Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 342: Change Owners

Plop!

Singh knelt on the ground and looked at the tip of the sword emerging from his chest. There were seven or eight gaps on his body, and his entire body was dripping with blood. There were even some places that sunk unnaturally, and one could vaguely see that there were faint fist imprints in those places. In the short period of time he had just been struck by Regis, coupled with William's heavy punch, he was completely unable to withstand the combined attacks of the two of them with his level 14 strength.

What made him the most unwilling was that the silver-haired brat had only stood by and watched from the beginning to the end. He didn't even move a single finger, and the forces he and he had worked so hard to establish in Violet Harbor vanished into thin air.

"Dick won't let you go!" Singh shouted.

Regis frowned and pulled out the sword that pierced through his back.

Singh spat out an arrow of blood from his chest, almost reaching Ellen's feet. His cry came to a sudden halt and he fell to the ground.

When Alan turned around and walked out of the courtyard, the battle on the streets was over. The Mountain King's warriors were only slightly injured, while Singh's subordinates were more than half injured. When the others saw Singh's death, they immediately fled. Allen did not plan to leave. He had the soldiers clean up the corpses. At this time, the city guards of Violet Harbor arrived late. They could have come sooner, but they stalled for a bit of time. For example, it was practically the usual practice of the city protection team to deliberately take a long drive and arrive at the scene afterwards.

After all, there were too many powers in Violet Harbor. Almost every month, such fights would occur. The city guards didn't want to interfere at all, but when the captain arrived at the scene and saw the corpses being carried out neatly at the intersection, his heart beat heavily.

He knew who the owner of the block was, and who the master behind Singh was. Dick's father's influence in Violet Harbor was limited, so he could be considered a number one figure. But now, his influence in the city had been uprooted. The speed with which the other party moved, the strength with which he was able to deal with it, and the sharpness with which he dealt with it caused the captain, who was already middle-aged, to be secretly shocked.

When he saw Alan, he was even more shocked. It was hard for the captain to imagine that it was this handsome youth in front of him who had done such a swift and fierce thing.

After giving his name, Allen put a bag full of gold coins into the captain's hand and said, "Please take care of more things here." Our Chamber of Commerce will have more dealings with Violet Harbor in the future, and it will be quite troublesome to stay in a hotel every time. Therefore, he decided to stay here. "I don't know what kind of procedures to follow. If the captain is willing to help, then it would be great."

After estimating the weight of the purse in his heart, the captain was very satisfied. Of course, some of the money was given to his subordinates. However, what was left could be considered generous. He smiled and said, "Lord Allen is very generous."

"You have to be generous to make friends, don't you?"

The captain laughed and nodded, "This neighborhood used to belong to Singh. Now that he has been killed by his lord, it will become a landless place. It won't be difficult for me to help you complete the formalities, but with such an obvious position, your lord has to be careful of Dick's revenge."

Alan shook his head and said, "He won't. The captain doesn't have to worry about the safety of the block."

"That's good." The captain stood up and said, "My men will stay and help Lord Allen clean up, but they have to leave at most tomorrow."

Alan said sincerely, "Thank you for everything you've done."

Some of the city guards stayed behind. As for tomorrow, before they left, there would be no other accidents in this block. After all, if someone attacked, it would be akin to attacking the city guards. That was fundamentally different from attacking Alan and the others. By tomorrow morning, Singh's territory would be firmly in Alan's hands. As for whether he could defend this territory or even expand it, that was not the captain's concern.

He was willing to do so for the sake of the gold coins.

The next morning, when Shawn and a few other Sur merchants arrived in front of the courtyard, everyone was in a suspicious dream. Ellen patted Shawn on the shoulder and said, "Look, this will be our Chamber of Commerce's office in Port Violet. If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Shawn may have to stay here and help us with our business."

Xiao En revealed a hesitant expression.

"Don't worry, the benefits won't be less than yours. As for safety, you don't have to worry. I'll leave enough protection for you when we leave. Even if we can't defend this place in the future, it won't be a problem to take you away."

With Alan's assurance, Xiao En had nothing to say. He immediately said, "Follow your orders."

The corpses of the war dead had already been taken away by the city guards. The guards had already shared some benefits in the hands of the captain. In addition to searching for the corpses' belongings, it was enough for them to earn a small profit. They were naturally happy to help Allen deal with the aftermath, but the city guards were quite good at it.

