The annihilation of the Iceman Gang was definitely not a small matter for a small city like Aurora City. This was because the Iceman Gang was considered a force in Aurora City, but they were annihilated overnight. This time, the Iceman Gang was completely annihilated. They all joined the Ice Blade Gang. This time, the Iceman Gang completely ceased to exist.
Looking at this situation, all the gangs in Aurora City became nervous. Although they knew that the Iceman Gang and the Ice Blade Gang had always been enemies, now that the Ice Blade Gang had become rich, they naturally wanted to annihilate the Iceman Gang. This originally had nothing to do with them because the strength of these two gangs was almost the same. Even if they really wanted to fight to the death, in the end, it would only end with both sides suffering losses. On the contrary, they were happy to see this happen.
However, things went beyond their expectations. The Ice Blade Gang annihilated the Iceman Gang without losing any manpower at all. Now that the Iceman Gang was merged into the Ice Blade Gang, the Iceman Gang didn't lose much manpower. Moreover, most of the experts of the Ice Blade Gang were retained. The Ice Blade Gang now had the strength of two gangs and had become the largest gang in Aurora City. This was definitely not a good thing for other gangs.
In the past, a balance had been formed between the gangs in Aurora City. This was also the reason why the Ice Blade Gang and the Iceman Gang didn't really fight each other even though there was a huge hatred between them.
But now it was different. Now that the Ice Blade Gang's strength had increased greatly, this was equivalent to breaking this balance. This made the other gangs in Aurora City nervous. They didn't know what the Ice Blade Gang would do next.
The Ice Blade Gang didn't let them wait too long. They quickly reacted. Just three days after the Iceman Gang was annihilated, the Ice Blade Gang took action again. This time, they directly annihilated the Ice Arrow Gang.
The Ice Arrow Gang and the Ice Blade Gang had a huge grudge against each other. Moreover, the Ice Arrow Gang was weaker than the Ice Blade Gang, so it was normal for them to be destroyed. This time, the Ice Arrow Gang was destroyed just like the Iceman Gang. They were directly merged into the Ice Blade Gang. The casualties caused by both sides weren't very big. This time, the strength of the Ice Blade Gang increased once again. This time, not only did the gangs feel uneasy, even the major families felt that things were out of their expectations.
After Viper Third had a good talk with Zhao Hai that day, he was completely at ease. Just as Zhao Hai had said, he didn't think that if he betrayed Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai wouldn't touch him. That was enough. Therefore, Viper Third was in a good mood these few days. Not only did he contact Ice Wolf once and tell him about Zhao Hai's words, but he also began to restore the Wu family's businesses with all his might. The Wu Family originally had a lot of businesses. Although the Wu Family had always been famous for their staffs and artifacts, this didn't mean that they didn't do other businesses. In fact, the Wu Family was also doing other businesses, and they were doing very well.
However, now that Viper Third had taken over the Wu Family's businesses, he was in a difficult position. This was because the Wu Family's previous businesses all had a supply channel. And for the people of the Five Spirit Realm, this supply channel was their lifeblood. Naturally, they wouldn't give this supply channel to Viper Third. Therefore, Viper Third was in a difficult position.
But just yesterday, Zhao Hai sent someone to deliver a Spatial Equipment to Viper Third. After Viper Third received the Spatial Equipment, he discovered that there were a lot of good things inside.
Viper Third's so-called good things, in Zhao Hai's opinion, might be worthless. What were these so-called good things? The answer was very simple, they were food, vegetables, and fruits!
Aurora City didn't lack meat, beast meat, fish, and these things were abundant. However, Aurora City lacked food. This was because Aurora City was located at the northernmost part of the Arctic Continent. Additionally, there was very little land that was suitable for farming. Therefore, the food production here was very low, causing the food shortage here.
As for vegetables, it was almost impossible to see them in Aurora City. So what did the people of Aurora City eat? It was very simple, what they ate was a type of moss that grew under the snow. As for the taste of moss, you wouldn't want to use it. Unpalatable wasn't enough to describe it.
Naturally, the Patriarchs of the Great Clans wouldn't eat moss. What they ate were vegetables, but the quantity was very small. As for fruits, you wouldn't be able to see them in Aurora City, not even a single one.
