Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Jace's Retaliation

Elvie shops, Dark Moon City at this time the most hot selling shops. Looking at the endless stream of guests, Brook almost smiled his mouth can not close. This time, just such a trip to the merchants, perhaps it was the total amount of half a year of his previous self.

  Standing next to Lin Peng, who was squinting and smiling, Brook nodded with a faint smile. This time, really thanks to Lin Peng's blessing, unexpectedly, on the financial officer and the city official whole out so a 'financial crisis', the biggest beneficiary or their own.

  Joyce stood beside Lin Peng with his back hunched, the rough Chinese character face, actually is respect. This chief, this time after the return not only the ranger's residence changed, and ... also seems to have put on the official seal.

  As long as it is within the jurisdiction of Dark Moon City, it seems to always be able to do things with the best treatment. At the same time, it will not be suppressed by those magistrates city defence teams and the like. It seemed that ... the days were getting better and better!

  'Brooke, to be honest, you really don't have much business talent like this!' Lin Peng looked at this overcrowded merchant shop with some speechlessness with a slight shake of his head. It seemed that those minor nobles as well as some commoners were all scrambling to buy something. Although there were a few brawny men from the city defence team standing at the entrance, those minor nobles were not afraid of them. Therefore, the entire shop was always that chaotic.

  Brook froze slightly and looked at Lin Peng with some confusion.

  At this moment, several people were standing on the aisle of the first floor, looking at the rowdy scene below Although it wasn't pretty, at least business was good.

  Lin Peng clasped his hands on his chest and smiled heatedly, ''Including the business of the entire Dark Moon City, it seems to have gone to extremes. Either, it's too aristocratic, or ... it's too plebeian!'

  'Hehe, Chris as well as the Furen family's shops, I've gone to see them all. They, moreover, sell well to the aristocrats. And you ... are too plebeian! If you really pass this period of time, then ... the Foran family's shops can definitely catch up with you. At least ... your financial power is not their match, am I right!'

  Eyes gleaming as he looked at Brooke, Lin Peng already had a rough idea in his mind. At the very least, it seemed that Brooke didn't have any more resources to acquire in that what's-his-name family. That was why ... he had been assigned to come to such a place as a businessman.

Brooke froze for a moment before smiling bitterly. With a slight nod, he acknowledged. If we wait for this period of time to slow down, then, the Fulen family has more such shops, and ... they have even better noble shops.

  Profits, definitely several times their own.

  Lin Peng pursed his lips and nodded once, turning to continue to say: ''If I were me, this wouldn't have happened. Hehehe ... whether it's the human world, or the land of the demon race, they all talk about a kind of face. Even those small nobles, if you give them enough face, they can even look at you as if you were their own father! Hmph ... we ... can ... do ... this ... that... ...'

  After whispering a few words in Brooke's ear in a small voice, Brooke instantly seemed to have obtained a heavy treasure. Immediately taking out an extremely thin piece of leather paper, this was a magical item that was really difficult to bear without considerable financial resources.

  While using a quill pen to quickly reporter, he constantly nodded his head. The eyes that looked towards Lin Peng were even more like that of a true god.

  After a long time, when the two ended their whispers, Brooke laughed out loud, ''Unexpectedly, Lord Lin Peng has such a talent for business. En ... I now really doubt that you are one of those chimeras, and only that kind of chimera can have such a high IQ. Or, are you a downtrodden royal son?'

  Lin Peng froze and shook his head with a bitter smile. After looking at this fat almost catching up with the pig, somewhat breathlessly underestimating a curse, he said, 'En... commercially, we are now definitely steadily winning over the Fulen family and them, but ... strength wise, we still can co-operate well again. Dark Moon City lacks a lot of magic items, as well as some alchemy materials, which ... you should know!'

  Brooke just contemplated for a moment and immediately nodded, 'All of these things, I can help you find all of them. If, there's anything else that I need help with, within the scope of my ability, I'll definitely do it!'

  Looking at the serious-faced Brooke, Lin Peng smiled with a big determination in his heart. At least ... when a confrontation of strength really occurs later, his side can at least be pressed down once again.

  Recently, Dark Moon City was very quiet, and it seemed that even the Chris family was a bit surprisingly quiet. There were no extra movements, and even more so, there was not a trace of sadness. As if, that Daniel was not their successor at all.

  Of course, only Lin Peng knows that the dark current of Dark Moon City is getting more and more intense. It seems ... to be at the point where the tide will soon rise. Perhaps, a single conflict could cause a riot as well.

  Walking on the road back to the palace, Lin Peng had also been thinking with his head down. In the end, what other kind of important things did they have that made them not even make the slightest move in such a situation.

