Chapter 109 - 107: When it’s Time to be Tough, Be Tough! (Extra for every 30 votes)
Shihe City is a remote and small city in the Black Water Kingdom, and it is also a mountain city.
Shihe City is very close to the Yin Mountain Range, yet its mining industry is extremely developed.
The black iron and violet copper that are abundant here are top-quality materials for weapons and armors. A tenth of the Black Water Kingdom’s ore for weapon manufacturing comes from Shihe City.
The prosperity of the mining industry has made Shihe City very flourishing, and it has also allowed one or two families with over a hundred years of inheritance to emerge.
The continuation of these families relies not only on wealth but more so on martial strength. Without the protection of martial strength, wealth is as vulnerable as a stripped bare beauty.
The Che Family of Shihe City is such a mining family.
After a hundred or two hundred years of inheritance and management, over thirty percent of the ore of Shihe City comes from the Shi family.
What was passed down along with that was their martial strength.
Over a century or two, the Che Family has almost evolved into a small sect, continuously developing its own martial force and seeking opportunities to thrive among other major powers.
Today, the gates of the Che Family in Shihe City stood wide open. The family patriarch, Che Tiejun, was anxiously looking out with his two sons at the entrance, while eight martial artists of various appearances, both old and young, stood impatiently inside the courtyard.
