Chapter 1698 Taking Over the Black Market
Guo Laowu's breathing became rapid; he never expected that he had been tricked.
Meng Yunzheng drew his sword sharply. "You've worked hard, but it was all for nothing."
Guo Laowu stared wide-eyed as his body slowly fell backward with a 'bang,' dying with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
Xia Yi walked towards Meng Yunzheng, glanced at Steward Guo, and asked, "What do we do next?"
Meng Yunzheng pondered that since things had come to this point, it was best if this black market ceased to exist.
He asked, "Approximately how many people are still in this black market?"
“Not many, I’d guess around thirty.” Xia Yi pondered for a moment. “Guo Laowu is dead. Now, the biggest boss in this black market is Jiang Kuanyu. But all of Jiang Kuanyu’s capable men have been killed by wild beasts. The rest of the black market are just a rabble, no real threat.”
There weren't many people left in the black market to begin with; aside from those locked up in jail, there were probably only seventy or eighty.
When Meng Yunzheng and his group entered, there were three people left at the mansion. Later, Meng Pei opened the Wild Beast Camp and released all the beasts. This chaos directly caused a number of people in the black market to lose their lives. Including the injured, maybe half of the people left were still alive.
They just killed Guo Laowu and his three men, as well as the five or six people who were originally there.
Roughly estimated, there are about thirty people.
These thirty people were scattered in various places, and they were all extremely poor in terms of physical skills.
Xia Yi's eyes lit up slightly. "Maybe we can capture these people directly and take control of the black market?"
"Well, before that, let's deal with Jiang Kuanyu first." Without a leader, the people in the black market will be completely helpless, having already been frightened.
Xia Yi said, "There are quite a few people in the prison. If we give them weapons, we can have more help. Especially those who were originally locked up inside to fight wild beasts. Although most of them were injured, those who survived the clutches of wild beasts are more or less skilled and agile. The people left behind in the black market are not very capable. They are more than enough to deal with them."
In fact, it wasn't just these people; there were also several wealthy young men from Chenggu County who had been captured like Young Master He, some of whom also knew martial arts. Moreover, they harbored a surge of anger and hatred in their chests, and if they were armed with swords and spears, they could fight just as fiercely.
Meng Yunzheng understood. "Okay, then you go find the weapons first. I'll deal with Jiang Kuanyu and then release everyone from the prison."
"Okay, no problem."
The two first hid Guo Laowu's body inside, while Xia Yi had already disposed of the other bodies.
He then opened the gate to the beast camp a crack and looked outside. There was hardly anyone there; despite the fight that had just taken place, it hadn't attracted anyone's attention.
The Wild Beast Camp was already noisy, and once the gate was closed, the noise was completely masked. In addition, the black market had limited manpower, and most of them were concentrated in the medical room. Everyone else who was not injured had something to do, so no one would have thought that Guo Laowu, the manager who was with three experts, had been killed.
Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yi closed the door again and then went their separate ways.
Meng Yunzheng went to find Jiang Kuanyu, but what he didn't know was that just as he arrived at the Wild Beast Camp, Jiang Kuanyu had already found the place where Shu Yu and the others were hiding.
