Chapter 886: Chapter 713, New Survey Team Chapter 886: Chapter 713, New Survey Team Wu Heng nodded and felt relieved in his heart.
It was good that they had left.
It proved that the other party was just passing through Netalee City, and fortunately, the association had not troubled him.
Wu Heng then asked, “Where were you before this?”
“I didn't approach, but I saw them coming out of a pub owned by the Snake Badge Consortium,” Glenda said directly.
It was indeed the leader of the Snake Badge Consortium.
Actually, from his own perspective, the Snake Badge Consortium had been a great help to him.
Starting from Lundham City, the support he got from the Snake Badge Consortium was even greater than from the association.
Of course, it was a trading relationship, he paid and the other party provided services.
This could hardly be called a favor, it was simply a mutual need.
But he quite liked this mode of cooperation, where money could buy what he needed.
“Since they have left, it has nothing to do with us anymore. We might not even meet them in the future,” Wu Heng sipped his tea.
“They don't seem that overbearing,” Glenda continued.
“Just having met once does not mean they would come over and kill us just because we caught their eye on the street. If that were the case, it wouldn't be overbearing, it would be a psychological disorder!”
“That makes some sense,” Glenda agreed.
“Alright, let's focus on our own affairs. In a couple of days, the association's new investigation team will arrive, and our task will be over.”
“Uh-huh,” Glenda floated to one side and continued writing new stories.
Wu Heng sat in his room, sipping tea from a cup.
Near midday, the loud calls of Captain Felipa came from outside the window.
He walked to the window and looked outside, seeing Felipa with his arm around Shanaela's shoulders, coming back from outside.
Talking incessantly.
After greeting the ghosts, Wu Heng also went downstairs.
Heading to the living room.
As he walked down from upstairs, Shanaela and Felipa also stopped their chat and looked his way uniformly.
“What are you talking about?”
Felipa said, “Today, some traders from other caravans entered the city. We accompanied 'Brittany' to meet these people and also helped give some advice.”
Shanaela added, “They are all here to pick up properties in the city. They're still not sure about the situation, mainly focusing on gathering information.”
Different from Shanaela's situation.
These trade associations were still unclear about the city's future development plans. They wanted to seize the opportunity to make money, but feared any problem could cause the money spent to go in vain.
So before buying, they mainly had to gather some information.
To ascertain whether it was worth the investment here.
“Are there any good properties left? Try to buy them all,” Wu Heng sat down by her side.
“We've bought them, but we've also left a few upper-medium properties, to give other trade associations some chances and increase some activity,” Shanaela said.
Wu Heng nodded, “That's good. Recently, when going out, bring more guards and don't linger too much.”
“Is there danger?” Shanaela asked with wide eyes.
“I've seen more people at the port, just to avoid any enemies sneaking into the city,” Wu Heng said, not mentioning anything about the hero.
Saying this matter out loud, regardless of whether the other party had left or not, had a significant impact.
Felipa came over, placing his arm on his shoulder, “Don't worry, I'll protect Shanaela. No problem at all.”
“I'd be more worried if you were protecting me.”
Felipa paused and said, “What do you mean by that? Don't you trust the great Captain Felipa?”
“I do,” Wu Heng shrugged his shoulders.
“Good that you recognize quality,” Felipa stood up and then asked, “What do you want for lunch? I'll have the chef prepare it.”
“Anything is fine,” Shanaela said.
Wu Heng also nodded, indicating he had no specific requests.
Felipa bounced off to the kitchen and soon lunch was prepared. They all sat at the dining table and ate lunch.
In the afternoon, the two women left the City Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng also went upstairs, opened the boundary door in his study, and went to Zombie World.
Exiting his original dormitory, he headed to the warehouse and placed all the materials he had brought back inside.
Standing at the door, he waited for a while, and Li Yahong came over, looked at the food and materials piled up in the warehouse, and asked, “What are all these for?”
Being able to conjure food and materials was not the first time Li Yahong had seen it.
Although she did not understand what superpower it was, she knew it was Wu Heng's ability.
“Distribute the food everywhere, and all these copper coins and steel materials should be transported to the military factory,” Wu Heng said directly.
“Alright,” Li Yahong took out the walkie-talkie and started assigning tasks.
Soon, several trucks drove in, and the survivors started loading the goods, all of them onto the trucks.
The two of them stood by, quietly watching.
“Do you have any new animated movies or films?” Wu Heng suddenly remembered and asked.
“Yes, I've collected some for Xiao Xiao. They're on the computer, I'll copy them for you,” Li Yahong said with a smile.
The previous animated movies and films were all found by Li Yahong for Xiao Xiao.
Whenever she found any new animated movies and films, it was also Li Yahong who collected them for her.
“Alright.”
After that, the two went to Li Yahong's residence.
They copied the movies and animated films from the computer.
“Is Xiao Xiao nearby?” Li Yahong asked.
“No, are you looking for her?”
