C2089 Colluding with Each Other
"Pay attention to the profiteering merchants, and don't allow anyone to smuggle raw materials."
"Inform Nasco if you find anything suspicious. No one is allowed to steal from me."
"Yes, sir."
The crisis was temporarily resolved.
However, Mu Chen was very dissatisfied with the methods of the three main cities.
East Emperor Shuo's efficiency was very high, and he had already found out the destination of the transportation of the ore.
After taking a big detour, they returned to the suburbs of the Holy Region.
"Reporting to the Lord City Lord, the new prison built by the Council of Elders has already been secretly opened."
"These raw materials will all be transported to the construction site and smelted on the spot to produce the final product."
"The exact location is in the forest four hundred kilometers north of the Sacred Zone."
Mu Chen was extremely furious.
There were clearly mines that were being mined around the vicinity, but these guys chose to cut off the suppliers of Minglan City.
In the end, they even took a roundabout route to send the stone back. The longer the distance of transportation, the less profit they would earn.
This was truly sacrificing 800 for the sake of killing a thousand enemies.
"According to the official data..."
"Andong City, Zhiyuan City, and Fanhua City are ranked quite low. They just want to find a soft persimmon to push around so that they won't be eliminated."
"Hahaha, they actually dared to choose my place as a target. They're really blind."
After being rebuilt after the disaster, they had lost a lot of their strength.
Mu Chen felt that the strength of the Flower Sea City was a little weaker.
"Why didn't we get any news about it in advance? Is such a big construction project going to be decided by the Council of Elders?"
"In order to increase efficiency, the Council of Elders only informed a few powerful large construction companies in the industry."
"Ask them to provide a plan to compete for the price."
"The city lord is not involved in this industry. Naturally, he won't receive any official news."
"Is there any way to interfere with the decisions made by the Elders Guild?"
"Both sides must have signed the relevant contract, and the City Master can't just transfer the construction team back from Heavenly Abyss City, right?"
The construction project launched by the Treasure Hunter Organization was also very important, and one of them was Mu Chen's large investment.
Being swayed by emotions would not bring about a good effect.
Donghuang Shuo could only persuade him to endure it for the time being. He would settle this debt in the future.
This crisis had instead become an opportunity for Minglan City.
When the emissaries sent over by the rich and powerful families saw that the merchants were able to buy important items from the government and could even buy them on credit, this was an incredible discount.
They immediately decided to invest in a factory or open a branch company.
Andong City's Mayor Chen Jing, Zhiyuan City's Mayor Jie Ao, and Fanhua City's Mayor Jin Qian Duan were sitting in an unassuming teahouse in the Sacred Zone, sulking.
Why didn't the perfect plan work?
Mu Chen's demonic beast always gave people the feeling of omnipotence, and it was probably impossible for them to create pressure from the supply.
Chen Jing said with his head down in dejection.
"The demand for the construction of the prison is too great. It won't do us any good if we continue to waste our time. We should immediately choose the nearby suppliers to purchase raw materials."
"How should we deal with the matter of Minglan City?"
"Let's pretend nothing happened. In any case, we don't put the conflict on the table."
The three of them had to bear the cost of transporting the ores from afar.
The commercial contract signed with the Elders Guild did not specify many details.
As long as the prison was built according to the blueprint that had been designed, they would be able to get the payment from the other party.
However, they definitely wouldn't overspend.
Jin Qian Duan still held onto the hope of getting lucky.
"I've never heard that a demonic beast has this kind of ability."
"I think that Mu Chen is just having a weak function. The resources in Minglan City cannot withstand long-term consumption."
The two opinions were diametrically opposite.
The minority would obey the majority, and this was something that needed Geo to express.
"Perse them for a while longer. When Minglan City develops and becomes stronger, there will be even less of a chance to suppress them."
"The price offered by the Elder Council is very generous. This deal will not be a loss."
In order to ensure that the new prison would be built successfully, the three City Lords would temporarily stay in the Sacred Zone and personally supervise the construction.
After spending so much time and effort, they obviously hoped for high returns.
In order to suppress Mu Chen.
They decided to make a trip to the guild alliance.
The three guild leaders had been extremely busy recently, hoping to create a first-rate martial arts organization for the security patrol team.
They personally went to the training ground to teach and teach, taking out all their unique skills to teach.
As long as they were members of the guards, they had the qualifications to train with the three guild leaders.
The headquarters of the security patrol team was built near the city gate. It had a gray square shape with sharp edges, and it looked like a brick.
The training field was built on an empty ground ten kilometers outside the city.
Standing in the building, one could see the scene there.
The guest had arrived.
The VIPs had arrived. Zining, Xie Yi, and Yan Shouxin came out to welcome them personally.1
"It's been a long time since I've met a big shot who's the lord of the city."
"It's our honor to have three of you here at the same time."
"Hahaha, I'm so envious of the President's living conditions. He's rich and powerful, and he can do whatever he wants."
"The days of the City Lord won't be easy. Who knows when he'll be eliminated."
Chen Jing, Jie Ao, and Jin Qian Duan shook their heads and walked into the guest hall.
People with ulterior motives gathered together to discuss a big conspiracy.
The security patrol team had just been established when they encountered a difficult task. The mayor and the Wealthy Class and Prominent Classes jointly petitioned, hoping that they could come forward to search for the traces of the escaped criminal.
This was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
The other party had been locked up in the Senluo Prison for nearly a hundred years, and had already lost contact with the outside world.
If it wasn't for the fact that they had appeared themselves, they wouldn't have been able to find any other clues.
Family, friends, or related assets had completely disappeared the moment they were caught in the prison.
However, the purpose of establishing the security patrol wasn't to uphold justice.
The three elders were secretly suppressing the other businesses that were in the same industry.
This led to the smaller mercenary guilds led by the Wan Mingzhu Family to migrate to Bright Orchid City.
It was easier to take advantage of the cool breeze under a big tree.
With a backer like Mu Chen, he could always ensure the continuation of the family's industry.
These people were all genuine hired martial artists, and the number of people who had migrated to Minglan City was astonishing. It would cause the city's ranking to take a qualitative leap.
The three city lords could not wait to ask.
"What can the president do? Destroy these families immediately."
"You guys really don't know how to speak properly. If we can use force to solve the problem, then there is no need for us to form a guard team to slowly merge with the other side."
The three castellans, Chen Jing, and Jin Qian, started to worry.
Moving wasn't a difficult thing, but merging with a small mercenary guild would take a long time.
Divisions could not provoke public anger.
