The Struggle Between the Skywing Alliance and the City Lord's Faction
Wang Yu thought about it a lot.
He avoided the skinny guy throughout that time.
The skinny guy has been paying a lot of attention to him these past few days, perhaps because it concerns the skinny guy's own future.
He cared more about Wang Yu's illness than he did about his own.
Especially after Wang Yu recovered from his illness, he came even more frequently.
The sales pitches are pretty much the same old thing.
"Following the city lord means living a life of luxury."
"Getting such a job opportunity is an incredible stroke of luck; most people would kill for it."
"As long as you work for the city lord, you'll be able to own your own house in the city. You'll really turn your life around!"
If Wang Yu had heard these words before meeting that person, he probably would have already been unable to contain himself and happily agreed.
But now he knows that he wants this money not because he himself has that value.
If he betrayed that person, he could certainly get a lot of money, and even own a house that his parents had always wanted.
The skinny man was completely baffled. "This is something most people wouldn't even dream of, so why do you seem so unwilling?"
Wang Yu's perfunctory smile froze. He didn't want to betray that person, the kind person who had cured his illness.
Is it possible that just because that person kindly helped him, the other party was caught out and someone wanted to use him, a nobody, to annoy them?
Wang Yu didn't think he could accomplish anything. After all, he was just an ordinary person who knew nothing, the One important person might not necessarily give him an important position.
But if it were him, and one day he kindly saved someone, only to be betrayed and blamed, he'd probably feel disgusted for a long time, right?
They might even think that everyone else is a bad person who doesn't deserve to be saved.
Like the kind of person who is willing to give up their own interests to advocate for all ordinary people.
Wang Yu actually admired him very much.
So while he was putting up with the skinny guy, he was trying to find a way to contact the One important person.
Fortunately, because the One person had said they wanted him to do something, and probably had been keeping an eye on his movements, someone found him within a few days.
Wang Yu was secretly taken to a certain place and met the One person Buxi, once again.
How have you been lately? Are you feeling better?
Buxi's attitude remained mild, lacking the condescending air of those elites.
Wang Yu was flattered and thanked him, saying, "My illness is cured."
Buxi: "I heard someone offered you a job, why did you refuse?"
Wang Yu clenched his fist. "Because I know that the job they offered me wasn't because of myself, but because I had contact with Mr. [the man]."
Buxi was somewhat surprised. "You're very smart."
Most ordinary people are ignorant, uncivilized, and vulgar because they are uneducated.
In the eyes of those in power and influence, ordinary people are nothing more than a group of useful tools, who only need to obediently do their jobs.
Wang Yu: "Although there are many things I don't understand, I know that what you are doing, sir, is a great thing, a tremendous thing for ordinary people."
"Although I don't know what I can do, I hope to make some contribution."
Buxi smiled and nodded, then invited Wang Yu to join the Skywing Alliance.
During this period, he had actually been keeping an eye on Wang Yu, and Wang Yu's performance had passed his test; otherwise, he would not have met with Wang Yu again.
This is just the beginning. The participation of ordinary people will allow the Skywing Alliance to grow rapidly.
Until this force possessed the resources to confront the city lord's faction.
The march has been going on for quite some time now, and some important spots have been taken over by members of the Skywing Alliance.
Although the city lord's forces are also exerting their efforts, the elites in the Skywing Alliance are not to be underestimated. The competition is fierce, to the point of disrupting assassinations.
Ordinary people played an unexpected role in this.
Most of the city's infrastructure is maintained by ordinary people who don't know how those machines are made.
However, they were responsible for the maintenance and replacement of old facilities.
Now, ordinary people go on strike and stop working; they take to the streets to protest every day.
Those who work only in refrigerated rooms suffer.
The refrigeration machine is broken, and no one is going to repair or replace it.
The sewers are clogged, and no one is going to unclog or repair them.
Water pipes are broken, circuits are short-circuited, the ground is broken, machinery is damaged, resources are scarce, and minerals are lacking.
It may seem like a minor inconvenience in the short term, but over time, it can escalate into a major problem.
The city lord's men have targeted the elites of the Skywing Alliance more than once, using methods such as poisoning, assassination, instigation, and infiltration.
Unfortunately, the people of the Skywing Alliance seem to be insane. No matter how much they are threatened or bribed, and even after repeated assassination attempts, they still won't stop their advance.
The City No. 3 Lord has been extremely annoyed lately, so much so that he hasn't slept well for several days. His hair loss has become even more severe recently, even though he is already quite bald due to his age.
Every time he woke up and saw the hair that had fallen onto his pillow, the City No. 3 Lord's face would turn extremely gloomy.
"I never expected these people to be so fearless."
The city lord, who held most of the power in the city, naturally possessed many methods. Some elites of the Skywing Alliance were unfortunately captured by the city lord's men and subjected to severe torture.
However, no one revealed any useful information, such as the whereabouts of the Contract Anomalist, the One the City No. 3 Lord had been trying to find out.
After all, if he wants to target someone, he needs to know where that person is first.
The City No. 3 Lord ordered his subordinates to cast a wide net; since they couldn't get to the elites, they would start with the ordinary people.
Wang Yu is just one of them.
Coercion and bribery are more effective against ordinary people.
Because they lack money, and also because they have family as a vulnerability.
Most elites are capable of protecting their families, and they usually send their families to safe places for protection when they take action.
While ordinary people are not involved in the power struggles within the city like the elites.
However, by participating in the march, they have entered this power struggle and become a bargaining chip in it.
The City No. 3 Lord was still there directing his subordinates.
The City No. 8 Lord received devastating news: the Divine Scion he had hidden had disappeared.
All the guards he sent to watch over the Divine Scion were killed on the spot, without exception.
Upon hearing this news, the City No. 8 Lord was absolutely furious.
"That guy came to my city?"
"What are you all doing? There are so many surveillance cameras in the city, how come no one noticed his arrival?"
