It's just flattery; it doesn't take much effort.

If the other party is satisfied, then things will be much easier.

"Hehe, you old man have quite a good eye, I like that."

The short, stocky man in the seat let out a sinister smile.

Then her gaze fell on Lu Xuan.

"Since you have the guts to do business with my Poison Sand Gang, then I'd like to see what kind of business you're interested in doing with my Poison Sand Gang?"

The dwarf's real name is Tang An.

At this moment, his gaze swept over Lu Xuan, looking him up and down.

Doing business with the Poison Sand Gang, they're bound to make a killing off you, kid.

However, we should first see what kind of business Lu Xuan is going to do.

"I want to ask the Poison Sand Gang to help me get someone out of trouble."

"I have a friend who was kidnapped near Wuling County."

"They must have brought it to this Huangsha City, preparing to release it to participate in the Flying Sand Arena competition."

"I'm willing to offer a thousand taels of gold if the Poison Sand Gang can help me get this person out."

One thousand taels of gold!

That's already equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver.

That's quite a big deal!

He spent 100,000 taels of silver in one go.

Don't be fooled by how powerful these gangs in Huangsha City may seem. When they can't come up with money, they're just as miserable as ever.

Even heroes are stumped by a single penny, and this applies to all heroes, even those in Huangsha City.

Without money, you can't move an inch.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, a look of surprise flashed across Tang An's eyes.

Clearly, that's what Tang An was thinking.

Since Lu Xuan could casually produce a thousand taels of gold, he could certainly produce even more money.

Human nature is always greedy.

Especially when facing someone like Lu Xuan, who couldn't wait to rescue someone.

Moreover, Lu Xuan in front of him looked like an old man who couldn't even kill a chicken, and he wasn't a threat at all.

To the Poison Sand Gang, Lu Xuan was like lamb delivered into a pack of tigers.

"How could you be so careless..."

"Although our Poison Sand Gang does recruit players from outside, most of them come voluntarily, so your friend may not necessarily be a member of our Poison Sand Gang."

Tang An lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan didn't panic or change his expression. Instead, he remained calm, sitting in his seat and looking at Tang An, waiting for Tang An to say what he would say next.

"However, we can basically find out about the contestants for this tournament organized by our three major gangs. How about this, you give me a thousand taels of gold as a deposit."

"I'll let you know once I find the person, okay?"

Tang An said with a smile.

One thousand taels of gold, as a deposit?

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly.

You shorty, you really dare to speak like that.

Judging from Tang An's words, he is only responsible for finding the person, not for rescuing them. If he does rescue them, it will likely be for a different price.

However, Lu Xuan's expression didn't change much as he listened to what the other party said. No matter what method the other party used, as long as they found the person, that was all that mattered.

"Alright, I'll give you a thousand taels of gold first. Once you find the person, please let me know, Vice Chief."

As Lu Xuan spoke, he very generously took out a thousand taels of gold and placed it on the table.

Once we find the people, we can act without restraint, kill them, and then take the money back.

This was Lu Xuan's own idea.

Whether the surrounding nations need the existence of this Yellow Sand City is none of his business.

Anyone who offends him will die.

Otherwise, these people will definitely try to retaliate in the future.

We absolutely cannot allow such a huge hidden danger to exist.

We must kill them all, or at least make them too afraid to even entertain such a thought.

Tang An was overjoyed when he saw the gold on the table. He quickly moved the thousand taels of gold in front of him, weighed it carefully, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.

He then continued speaking.

"As you know, the other two gangs don't get along with us. If we find the person and I step in to get them out, it won't be too much of a problem, but I don't know if we'll have enough money."

"How about this, you give me another thousand taels of gold, and I'll talk to them about it. I'll tell you what I'm offering later, and I'll make sure it's adjusted accordingly!"

"And if we waste time, and the person is already sent out, wouldn't that be bad?"

"You know, the betting odds outside have already been opened. If the odds are set to continue, it will be extremely difficult to get people out of trouble."

Upon hearing Tang An's words, Lu Xuan deliberately revealed a hint of worry in his eyes.

"You don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, then take your money back. I'm not going to earn this money anymore."

Tang An casually pushed the money off the table back, seemingly indicating that he was giving up.

Lu Xuan quickly took over the role.

"No, no, no, sir, please don't be angry. I really don't have that much money... I only have five hundred taels left..."

"Then five hundred taels!"

"Give it to me first, and I'll take care of things perfectly for you!"

Tang An said with an air of boundless pride.

Lu Xuan, with a pained expression, offered the five hundred taels of gold with both hands.

"Hehe, that's more like it! Old man, go ask around the streets of Huangsha City. Who doesn't know the reputation of my Poison Sand Gang? It's all well-known! Don't worry, you go back first, I'll definitely let you know about this."

