Chapter 682: Gifts from the Major Forces of Black Reef City

That female officer seemed to be a clerical staff member of the City Lord's residence.

In her thirties, with a Duanzhuang appearance, Su Yang had some impression of her.

Not all officers had to be served by Beast Tamers.

As long as one had the ability, even if not a Beast Tamer, one could still be promoted.

However, with the identity of a Beast Tamer, promotion in the military was faster!

Seeing Su Yang, that female officer also ran over.

"City Lord, my lord!"

"What is it?"

"The head of the He family of Mount Dajiao, the president of the Sitong Chamber of Commerce, the branch manager of the Pearl Grain Store, the vice leader of the Tiger Shark Mercenary Corps… they came this afternoon to pay a visit to the City Lord, my lord!" the female officer said, "But the City Lord, my lord, happened to be away. They all said they were willing to wait for the City Lord, my lord, to return, so the Vice City Lord, my lord, told me to come here and wait for the City Lord, my lord."

"All of them are major forces within Mount Dajiao?"

"Yes!" the female officer said, "They are all relatively major forces within Mount Dajiao."

If they were minor forces, they would not have the qualifications to request an audience with Su Yang at all.

"How long have they been here?"

"Around three o'clock. If they are still here, they should have been waiting for about three hours."

So much time had already passed, and the female officer did not dare to be certain whether the heads of these forces had already left.

"Then let's go take a look!"

Since they had all come, Su Yang could not possibly let them continue waiting!

Getting into the energy vehicle, Su Yang watched the streets retreating and casually asked: "Did anyone from that Zhenbao Pavilion come?"

With a king-level expert stationed there, Zhenbao Pavilion's influence within Mount Dajiao was certainly not weak.

The female officer sitting in the front row replied: "No!"

"Oh~"

Su Yang nodded noncommittally.

Those who came to visit him, Su Yang, he might not remember.

But those who did not come, he would certainly remember.

Mount Dajiao was only so big!

Sooner or later, they would run into each other.

Then, Su Yang inquired about the situation of the several major forces within Mount Dajiao.

These matters, Vice City Lord Feng had not had time to tell him yet.

The He family of Mount Dajiao was the earliest force to enter Mount Dajiao.

The first City Lord of Mount Dajiao, He Wenjie, was a member of the He family.

To establish Mount Dajiao, the He family had put in great effort.

Even now, most of the Beast Tamers awakened by the He family had joined the military.

Among the five Stellar-level Beast Tamers in the Mount Dajiao military, He Yao was a member of the He family.

In terms of the influence of the major forces on Mount Dajiao, the He family ranked just behind Zhenbao Pavilion.

The Sitong Chamber of Commerce was far inferior to Zhenbao Pavilion, but it also had some influence in Mount Dajiao.

The Pearl Grain Store simply sold grain.

In these times, grain was generally controlled by the military. Those who could do grain business all had powerful backers.

Although Mount Dajiao had the military supplying grain, other civilians were heavily dependent on grain.

The Tiger Shark Mercenary Corps was the strongest mercenary corps in Mount Dajiao.

The leader, nicknamed Tiger Shark, possessed Stellar-level strength, with over a hundred subordinates, almost all of whom were Beast Tamers.

……

Returning to the City Lord's residence, Su Yang found that the heads of these forces were all still there, chatting in the waiting hall.

They were giving Su Yang face.

The moment they saw Su Yang, they all stood up and came to greet him.

After seeing this group off, Su Yang sat on the office sofa analyzing the situation of Mount Dajiao.

Liu Mengyun pointed at the gifts on the coffee table and asked: "Lieutenant Colonel, where should these gifts be placed?"

These were all He Li sent by those forces, and Su Yang accepted them all.

Originally Su Yang did not want to accept them, but they all said they were just small gifts.

Seeing how resolute they were in giving gifts, Su Yang could only reluctantly accept them.

If he did not accept, he was afraid they would feel uncomfortable.

Of course, if in the future they fell into his hands, Su Yang would still deal with them according to law…

At most, he would go a little easier on them!

"Open them and take a look, see if there's anything useful!"

When the gifts were opened, the He family had sent a gunpowder pistol, an antique with three hundred years of history, along with a few rounds of ammunition.

Su Yang found it very interesting.

The Sitong Chamber of Commerce sent a golden VIP card of the Dajiao Restaurant, though it was unknown how much of a discount it could offer.

The people from the Pearl Grain Store sent a bag of one hundred kilograms of Snow Cloud Pearl Rice.

Snow Cloud Pearl Rice was a specialty of the southeast region.

Although it was called Pearl Rice, it was not actually real rice, only resembling it in shape and being precious.

It was the kernel left after shelling the seeds of a Gold-level plant-type pet beast.

They say it's very delicious once cooked.

In any case, Su Yang had never tasted it.

"Oh, this is…"

Su Yang suddenly heard Liu Mengyun's exclamation.

He looked at Liu Mengyun in surprise.

Her reaction seemed a bit excessive.

"What's wrong?"

"This looks like Jade-Patterned Pearl Powder!"

In Liu Mengyun's hand was a delicate little box the size of a palm.

Inside the box was all fine powder.

"Jade-Patterned Pearl Powder — what is that?"
