Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The People Cannot Live in Such Misery Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The People Cannot Live in Such Misery There, at the foot of Mount Tiantai, surrounded by dense forests.

As soon as Black Wolf saw Greg Jensen appear, he fell to his knees with a thump, speaking with agitated emotion, “Dragon King, I… I have let you down, failing to protect the Dragon King’s Palace! Now I have even disturbed your quiet cultivation, drawing you into this turmoil!”

Greg quickly helped him up, looking at his body covered with whip marks, bloodstains, unkempt hair, and dirty face, one could tell at a glance that he had been subjected to inhuman torture after falling into Oscar Jones’s hands.

Without thinking further, one knew that the others who were still trapped within Oscar’s territory, like Fox and Viper, would be receiving what kind of treatment?!

He placed his hands on Black Wolf’s shoulders, speaking in a grave voice, “This past year you’ve all been looking after the Dragon King’s Palace, attending to the people’s welfare; it is I who should thank you!”

“Dragon King, I…”

“Alright, what’s done is done, no point fretting over it now. We need to figure out a way to rescue the people, that’s what’s important!”

Black Wolf wanted to say more, but Greg gestured with his hands and forcefully cut him off.

He decided to first visit the Eight countries in Southeast to get a grasp of the situation and look for an opportunity to infiltrate Oscar’s base, awaiting his chance to act.

Therefore, Greg took some effort to treat Black Wolf’s injuries and quickly disguised both of themselves. Only then did he lead him back into the Eight countries in Southeast.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Not yet having entered the urban area, from far away the two men heard a series of intermittent gunshots from within, along with the intertwining screams of countless citizens, tugging fiercely at Greg’s heartstrings.

Black Wolf explained, “Under Oscar’s orders, these past few days have seen a purge of those who once supported the Dragon King’s Palace, treating our former subordinates and the citizens with the same cruelty! In just two days, at least three million people in the Eight countries in Southeast have died!”

Hearing this, Greg’s face grew dark, and without replying, he directly strode into the urban area.

From a distance, he could see the entire city engulfed in dark and toxic haze, with the military and the members of the Bright Church colluding together, oppressing the citizens at will.

What’s worse, upon seeing any woman with a hint of beauty, those Church envoys would begin stripping and taking turns exerting themselves right on the street, a sight too appalling to witness.

Irritatingly, around these people were a crowd clapping and cheering, nobody attempting to stop them, as if in their eyes, these women were meant to be used by others!

Black Wolf, unable to tolerate the sight, subconsciously wanted to take action but was pulled back by Greg.

“Dragon King, these scoundrels are truly detestable! You won’t let me step in, but are we just going to watch these innocent women get defiled by these beasts?”

Greg’s expression was impassive, as he suppressed the rage in his heart and said, “The top dictates the bottom. These scenes are now common in the streets and alleys of the Eight countries in Southeast. If you save one person with your intervention, can you save all the others?”

The root of all these sins was traceable to Oscar’s doorstep, his support and decisions had led to the current depravity and disregard for the people!

Even the Dragon King’s Palace’s management for over a year had gradually enabled the citizens to have enough to eat and live in peace and happiness. Now with Oscar in charge, it had all been destroyed!

Therefore, it was absolutely not the time for action. Taking action at this critical juncture would immediately put him and Black Wolf in the throes of being hunted, and it would alert the enemy, enabling Oscar to use Fox and the others as leverage to force them into a desperate situation!

He must consider the bigger picture and keep his composure. On one hand, he needed to investigate exactly who was with Oscar and, on the other hand, find out where Fox and his group were being held.

Their only advantage at present was hiding in the shadows, still unknown to others. Grasping this advantage, as long as they did not appear, Oscar and his men would not have peace of mind for even a day!

In the following two hours, Greg Jensen, along with Black Wolf, traveled throughout the Eight countries in Southeast, gathering insights into the mood of the populace while discreetly collecting intelligence.

What could now be confirmed was that Oscar Jones’s base remained in the Westina District, the original location of the Bright Church.

This area, located towards the northwest of the Eight countries in Southeast and characterized by overlapping peaks, was easy to defend but hard to attack, and it was just over five hundred miles from the border.

It also made sense that Oscar Jones had dealings with the people of the Dark Golden Triangle. If the location had been too far away, it would have been inconvenient for his various activities.

Furthermore, Oscar Jones had raised taxes in the Eight countries in Southeast by fivefold and leased out a substantial amount of land to powers from other countries. He had all the rice fields plowed under to grow vast quantities of narcotics.

Moreover, he was forcing countless civilians to work the fields for him, with military personnel stationed there at all times. Those who disobeyed received a bullet, and the workers were fed at most one meal a day.

After careful analysis, Greg Jensen realized that Oscar Jones was doing this to sap the strength of the entire populace, preventing them from rebelling, while conveniently lowering production costs and increasing his profit margins.

All these narcotics were being shipped to the Dark Golden Triangle, likely as part of an agreement with the people there.

One had to admit that when the profits from a business exceeded three hundred percent, it was enough to drive anyone mad, and even to flout the law–let alone the profits from narcotics, which were well beyond three hundred percent!

“Dragon King, sir, this is Westina’s territory! The main base of the Bright Church is on that mountain over there!”

At this moment, Black Wolf subtly nudged Greg Jensen and gestured with his eyes toward a distant peak.

Following his gaze, Greg Jensen saw a mountain peak covered in snow, shining dazzlingly in the evening sunlight.

Contrasted with the slum area they were in, that mountain was ablaze with lights and color, seeming extremely lively.

Looking further down, one could see layers of military encampments at the base of the lofty peak. No, to be more precise, upon approaching the Westina area, military forces were visible everywhere, with various powers emerging incessantly, entering and leaving the grand entertainment venues, surrounded by luxury and lost in hedonism.

“It seems like Oscar Jones is treating the entire Eight countries in Southeast as his money-making tool, with no intention to reform anything, just seeking to profit from it!”

Thinking this, Greg Jensen prepared to find a teahouse to settle down in, planning to get closer to that mountain range once the darkness deepened a bit more.

Tap tap tap–

However, in the next second, many of the citizens around him, as if triggered by something, excitedly ran off in one direction.

Unable to help himself, Black Wolf grabbed someone to find out what was happening.

The man said excitedly, “Didn’t you see the notice? Lord Oscar Jones executed the remnants of the Dragon King’s Palace and displayed their bodies at the base of the mountain for all to see. They say one of the Dragon King’s great generals is among them!”

“What?!” Black Wolf couldn’t believe his ears and widened his eyes, involuntarily grabbing the man’s collar, “Which general? Do you know the name?”

“I… how would I know? Isn’t that why I’m going to check it out after hearing the news!”

After speaking, the man broke free from Black Wolf’s grasp and hurried off with the crowd.

Black Wolf turned back, “Dragon King, sir, this…”

“Don’t get agitated yet! We don’t know if the news is true. Come on, let’s go have a look ourselves!”
