Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The Keli Family’s Counterattack

Northern affairs would not cause much of a stir from Fang Jie for the time being.

After all, it was the Empire, and regardless of the number of Demigods on the other side and their condition, they were not something he could handle at present. Hence, Fang Jie focused his attention on the Sea Alliance.

With additional time, he engaged again in learning and research, or sometimes in playing with his foxes.

Having spent time together, Anya was no longer the timid, fearful girl she once was. However, she still appeared very nervous whenever she was around Fang Jie, resembling a scared little rabbit.

Fang Jie did not plan to do anything but found it amusing to tease the young girl.

Especially since her loyalty had already surpassed 90, Fang Jie was not worried about her rebelling.

Perhaps it was because her family was behind her, so her loyalty was practically at its limit. For people with other matters on their minds, loyalty was very hard to reach above 95, let alone the maximum value.

As time passed, the power in the Dark Night Elf Territory was steadily growing.

However, before Fang Jie could act against the Sea Alliance, trouble arose there first.

One day, Fang Jie received news that his Material Trading House in the Sea Alliance had suffered considerable losses. Seeing this, Fang Jie directly used the Material Warehouse for Instant Teleportation to Quisha Island.

At that moment, Quisha Island was completely transformed, displaying only natural scenery on the surface.

The previous scene of Undead everywhere spreading plague was now completely invisible.

At a glance, one could see fields of flowers and grass everywhere. Those unaware might even think it was an Elf Territory. Undead did not share this aesthetic sense, but it was quite amicable for other races.

Further away, Fang Jie could also see members of other races moving around.

These were not under Fang Jie’s command, so they must be from other forces of the Sea Alliance.

"Lord," the Undead greeted Fang Jie immediately, and not long after, Fang Hao also arrived at the location. Since the previous battle, Fang Hao had returned to preside over the general situation in Quisha Island.

"What exactly is the reason? Why did our Material Trading House encounter such significant losses?"

Fang Jie was surprised, given that the Material Trading House was based on the Material Warehouse. Because the Gold-level Material Warehouse could freely transfer various items inside it, all movements were internal.

Having one Material Warehouse as a base was all that was needed, and there was no need to move items out.

Even if someone destroyed the Material Warehouse, the items inside could instantly be transferred to other locations.

To store large amounts of materials, Fang Jie had also built numerous Material Warehouses in the Northern Plateau area, mainly to transport surplus materials. In any case of trouble, items could be dispatched immediately.

Even the managers in charge of controlling the Material Warehouses were Undead under Fang Jie’s command.

Since they were all Elite-level Undead, Fang Jie was not worried about any mishaps.

"Lord, this time the issue isn’t mainly with the Material Warehouse itself but with some external items. Many materials are not recognized by the Material Warehouse, so they cannot be transferred internally."

Fang Jie nodded, "I am aware of that; we have already discussed this issue before."

Fang Jie was indeed aware that some materials not recognized by the Material Warehouse still required traditional methods for relocation.

However, Fang Jie customarily played his cards close to his chest, so the Armed Airships were not dispatched to perform tasks in this location; instead, most special item transportation used Heavy Warships, utilizing maritime strength.

It was this very reason that caused the ports on the Sea Alliance side to be desolate but not completely abandoned.

And these items, due to slow transportation, saw continually rising prices.

Major ports, needing to use ports for transporting these materials, increased tariffs accordingly. These items, due to slow transport, were becoming more valuable.

"Recently, many pirate groups have suddenly appeared at sea. Previously, the materials we transported were attacked by these pirate groups, causing significant losses."

Fang Jie’s losses needed to be compensated, and moreover, the compensation was to be double.

It was due to these factors that the Pingan Material Trading House nearly monopolized the local original transportation businesses. It was precisely because of these issues that the current problems arose.

"I see the problems seem to occur in roughly the same region. Since this area continuously suffers attacks, why is there an increase in material transportations here?"

"It’s mostly to gain from the compensation, after all, it’s profitable."

"It’s not just that, right? If it’s just for compensation, what if it’s not received, or what if the transport goes through? If there are no other uses, such transportation would likely result in losses."

Fang Jie knew that for those in need, even double compensation might not be worth it.

Because it delayed their time and even their agendas, double compensation might not adequately cover their losses. Thus, there seemed to be an issue here.

"I have already investigated. Most of these losses involve tasks issued by specific people. Our investigation found that these individuals seem to have some connections with the Keli family."

With Rory, who was very familiar with the Keli family, it was easy to analyze a lot from these items.

Through these methods and understanding, Rory easily investigated the true origins of these losses.

"So, this means that the Keli family is striking back at us, and using this method. Because they issued the tasks themselves, they know the routes and thus hire people to rob them."

Fang Hao nodded slightly, "We also believe this is the case, but Rory thinks that we might have spies inside."

"Spies? How so, aren’t we using our own people?"

"Not all, to adapt to the environment here at the Sea Alliance, we have also hired quite a few people. Some are capable enough to enter high-level positions in certain places."

Fang Jie understood, so they had hired other people. "In that case, do we know who exactly is the problem?"

Fang Jie was very confident in his internal control, which was his foundation.

"We have some information, roughly able to determine who was behind it. Should these people be dealt with?"
