2090: C2090 A Dead End

C2090 A Dead End

2The Council of Elders evaluated each city every year. The three of them wouldn't be able to wait long.

Jin Qian Duan couldn't wait to reveal his thoughts.

"No matter what method I use, I have to finish this quickly."

"We've already taken measures to suppress the economy of Minglan City. If Lord President helps us in the dark and cuts off the route of transport, it'll only make things worse for them."

"The security patrol guards are all unfamiliar faces in the martial arts world. It shouldn't be a problem to get them to attack the transportation vehicles on the roads near Minglan City."

In order to purchase all kinds of industrial raw materials at a high price, they had already figured out the details of the suppliers in the area of Minglan City.

Regardless of whether these people would change sides and return to Mu Chen's side, they would still suffer a blow.

Because the three city lords could not always maintain a price of 5% above the market price.

Yan Shouxin revealed a meaningful smile.

"This kind of lawless speech seems to not belong to you."

"We don't treat you as an outsider. As long as we can suppress Minglan City, we will get the Guild Alliance no matter how great the benefits are."

"It's settled then."

The three lords left in a hurry after they finished their conversation.

A verbal agreement between the big figures was more effective than a business contract.

Even if they didn't have these requests, the Guild Alliance would still have to take measures to deal with Mu Chen.

The other party had just become the City Lord, so he could not be considered to be deeply-rooted.

If Minglan City could be ranked at the bottom, Mu Chen would also walk the same path of elimination.

When he did not have the power in his hands, he could no longer be considered an official.

Killing or cutting would not cause any serious consequences.

Zi Ning took the initiative to volunteer.

"I will send a few reliable disciples, along with the unfamiliar faces of the guards, to set up an ambush around Minglan City."

"They will attack the transport vehicles and guarantee that no materials will be transported there."

"Even if Mu Chen has great abilities, it is impossible for him to rely on a few Demonic Beasts to satisfy the raw material consumption of the entire city."

As the conspiracy began to take action.

The traffic outside Minglan City immediately became unstable, becoming a true road of death.

The convoy carrying ores, crystal stones, and other construction materials was frequently attacked by unfamiliar enemies.

However, they knew what they were doing. They were only plundering the goods and destroying the means of transportation. There wasn't any serious situation where they wanted to kill people.

The financial loss was not a very serious matter for the big business families, and they could not use it as an excuse to seek help from the officials.

They could only increase the number of warriors following them.

In the evening.

There was another explosion. The sound was heard.

The heavy truck was blown up and fell down into the ravine beside the road.

The goods were naturally destroyed.

The escorts were also covered with blood, but fortunately, they didn't suffer fatal injuries.

The men in black finished the fight quickly.

After using a long-range attack method, they hid in the forest, not giving the enemy any chance to get in touch with them.

"These damn thieves have started to do evil again."

"What method do we have to kill them all?"

"Captain, don't get too excited. Let's take a look at everyone's injuries."

The captain kept sighing.

As the saying goes, 'When the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer.'

It was supposed to be a fight between the noble families and the martial arts sects, which made them, the workers, the punching bags.

"The eighteen million purple gold coins worth of goods is gone again."

"The master is going to be furious. He is going to kill us. We are going to have a hard time."

"If it were someone else, wouldn't it end up the same way?"

"There's no way to defend against the lightning fast long-range attack at all. Besides, the enemy doesn't intend to come over and fight. The clues are almost there."

The team members staggered to their feet.

However, they didn't appear to be particularly depressed.

The area had long since become chaotic. It wasn't as if they were the only team that had suffered losses.

They would leave the troublesome matters for the family head to think about.

The healing medicinal pills he brought with him would be able to stabilize the situation before them, but the losses suffered by the team could only be borne by the main clan.

There was still a distance of five hundred kilometers before their eyes before they could arrive at Minglan City.

Zhang Guangxian and Zhu Yunhe received the grievous news at the first possible moment.

"The business in Minglan City can't be done. It's a very serious matter."

"The loss of the goods and the penalty of breach of contract are not small."

"Is there any way to talk to these people? Even if they have to pay some protection fees."

"They are too nave. These people don't intend to reveal their identity at all."

Even if they couldn't see the enemy, they could guess the identity of the murderer.

There were only two possibilities.

Perhaps Mu Chen was very dissatisfied with their business cooperation with the other three main cities, so he used this method to warn them.

Perhaps the three city lords did not want any raw materials to be delivered to Minglan City, so they arranged for people to attack the convoy.

At the beginning.

Zhang Guangxian and Zhu Yunhe were still very satisfied with the price that was five percent higher than the market price.

However, this wasn't a long-term business. There would always be a time when the construction of the new prison was completed. The main market was still in Minglan City and its surrounding area.

"Let's go and find the city lord to think of a way."

"Do you think Mu Chen will help the two traitors?"

"Don't think so seriously of the matter. We are just businessmen chasing after profit."

"The prices offered by the other main cities are slightly higher. There's no reason to refuse them."

He comforted himself and adjusted his mood.

The two family heads prepared generous gifts before they braced themselves and headed towards Mu Chen's office.

Because the surrounding main cities had joined hands to isolate him, Mu Chen's mood was not particularly good.

When the two Patriarchs carefully arrived at the office, Mu Chen did not even serve them a cup of tea. He just let them sit on the cold stool and talk.

"Why do you have the time to come to my place today?"

"I should be busy earning a lot of money."

"Please forgive us for being short-sighted, City Lord."

"Minglan City is an indispensable market for the development of the family. We do not plan to give up on it, but the demand for other customers was too high."

"If you want to come back, come back. You don't need to negotiate with me about business."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your magnanimity. It's just that we have encountered a little trouble."

Their complaints were not news to Mu Chen. The unrest in the surrounding area of Minglan City had already become his problem.

Since the enemy was very cunning, he could only speculate from the intelligence.

The arranged investigators had already entered Andong City, Zhiyuan City, and Fanhua City.

It was enough to make sure that the official team had not been mobilized, and the private armed forces of the various families were still intact.

This meant that the attacker was someone else.
