Forbidden Zone of the Human Race - Chapter 486: Found Her

Naturally, Moray knew about what had happened to Xiang Ning. While he was resting back at home, he had been collecting information about Xiang Ning and waiting for him to reappear. But the only news he got was that Xiang Ning had died within the ruins. It was disappointing, but he couldn’t let go of the shadow in his heart. His bioweapon had been destroyed, he was humiliated in front of the Tulip and Violet household, and he’d almost died, too. How could he just let go of his vengeance?

“While I need to take my revenge, we should still complete our other objective. Contact the city lord and find out if they’re interested in conducting business with us. I’ve already done some research on this place. This city may be small for now, but it has the potential to become a megacity in the future.

“Marsh City is in a unique place. The city won’t be able to capitalize on its location if it stays small, but once it develops into a megacity, it’ll become a crucial location for the Federation. To the east is the Tranquil City defensive border, while to the south is the Southern Sea. Both of them are main defensive perimeters that can withstand attacks from the beasts. As a megacity, their logistics would be significantly improved as well. We need to insert ourselves into the city now. If there’s other corporations that deal with firearms, go and acquire them.”

“Understood, young master.”

Moray had brought a small team with him this time, along with a tier seven bodyguard that was affiliated with the Merchant Association. They knew that the young master was crazy, but the difference between crazy and genius was paper thin. The young master would act deranged to attain his goals at all costs, but he still had the insight to accurately assess the potential of a small city like Marsh City! Others had once considered it as a potential place to invest in, but almost all of them had reconsidered.

Now that Moray was an adult, he had also been given some power by his family. While he was searching for all the information he could find on Xiang Ning, he had found some details about Marsh City that distinguished it from the rest of the cities. Even though it was small, it had been recognized as one of the top ten strongest cities in the southern region. Its GDP had also tripled in the span of just one year. After some investigation, he found out that the city was expanding! That wasn’t something that could easily be done with just some money and power.

He had decided that he would be the one to control this cake that hadn’t even been baked yet.

After they arrived at the hotel, he recalled something else and instructed, “I remember there’s an authorized company here that sells dimensional rings. One of you go ask and see if they could give us priority and sell us some.”

Dimensional rings had been out on the market for over a year, but there weren’t enough supplies. Part of it was because the production wasn’t fast enough, while another part was because most of them were being supplied to the military. With the existence of dimensional rings, the military could largely reduce the amount of time and effort spent on logistics. Speed was key, after all.

……

Some distance away from the hotel, Xiang Xiaoyu was walking back from school, alone. She was now in her second year of junior high school, and the next semester would be the beginning of her final year. Even though she was guaranteed to advance, she had learned from her brother and didn’t stop studying. She was always first in her cultural class, and was also one of the top students in terms of cultivation. The teachers didn’t have to worry about her at all.

“Xiang Xiaoyu, I love you. Even if Teacher Xiang Ning is no longer with us, I’ll protect you in the future like he did!” A tall-looking boy approached and confessed to her. He was pretty good-looking, too.

The moment he said that, everyone turned and looked at them. Xiang Xiaoyu had grown to be one of the goddesses in her school. But she only looked at him once and apologetically smiled. “I’m sorry, but I would love to concentrate on my studies and cultivation for now.”

“I can accompany you to go study and cultivate!”

But she had already left. The students around him shook their heads. “He’s too young. Of course it would fail if he just confessed like that.”

“Tsk. What do you know? That’s the pure love of a student. Too young and naive.”

“Look at her. She was the person closest to teacher Xiang Ning. He was independent and had his own views, so she should follow in his footsteps. This reminds me of how teenagers always confess to mature, independent women.”

“I feel like that, too.”

“Xiang Xiaoyu!” After she left, a voice came from behind her. It was Chen Zixin, her closest friend.

“Chen Zixin!” Xiang Xiaoyu smiled as she saw her, but her grin vanished in the next instant. She continued walking ahead.

Chen Zixin saw her and grabbed her hands. “Alright, don’t be too sad anymore, alright? I’m sure senior Xiang Ning isn’t dead yet. He will return! We didn’t even see his cor—I mean, he’s so strong! Cheer up!”

“I’m not sad.” Xiang Xiaoyu stopped walking.

“Don’t lie. You’ve been walking home these days, right? You always return home so late! And you always stare at the walls of your house until ten o’clock before you realize that you haven’t eaten dinner, showered, or done your homework!” Chen Zixin was scolding her.

Xiang Xiaoyu sighed and hugged her best friend. “Thank you for looking out for me.”

The two girls hugged each other on the street. Chen Zixin sighed as she grabbed the other girl’s shoulder. “I didn’t mean to stalk you home, but I just can’t let you become like this. Let me send you home today.”

“I…I don’t think that’s necessary.”

“Dad! Stop smoking and come out!”

“Alright, I’m coming.”

Five seconds later, a black car appeared beside the two girls. The window slid down and revealed a face that resembled Chen Zixin’s. It was her father.

“Good evening… Uncle.”

“Hop in. I heard everything from my daughter. Cheer up, just let us know what you need and we’ll help as much as we can.”

“Thank you….”

“Alright, let’s go.” Chen Zixin pushed her into the car.

In an alley not too far away, a pair of eyes saw everything and kept looking until the car disappeared. He got on his bike and followed the car.

“Young master, I found the target. I’m now following it.”

“Good, wait for my signal.”

“Understood.”
