<h4>Chapter 1907: Chapter 2008: Grabbing Both Economic and Military Power</h4>


    The two joked around a bit, then Xiang Yu said, "It seems the people from COM have some ns. Be careful."


    Wang Qian smiled, "Don’t worry, I know exactly what they’re up to. Recently, they’ve been secretly scheming with the Forest Wolves. The Forest Wolves have no influence here, so they’re trying to achieve it through COM."


    "The Forest Wolves also want to get involved?" Xiang Yu said with some surprise.


    Now Xiang Yu was focusing solely on developing Sun City, and the outside news was somewhat blocked to him.


    "That’s also the reason I organized this meeting. Once we’ve established our territory, it won’t be so easy for the Forest Wolves to get involved." Wang Qian said confidently.


    "I see, you’re quite capable." Xiang Yu said.


    "There’s still some gap between us. I’m considering whether to develop the economy in my own territory." Wang Qian said thoughtfully.


    "Then give it a try." Xiang Yu smiled.


    The two made a few more jokes and then hung up, Xiang Yu knowing Wang Qian was joking.


    Wolf Fang is different from Xiang Yu and the others; Xiang Yu has his own economic influence, his ownpany, so developing the city isn’t so difficult for him.


    But Wolf Fang only has military power and isn’t as strong economically as Xiang Yu and the others. In other words, among all these groups, Xiang Yu and his team are the wealthiest.


    After hanging up, Xiang Yuy down to rest directly.


    Early the next morning, as soon as Xiang Yu got up and was preparing to exercise, the phone rang. It was Mr. Z, who sells arms.


    "Mr. X, how have you beentely?" Mr. Z said enthusiastically.


    "Not bad, is there something you need?" Xiang Yu said straightforwardly.


    "Not really, I heard you’ve divided the territory and just wanted to ask if you need weapons. We can provide them for you." Mr. Z said warmly.


    "For free?" Xiang Yu asked.


    Mr. Z awkwardlyughed and said, "Mr. X, you’re joking. But we can offer a discount."


    "Oh, so you’re just here to sell something." Xiang Yu said calmly.


    After yesterday’s meeting, all the surrounding big and small powers knew that the slum was connected with Wolf Fang. Many were trying to befriend Xiang Yu.


    Mr. Z was no different. Previously, he looked down on the slum, but didn’t expect it to cling tightly to Wolf Fang’s support.


    "Mr. X is really humorous." Mr. Z chuckled.


    "I don’t need anything for now, but I’ll contact you the moment I do." Xiang Yu said earnestly.


    "Alright, if Mr. X needs anything, just give me a call, and I’ll make sure to deliver it to you." Mr. Z said enthusiastically.


    Xiang Yu nodded and hung up. It had to be said, mingling with Wolf Fang did have its benefits.


    After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu was nning to go exercise when it rang again. It was Su Yongzhen.


    "Brother Yu, congrattions on finally taking Sun City openly." Su Yongzhen said excitedly.


    "It’s nothing, nobody wanted it anyway." Xiang Yu said humbly.


    Su Yongzhen chuckled, "It’s different now. Before, you could say it was an upation, now you can say the city is yours."


    After some polite exchanges, Xiang Yu asked, "How have things beentely? Has Su Zhe been troubling you?"


    Su Yongzhen said excitedly, "They failed to assassinate the Wolf King. Now Wolf Fang has issued a hunt directive, and Su Zhe doesn’t dare to show his face."


    "Oh, are you guys also afraid of being hunted?" Xiang Yu teased.


    "Even though we’re an assassin organization, Wolf Fang isn’t simple. They have their own Dark Department, though not as famous as us, they’re not to be underestimated." Su Yongzhen said, a bit excited.


    Now Su Zhe no longer had the opportunity to rise, giving Su Yongzhen more chances to prove himself.


    Many tasks within the organization were handled by him. Xiang Yu had also reminded him to unite with the veterans in the organization, causing many to gradually align with Su Yongzhen.


    If things continued this way, it was certain that Su Yongzhen would take over ’God of Killing’.


    "Brother Yu, if you encounter any difficulties, let me know and I’ll help solve them." Su Yongzhen said confidently.


    Xiang Yu was gratified and smiled, "Alright, if I encounter any difficulties, I’ll definitely reach out to you."


    The two had a pleasant conversation, realizing only after hanging up that they had talked for half an hour.


    After the call, Xiang Yu saw that it was already nine in the morning. He didn’t continue to exercise but grabbed a quick bite to eat, then had Tie Zhuzi notify the self-defense team to assemble.


    The self-defense team was nervous upon hearing that the leader wanted to meet them. Last time, the self-defense team caused a disturbance that nearly led to disaster, and they feared Xiang Yu would punish them.


    The self-defense team arrived at the base and stood neatly in line.


    Around 9:30 in the morning, Xiang Yu arrived at the scene and was pleased to see that everyone in the self-defense team looked energetic.


    "I’ve gathered you all here today to discuss something." Xiang Yu continued, "Our city is developing, and both the guards and the self-defense team need expansion, and the guards will mainly be selected from the brothers in the self-defense team."


    Hearing this, the self-defense team was energized. Though they didn’t express it, they hoped to join the guards.


    Joining the guards not only allowed for daily training, but it also came with better food and reputation.


    "If you’re willing, you can sign up, though there aren’t many spots this time, and you’ll need topete for them." Xiang Yu said.


    The self-defense team was excited; they could join the guards now.


    Xiang Yu assigned the selection task to Xiao Xuan, instructing him to pick those with good physical strength and potential.


    Eck was a bit unhappy about this, feeling it weakened their power.


    Xiang Yu naturally considered this and continued, "The guards and the self-defense team are one family. Eck is the captain of the self-defense team and also serves as the vice-captain of the guards. His orders are my orders, and you must obey."


    "Yes." Everyone, both self-defense team and guards, shouted in unison.


    Eck looked at Xiang Yu somewhat dumbfounded and awkwardly smiled, "How can that be? Maybe I shouldn’t get involved with the guards."


    Xiang Yu waved his hand, "There’s no conflict; you’re the vice-captain of the guards, so you’ll also need to attend the training sessions, can’t let the brothers outdo you."


    Eck was happy and stood there, saluting Xiang Yu and shouting, "Yes."


    "Good, the selection is set for today. Eck, spread the word, stating that our self-defense team also needs more members. Anyone interested can join. We wee people from any city."


    Hearing this, Eck looked at Xiang Yu in confusion, "Are we recruiting people from other cities too?"


    Xiang Yu nodded seriously, "No matter where they’re from, as long as they want to join our self-defense team, we wee them."


    Xiang Yu was thinking long-term, as the poption of Sun City was limited, he had to gradually expand outward...
