Master Changsheng

Chapter 78 077: The Hands-off Manager

A group of people had just entered the Evergreen Gang.

Just as I was about to make a joke about why the Evergreen Gang was keeping things so clean...

Suddenly, they felt a chill beneath their feet, and before they could react, they were turned into ice sculptures...

Ankai walked out of the house in the middle, followed by Hanks and Frank, who was being dragged around by Reed and was paralyzed with fear.

Beside the human-shaped ice sculptures, Polpi lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling slightly, not daring to raise his head.

"Is this the power of a high-level mage?!"

Polpi was shocked; at that moment, he felt nothing but shock…

An Kai remained calm and walked up to a group of humanoid ice sculptures, holding the [Brute Force Staff].

A light tap produced a metallic clanging sound.

"Come here and tell me about their origins."

He called out to Polpi, who was prostrate on the ground, and Polpi quickly got up, bowed, and came behind Ankai…

After confirming their identities based on the clothing of the ice sculpture, they quietly recounted their origins to An Kai…

Whenever he began by mentioning "outside the city," Ankai would smash the ice sculpture without hesitation...

In an instant, ice shards scattered all over the ground.

Polpi swallowed hard and spoke even more cautiously.

However, seeing these powerful professionals being smashed into ice shards in front of him, Polpi felt a surge of pleasure.

Not far behind Ankai, Hanks looked puzzled.

He noticed that Ankai had changed quite a bit.

Even killing someone requires finding a reason for oneself.

He wasn't like this before; he would just kill without looking for a reason.

Chaos City, where are there any good people...?

Before long, all the ice sculptures in the courtyard, which were described as "outer city" by Polpi, were smashed one by one by Ankai.

Besides smashing up a pile of ice shards, Ankai also acquired nine storage rings.

Including the storage rings he acquired while waiting outside the city, he now has a total of 14 storage rings.

Holding the storage ring in his hand, An Kai frowned after sensing its presence.

The nine storage rings he held together contained only 108 gold coins, plus three sets of Tier 2 job change certificates, for the relatively common job of [Warrior - Strength Warrior].

Perhaps feeling that storing only these things in the storage rings was too meager, the nine storage rings were also stuffed full of fresh beast meat…

"Polpi, are these so-called top ten gangs really that poor?"

The storage ring of the Evergreen Gang's leader was the same, containing only a few scattered gold coins and stuffed with fresh animal meat.

These things simply don't meet Ankai's expectations...

"M-My lord...when the inner city of Chaos City severed its communication, it already conducted a search..."

"The four major gangs in the city were the first to be looted, and nothing was left. These gold coins were stolen from others."

"Aside from the resources still held by the city's residents, the four major gangs are completely broke..."

Polpi lowered his head, looking at his toes, and explained to Ankai beside him...

Ankai was silent for a moment, then asked Hanks, "How long do you think it would take to completely loot Chaos City now?"

Hanks pondered for a few seconds: "I'd estimate one or two months..."

"That long?"

"One or two months is an understatement. Chaos City is so big, and thoroughly looting it is no easy task."

Leave professional matters to professionals. With his background as a spy for seven nations, Hanks' analysis still has a certain value.

"Ninety-one percent," An Kai tentatively offered his price.

Hanks refused without even thinking.

"Two-eight!"

"Okay! Deal!"

Ankai's quick agreement gave Hanks the illusion that Ankai would agree to a different price if he asked for one.

"If there's anything that can't be resolved, go to the city entrance and shout our slogans, and I'll take action."

"Clean up the city and gather resources from the remaining three gangs."

"The rest is up to you. Just do it the way we agreed, 80/20."

After giving his instructions, An Kai washed his hands of the matter and turned to leave.

He was preparing to go into seclusion. The desert was becoming increasingly chaotic, and he should make the most of his time to improve his strength.

Ankai wasn't worried that Hanks would cheat him when it came to the distribution of spoils after looting the outer city of Chaos.

It wasn't because of trust in Hanks, but because Ankai not only conducts spot checks and comparisons in the final results, but also carries out thorough inspections.

Make sure that old man Hanks isn't fooling him.

An Kairen walked to the entrance of the Changqing Gang's headquarters.

Hanks suddenly spoke up from behind, asking, "What do you do when you encounter someone who's uncooperative?"

This idiotic question made An Kai pause in his tracks. Without turning around, he replied, "We're robbers. You're asking me what to do? Why don't you just kill the hostage?"

With a soft shout, An Kai continued walking...

"No reason is needed?"

Hanks, as if he didn't understand, continued to ask Ankai's retreating figure...

"You're getting senile!"

"You're being so hesitant about killing someone from Chaos City!"

After offering a few disapproving remarks, An Kai waved his hand and walked towards the entrance of Chaos City…

Watching Ankai leave, Hanks wanted to say, "Didn't I learn that from you?"

However, he was afraid that An Kai would be unhappy if he heard it, so he kept it to himself and didn't say it.

Hanks understood what the kid was planning.

Pretending to trust, they used methods to conduct spot checks during the final distribution to confirm that they had not embezzled any funds.

However, Hanks isn't worried about spot checks because he never intended to do so.

Once Ankai obtains the resources, he will inevitably exchange them for magic stones.

That will be his time to shine.

He keeps calling himself "Young Master" and listens to An Kai's every word, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to compensate himself when exchanging items!

Thinking of this, Hanks couldn't help but laugh.

After years of getting along, he had long since figured out how to get along with An Kai.

They're young after all, they like to be fawned over...

He straightened his back and glanced at Polpi, who was hunched over and dared not raise his head…

"You are now the deputy city lord of Chaos City."

Polpi was taken aback, not understanding what this meant...

"Deputy City Lord, I have a task for you."

"Gather 100 professionals for me and bring them here."

"Also, kidnap that damned detector dealer!"

After giving his instructions, Hanks waved his hand, signaling Polpi to leave.

He gave a soft hum and walked up to Reed…

"From this moment forward, you are the Lord of Chaos City."

"Tell the residents of Chaos City that we have not severed ties with the inner city; the inner city has always been protecting us!"

"The rules have changed now. Each person needs to pay five gold coins to enjoy protection. If you don't have gold coins, you can use other things instead."

"When your deputy city lord returns, you and he will handle this matter together. Make me a list of those who do not follow the rules."

"Alright, don't go into the Evergreen Gang unless you have to."

After giving his instructions, Hanks chuckled a few times and headed towards Widow Wang's room...

Reed, left standing there dumbfounded, uttered, "I've become the city lord?"

...

The outer city of Chaos, at the entrance.

A courtyard located only 20 meters from the entrance.

Ankai cleaned it up completely.

This is the temporary retreat he prepared for himself.

By blocking the entrance, one can not only escape at any time, but also observe whether others are escaping.

After all, this courtyard has two floors, and from the second floor, one can clearly see what's happening at the entrance...

After retrieving the beast meat from his storage ring and processing it at the [Beast Meat Refining Table], Ankai began his secluded cultivation...

Thanks to the confused coward, book friend 161…377, and Dao for sending monthly tickets.
