Those nobles wouldn't just stand by and watch the people from Shangqiu enter the magical city of Crobel so easily. They would definitely send representatives of the nobles to contact the people from Shangqiu in order to protect the interests of the nobles in Crobel!

Given the aristocracy's insatiable appetite, they will certainly make exorbitant demands, and the people of Shangqiu are not so easy to deal with either. The two sides are bound to produce some very interesting sparks.

"Understood, sir!"

Meanwhile, in the Republic of Kalva.

Wuxiang is reporting her trip to Shangqiu to President Samuel Locksmith of the Republic of Calva.

Bald Samuel pondered the words of the Shangqiu people. As an old riddle solver, Samuel tried to find the true intentions of the Shangqiu people in the information brought back by Wuxiang.

Wuxiang sat quietly on the other side of the desk, patiently waiting for Samuel to sort out his thoughts.

Compared to the Rebonian Empire, the Republic of Calva is closer to Shangqiu, which undoubtedly leads to more frequent contact between the two sides, which is not a good thing!

The biggest conflict between the two sides is the maritime conflict between Shangqiu and the Republic of Kalva.

As more and more cargo ships from various countries enter and leave Shangqiu, the gold sea route will also be established. A large number of Mira will pour into Shangqiu from the sea. Some people will definitely be restless. With such huge profits in front of them, it is inevitable that some people will take risks, and even some pirate groups disguised as pirates will appear!

Secondly, the weapons from Shangqiu can now be fired into the territory of the Republic of Kalva, especially those unknown weapons with long range and great power, which are like the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads.

Unless the Republic of Kalva takes equitable countermeasures, it will be in a strategically passive position!

The influx of people from Shangqiu into Kroboran has actually had the least impact on the Republic of Calva. After all, doing business... it doesn't matter who you do it with!

Aren't there enough compradors in the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva?

Making money on your knees? Aren't you ashamed?

And so, some people want to do it but don't even have the connections!

Five minutes later, Samuel looked up at Wuxiang:

"Director Wuxiang, what are your thoughts on the city of Shangqiu?"

Kirika recalled what she had seen and heard in Shangqiu, and replied with a serious expression, "Very powerful. Their military strength can be glimpsed from the destruction of the cult's branch, but what impressed me most was their factory. I visited their factory, and the scale of industry there terrified me..."

"...I believe their industrial strength is greater than that of our old rival, the Rebonian Empire!"

"Is this only their apparent strength?"

Samuel frowned. This was not good news for the Republic of Calva. With such a powerful force bordering the Republic of Calva, the Republic of Calva would not only have to guard against the Rebonian Empire, but also against the Shangqiu people.

"Director Wuxiang, I hope you can make a trip to Krobel."

Chapter 44 Three Years and Three More (Bonus Chapter 1)

As night fell, Klopp gradually shed his daytime glamour, revealing his darker side.

The back alleys of Krobel are the city's dark side, home to gangsters and intelligence agents from various countries, including the cult.

boom!

The door of a bar was violently pushed open, and a group of people dressed in Zhongshan suits, with their backs straight, walked into the bar.

After Chan Ho-nam stepped forward, the man in the Zhongshan suit behind him stood still like a sculpture. Immediately, some of the people in the bar who were looking for fun quickly left the bar.

"Chan Ho-nam! What do you mean? This bar is under the jurisdiction of our Sword Snake Gang. What are you Hung Hing doing here? Get back..."

Before the thug could finish speaking, Chen Haonan grabbed him by the neck and cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

"Is that so? But from this day forward, this bar belongs to Hongxing (Red Star). If you don't say anything, I'll assume you've agreed..."

Chan Ho-nam pinched the thug's mouth shut so tightly that he could only make muffled sounds.

"Waaaaah..."

"Very good, this place now belongs to us."

Upon hearing this, the thugs from the Sword Snake Gang in the bar exchanged glances and immediately grabbed their sticks and rushed towards Chen Haonan.

"Humph!"

Chan Ho-nam choked the thug in his hand unconscious, then waved his hand. His men, dressed in Zhongshan suits and led by Chicken, drew their batons and charged forward in groups of three.

