Chapter 917 - Repeat an Old Stratagem (1/2)
Chapter 917: Repeat an Old Stratageht would hold onto Highland City tightly Perhaps Highland City was just a poor city in the border region in the past, but the Country of Light would be foolish beyond cure if they were to give theest probleht on land One of the biggest reasons why Sail Harbor surrendered to Rhode was because they weren’t connected to the Country of Light and were separated by the strait On the contrary, after Order was stabilized in the land of Chaos, Sail Harbor became connected to Void Territory instead Under such a circu over as to who they should seek support fro attacked by Rhode to choose to rely on the Country of Light as on the other side of the strait Moreover, although the Country of Light had a powerful navy, they were too far to be able to help Further end of the Country of Light’s pressures and exploits, so it wasn’t surprising that they sought another backing, especially after Rhode illing to give thehland City was also abused by the Country of Light, absolute fear also produced absolute obedience Moreover, they lacked a superior geographic location like Sail Harbor, where Sail Harbor wasn’t afraid of the Country of Light finding trouble with them As a result, it was harder to handle this situation with Highland City on this aspect
However, Rhode was deterht would be holding one of his major routes in their hands Besides, he definitely couldn’t allow any region under his dragon soul protection to be independent If not, his dominance would be severely threatened He definitely couldn’t tolerate this In face of future wars, he had to ensure stability within his territory If there was any social or political unrest, they would surely delay his plans of becoht also lose precious opportunities If the Country of Light were to control Highland City, they would control the entrance and exit to the Void Territory and he was sure that those bastards would stir trouble in his territory This hat he wasn’t willing to see
Therefore, he arrived at Highland City in the identity of ‘Miranda Seren’ yet again to personally understand the extent of infiltration the Country of Light had planned
After he arrived, he discovered that apart frohland City, there were also soht It seeroups were sohland City wasn’t great at the ht as well send these chess pawns forward If there were any risks, these medium-size trade associations would take the hit On the contrary, if there were any benefits, the five largest financial groups would take most of them
The various hland City Therefore, it ithout saying that the Alanic Farasped the ion Today, the Alanic Fahland City, where they ed almost every aspect of the residents They were obstacles to Rhode’s plan because if he were to launch his attack on theest financial groups head-on too Judging froht Parlia enough, so they handed everything to the five largest financial groups Merchants were animals ouldn’t wake up early unless there were benefits for them to reap They naturally understood that if they could control Highland City entirely, the rich resources in surrounding regions would belong to theest financial groups were spontaneous on this ht Parliaht Parlia personnel because they were all basically eliroups possessed forces that wereto the players, the five largest financial groups more or less had relations with the Dark Brotherhood and de the core of the Dudek Financial Group Sonia had also told Rhode that in her Lockos Financial Group, there were terful beings in the Intere from the Dark Brotherhood who always stayed by the side of their patriarch On the other hand, the spell casters in Pilt Financial Group interain powerful ical abilities from the non-humans As a result, their children naturally became their elites Furthermore, there were also ru some unclean relationshi+ps with the succubus queen Also, the Manny Financial Group as the business leader was also related to Chaos
The Alanic Financial Group was no exception too Ath that they possessed, there was also the Brain Eater from the alternate plane of existence
Rhode had to adroups did a wonderful job keeping their true strength a secret These were only rumors that players had heard and never personally witnessed It was only until Rhode led Starlight, plowed through Casabianca, and fought head-on with the five largest financial groups that he discovered their secret forces The five largest financial groups were siht In terms of ht Parliaht Parliament and could even influence them instead
But as ironic was that perhaps even the Light Dragon didn’t expect such darkness and evil hidden under her dragon soul protection
Rhode didn’t find it strange because ht Mainland were located in the Country of Light As dom, they would instantly eradicate these evil forces once they were discovered On the other hand, huels were in extreave the cultists and evil forces to grow rauys so soon
“Greetings, Miss Miranda Welcohland City I didn’t expect that your Seren Trade association is also interested in Highland City”
The young man in a luxurious attire smiled and poured a cup of tea for Rhode He was the person in charge of the Alanic Financial Group in Highland City—Shane Grant Alanic However, Rhode was more familiar with his other identity—vice-captain of the Viper Gang
Diggingwith the cultists at the sa ith their business, huh? The Viper Gang was second to none in slave trafficking They were experts in capturing non-hu the business earned them so much that they were able to develop thisa glance at the tea before hi the scent that could provide relaxing efforts The spice was basically harmless but when used appropriately in the hands of an expert, it could lead to psychological changes Old habits sure die hard
“Business hasn’t been great lately and we are looking to improve our business After all, there are so s aren’t as convenient as last time So, I came here to see if I can find new business opportunities for my Seren Trade association After all…”
Rhode pointed at the starry night through the hich Shane burst into laughter
“That’s right, Miss Miranda Unlike the past, there are lihland City now Besides, I’ve received news that the Light Parliae scale I’m sure that there will be lots of benefits from it but I’m unaware of… what your Seren Trade association will focus on”
“I’ve not decided yet After all, I’s out for now There are bound to be risks for businesses with sed the topic because not even a true th to a formidable competitor Shane smiled in response
“Miss Miranda sure is cautious But you’re right Although ht to seek success through stability How about this? I can arrange hland City, Miss Miranda Even though Highland City is by the border, social order is great here There won’t be any probleement If you have any needs, please let me know and I will help you aslady like you from your trade association I’m truly surprised…”
“Sorry to trouble you, Mr Shane”
Rhode replied with a beautiful s back to his senses He let out an aard cough
“Er exhausted Shall I prepare a room for both of you…”
“Don’t worry, Mr Shane We’ve booked a roohland City later When I first arrived, I orried that this place is dangerous Bu, it seems to be as safe as what you’ve said, Mr Shane”
