Qiong Wu opened the door and saw an old man standing outside. He had silver hair and a thin body. It seemed as if the heat of the Scavenger City had drained all the moisture from him. His face was wrinkled and covered with wrinkles.
This is Qiongwu's butler, one of the few people in this house. In fact, the butler is about the same age as Qiongwu. Qiongwu saved him from a group of refugees.
Over the next forty years, the butler had been following him, silently witnessing Qiong Wu's rise from an unknown person to the leader of one of the five major organizations in the Wasteland City today.
In Qiong Wu's heart, the butler is someone who can be trusted, of course, the trust is limited.
After forty years of experience, Qiong Wu would only trust himself and never truly and completely trust others.
"Mr. Luther is here. He wants to report to you some problems in the organization during this period." The butler said in a low voice. He is not young anymore, but just an ordinary person. It is quite rare for him to survive in the Scavenger City for so long.
He was too old to speak loudly anymore, and if he had another owner, he would have been thrown out like a stray dog.
He was content to continue serving Qiong Wu, and he maintained the habit he had developed over the past forty years, always bowing to the man in front of him.
Qiong Wu nodded and picked up the "Blood Drinker" casually. It was his habit to carry weapons wherever he went, even when he slept.
They first walked in the quiet and narrow corridor. As the leader of the Blood City, Qiongwu's house had nothing to do with luxury. Even with his ability, he could live in a better place.
In fact, before he became Rank 7, he did live in a rather luxurious house with dozens of servants.
But after being promoted to Rank 7, he saw a completely different world. After seeing the scenery of that world, all worldly things were no longer in Qiong Wu's sight.
Now he only sees higher mountains and wants to see the magnificent scenery. He puts all the resources at his disposal into the pursuit of power, using every bit of resources to build stone steps to heaven.
He reduced material enjoyment to a minimum. Firstly, he no longer had much pursuit in this regard, and secondly, he wanted to squeeze out every drop of resources he could.
He used those things to purchase the materials needed for sublimation media, and spent at least half of each year in the adverse worlds of fortresses in various places to improve his sublimation progress and hone his combat skills.
If Blood City had not brought him considerable profits every year, he would have left Scavenger City long ago. Of course, he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for what he had done.
In Qiongwu's world, the weak are the cornerstones used by the strong to step on. Even though countless families are broken up every year because of him, he would not think that he is doing anything wrong.
At his age and level, his beliefs have become stronger than steel and will not be easily shaken.
And this is not about right or wrong.
Pushing open the door, Qiong Wu walked into the restaurant and saw Deputy Commander Luther who looked a little uneasy.
In fact, Qiong Wu prefers another deputy commander. Jin Sheng's actions are more to his liking. Luther, a native of Western Land, always seems timid in many things.
But Luther has his own advantages. He is quite talented in business and is good at dealing with various forces. After being promoted to level 7, Qiongwu rarely asked about Blood City. The work in the organization was usually arranged by Luther and Jinsheng.
With Luther in charge of the interior and Jin Sheng in charge of the exterior, everything seemed in good order.
pity.
Jin Sheng died not long ago for the "God's legacy" in Deep Sea Castle that no one knew whether it existed or not.
That was one of Qiong Wu's goals. As long as it could increase his strength, he would investigate it no matter how unreal it was.
He was indeed surprised that Jin Sheng, his right-hand man, died in Donglu.
Seeing Qiong Wu appear, Luther quickly stood up, greeted him, and then sat down with some fear.
After being held hostage by the Thunder Council yesterday, he had no choice but to give out Qiong Wu's information. Today, in addition to reporting on the organization's affairs, he also came here to see if the leader was in trouble.
Now that he saw that Qiongwu was fine, Luther felt conflicted, as if he was relieved yet unwilling.
He felt relieved to see that Qiong Wu was safe and sound, and had not suffered any damage as a result of his "confession".
The reason he was unwilling was also because Qiong Wu was still alive, otherwise, Blood City would be his in the future.
Qiong Wu sat at the head of the dining table with the Blood Drink placed at his feet. A chef and his assistant came in with a dining cart and placed the food on the table one by one.
The appetizer was a fried fish that looked ordinary, but in the desert and in the scavenger city, not everyone could eat fish. Moreover, this fish was still alive and kicking before being put into the pot, which made it even more valuable.
Qiong Wu picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of fried fish, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and felt the pleasure that the food brought him.
While listening to Luther's report.
