Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Origin Territory’s new lord made a grand appearance, and it caused a small uproar in the area.
He had rarely appeared ever since he became the territory lord.
Many local residents had never seen him before and swarmed over curiously to see him.
Even the travelers that were still in the territory wanted to get a glimpse.
However, Origin Territory lord came and left pretty quickly.
!!
After briefly showing his face in front of the small crowd,he quickly led his subordinates into the large building of Main Peak Restaurant, where the private rooms were and disappeared.
At the same time, Main Peak Restaurant had a lot of commotion.
First, there were two tables of people who were still eating in the private room that got ruthless chased out. They even had a few rice grains and stains on the corners of their mouths.
Then, everyone in the public dining area was told that all dishes would be delayed for a while and they would not be served until the territory lord finished his meal.
However, everyone applauded since two origin coins would be waived for those in the public dining area, and those in the private room would have their fees waived with an additional discount on their next visit.
Those who were chased out of their private rooms were not angry. They simply greeted their territory lord with respect and left excitedly.
To ordinary people, the new territory lord seemed like a dependable and capable man who would achieve many great things in the wasteland.
They thought they would be able to have a piece of the pie if they managed to talk and build a relationship with him.
Meanwhile, Su Mo finished his meal on the third floor.
He was rather disillusioned.
“Do you still not know the new lord’s name?”
Su Mo held the teacup and swirled around the orange-colored tea inside. There was a deeper meaning to his question.
Huang Bing, who had finished eating, straightened up to think about the question. Then, he shook his head and answered, “I don’t think we do. I’ve only met the new lord three times. I think even my boss doesn’t know his name.
“The rules in our territories haven’t had many changes, and everyone’s life carried on the same as usual. Apart from implementing currency, the new territory lord doesn’t say much. As for his name…”
Huang Bing hesitated for a while. Ultimately, he leaned forward and whispered, “I’ve heard someone call him Tiger before. The reason is that…he beat the former territory lord of Main Peak to death…with his fists.”
“Beat to death with his fists? Is it really that outrageous?”
Huang Bing’s voice fell, and the soldier beside him was startled.
It would be understandable if an ordinary person did it while fighting for survival but it was shocking that a territory lord would use such a method.
“Yeah. Regardless of his other achievements, everyone acknowledges our new territory lord’s capabilities and that it is beyond doubt.
“This is also why so many caravans and travelers who step foot into the territory don’t dare to cause trouble here.”
As a guard, Huang Bing knew more than ordinary people.
“There was one time someone tried to mess around in the territory, thinking they had many people and guns. It only took one night for the entire group of people to disappear mysteriously. No one knew where they went.
“Initially, we thought we were haunted, which caused panic among the people. No one would’ve known that the territory lord secretly got rid of the group if not for the official announcement from the higher authorities.”
Most of the information Huang Bing provided was speculation, and there was nothing to prove them except the last piece of information which intrigued Su Mo.
Beating someone to death was not a matter to brag about. It was simply an act of a scoundrel and was not impressive.
However, he proved his strength to be able to make a group of people with guns suddenly disappear overnight.
“As long as there was chaos in Origin Territory, no matter what their background was or what weapons the troublemaker had on him…
“It would only take one night if they hadn’t left the territory for them to disappear without a sound. There weren’t any exceptions.”
Seeing the waiter approaching with two Origin coins, Huang Bing hurriedly finished speaking and remained silent.
He would usually never do such risky things.
Gossiping about one’s own territory lord was not something glorious, regardless of which territory one was in.
Yet he was influenced by Su Mo’s attitude and then was treated to such a “luxurious” meal.
Facing Su Mo, Huang Bing felt awkward if he did not share some useful information.
“Let’s go. We can’t waste any more time, so we’ll head straight to the stalls!”
Su Mo took the two Origin coins and stuffed them in his pocket. He shrugged, stood up, and walked down the stairs.