It was precisely because of this situation that these things that were common in Zhao Hai's opinion were good things in Aurora City. It could even be said that they were luxuries.
However, these things weren't good things for Zhao Hai. Because of the high yield in the Secret Realm, the other two realms had Plant Masters stationed there and improved. In addition, Zhao Hai had also set up some formations in the two realms. The power source of these formations was the power of the Nature's Heart. This caused the power of nature in the two realms to be greatly improved. Because of this, Zhao Hai and the others had more food than they could eat. Even if they developed a large scale farming industry, they still wouldn't be able to finish it. Therefore, Zhao Hai and the others had no choice but to reduce the amount of land they planted every year, or even not plant at all. It wouldn't be too late to plant after eating some of the stored food.
But now, Aurora City was in an extreme shortage of food. Because of this, the price of food here was very expensive. Zhao Hai brought food here to sell. Although the consumption here wasn't too high, it would still allow Viper Three's status in Aurora City to rise higher and higher.
Moreover, Zhao Hai also understood that it wasn't just Aurora City. In the entire Arctic Continent, there weren't many places that didn't lack food. This was because the land that was suitable for farming was really too little. Therefore, it was very promising to operate these things here.
It was precisely because he discovered these things that Viper Three felt that his spring had come. He was born in the marketplace, so he was very clear about the importance of these things to the entire Aurora City. Now that Zhao Hai gave him these things, it was definitely a good thing for him to do this kind of business.
Viper Three didn't care where these things came from. Therefore, he was now preparing to carry out some reforms in the Wu Family's business. He would directly change some of the shops to sell food, vegetables, and fruits.
Just as Viper Three was planning these things, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, the Lin Family's Patriarch has invited you to a banquet on the first floor of the Ice Jade Pavilion. He invites you to attend the banquet."
When Viper Three heard this voice, he knew that this person was the newly appointed housekeeper of the Wu Family. His name was Jia Yu. Jia Yu was a person with a legendary aura. He was originally a servant of the Wu Family, and was also the son of a servant. In the Wu Family, he was very pampered and was even given the surname Wu.
However, Jia Yu was driven out of the Wu Family because of one matter. This matter wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. It was that Jia Yu had an affair with a distant daughter of the Wu Family. Moreover, she even had a child with the daughter.
This matter was later known by the Wu Family. Naturally, the Wu Family was very angry. This was because even if Jia Yu was given the surname Wu, he was still a servant. Now, a servant like you actually slept with the daughter of the Wu Family and even had a child with her. Where would the Wu Family put their face?
However, when the Wu Family wanted to deal with Jia Yu, the Young Lady threatened to kill herself. In addition, Jia Yu was indeed loyal and devoted to the Wu Family and had done a good job. It could be said that he had made great contributions to the Wu Family. In the end, the Wu Family's heart softened and they made a decision to let Jia Yu and the Young Lady go. However, they drove them out of the Wu Family and left them to fend for themselves.
Although Jia Yu and the daughter of the Wu Family became husband and wife, the two lost their source of income. They didn't go anywhere else and could only live in Aurora City. For a while, the two's life became very difficult.
Originally, Jia Yu had a lot of friends in the Wu Family. Moreover, these friends could help him, so his life wouldn't be too bad. However, Jia Yu was a very competitive person. After he left the Wu Family, he didn't need the help of his friends. This made his life difficult.
At that time, Viper Three was only a small leader. He wasn't a hall master yet. By chance, he met Jia Yu and discovered that Jia Yu was a talent. However, he didn't need Jia Yu's help at that time. However, Viper Three liked to make friends with Jia Yu. Because of this, he often helped Jia Yu. He even found a job for Jia Yu. Although this job didn't earn a lot of money, it was enough for Jia Yu to support his family.
