Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Come here to acquire assets?

After hearing what Shanara said, I understood what she meant.

Now, the high-quality assets and properties in Inner Tale are vacant and at low prices, which is also a good opportunity for acquisition.

Of course, there are some risks involved.

If war breaks out again and the city is occupied by other people, this method of purchase will most likely not be recognized.

By then, the money spent will be wasted.

Now, the association is here.

In addition to the attack on the headquarters investigation team this time, more high-level professionals from the headquarters will come later, and if the news is blocked again, the probability of a large-scale battle is not high.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?" Wu Heng said.

Shannara's voice came again, "Once the news spreads, all the caravans will go there to look for opportunities. Merchants pursue profits, who cares about whether it is good or not? Besides, if we buy it, the Fifth Princess can still arrange any plans with us. If it is bought by someone else, it will not be so easy to discuss."

Then, Shannara added, "Everyone else in the investigation team has their own power and supporting chamber of commerce. They will definitely send the news out."

That is indeed true.

It's better to hold it in your own hands than to have it bought by others.

"Then come over and see what we can buy." Wu Heng also agreed.

"I will gather the funds tonight to avoid being overtaken by other chambers of commerce." Shannella said bluntly.

"it is good."

They chatted for a while, and Wu Heng also listened to the maid and Shannara talk about the situation on Treasure Island.

Overall, Treasure Island hasn't changed much.

The newspaper is still serializing, and now the third great detective story has begun.

Several best-selling items are also being sold continuously, the output of pens and watches is gradually increasing, and bicycle factories have also started production, but the efficiency has not yet been improved.

After chatting for a while, both sides confirmed that the other party was safe.

So I hung up the call.

……

Hang the mic back and have the skeletons guard the station.

Wu Heng picked up the water cup and took a sip, then sat back in his chair. He couldn't help but start thinking about what happened today.

The original plan was to capture the leader of the White Wing Gang for last.

However, they didn’t expect to find out that the old man pretending to be from the Snake Emblem Consortium also triggered a battle with the army.

If I hadn't killed the city lord, and if the skeleton army hadn't entered the city, it would be hard to say what the final outcome would have been.

Wu Heng, Tapani and Gianvito will definitely be able to escape, but it’s hard to say about the others.

There will definitely be a reduction in staff.

"I thought it was the Qilin Sect, but in the end it turned out to be the Zunsheng Sect." Wu Heng muttered while holding a teacup.

When they were at Treasure Island, Wu Heng and Xi Lagui analyzed the affairs of the Yeko Kingdom.

In addition, when the plans of the secret society Qilin Dao were discovered, it was speculated that the internal strife in the Yeko Kingdom was largely related to Qilin Dao.

We are also looking for clues in this case in Netale City.

In the end, when they interrogated the corpse, they found out that the people who supported the eldest prince were a sect.

"You're showing off! You dared to kill our investigation team. You'll definitely be labeled a cult."

"My eldest prince, I'm afraid you will never be able to take the throne."

As long as the association begins to investigate the Grand Prince, whether it is the officials who support him, or other sects or powerful families.

I would also hesitate whether to continue supporting him.

After all, the royal family is nothing if they find a reason for the association.

Then, Wu Heng began to think about his future plans.

The fifth princess is here to manage this place, and with Shannara also coming, it would create an opportunity to increase her fame.

I want to tie myself together with the fifth princess as much as possible.

When the time comes, the fifth princess's joining the fight for the throne will definitely cause a sensation in the kingdom.

You can also follow and get a boost in reputation.

Thinking about it, I opened the panel and took a look.

[Level: Level 19 (347585/355000)]

[Reputation: Level 19 (9582/66000)]

You don't need to worry about the level of experience.

What's lacking is reputation.

"I'm level 19, and Granda is level 20. We have some capital now."

“We must seize this opportunity.”

……

I was thinking in my mind.

Glenda flew back through the wall from outside and glanced at the study. "Are they not back yet?"

"No, maybe he went to watch the fun." Wu Heng closed the panel and asked, "How is the city?"

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Heng released all three ghosts.

The main purpose is to check if there is any danger in the city.

