Chapter 1720 - 943:

A few minutes later, Mr. Hu heard some commotion outside.

Mr. Hu sat upright in his seat, quietly watching the night sky.

The cigar in his hand had somehow gone out.

But he ignored it.

Ten minutes later, footsteps sounded behind Mr. Hu.

"Mr. Hu."

"Hm?"

Mr. Hu slowly turned his head.

Illuminated by the nearby lights, Zhou Xing’s face and shirt were covered in blood.

"It was that punk Biao. Scar approached him a month ago, got him to lurk by your side. Scar plans to kill you and take control of Southern Paradise."

"What did he offer him?"

Zhou Xing spat and cursed:

"After the affair’s done, promised him to manage fifty people, and said he could have Ma Dong’s daughter....."

"Beast."

Southern Paradise was initially established by four people: Mr. Hu, Scar, Ma Dong, and Madman.

Ma Dong died in battle during a mission, leaving only a daughter.

Out of old sentiment, Mr. Hu and Madman took care of Madman’s daughter.

Mr. Hu never imagined that Biao would betray him over a woman.

"Feng Wei got wind of the news, also leaked by Biao. He went to notify Scar’s men, who relayed the message before I set out.

According to Biao, Feng Wei followed Scar’s orders. Usually, Feng Wei opposes you under Scar’s orders.

Additionally, Scar plans to act against you three days after discovering Oil City."

Mr. Hu’s eyes turned cold.

He had already given Scar a chance.

After all, they were brothers; he never felt he mistreated them.

But people crave power, desire more, and are never satisfied.

Looking at the blood on Zhou Xing’s face, Mr. Hu didn’t need to ask to know Biao had been dealt with.

With a somewhat grim look in his eyes, he spoke:

"Prepare, act tonight and settle Scar and his followers. You inform gate Guard Captain Old Zhang, Chen Er, and the others, tonight at midnight, eliminate Scar!"

"What about Scar’s men?" Zhou Xing asked.

Besides Feng Wei, Scar’s men included a resource warehouse manager and two squad leaders.

"Besides Scar, eliminate Scar’s key personnel, temporarily detain the others, and observe their attitude moving forward," Mr. Hu squinted as he said.

"Mr. Hu, Scar’s son and his wife?"

"Hm."

Zhou Xing understood instantly upon hearing Mr. Hu’s response.

Leave no one alive.

He nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go now."

Then he turned to leave, ready to prepare the matter.

The black night and high wind were apt for killing.

"Wait." Mr. Hu suddenly called out to Zhou Xing.

He picked up a face towel and tossed it to Zhou Xing.

"Handle yourself, adjust your expression, don’t give away anything before acting.

Also, keep this matter low-key, only you, Old Zhang, Chen Er need to know, have Old Zhang guard the gate, don’t let anyone escape. You and Chen Er act personally."

Zhou Xing took the face towel, briefly wiped his face, and promptly stained the white towel red.

Thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Mr. Hu, over here, I’ll leave a few of them to guard you, in case Scar gets desperate..."

Zhou Xing pointed to the three guards outside.

"Hm."

Mr. Hu quietly nodded, not refusing.

Zhou Xing bowed to Mr. Hu, then turned and left.

Mr. Hu watched his departing back, a glint in his eyes.

Tonight certainly wouldn’t be peaceful.

He grew increasingly curious about the leader Li Yu of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

How did he know, how did he see it so precisely.

If he discerned all this merely through Chen Er’s few words, then Director Li was truly terrifying.

A mind like a demon.

......

The next day.

Sunlight bathed the earth, the morning sun always brimming with hope, giving an air of vitality.

Oil City.

Li Yu woke up routinely and ran around Oil City.

After chatting with Ma Sailong yesterday, he led some people to seal off wells, beginning repairs.

Although Zuo Ruxue and others weren’t experts at repairs, they had gone down the oil wells recently and understood them somewhat, so they went to help.

Xiao Jun had started reinforcing Oil City’s walls with others.

In Oil City, oil was abundant.

Li Tie had a chance to fly a helicopter back to the base this afternoon, so this morning, he begged Ant and Jackals to teach him how to fly.

Having them only meant Ant sat in the copilot seat, giving Li Tie advice if he slipped up while flying.

Thus, from morning, Li Tie began piloting the helicopter around Oil City.

He occasionally ascended to two thousand meters, occasionally flying low.

The difficulty wasn’t really in flying, but landing steadily required skill.

After two hours of flying, Li Tie focused on practicing landing.

After all, they’d have to stop at the Transfer Station to refuel the helicopter on their way back to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Li Yu ran around Oil City twice, drenched in sweat.

Oil City boasts three wells, so water wasn’t too scarce.

At least enough for their daily drinking needs and vehicles to have sufficient water.
