Send the name and photo over, and Ill teach him a lesson for you

Bro, his name is Zhao Yu, heres his photo

Huo Xiao Xi found a photo of Zhao Yu in the school group chat and sent it over.

Bro, dont be too harsh on him..Just teach him some manner.

Dont worry, I know my limits.

Huo Xiao Xi sighed in relief, ended the call, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.

Zhao Yu, you dare bully me? Lets see how my brother disciplines you

On the other end of the call, a man with a scar on his face commended his men

Brothers, grab your weapons, time to get to work

Boss, whats the deal this time?

Huo Da Hai coldly replied, Some b.a.s.t.a.r.d bullied my sister. What do you think?!

The group of men became instantly indignant, Bullying our bosss sister is the same as bullying our sister

Exactly! Lets go and take revenge for our sister

Huo Da Hai handed the photo and name to one of the men, Bro. Find out

where this guy is. If he left the school, notify me immediately

No problem

Zhao Yu, led by Stubble-bearded Big Brother, boarded an old car and chugged its way towards the outskirts of the city.

Following their car from not too far away were more than ten armored vehicles.

Big Brother, with them following us like this, is everything okay? A henchman asked with concern.

Stubble-bearded Big Brother confidently responded, These are people protecting Brother Zhao Yu, theyre our own. What is there to be afraid of?

Zhao Yu sat with his eyes closed in the pa.s.senger seat.

Zhao Yus purpose of visiting the black market was straightforwardto make a flamboyant appearance and reveal his intentions.

According to the data from Xiao Liu, there are three manufacturers in the Bing City that meet the criteria, all on the brink of bankruptcy.

An acquisition might lead them to see him as an easy target, and negotiations might not proceed smoothly.

Thus, Zhao Yu planned to employ a tactic, revealing his intention to make a small investment for a big return, hoping the manufacturers would approach him.

In reality, there are many better factories than those three. In fact, the Su family owns a factory fully equipped to manufacture firearms on its own.

But such factories are clearly out of his reach.

Even if he went directly to negotiate with the Su family, hed likely be put under house arrest and become a researcher for the Su family.

So, Zhao Yus plan was to keep his life safe while staying out of the Su family and building his own force.

As for the possibility of failure, he hadnt considered it. Only success exists; there is no room for failure now.

After reviewing the plan in his mind and ensuring that there were no major issues, Zhao Yu finally opened his eyes and asked, Wheres the black market?

Its outside the city

Brother Yu, what are we doing at the black market?

You dont need to concern yourself with that. Just do your job well, and youll be compensated, Zhao Yu replied indifferently.

He was well-aware of the characters of people like Stubble-bearded Big Brotherno morals, no boundaries, no brains. They werent exactly desirable subordinates, nor fit for security roles.

Yet he still kept them around, as they might be useful for his future plans.

Stubble-bearded Big Brother didnt dare ask further and began describing the black market outside the city.

Zhao Yu had a basic understanding of the external black market.

Bing City wasnt named for no reason. Its cold all year round, where water can instantly freeze. Outside the city lies an underground ice and snow city, built to entertain tourists.

Ever since the Empire arrived here, the City was abandoned. Due to its intricate, maze-like layout, it gradually became a black market.

Soon, the group left the city. What used to be a relatively clean road was now overgrown with weeds, causing the vehicle to jostle as they drove.

Hold on tight, Brother. This road is quite rough.

The roads used to be clean

Others, prompted by the surroundings, revealed melancholy in their eyes.

In the past, roads like these had designated personnel for cleaning. However, such projects have long been abandoned or perhaps the funds allocated for them were misappropriated.

Old days

Zhao Yu gripped the handle tightly, swaying with the b.u.mpy movements of the car. Finally, they stopped in front of a castle carved from ice blocks.

Were here, Brother Zhao Yu.

Alright, lead the way!

Boss, weve found him. Some people saw Zhao Yu heading to the black market, a subordinate reported.

Huo Da Hai was overjoyed and quickly asked, Is he alone?

No, he has a few people with him. The one leading them seems to be Green Hat Rong

Green Hat Rong, was Stubble-bearded Big Brothers nickname. Almost everyone who mixed in these circles knew about him, which was how he got such a moniker.

Green Hat Rong?!

A look of disdain appeared on Huo Da Hais face.

They were involved in legitimate business, belonging to the real risk-takers.

But Green Hat Rong, while avoiding conflicts with other businessmen, would only dare to pick on ordinary folks.

In their eyes, Green Hat Rong was barely half a businessman.

Big brother, should we bring guns?

Of course! How can you go to the black market without a gun?!
