Master Changsheng

Chapter 77, Section 076: Reunion with an Old Friend [Please continue reading]

After Ankai finished speaking, Polpi fled the place as if his life depended on it.

He ran towards the current strongholds of the city's nine major gangs...

He started plotting how to lure those guys to the Evergreen Gang's headquarters...

...

Standing in the courtyard of the Evergreen Gang.

An Kai looked at a secluded little house and chuckled coldly.

Reed, being quite perceptive, headed straight for the hut.

Watching Reed leave, Hanks sighed inwardly. He remembered that when he gave Reed instructions, he had to be very clear about what he was told…

"You bastard, you're impersonating me, aren't you!"

Hanks cursed under his breath, feeling a strange mix of emotions. He was clearly Reed's master.

"Hanks, aren't you annoyed by this filthy yard?"

In front of Hanks, Ankai suddenly said something with a hint of disdain.

With such a blatant hint, how could Hanks not understand Ankai's intentions?

All I wanted was for him to clean the yard...

She wanted to refuse, after all, she was an elder of Ankai, and an elderly person at that.

only…

When he saw Ankai using the [Freeze] spell to wipe the [Brute Force Staff] covered in blood, the words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a sound...

"It's so dirty! I hate this kind of environment!"

"Ankai, leave this to me. I hate this dirty environment the most." Hanks repeated twice, his brows furrowed, as if he really hated the place.

Ankai, who was wiping the [Brute Force Staff], suddenly smiled and said, "Really? That's great."

Hanks chuckled sheepishly, took out cleaning tools from the west corner of the yard, and began cleaning...

At this moment, besides An Kai who was idle, there was also a soldier who had taken action earlier, as well as Widow Wang who had just entered the courtyard from outside the gate and two soldiers who were disguised.

They watched Hanks clean up alone without doing anything...

Already angry from cleaning the stinking courtyard, seeing the three soldiers... and... the three soldiers remaining unmoved only fueled his anger...

"Look at you, hurry up and get over here to help!"

"Hehehe... I was talking about the three of them, not you..."

Widow Wang chose a clean spot, chuckled softly, and watched Hanks and the three soldiers clean the courtyard, occasionally giving Hanks an encouraging look.

That look in his eyes was like a powerful stimulant; after seeing it, Hanks straightened up and was full of energy...

The tools in his hands made a whooshing sound as he used them.

...

"Sir, there's only this old man left in that house."

Reed returned, carrying an old man with gray hair.

He was thin, with shifty eyes, and dared not look up at the faces of those around him.

Coincidentally.

This person is also an acquaintance of Ankai.

—Frank

That old guy who was in charge of registering offerings to the Kaishan Gang.

An Kai still remembered him; when he was a retainer in the Kaishan Gang, he often traded food for gossip and interesting tidbits from this old man…

Upon reuniting with his old friend, An Kai was quite emotional, realizing that the old man had taken a lot of things from him for free before.

Because he refused to search for the dead brother of the Kaishan Gang leader, he was given the cold shoulder...

No matter how Ankai looked at it, Frank looked like he was about to die...

He made a throat-slitting gesture at Reed, then turned his back, unwilling to watch his old friend leave before his eyes…

Reed understood immediately, grabbed Frank's thin body, and prepared to use the machete in his hand to style him.

Frank was jolted awake when the blade of the machete sliced ​​through his throat, snapping out of his dazed state.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I know the resource storage locations of the four major gangs in the former Chaos City!"

Reed paused, looking at Ankai who had turned around…

Frank then realized that the honest-looking warrior in front of him was the real person in charge.

"My lord, please don't kill me. I'm useful to you. I know the locations of the original four major gangs' resource storage sites."

"I've been a manager in four different gangs, and I'm absolutely not lying!"

"Sir, as long as we take care of those other three gangs, I can lead you to those resources."

"My lord! I'm serious, I absolutely didn't lie!"

Ankai smiled when Frank spoke.

He stepped forward and glanced at Frank, whose throat had been slashed open by a blade.

He slapped Reed's hands away from Frank.

"Don't misunderstand, we are all good people, and we were forced into this situation."

"Ugh!"

"Reed, you take good care of this old man. I reckon you'll be able to go with him to those gangs to find resources tomorrow."

"By the way, where are the Evergreen Gang's resources?"

An Kai smiled and spoke softly, as if he were a savior who had come to rescue this turbulent world.

Frank, who was quite old, swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Um... among the limbs of the group of people you smashed, there was a grayish-brown storage ring, which contained the Evergreen Gang's resources."

After listening to Frank's words, Ankai looked at Hanks and the other three who were cleaning the yard and shouted, "Did you hear that? There's a grayish-brown storage ring."

Hanks, who was cleaning, quickly replied, "Don't worry, leave it to me, it'll be fine!"

Then Ankai waved his hand, signaling Reed to take Frank to his room so they could catch up.

Reed understood immediately, grinned maliciously, nodded, and grabbed Frank, heading towards the previously secluded room…

Ankai believed half of what Frank said.

He guessed that Frank must have used this story to avoid being dealt with by the previous group.

Frank was well aware of his plans.

He simply believed that dealing with the other three major gangs would take a long time, or that they simply didn't have the ability to deal with them, so that Frank could continue to live peacefully.

Unfortunately, he encountered An Kai, not the same group of guys as before.

Ankai not only has the strength, but he will also be able to take care of those guys very quickly.

If Ankai eventually finds out that old man Frank was lying to him, he will make him know what it means to wish he were dead.

In this desolate desert, meeting an old friend can sometimes be this dangerous...

The outer city of Chaos City is simply too large. If it were smaller, An Kai would have already blasted it flat with a fireball spell.

Unlike now, it still takes some time to gather resources.

In other words, no one knows An Kai's thoughts. If someone did know, they would definitely scold An Kai for being ungrateful. They would be willing to take a long time to plunder the resources of a city!

While Hanks and the others were cleaning, Ankai walked around the courtyard, setting up one [Freeze Spell] after another...

...

Approximately three hours later.

A commotion arose outside the Evergreen Gang's headquarters.

"At least this guy has some sense; he knew to choose me as the city lord!"

"Bullshit! They clearly elected me as the city lord!"

"You dare to compete with me for the city lord position?!"

"Alright, stop arguing. We're here to divide up our territories. What use is a nominal city lord?"

"Polpi, is your master really saying he's withdrawing from this territorial division just to get a useless deputy city lord position?"

Polpi, walking behind, wore a humble smile and nodded quickly when someone asked him a question.

"Yes, that's what they say..."

Polpi smiled. As they got closer to the Evergreen Gang's headquarters, his usually calm heart grew increasingly excited.

His "master" had long since crumbled and was definitely out of the running in this territorial division, so Polpi believed he hadn't said anything wrong...

A group of people, seemingly walking together but each mindful of those around them, entered the clean and tidy Changqing Gang compound in an orderly fashion…

Polpi lagged behind and considerately closed the gates of the Evergreen Gang's headquarters...