Tang An patted his chest and said.

"But sir, you haven't asked who I'm looking for yet?"

Lu Xuan said.

"Oh, right... didn't you tell my men? I thought you already did... Okay, tell me his name."

"His name is Lin Haichao. Please keep an eye out for him."

"Lin Haichao, is it? I understand."

Tang An waved his hand, signaling his men to see the guests out.

I tricked Lu Xuan just now, and now it seems that Lu Xuan really doesn't have that much money to spare. Anyway, let's get this 1,500 taels of gold first.

Then, make up some excuses to get the old man to scrape together some money.

"Then thank you very much, sir."

Lu Xuan stood up, cupped his hands, and said.

Then he left directly.

After Lu Xuan left, a man dressed like an accountant stepped forward, carrying a thick book in his hand. He opened the book.

"Second Master, among the people we captured, there is indeed one named Lin Haichao, from the Fenghai Martial Arts School in Wuling County. He was brought by Xu Qing. He has a second-grade cultivation level and is quite an expert. Should we release him?"

The accountant stepped forward and said.

To everyone's surprise, Tang An immediately glared at him.

"Let it go? Are you out of your mind?"

"Does my Poison Sand Gang engage in the human trafficking business?"

"You think you can just release them after taking the money? What kind of gang is my Poison Sand Gang then!?"

"Ignore that old man."

"Wasn't this person brought by Xu Qing? Just tell Xu Qing to kill this old man."

Tang An said.

One reason for asking Xu Qing to take action was to have him test Lu Xuan's strength and see if Lu Xuan had any other helpers.

If he kills the man, he'll get 1,500 taels of gold for free.

If they can't kill him, they'll extort more money from him later.

It's a win-win situation, and you don't face any risks.

Although the Poison Sand Gang has a lot of influence in Yellow Sand City.

However, some things need to be done carefully, otherwise, it's easy to make a mistake. It's always good to be cautious in everything you do.

Of course, when it's your turn to make a move, you should be assertive when necessary.

Otherwise, these people will really think you're useless, and they'll all yell and shout at you.

Lu Xuan had no idea whether the Poison Sand Gang had actually carried out any work.

He then went to the Flying Sand Gang again.

The same requirement was given to the Flying Sand Gang.

The person who received Lu Xuan was a clerk from the Flying Sand Gang named Fei Qing.

He appeared refined and cultured, a man well-versed in classical literature, and his speech was also quite elegant.

Regarding the demands made by Lu Xuan.

Fei Qing readily accepted the money and promised Lu Xuan that he would help inquire about it.

However, Fei Qing only accepted five hundred taels of gold, not the full one thousand taels, and told Lu Xuan that the remaining five hundred taels could be given to him after he had found out the information.

Lu Xuan developed a slightly better impression of the Flying Sand Gang.

After all, such an attitude means they really want to get things done, and at least they have some principles.

However, Lu Xuan still didn't have high hopes for the Flying Sand Gang.

The Flying Sand Gang gives people the feeling that they are all easygoing and that everything is negotiable, so they won't drive you to a dead end.

But I won't put in any extra effort.

They can readily agree verbally, but when it comes to actually taking action, they rarely do anything significant.

The last hope lies with the Red Sand Gang.

Lu Xuan was only thinking about finding out where the person was.

I never expected it to be so complicated.

But to Lu Xuan's surprise...

The leader of the Red Sand Gang was actually a stunningly beautiful woman.

The leader of the Red Sand Gang was wearing a short skirt with shorts underneath, which showed off her long, shapely legs with a wheatish hue.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing a hint of his deep features.

From its appearance, it has a very full and round shape.

Even Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.

"Are you looking for someone?"

Chi Ling Sha glanced at Lu Xuan with great interest.

An old man with no strength to even kill a chicken actually dared to step into her Red Sand Gang's territory.

Chi Lingsha, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, propped her two long, slender legs up on the table, crossing them over each other.

Of course, his feet weren't pointing at Lu Xuan, as that would be somewhat impolite.

However, Chi Lingsha's actions also perfectly showcased the length of her jade-like legs.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a second look.

But he's a veteran, after all, and he knows how to balance things.

It's not that we haven't eaten good food before.

After glancing at it briefly, he looked away.

They did not linger.

Chi Ling Sha was somewhat surprised.

The old man wasn't even attracted to her beautiful legs.

If an ordinary person saw their own legs, they wouldn't be able to look away for at least a dozen breaths.

He's an old guy, after all; he might not be able to keep up anymore.

"Yes, I would appreciate it if you could do me a favor, Chief."

Lu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting.

"I am willing to offer one thousand taels of gold."
