Chapter 147: 153

Chapter 153: Outburst

When the convoy of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce slowly drove into the block where the Heaven and Earth Association was, Hong San was cheered and welcomed like a hero, just like before.

This was because the carriages of resources were real benefits.

Leona was very generous and had the decisiveness that an outstanding businessman had to have.

In the carts of food, there were not only basic ingredients like flour, but also vegetables, salt, sausages, wine, salt, and even sugar. These resources were clearly expensive, but in the silver-haired girl’s opinion, Mayor Nick was controlling and requisitioning resources in Valentine City. There was also the elf army eyeing covetously outside. No matter how many goods there were, they were already “worthless”—in that case, it was better to hand them to Kang De.

Even if she gave it to Kang De for free, it was better than falling into the mouth of Nick or the elves.

These resources were undoubtedly stimulants, especially sugar, wine, and meat which could be said to be luxury goods. They simply made people go crazy with joy. Or rather, in various strategic or management games, sugar and wine could be considered luxury goods. With them, happiness could be increased. This kind of thing was something that the people living in modern society with extremely abundant resources could not understand.

Therefore, the street was in an uproar. Children, women, and even men were cheering and celebrating.

Only a small number of experienced men and some old people were secretly worried.

This was because there were really too many resources. They also saw the weapons and armor carried in the other vehicles… No one dared to think carefully about what this meant.

Perhaps the current carnival was only meant for the people who were afraid and worried to release pressure.

Hong San seemed to have realized this and took the opportunity to announce that a grand banquet would be held tonight, raising the high and fanatical atmosphere.

This was because these displaced people had trekked all the way and had just arrived at Valentine City. Their lives could be stabilized, but they immediately heard the news that war was approaching again… They really needed to release their pressure.

Kang De’s gaze swept across every fanatical face and saw the three commanders of the Heaven and Earth Association… Pfft, Hong San’s three old brothers were also in the crowd. Their smiles were more or less a little forced.

He was thinking to himself when his right arm suddenly tightened. It turned out that Hong San had grabbed his arm and raised it high. Kang De turned to look and Hong San smiled at him.

“My friends, my brothers, my sisters, and my children!”

Hong San shouted, “You must be curious about where this huge amount of resources came from. You might think that I brought these back for everyone. No, I don’t dare to take credit. Just like how other than my command, there are also many brave people who have sacrificed themselves to obtain victory along the way!”

“In fact, these rich resources and food came from the rich Vidal Chamber of Commerce, and the person who brought them back is this lord beside me, Dong Zhuo!”

“He’s my Uncle-Master. In the words of the continent, he’s my mentor’s young classmate. I invited him to be our Chief Military Advisor! I think he’s already used his gains this time to prove his ability, because these resources did not cost us a single cent!”

The entire street was still jubilant earlier, but as soon as Hong San spoke, it was silent. Clearly, his prestige was simply about to reach the point of personal worship.

Everyone’s gazes landed on Kang De.

However, to them, Kang De was a stranger after all. Everyone’s gazes were curious and distant.

At this moment, Hong San blinked and smiled, “Do you want to know how he did it? This is because the person in charge of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce is a young and beautiful lady. She’s convinced by our Military Advisor’s talent, ability, and gentlemanly demeanor… At this point, does everyone understand?”

The trivial matters between men and women had always been something people liked to see. As soon as these words were spoken, the unfamiliarity and alienation of the people quickly broke. Everyone laughed, and whistles and jeers sounded. Some people raised their arms high and clapped hard, and the distance shortened.

Hong San smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to cheer for our military advisor now?”

Therefore, enthusiastic cheers and shouts surged like a tide from all directions.

Kang De and Hong San stood side by side and smiled.

However, their smiles were a little forced.

Next was to store resources and distribute them, as well as all kinds of complicated and troublesome matters.

Originally, such work of accounting for money, food, and resources had to be handed to the military advisor. However, Hong San knew very well that Master Kang had thought highly of him by coming to be the military advisor. Moreover, it was only in name. How could he be willing to do such a bullsh*t thing? Killing people was a different story.

Therefore, he arranged these things for his trusted aide led by Old Du to do as usual.

After all, Hong San was not stupid. The three leaders of the Song, Chen, and Huang factions were all ambitious. They each established their own mountains in the Heaven and Earth Association and developed their own small groups. Hong San saw this clearly, but he did not interfere much. He only held the power of money and food tightly and maintained his extremely high prestige in the team. That was all.

After all, he only wanted to protect himself and ensure that he would not die in an inexplicable fight. That was enough. In any case, if such a thing really happened, he could still run. He had long stopped doing it.

The leaders were escorted by the people to the single building where Hong San lived.

“Congratulations, Brother.”

