Manager Huang became solemn as well. “Tell me!”
“In our area, there’s a photovoltaic power plant that was recently occupied by an external force, claiming to be from the Re Zhao Group…”
“The leader is named Zhao Yu, holding the military rank of a Centurion, with over twenty soldiers under his command…”
“I want to know if he really is from the Re Zhao Group and what their purpose is in coming here…”
After hearing her description, Manager Huang’s brow furrowed slightly. “The Re Zhao Group, it seems they don’t have activities in this area…”
“They don’t?”
Manager Huang quickly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go ask the steward…”
“All, finding the steward for such a minor matter, shouldn’t we avoid bothering him?” Meng Xian was apprehensive.
The Steward Zhang was a significant figure who was managing the entire Black Stone City branch of the Reed Group.
“It’s not a minor matter. Your concerns are of utmost importance!” Manager Huang patted his chest. “Leave it to me. You sit here and have some tea, 1’11 go find the steward right now and get things clarified for you…”
With that, Manager Huang left.
On the way to Steward Zhang’s office, he thought of an excuse to use.
“Come in!”
“Steward, I have an important matter to report!”
Steward Zhang glanced at Manager Huang and nodded. “Speak!”
“My people found someone who was claiming to be from the Re Zhao Group’s military, they were about twenty in total, about a hundred kilometers east of Black Stone City…”
“People from the Re Zhao Group?”
“Why would people from the Re Zhao Group come here?”
“The Re Zhao Group’s people have nothing to do with us…”
“Steward, our teams leaving the city reported encountering strange creatures in the wilderness recently…”
“Several outlying settlements have been destroyed…”
“New creatures?”
“Yes, they have fought these new types of creatures say they are highly skilled in assassination, invisible to infrared devices, and as powerful as third-tier triple-enhanced individuals, very troublesome…”
“Third-tier?” Could it be that?
Steward Zhang had some guesses in his mind.
“Exactly, many people suspect that these creatures might be related to the Re Zhao Group, possibly a new product of their research…”
“Considering the recent appearance of Re Zhao soldiers in the eastern suburbs, I’m worried they are plotting something sinister, which could be detrimental to our Black Stone City…”
Steward Zhang stroked his chin, weighing the pros and cons, and then said, “Wait here, I’ll contact someone from the Re Zhao Group…”
With that, he stood up and opened a secret chamber.
Inside the secret chamber were a multitude of high-tech devices. After some operations, the projection of Chen Xiao from the Re Zhao Group appeared in the chamber.
“Steward Zhang. Is there anything you need from me?”
“My subordinates told me that your people are active on the east side of Black Stone City. What brings them there?”
“Really?!” Chen Xiao shook his head, “No, my people haven’t gone out recently…”
“Is that so?”
Steward Zhang smiled lightly, “Your people claim to be from the Re Zhao Group. According to our agreement, it seems you have overstepped your boundaries…”
“Self-proclaiming?”
Chen Xiao initially thought he was talking about people from the chemical plant being discovered, but it now seemed that wasn’t the case.
“Yes, a Centurion named Zhao Yu, with over twenty soldiers under his command…”
Zhao Yu?!
“They are not our people!”
“Could it be possible that they were sent by another department of your group?” Steward Zhang probed.
“Impossible!” Chen Xiao flatly denied. If the group had sent people south, he would have been informed, otherwise, they wouldn’t have enough supplies.
“Humph, if that’s the case, then we’ll just eliminate these people!” Steward Zhang coldly chuckled.
“Do as you wish. We haven’t sent anyone there anyway. If they are imposters, you can eliminate them!”
After saying this, Chen Xiao abruptly ended the communication.
Staring at the disappearing projection, he leaned back in his chair, muttering, “Zhao Yu?”
He had heard this name before from the administrator of shelter 12988.
It was said that Zhao Yu lived near the chemical plant.
Later, his subordinates reported that a building in the chemical plant had missing experimental products and signs of combat were found at the scene.
Considering the situation where multiple hidden cameras in the chemical plant were tampered with, it was very likely Zhao Yu’s doing.
“Should 1 send someone to eliminate him?”
“Forget it, a small fry like him is not worth the effort…”
“It seems that group really has nothing to do with the Re Zhao Group!”
Steward Zhang stroked his chin, deducing the truth from Chen Xiao’s reaction.
He stepped out of the secret chamber and looked at Manager Huang, “That Zhao Yu has nothing to do with the Re Zhao Group, you can deal with him as you see fit…”
“What about the creature…”
“That’s none of your business!”
“Yes, yes!” Having received the answer he wanted, Manager Huang didn’t linger and quickly left.
Soon, he returned to his office and shared the information with Meng Xian.
“They are not from the Re Zhao Group?!” Meng Xian was overjoyed, yet uncertain, “Is the information accurate?”
“It should be. Steward Zhang contacted the management of the Re Zhao Group, and they confirmed they are not their people…”
Manager Huang smiled slightly, “There are often imposters claiming to be from the major groups, but a fake is a fake and will be exposed sooner or later…”
“Thank you…” Meng Xian quickly expressed her gratitude, thinking that with Zhao Yu’s limited manpower, she could easily eliminate them once she returned.
Soon, the entire power plant would be theirs!
“Do we still need to be so polite between us? Do you need my help? I have a combat team that can help you take care of it…”
“No need, thank you. I am, after all, a third-tier dual-system enhancer…”
“Alright then…” Manager Huang looked disappointed.
Meng Xian’s heart was surging with excitement, feeling like she had resolved a major concern.
“Hmph, Zhao Yu, you’re good at cheating but wait until I come back and see how you explain!”
She understood that Zhao Yu might have some back up but definitely not a major power like the Re Zhao Group.
At most, it would be some minor force within Black Stone City, which she could confront in the wilderness to see who was stronger!
At the very least, it was time to flip the tables.
Initially, she had let Zhao Yu go, fearing the Re Zhao Group. Soon, his twenty soldiers could be slowly assassinated by her alone.
Knowing Zhao Yu didn’t have such a powerful backer, the power plant must be theirs. If Zhao Yu wanted to stay, he would have to pay for electricity and even protection!
If he refused, he would understand why flowers are so red!