Afterwards, Jia Yu's wife, who was the young lady of the Wu Family, was molested by several hooligans from other gangs when she went out. Coincidentally, Viper Three encountered them. At that time, the young lady of the Wu Family was about to give birth. After being molested by those hooligans, her fetus was affected and she almost died on the street. When Viper Three saw this situation, he immediately rescued the young lady of the Wu Family and brought her to his hall. He invited a doctor to treat her and allowed her to smoothly give birth to a fat boy. From this matter, Jia Yu was grateful to Viper Three. Because in Jia Yu's view, Viper Three had saved the lives of his wife and child. Therefore, he swore to repay Viper Three.
However, Viper Three was at most a hall master. Even if Jia Yu wanted to repay Viper Three, he couldn't do anything. At that time, Viper Three didn't have any use for Jia Yu. Therefore, Jia Yu had been doing his own job to support his family.
However, Jia Yu was still capable. Slowly, he was put in an important position and became the shopkeeper of a small business in the city. His power wasn't small, and he earned a lot of money. It could be said that his future was bright.
But at this time, Viper Three became the leader of the Ice Blade Gang. Not long after, he became the Patriarch of the She Family and took over the Wu Family's business. This made Jia Yu's spirit rise. He immediately ran to Viper Three and became his manager.
Although he was the manager, Viper Three was very fond of him. He even introduced Jia Yu to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also discovered that Jia Yu was also a talent. However, he was very loyal to Viper Three. He was willing to be Viper Three's manager. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't try to win him over. Letting him help Viper Three was also good.
Zhao Hai was very clear that the struggles between the higher-ups and the conflicts between gangs were completely different. Viper Three had just become the Patriarch, so he didn't have much experience in this aspect. Zhao Hai was afraid that he would need to suffer a few losses before he could understand what was going on.
But now that Jia Yu was here, Zhao Hai was relieved. Jia Yu was the Wu Family's manager, so he was very clear about this matter. With Jia Yu helping Viper Three, Viper Three would be able to take fewer detours.
Now that Viper Three heard Jia Yu's voice, he immediately said, "Old Jia, come in." Jia Yu complied, then he pushed the door and walked in. Viper Three looked at Jia Yu and said with some dissatisfaction, "Old Jia, it's not that I want to scold you, but didn't I tell you that you don't need to be polite with me? Sit down and tell me what's going on."
Jia Yu didn't sit down, instead he said, "Master, this etiquette can't be ignored. I heard that the Lin Family's Patriarch, Lin Jue, invited you. It seems like it's only the two of you. But in my opinion, this Lin Jue might be a representative of another family. They looked for Master for two reasons. First, they wanted to see if Master would stand on the side of the other families or the side of the City Lord's Mansion. Second, it might be because of the recent actions of the Ice Blade Gang, which made the other families vigilant. They don't know what the Ice Blade Gang wants to do, so they invited Master to have a meal to see what you're thinking."
When Viper Three heard Jia Yu, he couldn't help but nod, "It's possible. Mister has already instructed us to stand on the side of the other families. But at the same time, we want them to guarantee that if the City Lord makes things difficult for us, they will help us. If they don't, then we will stand on the City Lord's side. But in my opinion, they will definitely help us. After all, there's no benefit in pushing us to the City Lord's side. As for the recent actions of the Ice Blade Gang, it's actually very simple. The Ice Blade Gang doesn't want to unify the entire Aurora City, so I don't have anything to hide."
When Jia Yu heard Viper Three's words, he couldn't help but stare. He had just arrived at Viper Three's side, so he didn't know much about Zhao Hai. However, he had some understanding of the other families in the city. He was very clear that if Viper Three really wanted to unify the Aurora City's gangs, then he might have already started to affect the interests of the other families.
There were a lot of gangs in Aurora City, and some of them had some relations with the other families. This was because although the other families seemed to have boundless glory on the surface and were a little overbearing when doing things, they didn't do anything out of line. But in reality, the other families had a lot of things that couldn't be exposed to the public. These matters weren't something that the other families would do themselves. They would hand these matters over to the gangs under their control. If Viper Three really wanted to unify the gangs in Aurora City, then he would have to touch the gangs supported by the other families. For the other families, this wasn't a good thing.
Because of this, Jia Yu immediately said, "Master, you can't. The gangs in the city aren't that easy to unify. There are a lot of people from the other families in the gangs. If you want to unify the gangs, then it's the same as offending the other families. Master, please reconsider."
