<h4>Chapter 1889: Chapter 1990: Getting Ready for the Deal</h4>


    Xiao Xuan initially didn’t n to pay attention to Jieke, but couldn’t help but give in to his persistent pestering and noted how thick-skinned the kid was.


    "Alright, first run ap around the city, then find me at the training site once you’re done." Xiao Xuan finally relented.


    "Okay, that’s settled then." Jieke said happily, then turned and began to run.


    After running just a few meters, he turned back incredulously: "Did you just say run ap around the city?"


    "Yes, run now." Xiao Xuan reiterated.


    With a look of difficulty on his face, Jieke nheless started running.


    Xiao Xuan merely chuckled without saying much and continued standing there, ensuring Long Wu’s safety here.


    About half an hourter, Long Wu and Xi’er emerged with bright smiles.


    Chatting amiably like close friends.


    "Alright, no need to see me off, thanks for your advice." Long Wu said sincerely.


    "No need to thank me, it’s my duty for the city’s future; I’d do anything you ask." Xi’er admitted.


    They exchanged pleasantries a while longer, then Long Wu turned and left.


    Following behind, Xiao Xuan was speechless; it was hard to imagine how two women previously at odds became so friendly.


    Xiao Xuan was not the curious type; since Long Wu didn’t borate, he didn’t ask much.


    "Alright, you carry on with your matters, I need some quiet to write a few things." Long Wu said, then returned to his dwelling.


    Xiao Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded and headed toward the training site.


    Almost everyone in this city knew Long Wu by now and posed no threat to him.


    Upon returning to the base, everyone was earnestly training there.


    "Gather around." Xiao Xuan called out once.


    Previously, Xiao Xuan seldom spoke in front of the crowd; now suddenly being their coach was a bit of an adjustment.


    "There’s an event tomorrow night; I need ten people to go with me." Xiao Xuan stated.


    After he spoke, everyone mored, hoping to go with him.


    These people previously struggled with hunger; it was Xiang Yu and his team who brought them a life of stability and gave them hope.


    Now there was finally action, they all wanted to contribute their own strength.


    "I haven’t finished; the mission carries certain dangers; you might note back." Xiao Xuan said indifferently.


    He had experienced too much life and death to be fazed by such things.


    After Xiao Xuan spoke, volunteers became even more enthusiastic.


    One person stepped forward saying, "Captain, let me go; I’m not afraid of dying. Previously, although alive, it was no different from being dead. Constantly fearing for food every day. It’s the leader who gave us dignity as humans; even if asked to die now, I wouldn’t blink."


    "Exactly, we’re not afraid to die."


    The people shouted excitedly.


    Xiao Xuan was pleased; if trained properly, theirbat power could be formidable.


    "Since you say so, I’ll pick the people. Those not selected, continue training here." Xiao Xuan straightforwardly stated.


    He selected ten people who had been performing outstandingly.


    Others wanted to participate too but didn’t insist, and continued their respective training.


    They trained diligently, aspiring to embody the image of Soldier King and serve the leader.


    Meanwhile, Xiang Yu called Su Yongzhen asking for specifics about Mr. Z.


    After all, the deal was tomorrow, and there were many variables involved.


    "Brother Yu, I’ve dealt with Z several times; he seems reliable, and they specialize in arms trading; dealing with them should be no problem." Su Yongzhen replied.


    "Do you have any readily avable ones, I’d like to borrow them; return them once this matter is resolved." Xiang Yu asked.


    "No need to ask, just send someone over now to pick them up; I’ll have them ready." Su Yongzhen said.


    "Alright, I’ll send Tie Zhuzi over now." Xiang Yu decided.


    They discussed a few other matters before hanging up.


    Tie Zhuzi stood beside Xiang Yu, hearing everything, and was excited to hear about fetching weapons from Su Yongzhen.


    "Brother Yu, I’ll head out now." Tie Zhuzi said with a delighted grin.


    Xiang Yu nodded: "Be very careful; if anything unexpected happens, call me first."


    "Rest assured Brother Yu, I’ll make sure to bring the weapons back." Tie Zhuziughed heartily, then left.


    Xiang Yu sat alone silently in a corner reflecting on the past and uing matters.


    Tie Zhuzi got a car, one left behind by Red Inferno, and drove straight towards Su Yongzhen’s base.


    Upon arrival, Su Yongzhen had dispatched someone to wait for him.


    "Did youe alone?" Su Yongzhen came out to greet Tie Zhuzi.


    "Of course, where are the weapons? Hurry up." Tie Zhuzi was eager.


    "I’ve sent someone for them; don’t worry." Su Yongzhen replied.


    He pulled Tie Zhuzi into the room, a curious look on his face: "Tell me about Brother Yu’s situation over there."


    Though Su Yongzhen knew Xiang Yu was capable, he couldn’t fathom how Xiang Yu managed to control the slumspletely in such a short time.


    He had investigated and found that the residents strongly supported Xiang Yu; anyone speaking against him would surely face collective opposition.


    That’s what puzzled Su Yongzhen; could Xiang Yu use Illusion Technique?


    "You don’t get it, let me exin it properly." Tie Zhuzi said with a mysterious air.


    He hadn’t boasted in a long while, feeling almost deranged without it. Now, with Su Yongzhen asking, he was eager to share.


    Just as Tie Zhuzi was enthusiastically boasting, the phone rang.


    He intended to hang up directly, being caught up in the excitement, but seeing Xiang Yu’s call, he quickly answered.


    "Brother Yu, what’s up?" Tie Zhuzi asked directly.


    "Stop bragging and hurry back with the stuff." Xiang Yu curtly replied.


    Though Xiang Yu wasn’t present, he knew Tie Zhuzi was certainly boasting there with Su Yongzhen.


    "Brother Yu, no, I’m just nning to return." Tie Zhuzi hurriedly replied.


    "Alright, hurry back." Xiang Yu finished and hung up directly.


    Tie Zhuzi holding his phone said, "See, that’s Brother Yu’s prowess. Though not here, he knows exactly what I’m doing."


    Su Yongzhen helplessly shook his head; he truly admired Xiang Yu’s judgment.


    Meanwhile, weapons were being loaded onto the car; Su Yongzhen knew Xiao Xuan was a sniper, so he ced one on board specifically for him.


    Seeing the loaded weapons, Tie Zhuzi chuckled: "Once we’re established, we’ll return these to you; don’t worry about it."


    Su Yongzhen shook his head helplessly; except for the sniper rifle, almost everything else on the car was already intended for disposal...