Soon only a fish bone was left of the fried fish, and the butler brought him a roasted chicken and poured him a glass of golden wine.
Qiong Wu first took a sip of wine, and then cut the roast chicken into many pieces, each piece was about the same size.
Just like that, after Qiong Wu finished every dish on the table, Luther's report was just completed.
Qiong Wu, who had been wiping his mouth with a napkin and had not spoken a word, said in a calm tone: "Your heartbeat is one third faster than usual. You are very nervous. What's going on?"
Luther swallowed and lowered his head, saying, "This quarter, our revenue has decreased by 20%. I am very worried, so..."
"Don't worry, I won't punish you, but next quarter, you have to find a way to increase your income."
"Yes, then, I'll take my leave?"
"Go ahead."
After Luther left, the old butler whispered, "The deputy commander arrived at the Moon Tower about 40 minutes later than usual last night, but he left at the same time as usual."
Qiong Wu glanced at him and said calmly, "It's okay."
He stood up, picked up the Blood Drink, and walked towards the study.
A moment later, he pushed open the door of the study and suddenly saw that the safe in the corner had been cut open and the things inside had disappeared.
moment.
A murderous aura erupted in the room, and everyone in the room, including the old butler, fainted the moment they were exposed to the murderous aura.
Then, Qiong Wu heard a voice saying, "I never thought that the War Church is actually related to a human trafficking organization. They buy a lot of slaves from you every year. What do they want so many slaves for?"
The voice came from the window of the study room. Qiong Wu tightened his Blood Drink and did not dare to take it lightly.
This person was able to attract my attention only after he spoke. Whether it was strength or ability, he was extraordinary!
Qiong Wu slowly turned around and looked, and said slowly: "There are many uses. Exploring the Reverse Realm requires a large number of manpower, and building a base dedicated to the church in the Reverse Realm also requires manpower."
"Besides, the Church of War sends a large number of soldiers to the Adversity every year, and a large number of soldiers are sacrificed every year. They always need to be replenished. And some dangerous tasks need people to complete them. With so many manpower gaps, how could they not want slaves?"
Qiong Wu finally saw the man.
The other person looked very young, only 20 years old at most, with silver hair, lively eyes, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. He seemed to have no idea where he had broken into.
In his hand was an open electronic board, which contained detailed records and information exchanges between the "Blood City" and the church.
Seeing this person, some information flashed through Qiong Wu's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you the newly recruited member of the Thunder Council?"
Qiong Wu was not wrong. The person holding the electronic board at this moment was Tianyang.
After finding a suitable battlefield in the Reverse Realm, he returned to the Scavenger City, sneaked into the house while Qiongwu was having a meal, opened his safe, and took the electronic board.
Of course, Tian Yang didn't know beforehand that there were such important things hidden in the safe. He was only looking for a "bait" at first.
Unexpectedly, they discovered the dirty deal between the War Church and the Blood City.
"It's a bit surprising that the War Church, one of the four major churches, would actually engage in slave trade. If this information were to spread out, wouldn't it cause an uproar?"
Tianyang shook the electronic board in his hand and said with a smile that he believed that this was a heavyweight "bait" that would facilitate his next action.
"If you spread it, do you think you can still survive?" Qiong Wu stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me, I can help you gain a foothold in the Thunder Council, and even help you eliminate one or two enemies."
"For example, Lin Qianfan."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "You are so generous. I appreciate your kindness. It's just a Thunder Council. It's just a place where I stay temporarily."
"If I want to gain a foothold here, I can do it on my own without relying on the help of others."
Qiong Wu laughed instead of getting angry: "You are quite arrogant. You look down on the Thunder Council. You don't want to be a member of the Golden Council, do you?"
Tian Yang raised his lips and said lightly, "Why not? I am still young and I still have countless opportunities. Give me a few more years, and I think it won't be that difficult to get a seat in the Golden Court."
Qiong Wu was stunned. He didn't expect that this young congressman had such great ambitions.
He quickly adjusted his mood and chuckled: "I don't want to ruin your sweet dream, but if you don't put down that electronic board, I think you may not even see the sun tomorrow."
"Yeah?"
Tianyang put away the electronic board and said with a smile: "Let's make a deal."
Hearing that Tianyang wanted to make a deal, Qiongwu relaxed. He nodded and said, "You should have done this earlier. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Give me an arm and disband the Blood City, and I will return the electronic board to you." Tianyang said without hesitation, as if he was proposing a very easy and simple condition.
Qiong Wu's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "You're looking for death!"
