Although the Middle Kingdom upholds the concept of equality for all and cracks down on such illegal and criminal activities, it does not prevent some people from secretly profiting from overseas regions and forces. Especially since human survival is still threatened, in addition to slavery, the existence of private soldiers and even secret guards is not uncommon. It's just that some of them use the guise of protection to engage in even more heinous and brutal businesses.
Luo Xuan continued, "Since the new president of the Federation took office three years ago, the Vera family, which is the main supporter of him, has had a stronger overall control over the Federation, and recently they have set their sights on various farms."
One strange thing is that the acquired farm did not continue production at its original pace; instead, it suspended operations. The farm is under strict control, and Ziguiti says he hasn't yet found out any specific details.
"Another one is the Federation's most low-profile third family, Iverson. It seems that they are intentionally consolidating their own power and actively avoiding the other two families, which is not reasonable."
Chang Le also saw this part of the news, which detailed the changes in the Iverson family's companies, stocks, and political personnel. She didn't understand some of the technical terms, but she could tell that Iverson was actively selling off his assets to the Rivera family and Gallia.
“That’s definitely not right,” Chang Le said.
"The Vera family has long held the top position in the Federation, and Iverson has always been courteous to them. However, they are mortal enemies with Gallia, and they have always fought tooth and nail with each other. This time, however, they have avoided each other, which means either Gallia and Vera have joined forces, or something major has happened within the two families that we do not know about, resulting in a huge disparity in the power between the two sides."
Chang Le sighed and rubbed his forehead wearily: "Let Zigui Ti keep an eye on things."
Seeing her like this, Luo Xuan advised, "Your physical condition is improving, but your sleep quality is getting worse. Did you not sleep well again last night?"
Chang Le didn't speak, but his face already gave an affirmative answer.
"Go and rest for a while. We're going to Hua'an City soon, and we won't be able to get a proper rest for a while."
Chang Le shook his head: "I can't sleep, I'll go for a walk."
She felt mentally exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep. Lying down only made her more restless, so she decided to keep herself busy or clear her mind.
Chang Le strolled to the animal training ground on the back mountain, where people were training dogs.
An older man was scolding a young man, beating him for being a coward and not daring to put a leash on the fierce wolfhound in front of him.
As Chang Le walked over, he overheard the young man muttering, "Aren't there a lot of people being bitten to death by cats and dogs lately? I... I'm just scared. Bro, can't you let me get used to it?"
"You coward, the more cowardly you are, the more it will bully you, you know that? You..."
The older members of the Dragon Soul Army saw Chang Le and immediately bowed, saying, "Greetings, Young Master!"
The others on the field immediately followed suit and bowed.
Chang Le waved them off to continue training, then walked over to the young man and asked, "What kind of cat or dog bites someone to death?"
The young man stared blankly at her, only snapping out of his daze after being punched by his boss.
"Ah...ah! Well, the day before yesterday, something happened in District 5. A dog from a kennel almost killed its owner and injured more than a dozen people. It made the news. And in the last two days, a lot of people have been talking about being attacked by pets. I...I'm not familiar with this wolfhound, I'm just a little scared."
Chang Le recalled that there was such an incident, which was sandwiched among a group of social and livelihood news.
It's true that many people, upon seeing such cases, share their similar experiences in the comments section below the platform, which is quite normal. Chang Le truly didn't expect that his renowned Dragon Soul Army would actually be frightened by such news.
"Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense!" his superior said.
“Whether it’s training dogs or raising pets, there are methods and techniques involved. It’s not that if you treat them well, they will love and protect you to death. Animals are different from people. You need to raise them in the right way to raise obedient pets and well-trained dogs. Many of those who get bitten, apart from the animals’ own aggressiveness, are often due to the problems of the owners.”
He then proceeded to lecture his subordinates.
But what he said made sense, and the young man blushed a little and lowered his head in agreement.
Chang Le found it amusing and glanced down at the wolfhound. The moment their eyes met, the wolfhound tucked its tail between its legs, pressed its ears back, licked its nose, and let out a soft growl.
"Hey! Sit!" The trainer immediately gave the command, and the wolfhound calmed down, but still glanced at her.
Chang Le raised an eyebrow and took a step back.
It seems the puppy was frightened.
She suddenly stepped back, but the wolfhound, instead of lowering its guard, trembled and stood up involuntarily.
The tamer whispered, "Swiftwind! Sit! Sit!"
Chang Le was taken aback: "Wait, wait a minute! What's it called?"
The tamer, puzzled, respectfully replied, "Well, his name is Xunfeng. Xun means swift, and Feng means wind. He runs fast, so that's his name."
A hint of a smile appeared between Chang Le's brows: "Hmm, a good name."
As he spoke, he took out his communicator and snapped a picture.
As he walked, he forwarded the message to Goubuli's group chat: "Look, 'Swift Wind' from the Golden Palace."
Bai Xie and his two companions' guild in Liangcheng wasn't here, but they replied to messages instantly.
After a burst of arrogant laughter, unsurprisingly, Bai Xie forwarded the picture to the group chats of the three monster-hunting teams in Kyushu.
Unsurprisingly, it was another day of one of the wolf kings jumping up and down, and the white wolf verbally attacking him from afar.
Chang Le turned his back to the animal training ground and left. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt someone staring at him and turned around abruptly.
There was nothing unusual; it was still the same people and dogs or other animals being trained in the animal training grounds.
Chang Le took another closer look and, as if it were an illusion, the feeling of being stared at was gone.
