Man at the top of the food chain

"I can't tell you anything about the people in the building you asked about. But during this period, I have seen several groups of people come to them. If you want to know more, just check this address."

Li Anping only got a note with the address from the convenience store owner. Although he still didn't know where the Lone Wolf's people went, at least he knew how to check.

People from multiple forces came here? What did they have to do with the evacuation of the Lone Wolf? Li Anping was confused. He still didn't understand the distribution of forces in Emerald City. So he could only pick up the note given by the boss, took a taxi and left.

Twenty minutes later, a bar appeared in front of him.

"Flashpoint Bar... Another bar..." Li Anping couldn't help but think of the Volcano Bar in Zhongdu City. But this Flashpoint Bar is much smaller than the Volcano Bar. The store door is only the size of a convenience store, and there is a passage leading to the underground floor. The whole bar is very quiet from the outside, and it seems that there are not many customers.

Li Anping walked down the passage and came to the underground floor. He opened the door and found that the whole bar was much larger and more upscale than he had imagined. There were not as many people in the bar as in other bars, but there were still quite a few. Most of them sat together in groups of three or four and talked about something. He walked to the bar, ordered a glass of wine casually and sat down.

Then Li Anping pricked up his ears and heard a few words.

"Have you heard that the Qilin Group and Zhongyi Hall are fighting again? Tsk tsk, that Fang Qi challenged the four kings of Zhongyi Hall alone and beat them so hard that they dared not even leave the door. This time, Zhongyi Hall has lost face."

"Alas, this Fang Qi is a southern barbarian after all, not from our Daxia. Although I admire his great skills, I still hope that someone from Daxia will beat him."

"I think it's coming soon. If the four kings of Zhongyi Hall all lose, can the others in Zhongyi Hall still bear it? And the people of Violet are not vegetarians either."

This bar is obviously different from ordinary bars. There is no dance floor and no lonely men and women. Some people came to drink, but more people came to drink beverages. Men, women, young and old, almost everyone was there.

There were all kinds of people, and the things they talked about were also all kinds of things. But no one thought that there was a Li Anping here who would listen to everything they talked about. Or did they not care whether they were heard?

However, most people were currently talking about the three organizations of Zhongyitang, Violet and Qilin Group. Li Anping listened and found that these three organizations seemed to be the first-class forces in Emerald City. Now they are fighting, fighting almost every day, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.

He began to doubt whether the actions of the lone wolf were related to the fighting between these three forces.

At this moment, a glass of wine was pushed in front of Li Anping.

"Hello, I'll buy you a drink."

Li Anping turned his head and looked at the person who was talking. He was a short guy with a sly look. A pair of small eyes were shining, and he kept looking at Li Anping.

"I don't know you." Li Anping looked at the man and said.

The man laughed: "My name is Dong Man. Is this your first time here? I've never seen you before."

Li Anping frowned, not knowing where he had revealed himself.

Seeming to know what Li Anping was thinking, Dong Man smiled and said straight to the point: "Haha, actually I'm a frequent visitor to this bar, and I've seen almost all the guests here. But since you've come here, you must want to get some information, right?"

Li Anping thought for a moment and replied: "I want to find someone."

Dong Man became interested and asked: "Who are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I can help you. I'm well-informed in Emerald City."

Li Anping hesitated for a moment. He had seen that this bar was a place for exchanging intelligence. However, he didn't know what kind of person Dong Man was. If he told him directly that he was looking for a lone wolf, would it be good or bad?

Dong Man seemed to see Li Anping's hesitation and said, "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry. This is my business card." As he spoke, he handed a business card to Li Anping.

"Usually, I mainly ask people for information. If you have any questions, you can ask me. But for some more valuable information, I will charge some money. Hehe. Then I'll leave first, you think about it.

Bartender, this brother's wine is on my head." After saying that, Dong Man waved and left his seat.

"Wait." Li Anping stopped Dong Man: "I do have something to ask you."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Please introduce Emerald City to me." Li Anping took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and put it on the table: "Don't worry, I won't give you less money." Li Anping killed many bullies and corrupt officials along the way, and he robbed the rich to help the poor.

Dong Man saw the money on Zhuo Shang, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. He put all the money into his pocket: "What do you want to know?"

"Tell me about the recent events of Zhongyi Hall, Violet, and Qilin Group." Li Anping showed off the names he had just overheard. He decided to talk about this and that, and occasionally interspersed some questions about Lone Wolf, so that others could not see his true purpose.

