Chapter 330: Chapter 64 New King
“Beast King” Yu Longqing had “One General and Three Strategists.”
“One General” referred to Zhang Shan, a powerful practitioner at the Tao Foundation Stage. The most capable fighters under Yu Longqing all followed Zhang Shan.
“Three Strategists” referred to three strategists responsible for devising plans for Yu Longqing, each overseeing a separate industry.
The sides, one military and one scholarly, were the four most crucial parts of the “Beast King’s” power.
Half of Zhang Shan’s people, a group of thugs, stayed at the Human Face Villa, and the other half scattered across Datong Prefecture to guard Yu Longqing’s enterprises.
The three strategists, one responsible for the business of Implants, another for matters related to the Exotic Beast Breeding, and the last for issues concerning Exotic Beast Food.
As the Human Face Villa was Yu Longqing’s largest Exotic Beast Breeding Farm and Exotic Beast Food Plantation, all three strategists were usually stationed in the villa.
When the news of Yu Longqing’s death reached them, Human Face Villa had not encountered any issues yet, as many people didn’t believe it.
Only when two exotic beasts’ bodies were transported back and displayed in the city did the Villa start to collapse completely, and internal conflicts ensued:
After Zhang Shan died, his group of thugs, headless, were pulled apart by the three strategists, and they commenced a bloody slaughter within the villa!
In the end, only one side survived, led by a strategist named Yang Zhe.
“Welcome, Ghost King!”
At the villa’s main gate, Yang Zhe and a large group of people waited there.
As he shouted, the hundreds behind him also cried out:
“Welcome, Ghost King—”
After finishing, Yang Zhe and the hundred people bowed together towards Li Fei.
Li Fei quietly observed the people before him.
He remained silent, and they kept bowing.
“Now, are you the only ones left alive in the villa?”
Li Fei asked.
Hearing this, Yang Zhe still bowing, lifted his head to look at Li Fei: “Yes.”
He appeared to be in his thirties, with a naturally smiling face.
It was this amicable-looking person who had killed the other two factions in the internal fight at Human Face Villa and survived to the end.
Li Fei had previously understood the situation at Human Face Villa; it generally housed over five hundred people, but now only these hundred were left.
This meant, in just four days, over three hundred people had died in the internal strife!
Li Fei felt that even if the four major forces directly attacked Human Face Villa, probably not this many would have died here.
“I have already organized all the resources of Human Face Villa and all the enterprises controlled by Yu Longqing for Ghost King to review.”
Saying this, Yang Zhe pulled a thick booklet from his chest, took a few steps forward, and with a bow, handed it with both hands to Li Fei.
The resources of Human Face Villa were not problematic, as it was evident for anyone who took over the villa.
But the enterprises controlled by Yu Longqing, only insiders like Yang Zhe knew the details, and outsiders couldn’t fully understand, such as hidden accounts, invisible assets, and concealed networks, etc.
Yang Zhe’s greatest value lay precisely here; he was now presenting his “value” to Li Fei.
Li Fei glanced at the booklet in the other’s hand but didn’t reach out to take it:
“You’ve completely grasped Yu Longqing’s leftovers, you could have completely offered these to one of the four major external forces, why choose me?”
Yang Zhe continued to hold out his hands:
“It’s naturally because the Ghost King’s influence is deep as the sea, and following you offers the most promise!”
He spoke very sincerely.
Li Fei didn’t confirm or deny and took the booklet from his hand.
Seeing this, the hundred people behind Yang Zhe sighed in relief.
Li Fei flipped through the booklet in his hands and couldn’t help but be amazed by the wealth and resources Yu Longqing had accumulated:
Cash totaling over 6.73 million yuan!
Deposits in various Silver Banks totaled over 56.78 million yuan!
Various Elixirs required for Martial Arts Cultivation, weapons of all sorts, innumerable shields, Anti-stabbing Clothes, and more.
Over three hundred full sets of Bullet-Proof Shields.
Revolvers and Rifles totaled over five hundred, with over 100,000 universal bullets.
Over a dozen boxes of Hand Grenades, totaling over a thousand!
Four heavy machine guns, with over 100,000 rounds of ammunition for the machine guns!
Two 75mm caliber howitzers with twelve shells!
At this point, Li Fei was genuinely astonished.
So the rumors were true; the civilian forces in this era could actually get hold of cannons…
Further down, it recorded the number and types of Exotic Beasts bred at Human Face Villa, the various herbs, livestock, etc., used for making Exotic Beast Food.
Besides Human Face Villa, Yu Longqing had established three Exotic Beast Food Plantations within Datong Prefecture.
There were also gambling houses, brothels, Black Market Elixir trades, arms trading, and other kinds of businesses.
Although the main business was Exotic Beast Food, that didn’t mean Yu Longqing didn’t dabble in other industries.
The booklet finally recorded a list of officials bought over the years by the “Beast King” and spies planted elsewhere!
Li Fei hadn’t expected Yang Zhe to even include this list in the booklet and hand it all over to him.
He put away the booklet, looking at Yang Zhe:
“By handing all these to me, aren’t you afraid I might betray you after crossing the river?”
Yang Zhe’s smile remained unchanged, and as he bent over, he said:
“If the Ghost King wishes to better receive and control everything left by the ‘Beast King,’ using me is the best choice. Moreover, my value isn’t just limited to what this booklet can show.”
