An Moxue came and went in a hurry. At night, while A Xia and the others were fast asleep, she quietly left the courtyard, drove away, and disappeared.
That night, thanks to the calming medicine and An Moxue's influence, A Xia and the others slept soundly until they woke up the next morning to find that An Moxue had left.
They continued with their lives, and things in the town remained the same. There were always new stories about the border, and the wolf attacks on the border guards' quarters began to fade from memory. Even the horrific story of corpses being aired out in the sun was rarely mentioned anymore. The town seemed to have returned to its former state, and even the landlady's tavern resumed its evening business and daytime rest.
An Moxue, the person who caused a series of problems, returned to Puda State and sat in the company, listening to the company manager report on the company's recent business.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for An Moxue's reply. He subconsciously glanced at An Moxue, feeling uneasy and as if he were walking on needles.
"Nothing else to say, just these business matters? Hmm—" The drawn-out tone sounded more like a death knell.
The manager broke out in a cold sweat and said cautiously, "Recently, several powerful families have approached me..." He then glanced at An Moxue and continued carefully, "They're all related to the oil wells the government is about to auction off. But don't worry, I've refused them all; I absolutely haven't agreed to anything." His voice softened considerably.
After a long while, An Moxue spoke softly. This time, she used her inner strength, her voice filled with pressure and coldness: "Hmm, do you think you're able to stand here unharmed? From now on, work diligently and remember that? However, I'm giving you a day off. Go home and see your wife. If you can't handle this, don't come back tomorrow."
Upon hearing An Moxue's words, the manager instinctively felt something was wrong and quickly pledged his loyalty, saying, "Chairman, rest assured, I am absolutely loyal to the company."
"Okay, go out!" An Moxue waved her hand. Disloyalty is fine, but I'm afraid you can't bear the consequences.
The reason this manager was initially chosen was because he had good relationships with several prominent families and was very tactful. Now, it seems that he has become a constraint.
She had only been back in Puda for two days, and the government tender hadn't even been released yet, but these people were already impatient. She received several invitations or phone calls every day, inviting her to discuss things in detail. They were really eager.
"Hmph, looks like they can't sit still! And there are quite a few of them."
An Moxue thought for a moment, then dialed Duoze's number, "Hello! Duoze?"
"Miss Giddens, it's me. What can I do for you?"
"Bring our best men and come to Puda Prefecture to meet me as soon as possible." An Moxue didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"Yes, is Miss Giddens planning something big?" Doze asked excitedly.
"Yes, you'll see when you get here. No need to dress up nicely, just be as fierce as you want. Book your tickets and get here as soon as possible. I'll have someone pick you up from the airport, so make sure you look your best."
"Yes, Miss Giddo, don't worry. Once we've assembled the team, I'll book the nearest train and call you when we arrive in Anadolu."
"good."
Doze hung up the phone, his heart pounding with excitement. All these years of recruiting and expanding the grasslands had only laid the foundation. He had thought Miss Jido was about to become a big ranch owner, but then he received her call saying she wanted to gather all the best people. How could he not be excited? What man doesn't dream of expanding his territory? And this was all happening in Eseili? Needless to say, he was thrilled.
He picked up the phone and made the call.
"Hello! Is this Batu?"
......
"Hello! Is this Jamukha?"
......
"Hello! Is this Sauron?"
......
Doze made a series of phone calls, then gave some instructions to the shop assistants before hurriedly driving to the ranch where everyone usually trained.
This is a pasture in Ulanakh. It's not very big. It's mainly for these people who know martial arts to train and live here. When they don't have any missions, they mainly train and also take care of some herding. Anyway, there aren't many cattle and sheep. The main purpose is to provide them with food and other necessities.
As soon as Duoze stopped the car, someone came over. "Duoze, what brings you here at this hour?"
Doze walked over, and the two hugged. Then Doze said, "Abba, gather the men, I have something to say."
"Okay, you wait."
Before long, Aba had gathered everyone on the ranch.
"I have good news to share with you all today. You've been training for so long, but haven't accomplished anything significant. Today, I received a call from Miss Gido, saying she wants to gather all our best fighters and head to Osiripuda. Aren't you excited?"
"Good!" someone shouted, followed by a chorus of voices.
Doze let them talk for a few minutes before continuing, "Alright, everyone quiet down. Listen to me first. All the warriors here, pack your things and come back to Ulanahe with me. Then we'll go to Puda Prefecture together. Miss Jido said to dress smartly for our appearance in Puda Prefecture. If any of you embarrass yourselves, don't blame me for being impolite. Everyone knows Miss Jido's martial prowess. It's been more than half a year since we last met, so her skills have probably improved. If you want to be taught a lesson by her, then go ahead. Alright, dismissed. Pack your things and let's depart immediately."
The group shuddered as they recalled the days when An Moxue used them as punching bags. Those days were filled with tears and bruises. None of them wanted to look back on those days.
The crowd scattered, and Aba asked Doze, "Is something big about to happen?"
Doze shook his head and said, "Miss Jido didn't say, but I feel that something big is about to happen. You should go and pack your things."
"good."
While Duoze was all ready to go, the manager returned home and saw his wife happily trying on a set of jewelry, from earrings to necklace to bracelet, all of which looked like high-end items.
He was so angry he wanted to curse, but he held back and patiently asked his wife, "Honey, this set of jewelry is really beautiful, where did you get it?"
His wife asked with a delighted look, "Does it look good?"
His honest assessment was: "It looks good, but it must be expensive!"
His wife's eyes flickered; instead of answering the manager's question, she asked, "Isn't it working hours? Why are you back?"
He looked at the jewelry in his wife's hand and said, "Guess why I came home during work hours?"
His wife seemed somewhat disbelieving, lowered her head, and protested, "How would I know?"
He remained calm: "Didn't you already guess?"
His wife seemed incredulous: "How could that be?"
He looked at his wife, a storm brewing in his eyes, but his words were calm: "How is it impossible!"
