Chapter 203: Chapter 126: Everyone is Eyeing Hope Village
“I’ve bought so! It’s the sa jerky that Maria and their team were selling.” One of the rcenaries, Bloom, said to their captain, Bwender, his eyes shining.
Maria had just sold a large batch of delicious jerky, and while they bought so, they were also looking for the supplier and had just found it unexpectedly, instantly sparking their interest.
After all, their entire rcenary Team could produce a large amount of Beast at daily, selling it to shops and rchant teams at relatively low prices.
Before, they hadn’t thought much of it, but comparing it to the prices of this jerky, they felt utterly outclassed.
So, if they could master the other’s thods, they would have control over a huge wealth.
Bwender was naturally excited, but as the leader of the team, he thought more deeply.
If they were motivated just by tasting the jerky, Maria’s rcenary Team probably was too, but they hadn’t acted on it, which surely ant these people were not to be trifled with.
Could their plan really succeed?
Seemingly realizing Bwender’s concerns, Bloom said, “The profits from this jerky aren’t just perceived by our team. I just saw several other rcenary Teams, and if one doesn’t work, we could combine efforts with a few others. The market is so vast!”
At these words, Bwender’s gaze flickered.
“And besides, isn’t your sister the Mayor’s lover, Bwender? With the Mayor backing us up, it wouldn’t be much of a problem,” Bloom continued to persuade.
For their team, it was an alignnt of favorable conditions and strong support.
Having the Mayor as their backing, they could definitely lead and secure a major share of the profits.
Eventually, they could sell their goods to territories weaker than Bengala Town, turning these into exclusive local produce, and thereby truly making a na for themselves.
Listening, Bwender began calculating in his mind.
Bengala Town was renowned for producing Silver Equipnt, with the territory heavily dependent on equipnt trade, hence protection for various rchant teams was substantial.
But that was just on the surface. In reality, weaker rchant teams entering Bengala Town were often targeted, and as long as it happened outside the territorial boundaries without leaving any trace, it was unlikely to be discovered.
If he could get the Mayor’s permission, it was akin to erasing the last layer of worry.
At that mont, another rcenary frowned, “I think I’ve heard of Hope Village sowhere; it sounds familiar. Do you guys know anything? It seems to have a complicated origin.”
Hearing this, Bwender shuddered, “I think I have indeed heard about it sowhere.”
The rcenaries at the scene all began to recall.
Suddenly, soone did rember.
“Hope Village, seems to be one of the territories that popped up recently. Among these new territories, it ranks second in strength, even higher than many Level 3 villages.”
This new territory had already beco a hot topic in Bengala Town so ti ago.
To Bloom’s excitent after hearing this, “Especially since it’s a new territory, even if sothing happens, it won’t attract much attention. By the ti they truly enter other territories’ sights, we would have already dominated the market.”
What could they do to them by the ti they are held accountable?
“Don’t forget, they have Beastman Warriors, clearly official personnel of the territory. If their whole team cos to Bengala Town and disappears, do you think others won’t notice, or they themselves won’t care? By then, the situation would be out of our control.”
Dealing with another territory was always tricky.
With the strength ranking above many Level 3 villages, if they receive a title, their Lord would at least be a Viscount, a noble!
If they pursue the matter diplomatically, it would be difficult for them to completely conceal their actions, potentially damaging Bengala Town’s reputation, causing trouble even for the Mayor.
Hearing this, Bwender’s brow furrowed, recognizing the problem.
Bloom then said, reluctantly, “Are you suggesting we give up?”
He thought they were close to achieving a significant feat!
It was at this mont that Bwender suddenly spotted a familiar figure erging from the territory, his eyes brightening, “The Mayor is here.”
He had a feeling that the Mayor was here for Hope Village too.
“I’ll go over and find out more.”
The next mont, Bwender headed towards the Mayor of Bengala Town, and just halfway there, he noticed several rcenary Team Captains also heading towards the Mayor.
“Mayor.” Soon, the voices of several people greeting him resonated one after another.
They exchanged looks, a similar gleam passing through their eyes.
They all knew—they were all eyeing the “good stuff” from Hope Village!
