After Xiang Yu surveyed the area for a while, he was quite satisfied with this piece of land, and nothing was grown on it—it was all barren as far as the eye could see.
Xiang Yu picked up his phone and called Wang Qian, then bluntly asked, "What about the people from the Fierce Clouds Brigade? Are they easy to talk to?"
Wang Qian thought for a mont and said, "It’s a small force, and they’re fairly close with COM. I don’t know much about them. Did you get into trouble with them?"
"No, I just have my eye on a piece of land here and want to lease it from them," Xiang Yu replied directly.
"Looking to develop agriculture?" Wang Qian was clever and instantly knew what Xiang Yu was thinking.
"Exactly, can’t rely on you guys for everything," Xiang Yu said without hiding anything.
Most of their food was now transported from Wolf Fang, and it could be said that Wolf Fang held their life and death in its hands.
"Don’t trust us?" Wang Qian feigned anger.
"It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just don’t want to leave our fate to others. Besides, you can’t take care of us forever," Xiang Yu said.
With Wang Qian, he had nothing to hide; he said whatever was on his mind.
"I understand how you feel. Want to step in and help you?" Wang Qian asked.
Xiang Yu laughed lightly and said, "No need, I just wanted to check on this brigade. They already misunderstand us, and if I get too close, they’ll definitely think I’m living off soone else."
"Let them say whatever; I’ve got your back," Wang Qian said boldly.
"No, I need to pay attention to my reputation," Xiang Yu replied.
The two chatted casually for a bit before ending the call.
After hanging up, Xiang Yu called Eck and asked him to try contacting the people from the Fierce Clouds Brigade and discuss leasing the land.
After all, the land was lying idle, and if they offer so money, the other party should lease it out.
Eck, along with two people, soon arrived. Hearing Xiang Yu’s plan to lease the land, he was quite puzzled and didn’t understand the purpose of leasing it.
Xiang Yu explained briefly without going into detail.
Eck didn’t understand much and said, "Got it, Brother Yu, I’ll do whatever you ask. I’ll go talk to them now."
"Be careful, don’t get into any conflict with them," Xiang Yu reminded.
"No worries, we’re going to negotiate, not to fight," Eck laughed heartily and then drove off with his crew.
These cars had been modified by them, painted outside with the logo "Sun City".
Eck drove with two people directly into the territory of the Fierce Clouds Brigade, which was much richer than Sun City, as seen from the shops outside.
Just as Eck was about to enter the city, soone ca to stop them.
"I’m looking for your managent to discuss sothing," Eck said, laughing loudly as he got out of the car.
"Where are you from?" The person looked at Eck warily and asked.
"We’re from Sun City, we’re neighbors," Eck replied warmly.
"Sun City? Never heard of it," the person frowned.
At this point, many people ca over, holding guns and watching Eck.
Sun City wasn’t well-known yet, only the higher-ups knew it was previously a slum.
"Sun City, our newly established city, it was the slum before," Eck said without hesitation.
On hearing "slum," those people paused for a mont and then burst into laughter.
"Slum" was deeply ingrained in people’s minds; to them, the people from the slum were all humble, lowly.
"You have cars in the slum? Wow, you must be the richest ones in the slum."
"Lowly slum dwellers, haha, they’re brave enough to co out?"
A group of people laughed mockingly, making Eck grit his teeth. He had co to discuss leasing of the land, not to be humiliated.
"Don’t look down on people, everyone is equal; no one is nobler than another," Eck declared with conviction.
"Yes, no one is nobler, but you slum dwellers are lowly, lowly," they laughed loudly.
The two people with Eck were also furious and directly pulled out their guns.
These two were Eck’s guards, and now each mber of their self-defense team was equipped with a gun and bullets.
Seeing them draw guns, the people quickly encircled the three, surprised that those from the slum had guns.
"Put down the guns, or we won’t be polite," they shouted.
Eck turned to his two people and said, "Put down the guns."
The two hurriedly put away their guns upon hearing the leader’s command, but just as they did, the surrounding people rushed in and captured the three.
"Boss, I think we should just execute these three lowly ones; slum trash daring to act wild," one person suggested.
The surrounding people nodded in agreent, looking down on the slum dwellers; killing them was nothing.
The boss thought more carefully and said, "Since they have guns, it shows their status is not simple in the slum. Better report this."
Everyone nodded at this.
They quickly reported the situation to the higher-ups. Upon hearing there were three from the slum causing trouble, the boss waved dismissively and said, "Just execute them, why bother with such a small matter."
"Each of them has a gun, and they drove a pretty good car," the boss reminded.
The person listening was puzzled, "You’re saying they drove from the slum with guns?"
The boss nodded to confirm.
"What did they say when they ca?" the person asked.
"They just said they wanted to see our higher managent, didn’t specify anything," the boss replied.
"Ask them what they want, then investigate their background. If they’re just small-ti troublemakers, execute them. If they have so background, we’ll consider reporting it," the person said cautiously.
The boss nodded and left, needing to quickly investigate Eck’s situation.
Eck was tied up, but they didn’t torture him.
The boss found Eck and first lashed him twice with a leather whip.
"Speak, what exactly did you co here for?" the boss asked arrogantly.
To him, since they ca from the slum, it didn’t matter if they had connections.
Eck, after being whipped twice, just smiled and said, "I want to see your leader. I’ll speak once I et them."
Feeling disrespected, the boss started whipping harder.
"Boy, you’re quite arrogant, today I’ll teach you a lesson," the boss said as he whipped Eck.
Eck gritted his teeth without a sound, even as blood marks appeared on his body... Hope everyone supports authentic reading, originally released on the mobile app Ball Ball Reading. Thank you, friends...
