Welcome to the Ability Shop!

Chapter 64 Siege
Just one day later, Chen Xuan received a shipping order from Walter Arms Company—they had packed all the guns into a truck as requested and parked it in a nearby park. They also scanned and sent him a property gift agreement for a dilapidated, uninhabited villa right next to the park.

Walter specifically mentioned this issue, feeling that giving away such a shabby house was beneath him; he could have prepared a much better gift, such as a luxury apartment in the city center or a fully furnished villa.

But Chen Xuan refused them all.

What he wanted was not a settlement, but a branch store suitable for transferring goods.

Moreover, this branch isn't fixed and can't be moved. If he has multiple properties, he can open one here for a month and then open another one for a month. The only cost is that each time he changes, he wastes a lot of money.

Scan the gift contract into the app, and the option to set up a branch will appear.

Chen Xuan clicked "confirm," and immediately felt the shop shake slightly.

Then he noticed an elevator door on the wall to the side of the bar.

So you're just not going to act anymore!
The elevator door wasn't made of cold metal; instead, it was made of elegant solid wood, and the surrounding door frame was carved with artistic patterns that I couldn't name.

There were no selection buttons on the door frame, only a wooden pull ring.

He pulled back slightly, and the door slid open.

The interior was exceptionally spacious, at least thirty square meters, enough to serve as a bedroom. After the door closed, Chen Xuan noticed a row of hand-carved characters appearing on the wooden panel to his right.

He discovered that although the shop was run-down and simple, it was actually quite sophisticated in some aspects.

Pressing the word "Branch" immediately produced a clanging sound overhead, and the door reopened in less than a second.

Although it was the same bar and the same coffee machine, Chen Xuan knew he was no longer in Tianlu Community.

The new shop still smelled faintly of dust, as if it had just awakened from a long period of time.

The layout of the branch store is significantly different from that of the shops in the neighborhood. For example, the shopping area is smaller, and the display cases are arranged differently. However, in general, all the equipment available in the main store is also available here. However, all the shelves are empty, and he needs to fill them in himself.

Chen Xuan stood by the window and glanced around, and sure enough, there were five container trucks parked side by side in the park parking spaces not far away.

For safety reasons, he didn't even step outside.

Returning to the main store, Chen Xuan summoned a villager from Mala Village and explained the loading and unloading requirements. Soon, he and twenty of his accomplices from the village's fishing and farming departments arrived at the parking lot and began their busy unloading work. Chen Xuan, meanwhile, remained inside the branch store, keeping an eye on everything happening in the park.

……

Walter Weiss was also standing on the top floor of a hotel next to the park, watching the cargo with binoculars.

He was really curious as to why the other party insisted on buying a small bungalow near the delivery location, while not specifying the delivery location itself, as long as it was a relatively quiet and secluded place.

Keep in mind that this place is a long way from ports, train stations, and airports, and it seems impossible to transport such a large number of firearms out of the city by any means.

For use within the city?
Walter himself found the idea somewhat ridiculous: three thousand rifles plus a full load of bullets—if the Vigilantes dared to do that, they would become global enemies the very next day.

Then he saw a group of "porters" pouring out of the house.

They were dressed in very simple clothes, and they opened the unlocked cargo compartment door cleanly and efficiently, carrying everything they could back inside. The whole process was professional and quiet, and they carried it from four in the afternoon until evening.

After the goods were moved out, there was no more movement inside the house.

It would be impossible for Walter not to want to see for himself, but considering that his sudden appearance might break the rules of the transaction, he hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to have his butler disguise himself as a vagrant and take a peek at the dilapidated house.

The old butler, George, soon brought back shocking news.

"Sir...there's nothing in the house!"

"What do you mean by having absolutely nothing?"

"I didn't see the box, and I didn't see anyone. The house is exactly the same as when we bought it, it's all empty!" "Hahahaha..." Walter couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of the Limitless Agency, it is truly amazing in every aspect!
When he bought the house, he took a look at it. The previous owner hadn't left a single piece of furniture when he moved out, and the ground floor was empty except for dust and garbage. The house itself didn't have a basement, so if you wanted to fit the cargo of five large trucks inside, you'd have to fill all the rooms to capacity.

However, the organization conjured up three thousand guns and ammunition in broad daylight!
No wonder those big company leaders are so secretive about their organizations. Even if an organization with such capabilities can't overthrow the world, it can certainly throw it into chaos.

Walter's awe of the organization grew even stronger.

Fortunately, they currently appear to be a fairly orderly group.

“Alright, let’s go back.” He said to the butler, “George, this is something you and I should keep to yourselves, don’t tell anyone else… From today onwards, we’re part of this circle.”

……

……

Chen Xuan and Lin Qing saw Liu Shuyue again at the Liu family mansion.

She looked tired, but thankfully her spirits were still pretty good.

However, Chen Xuan noticed that there was still a layer of white frost that had not been wiped off below her right ear, as well as a small bloody cut.

"You are hurt?"

"You mean this?" She rubbed her neck with her hand. "I was a little careless, but it's alright."

Chen Xuan knew about the healing effects of blood oranges. The fact that a few marks remained after applying blood oranges meant that the injury was far more serious than she had described.

If the wound were deeper, it might directly damage the carotid artery and spine.

"A powerful cultivator has arrived from the other side?"

"Not really," Liu Shuyue smiled. "It's just that the move was very rare; it was the first time I'd ever seen it. I guess that person was a heretical cultivator, using demonic magic. Fortunately, he's already dead."

She then briefly recounted what had happened over the past five days.

The day after arriving at the Liu family's residence, she led a hunting party in a surprise attack, targeting the garrison outside the city. This proactive attack was highly effective, catching the enemy off guard and forcing them to retreat more than a hundred miles after losing most of their generals.

Because of the great success of this surprise attack, the troops that followed were much more vigilant. Not only were mobile sentries deployed, but even the rogue cultivators began to go out to scout ahead.

Judging from the flags raised in the military camp, vanguard troops from Baizhou, Cangzhou, and the royal city have gathered here. It can be said that troops from the three places bordering Yunzhou have been dispatched, with a total force estimated to exceed 25,000.

"King Qi is really willing to spend a fortune," Chen Xuan thought to himself.

Neighboring countries have already deployed troops on the border, ready to invade Daqi at any time. Yet he was still able to mobilize troops from three states to deal with Liu Shuyue at such a critical moment. From a certain perspective, this can be considered a kind of courage.

Of course, he could understand why the other party was doing what they were doing. Senior Sister Lan Qin had already trained a group of cultivator special forces for Luo Kingdom, while this side could only rely on recruiting rogue cultivators to make do. How could they not be anxious? If the two countries really went to war, and the disciples of Lianyun Sect personally participated in the battle, Qi Kingdom's chances of winning were obviously not high.

He could only escalate the pressure and force Liu Shuyue to turn back.

If radio existed in this world, the propaganda of the traitorous minister Liu Shuyue would probably be everywhere.

The reinforcements were undoubtedly effective, especially the increase in archers and heavy cavalry, which greatly increased the pressure on the hunting party's attack. Now they are completely pinned down inside the city and have lost the initiative in the battle.

Moreover, more and more independent cultivators are coming here to get a share of the profits.

These cultivators, relying on their limited abilities, frequently crossed Nine Peaks City to attack the Liu family. Today alone, more than a hundred rogue cultivators appeared, and after several battles, the hunting team suffered casualties.
