Chapter 2222: Choosing a Location
Zhao Hai replied, “Right now, it doesn’t matter if we get a good place or not. Our Blood Knife Gang’s name might be resounding in Split River City, but we aren’t much in Demonheart City.”
Liu Zhen nodded, he didn’t dispute Zhao Hai’s words. The Blood Knife Gang might be able to dominate in Split River City, but in Demonheart City, they are still small fries.
Zhao Hai continued, “Judging from Demonheart City’s situation, it won’t be long before people come and live in the outer city. Once more people come, all kinds of forces would follow. If we chose a good spot, we would only attract unnecessary trouble. What will we do if we are confronted by people we can’t offend? Do we hand our building over? If we are forced to hand it over, all of our hard work will go up in smoke. Moreover, the Blood Knife Gang’s reputation will be tainted.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Liu Zhen couldn’t help but stare. His expression showed understanding as he said, “You mean not only should we look for a not so good place, but it should also be out of sight?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “At the very least, the spot we choose shouldn’t be within the choices of the powerful forces. Then, the gangs that would choose our spot wouldn’t be much stronger than us.”
Liu Zhen hesitated, then he nodded and said, “Alright. There is truth in what you said. But I cannot make a decision on this matter. I’ll relay your thoughts to the Gang Master. He’ll make the final decision.” Zhao Hai nodded and no longer said anything.
At this time, the caravan has crossed the fifth city and entered the fourth city. Upon entering the fourth city, Zhao Hai immediately noticed the increase of cultivators on the road. It was also obvious that there were more goods displayed in the shops.
Despite entering the fourth city, the Blood Knife Gang’s caravan didn’t stop. They continued on and entered the third city. As soon as they entered the third city, Zhao Hai was stunned. He could rarely see shops in the third city. Instead, there were huge squares everywhere. Countless cultivators set up their own stalls in these squares and sold goods. The whole city looked like a large market with cultivators bargaining and advertising their goods.
Liu Zhen still didn’t stop. The caravan continued on until they reached the second city. The second city was very different compared to the third city. The second city was very quiet, and the number of cultivators wasn’t large. However, the cultivators in the second city were noticeably more well-dressed than the cultivators in the third city.
