Without a doubt, Leo Ray’s next destination was to find Kombu, the President of Cyan Town Commerce Association whom he had saved by chance in the forest a few days ago.

If it weren’t for him, Leo wouldn’t have obtained information about The

Demonic Shadow Forest, his territory, and its surrounding areas so quickly.

The most critical piece of information was about the ongoing battle between two human kingdoms.

Of course, there were also the Tier 2 Magic Drug Qi Condensing Pills and the lost cart of Light Crystal Stones.

Having this connection, to further understand the detailed information and power distribution of Cyan Town, Kombu was naturally the first choice for breakthrough.

Returning to the matter at hand, Kombu did have quite a reputation among the surrounding merchants.

Thus, after a simple inquiry, Leo Ray and Taylor arrived at a shop called Nightingale’s Song without much effort.

Although the scale of this shop was far from Sanders’ Trading Conference they had just attended, it was undoubtedly the most eye-catching and magnificent one in the area.

“Welcome to Nightingale’s Song!”

As soon as they entered, a young waiter who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old immediately greeted them politely with a slightly immature voice, “Our shop mainly deals with the finest knitted goods, aromatherapy, and glass products.

We offer wholesale, retail, and professional customizations. Please feel free to browse.”

“We are not here to buy things; is your boss here?”

Waving his hand slightly, Leo Ray went straight to the point.

“Who’s looking for me?”

Before the young waiter could reply, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a brocade robe walked out of the spacious inner room of the shop. Without a doubt, the man was Kombu.

After looking them up and down, Kombu’s greasy face showed a puzzled look, “Do you two know me?”

Standing across from him, Leo Ray did not answer but simply removed the hood from his cloak, revealing his face.

“So it is you, sir! Please, come inside!”

On the other side, Kombu immediately recognized Leo Ray, who had saved his life in The Demonic Shadow Forest and sent people to escort him all the way, and couldn’t help but feel both surprised and overjoyed.

Of course, the main reason for his enthusiasm was the noble identity that Leo Ray had inadvertently revealed through Serena Clark at the time.

A noble young master with expert protection was undoubtedly what bourgeois merchants like Kombu, who had some money but desired power, wanted to befriend.

Thus, after respectfully ushering Leo Ray and Taylor into the lavishly decorated reception room, Kombu carefully poured tea from a delicate glass teapot and seemed to ask casually, “I wonder what brings you to visit me today,

“You are too polite, it’s nothing big. I just have some extra funds and want to see the overall environment of this town. If possible, I’d like to do some small business here,” Leo Ray replied with a prepared statement and a slight smile, “I am a rather conservative person and never fight unprepared battles.

Especially the overall safety and defense situation of a city, which is an essential criterion for me.

So if you could, I’d appreciate any guidance you have.”

“Sir, you’ve come to the right person!

I must say, I admire your insight!”

Hearing this, Kombu knew it was his time to shine and began to talk tirelessly, “Actually, the scale and strength of Cyan Town have already reached the standard of a small city.

However, due to the City Lord’s fear of paying extra taxes to the royal family, the change has been delayed.

As for the internal security situation, you can rest assured that there are over 2,000 soldiers under the direct jurisdiction of the City Lord.contemporary romance

Several powerful Tier 3 warriors serve under the City Lord, including the City Lord himself, who is…

Through Kombu’s elaborate descriptions, Leo Ray learned that the military strength of Cyan Town was far from ordinary.

First of all, the City Lord himself was a Tier 3 Nine-Star expert.

Apparently, the Tier 3 Peak powerhouse that Taylor sensed upon entering the city was indeed the City Lord.

Secondly, there were three loyal Tier 3 warriors under the City Lord.

One of them was in charge of the city’s standing defense force, consisting of about 2,000 Tier 1 soldiers.

Another one was responsible for the City Lord’s Imperial Guards, consisting of 100 elite Tier 2 soldiers.

As for the last one, he had already taken another 1,000 soldiers to the kingdom’s border battlefield.

“So, excluding that dispatched Tier 3 warrior and 1,000 Tier 1 soldiers, the main defense force of the city currently consists of 3 Tier 3 warriors, including the City Lord himself, 100 Tier 2 powerhouses, and 2,000 Tier 1 soldiers…” At this point, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.

“Sir, besides the regular army forces, there are two other significant powers in the city.”

Kombu continued while refilling Leo Ray’s cup of tea, “That is, the various permanent Mercenary Corps and Sanders’ Trading Conference.” “Oh? The Sanders’ Trading Conference is also one of them?”

Hearing this, Leo Ray appeared surprised.

“It seems that sir already has some understanding of Sanders’ Trading

Conference.”

Kombu set down the delicate glass teapot and continued, “One of the kingdom’s prestigious Sanders Family runs the business in Cyan Town, with two Tier 3 powerhouses and nearly a hundred guards.

One of them is the president himself, and the other is the chief appraiser, Master Mason Banks.

However, it is said that the president of Sanders’ Trading Conference in Cyan Town belongs to the collateral branch of the Sanders Family and is not well-received by the family. That’s why he was assigned to such a remote place as Cyan Town.”

“I see.” Leo Ray nodded softly and asked, “What about the other Mercenary force?

“To answer sir’s question, the mercenary forces within the city are a bit complicated.”

After taking a sip of the steaming black tea, Kombu continued, “There are over

1,000 mercenaries in the city, including a small portion of them led by Blood Scorpion Mercenary Corps with about 200 members who are closely aligned with the City Lord.

When the Defense Army is unable to get involved, these mercenaries often do the dirty work for the City Lord.

Thus, with the City Lord’s support and the fact that the leader of the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Corps is a long-established Tier 3 Senior Powerhouse, these people tend to act tyrannically in the city, leaving others to only dare to be angry but not to speak out.

However, I just heard that the Vice-Commander of Blood Scorpion, Noah

Woods, seems to have been mysteriously poisoned by food…”

“Maybe it’s retribution..” Leo Ray shook his head with a wry smile and then asked Kombu with a sharp gaze, “Does this City Lord not have a good reputation?
