Chapter 704, let her accompany you


    Come here to acquire assets?


    After hearing Shanara say this, I understood what it meant.


    Nowadays, high-quality assets and real estate in Netale are vacant and at low prices, which is also a good opportunity to acquire them.


    Of course, there are also some risks involved.


    If the war starts again and the city is occupied by others, it is very likely that this method of purchase will not be recognized.


    The money spent then will be wasted.


    Now, the association is here.


    In addition to the attack on the investigation team of the headquarters this time, more high-level professionals from the headquarters will come later. If news of the blockade appears again, the chance of large-scale battles is not high.


    "Wouldn''t it be a little bad to do this?" Wu Heng said.


    Shanara''s voice came again, "When the news spreads, all the caravans will go there to look for opportunities, and merchants will pursue profits. Who cares if it''s good or not? Besides, let''s buy it. If the fifth princess has any plans, you can tell us." If the arrangement is bought by someone else, it is not so easy to negotiate. "


    Then, Shannara added, "Everyone else in the investigation team has their own power and supporting chamber of commerce, and they will definitely send the news out."


    That is indeed correct.


    It is better to hold it in your own hands than to be bought by others.


    "Then come over and see what you can buy." Wu Heng also agreed.


    "I will gather funds tonight to avoid being overtaken by other chambers of commerce." Shannara said directly.


    "good."


    A few people chatted for a while, and Wu Heng also listened to the maid and Shanara talk about the situation of Treasure Island.


    Overall, Treasure Island has not changed much.


    The newspaper is still serializing it, and now the third detective story has begun.


    Several best-selling products are also continuing to be sold. The production of pens and watches has gradually increased, and the bicycle factory has also begun production, but the efficiency has not yet improved.


    After chatting for a while, both parties confirmed that the other party was safe.


    And hung up the call.


    …


    Hang up the microphone and arrange for skeletons to guard the radio station.


    Wu Heng picked up the water glass and took a sip, then sat back on the chair. His mind couldn''t help but start thinking about what happened today.


    The original plan was to capture the leader of the White Wings Gang last.


    But he didn''t expect to find the old man pretending to be the Snake Emblem Consortium, which also triggered a battle with the army.


    If he hadn''t killed the city lord himself and the skeleton army entered the city, it''s hard to say what the final outcome would have been.


    Wu Heng, Tapani, and Gianvito will definitely be able to escape, but it''s hard to say for the rest.


    There will definitely be attrition.


    "I thought it was Qilin Dao, but finally came up with the Zunsheng Sect." Wu Heng muttered while holding the tea cup.


    When they were on Treasure Island, Wu Heng and Xila Gui analyzed the affairs of Yeke Kingdom.


    Coupled with the fact that the plan of the Kirin Dao of the Secret Order was discovered at that time, it was speculated that the internal strife in the Yeke Kingdom was largely related to the Kirin Dao.


    We are also looking for corresponding clues in this case in Netale City.


    In the end, when the corpse was interrogated, it was discovered that the people who supported the eldest prince were from a sect.


    "Come on! If you dare to kill our investigation team, you will definitely be labeled as a cult."


    "The eldest prince, I''m afraid he has no chance of being crowned king."


    As long as the association begins to investigate the great prince, whether it is officials who support him, other sects or powerful families.


    I will also hesitate to continue supporting him.


    After all, the royal family was nothing if it found a reason for the association.


    Then, Wu Heng began to think about his subsequent plans.


    The fifth princess will come to manage this place, and Shanara will also come here, which can create opportunities for herself to increase her reputation.


    I want to be tied to the fifth princess as much as possible.


    When the time comes, the five princesses joining the fight for the throne will definitely cause a sensation in the kingdom.


    You can also follow and get a boost in reputation.


    Thinking in his mind, he opened the panel and took a look.


    [Level: Level 19 (347585/355000)]


    [Fame: Level 19 (9582/66000)]


    There is no need to worry about the level of experience.


    The only thing missing is fame.


    "I''m level 19, Granda is level 20, and I have some capital."


    "Seize this opportunity."


    …


    I was thinking in my mind.


    Glenda flew back through the wall from outside and glanced at the study, "Aren''t they both back yet?"


    "No, maybe he went to watch the excitement." Wu Heng closed the panel and asked, "How is the city?" When he returned to the city lord''s palace, Wu Heng released all three ghosts.


    The main thing is to check if there is any danger in the city.


