Chapter 669: Chapter 412: Three of the Red Race

When Sir Owen arrived, the Wind and Snow Divine Sword instantly sprang out from the Prescott Group’s building at the Ancient Crossing, flying up to greet his arrival - a ploy made only for credit.

Sir Owen quickly put the sword away - he was feeling guilty. Although Wayne Malvin still stayed at Sharon Mansion, the exposure risk could potentially rise if others had seen and mentioned it to Wayne. He felt as if he was having a secret affair with the Wind and Snow Divine Sword. What a scandal!

David swiftly moved in with his men to occupy the Ancient Crossing, while Owen led the others eastward and arrived at a majestic city, Sidon City

This place stretched out in every direction via waterways and roads, representing the Wood Dynasty’s crucial traffic intersection in the east. Nine thousand armies were stationed outside the city; the Horizon Bureau even set up a revered Lord’s Group inside, ensuring stability here.

Lord examined the authentic ledger found at the Ancient Crossing Prescott Group, and interrogated several key participants in the spoils division. After examining the Seventh Prince’s memories and piecing together various clues, Owen discovered that three days before the outbreak of Magic Wave, a Nanni Nation’s Merchant Team had traveled from the Ancient Crossing to the Sharon Mansion Prescott Group, transferring a population of about four thousand, then turned back. According to the usual speed of the Nanni Nation’s Merchant Team, they should have just arrived at Sidon City.

Also, according to past habits, they would rest briefly in Sidon City. The Merchant team would replenish supplies and buy some exquisite goods from the Wood Dynasty to sell in the Nanni Nation.

The Sharon Mansion revered Lord’s group trade with the Lester people was one hundred Spirit Jade for each strong adult, seventy for women and children, and thirty for the elderly and the feeble. If it was a cultivator, the price varied depending on their realm. For years, it’s estimated that the Sharon Mansion revered Lord’s had earned tens of millions of Spirit Jades from this trade!

After settling down at an inn outside of Sidon City, Sir Owen quietly gathered his men. He used spiritual energy to replicate the appearances of the leaders of the Nanni Nation Merchant team. He then instructed Bart: "Go and find out the whereabouts of these few people."

Bart went out and visited several teahouses for inquiries. It wasn’t too difficult to know that the merchants from Nanni Nation usually stayed near Spring Lane in the southern part of the city. Once he got the address from the local gang leader – having been heavily overcharged, Bart didn’t even bother to negotiate and promptly handed over the silver.

After leaving, he didn’t go to the address but tried to shake off his tails and then returned to monitor the outskirts of the gang’s courtyard.

As expected, someone soon came out of the back door to send a message. Bart followed the messenger and found the real location of the Nanni Nation Merchant team. He knocked out the messenger before he could get in and quietly identified one of the leaders.

Bart then stealthily left, went back to the gang’s yard, and subdued them all. After retrieving his silver amidst the cries and pleas of the gang members, he finally returned to the inn to report back to Sir Owen.

Owen immediately led the group towards the Merchant Team’s base.

...

Several carts of goods were delivered to the courtyard. Dawud, the leader of the Merchant team, was checking the tally. Feeling anxious, he urged his men in Nanni Language, "Hurry up, once we finish with the goods, no one is to leave today. Let’s leave first thing tomorrow morning."

His unease came from the mysterious disappearance of the Red Clan lords from the merchant team after they left the Ancient Crossing.

Nanni nation’s Merchant teams coming to the Wood Dynasty often had political backgrounds - they were secretly responsible for gathering intelligence about the Wood Dynasty. Despite the risks, any issues in today’s Wood Dynasty merely amounted to how much money could be used to bribe.

Himself among the eight Merchant teams responsible for the human trafficking operation - more specifically, the trade of people to the Red Clan. The Red Clan lords usually enjoyed their time enjoying the journey while the merchant team took care of their needs. These lords enjoyed the superior life, not likely to disappear without sound or trace beforehand.

Although the three Red Clan lords left a letter saying that they had left for the Nanni Nation earlier, intending not to implicate them in any punishment, Dawud still felt something was not right.

Dawud initially wanted to accelerate and leave the Wood Dynasty as soon as possible, but others in the merchant team didn’t agree. The human trafficking business was conducted for the Red Clan lords, leaving them not only reaping no profits but also investing money. Only buying large quantities of goods from the Wood Dynasty along the way could the merchant team maintain high profits.

Accelerating to departure would surely result in losses.

Dawud couldn’t block everyone from making profits, so he had to stick to the usual rate of progress, resting in Sidon City. The other members of the Merchant team went out immediately to purchase goods.

As the goods were nearly accounted for, Owen and his men arrived at the courtyard. He looked at the female general with interest: "General, are you interested in leading the charge?"

On the way, Owen had already explained the Merchant team’s origins to everyone. Against the Nanni people, who had harmed their compatriots, everybody had clenched their teeth with hatred.

As soon as Owen asked this, Greystone glared at him: when had she ever been timid? She emphatically replied: "I will head in and take them down!"
