    I once secretly transported a collection worth hundreds of thousands of Gold Dragons to the outskirts of Cyan Town and handed it over to the mercenary corps under themand of the former Lord of Cyan City.”


    “I remember now…”


    Upon hearing this, Rhizoma Drynariae revealed an expression of sudden realization.


    Thoughtfully, he said, “I recall that a few years ago, the former City Lord indeed obtained arge number of valuable items all at once, which led him to happily contribute a third of the funds to purchase new Tier 2 equipment for me and several other Defense Army Battalion Commanders. Now that I think about it, it must have been when he withdrew from the mine!”


    Having said that, Rhizoma Drynariae’s gaze towards Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a few more traces of unconcealed admiration.


    No matter how you look at it, the former Lord of Cyan City was simply iparable to the current Lord.


    “I understand now. It turns out that the former City Lord ultimately sumbed to a huge sum of money. This indeed aligns with his style of seizing and plundering by force.”


    Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.


    “Indeed, no wonder the former City Lord would give up mining. A rough estimate of several hundred thousand Gold Dragons could equal the total ie of Ma Town’s mining operations for several years.”


    At this point, Linda, who was by his side, also disyed a look of sudden enlightenment.


    However, she immediately revealed a puzzled expression on her pretty face, “But that makes things even more bizarre. Why would the Lord of Ma City do this? Isn’t this equivalent to handing over the profits from the mine in the past few years to the former Lord of Cyan City?”


    “Not only that, what is even more iprehensible is that our Lord of Ma City hasn’t sold any of the mined ores in recent years but kept them all in his own hands…”


    On the other side, Nathan Howard’s resolute face was filled with bafflement, he continued, “Moreover, even the City Lord Mansion was moved directly into a mine filled with arge amount of ore. It’s simply baffling.”


    “The mined ores were not sold? He directly moved the City Lord Mansion into the mine?”


    Upon hearing this, everyone present showed puzzled expressions.


    “That’s right, our City Lord has ruled Ma Town for over a decade. Prior to that, his personality was just a little impulsive and irritable, but it was far from the madness we see now.”


    On the other side, Nathan Howard shook his head helplessly.


    “So, this Lord of Ma City changed suddenly after mining the ore vein?”


    Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and pondered, “It seems that all of this clearly has a close connection with the zing Crystal Mine Vein. So much so that he would rather give up arge amount of Gold Dragons and part ways with the former Lord of Cyan City, choosing to monopolize the mine vein.”


    “But it’s really hard to understand.”


    Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, she said, “What kind of magic does this zing Crystal Mine Vein possess that could enchant the Lord of Ma City so much that he would even move into the mine?”


    “As for that, we currently don’t know.”


    After pondering for a moment, Leo Ray finished his cup of tea and summarized, “In short, what can be confirmed now is that such a price cannot be considered top-tier for zing Crystals, but it obviously has an extraordinary appeal to the Lord of Ma City.


    Moreover, this appeal is far beyond the normal range, causing him to be willing to abandonrge amounts of wealth, his people, and even the entire city. As for why this irrational situation urs, I’m afraid only the Lord of Ma City himself knows.”


    “It’s really baffling.”


    With a sigh, Linda nodded thoughtfully.


    “Alright, since we have already learned about this, the next course of action is clear – first cut off the Mine Defense Team, which is the wings of the Lord of Ma City, and then directly question the person in question.”


    Putting down the teacup, Leo Ray stood up and addressed the group of powerful individuals and Nathan Howard who were seated lower down.


    “Please rest assured, my Lord. During this operation, our two Defense Army Battalions in Ma Town will fully cooperate with your actions and fight side by side with you!”


    Facing them, Nathan Howard’s face couldn’t help but reveal an excited expression, stating, “I’ve been wanting to tear those evildoers to pieces for a long time already!”


    Central urban area of Ma Town, headquarters of the Mine Defense Team.


    At this moment, inside a spacious and brightly lit hall, a middle-aged man with a malicious face sat at the top, closing his eyes to rest.


    Beneath him stood more than ten equally stern and powerful figures.


    “Vice Team Leader, the work efficiency of the residents of Cyan Town has noticeably declined recently. Should we give them a bloody lesson?”


    At this moment, a thin and tall man at the lower seat sneered with a smile.


    “Kill a few, just to serve as a longsting reminder.”


    Nodding slightly, the malicious man at the top slowly opened his eyes and spoke softly.


    “By the way, Vice Team Leader, Eli Cornelius led a team to deal with ame miner from Cyan Town but hasn’t returned yet. Should we send someone to check it out?”


    The thin and tall man saluted with a fist and asked.


    “Don’t worry, Eli Cornelius is a tall and strong guy, but also a Tier 2 Peak Level expert. I’m afraid that something must have dyed him on his way back.”