Li Yahong lowered her voice subconsciously and said, “No, there are still some little movies in the computer, do you want them?”
“Do you still have that hobby?”
“What hobby? I kept them for you, at your age, shouldn't you watch some movies to learn some experience?” Li Yahong said with a laugh, and she threw a flirtatious look.
“Watching them is so boring; if you get a chance, perform one for me.”
“Annoying.” Li Yahong rolled her eyes but was not angry.
“Be careful not to copy the little movies into it.”
“Just kidding; I don't have that stuff.”
“You've even learned to lie.”
The two sat on the bed, chatting while waiting for the copying of the movie to finish.
The sky also grew darker.
Wu Heng returned to the Otherworld.
Two days later.
Wu Heng was sitting in the study when Xiao Xiao flew back from outside.
“Uncle, the ships from the Port Association have docked, five ships in total, four level-18 professionals, and many level-15 ones as well,” Xiao Xiao exclaimed as if uncovering a great secret.
The headquarters' ships had finally arrived.
They had arranged four level-18 professionals, plus several level-15 professionals.
Together with Tapani and Gianvito from Netalee City, it was evident there was ample consideration for the investigation toward the Yeko Kingdom.
But heroes of the Snake Badge Consortium had also gone to the Yeko Kingdom; it was uncertain if both parties would meet and if these level-18 professionals could deter the other side.
“Where did they go?”
“They went to the association building, at the entrance, the Elf Elder even came out to greet them,” Xiao Xiao said.
Wu Heng nodded, indicating his understanding.
Thump thump thump~!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Captain Felipa's voice came in.
“Wu Heng, are you there? Someone from the association has come and asked you to go over.”
“I'll come now.” Wu Heng took the leather armor from the hanger, put it on, and walked out of the door.
At the door, Philippa hooked her arm, “I'll accompany you. It's so boring to stay at home.”
“The reinforcements from the headquarters have arrived; don't chat randomly when we get there. The rest of the matter largely has nothing to do with us,” Wu Heng advised.
“Don't worry; I'll wait for you at the entrance and won't go in.” Philippa also put on her leather armor and whistled towards one side.
The Green Parrot flew over, perching on her shoulder.
Together they left the City Lord's Mansion and headed to the association.
In the association meeting room, Wu Heng met the new investigation team from the headquarters.
The space was limited, not everyone was present, but at the opposite side of the conference table sat four level-18 professionals.
Two elves, one human, and one dwarf.
Behind them sat a few investigators with papers and pens, from the human and dwarves races.
After the door closed.
Tapani introduced, “Wu Heng, these are the investigation team sent over from the headquarters, led by Elder Daniel…”
Wu Heng glanced at everyone, bowed, and respectfully said, “I've met the Elder and the respected ones from the association.”
The individuals on the opposite side were also scrutinizing Wu Heng.
Whether it was through the newspapers or this case's investigation.
A suddenly emerged association member, who in just a few months, had become a popular figure in the headquarters.
In the headquarters, many didn't know some of the elder's names, but mention Wu Heng, and likely everyone knew who he was and what he had recently done.
This capability to market oneself truly wasn't comparable to others.
Now his level was low, but once he reached a higher level, undoubtedly his reputation would rise rapidly.
Heroes seemed to greatly value him too.
Once he reached level 18 and became an elder of the headquarters, it wouldn't be an issue.
“Regarding the matters in Netalee City, Tapani has already written it in the report, but I still wish for you to talk about it again, in more detail,” Daniel said, his gaze focused.
Wu Heng nodded, sat down across from them, and after organizing his language, he slowly recounted the whole event.
He explained from the discovery of the suspicious fleet, leading to the White Wings Gang that abducted women and children, then upon entering the city, the investigations led to the fake evidence of the Snake Badge Consortium.
Eventually, during the capturation of the White Wings Gang Leader, they found the elderly man impersonating the Snake Badge Consortium and during the interrogation, the city's military began their attack.
He detailed everything.
Mainly because he had already recounted it to Shanaela, Mini, and Xi Ligui, it had somewhat become smooth.
Daniel, expressionless, asked, “How did you discover that the elderly man was an impersonator?”
“I have a Ghost.”
“Regarding the Venerate Saint Sect, do you have any clues or anything to add?”
“This is the first time I've heard of this sect, but according to the results from the Wenshi, it's clear that the Venerate Saint Sect is secretly supporting the Crown Prince and orchestrated this incident.”
Daniel nodded, glanced at the investigators behind him.
After seeing that the content was recorded, he continued, “This time, the headquarters has already made arrangements, I shall tell you all.”
Wu Heng and Tapani's group focused, waiting for the headquarters' arrangements.
Daniel continued, “Tapani and Gianvito will continue to hold fort in Netalee City, ensuring the port is unobstructed, and the safety of our investigation team's rear. Island Lord Wu Heng ensures the security of the shipping routes and the transport and supply of logistics.”
Wu Heng slightly raised his eyebrows.
Did this mean he could return to Gold and Silver Island now?