Song Baoyi smiled and cupped his hands as he bowed, “This has calmed us down. With food and a knife in our hands, we won’t panic anymore… It’s all thanks to the Military Advisor’s strength. Thank you!”

Huang Chao also cupped his hands at Kang De with a smile, “Military Advisor is indeed a hero among men.”

Chen Honghu was still thinking about the conflict from before and barely cupped his hands.

Kang De said indifferently, “It’s a small matter.”

Song Baoyi looked at Hong San. “However, Brother, why did you go to the city hall for a meeting this time? What did the mayor say? Brothers, you have to tell us.”

This was the most important thing.

The three of them looked at Hong San.

The three leaders were all ambitious, and the increasing commotion of the Heaven and Earth Association and the smooth journey undoubtedly encouraged their ambition.

These people yearned to establish merits in this war in exchange for wealth and status. As for how many people would die, they did not care—as long as not many direct descendants died.

Let’s put it this way. If they were the ones sitting in Hong San’s seat, they would probably be overjoyed when they heard the mayor’s order. They were worried about not having a way to be involved.

However, Hong San was different.

Hong San was not interested in making contributions and becoming superior. Therefore, he cared more about the lives of the people on the team than Song, Chen, and Huang, be it the Goethe or the Cathayan.

Therefore, he was in a low mood, so he was hesitant and confused, and so he was in pain.

The three leaders looked at Hong San eagerly.

Hong San revealed a complicated and hesitant expression and sighed silently.

Kang De suddenly snorted and turned around. He kicked open the door and walked into the building.

Hong San’s body shook as bitterness flashed through his eyes.

This was beyond the expectations of the three of them. They had to talk about serious matters. Why did he leave?

Chen Honghu was the most scheming and ambitious. He was even more unhappy with Kang De’s previous slow treatment and contempt. He patiently waited for Hong San to say “Help Valentine and make a fortune”. Just as he was focused, he saw Kang De shake his hand and leave. Moreover, he kicked the door and closed it loudly.

He was furious and said unhappily, “This little…”

As soon as he said these two words, he suddenly fell silent because a bone-chilling killing intent assaulted his face, causing his soul to tremble. Chen Honghu focused his gaze and was horrified.

All the hair on his body stood on end.

At this moment, in front of him, Hong San, who had always been gentle and even a little weak and had an extremely good temper, looked at him and revealed an unprecedentedly ferocious expression. The madness in his eyes was so dense that it could not be melted.

He hissed, “Shut up.”

It was like the roar of a desperate wild wolf.

Humans were inherently animals and beasts.

Their beastly nature was hidden by civilization and would erupt for other reasons.

Kang De, who had grown up in a civilized country on Earth, had experienced a year of drifting on a deserted island in another world and had encountered the death of Glory Sand Town. Therefore, he had transformed into a beast, and fear and slaughter swept through the entire Viscounty.

Hong San was also human.

Therefore, he would also transform into a beast for some reason.

At this moment, it was the eruption after countless conflicts, dilemmas, and struggles. No matter how weak and servile a person was, they would still erupt with the nature of a wild beast. At this moment, he seemed to have become another person.

The strong emotions he had forcefully suppressed lifted a corner and revealed a ferocious expression.

Clank, clank.

This was the sound of Chen Honghu’s teeth chattering.

At this moment, be it the most scheming Chen Honghu, the most shrewd Song Baoyi, or the most knowledgeable Huang Jintong, they were all silent and broke out in cold sweat.

They actually underestimated Hong San.

Although the other party was very prestigious, although the other party had won many battles and they admired Hong San’s achievements, this did not conflict with contempt, because Hong San was not ruthless enough and was not enough to make his subordinates afraid.

However, now, they were afraid.

An unprecedented fear instantly clenched the hearts of the three of them.

When the leader who had always been nice revealed his ferocious and terrifying fangs, they would understand why the Alpha had become an Alpha.

In the next moment, a cold snort sounded from the house.

The ferociousness and madness on Hong San’s face disappeared, and he returned to his previous state.

However, the three leaders no longer dared to look into Hong San’s eyes.

“Brothers…”

Hong San sighed, “This is a serious matter. I’m very uneasy and have to discuss it with the Military Advisor. Go separately and restrain the boys. Order them not to relax. I’ll let you know after I’ve discussed it with the Military Advisor.”

Even the most troublesome Chen Honghu did not dare to say anything else. The three of them cupped their fists and bowed.

Then, they hurriedly retreated in a panic.

Hong San sighed softly.

He turned around and slowly moved into the house. Kang De was looking at him.

“Hong San.”

A cold voice sounded, and Kang De said indifferently, “You’ve grown capable… Tell me, why did you tell those people outside about me? Why did you push all the credit for bringing back the resources to me?”
