"Boom..." The sound of horse hooves was like rumbling thunder, shaking the ground slightly.
The land owner's originally furious face was instantly replaced with a smug expression of "everything is under control". He even straightened his collar leisurely, as if the person who was so angry just now was not him at all.
Mou Xuan frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a well-equipped cavalry team charging towards them at lightning speed.
The leader was wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, and looked very imposing. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Mou Xuan, do you think you've won by taking back the water source? Naive!" The landowner sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "I forgot to tell you, I'm not the only 'landlord' on this piece of land!"
Before he finished speaking, the cavalry team had already rushed forward and surrounded Mou Xuan and Explorer Le.
"Whoa--" The leading knight pulled the reins suddenly, the warhorse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and stopped in front of Mou Xuan.
"Are you Mou Xuan?" The knight looked down at Mou Xuan with an arrogant tone.
Mou Xuan remained calm and replied calmly, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Hmph, something's wrong? You ruined my good deed, tell me if there's anything wrong?" The knight snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Hand over the water source quickly if you know what's good for you, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Before Mou Xuan could reply, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the base.
"Oh no! The energy equipment has stopped!"
"What's going on? Go check it out!"
"The backup energy source can't be activated either!"
Mou Xuan's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He turned his head sharply to look at the landowner, only to find that he was looking at him with a gloating expression.
"Hahaha, Mou Xuan, you didn't expect that, did you? Do you think water source is the only important thing? Without energy, your base is just a pile of scrap metal!" The land owner laughed triumphantly, as if he had already seen Mou Xuan's defeat.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He turned to Shen Yao beside him and said, “Yaoyao, take a few people back to the base and see if the energy equipment can be repaired. I will handle things here.”
Although Chen Yao was worried about Mou Xuan's safety, she also knew that the situation was urgent. She nodded and hurried away with a few people.
Mou Xuan looked at Chen Yao's departing back, he turned his head and looked at the landowner Ren again, his eyes became cold and sharp.
"Land owner Ren, do you think you can defeat me like this? You underestimate me!"
"Oh? Really? Then I'll wait and see!" The landowner shrugged with an indifferent expression.
At this moment, defense engineer Xiao rushed over, sweating and panting, and said, "Mou Xuan, it's bad! The energy equipment has been tampered with, and it can't be repaired in a short time!"
Mou Xuan was shocked, and he immediately realized that this must be the work of Dou, the building materials merchant.
In order to bypass him before, Mou Xuan directly obtained building materials from other channels, which made Dou, a building materials merchant, resentful. Now he finally found an opportunity for revenge.
"This damn profiteer!" Mou Xuan said with gritted teeth, but he soon calmed down.
"Engineer Xiao, can you contact other energy suppliers?" Mou Xuan asked.
Engineer Xiao shook his head and said helplessly, "It's too late. Far water can't quench near thirst! Besides, Dou, the building materials merchant, controls most of the energy supply in this area. Others dare not go against him."
Mou Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
He knew that the only way now was to go and negotiate with Dou, the building materials merchant.
"Let's go find that profiteer!" Mou Xuan said in a deep voice.
He took Engineer Xiao with him and strode towards the residence of Dou, a building materials merchant.
Dou, a building materials merchant, was sitting on a throne, sipping tea leisurely, looking confident of victory.
Seeing Mou Xuan coming in, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this Brother Mou Xuan? What brings you here?"
Mou Xuan looked at him coldly and said straight to the point: "Boss Dou, stop pretending. You were the one who did the energy equipment thing, right?"
Dou, the building materials merchant, did not deny it. He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Yes, I did it. How about it? Does it taste bad?"
"What do you want?" Mou Xuan asked.
"It's simple. I want you to pay!" A trace of greed flashed in Dou's eyes. "I want you to pay double the energy repair fee and sign an unequal treaty with me to ensure that all energy supplies will be purchased from me in the future. Otherwise, you can wait for your base to become a ruin!"
Mou Xuan sneered and said, "Boss Dou, you are just dreaming! Do you think I will be threatened by you?"
"Oh? Really? Then you give it a try!" Dou, the building materials merchant, was not afraid at all. He clapped his hands, and a group of thugs immediately rushed in from outside and surrounded Mou Xuan.
"Mu Xuan, I advise you to be obedient, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Dou, the building materials merchant, threatened.
A cold light flashed in Mou Xuan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Boss Dou, do you think you can scare me like this? You are too naive!"
He looked around at those aggressive thugs, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
"You think you can stop me with just these rubbish?"
Before he finished speaking, Mou Xuan suddenly moved!
He disappeared in a flash like a ghost, and in the next second, he appeared in front of a thug.
