Chapter 440: Chapter 367 Liu Zheng: I See President Yuan Still Has Charm

"Great Jiang Mountain?"

"Great Jiang Mountain?"

Liu Zheng and Yuan Baoer raised the same question simultaneously.

The former didn’t know what Great Jiang Mountain was, the latter didn’t comprehend why Great Jiang Mountain was getting involved with Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse’s affairs.

"Great Jiang Mountain is a demon power, led by Ghost King Yoshitsune and his Think Tank Cimu Tongzi, along with the Four Great Ghost Kings: Xiong Tongzi, Golden Bear Child, Star Bear Child, and Tiger Bear Child, as well as a bunch of Little Demons."

"Years ago, they also ran a bathhouse in the city, focusing on flesh trade. After offending someone powerful, they were driven out of the city."

"Great Jiang Mountain originally wanted to claim a stake on Bathhouse Street too, but they lost a significant number of elites when they were expelled, which is why Granny Tang managed to repel them."

Uncle Liu said.

"Your grandfather knew about this, and that’s why he became interested in Bathhouse Street. But he learned from Great Jiang Mountain’s lesson, so he cautioned your father before his death that they must not act rashly without adequate preparation."

"No wonder my dad kept murmuring, ’Not enough, still not enough.’"

Yuan Baoer said with sudden realization.

"If your father were still alive, he would have accumulated enough by now. Such a pity, such a pity. However, you’re still accomplished, fulfilling the wish of three generations of your family."

Uncle Liu said with a gratified expression.

"Then Uncle Liu, do you know where Great Jiang Mountain’s people are now?"

Yuan Baoer asked.

"Well..."

Uncle Liu glanced at Liu Zheng and seemed hesitant for a moment.

"Mr. Liu is one of us, Uncle Liu, just speak freely."

Yuan Baoer spoke without hesitation.

Although she couldn’t rule out the possibility that Liu Zheng’s rescue might be a trap, at least he was her lifesaver right now, a mighty ally at that.

In times of crisis and survival, pushing away a life-saving ally is tantamount to asking for a quicker death.

"Alright, I heard it from a coal delivery man. People from Great Jiang Mountain have fenced off a small mountain in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and are involved in breeding humans."

After a moment of hesitation, Uncle Liu said.

"Ten Thousand Great Mountains? They dare to stake out territory there without fearing becoming fodder for Gu Worms?"

Yuan Baoer exclaimed in surprise.

"Those barbarians aren’t madmen or someone who uses people as food for Gu Worms on sight. If that were the case, they would have been wiped out by the Great Demon Kings long ago."

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"Besides, I heard that the demons of Great Jiang Mountain used a treasure bought from the black market to negotiate the mountain from those tribes. Whether it’s a lease or a purchase, that’s not very clear."

"Ten Thousand Great Mountains, eh? That’s going to be tricky."

Yuan Baoer said with a headache.

If the city is treated as the urban district of Metropolis, then Bathhouse Street is on its outskirts.

And Ten Thousand Great Mountains is already close to the borderlands.

In fact, there are rumors that inside Ten Thousand Great Mountains there are passages leading out of Metropolis.

Of course, most people who know of this rumor predominantly consider it just that - a rumor.

City Hall might turn a blind eye to some matters, but when it comes to border-related issues, they are absolutely unforgiving, enacting a policy of ’kill rather than let go’.

In places nearly at the fringes of City Hall’s power, local customs are naturally quite primitive.

Although those wild people aren’t too difficult to deal with for those not vying for territory, there are still many Ancient Relic Species in Ten Thousand Great Mountains lacking intelligence - it’s these creatures one truly has trouble with.

"Fight!"

After her expression changed several times, Yuan Baoer clenched her teeth and declared.

In the face of trouble, one must be stable and yet ruthless.

If others demean you and you don’t fight back, soon enough, more slaps will come your way.

"Uncle Liu, you personally lead the team."

Yuan Baoer said.

Although Uncle Liu can no longer fight, he’s rich in experience; with him leading the team, there’s at least no worry about communication issues.

"Alright."

Uncle Liu nodded slightly.

He raised Yuan Baoer from infancy, teaching her all his skills—as good as a real father. Now that his "daughter" was being defiled, how could he not stand up for her?

From a selfish standpoint, if the bathhouse falls into the hands of Zhen Xinzhai, his retirement life would also be insecure.

"Mr. Liu, I have an unreasonable request."

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Baoer turned to Liu Zheng.

"President Yuan, please speak."

He replied.

"I would like to ask Doctor Nile to accompany Uncle Liu and the others on this trip."

Yuan Baoer said.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He and Doctor Nile had agreed to come to Bathhouse Street, and they won’t deviate easily from that, let alone venture to Ten Thousand Great Mountains - a place that’s even more dangerous.

Not to mention that the two were merely friends, even if Doctor Nile were his subordinate, Liu Zheng would not be so capricious.

Doctor Nile, upon hearing his stance, subtly nodded in agreement.

Niu Ma indeed wasn’t wrong about this young man, he is a good one.

"The thing is, I’ve observed that the young man from Great Jiang Mountain seems very wary of Doctor Nile, so I was hoping that Doctor Nile could lend us a hand."

Yuan Baoer explained.

"Doctor Nile is my friend, and he’s here only to help out, all decisions are his to make."

Liu Zheng said, shaking his head.

"What do you think, Doctor Nile?"

Yuan Baoer looked expectantly at Doctor Nile.

"I’m sorry, President Yuan, but this is a favor I cannot grant."

Doctor Nile said, shaking his head.

Being a Mummy, he didn’t really have much need for anything.

Now that the sewer has become his and Sasha’s escape route, the only things he cares about, in the absence of divine decrees, are Sasha’s recovery of intelligence and the extermination of that traitor.