But he asked the right person. The bar where Li Anping was located was a gathering place for many retail investors in Emerald City. Some capable lone rangers who were unwilling to be inferior to others and pursued freedom often gathered here to exchange information. And Dong Man in front of him was a personal intelligence dealer. Maybe he didn't know some secrets or confidential things, or he knew them inaccurately, but he knew the surface news of Emerald City like the back of his hand.

He then told the entanglement between Zhongyitang, Violet and Qilin Group.

On the surface, Emerald City still belongs to Daxia. But in fact, the contradiction between Daxia and the northern power Ice Castle is deepening, and the power of the entire country is leaning towards the army.

So in the past few years, the government's influence on Emerald City has become less and less year by year. Coupled with the corruption of officials and backward systems, Daxia's influence in Emerald City can be said to be riddled with holes.

However, in the government departments, the police system still relies on powerful force to restrain the other three major forces, so as not to make Emerald City out of control.

The other three forces, one is the ** force Zhongyitang, which controls most of the Emerald City. It has been established for nearly 20 years and is an old force in Emerald City. It is inseparable from the local residents. Many young guys can't study, so they join Zhongyitang when they grow up and have a meal. Many times, it is even more useful to find them than to find the police.

There are two more, one is called Violet, and the other is called Qilin Group. Violet is a transnational smuggling group, and sometimes it also takes drugs and arms business. As the most developed city in the south of Daxia, and on the border, directly bordering the southern countries, Jade City is naturally highly valued by Violet.

However, their channels are different from Zhongyitang, so there is no conflict between the two parties, but they often cooperate.

The last Qilin Group entered Emerald City this year. He was originally a mercenary group mixed in the southern countries. The so-called southern countries refer to the 18 small countries south of Daxia, including Yunmiao Country, Baiyue Country, and Fulun Country. All are located in the south of the East Continent.

Because of the barren land and scarce natural resources, Daxia has never been interested in these countries, so it has always let these small countries develop. Therefore, Yunmiao, Baiyue, Fulun and other countries no longer have the threat of Daxia in the north, and in order to compete for the already scarce natural resources, they often wage wars, resulting in long-term chaos and social unrest in the 18 countries.

Of course, there are also rumors that someone in the Daxia officialdom is specifically responsible for provoking conflicts between these small countries and preventing them from uniting.

The Qilin Group is a relatively famous mercenary group among the 18 countries. The headquarters is in Baiyue Country, and they often accept the country's employment and participate in wars. Half a year ago, for some unknown reason, they came to Emerald City and wanted to occupy a piece of land and develop in Emerald City.

The local forces certainly disagreed, so under the leadership of Zhongyi Hall, the local gangs and the Qilin Group fought several times. Although the Qilin Group is a professional fighter, it is said that two fists cannot beat four hands, and they are outnumbered. Under the attack of more than a dozen local gangs, they were defeated step by step, and even the leader was hit by several bullets and his life was at stake.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

The leader of the Qilin Group had a son who just turned eighteen this year. His name was Fang Qi. He originally studied in a martial arts school in Baiyue Country.

After hearing the news that his father was seriously injured, he immediately rushed to Emerald City. Under the crisis, Fang Qi single-handedly withstood all the opposition and took over the position of leader. He immediately showed his amazing talent and terrible fighting power.

Under his leadership, the Qilin Group was bound to win the battle and swept through the big and small gangs in Emerald City within ten days. I don’t know how many big guys were killed. In particular, the ace fighters of Zhongyi Hall, known as the Four Heavenly Kings, were directly beaten back by Fang Qi alone, which shocked countless people.

Seeing Dong Man talking excitedly and pointing fingers at Jiangshan, Li Anping asked: "Is Fang Qi very powerful? Even if he is powerful, it is unlikely that he can turn the tide of a battle involving hundreds or thousands of people by fighting ten people alone? No matter how powerful he is, can he still compete with guns and cannons?"

"That's not necessarily true." Dong Man looked mysterious: "Brother, do you believe in superpowers?"

Li Anping's face choked, and he stared at the other party closely, constantly recalling the other party's words and actions in his mind, wondering if the other party was targeting him.

Seeing that he was staring directly at him, Dong Man just smiled mysteriously. After a long time, Li Anping said word by word: "Fang Qi... has superpowers?"
