Urban Super Soldier King

Eck was covered in welts from the beating, but he didn’t make a sound. He knew that today’s humiliation would be avenged by Xiang Yu.

The team leader saw that Eck wouldn’t speak despite everything. He was a bit flustered himself, and then he snorted coldly: "Fine, just wait. I’ll come back and deal with you later."

After saying this, the man hurried away. He returned to his captain to report the situation.

The captain was puzzled after hearing it: "How can a slum dweller be so tough? I haven’t heard of such a thing before."

The captain thought for a moment and then said to the team leader, "Leave this person alone for now. I’ll report it to the higher-ups."

The team leader nodded and left, muttering about how troublesome it was to deal with someone from the slums.

The captain’s report went up the chain until it reached the regiment leader, Lie Yun.

Lie Yun had fiery red hair, a somewhat burly figure, and could be considered handsome. He attended the last land division meeting organized by Wolf Fang and was aware of the slum situation.

"What is he here for?" Lie Yun lay on the sofa, speaking dismissively.

"He didn’t say. He just wants to see you, Commander," the captain replied.

"Bring him over. Those slum fools are useless," Lie Yun snorted disdainfully.

That day, he had met Xiang Yu and was full of contempt for him. In his view, without Wang Qian backing him, he was nothing.

The captain acknowledged and then called to have Eck brought over.

When Eck arrived, he was covered in welts, and his clothes were in tatters from the beating.

"What do you want with me?" Lie Yun asked impatiently.

"Are you the leader here?" Eck asked coldly.

"Don’t be disrespectful! Watch your tone!" The captain, hearing Eck’s inappropriate tone, stepped forward intending to act.

Lie Yun raised a hand to stop his subordinate and looked at Eck, saying, "Don’t be arrogant with me. Isn’t your boss Yang Xiao, a guy who just freeloads?"

Upon hearing this, Eck’s eyes widened, and he was about to rush forward.

A nearby person kicked Eck to the ground, pinned him down, and slapped him twice.

"Did I say anything wrong? If it weren’t for your boss having Wang Qian behind him, who would care about you? Slum dwellers are all lowlifes." Lie Yun sneered.

"Damn it, I’ll kill you!" Eck scrambled up, trying to rush forward again, but someone kicked him to the ground once more.

"However, Xiang Yu does have good taste. You’ve never seen Wang Qian, have you? She’s so **** beautiful. Why can’t I get such luck?" Lie Yun lamented.

Eck was furious. He wanted to charge forward, but someone kicked him down with every attempt.

Eck stopped struggling and instead began to laugh.

After Lie Yun had talked for a while, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Eck seriously: "What’s the main reason you’re here?"

"It’s nothing now," Eck coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Nothing? The **** did you come here for? You think this is a place you can come and go as you please?" Lie Yun asked angrily.

"Commander, maybe we should just kill him to avoid trouble," the captain suggested from the side.

"No, we have to give face to Wolf Fang somehow. Call their boss. Tell them to bring money to ransom him. Also, didn’t they drive here? Detain their car," Lie Yun said.

"That’s a good plan. I’ll arrange it now," the captain said before quickly leaving.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was standing with Xi’er, looking at a piece of land.

Xi’er agreed with Xiang Yu’s suggestion and then said, "This was good farmland before, but because of the war, no one farms here anymore."

"Great, once we lease this place, you take charge of finding people to develop it," Xiang Yu said with confidence.

The city’s development was aligning with his goals. Once agriculture was revived, everything else would fall into place.

He had his own economic foundation. As for industry, it would develop even more smoothly. Once they were strong enough, he could consider the resources underground.

Currently, because their force was too small, he didn’t dare to exploit the oil resources below; it would only bring disaster.

As long as they developed Sun City, it would provide a home for the brothers, and they would no longer have to wander.

Just as Xiang Yu was dreaming about the future, the phone rang, showing a call from Eck.

"Is everything going smoothly?" Xiang Yu asked directly.

"Are you Xiang Yu?" A strong voice came from the other end.

Xiang Yu was momentarily stunned, immediately suspecting it was someone from the Blood Alliance. Those people were most notorious, often taking hostages.

"Yes, it’s me. Who are you?" Xiang Yu asked calmly.

"We’re from Lie Yun’s regiment. Your man trespassed on our territory and has been captured. If you want him alive, come ransom him with money," the voice was aggressive.

"Alright, how much?" Xiang Yu asked straightforwardly.

As long as Eck and the others could return safely, Xiang Yu didn’t care about the money.

The person hadn’t expected Xiang Yu to agree so readily. Originally, they planned to ask for a million, but the caller changed his mind and said, "Two million, not a penny less."

"Fine, I’ll have someone bring the money over now. Where’s the transaction taking place?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Just bring the money directly," the person said smugly.

"Alright." Xiang Yu said and hung up the phone.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s change in expression, Xi’er asked worriedly, "Whose call was that? Is everything alright?"

Xiang Yu shook his head and smiled, "It’s fine, don’t worry. You go ahead and pick some people. When it’s planting season, we’ll farm here." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"But this land..." Xi’er was concerned since the land wasn’t theirs.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll handle it," Xiang Yu said, then walked away.

He called Long Wu, asking her to prepare two million, then made calls to Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan separately.

Right then, Tie Zhuzi was busy recruiting people. Upon getting Xiang Yu’s call, he rushed over.

Xiao Xuan also came; he knew something must have happened.

"Xiao Xuan, have our **** protection brothers ready; we have a mission soon," Xiang Yu said seriously.

"Understood, brother," Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Brother Yu, the self-defense force has also recruited many new brothers. Let them join in too," Tie Zhuzi suggested.

Xiang Yu shook his head, "This mission is dangerous. They’re untrained and it might not work."

The three discussed things there, and soon Long Wu had the money prepared.

Two million was no small amount, but to Xiang Yu and his group, it was nothing—Lie Yun’s regiment underestimated them.

If it was to save Eck, Xiang Yu wouldn’t bat an eyelid even if it were two hundred million.

"Zhuzi, take a few people and get Eck back," Xiang Yu said sternly.

"Alright, I’m going now," Tie Zhuzi said straightforwardly.

"Xiao Xuan, investigate detailed information on Lie Yun’s regiment; we have work to do," Xiang Yu said with a cold smile...