Both sides tacitly refrained from using sharp weapons or firearms, as using such weapons would attract the attention of the police in Kizilsu and cause unnecessary trouble.

Compared to the well-trained men in Zhongshan suits, the Sword Snake Gang's thugs were no match. Whenever one of them swung a stick at them, one of the men in black would block it with his baton, and then the other two would swing their batons at him.

The thug had never seen this kind of fighting tactic before, and was quickly taken down by the well-trained man in the Zhongshan suit, lying on the ground clutching his wounds and howling in pain.

"throw it out!"

Chan Ho-nam waved his hand, signaling to throw all the thugs lying haphazardly on the ground out.

Silently, the man in the Zhongshan suit lifted the thugs off the ground and threw them out of the bar one by one. Meanwhile, the bar owner watched Chen Haonan approach with some trepidation.

I recently heard that a triad gang from Shangqiu has infiltrated Krober and is rapidly establishing itself in the back alleys.

It's not that gangs didn't try to cause trouble for Red Star, but without exception, those who did were knocked unconscious and left on the street...

If that were all, he could be classified as a brute, but Hung Hing was also very shrewd in his schemes. He was skilled at forming alliances and counter-alliances, suppressing some gangs, dividing some gangs, and then winning over some gangs. He quickly dismantled some local gangs and also recruited a lot of henchmen.

The henchmen under Hung Hing not only had to be managed in a military style, taught knowledge and culture, and taught a skill, but also received ideological education... Some petty thugs, after joining Hung Hing, seemed to undergo a fusion reaction, transforming into resolute men.

The boss didn't believe it before, but now he does... After all, the Sword Serpent Gang is a small to medium-sized gang in the area, and now they've lost 40% of their territory!

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people..." Chen Haonan walked up to the bar owner, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a friendly smile: "...Just run your business as usual, we won't interfere with your daily operations, we'll just collect some business tax!"

The bar owner nodded frantically until Chan Ho-nam and his men in Zhongshan suits walked out, then realized something was wrong... Why were the triads collecting business tax?

Just then, the sound of a hammer hitting nails came from outside the door, and a black rabbit logo was nailed to the bar's signboard, signifying that the bar was under the protection of the Red Star.

Li Haonan stood at the entrance of the bar and saw the thugs who had been thrown out earlier helping each other to their feet, staring at Hongxing's father, who was smoking, with a mixture of shock and fear.

"You wait, our boss won't let you get away with this!"

"Heh~"

After giving a stern look, Chan Ho-nam glared at the thugs at the door and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get out of here!"

Immediately, the thugs of the Sword Snake Gang scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing hastily into the back alley.

"Let's go back to headquarters!"

Chen Haonan led the men in Zhongshan suits toward the headquarters of Hung Hing. The thugs around them immediately made way. As they passed an intersection, a memory card containing information silently fell to the ground.

After the people from Hongxing left, a man dressed as a merchant from Shangqiu picked up the memory card from the ground while tying his shoelaces.

This can be considered part of the rabbit's preparations. Investing in such an important place as Krobel is not only about collecting information from the public, but also about understanding the black market. This way, they can quickly and accurately resolve some unnecessary troubles and, incidentally, catch the fish out of the pond!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

In the headquarters in Shangqiu, Stans looked at Chen Haonan, who had returned victorious, and applauded.

After the cult developed a criminal organization in Shangqiu, the cult's leaders learned from the newspapers that Shangqiu would be expanding into Krobel. They couldn't help but hatch some schemes to teach Shangqiu a lesson in Krobel.

Thus, Stans, along with Chan Ho-nam and Chicken, who had established a triad in Shangqiu, came into the cult's sights and were sent to Krobel to establish an underground organization.

"Impressive, Chan Ho-nam! You truly deserve to be called someone who can make a name for himself in a place like Shangqiu. With your help, the Order has already established a firm foothold in the shadows of Crobel..."

In response to Stans's praise, Chan Ho-nam glanced at him.

