That's why they say when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. I just spoke with a police chief, but we're not very close.
The relationship is rather convoluted and not very close, because the location is a bit remote.
The master had connections in the central government, while they were local bullies.
The backer of the three drivers I just hailed has come looking for us; he's a powerful figure in the area.
The gang is called the Mountain Snake Gang. It has a Grandmaster of the Third Realm who serves as its retainer, and it is quite influential in Daxing.
A person was assaulted, and a truckload of goods was stolen; how could they possibly let it go?
They've already started searching for us all over the city and have also mobilized official resources.
Upon receiving the news, the local bureau chief immediately notified them; after all, this place wasn't like the state capital.
There wasn't anyone in the government who could keep things in check, and gangs were usually part of the defense force.
Upon receiving the news, a leader of the Mountain Snake Society led a large group of people to our hotel.
When we arrived, they blocked our way and brought police officers with them, saying that we were robbers who had stolen their car and goods.
The experiences along the way have truly driven me to the brink of collapse. It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.
It really proves the old saying true: shallow waters breed many turtles, and big shots are everywhere.
These little toads from small towns really think they're something special.
This time I was really angry, but I calmed down too.
He smiled obsequiously at the head of the hall.
They kept calling him "Brother," saying, "Brother, it was our fault, we were wrong. How about we pay you back? Just name your price and I'll have my family send it over, okay?"
The crow and Old Mo beside me know how powerful I am. If I wanted to, no one in Daxing Prefecture could stop me.
But now, seeing me fawning over people, calling them "big brother" and flattering them, gives me goosebumps.
I completely fooled this hall master, and he's so flattered he's forgotten his own name.
He immediately asked me for five million, and I didn't give him a single penny back—it was an outrageous price.
He agreed immediately, thinking he had caught a big fish and was overjoyed.
Crow and Old Mo kept gesturing for me to attack, but I stopped them both.
I called Brother Wen right there in front of him and asked him to bring money to pick me up. Brother Wen was quite taken aback.
Before I could even process what was happening, I blurted out, "I've offended a local big shot. Bring me some money to ransom me right now, or I'm going to get beaten up!"
Wen Ge on the other end of the phone was both amused and exasperated, but he understood what I meant.
They took people to perform miracles in front of the people. I heard from him that my master had already contacted some influential local officials.
So I went to see my master and asked him what was going on.
The driver was taken aback when he heard this, unsure of what was going on, so he asked the locals.
The response they received was a very high-sounding reason, which infuriated both Master and Elder Fu. Elder Fu immediately said that he would take people and go there in person.
The group traveled directly from Heishan Prefecture to Daxing on an official plane.
It's quite far away, but with the authorities involved, it's not a problem. With Wenger leading the team...
Sister Wang followed along, supporting the driver the whole way. They arrived in Daxing in no time.
That's quite an impressive lineup; it even caught the attention of the main person in charge of Daxing Prefecture.
Apart from Inner Kyushu, the main responsible departments in other prefectures were naval garrisons that handled both military and political affairs.
This is a world where great power resides in the individual; as long as the strongest at the top remain in order, it doesn't matter how chaotic the people below become.
However, if the oppression is too severe, it will give the evil god organization an opportunity to exploit.
Therefore, most supernatural organizations do not oppress ordinary people too much.
What if a truly exceptional talent emerges from among the common people? If you oppress them too harshly, won't you make enemies?
Therefore, the older the organization or family tradition, the stricter their family education and the more lenient they are towards the common people; those who bully others are the newly rich.
