Chapter 373 Using thieves to fight thieves...
At this moment, in a dark corner of the city of ruins, a group of people are gathered.
"Hahaha... Bai Chi! He's a complete idiot!"
A short man with a hooked nose laughed loudly, full of sarcasm, "What kind of place is Dragon City? It's a den of dragons and tigers! He's just a mere sixth-level cultivator, leading a few hundred people and thinking he can break into Dragon City to steal treasures? He's practically courting death! He even wants to drag us down with him! He deserves to die!"
“Who says otherwise! It’s a good thing we didn’t join this wave.” The others echoed in agreement.
Bai Chi is the spy leader of Sunset City stationed in the City of Ruins.
That guy who was tricked by the monkey into leading hundreds of spies to their deaths on the earth dragon turtle.
The City of Ruins is different from Dragon City.
In Dragon City, everyone worshipped City Lord Xiao Yu like a god and obeyed him absolutely.
In Dragon City, Xiao Yu is the absolute ruler!
Anyone who dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy, or to cheat and shirk responsibility, is courting death.
However, the city of ruins is different.
To be precise, the City of Ruins is similar to the City of Flames and the City of Black Soil.
The five city lords could only govern their own cities.
However, there are still many smaller factions around the city of ruins that are attached to it.
These smaller factions are countless, and their combined population far exceeds that of the five major cities!
Among them are many scheming and despicable people, treacherous and vile villains.
Various hostile or neutral forces from the surrounding areas, such as Sunset City, Ghost Lantern City, and Never-Sleeping City, have also planted many spies here, who frequently cause sabotage.
The Lord of Xueye City was utterly helpless against them.
The people gathered here tonight are the leaders of various forces, or the heads of spies who have infiltrated this place.
“Dealing with a powerful force like Dragon City won’t work with force! We need to outsmart them!” The short, hooked-eyed man tapped his forehead with his finger, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Chief Firefly is absolutely right!" the crowd immediately began to praise.
This guy named Ying Gou is from another force, just like Sunset City, which has a ninth-level expert in charge: Ghost Lantern City.
Hozuki Castle may not have much else, but it has a lot of water, hence its nickname "Water Castle".
Previously, the City of Ruins was located in the desert and was very short of water, so it could only trade with the City of Ghost Lanterns.
But now, the city of ruins has a huge reservoir, so it will not be short of water for the time being.
As a result, Ghost Lantern City lost a super big customer. When Ghost Lantern City Lord Mizuki found out about this, he was furious and hated Dragon City with a passion.
Of course, other forces were also extremely dissatisfied with Dragon City.
The various industries in the city of ruins all have their own profit-sharing arrangements.
Longcheng's arrival completely disrupted the existing order and seized their interests.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
These people are all wicked and despicable.
Open and aboveboard tactics can't defeat Longcheng.
They had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics to harass Dragon City.
"Then, does Chief Firefly Dog have any good ideas?" a faction leader asked.
"Hehe!" The short, hook-nosed man chuckled smugly, "Always remember, robbing is the most foolish thing you can do! And my men have trained a large group of expert thieves; they've already infiltrated Dragon City. Someone just reported back that they've amassed over 50,000 Dragon Coins today!"
"Fifty thousand dragon coins? That's an astronomical sum! It can buy so many good things!" Upon hearing this, the leaders' eyes lit up, filled with greed.
Keep in mind that they are all only fourth or fifth-tier enhancers, some even only third-tier.
For them, several thousand dragon coins are an astronomical figure, let alone tens of thousands.
"Fifty thousand is nothing! Tomorrow, we can earn a hundred thousand, even a million! Dragon City is a treasure trove! Hahaha..." Firefly waved his hand dismissively, but the smugness on his lips was impossible to hide.
His team of skilled thieves.
Most of them are not strong enough, only at the second or third rank.
However, their techniques were all top-notch.
Even a fifth or sixth-level expert could easily steal their money as they walked past.
In the entire city of ruins, apart from the legendary King of theft, the most skilled thieves are those under his command!
Upon entering Dragon City, these people immediately noticed that all the wealthy people went to the exchange office to make their money. They only needed to send one person with a special ability to easily see how much money the other party had exchanged.
Then, by sending a few spies or thieves to cooperate, they can easily steal tens of thousands of yuan.
This would not only deal a huge blow to Dragon City's reputation.
At the same time, these spies can also make an extra fortune.
Tens of thousands of energy stones! That's an astronomical number!
"We got it!"
Everyone exchanged glances, a sinister glint in their eyes.
They've already seen a great opportunity to make a fortune in Dragon City!
……
Dragon City, outer city, commercial street.
"Please be quiet, everyone. We understand how you feel. Please give us some time."
At the patrol station on the commercial street, a group of customers who had lost money were blocking the road and making a scene.
Demanding an explanation from Longcheng, the patrol officers responsible for maintaining order could only patiently dissuade them.
"Hmph! How are you expecting us to calm down? It wasn't you who lost the money! So many of us lost money in Dragon City, what are you Dragon City people doing? You have to give us an explanation!"
"That's right! The 10,000 yuan I just exchanged has been stolen! Longcheng has to compensate me!"
Perhaps because Longcheng has a good reputation, and these people were in a fit of anger, the argument escalated.
Just then, a patrolman shouted, "Everyone, stop arguing! Our director is here!"
Too many people have lost money today; the situation is very strange, and the junior patrol officers simply cannot handle it.
We can only let Director Heima come up with a solution.
The black horse had just arrived with the monkey when it saw this scene, and immediately frowned.
He swept his gaze across the chaotic scene, unleashing his aura as a half-step seventh-level expert.
In an instant, all the customers present retreated several meters away, no longer daring to make a sound.
However, one of the men, who had a sleazy appearance, sneered and suddenly shouted, "Longcheng is beating people! Longcheng is protecting thieves, and now they even want to use force to oppress us! Everyone, come and judge for yourselves! Longcheng is bullying us!"
Another man with a pointed face and monkey-like features also shouted, "Dragon City is protecting thieves and even hitting people!"
As they spoke, the two of them actually fell to the ground, pretending to have been beaten.
At this moment, although it is night, the commercial street is illuminated by glowing insects.
Therefore, quite a few people still pass through the commercial street one after another.
Upon hearing the commotion, a number of people immediately gathered around.
"Dragon City is actually bullying people with its power? Is this what Dragon City is like?" Seeing everything on the scene, some people who were unaware of the truth immediately looked at Black Horse and his group with wariness.
"Sigh, I used to think Longcheng was upright and trustworthy, but now..."
The others, who were already taking a chance on Longcheng, suddenly became less convinced.
