The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 35

[Chapter 5 News]

Li Anping only got a note with the address from the convenience store owner. Although I still don’t know where the Lone Wolf went, I at least know how to check.

People from multiple factions came here? What does they have to do with the withdrawal of Lone Wolf? Li Anping was confused. He still didn’t understand the distribution of power in Emerald City. So he could only pick up the note given to him by his boss, take a taxi and leave.

Twenty minutes later, a bottle of wine appeared in front of him.

“Flashpoint wine…it’s wine again…” Li Anping couldn’t help but think of Zhongdu City’s volcanic wine. But this flash point wine is much smaller than the volcano. The store door is only the size of a convenience store, and inside is a passage leading to the basement level. The entire hotel looked very quiet from the outside, and there seemed to be not many guests.

Li Anping walked down the passage and came to the underground floor. He opened the door and found that the entire wine was much larger and more upscale than he had imagined. There were not as many people in the wine as in other wines, but there were still quite a few. Most of them were sitting together in twos and threes talking about something. He walked to the stage, casually ordered a glass of wine and sat down.

Then Li Anping pricked up his ears and heard a few words.

“Have you heard that the Qilin Group and Zhongyi Hall are fighting again? Tsk, tsk, that Fang Qi single-handedly singled out the four kings of Zhongyi Hall and beat them so hard that they didn’t even dare to leave the door. Now Zhongyi Hall’s face is so embarrassed It’s all a shame.”

“Well, after all, this Fang Qi is a southern barbarian, not a native of Daxia. Although I admire his skill, I still hope that a Daxia man will defeat him.” “I’m looking forward to it, Zhongyi

. If all the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hall lose, will the rest of the Zhongyi Hall be able to endure it? There are also people from Violet, they are not vegetarians either.”

This wine is obviously different from ordinary wine. There is neither a dance floor nor lonely men and women. Some of the people who come here drink, but even more drink. Men, women, old and young, almost everyone seems to be there.

All kinds of people talk about all kinds of things. But they didn’t expect that there was Li Anping here who would listen to everything they talked about. Or do they not care whether they are heard or not?

However, most people are currently talking about the three organizations, Zhongyi Tang, Violet and Qilin Group. Li Anping listened and found that these three organizations seemed to be the first-class forces in Emerald City. Now they were fighting, fighting almost every day, and various rumors and rumors were flying all over the sky.

He began to wonder if Lone Wolf’s actions were due to the conflict between these three major forces.

At this moment, a glass of wine was pushed down in front of Li Anping.

“Hello, I’ll buy you a drink.”

Li Anping turned his head and looked at the speaker. He was a short-built guy with a somewhat sinister appearance. A pair of small eyes were shining brightly as they kept looking at Li Anping.

“I don’t know you.” Li Anping looked at the man and said.

The man laughed loudly: “My name is Dongman. Is this your first time coming to Flashpoint? I’ve never seen you before.”

Li Anping frowned, not knowing where he showed his appearance.

Seemingly knowing what Li Anping was thinking, Dongman smiled and said straight to the point: “Haha, actually I am a regular customer of this restaurant, and I have basically seen all the customers here. But brother, since you found this place, you must want to Inquire about some information?”

Li Anping thought for a while and replied: “I want to find some people.”

Dongman became interested after hearing this and asked: “Who are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I can help you , I can be considered a well-informed person in this Emerald City.”

Li Anping hesitated for a moment, he could already see that this wine was a place for exchanging information. However, he didn’t know what kind of person this Dongman was. If he directly told him that he was looking for a lone wolf, would it be a good or bad thing?

Dongman over there seemed to see Li Anping’s hesitation and said, “You don’t have to make a decision in a hurry. This is my business card.” As he said that, he handed a business card to Li Anping.

“I usually mainly ask people for information. If you have any questions, you can ask me, but for some more precious information, I will charge some money. Hehe. I’ll leave first, you think about it. .Bartender

, I have to pay for this brother’s drink.” After saying that, Dongman waved his hand and left his seat.

“Wait.” Li Anping stopped Dong Man: “I do have something to ask you.” “

Oh? What is it?”

“Introduce Emerald City to me.” Li Anping took out a stack of paper from his arms. He put the money on the table and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t miss you the money.” He killed many bullies and corrupt officials along the way. Li Anping often robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

When Dongman saw Zhuoshang’s money, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he pocketed all the money: “What do you want to know about?” “Tell me about the recent events at Zhongyi Hall,

Violet and Qilin Group. Things.” Li Anping showed off the names he had just overheard. He decided to ramble on for a while, occasionally interspersing some questions about lone wolves, so that others would not see his true purpose.

