He felt he could trust him; he was a brother in spirit, yet he knew nothing about him. After frowning for a while, Yan Xiaobao decided to give a brief introduction, "I t him while fighting in the capital of Spain. He provided with great help by taking care of a group of Crusaders."
"Returning to everyone, beyond gaining strength, I have no real goals, so we can deal with the person who expelled Lan Feng from him. But when I returned, I heard about the issues we have with the Third Prince. What he has done is unforgivable—not only killing able-bodied n, but also slaughtering the elderly and children, killing those who have already attained freedom. I cannot accept this. While I am here, I will handle him, so I need everyone’s strength." As he looked at Deng Wu and Wang Julong, he paused for a mont. Both of them showed expressions on their faces, but gratitude and hope could also be clearly seen in their eyes.
"Initially, I thought of joining the City Lord’s faction to get his support for the person I hope to champion. But after so thought, I ca up with a better idea. I believe it is ti for this capital to establish another faction. I will beco the leader of this faction and see if it is possible to collaborate with the City Lord. It would be best to have his support for our faction." His words left everyone breathless. No one anticipated that Yan Xiaobao would push forward in such a bold and overt manner.
"To beco a force, we will employ various thods. First, I need everyone to know that I am the Great Marshall of the Beast Army. Since I am now a half-beast, I was finally able to return after finishing certain matters with the beasts. Now, I hope to reconnect with dear friends while spending ti cultivating and increasing strength. My strength alone is not enough to start a faction, so I need everyone’s help." He continued to look around at everyone, "Gao Yan, I need you and your information network to formally join our faction. Ma Gang, I need your auction house to support us. Do you think it would be possible for your family’s Black Market Auction House to beco part of my faction, or will they continue to support Zhan Weishen?"
As he looked at Yan Xiaobao with a pleasant expression, Ma Kong smiled. "It was years ago, but you once brought the business model of life insurance to my family. It was sothing we had long considered, but when we finally started implenting it, we found it to be wildly successful—especially for guards, soldiers, and rcenaries. While we are still managing the auction house, the primary business of my family is now insurance. When my family was inford that you returned to the capital, they cleared my schedule and declared that my main task was to ensure we maintain our friendship with you. If I tell them you want to start your own faction, I guarantee my family will support you."
Yan Xiaobao smiled in satisfaction at his words. Then he looked at Gao Yan, who had a faint smile on his face. "Anything you need, if I have it, I will help you," he said with a relaxed expression. He felt he owed his life to Yan Xiaobao. Becoming part of his faction was beyond question.
"I’m sorry, though we wish to be part of your faction, we cannot," Rong Xing said sorrowfully. "We are from the Rong Family. The Rong Family serves as the City Lord of Liluo City, and our family is loyal to only one faction—that of the King. I’m sorry, we cannot be part of your faction."
Hearing his words, Yan Xiaobao would be lying if he said he wasn’t slightly disappointed. But he understood that they truly had no say in their circumstances to change the reality. Therefore, he simply nodded with a smile on his face. "We’re in; there is no reason to hesitate," Deng Wu said resolutely. "Though I may not be very well-known in the capital, I am still powerful. The fusion with Little Dragon has brought trendous changes to my mind and body, not to ntion the surge in my potential. I should be able to support you well." He promised, while Wang Julong said nothing but nodded in the background. She was renowned for her expertise in poisons and was widely known in town as the Ice Queen, managing all the dical clinics there.
"Sounds good," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile. "Tomorrow, I will begin establishing our faction. But for now, let’s enjoy this delicious food prepared for us," he said with a grin. Everyone began talking about the events that had transpired during the long ti they hadn’t seen each other. What they truly wanted to hear were Yan Xiaobao’s adventures.
The next day, Yan Xiaobao sat alone in a small library, in a good mood. He thought about the matter for so ti. Since he was about to start his own faction, he could no longer reside in the Rong twins’ manor. If they were part of his faction, that would be fine, but their allegiance to the King ant staying there was impossible. The Rong twins’ integrity would co into question, and Yan Xiaobao would be seen as supporting the King.
Beside him was Cai Jie, who was engrossed in reading various books, with no care for finding Yan Xiaobao’s storage stone. He examined all his beast cores, intriguing items, and gold coins. He hoped to buy a mansion sowhere in the capital, needing one equal in grandeur to the twins’ estate. As he looked through his bag, he found so items he could sell, mainly beast cores, materials, and a few inscriptions he could part with. Although individually these items wouldn’t sell for much, the cumulative wealth Hui Yue had managed to gather over the years would add up.
