"And these idiots behind me, they don't even recognize me. I told them I was a wilderness hunter who had once received favors from your bastard father, and they actually believed me."

With a little persuasion, they foolishly told me that your father had died and that you were fleeing for your lives. Then they obediently followed me into the city, thinking that I could really find them jobs there.

Hank smiled and continued, "Although I do need to help them find jobs."

As they were talking, the henchman had already pointed the gun at He Ao's head, his finger on the trigger.

"Chief, watch out!"

A short-haired girl walked to the door. She saw the younger brother's actions and cried out in surprise.

This single sentence became the fuse that ignited the entire situation.

The henchman frantically tried to pull the trigger, but Hank quickly raised his hand and dodged to the window, increasing the distance between himself and Heo. At the same time, he opened his palms, revealing cannon muzzles aimed at Heo.

In that split second, He Ao suddenly pulled out the dagger stuck in the table and threw it.

The sharp dagger pierced his throat just before his henchman pulled the trigger, pinning him to the wall behind him.

Meanwhile, Hank, who was about to fire at Heo, suddenly felt an immense attraction to the gold jewelry on the small box by the door, which briefly distracted him.

Temptation!

By the time he came to his senses, the sharp scimitar was already in front of him.

"You're not a D-rank?"

In these final moments, all he could ask was this question in a hoarse voice.

A flash of silver light pierced his chest, sending his body crashing into the window behind him.

Countless shards of glass flew out, and a sharp scimitar pierced his energy core.

In that instant, flashes of lightning spilled from the machine's wounds, and Hank's strong body was lifted off the ground, flying out of the shattered window and into the vast darkness.

He drew his scimitar and turned around.

The blazing flames were on his body

Then it exploded, and countless flying fragments crashed against the wall, like dazzling fireworks illuminating the night.

Penny stood at the door, staring blankly at the magnificent scene.

She walked a little slower than He Ao, so she was a bit late, but she didn't expect that everything would be over as soon as she arrived.

He walked to the iron fence, next to which was a combination switch, which seemed to require a password to open the fence.

He glanced at the switch, then picked up his curved blade and chopped off several of the iron fence's supports, dismantling the entire fence.

The people imprisoned in the corner looked up, staring blankly at the figure who had removed his restraints. Bright lights shone on him, bathing his entire body in a soft glow.

Like a savior sent by God in a story.

"leader."

The woman at the front opened her mouth and called out hoarsely. Her lips were very dry. She tried to move, but collapsed weakly to the ground. She wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

"Don't rush,"

He Ao said softly, his gaze sweeping over the people imprisoned here. Everyone had their heads raised, their eyes fixed on him, and their eyes were shining with light at that moment.

He turned around and looked at Penny, who was walking towards him. "Look around. There should be glucose injections or rapid recovery nutrient solutions in this room. Wilderness hunters always keep some of these things on hand."

"Ah good!"

Penny nodded and went into another room.

He Ao, meanwhile, was watching the people imprisoned here. There were eight people in total, all of whom were from a group that had been separated from the previous group.

However, there should have been seventeen people who got separated from them at that time.

He Ao crouched down and asked in confusion, "Where are the others? Did they get separated from you?"

The group exchanged glances, seemingly unsure where to begin. Finally, the woman closest to He Ao spoke softly.

"They couldn't stand the hunger and beatings, so they went to the factory."

"factory?"

He Ao was taken aback.

"That Hank told us he would take us to the city to find work, that there was no danger in the city," a thin man next to him slowly added. "Actually, he wanted us to go to a factory."

"He said that the factory provided food and lodging, and there were no monsters to bother us, which was much better than being in the wilderness."

“We were already prepared to go, but the night before we were to leave, Linda got up in the middle of the night and met another homeless old man. He had run away from the factory and was caught by these people and beaten all night.”

Linda was the weak woman who spoke first. She was Penny's cousin and one of the better hunters in the camp. Heo turned his gaze to her.

“I didn’t say anything at the time,” Linda said softly. “I waited until they were all resting before I went to find the old man.”

At this moment, Penny brought out a box of bagged glucose injection solution. He Ao tore open the injection solution and handed it to each person one by one with Penny.

After handing it over, Linda was about to continue speaking with the glucose injection solution in her hand when He Ao gestured for her to drink some of the solution first.

"Don't rush, have a drink first, and then we can talk slowly."

People who have been starving for a long time have damaged gastrointestinal function and are extremely weak. Glucose injection can be directly absorbed by the body to replenish energy, water and electrolytes.

Linda looked at He Ao and obediently...