After all, the level 18 boxer from the Saintly Religion escaped. He might have made a surprise attack on us. He even dared to kill the investigation team, so it is not surprising that he came back to attack two people.

There are also the disbanded troops in the city, to see if any of them are gathering together to do bad things.

"We haven't found any other high-level professionals. The city is a bit chaotic, with many gang fights. But the association is also stepping up patrols, so there won't be any major problems." Granda replied.

Wu Heng nodded and continued, "Sanara will come over from Treasure Island tomorrow and plans to acquire some real estate assets here."

"No wonder he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He's quite perceptive." Glenda praised him and then said, "Why don't you go pick her up? You'll be back in half a day."

It's about the ghost train.

"Let's come by boat. If we show up suddenly, it will easily attract the attention of the association's personnel. Whatever we do next, we may need a time difference as a cover."

Glenda thought about it and nodded, "That's right. There's plenty of time anyway. She will definitely be the first one to get the news and rush over."

While they were talking, Xiaoxiao and Benny also flew back.

"Uncle, everything is fine outside. We didn't find any high-level people." Xiao Xiaopiao said on the side of his shoulder.

"Well, that's good." Wu Heng then asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"My sister Benny and I saw a fight. It was so intense." Xiaoxiao said, waving his fist.

"Because of what?"

"It seemed to be about arresting someone or something, but I didn't quite understand."

Good man, I'm just here to watch the fun.

Because I don’t know anything.

Beni said: "I heard some things. It seems that the people who were beaten were from the forced conscription team. They forcibly took some people away. When they didn't come back, their families came over. Several families beat them. It was quite tragic."

"Oh, that's how it is." Xiao Xiao suddenly realized and then asked, "What is the forced conscription team?"

"For example, your uncle doesn't want to go to the battlefield, and then these people come and capture him, and force him to go, and beat him if he doesn't go."

"Oh, I understand." Xiaoxiao nodded.

The conscription team, after the city lord's death, these people lost their privileged status.

Now that the battle is over, it’s still okay for those who were captured and can come back alive. At most they will be cursed a few times.

But the family members who did not return will definitely come to settle accounts with them.

"Are you still fighting?" Wu Heng asked.

"No more fighting. The patrol has passed by and we'll separate." Benny said.

"Not bad." Wu Heng nodded, stretched his body, and said, "I'm going to go back and rest. The battle today consumed a lot of energy."

"Give me that skill book."

"I have a tablet, can you charge it for me?"

"Let's go! I've watched those two cartoons over and over again." Wu Heng took out all the things.

"Then find me a new one."

"Wait till you find it." Wu Heng said, then opened the door and went downstairs.

Go to the first floor.

Then she saw Philippa sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the fifth princess Brittany behind her massaging her shoulders, and a little maid kneeling on one side massaging her legs.

"Try harder, you haven't eaten!" Philippa said.

Wu Heng walked over and pinched her face, "You're bullying me, aren't you?"

"If I lose, the tavern will be theirs," said Philippa.

Brittany gritted her teeth and said, "We have to accept the loss. Philippa has indeed won. We accept it."

The two had made a bet before.

If the murderer is the city lord, then Brittany loses and will have to work as Philippa's maid for a month and be ordered around however she wants.

If the murderer was not the city lord, the Nautilus Tavern would lose to the Fifth Princess.

Although it was finally confirmed that the real murderer was the level 18 sect guardian, the city lord was indeed involved. It would be an understatement to call him an accomplice, he should be one of the masterminds.

In the end, Philippa won.

Seeing that both parties were willing to fight and be beaten, Wu Heng had no choice but to say, "Don't go too far."

Philippa shook her head, "Go, get me some water, Brittany go prepare the bath water."

"Tsk~!" Brittany made a snort and turned to go upstairs.

The little maid also went to pour her some water.

Philippa said, "How about letting me let Brittany stay with you tonight? I have the final say now."

Brittany stumbled as she was going up the stairs and nearly fell.

Wu Heng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't scare me all the time. Just kidding."

"That won't work. She really wanted me to work in the tavern. She wanted me to be her maid for a month at least," said Philippa.
