Chapter 288: Rob

"Dusk Society... people of the Dusk Society, how could they appear here?"

Inside the luxury suite of the hotel, the president of the Silver Moon Merchant Association saw the situation outside through the Glass. His complexion instantly had some worry. He stood up beginning to pace back and forth in the room.

The president of the Cold Spring Merchant Association at the side was similarly restless,

"President Yan, I exactly said doing it this way would have accidents happen... The Enforcers side is actually a small matter, after all they are all people restricted by order, as long as we win them over, it won't to the extent of making a scene too ugly... but, but the Dusk Society people are exactly a group of lunatics ah?"

"Yes ah President Yan, this [Six of Spades] is absolutely not to be trifled with. By rights an existence of this level, shouldn't come care about our kind of tacky matters..."

"Is it that matter of your Stars Chamber of Commerce impersonating him before, making him hold a grudge? This time specifically coming to pull the rug out?"

"Right right right... I heard this group of lunatics from the Dusk Society hold grudges the most, estimating it's exactly aiming for your Stars Chamber of Commerce!"

The two presidents of the Silver Moon and Cold Spring Merchant Associations pondered more and more feeling it was this principle, rapidly beginning to push the blame onto Yan Shang's body, and then beginning to persuade Yan Shang to stop in time. After all, the money they earned now was already an astronomical figure. The three families splitting it a bit, was already enough for them to go to another Realm to establish a firm foothold.

Of course, because [Six of Spades] was attracted by the Stars Chamber of Commerce, so what the other two merchant associations split, naturally had to be a bit more...

Yan Shang sat on the European-style sofa in the very center, coldly looking at the blankly confused and panicking residents below. One sentence directly blocking dead the other two presidents who each harbored ulterior motives.

"Remember! That you guys can earn money now, is all because of me!" Yan Shang grimly spoke. "Don't play petty tricks on me, otherwise I will make it so not a single one of you can leave the Aurora City!"

Under Yan Shang's threat, the two presidents instantly didn't utter a sound. They recalled that group of experts beside Yan Shang, only able to silently sit back to their original seats.

"But... do we really still have to continue selling?"

"Why not sell? Do you know how much money we have entering our accounts every minute now? [Six of Spades] has already been chased away, we have no reason to stop... continue selling!" Yan Shang paused for a moment. "Additionally, let the people below transfer the first batch of funds over first."

Along with a merchant association member behind nodding and leaving, the suite once again fell into a patch of quietness.

Right at this time, the president of the Silver Moon Merchant Association seemed to have discovered something, lightly exclaiming:

"Wait... that vehicle [Six of Spades] drove out just now... seems to not be quite right?"

Yan Shang's brows raised up. Following the direction the Silver Moon president said to look over, only seeing amidst the densely packed crowd on the Century Avenue, a massive truck was currently quietly stopped in the center of the crowd. At this moment along with a burst of light wind blowing past, the Fabric covering the truck was lifted up a corner.

"That is..." Yan Shang's pupils slightly shrank.

"Coal??" The Cold Spring Merchant Association president abruptly stood up. "He stole the Coal out from inside the factory??!!"

...

"Coal!!! It's Coal!!!"

"A full entire vehicle of Coal??!! Heavens, how many tons must this be??!!"

"It was driven out by that [Six of Spades]... was he intentional, or unintentional??"

"Who cares about him!! Having these Coal, we then have salvation!!"

"..."

The instant the Fabric covered on the truck fell down, the crowd immediately caused a sensation. Those residents who were still excluded on the outside due to not scraping together enough money, as well as the people who were currently bitterly lining up waiting to buy sky-high priced Coal, at this moment all swarmed charging towards that truck!

The Maternal Uncle stood at the edge of the crowd, blankly staring at that group of figures who reignited the fire of hope, shouting and wildly rejoicing charging towards the truck, his expression somewhat entranced...

One person, one truck, rewrote the destinies of everyone here.

"Little Jian..." The Maternal Uncle muttered to himself.

He didn't expect, that Little Jian who once depended on the Stars Chamber of Commerce, being bullied since young until growing up, that child sensible to the point of making people feel heartache, unexpectedly underwent such a massive change... He didn't know exactly what Little Jian experienced, but this process, was definitely full of difficulties and bitterness.

"Little Jian, you absolutely cannot have matters ah..."

At the same time,

the Boiler Factory doorway that originally still had people squeezing people, instantly became a patch of emptiness. The merchant association members who were just preparing to continue collecting money were directly dumbfounded.

"What situation?"

"[Six of Spades] stole coal?"

"Can this still be called stealing? It's both smashing doors and also killing people! This of his is clearly exactly robbing ah!!"

"He robbed away all the Coal, how do we still sell for money?"

"Quickly! Send people over to drive that vehicle back! Cannot let them rob anymore!!"

The persons-in-charge of the Three Great Merchant Associations gave an order. Several tens of people immediately carried sticks, clubs, blades and spears charging towards the crowd, intimidating on one side while tearing open a gap in the crowd on the other side, shifting bit by bit towards the direction of the truck.

However the people surrounding beside the truck now were truly too many. Even if they already squeezed inwards with all their strength, it was also very hard to go deep. Adding on that the Squinting Man wasn't here now, without deterrence, the residents forced into desperate straits fundamentally weren't afraid of them.

Without Coal, everyone would have to be frozen to death... Since horizontally or vertically is still death, still afraid of your sticks, clubs, blades and spears?

Right when the merchant association crowd watched the Coal being looted, gnashing their teeth, a massive black shadow leaped down from the top floor of the hotel at the side, his figure resembling a meteorite with a boom smashing down towards the center of the crowd!

Thud——!!!

That figure precisely smashed on top of the truck's front. The terrifying shockwave directly overturned the crowd standing on the Coal behind the truck, spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood plunging down.

That was a giant over three meters tall. A pair of bare feet forcefully stepped the hard truck front into a pile of mush like it was paper-pasted. The shattered metal parts splashed towards the surroundings resembling a shotgun. The innocent residents closest to the truck were directly shot, fresh blood flowing falling to the ground on the spot!

This unexpected sudden change, directly scared silly the residents who came to rob coal. They fearfully stood around the truck, their complexions deathly pale!

Along with the appearance of this giant, the scene was immediately brought under control. The crowd of the Three Great Merchant Associations had a joyful complexion, immediately taking the opportunity to arrive around the truck, holding sticks, clubs, blades and spears pointing at these residents.

"Rob ah?!"

"Aren't you guys capable of robbing? Have the ability then continue robbing ah?!"

"Can you guys rob past him?!"

Of course they recognized this esteemed giant. This was one of the capable people beside the Stars Chamber of Commerce president Yan Shang. It was said to be an expert of the Path of Force. One punch could make the earth crumble, buildings collapse, entire body vajra-indestructible... It was said even if remaining completely motionless, could rely on Telekinesis to press the surrounding humans into meat mush!

The giant's body with an extreme sense of oppression, just stood like this on top of the truck scrap iron. A pair of empty eyes seemed as if hand-drawn on. Although sluggish and lacking Spirituality, but cooperating with the terrifying physical body, was still enough to awe and deter everyone around.

Under the cold sneers of the merchant association crowd, not a single one of the surrounding residents dared to move recklessly. But right at this time, a figure yet slowly and unnoticeably, shifted from the crowd towards here.

That person's head was wrapped in Fabric, fundamentally unable to see his facial appearance clearly, not even a trace of skin was exposed outside...

He walked out from the fearful crowd, standing in front of the merchant association crowd and that esteemed giant, quiet like a dead silent volcano right before a thorough eruption.

"It's exactly you guys... right?"
