…
At the governor’s manor in the center of Jianghai city.
At the moment, a group of unfamiliar guests had arrived.
“Mr. Zhao, welcome, welcome.”
The current governor of Jianghai city, Du Tianyu, was already waiting there early, along with his secretary and the management of Jianghai city.
Du Tianyu was the descendant of a prominent family in Jianghai city, and Du Changfeng was his biological uncle.
His cultivation was not high, but he used his brain, foresight, and decisiveness to manage the administration of the city despite it.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was too much land in the nine provinces, and the area was vast. There were also many cities.
There was simply no way for every city in the nine provinces to be matched with a governor with high cultivation.
The vast majority of the powerful martial artists were sent to the front lines.
Only the three special positions of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy’s director, the Jianghai Library’s director, and Jianghai Garrison’s commander would be filled with martial arts experts at the grandmaster rank and above.
Strictly speaking, that was the general situation in the rest of the regions around the world as well.
After all, martial arts experts were truly one in ten thousand. If one purely relied on the strength of their martial arts to determine the strength and weakness of their social status, it would directly result in the loss of morality, forming an extremely unequal society where the strong preyed on the weak. Then, between humans… They would be separated from each other and would be on the verge of destruction.
“Mr. Governor, this time, we have come with the expectations of the headquarters of the nine provinces alliance. No matter what, we must evolve Jianghai city into a high-level city.”
The joy on the governor’s face could not be concealed.
“Our Jianghai city has been waiting for this day for a long time.”
“As for the detailed plan, let’s go in and talk.”
“Alright. Please come in, please come in.”
…
After everyone entered the governor’s manor and discussed for a full two hours, the entire meeting came to an end, and the next development plan of Jianghai city was confirmed.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed and began to draft the development plan for Jianghai city.
Only Mr. Zhao and the governor were left in the huge meeting room.
Mr. Zhao took off his gold-rimmed glasses and casually wiped them while glancing at the governor. He smiled and said,
“Actually, before I came, the headquarters had a private mission for me. They asked me to convey something to you.”
The governor was stunned and immediately said with a serious expression,
“Mr. Zhao, please tell me.”
“A few months ago, there were rumors in Jianghai city that there were two martial arts experts with the cultivation of a grandmaster. Do you know about this?”
The governor nodded.
“Everyone in Jianghai city knows about this, so naturally I do too.”
“The headquarters’ request is to find out the identities of those two individuals.
“You know, in the land of the nine provinces, no force is allowed to appear that is not under the control of the Alliance.
“Of course, it would be best if we can recruit him into the Alliance to work for the nine provinces.”
The governor was a bit troubled. Those kinds of idle martial arts experts did not want to be controlled by the system.
If they wanted to join the Alliance, they would have joined long ago.
However, they had yet to do so, which meant that they were not greedy for power.
If he went to look for them and they did not agree to it, he would be causing trouble for them.
They had even saved Jianghai city a few times. If he were to do so, he would be forcing them into a corner.
“Mr. Zhao, I’m afraid that this matter will be a little difficult to resolve. Firstly, the other party is too powerful, and their whereabouts are unknown. It won’t be easy for my men to find him.