But he asked the right person this time. The winery where Li Anping is located is a gathering place for many retail investors in Emerald City. Some capable lone rangers who are unwilling to be inferior to others and pursue freedom often meet here to exchange information. The Dongman in front of him was a personal intelligence agent. Maybe he didn’t know some secret and confidential things, or his knowledge was inaccurate, but he was well aware of the information on the surface of Emerald City.

At that moment, he started to talk about the entanglement between Zhongyi Tang, Zi Luo Lan and Qilin Tuan.

On the surface, Emerald City is still a city belonging to Daxia. But in fact, the conflict between Daxia and the northern power Ice Castle is deepening day by day, and the entire country’s power is leaning towards the army.

Therefore, in the past few years, the government’s influence on the Emerald City has been declining year by year. Coupled with the corruption of officials and backward systems, Daxia’s power in the Emerald City is full of holes.

However, among the government departments, the police system still relies on strong force to restrain the other three major forces, preventing the Emerald City from losing control.

The other three forces, one is the anti-Japanese force Zhongyi Tang, which controls most of Emerald City. It has been established for almost 20 years. It is an old-established force in Emerald City and is inseparable from the local residents. Many young men cannot study and grow up. When he grew up, he joined Zhongyi Hall and had enough to eat. Many times, it is even more useful to go to them than to go to the police.

There are two more, one is called Violet and the other is called Qilin Tuan. Violet is a transnational smuggling group that sometimes also deals in drugs and arms. As the most developed city in southern Daxia, Emerald City is on the border, directly bordering the southern countries, so it naturally receives great attention from Violet.

However, their channels are different from Zhongyi Tang, so there is no conflict between the two parties, but they often cooperate.

The last Qilin group only entered the Emerald City this year. He was originally a mercenary group mixed in the southern countries. The so-called southern countries refer to the eighteen small countries south of Daxia, including Yunmiao Kingdom, Baiyue Kingdom, Fulun Kingdom, etc. They are all located in the south of the Eastern Continent.

Because of the barren land and lack of natural resources, Daxia has never been interested in these countries, and has always allowed these small countries to develop. Therefore, Yunmiao, Baiyue, Fulun and other countries were no longer threatened by Daxia in the north. In order to compete for the few natural resources, they often launched wars, causing eighteen countries to have constant wars and social unrest.

Of course, there are also rumors that there are people in Daxia officials who are responsible for provoking conflicts among these small countries and preventing them from uniting.

The Qilin Group is a relatively famous mercenary group among the Eighteen Kingdoms. The headquarters is in the Baiyue Kingdom and often accepts employment from the country to participate in wars. For unknown reasons half a year ago, they came to Emerald City and wanted to occupy a piece of land and develop in Emerald City.

Of course the local forces disagreed, so under the leadership of Zhongyi Tang, the local gangs and the Qilin Group fought for several times. Although the Qilin Regiment is a professional fighting force, it is said that it is difficult for them to fight with two fists and they are outnumbered. Under the attack of more than a dozen local gangs, they are defeated one after another. Even the leader of the regiment is shot several times and his life is on the verge of death.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

The leader of the Qilin Regiment has a son who just turned eighteen this year. The name is Fang Qi. He originally studied in a martial arts school in Baiyue Kingdom.

After hearing the news that his father was seriously injured, he immediately rushed to the Emerald City. Under numerous crises, Fang Qi withstood all objections and took over the leadership role. He immediately showed his amazing talent and terrifying fighting power.

Under his leadership, Qilin was sure to win in team battles and swept away all the gangs in Emerald City within ten days. I don’t know how many big guys were wiped out. In particular, Zhongyitang’s ace thug, known as the Four Heavenly Kings, was directly beaten back by Fang Qi alone, which shocked the nerves of countless people.

Seeing Dong Man’s mouth frothing and giving directions, Li Anping asked: “Is that Fang Qi very powerful? No matter how powerful he is, if one person fights ten people, it is unlikely that he can reverse the battle of hundreds or thousands of people? No matter how powerful he is, , can it still compete with guns and cannons?”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Dong Man had a mysterious look on his face: “Brother, I wonder if you believe in super powers?”

Li Anping’s face was suffocated, and he stared at the opponent closely. , I keep recalling the other person’s words and actions in my mind, thinking about whether the other person is targeting me.

Looking directly at him, Dongman just smiled mysteriously. After a long time, Li Anping said one word at a time: “Fang Qi…has super powers?”