  However, as soon as he walked to his lakeside hut, he immediately had another premonition. It seemed as if, things were going to happen soon.

  This thirty to forty feet wide and long lake emitted a faint water vapour after being illuminated by the red moon. It gave Lin Peng a cool feeling, and a hint of coolness on his black samurai uniform.

  On the drawbridge that the house extended to think about the lake, sat Angelina. A pair of jade-like small and delicate jade feet stretched into the water, slowly swinging. After seeing Lin Peng return, Angelina laughed delicately and turned a little serious: 'Brother ... it seems that Sister Xiya and the others have something important to find you again!'

  'Eh?' Lin Peng froze slightly, sobering up once more amidst Angelina's innocent eyes, turning to smile bitterly as he walked towards the side of the council chamber. Looking at the somewhat lonely Angelina, there seemed to be some indebtedness in his heart.

  At least, one did not have more time to accompany her. And ... there was nothing better that could make her happy.

  However, when he walked into the council chamber matter, instead, he speedily turned into that calm and collected image. Inside, Xiya, Erin, as well as Nadas and an old man sat, with a face of indignation.

  When he saw Lin Peng walk in, Nadas seemed to have met his saviour and stood up directly: 'You're finally back, hey, those bastards from Dark Moon City, it seems that they've made another move!'

  Lin Peng found a seat and directly sat down, next to him was already a cup of something that looked like tea but didn't look like tea. Looking at the familiar trio, as well as the somewhat curmudgeonly thin old man, Lin Peng nodded slightly.

  His eyes narrowed, and the old man's wrinkled face was actually in his eyes.

  'This, is the mayor of the town of Kulau, which is attached to Dark Moon City. This time, he came here to rescue!' Xiya directly asked the question, and the hint of coldness in her eyes caused even Lin Peng to beam a little.

Erin coldly hummed and said, ''Yesterday, Magistrate Kappa suddenly ran to Kulau Town with a group of people, saying that he was going to catch some kind of ranger thieves or something like that. And ... all of a sudden, it controlled almost all of the officials in Kulau Town. Just the town mayor Rad was left to run out, and it seems ... that they still did it on purpose. This ... is clearly like a provocation for us! Hum ...'

  After humming heavily, Irene stared at Lin Peng with a deadly stare, as if she was about to see through him right away.

  What happened was actually very simple, that is, the town mayor Rad was a person from Hia's lineage, and those officials were also absolutely controlled in Hia's hands. But ... now they used such violent means and directly inserted a foot across into it. Then ... that means that it has already started to challenge Hea from this aspect.

  Rad looked at Lin Peng with some doubt, not understanding why the staff officer was such a young man. Even more so, he didn't understand why such a young person gave himself a feeling of danger.

  Closing his eyes, he clasped his two hands together and flicked his fingers. After the flames whirred up, they danced merrily on his fingers. Just such a move alone made Rad somewhat astonished. 

  At such an age, he knew how to control the elements. At the very least, it was also an expert whose talent was extremely powerful.

  After a slight calculation in his mind, he said, ''I want to know, the entire situation of Kurau Town. Don't even miss out on who's officials are stealing who's daughters-in-law, the more detailed the better!' The first sentence of opening his eyes directly caused both Shiya and Ayrin's white, jade-like carved faces to blush scarlet.

  This guy, seems to be a bit excessive.

  Xiya thought as such, but, seeing Lin Peng's undistracted eyes, and pure expression seemed to really want to know in general.

  Rad froze and turned his head to look at Xiya and Ayrin. Upon seeing the consent of the two heads, only then did he slowly detail everything about Kulau Town. Overall, Kulau Town seemed to be a dispensable place, but such a place was the most important place in Darkmoon City.

  The minerals there are the richest and most stored veins in the entire Dark Empire. It seems ... that a lot of crafts and the like, or the processing of iron weapons, come from the output of the mines in Kulau Town, as well as the large swaths of mangroves and swamps there.

  So, the importance about Kulau Town is definitely comparable to that crystal mine. After watching Rad seemingly put down his old face and directly talk about those sardonic things like stealing a man, Lin Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  By the looks of it, that's what Jess was thinking. You took away my crystal mine, then ... I will take away your biggest mine. Let you ... not even have the idea of having the capital to fight me anymore! 

  And after hearing those anecdotes, Lin Peng thought of a good note. After faintly smiling, he got up and said, ''I already understand, huh ... Speaking of which, a small matter. It is not just falsely accusing you guys! En, tomorrow, I will go over with you! How about it?'

  In the midst of Rad's somewhat surprised eyes, Shiya and Ayrin looked at each other and nodded slightly. It seemed like, originally, this was the way it was supposed to be.
