THE GREAT GOD 2
Ch 245's. Power Expansion
Hearing the words from Liu Ryu, the Patriarch of the Chu Clan breathed a sigh of relief because it meant that their Clan did not lose their livelihood.
" Young master Ryu, I am Chu Zao Patriarch of the Chu Clan happily managing this Daxue."
" If so, starting next month we will provide Resources that match the income value of this Daxue." Chu Zao did not want to miss the opportunity to cooperate with Liu Ryu who was a wealthy merchant from the Western Continent.
As a form of Chu Zao's solemnity in cooperating, he represented the Chu Clan giving some Resources to Liu Ryu.
Naturally the Chu Clan at the present moment desperately needed Spirit Stones rather than Resources, because in order to protect the territory of their Clan that had previously spent a lot of Spirit Stones to activate the protectors.
" Thank you, Mr. Zao, it's a pleasure to do business with you." Said Liu Ryu, then made a new letter of agreement.
On the other hand Tai Bai and his sister were also taking the results of their previous bets at the betting table.
Likewise with Wu Tian, he also took the results of the previous bet.
The few officers who saw that could only sigh heavily, as the Weapon Association possessed an immeasurable amount of wealth.
" Young master... I'll ask some of the Klan members to take care of this place." Chu Zao said as he signed their agreement.
Chu Zao also gave the badge of the Chu Clan to Liu Ryu, in order not to experience any obstacles when traveling to the other regions of the Han Empire.
After the deal had been signed, Liu Ryu bid farewell to Chu Zao then brought his seven Wives and Wu Tian back to the Weapon Association.
While Tou Shuijing, Jiu Tou She and the other Universe Forces have returned to the Weapon Association and returned to their original forms.
Thus no one knew of their disguise before.
In the Weapons Association, there are now five floors, where the ground floor and second floor are used as a place to sell various weapons.
As for the third floor used as a workspace and meeting room, and the fourth and fifth floors used as a resting place for Liu Ryu and his wife.
For Tou Shuijing, Jiu Tou She and the Universal Army were stationed at the inn, while making another building.
Liu Ryu could indeed create a building briefly, but it would certainly attract the attention of others.
" Greetings young master." Welcome the forces of the Universe in unison.
" Mm-hm... Chaoistuan, Jiu... We need to expand this place. Give this to the Mayor." Liu Ryu then took out a sheet of paper containing a note.
Of course Liu Ryu needs the help of Mayor Lanshui to be a mouthpiece to his citizens.
Liu Ryu also gave 100 million Spirit Stones to Tou Shuijing in order to be given to Mayor Lanshui to launch his plan.
" Good young master." Said Tou Shuijing and Jiu Tou She, then left the room to the Mayor's residence.
" Wu Tian, you are looking for a building expert in this city." Said Liu Ryu while turning his head towards Wu Tian.
" Good young master." Wu Tian lowered his head, then left the place.
After that, Liu Ryu asked the other Universe forces to look for various information regarding the territory of the Han Empire.
Of course with countless Spirit Stones, they easily bought land or buildings from some citizens in Lanshui City.
" My husband, do you want to rule this city?" Ask Tai Bai.
Even Liu Ryu could buy land and buildings at a higher price up to three times the normal price.
Thus the Weapon Association would become the absolute ruler in Lanshui City, in the business section.
*******
A month had passed, there were already many lands or buildings that Liu Ryu had bought, because so many citizens were tempted by the price offered.
Even with the help of Mayor Lanshui, the Weapon Association's territory grew wider as the surrounding buildings had already been bought by Liu Ryu.
Naturally Mayor Lanshui was so tempted by the Spirit Stone given by Liu Ryu, that he was very excited to become the tongue-tie of the Weapon Association.
" Fuck, I've been fooled by that young man." Murmured Mayor Lanshui, while staring at the pile of Spirit Stones given by Liu Ryu.
" It looks like the Weapon Association wants to take control of this city. But how am I supposed to report this incident to His Majesty the Emperor?" Mayor Lanshui looked puzzled as there was no evidence of the crime Liu Ryu committed, other than just doing business.
For a moment Mayor Lanshui smiled bitterly as the amount of Spirit Stones given by Liu Ryu was still not comparable to the treasures he had bet on Daxue.
Even his slaves were already in the hands of Liu Ryu, who was employed in the Weapon Association.
" Even though I am the Mayor who controls this Lanshui, but the Arms Association is in control." Mayor Lanshui put on a sour face because the Arms Association is not only engaged in the sale of weapons, but various other businesses.
*******
While in the Arms Association, it has now spread its wings to various corners of the city, including lodging, restaurants, and ports.
Naturally the inn and restaurant owners were unable to compete with the Weapon Association, as the prices offered were much cheaper than normal prices.
" How do we compete against that Weapon Association? They're growing rapidly in this city." Ask one of the merchants who set up a restaurant.
In the building a lot of rich merchants gathered to find solutions to overcome their problems.
" At first I thought in a month they'd go bankrupt because they'd bought too much land and buildings in this town."
" But the fact is they are growing rapidly, even dare to offer cheap prices."
" Yes... If this continues, then our income is decreasing. Thus, we cannot afford the salaries of our employees."
A discussion from the merchants who feel their efforts will be threatened, if they do not have customers.
" We must hire Cultivators to destroy their efforts." One of the merchants gave a proposal.
" I agree! But to hire a Cultivator who has already reached the Earth Star, can we afford to pay for it?" Ask other traders.
" It's too expensive. If it combines all the treasures we have, it can only afford to hire an Earth Star Cultivator."
" Are we just hiring a mere Holy Star Cultivator? I'm sure with ten Sacred Star Cultivators it's enough."
A discussion was so tough, because hiring ten Sacred Star Cultivators meant that they spent all the treasures they had.
If that fails, then all the merchants who are in the city of Lanshui will go out of business and of course they will leave the city.