    After all, the 18th-level boxer from the Zun Sheng Cult had escaped. He might be able to give people like him a carbine, and even the investigation team dared to kill him. It wouldn''t be surprising if he came back to sneak attack on two people.


    There is also the disbanded army in the city to see if anyone has gathered to do bad things.


    "I haven''t found any other high-level professionals. There is a bit of chaos in the city, and there are a lot of gang fights. But the association is also stepping up patrols, so there won''t be any big problems." Granda replied.


    Wu Heng nodded and continued, "Shanara will come from Treasure Island tomorrow and plans to acquire some real estate assets here."


    "No wonder she became the president of the Chamber of Commerce. She is very sharp." Glenda praised her, and then said, "Why don''t you pick her up? She came back in half a day."


    It''s about the ghost train.


    "It''s better to come by boat. Appearing suddenly will easily attract the attention of the association''s personnel. What we do next may require a time difference to cover up."


    Glenda nodded thoughtfully, "That''s right. Anyway, there is enough time. She must be the first one to get the news and come here."


    While the two were talking, Xiaoxiao and Beini also flew back.


    "Uncle, it''s okay outside. I didn''t find any high-level people." Xiao Xiao floated on his shoulder and said.


    "Well, that''s good." Wu Heng then asked, "Why are you back so late today?"


    "Sister Beini and I saw the fight, and it was so intense." Xiaoxiao said, waving his fist.


    "Because of what?"


    "It seems to be about arresting people or something, but I don''t quite understand."


    Good guy, just for fun.


    Because I don’t know anything.


    Beni said: "I heard a little bit, and it seems that the people who were beaten were previously part of the forced labor force. Some people were taken away by force. Their families came over before they came back. Several families beat them. It was quite miserable."


    "Oh, that''s it." Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, and then asked, "What is a forced expedition team?"


    "For example, your uncle doesn''t want to go to the battlefield, and then these people come to arrest him, force him to go, and beat him if he doesn''t go."


    "Oh, I understand." Xiaoxiao nodded.


    Forced expedition team, after the death of the city lord, these people will lose their privileged status.


    Now that the battle is over, it''s good to say that those who were captured can come back alive, and they can only curse a few words at most.


    But the family members who have not returned will definitely come to settle accounts with them.


    "Are you still fighting?" Wu Heng asked.


    "No more fighting, we''ll separate after the patrol passes." Penny said.


    "It''s okay." Wu Heng nodded, moved his body, and said, "I''m going back to rest. Today''s battle was a bit exhausting."


    "Give me that skill book."


    "I have a tablet, please charge it for me!"


    "Come on, I''ve watched those two cartoons over and over again." Wu Heng took out everything.


    "Then find me a new one."


    "Wait until you can find it." Wu Heng said, opened the door and went downstairs.


    Go to the first floor.


    Then she saw Philippa sitting on the sofa in the living room, behind her was the fifth princess ''Brittany'' rubbing her shoulders, and the little maid was sitting on her knees and beating her legs.


    "Try harder, you haven''t eaten yet!" Philippa still said.


    Wu Heng walked over and pinched her face, "Bullying people, right?"


    "If I lose, the tavern will be theirs," Philippa said.


    Brittany gritted her teeth and said, "I''m willing to admit defeat. It''s true that Philippa won. We admit it."


    The two had made bets before.


    If the murderer is the city lord, then Brittany loses and becomes Philippa''s maid for a month, and can do whatever she wants.


    If the murderer was not the city lord, the Nautilus Tavern would lose to the fifth princess.


    Although it was finally confirmed that the real murderer was the 18th-level sect guardian, the city lord was indeed involved. To say he was an accomplice was an understatement, and he should be one of the masterminds.


    In the end, Philippa won.


    Seeing that the two parties were willing to fight or suffer, Wu Heng could not say anything, "Don''t go too far."


    Philippa shook her head and said, "Go, you go pour me some water, and Brittany goes to prepare the bath water."


    "Tch~!" Brittany said, turned and went upstairs.


    The little maid also went to pour her water.


    Philippa said, "How about I let Brittany spend the night with you? I have the final say now."


    Brittany stumbled as she went upstairs and almost fell.


    Wu Heng rolled his eyes at her, "Don''t always scare people, just make a joke."


    "That''s not possible. She really wanted me in the tavern. She wanted to be my maid for a month no matter what." Philippa said.