There were still traces of blood on the streets and in the yard, but it would be clean after a few more sweeps. The north and south ends of the block were 20 to 30 meters tall. There were more than a dozen houses, including a casino and two bars. Casinos and bars were Singh's lucrative businesses. Alan took Shawn and the others around. The people in charge of these properties were also Singh's people. They had already escaped in the chaos last night, but the man was still there.

Alan settled them down and reassured them to follow him in the future, increasing their salaries by 20%. As a result, the casino bar will be open for business.

"This is really a good place." Returning to Singh's courtyard, Ellen said, "The houses on the south side will serve as a base for our own caravans in the future." As for the ones on the back, I think it would be good to push them down and rebuild them and convert them into hotels for business. As for casinos and taverns, I'd like a partner. This kind of place is the most prone to accidents. Without the cooperation of the local snakes, we outsiders won't be able to control the place by force for long. "

"Of course, there won't be any problems when we become local snakes."

Shawn suggested, "Remember that Wino from yesterday? He's not just in the warhorse business."

Alan nodded and said, "Then please arrange it."

'No problem, by the way. Lord Allen, don't forget we have an appointment tonight. I've already arranged for Mr. Roger to come out tonight and talk about cooperation.'

"I know."

In the afternoon, Vino was invited and soon reached an agreement with Alan. He agreed to help Alan with his bar and casino business because he could not refuse Alan's offer. The profits from these two industries will be divided between the two of them. Among them, Venus got the big head, and Venus was quite surprised that Alan was so generous. On the other hand, he also realized that Alan's vision was far-sighted. It was not in this small bar or casino. In addition to the strength that he had displayed by quickly occupying Singh's territory, that was why Venus was interested in cooperating with him.

Otherwise, Venus wouldn't have liked such a small profit.

After looking at the bar and walking down the street, Venus smiled and said, "Young Master Allen has just arrived at Violet Harbor and has done such a sensational thing. His future is limitless."

'"It's nothing. I'm from Sur City. From now on, there will be more dealings between Sur City and Port Violet. I can't accommodate people like Dick. What's the difference between provoking him today and provoking him tomorrow?"

"Looks like Young Master Allen has great ambitions. I'm really curious. When did someone like you appear in Sur City?" Venus said truthfully.

"I just settled down in that city not long ago," Ellen said coolly.

He suddenly asked, "I heard that Mr. Vino's business is not only big, but also far?"

Vino's face revealed a trace of pride. "I don't dare to say that far away, there really aren't many in Violet Harbor that can compare to me. My caravan has been to Granier before."

Granier, one of the most important cities in the Bailey Empire, and several other important cities, were known as the pillars of the empire, which showed how important they were. On the way, Allen and Shawn talked about the city in small talk, so they were quite impressed. Alan nodded when he heard Venus' words, "I'll have to ask Mr. Venus for more advice in the future."

"Alright. I will stay here for more than ten days. You are welcome to come at any time."

"Definitely."

After sending Venus away, Alan smiled. William looked at him in puzzlement. "Mr. Vino, everything else is fine," said Alan. "It's just a little too exaggerated."

"How did the boss know?"

'"Very simple. How can a businessman who can do business in Granier stay in a small place like Violet Harbor? If it was me, I would be busy clearing the way to the heart of the empire. How can I come to such a border? Even if there is business here, I can leave it to the people below to handle it." Alan smiled and said, "However, people like him are the partners we need right now."

In the evening, under Shawn's arrangement, Alan took Adele to the Redwillow Bar. The Redwillow Bar has some history in Violet Harbor and is one of the few established bars. The owner of the bar is Jessica, another city councilman and the only female councilman.

Jessica had inherited considerable wealth and inheritance from her father. She was said to be unmarried, but none of her suitors were able to win her favor.

The Violet Harbor at night was completely different from during the day. Alan was too busy dealing with Singh's gang last night to pay attention. Now, he followed Shawn through the bustling streets and alleys. Looking at the various shops that only operated at night, he could feel the strong vitality of the city.

When they arrived at the Red Willow Bar, the bar on the third floor was already packed. Allen and the others worked very hard to squeeze in. Sean heaved a sigh of relief when he walked up to the private room on the second floor. Otherwise, with his body, if he was in the lobby on the first floor, he would be very tired.
