Alien world

Chapter 1316 Chapter 238. Pain Gang

Just as he was about to ask Harding to introduce the surrounding forces, his men outside rushed in and said that the Wolf Gang had sent a messenger.

"Why is it the Wolf Gang!?" Harding's face turned pale.

Joan was puzzled: "You know?"

"The Wolf Gang is the largest gang in the entire area. Their leader, the Wolf King, is the leader of this area. We all have to pay taxes to him..."

"What tax?"

"You don't know?"

Joan's face was filled with clear stupidity: "Should I know?"

She had just arrived and hadn't taken a penny, so of course she didn't know she had to pay taxes.

Harding said that after the previous gang leader sold the coal mine, he would divide the money into five parts: one part for taxes, one part for the Oyster Gang, one part for the Wolf Gang, and one part for himself, and the rest would fall into the hands of them and the laborers.

With so many people wanting to share, Joan suddenly felt that the coal mine wasn't that profitable anymore...

No wonder when I said I would pay it back in ten days, the slave trader asked, "Are you sure?"...

"The Wolf Gang is the power of the great lord?"

"I haven't heard of it..." Harding shook his head.

Joan counted on her fingers: "So not only do I have to pay taxes to the great lord, but I also have to pay tribute to the Oyster Gang and pay protection fees to the Wolf Gang... Doesn't that mean we are working for them?"

"Boss, so many people are trying so hard to get a job for them but they can't get one!"

Joan had planned how to pay back the money, how to spend it, and how many weapons, armor, and food to buy. Suddenly, two-thirds of the money she earned was gone, and she quit immediately.

"Is that wolf king difficult to deal with?"

"It is said that he is an elite warrior who has mastered combat skills, and he has five or six professionals under him!"

"Oh……"

It's indeed not easy to deal with them. If they stand a little more dispersed, it will take Elimoyas several more seconds.

Joan followed Harding out. The snow outside had stopped for a while, but the sky was still gloomy.

The messenger from the Wolf Gang stood in front of the shed, his arrogance making the surrounding gang members look timid.

Joan couldn't help but straighten her chest and walked in front of him.

The Wolf Gang messenger frowned and looked at the puzzled Joan for a few seconds: "Are you their new boss? A woman?"

"it is me."

"You should know the rules, right?"

"What--"

"I know, I know, Mr. Messenger." Harding pulled Joan and pleaded.

He didn't want this "good gang leader" to offend the people of the Wolf Gang, and he didn't want to lose such a high salary.

Joan decided to give face to one of her men: "Okay, how much do you want to pay?"

"It's the same as before. I think your gang has told you."

"Hmm..." Joan said perfunctorily.

But it wasn't over yet, the Wolf Gang messenger said unkindly: "You took away the territory of the boss's brothers. Although it complies with the rules, the boss is very unhappy, so you have to hand over half of the profits of Hygar Valley."

"How much? Half, you say? What about the taxes and the Oyster Gang?"

"That's your business."

After a quick calculation, he found that if he continued to do this, he would still owe dozens of silver coins after selling the ore every day. Joan couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, "What a bullshit Wolf Gang, they only lie on our heads and suck our blood. Do you think we Freedom Gang are easy to mess with?!"

The two imperial officials who were hiding in front of the mine and peeking in could not help but shake their heads.

A bit kind, but still inexperienced, gets irritated by the slightest provocation. Hmm... this is strangely similar.

The Wolf Gang messenger who was spit on the face couldn't believe that someone dared to resist them, and his face quickly turned gloomy: "I will convey your words to the gang leader truthfully..."

"Are you a professional?" Joan thought about the possibility of keeping him. "Our boss is an elite, and there are several warriors. You, stupid woman, will pay the price for your stupidity...!"

Joan was tempted to do something, but gave up on keeping him.

She felt that she should be a level 0.5 warrior - she was fine bullying ordinary people, but she would be weak when fighting against real warriors.

"Tell you about the wolf king."

Joan, who has dealt with the streets a lot, knows how to say harsh words: "I'll go get his head later."

……

"Did she really say that?"

The arrogant messenger outside trembled in fear in front of the Wolf King: "Yes, Boss, that woman is really looking for death!"

The second in command came over and said, "Maybe there's something wrong. It's strange enough that a female warrior appears here, and she's not afraid of you..."

The wolf king glanced sideways: "You want me to endure it?"

"If we can tolerate this, we are not the Wolf Gang." The second in command smiled, "I remember that the Pain Gang wanted to come in, right? Why not let them be the first to come forward and test the background of that woman."

The Wolf King snorted coldly: "Granger, you are too cautious."

"The coal mine of the Feilun Trading Company was just taken away by a big shot, and the big lord didn't even dare to fart. He just sealed it off... In this turbulent year, we'd better be careful."

The leader of the Pain Gang was outside, and the second in command asked his men to bring him over.

"Boss Ali, we can give you a chance."

The second-in-command named Granger walked up to the leader of the Pain Gang - he was a bald man covered with scars, with a hideous scratch running from his forehead across his eyeball and extending to the wing of his nose.

"An old acquaintance of the Wolf King was killed by a newcomer. This is the rule of the Broken Mining District, and no one is to blame. But she didn't understand the rules and actually provoked the Wolf Gang. You go to Valoran Basin to deal with this matter and use it to warn everyone of the consequences of offending the Wolf Gang."

The wolf king snorted from behind: "I want her head to be a urinal!"

The leader of the Pain Gang rolled his eyes, and both his intact eye and his blind blue eye stared at the Wolf King.

"I'll kill everyone there."

……

"Boss, we can't afford to offend the Wolf Gang, why don't we just run away... Don't worry about those laborers, they will be fine. The Oyster Gang has rules, no one can kill laborers at will."

Harding walked around in circles anxiously.

Not only him, but all the gang members around him had desperate expressions as if the sky was falling.

It seems that they still don't trust themselves enough.

Joan thought, but they are loyal - no one has tried to escape so far.

"Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it. In fact, I am the spokesperson for a certain powerful force."

Joan put her hands on her hips and said to her stunned subordinates, "I didn't come here alone. I have several masters standing behind me. If necessary, Epic can help."

Harding's mouth grew large enough to hold a pound of coal.

But he believed it.

Thinking back to the inexplicable things Joan did after becoming the boss... who else would do this except someone with great power! ?
"Don't worry, I'll go find help now."

Joan patted Harding on the shoulder and walked outside, blurring into the newly falling snow.

"Didn't the boss run away?"

Harding immediately glared at the foul-mouthed guy.

……

Outside the Valoran Basin, Joan held the scales.

She had been in this position for several minutes, but the scales still did not respond.

Ilimoyas... Could it be that she hasn't returned yet from delivering the letter?
