Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why are there so many people?”
Eagle was a bit surprised as they had only been gone for a few days. Upon their return, they found Zhao Yu’s camp had grown significantly, now hosting several hundred people.
“Could it be that Zhao Yu conquered several villages during this ti?”
“It’s very likely…”
ng Xian and others had serious expressions as they hurriedly returned to the camp. After so inquiries, they found that no one knew where these people ca from.
The only useful information was that in recent days, there had been a lot of traffic in and out of the power plant, numbering in the hundreds.
“We allied with Zhao Yu originally because the difference in our strengths was not significant…”
“Just with these new people, they already outnumber us several tis over. If this cooperation continues…”
People were worried, fearing that if the cooperation continued, they might be swallowed up by Zhao Yu.
“Send soone to ask about the condition of these newcors and where they ca from…”
“I’ll go to the power plant now to visit Zhao Yu and probe his intentions…” ng Xian said with anxious and leave imdiately.
Eagle quickly stopped her.
“Sister ng, going there empty-handed will make our intentions too obvious. Why not take the gasoline we’ve got this ti and trade it?”
“That’s a good idea!”
Especially since their recent outing had been fruitful.
Soon, a group of them drove up to a gate inside the power plant.
After explaining their purpose, a soldier went to report.
A short while later, Zhao Yu ca out with so of his soldiers as his body guards.
After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.
“How much gasoline do you have?”
ng Xian had soone bring down a few barrels of gasoline. “It’s all here…”
“Good!”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly. He had already obtained a significant amount of gasoline from Wild Wolf Town, so ng Xian’s contribution hardly made an impact.
“How about we trade it for weapons and ammunition at the previous rate?”
“That works…”
ng Xian agreed, noticing that Zhao Yu didn’t seem as eager for gasoline anymore.
“Commander Zhao, I noticed that there seem to be a lot more people in your camp since we’ve returned…”
“Um!”
Zhao Yu didn’t intend to hide it. A thousand people would always attract attention.
He straightforwardly said, “I’ve taken over Wild Wolf Town. These people are all relocated from there…”
” What?!”
ng Xian’s jaw dropped in shock.
The others accompanying her were even more discomposed as if they had been struck by lightning.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, “I hadn’t planned to move against Wild Wolf Town, but the Han family was pressing too hard, making it unbearable…”
ng Xian and the others didn’t doubt the truth of Zhao Yu’s words; such matters could be easily verified with a little inquiry.
What puzzled her was how Zhao Yu had the power to take down Wild Wolf Town.
Another question lingered: Was Zhao Yu really a part of the Re Zhao Coorperation?
If not, why did he keep getting new soldiers? If he was, then it seed the people in Black Rock City were not very well-inford.
ng Xian and her companions returned to ng House Village in a daze with the traded weapons.
It wasn’t until soone asked what they had learned about at the power plant that they snapped back to reality.
“Wild Wolf Town is gone…”
“Wait a minute…”
ng Xian suddenly thought of sothing and hurried back to the greet Zhao Yu.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu was still there and t her again.
“Commander Zhao, now that Wild Wolf Town has been taken by you, we need to find a way to appease the Han family’s anger…” ng Xian was uncomfortable with the fact that the outside world thought ng House Village was in league with Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu’s intention to attack Wild Wolf Town ant that ng House Village was also in the Han family’s sights.
In a way, they were in the sa boat as Zhao Yu.
“What do you suggest?”
Zhao Yu wouldn’t compromise with the Han family, but if he could buy so ti to continue developing into bigger force, that would be ideal.
“Wild Wolf Town might ans little to the Han family; their real interest lies in the firearms parts production line…”
“As long as that line is maintained and trading with the Han family continues, everything else should be fine…”
Zhao Yu quickly grasping the key point.
The Han family had split the production line into the wilderness to save costs, allowing people like Li Yang to exploit the workers under high-pressure rule.
If he took over Li Yang’s role, it would an the even if Han family want to kill him, but their core interests would need soone to operate.
Serving the Han family, sothing many in the wilderness would beg for, was pointless in Zhao Yu’s eyes.
Zhao Yu said gravely, “So, your solution is for to be the Han family’s dog?”
ng Xian had thought Zhao Yu would praise her idea, not be so opposed.
“It’s not about being a dog, just maintaining the cooperation channels that Li Yang and others had with the Han family…”
“Heh, isn’t that the sa as being a servant?”
Zhao Yu laughed.
He had seen checked the Wild Wolf Town’s accounts. No matter how much Li Yang and others exploited the workers, the majority of the profits were sent to the Han family in Black Rock City.
Only a small part was left for Li Yang.
Yet, even so, Wild Wolf Town had beca the strongest small town within dozens of kiloters.
There were many more towns like Li Yang’s in the wilderness, indicating that the Han family’s wealth and power were greater than imagined.
ng Xian fell silent.
She couldn’t understand why soone would pass up the chance to align with the Han family.
Moreover, this alignnt didn’t an servitude or servility.
They had enough autonomy, as the Han family rarely visited the wilderness.
Was this man’s pride so high?
The only explanation ng Xian could think of was that Zhao Yu’s pride prevented him from backing down.
“But if so, the Han family might co knocking soon…”
She said anxiously.
If Zhao Yu wouldn’t compromise, then ng House Village had no choice but to follow him.
Otherwise, with the Han family’s power, they could easily destroy ng House Village without Zhao Yu’s support.
Zhao Yu stroked his prominent beard, pondering for a mont.
He realized ng Xian’s suggestion wasn’t entirely useless.
He could wait for the Han family to learn of Wild Wolf Town’s change and send investigators, then express his willingness to maintain the old trading routes.
This way, he could buy more ti.
Given enough ti, the Han family, no matter how powerful, wouldn’t be difficult to defeat.
“Um!”
“Hold on! Your point do make sense after reconsideration. Let’s do this: when the Han family discovers the situation in Wild Wolf Town and sends people to investigate, you’ll negotiate with them, okay?”
ng Xian was overjoyed, not expecting such a turn of events. It seed Zhao Yu was also worried about the Han family’s retaliation.
She quickly agreed, promising to negotiate well with the Han family’s representatives and try to reach a favorable agreent..
