Chapter 769: The Experts in Forest Fire
Swish!While Fei Mao was discussing with the other members of Forest Fire, Nan Hua leapt down from the roof after waiting for a moment.
Once the commotion was noticed by other people, she noticed someone moving.
He was from Forest Fire too.
Clang!
“Who are you?” the man held a knife in his hand, blocking the knife Nan Hua threw towards him just now. His back was filled with cold sweat as he knew that if he was late just by a moment, his life would have gone.
“An expert in Forest Fire?” Nan Hua asked, lowering her vocal register.
The man frowned. He looked at the black clothed kid in front of him. The clothes completely covered Nan Hua, only allowing others to see her eyes. But the gaze Nan Hua used to look at him… was very disturbing.
“What do you want from me?” The man finally asked.
“One of my underling is having a negotiation with your member. Let them finish their talk for now.”
The man looked at the building then at Nan Hua once more. For some reason, he had the feeling that if he dared to step forward, his life would have gone. Even though there were still a distance between the two of them, the feeling was so strong that he didn’t know what he should say.
It was an instinct that had protected him all this time.
Time ticked.
The two of them stood with a distance between them, not saying anything. The man began to sweat as he looked at Nan Hua then he cautiously asked, “Who are you?”
“Dark Moon Organization.”
The man narrowed his eyes. The information he got from the Night Rat appeared. Because of their failure in the assassination in the palace was closely related to Dark Moon Organization’s appearance, it was clear that the person in front of him was related.
He might be the very person who stopped those people in the corridor back then and killed them all.
‘No wonder I feel danger.’
“Forest Fire can’t be compared to Dark Moon Organization. Do you want to target us because of the resources we have?” the man asked carefully.
Resource?
With the barren area in the west, Nan Hua really didn’t want to deprive the Forest Fire from making their livelihood better. It was already hard enough for them to try to survive every single day.
Why should she try to stop them?
“Did you cross the border to Zhang Xu Kingdom?”
Zhang Xu Kingdom directly bordered Fei Yang Kingdom. If it was too hard for Forest Fire to expand to the East, they could always expand to the north. But if they did that, they would have to cross the border towards Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Nan Hua had some information about Forest Fire, but it was not completely detailed.
The information agency that the Cai Family built didn’t really include the entirety of Fei Yang Kingdom. It was mostly from the areas around the Capital City until the border and some parts inside Shi Long, Zhang Xu, and Wei Da Kingdom.
It was already quite big, but three to four years were not enough for it to completely establish the range further.
This was why Nan Hua wanted to be able to collaborate with Forest Fire.
If she could get the organization to collaborate together, she could at least ensure the direction of their movements.
The man was stunned. “You know the smuggler?”
The smuggler.
It was actually the nickname of a person who could arrange for people to traverse between kingdoms. He had a lot of connection and used them in order to make sure that the people would be able to move between kingdom safely.
As for why they wanted to move, he didn’t care.
So far, he had been working at the border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom because of Forest Fire’s activity. But if one should say, his connection was much more than that.
“How vast is his connection?” Nan Hua asked.
The man was stunned then turned to look at Nan Hua. “I’m not talking.”
“Really?”
Swoosh!
A needle bypassed the man’s cheek, causing blood to trail on the open wound. He didn’t even notice when Nan Hua made that move as he only felt pain when it was done. His eyes widened when he looked at Nan Hua.
He wanted to hop in anger, but he also treasured his life.
After some struggling, the man sighed. “I don’t know much. We ask for his help because Forest Fire can’t last that much longer with the resources we have in this area. Some of us are trying to get more resources from Zhang Xu Kingdom.”
“Be careful of poison and gu.” Nan Hua knew very well the treacherousness of Zhang Xu Kingdom. They were a kingdom that would not hesitate to kill their own people in order to achieve their goal.
Facing against people like those, they had to be extra careful.
“We know.”
Nan Hua lightly tapped on the surface below her before disappearing to the back. The conversation between Fei Mao and the group of Forest Fire people were already finished.
There was no need for her to stay here.
The man looked at the disappearing Nan Hua and took a breath of relief. At this moment, he realized that his back was already completely drenched. He let out a bitter laugh as he realized that if he wanted to contend against that youth, he would have to train even more bitterly than he already has.
He swiftly moved towards the building and saw the other member of Forest Fire sat there.
There was a broken chair, signifying that there was a fight not long ago. However, there was not as much destruction as he thought there would be.
“Elder.” They all stood up to greet him when they saw the man.
“Tell me what happened.”
As the group of people told the man what Dark Moon Organization wanted, the man fell into deep silence.
