The terms made them even more excited.
After all, the work would strengthen Glory City and improve its chances of resisting a beast tide, while offering conditions that were practically paradise to them. People flooded in to sign up.
Besides, the Wind Snow Family was overseeing the city defense renovations, and its reputation was far better than the Sacred Family's.
With Ye Zong and Ye Mo serving as its standard-bearers, neither man allowed the Wind Snow Family to bully men or prey on women, so the family had always enjoyed a good reputation in the city.
At least a hundred thousand people were on the move...
At the Sacred Family.
Shen Hong smashed a bowl in anger.
The renovations to Glory City's defenses had actually excluded the Sacred Family entirely!
He could not even plant a spy among the workers.
Of course he couldn't. With such excellent conditions, who the hell would agree to spy for him?
The Sacred Family's businesses in Glory City had also been completely ostracized and suppressed on every front.
Shen Ming reported the past few days' revenue with a bitter expression. It had dropped by almost ninety percent!
His face dark, Shen Hong could only order their businesses to scale back for now. The Sacred Family would lie low during this period.
He was waiting for that approaching beast tide, nearly ten million strong.
He refused to believe that those walls could withstand a beast tide of nearly ten million, no matter how they were renovated.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
In another courtyard.
Shen Ning and Shen Xiao looked at each other as they drank wine from their cups.
Recently, they had become the most highly regarded members of the family after its patriarch and Deacon Elder.
Even Shen Fei was frequently scorned by Shen Hong.
