Chapter 1402: Chapter 612: Bandits, Must Be Wiped Out At All Times!_2

Yesterday, Mu You stuffed her with another batch of goods, and now, even the dim-witted Lu Yao could guess that the origins of these items were dubious.

"Don’t worry, it’s not a trap, it’s more like a feast of wealth."

Mu You smiled, having already controlled his character to head to the Chief’s House of the Crow Tribe in the game.

[You arrive in front of a luxurious wooden residence at the peak of the mountain.]

[Several Crow Men, including the Clan Leader, have been waiting for you for a while.]

[The white-haired Clan Leader of the Crow Men comes forward to shake hands with you, looking at your familiar face, he pushes up his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "You are the Fool who inquired about property that day..."]

["Yes." You nod in acknowledgment.]

When Mu You first arrived, he had visited this Clan Leader but only had a brief conversation; it’s surprising that the old man still remembered his face.

[The Crow Man Clan Leader enthusiastically leads you inside the house. By now, the guest room is already set with a table full of food and drinks.]

[While arranging for you to take a seat, the Crow Man Clan Leader looks at you and asks tentatively: "If I may ask, among the Fools, you are...?"]

["You can think of me as the ’Clan Leader’ of the Fools. With just one command from me, the majority of the Fools would follow my orders."]

Mu You did not beat around the bush, directly clarifying his status. These kinds of negotiations representing two forces couldn’t proceed without emphasizing one’s own identity.

["So it turns out you are the leader of the Fools, an honor to meet you!" The Crow Man Clan Leader breathes a sigh of relief: "Our business hasn’t been good lately, the sudden arrival of nobles has been like timely rain for us..."]

["Not at all, it’s our first time here, and we’re fortunate for the trading environment provided by this precious land, which greatly facilitates our daily needs..."]

The old man didn’t bring up any substantial matters at first, only incessantly flattering him and the Fools.

Mu You was not in a rush either, reciprocating the business flattery with the other party.

As both parties exchanged pleasantries and made conversation, it was indeed the Crow Men who could not sit still first and brought up the main topic at hand.

[The Crow Man Clan Leader gives you an apologetic smile: "You must have heard about the recent events. The establishment of nobles in our tribe has brought us a large number of customers, which should be good, but unfortunately, we are plagued with bandits at the moment, and it is the peak period for the hemp bandits. If any Fools lose their wealth on our territory, I personally feel deep regret..."]

["The Clan Leader need not blame himself; we Fools all have the ability to guard our own wealth. Not many have been robbed, and besides, those who stole from us were hemp bandits, not the Crow Men. We Fools still distinguish between friends and enemies clearly..."]

[Your pointed words make several of the Crow Men elders chuckle dryly, their expressions somewhat unnatural.]

[Only the Crow Man Clan Leader remains calm and composed: "Speaking of which, we have been fighting bandits for years, but unfortunately, the Crow Tribe is not known for its Combat Power. These hemp bandits are elusive and agile, good at fleeing, like worms rooted within the Crow Men, leaving us helpless against them. If this continues, not only will our reputation as Crow Men be tarnished, but it will also affect everyone’s business greatly..."]

["The Clan Leader can rest assured, the hemp bandits have also stolen from us Fools. If we get the chance, we likewise will not let them off easily." You reply.]

[Upon hearing this, the Crow Man Clan Leader’s eyes light up: "Does this mean that the nobles are willing to take the initiative to help us fight the bandits?"]

["Of course, from now on we are neighbors. Helping to fight bandits is only right; after all, it’s also in the Fools’ interest."]

[Your reply makes the Crow Men feel elated. One of the Crow Men asks subconsciously: "Fighting bandits should be done sooner rather than later; when do the Fools plan to take action?"]

["No rush, I am personally willing to help unconditionally, but my subordinates, after all, depend on me for their livelihoods. It’s not fair to let them toil in vain..."]

Mu You doesn’t bother with subtleties. His message is clear: fighting bandits is fine, but they need to be offered ample benefits first before they will act.

In the Crow Tribe, the faces of the Crow Men freeze upon hearing this, exchanging glances and wry smiles. They know it won’t be that simple.

At this time, it is the Crow Man Clan Leader who actually breathes a sigh of relief.

His biggest fear was that the other party wouldn’t make any demands. Now that they are asking for something, it’s normal; this means their previous speculation was correct. The Fools and the hemp bandits are not of one heart; they could use the Fools’ hands to drive out the bandits.

"May I ask what conditions the Fools would need in order to take action against the bandits?" The Crow Man Clan Leader looks towards Mu You, while secretly calculating in his heart the bottom line of what he could afford to offer.

"Not much, just a token of seven to eight hundred thousand Divinity would suffice."

"Cough..." The Crow Man Clan Leader almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

The other Crow Men also have odd expressions. When you ask for a condition, you really dare to ask for the moon; seven to eight hundred thousand is almost the entire wealth of a Crow Man tycoon...

"You’re joking, that amount is really a bit..." The Crow Man Clan Leader says with an awkward expression.

"You mean to say you don’t have the money?" Mu You asks.

"Yes, all of us here combined probably couldn’t even muster half... Moreover, our Divinity has already been stolen by the hemp bandits. Just the day before yesterday, my house was robbed clean by them, and now I’m in a state of complete destitution, struggling to maintain daily expenses..." The Crow Man Clan Leader sighs repeatedly.

"Yes, really broke..."

"The few of us together, at most, could scrape together twenty thousand, that’s our limit..."
