Even Meng Fusheng, who was a veteran bandit—his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets on seeing those three boxes of treasures. He had traveled the world for over ten years and seen his fair share of stolen wares. But he had never seen such good stuff. He still possessed a discerning eye and could tell in one glance that these treasures were of the highest quality. Any of them would fetch an astounding price on the market.
Meng Fusheng was rather perceptive and could identify that they got these treasures from the Tushita Palace managed by Yichen.
The Tushita Palace had a unique trading policy, allowing Yichen to easily gather goods of the highest quality. They exchanged items that were not that good for gold coins. Before Linghe left, Yichen had voluntarily passed everything to him. It could be said that… the treasures within this three boxes were all gotten from the noble families of the capital city. How could they possibly be of poor quality?
Looking at Meng Fushengs reaction, those members knew they had done well.
“Boss, these items are pretty good, aren’t they?” A few of them said smugly. They had only taken their first look inside the boxes while already on the road and were thoroughly stunned.
Meng Fusheng regained his usual composure and nodded. “Not bad, you have all done very well this time. With these items, we can definitely match up against Zhai Xing Lou.”
Although Fu Guang City was one of the three major powers in the Free Valley, its location meant that it had lesser resources than the other two. As a result, people with powerful abilities or of a certain status would usually prefer Zhai Xing Lou or Yan Luo Dian.
Only those who failed to enter Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian would then make their way to Fu Guang City.
One’s gain was another’s loss. The amount of loot available in Fu Guang City was not a lot, and the Blood Tribe usually had to travel out of the Fu Guang City to carry out their raids. However, they dared not travel too far out, and pickings were slim in the nearby scattered villages.
Meng Fusheng got increasingly excited as he watched these items. He pondered for a moment before asking, “Who are these people who came today?”
Being able to travel around with so many treasures—they were definitely not your usual folks.
“We are not too sure. There are over a dozen of them, all looking about 20-plus years of age. At first glance, they looked pretty formidable, but are actually just a bunch of cowards. We didn’t even do much—they were already scared witless after we told them that we were of the Blood Tribe. They just passively allowed us to take their things,” One of the man said smugly.
“Oh?” Meng Fusheng raised his brows. He felt something was not right, but with the Blood Tribe backing him up, he had absolutely no need to worry. “Are all their things here?”
The men shook their heads. “We are not sure. They were in the middle of moving these three boxes and we just grabbed them. We don’t know if they have anymore inside the house.”
Those men had put little thought into that raid. They just wanted to do a bit of looting, but who knew…
This turned out to be such a significant mark.
“I see. Bring some more men and pay them another visit tomorrow morning.” Meng Fusheng smiled as he leaned back. “Since they have come to Fu Guang City, they must contribute to our city’s peace and stability. Tell them to hand over their valuables. Otherwise, Fu Guang City will not tolerate people who don’t follow orders.”
