reputation. On one hand, we indeed caused them to lose face last ti, and soone might want to restore that. On the other hand, perhaps there’s so benefit for them after causing the academy to lose face, the specifics of which I am not clear."
Du You wasn’t very clear about the ins and outs and could only guess, uncertain of the accuracy.
"So what should we do now?" Lin Yushi pouted.
"Heh, if the Dark Night rcenary Group doesn’t step forward and uses a spokesperson, we can too. Besides, if it cos down to it, we can justify taking action against the Lin Family since they are our enemy."
Du You smiled, having more initiative than the other party. He could entirely step into the fray himself. However, Du You didn’t want to be too proactive as it could be easy for the other side to find fault with him; finding a spokesperson would suffice.
"With the Lin Family’s rise, their most direct enemy is now the new city lord, so we should help on the city lord’s side, right, Master? What do you plan to do specifically?" Lin Yucha was much clearer in considering the issue than her sister.
"Sending troops won’t do. Our manufactured territorial soldiers couldn’t possibly travel so far to Cloud City. But we can help the city lord by training his subordinates, like cultivating a batch of Tian Gang Martial Artists for him."
This was the utmost purpose of the territory, to cultivate a group of special Professionals. Tian Gang Martial Artists had such explosive power that without any special ability, it was difficult to overco a Tian Gang Martial Artist of the sa tier. That was the most distinctive profession of his territory. Recently, his territory had helped the academy cultivate a batch, so Du You was quite familiar with it.
As long as there’s a batch of tier three Tian Gang Martial Artists on the city lord’s side, then the Lin Family would be in trouble. He just needed to give a little push from the sidelines.
