Chapter 2743: Blackmailing the City Lord

Huo Tingan hurriedly gave Qiao Yu a look, asking Qiao Yu to speak for him.

"City Lord, I don't think this is a matter for polite words."

"You'd better discuss directly how many resources the compensation should be!"

Qiao Yu suggested.

"But how am I supposed to say it?"

"If I say it and he refuses, I'd be charged with bribing an officer!"

Huo Tingan still wanted Qiao Yu to speak up.

That way, even if any issue arises, he can get out of it.

"Alright then!"

Qiao Yu had no choice but to agree, pretending to communicate with Ye Liuyun via Transmission Voice.

"Hmm, then it's up to me to decide!"

Ye Liuyun pretended to reply, then fell silent.

"What should I say?"

Huo Tingan quickly asked Qiao Yu.

"I tentatively asked him whether the reported content was all at his discretion."

"Whether some trivial matters could be left unreported."

"His answer definitely leaves you a way out."

"Sir, hurry up!"

Qiao Yu replied.

"Then how many resources should I take?"

Huo Tingan asked.

"At this point, what more are you still considering?"

"Of course you take as much as you can! Resources can be earned again, but if you and your whole family's lives are gone, what's the use of resources!"

Qiao Yu urged, "For someone of this stature, even one chance is good. If you can't seize it, you're truly finished! If you take too little, will he even notice?"

"Fine!"

Huo Tingan was panicking at this moment.

He extracted all the Primordial Power from his Space World, placed it into a Storage Ring, and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

He added, "This is just a small token from us; we hope you can offer a few kind words later, Sir!"

Ye Liuyun glanced over, shocked, realizing it was the Primordial Power of tens of thousands of whole worlds.

"My god! Are the City Lords here really this rich?"

Ye Liuyun felt ecstatic inside, but outwardly weighed the Storage Ring calmly, then placed it on the table.

"Sigh, I'll do my best!"

Saying that, he closed his eyes as if resting.

"Less! This is the Inspector's complaint that it's insufficient!"

Qiao Yu hurriedly said to Huo Tingan.

Huo Tingan, hearing that, was about to cry: "That's all I have, I've given it all to him."

"Go borrow quickly! I think the Inspector only finds it insufficient, but hasn't refused."

"You should at least borrow double the resources; that should be enough!"

Qiao Yu offered Huo Tingan a suggestion.

Huo Tingan swallowed.

"You still need that much?"

But he still agreed, telling Qiao Yu to stay with Ye Liuyun while he went to borrow immediately.

Then he said to Ye Liuyun, "Inspector Ye, wait a moment, I'll go hurry the dishes!"

"Hmm!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, indicating he could leave.

After Huo Tingan left, he immediately ran to the neighboring major powers.

He didn't give a reason, just said it was urgent, and together with several families gathered another ten thousand units of Primordial Power and sent them to Ye Liuyun.

By then Ye Liuyun had already started eating and hadn't waited for him at all.

Seeing the Storage Ring Huo Tingan handed over this time, he looked at it before collecting both Storage Rings.

Later he instructed Huo Tingan: "Since Huo City Lord has spent so lavishly, I'll give you a hand."

"Remember, I only tracked the thief here, asked you for reinforcement, and you allocated some manpower to me."

"If you manage to catch that thief, you might even receive some reward from the Empire!"

"Thank you, Inspector Ye!"

Huo Tingan still had to express gratitude, but his heart was bleeding.

He didn't know when he could repay all this borrowed Primordial Power.

Ye Liuyun also immediately prepared to leave Jing'an City.

"That's it then, have your troops arrived yet? I'm afraid if we delay too long, we won't catch that thief!"

"The troops are all here."

"Very well, then I won't keep Inspector Ye waiting."

"Hope you can successfully catch that thief!"

Huo Ting'an also felt as if a weight had been lifted, thinking that this plague god was finally about to leave.

"I borrow your good words!"

Ye Liuyun also replied politely, and immediately had Qiao Yu lead the group, launch a Flying Boat, and leave the city together.

When the Flying Boat left the city, Ye Liuyun casually pointed to a direction and told Qiao Yu to chase after it.

Then, under the pretext of assigning tasks, he called each Martial Cultivator into his own cabin one by one and planted a Slave Seal on each.

After dealing with all the Martial Cultivators, his clothes reverted to a Mercenary outfit, and he distributed the Mercenary attire he had stolen from the Chamber of Commerce to everyone, having them change into a Mercenary force.

He then had Qiao Yu switch to another Flying Boat, not the official one.

"Hahaha, this haul is truly huge! How is the City Lord here so rich?"

After finishing all that, Ye Liuyun thought about celebrating and asked Qiao Yu and the other Martial Cultivator experts.

"Master, half of these resources were looted by mercenary corps.

The other half were extorted by those major powers."

Qiao Yu replied.

"Oh?

Resources looted by the mercenary corps go to the City Lord?"

Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Of course. Without the City Lord's cooperation, how could they loot so many resources?

Moreover, they hand over not just half but seventy percent to the City Lord; they can keep only thirty percent!"

Qiao Yu explained.

"I see.

What about the other major powers?"

Ye Liuyun continued to ask the others.

"They are the masterminds behind those mercenary corps!"

Another Martial Cultivator who is a Sixfold Sovereign replied.

"No wonder! You really are a harmonious bunch!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, feeling that trapping these people was indeed the right move.

According to those experts, every city on this planet is the same, and the entire Xing Xi shares this situation.

The City Lord deliberately drives citizens out of the city with high prices, then has mercenary corps rob the populace for huge profit.

The superior environment inside the city is offered only to certain major powers, who can also earn extra land fees and protection fees.

Ye Liuyun then thought and decided to establish his own mercenary corps, naming it the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps, dedicated to robbing other mercenary corps.

And to start from this planet.

He first circled the Xingkong, experiencing the void traversal of the Flying Boat here, while committing the locations of each city to memory, then began plotting a route for the Flying Boat to land.

After they landed, they immediately fought the local mercenary corps.

Because they had many experts, they quickly wiped out seven or eight local mercenary corps, becoming the largest mercenary force.

Of course, the local City Lord also sent people to negotiate with Ye Liuyun; if Ye Liuyun did not align with the Chengzhu Fu, they would dispatch troops to annihilate them.

Ye Liuyun ignored them, instead continuing to bring the thief cat into the city, stealing extensively, then impersonating an inspection envoy to extort the City Lord.

After a few months, the mercenary corps here had all become Ye Liuyun's subordinates.

And the resources of each City Lord and the Chamber of Commerce also ended up in Ye Liuyun's hands.
