Although I don't know whether the words of the Paper Kite Gang leader are sincere.
But since the other party has proposed it and is willing to make a deal, Fang Yu doesn't mind probing a bit.
"I've heard that your Paper Kite Gang has so connection with an upper organization?"
Xi Xinyue's expression showed slight surprise but quickly restrained.
"Young Master knows quite a bit. But isn't your appetite too big? Just our business in Sunset City isn't enough to satisfy you?"
Fang Yu felt that the leader of the Paper Kite Gang seed to be subtly afraid of him.
Do I look scary?
After a brief contemplation, Fang Yu spoke: "That depends on whether you are sincere."
"What sincerity does Young Master want?"
"I want to inspect a batch of goods."
"What goods?"
"Your Paper Kite Gang's inventory accounts from Sunset City from Jiujie Mountain area this year."
Jiujie Mountain...
Xi Xinyue pondered slightly, then gave soone behind her a look.
Wei Xiaoshan of the three guards, with five thousand blood, imdiately understood and withdrew.
Seeing Fang Yu seed like soone who could communicate well, rather than a brute, Xi Xinyue appeared much more at ease.
She looked at Fang Yu and slowly said: "I wonder how Young Master plans to handle the hole left by the Qu Gang?"
At this point, Fang Yu was basically certain that the Paper Kite Gang leader had indeed misunderstood sothing.
But this misunderstanding was beneficial to his situation.
Fang Yu feigned contemplation, avoiding the question, instead sipping tea and lightly saying: "Why not first talk about the upper organization you're connected to within the Paper Kite Gang. I fear there are so things you can't decide."
Upon hearing this, Xi Xinyue obviously thought about it, then slowed her tone, speaking gradually: "The upper organization supplying us in Sunset City is nad [Jiuyao]. Because the scale of Sunset City is small, the person in charge of [Jiuyao] generally visits once every six months or even a year. They provide goods from relatively distant areas, which are quite popular in our Sunset City, sold at high prices with equally high sourcing costs. If it's relatively nearby sources, we would send our own people to handle it ourselves."
After a pause, Xi Xinyue continued: "[Jiuyao]'s internal hierarchy is divided by color. Our ally within [Jiuyao] is the lowest-ranking Lord Hui Yao, who procures goods from us, purchasing so scarce dicinal materials, high-level techniques, various information, everything, sotis even pre-ordering special Sunset City products such as... Sea Scale Grass."
While ntioning the Sea Scale Grass, Xi Xinyue watched Fang Yu's reaction, but the latter showed no expression change, not even a fluctuation in emotion.
Either this person is skilled at disguising, or their intelligence is still incomplete.
"You can actually get Sea Scale Grass?" Fang Yu asked curiously.
"The slave trade, although sowhat inferior, still has many who need it."
Xi Xinyue implied sothing.
Fang Yu felt that either the Hai Family has direct deals with slave forces, or forces trading with the Hai Family are linked to slave forces, eventually leading the Paper Kite Gang to obtain Sea Scale Grass.
Jiuyao...
Fang Yu pondered before asking.
"Is Hui Yao specifically responsible for our area?"
"Yes."
Fang Yu frowned: "Just him alone?"
Xi Xinyue laughed.
"Lord Hui Yao is just in a low position, not aning he's alone. The [Jiuyao] organization is far more extensive than Young Master might imagine."
Fang Yu understood a bit.
Similar to how Ten Households is perceived as an initial level of authority by outsiders in the Foolish Underworld; under Ten Households, there's a group of team mbers following, with decent treatnt.
"Do you know where Hui Yao is now? When will he co back to Sunset City again?"
"Lord Hui Yao last ca two months ago. Based on a half-year term, at least three or four months remain before he returns to Sunset City. However, Lord Hui Yao's subordinates visit Sunset City irregularly. As for where Lord Hui Yao is now, I don't know. Judging from the last departure direction, the likelihood of Lord Hui Yao going to Thunder City is highest."
Thunder City?
Fang Yu felt a stir in his heart.
"Why do you think so?"
Xi Xinyue blinked: "My guess."
At this mont, Wei Xiaoshan with five thousand blood returned with a ledger.
"The inventory accounts from Jiujie Mountain over the past year, all included here, please Young Master have a look."
Fang Yu opened the ledger to examine it, quickly closed it.
Since Tianyuan Town has few goods, a glance could reveal the outco.
"Let's continue discussing the matter regarding Hui Yao."
Fang Yu was basically sure that his brother wasn't in Sunset City, or hadn't been sold to Sunset City.
But since he was trafficked away, a buyer must exist.
This matter might have to capture Hui Yao, who manages their generational slave trade, to find the person.
"Young Master, I have already said everything I know." Xi Xinyue looked helpless.
Fang Yu closed his eyes, pondered a bit, then spoke: "Qu Gang territory is yours now."
Xi Xinyue imdiately widened her eyes, a look of joy erging.
"Young Master's words are true?"
"Now, can we discuss matters related to Hui Yao?"
Xi Xinyue covered her mouth and laughed.
"Young Master, actually, what I said just now wasn't false, regarding Lord Hui Yao, the only information I truly have is this. Yet in dealing with a tiger, our Paper Kite Gang naturally conducted so investigation on Lord Hui Yao. I'm about eighty percent certain that Lord Hui Yao is settled in Thunder City."
