Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 805: Xiang Yu Comes for the Mining Area

"Why are you here?" Wu Yue looked at Shi Jian cautiously and asked.

Shi Jian patted his body from top to bottom, proving he wasn’t carrying any weapons, and then he smiled, "I heard Old Wu wants to sell the mining area here, so I came to take a look."

Seeing that the other party meant no harm, Feng Lan finally walked to Wu Yue’s side and took her pistol away.

"Sis Wu Yue, who is he?" Feng Lan asked doubtfully.

"Shi Jian," Wu Yue responded succinctly.

Although Feng Lan didn’t know Shi Jian, she’d heard of his name. Since Shi Jian had come together with Xiang Yu, it was naturally Xiang Yu who had brought him here.

"Everyone, sit down first," Feng Lan said, gesturing.

Xiang Yu swaggered over and sat down, then looked at Wu Yue and said, "This is the buyer I found for you."

Wu Yue wasn’t naive. She glanced at Shi Jian, then back at Xiang Yu, and finally asked suspiciously, "You’ve known each other before?" freewebnoveℓ.com

Shi Jian didn’t know what Xiang Yu had said earlier, so he remained silent in his seat. Xiang Yu, however, nodded and said, "That’s right, we know each other."

Feng Lan was also curious. Xiang Yu had only just arrived in this city—how could he already know someone like Shi Jian? Could it be that Shi Jian had deceived him?

Wu Yue began to suspect even more now. Could all of Xiang Yu’s actions have been part of a scheme to cheat her out of her mining operation?

Understanding their suspicion, Xiang Yu said nonchalantly, "To tell the truth, Shi Jian is my brother. Their entire faction was built by me."

Wu Yue and Feng Lan were momentarily at a loss for words. What did he mean by this? Could it be that Shi Jian was Xiang Yu’s subordinate?

Feng Lan was the most shocked. After all, it was she who had invited Xiang Yu here initially. Frankly, Xiang Yu didn’t even know about this place before.

If Xiang Yu had brothers wherever he went, then how powerful was he, really? If he had forces in other cities as well, wouldn’t that mean his influence was practically limitless?

Wu Yue, on the other hand, looked somewhat displeased as she stared at Xiang Yu and said, "You never mentioned this before."

"Well, you never asked me," Xiang Yu replied with an air of indifference. Since things had already come to this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore.

"Was all of this part of your plan from the beginning?" Wu Yue asked suspiciously.

Xiang Yu didn’t hide it, nodding in response, "That’s right. When I arrived, I already anticipated this moment."

Wu Yue grew agitated, feeling as though she’d been deceived. She had trusted Xiang Yu completely, but now that this had happened, she struggled to accept it.

"You just want to take control of my mining site, don’t you?" Wu Yue said, slightly losing her composure. At this point, it had become clear—Xiang Yu had exploited Feng Lan to ultimately seize the site.

Feng Lan, seeing Wu Yue so emotional, grew nervous as well. The trust they’d painstakingly built was now unraveling.

"Sis Wu Yue, please calm down. Things aren’t as you think," Feng Lan pleaded anxiously.

"Stop talking," Wu Yue said abruptly, pulling Feng Lan behind her. Her gaze, sharp as a knife, fixated on Xiang Yu.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yu remained entirely calm, shrugging slightly and saying, "This place might be a treasure to you, but to me, it’s nothing but garbage."

"What did you just say?" Wu Yue growled, clearly agitated. She had spent years here, developing a deep emotional bond with the area. Hearing Xiang Yu call it garbage was unbearable for her.

Xiang Yu leaned back casually on the sofa and said, "Sure, the profits here are high, but are you really planning to spend the rest of your life here?"

"If you all hadn’t shown up, I would’ve stayed here forever," Wu Yue retorted vehemently. Of course, it was mostly bluster—deep down, she knew she couldn’t stay permanently.

Xiang Yu chuckled and shook his head, "Stop lying to yourself. At most, you’ll stay two years. This kind of chaotic and filthy mining area is bound to be shut down and nationalized. When that happens, the government will confiscate everything unconditionally, and no one—no one—will be allowed to remain."

Wu Yue froze on the spot upon hearing Xiang Yu’s analysis. Based on how things were developing, it actually seemed plausible. The government had begun cracking down forcefully due to concerns over societal issues.

Everything was starting to fall into order and regulation. Her mining site had essentially been seized through brute force—it lacked official permits and safety measures, relying solely on human effort.

Such mining operations were incredibly dangerous; a minor mistake could lead to workers getting injured—or worse, killed. Previously, throwing around some money could resolve issues, but this approach wouldn’t last forever.

Though Wu Yue recognized the truth in Xiang Yu’s words, she couldn’t understand why he would want to take over the operation knowing this. Wouldn’t it inevitably lead to losses?

"We have our reasons for taking over the site. Of course, I didn’t come here solely for your mining operation. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time," Xiang Yu said firmly, staring straight into her eyes.

Xiang Yu’s implication was clear—if he wanted the site, he could’ve easily taken it by force. There was no need for all this back-and-forth.

Though Xiang Yu’s words were brash, they rang true. There was no reason for him to linger and waste so much effort otherwise.

Upon realizing this, Wu Yue felt drained and slumped onto the sofa.

Feng Lan immediately approached, worried, "Sis Wu Yue, are you okay?"

Wu Yue shook her head blankly, a sense of powerlessness washing over her. She had once seen herself as a significant figure, but now, standing before Xiang Yu, she felt like nobody at all—as though everything was firmly in his grasp.

Thankfully, Xiang Yu didn’t seem to harbor malicious intent. Otherwise, she might not even be sitting here right now.

Xiang Yu exchanged a glance with Shi Jian, who then spoke, "We’ve conducted a thorough assessment of the mining site and decided to buy it for 500 million. If you agree, we can transfer the money to you immediately."

"What?"

"Are you kidding?"

Wu Yue and Feng Lan were both stunned, their mouths agape. Five hundred million wasn’t a small sum, and the ease with which Shi Jian had brought it up left them momentarily speechless.

Even Wu Yue hadn’t imagined her mining site could be worth this much. Clearly, Xiang Yu had given them generous consideration in the pricing.

Wu Yue knew the site inside-out. Although Skinny Monkey had claimed last night that it yielded over a billion annually in profits, the reality was far from it.

The operation incurred significant expenses, including compensation costs after mining accidents. If they profited a billion annually, it would’ve been a miracle.

Yet here they were, with Xiang Yu’s group offering a straightforward 500 million. Wu Yue couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed. She’d once again judged them unfairly.

"No, I can’t agree to this," Wu Yue refused outright.

Feng Lan was surprised and asked, "Sis Wu Yue, they said they could transfer the money right now if we agree."

She thought Wu Yue’s refusal stemmed from doubts about whether the funds could actually be delivered.

Wu Yue shook her head and said, "It’s not that. This amount of money is far too much—we can’t accept it."

Seeing Wu Yue’s stance, Xiang Yu smiled in satisfaction. Wu Yue’s character was still commendable...
