Chapter 598 - 598: Thief!
“No!”
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang suddenly opened his eyes in surprise. He had not expected the mission to be completed so easily. An Lan had joined the Chen family not too long ago, yet Chen Kun was already one of the candidates?
It seemed that Chen Kun had done a good job convincing that guest elder.
Thinking this, Wang Mang’s mood improved further. An easy mission accomplishment was always a good thing.
Not bad, not bad at all!
If there were such easy missions, Wang Mang wished to have them by the dozen.
“Now, I just need to arrange for someone to collect my share of the sales from the stall, while continuing to collect profits from the East Gate’s entrance fees.”
“If things go according to plan, 1 should be able to evolve several times again.”
Wang Mang chuckled. He would be even closer to Tier 5 after this. He happily called out, “Anur!”
Anur was the old servant of the mansion who had been controlled by Wang Mang last time. He was now completely loyal and obedient to Wang Mang. Incidentally, he was rather intelligent and astute.
After entering the courtyard, the old servant carefully asked, “1 am here, Milord. What orders do you have for me?”
“Anur, make a trip to the rear entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy for me and seek out the Dog Emperor and Black Bear Emperor among the pill stalls.”
“Tell them to hand over the portion of the immortal stones that belong to me. If they don’t trust you, bring them to Qingmu City.”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the old servant immediately cupped his hands respectfully and said, “I hear and obey!”
With that, the old servant respectfully left the courtyard and rushed toward Sacred Emperor Academy.
Wang Mang slowly got up from his chair and walked out of the mansion. He was in a good mood, so he decided to personally collect the entrance fees for the East Gate. Thus, he headed there.
When he arrived at the East Gate campsite, he immediately sought out the Golden Gate General and the Silver Gate General.
When Wang Mang walked in, the generals immediately stood up in shock and cupped their hands.
“Greetings, East Gate General.”
Wang Mang nodded and asked indifferently, “How are things? It’s been half a month. How many immortal stones have you collected?”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two generals started sweating profusely. They lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, Wang Mang frowned, and his face darkened.
“I’m asking you a question. How many immortal stones did we collect in the past half a month?”
“About this…” the generals looked terrified and stammered. They wanted to say something, but they did not know how to say it.
Wang Mang’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he said coldly, “I’ll give you one more chance. Answer my question honestly, or you won’t be alive much longer!”
Hearing Wang Mang’s murderous words, the two of them trembled. After exchanging a glance, they said in fear, “General, this is what happened.”
“Just two days ago, the son of the Vice-City Lord took away all the city entrance fees that we had accumulated over the past half a month.”
“He also said that we should give him all of the entrance fees in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang flew into a rage and slapped them, which sent them flying backward, screaming in pain.
The two of them crawled up from the ground in fear, blood dripping from the corners of their mouths as they looked at Wang Mang in horror.
“Get over here,” Wang Mang said with a sinister expression.
The two of them trembled as they walked over, not daring to meet Wang Mang’s gaze.
“You guys are very bold! It’s been two days, yet you’re only telling me now!”
“If I hadn’t come personally to ask, how long were you planning to hide it from me?”
“It looks like you two really want to die!”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two of them said in fear, “Milord, spare us! Please spare us!”
“We had no choice! The other party is the son of the Vice-City Lord.”
“If we offend him, I’m afraid we’ll be worse off than dead!”
“You’re afraid of him, but not me?” Wang Mang sneered. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you right now?”
As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, the two of them immediately fell to the ground in fear, their bodies trembling.
“Tell me about this person and the Vice-City Lord.”
“I want to see just how powerful he is to dare to snatch my immortal stones.”
Wang Mang’s face was twisted in anger.bender
In their panic, the two of them finally explained everything that had happened, which gave Wang Mang a rough idea of what had happened.
It turned out that the culprit was the son of the Vice-City Lord, Lin Long.
There was a thorny problem though, Lin Long’s father was a Tier 5 expert, and was also one of the competitors for the position of North City Lord!
However, Wang Mang also had a Tier 5 expert!
Thinking this, Wang Mang immediately sent a message transmission to An Lan, summoning the latter to his side. For the sake of these immortal stones, Wang Mang was willing to risk offending a Tier 5 expert.
After all, he had just found out that it was 6 million immortal stones!
After summoning An Lan, Wang Mang turned his cold gaze to the two generals, considering whether to kill them.
However, right at this moment, Wang Mang suddenly felt the entire ground shake.
Even Wang Mang almost lost his footing due to the powerful tremors. It felt as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking!
What the f*ck was going on?
Wang Mang was bewildered.
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.