He took a sip of the injection fluid and continued,

"The old man said that all the work in the factory was high-intensity, with sixteen to eighteen hours a day. If anyone slacked off, they would be whipped by the foreman. Some people were beaten to death by the foreman, and some people fell into the machine and died because they were not sleeping well for a long time."

The old man said that those who work there will have gray hair by their twenties, and they will die from exhaustion after only a few years.

The foremen were all men of these wilderness hunters. Once inside the factory, they received no money other than food and lodging; all the money went to the foremen. Most of the wilderness wanderers inside had expired visas. When some wanderers tried to escape, the foremen threatened to hand them over to the city guards and drive them out of the city.

Even if someone tried to escape without fear of being driven out of town, the foreman would catch them, drag them back, and hang them in the corridor to beat them.

The old man took advantage of the foreman's inattention and ran out of the factory. However, he was old and his health had deteriorated after working in the factory. He couldn't survive back in the wilderness and could only wander the streets, where he was quickly caught and brought back by the group.

At this point, Linda took a sip of the injection fluid. "I told other people about this. We were planning to sneak away at night, but Hank found us. They separated us into two groups and locked us up. They starved and beat us. The others couldn't take it and were sent to the factory two days ago."

She paused for a moment, then said, "We can hold on a little longer, but if you don't come, we probably won't be able to hold on either. Going into the factory is the same as dying, but at least we can live a couple more days."

He Ao's gaze sharpened slightly. "Does anyone know where the factory is?"

Although Ronald took over as leader in a time of crisis, Hank was right. Ronald and his father were similar in some ways, such as their sense of responsibility as leaders.

Perhaps this is why Ronaldo was able to smoothly take over as leader without any opposition.

Although Wade could beat everyone, many people were still unconvinced by his position as vice leader.

The news about this factory also helped He Ao to figure out the main quest.

So he needed to go to the factory to 'take a look'.

Although all of Hank's men are dead, judging from these descriptions, there should be quite a few wilderness hunters in Dawn City who do this kind of work. If Linda and the others don't know the factory's address, Heo should be able to find out by asking other wilderness hunters.

“That old man said,” Linda paused for a moment, as if recalling, “at 135 Seventy-Ninth Avenue.”

"We are committed to helping every business that is facing financial difficulties."

On the huge screen, a tall, smiling, white-haired old man in a suit spoke slowly.

His identity information popped up in front of him.

[Edek Calvin]

[Chief Executive Officer of Nord Investment Bank, Executive Director of Nord Group]

“The Nord Group has a long history spanning centuries, during which we have helped many now-famous companies, such as Mosanto Grain Group, the number one in the grain market, Evis Space Systems, the number one in the military market, and Star Medical Group, the number one in the medical market.”

“For a long time, we have been looking for innovative companies that can help the federal government and human development, and supporting them.”

"At the same time, we are very happy to help companies that are experiencing financial difficulties. If your company is currently facing financial problems, you can come to us at any time."

"Nord Investment Bank has the flattest management structure in the entire Federation and is dedicated to serving each and every one of our clients. If you wish, you can even contact me directly."

"When it comes to dealing with customers, the CEO and every manager are on equal footing. We have always adhered to the principle that the customer is king."

"If you are interested, you can visit our official website or call the number at the bottom of the screen..."

A string of phone numbers is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

“Chief,” a hoarse voice called from beside Heo, “where do we go next?”

"Go see an old friend."

He Ao turned his gaze away from the huge screen and looked to his side.

That was Linda, whose hair was a little dry.

After drinking some glucose, her complexion improved noticeably.

He hailed two driverless taxis, one in front and one behind. Of everyone, only he and Penny had wristbands that allowed them to stay in touch, so the two of them each took a taxi.

Because driverless taxis have no drivers, their maximum passenger capacity has been reduced to five.

Ten people can just squeeze into two taxis.

Hank's house was no longer safe to stay in because of the explosion of Hank's mecha.

Even in Aston District, there is a basic order, and this kind of explosion is bound to attract some people.

In addition to starvation, the detainees were also whipped, leaving them with many wounds that required treatment.

To avoid trouble and to treat these people, Heo led the eight imprisoned people, who had regained some strength, away from Hank's residence.

Soon, the taxi stopped in a secluded alley.

He Ao led everyone out of the car and onto the sidewalk, where they were greeted by a rusty roller shutter door.

At the top of the roller shutter, above everyone's heads, was a dimly lit sign: [Huimei Communications].

This is Roger's shop, the underground doctor.

He Ao turned his gaze away from the signboard and fixed it on a small sign hanging in front of the roller shutter door, which read:
