Wu Heng walked over and sat on the edge of the couch, “What are you doing?”
Mini turned her head and waved a piece of paper in her hand, saying, “Wei’er and I agreed that she would teach me writing starting today.”
Wu Heng glanced at the paper in her hand.
The characters on it were basic and commonly used, “Why the sudden desire to learn writing?”
Mini said embarrassingly, “Once I’ve learned, I can also help you with some tasks, so Wei’er doesn’t have to bear it all.”
“Your dedication is impressive, practicing boxing every day and now also learning to write, aren’t you afraid of wearing yourself out?” Wu Heng said.
“What’s so hard about it? It won’t take that long.” Mini said.
Seeing the girl’s confidence, Wu Heng chuckled. He patted her on the back gently, “Mini is so smart, she’ll surely learn fast.”
Mini instantly beamed, “Really? Master is so nice.”
…
The main hall on the first floor.
After the two intensely sparred, Little Rabbit traced circles on her master’s chest with her finger as pale as a green onion, saying, “Wei’er will definitely hear about this, and she’ll tease me tomorrow.”
Wu Heng gently caressed the girl’s back and said, “What’s there to joke about? These are all normal things.”
“They are not normal at all!” Mini complained with a soft voice.
Thump thump thump~!
The two were squeezed on the narrow sofa when the entrance door was knocked on.
Somebody’s here?
They quickly put their clothes on.
After checking each other out, Wu Heng went over to open the door.
Opening the door, he saw Wen Mansha still dressed in her day attire, with a few skeleton attendants standing by the door.
Seeing Wu Heng open the door, she curiously asked, “Are Mini and the others not here?”
It seemed unusual to her for the master, Wu Heng, to answer the door.
“They’re here, come on in!”
Upon entering the hall, Wen Mansha saw Mini kneeling beside the coffee table, wiping water marks from the floor and the sofa with a rag.
“Sister Wen Mansha.” Mini called out sweetly.
Wen Mansha nodded without noticing the girl’s flushed cheeks. She took off her outer armor, placed it aside and after catching her breath, she said, “Master, all the spoils from the battlefield have been gathered in a yard in the residential area. The city walls of both areas have been taken over, but we’re still short on manpower.”
Actually, Wu Heng had few people he could call upon.
The Pinned Gang, the only group entrusted with major tasks, had suffered heavy casualties in the fight against the Hammer Party.
Although areas had been divided, taking full control felt like a struggle due to lack of manpower.
Wu Heng mobilized some carrion and a few members of the Pinned Gang to take over the city walls, but it was in a symbolic manner.
Purely to ensure that the walls didn’t seem empty.
Wu Heng said, “You’ll start recruiting more gang members from tomorrow to form our own patrol team.”
Wen Mansha nodded, about to speak.
She saw Mini still wiping the floor from the corner of her eye and said, “Mini, go prepare the bath water.”
“Yes, sister!” Mini obediently answered and got up to prepare the bath water.
Wen Mansha continued, “Recruiting members isn’t a problem, but to make them abandon their gang habits, might take some time.”
Changing one’s nature and habits is always a challenge once they have been formed.
Gang members, especially those from Pinned Gang who are from lower ranks, are particularly hard to change.
Even if they do adopt new ways, they would always do so under strict supervision.
So it’s easy to assemble a patrol team, but to standardize their behavior is tricky.
Wu Heng leaned back on the sofa and thought before continuing, “How about this, you pick some people that can serve on patrol. I’ll assign some skeleton attendants to patrol with them. This reduces manpower and is also a bit easier to manage.”
“Won’t having skeletons on patrol create chaos?”
“Residents will likely be anxious initially, but once they realize that the skeletons are just patrolling and catching criminals, they will adjust.” Wu Heng said.
After thinking about this idea, Wu Heng felt its feasibility was high.
Previously, he himself believed that skeletons couldn’t integrate into the survivors’ camp.
But now, even Li Yahong, Qiangzi, and others have accepted and even affectionately call them ‘Skeleton Bro’.
What’s more, Wu Heng trusts his skeleton attendants more than any gang member.
“Alright, we’ll do as you command.” Wen Mansha didn’t have any objections.