"You should think about how to deal with the cops in Kezhou first; they've already got their eyes on me!"

"Don't worry, the cops in Kezhou are nothing to fear. Although they are called cops, they are just cops."

Stans said mysteriously, "Kexue is not Shangqiu. The cops here are not very effective. The cult's agents in Kexue can easily deal with them."

Chen Haonan snorted and sat on the sofa, crossing his legs: "Stans, when are you going to take me to meet the big shot you mentioned? We've already established our territory here. If the cult's backers don't welcome us, then we'll have to find other backers... like Senator Hart!"

"Be patient, my friend! Don't rush, the big shot still needs to observe you a bit more!" Stans, with his slicked-back hair, fiddled with a ZPPO lighter made in Shangqiu, making a clinking sound.

"But won't there be problems in Shangqiu now that you've left?"

"Don't worry, Boss Huang will arrange everything perfectly. Truth will be continuously sent into Shangqiu, and one day a wonderful reaction will occur."

Chapter 45 Infernal Affairs (Razor Blade Pays Off Debt 2)

Mary looked at Ellie sitting opposite her strangely. Ellie's usually neatly combed silver-gray hair was a little messy today, and she had some dark circles under her eyes.

"Ellie, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's all because of those thugs..."

Ellie took a sip of coffee, the sour taste jolting her listless spirits and making her feel somewhat refreshed: "...Yesterday, another thug's hideout was raided by Hongxing. Many of the injured were left unattended, so we had to send them to the hospital!"

"Hongxing?" Mary paused, then asked uncertainly, "That gang of thugs from Shangqiu? I never imagined there would be gangs in Shangqiu..."

Now, Krober's newspapers only do one thing: hype up Shangqiu, hype up Shangqiu, and hype up Shangqiu... especially those reporters who have been to Shangqiu, who wish they could immigrate there immediately.

The newspaper reports became increasingly outrageous, even criticizing the systems of the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva, including the system in which the mayor and speaker of the council of Krobel jointly governed.

The Rebonian Empire is a poisonous vegetable, the Karva Republic is administratively inefficient, and Krobel is severely divided... If you want to learn a system, learn from Shangqiu; Shangqiu's system is correct!

In the eyes of these reporters, anything that is associated with Shangqiu's physical condition is considered advanced and full of hope!

In addition, the newspaper also published articles about the lives of some migrant workers in Shangqiu.

Bright living conditions, clean drinking water, and a vibrant life!

After all the hype, the hardest thing to get now is the Shangqiu Red Card. Unless you're an exceptionally talented person, the only way for an average person to get one is to farm in that promising land. Shangqiu will provide all the necessary conditions, and all you have to do is farm. After 10 years, you'll get the Red Card!

Another option is to join an infrastructure company in Shangqiu, starting from mortar work... After five years, you can get a red card (a type of work permit), and after fifteen years, you can get a Shangqiu household registration.

“Mary, do you know…” The black bow behind Ellie’s head drooped limply: “…Thanks to these Shangqiu people, our support department has had far fewer troubles lately. The thugs have all behaved themselves and have even started doing charity work on the streets.”

"Huh? A charity event!"

Mary's eyes widened. Although she, as the heiress of IBC, had never dealt with petty thugs, she knew they would never do charity work...

The Rubacher Company, a top-tier force in the underworld of Krobel, is headquartered in a back alley and boasts numerous subordinates. In terms of organization, it completely overwhelms other gangs.

Chairman Marconi is a man of immense influence and influence; even the police in Krober dare not provoke the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce.

Click~ Chairman Marconi lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled, the gray smoke filling the room.

"Have those guys from Shangqiu been quite active lately?"

Garcia, the president's assistant and bodyguard, nodded.

"They recently drove the Sword Serpent Gang out of the back alleys, and the Sword Serpent Gang has temporarily retreated to the old city. If the Sword Serpent Gang can't get their revenge..."

Garcia didn't say much more after that, but if a gang is targeted and the leader doesn't have any countermeasures, then the gang can be said to be completely finished... After all, morale is low and the team can't be led.
