Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Chapter 562 Opportunities to Exploit (2/2)
“Who exactly are you? What are you doing in Sky Sand City?”
Chen Yu didn’t want to waste words with him, so he simply twisted his neck slightly, knocking him unconscious.
Follow-up forces continued to rush into the slum, but as soon as they set foot on this land, they fell into traps. In less than five minutes, everyone was caught in the pre-dug pitfalls.
The residents of the slum had always lived in humiliation. The patrol team would come here every now and then, either to snatch people or to take money.
Driven to desperation, the people had no choice but to dig traps around the area.
Chen Yu, building on what was already there, linked all the traps together to form a massive trap network.
Ba Wan came over, elated.
“Mr. Chen, we’ve captured all of them; what do you suggest we do now?”
Chen Yu stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
“Catching these guys is tantamount to declaring war on Sky Sand City. Are you really not afraid?”
Ba Wan grimaced, his eyes filled with anger.
“Those people control all the resources in the city, driving us to this barren place with no medicine, no water, and even restricting our food supply. We’re fed up! What do we have to fear if it comes down to death?”
The surrounding residents also started to gather, their rage ignited when they heard Ba Wan’s words.
“Exactly, the people of Sky Sand City, relying on their noble ancestry, have been oppressing us without restraint. It’s about time they paid the price.”
“Mr. Chen, if you can subdue the formidable scorpion, you can surely help us!”
…
A wave of excitement surged through the crowd; they couldn’t wait to storm into the heart of Sky Sand City and tear the detested city lord to pieces.
Chen Yu raised his hand to calm them momentarily. Just as he was about to share his plan, a voice sounded from outside the slums.
“To the divine healer inside, I am the head of the Sky Sand City Medical Association. I’ve heard you cured two very difficult patients, and I would like to invite you to the hospital in my capacity as the president of the association to treat a few more patients.”
Although the voice came through a loudspeaker, it clearly conveyed a hint of pleading.
Ba Wan paused, taken aback.
“It’s President Huang of the Medical Association; what brings him here?”
The crowd present began to stir with excitement.
Huang Qingyang was different from the others; as president of the Medical Association, he truly embodied a doctor’s benevolence.
He would often come to the slums with professional doctors and a large supply of medicine to treat the people there, all free of charge.
Chen Yu immediately captured the brainwave information of everyone present and, after some analysis, discovered that this President Huang was indeed one of the few good people around.
If he wanted to completely win over Sky Sand City, relying solely on the residents of the slums wouldn’t be enough; he needed to ally with other forces.
The Medical Association was a good choice, as they at least controlled the medical lifeline of the city.
“Since it’s President Huang’s invitation, I shall accompany him. You all stay here and wait for my return; remember to keep expanding the traps outside. We cannot afford to give the patrol team any opportunities to exploit.”
