The airport was divided into two areas. One of them was a private airport, while the other was a public airport.
It was different from before the Cataclysm. After the Cataclysm, there were even fewer people who could own private jets. You couldn't own a private jet just because you had money. You had to have the corresponding strength or power.
This was a tacit unspoken rule.
After crossing the tarmac, several large trucks were parked in front of them, blocking most of the exit. Gao Peng glanced at them, then slightly changed his direction and continued walking out of the airport. He didn't call for anyone to pick him up.
Seeing that Gao Peng was avoiding them, one of the people in front of the trucks broke away from the group and walked over. After a brief hubbub, the rest of the people followed closely behind the first person.
"Hahaha, nephew, long time no see." The person at the front quickened his pace and laughed loudly.
"Mayor He," Gao Peng replied.
"Mayor He is now the president of the Freedom Alliance." A man in a suit behind He Wei coughed. When he saw Gao Peng looking over, he showed a very professional smile and nodded slightly as a greeting to Gao Peng.
"President and mayor are just empty titles. They're all for the sake of serving the people. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle He. "He Wei laughed heartily.
Since he had already said that, Gao Peng had no choice but to call him Uncle He.
"Haha, long time no see, nephew. I got someone to prepare a feast at the villa. It's not too far from the airport. There's nothing good to eat on the plane. Let's go eat. We haven't seen each other in a long time."
This was Magic City, the territory of the Freedom Alliance. Gao Peng naturally agreed.
"Let's go then." Gao Peng called out to the five students and followed him.
The large truck drove out of the airport. Half an hour later, they arrived at the villa in the suburbs.
The villa was built on top of a hill. At the foot of the hill was a medium-sized lake.
From the foot of the hill, there was a spacious stone path leading to the peak.
When they passed by the lake, Gao Peng felt that something in the lake was looking at him.
Turning his head, he saw two swollen eyes peering out from the surface of the lake, observing them.
"This is a familiar that the manor guards keep in the lake. After all, this is the outskirts of the city. Sometimes, wild monsters come here, and it's quite annoying," He Wei explained when he saw Gao Peng looking at the monster in the lake.
"Okay." Gao Peng nodded and retracted his gaze.
When they arrived at the villa, the villa was divided into a front yard and a backyard.
Those who came with He Wei were arranged to eat in the front yard. Only He Wei, Gao Peng, his five students, the waiters, cooks, and other logistics staff were in the back yard.
"Come, don't be so reserved. Just treat this place like your home," He Wei said to the students of Gao Peng.
That being said, how could he remain calm when a big shot who often appeared on TV was sitting in front of him?
In the past three years, the Freedom Alliance had frequently released all kinds of news to the outside world, developing like a raging fire.
"No need, no need …"
"Thank you, President."
After eating for a while, Cao Huan and the others didn't want to interrupt the conversation between the two big shots. They took the initiative to move to another table, leaving Gao Peng and He Wei some private space.
Gao Peng retracted his gaze and said calmly, "President, if you have anything to say, just say it."
He Wei laughed heartily. "Speaking of which, Southern Sky Group still has businesses here in the Freedom Alliance. Oh, right, do you still remember the Crocodile Spirit Swamp?"
Hearing He Wei's reminder, Gao Peng recalled his memories of the Crocodile Spirit Swamp. However, it wasn't that Gao Peng was forgetful. Ever since the Freedom Alliance had been established, Southern Sky Group's business with the Freedom Alliance had pretty much been completely cut off.
Under such circumstances, Gao Peng naturally wouldn't think too much about the Crocodile Spirit Swamp.
Because when the Freedom Alliance was established, many people had been born in the process.
These people were the first batch of people to follow He Wei. As for how much help they had provided in the process, Gao Peng wasn't sure.
But no matter how much help they had provided … Whether it was to buy people's hearts or to buy bones, He Wei wouldn't treat them badly.
The Freedom Alliance's territory wasn't that big. Compared to the entire Huaxia region, it was only the Jiangnan area.
But it wasn't small either. If it were to be compared to the outside world, the Jiangnan area was comparable to many countries, and they weren't small countries.
The Crocodile Spirit Swamp was a well-developed industry. Hunting, capturing, and breeding were integrated. There were many monsters inside, and most of them were amphibious. There were also many flying monsters.
Gao Peng didn't believe that no one would be tempted by such a big piece of cake.
"Someone begged me to give the Crocodile Spirit Swamp to him." He Wei picked up a piece of sashimi from the table and put it into his mouth.
"But I refused." He Wei's eyes narrowed into slits. He looked like a big tiger with its mouth wide open.
Slamming his chopsticks on the table, He Wei stared seriously into Gao Peng's eyes. "Because I know this is my nephew's business. Since you called me uncle, as your uncle, I can't touch my nephew's things."
"Thank you, Uncle He. Let me give you a toast." Gao Peng stood up to make a toast.
Gao Peng sighed inwardly. How troublesome … He wasn't afraid of using real weapons, but he was most afraid of this kind of soft cotton.
"I received accurate information that someone is planning to assassinate you in Mo Du, and there's more than one group."
Gao Peng nodded without showing any expression. It was really difficult for him to pretend to be afraid.
He Wei was a little disappointed that he couldn't see any other expression on Gao Peng's face. However, this emotion only appeared for a moment before it was suppressed.
"But don't worry. Mo Du is the Freedom Alliance's territory. I won't let anything happen to you on my territory."
Gao Peng understood what He Wei was implying. It was hard to say about the students he'd brought with him …
Of course, he wasn't afraid of danger. Even if there really were assassins, he wouldn't be afraid.
However, Gao Peng had to admit that he might not be able to protect the safety of his five students.
After all, killing people was easier than protecting them.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Peng said to He Wei, "Uncle He, there's something I need your help with."
"Oh? What is it? "
"I hope Uncle He can protect my five students. As for my safety, you don't have to worry about it. As a reward, I'll donate the Crocodile Spirit Swamp. I know Uncle He must have spent a lot of effort to help me keep the Crocodile Spirit Swamp. It's better not to make things difficult for Uncle He," Gao Peng said with a smile.
He Wei looked deeply at Gao Peng, then shook his head and laughed. "What's so difficult about that? Jiangnan isn't small. Whoever wants a monster hunting ground can open one themselves!"