Wu Heng smiled and said, “Next, we should prepare personnel for the establishment of the city hall, completely separate from the City Lord.”
“Ah? All of it will be managed by me?” Wen Mansha looked surprised.
“What’s wrong? You feeling tired?”
Wen Mansha whispered, “No, I just fear I might mess it up.”
“What could possibly go wrong? Soon, you’ll be the biggest sister in our neighborhood.” Wu Heng joked.
“I don’t care about that. As long as I can be by your side, that’s enough.” Wen Mansha looked up, her eyes full of tender feelings.
“Yeah, you can move in with me later, I’ll arrange a room for you.”
At present, people in the inner city area and members of the Pinned Gang, all know that Wen Mansha is one of ours.
Wen Mansha’s face brightened up, “Really? So, I can live with you?”
“You can choose your own room.”
“Mmm, okay!”
…
With the use of a bathtub etched with runes, the bath water was prepared quickly.
Once Mini notified them that everything was ready, Wen Mansha took Wu Heng into the bathroom.
In the steam-filled bathtub, Wu Heng held the soft body in front of him, enjoying the feeling brought by the warm water bath.
Wen Mansha, feeling a bit lazy, yawned and looked up, “Thank you for saving me last night?”
Wu Heng’s brows raised, “You’re mine, isn’t it only right!”
Wen Mansha pouted her lips, “If it were Rocky, he definitely would not have saved me. Even at crucial moments, he would push me out to buy himself time.”
Wu Heng held her tighter, comfortingly saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you.”
A soft smile spread on Wen Mansha’s face.
She then squinted her eyes, looking up at him and whispered, “Bad master, you become attentive whenever Rocky is mentioned.”
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Wen Mansha, borrowing a thousand sets of leather-armored skeletons that Wu Heng had prepared for her, left their residence.
According to the agreement from yesterday.
Wen Mansha, would choose some reliable members from the gang, those who have decent characters.
She would lead the skeletons on patrol missions.
Even though the Hammer Party had withdrawn, the chaos they brought still continued.
There surely would not be a shortage of robberies and gang fights.
Lundham City was originally a city formed by the gang and a mercenary group, there were definitely not few people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
There surely would be chaos for some time.
Therefore, at this stage, the patrol mission must be intensified.
After Wen Mansha left, Wu Heng tidied up a bit, and also left the house.
…
Inner city area, Professional Association.
There were quite a lot of people in the hall today.
In addition to the staff, one could see members of various small teams walking around.
“Captain Wu Heng~!”
“Good morning, Captain Wu Heng.”
“You didn’t get hurt yesterday, did you?”
Some people greeted him from afar, Wu Heng waved back at each one.
Yesterday, he was the first to come to the association and inform everyone that the fight was over. By today, when others came to work, it had already been spread.
Everyone was surprised that the newly arrived Captain of the 12th team could influence the battle situation, yet they somehow felt it made sense.
After all, everyone had speculated about him in the past.
Rumors had spread about him being a noble young master gaining experience, the apprentice of a strong man, and more.
His resolving the issue of the Hammer Party this time had further affirmed these conjectures of a prized background.
Wu Heng walked up to the front desk, the staff immediately smiled, “Captain Wu Heng!”
“Has Attendant Gomez arrived?” Wu Heng asked.
“Not yet!”
He wouldn’t have escaped from the city, would he?
If he didn’t come back, it would be very difficult for the association’s work to be carried out.
Wu Heng continued to speak, “In yesterday’s battle, I killed three people listed on the wanted list. Has anyone done the autopsy and registration?”
“Hold on, let me ask.”
The staff member turned around and left.
Returning shortly thereafter, he signaled for Wu Heng to come over.
Standing inside the chilly basement were two Association verification officers.
“Captain Wu Heng, where are the bodies?” inquired one of the verification officers.
Wu Heng stepped aside, and the three towering figures behind him removed their motorcycle helmets.
With their menacingly white skeleton heads uncovered and a Soul Fire burning in their eye sockets,
Step, step, step~!
The two men showed shock on their faces and instinctively retreated several steps.
“Captain, what is this?” they asked.
