Chapter 673 There Is a Problem in Xueying Town
Hearing Jiang Jianmu's angry words, Ina Yerong suddenly seemed to have heard something ridiculous, her red eyes widened, she straightened up and retorted:
"This is impossible! Our Inaba family has never had any contact with the Nine Islands Alliance!"
After saying this, Dao Yerong immediately reacted. Instead, she stood up and said angrily to Jiang Jianmu:
"Besides, the one closest to the Nine Islands Alliance now should be your Tianou Group!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing during this period. After you sent those children to the headquarters of Casting Blade Island in batches, and then handed them over to the Nine Islands League, you now want me to take the blame for you. "?"
After Ina Yerong said all this, she felt that the doubts in her heart were instantly solved.
Yes, no wonder Jiang Jianmu attacked her so suddenly.
These days, more and more children are being kidnapped by Tianou Group on Inaba Island, which has almost caused panic throughout the island.
As far as she knew, this kind of panic occurred in addition to Inaba Island and the three islands controlled by the Tianou Group, and even the other six islands of the Nine Islands Alliance.
Years of cooperation with Tianou Group have made Dao Yerong very clear that catching those Liaozhou children has no meaning at all for Tianou Group.
The only answer is that the Tianou Group and the Nine Islands Alliance have reached some kind of deal!
The old and immortal Hui'an Chief may have obtained some dangerous ancient Liaozhou technology in the ancient ruins of the island core on Shouzhou Island, and he needs to use these children!
Originally, Dao Yerong thought that Jiang Jianmu in front of her would become furious if she retorted like this.
She was even prepared to fight to the death with the Tianou Group, and secretly began to mobilize elemental power, preparing to strike first.
Even after she attacks the general agent, the soul contract in her body will cause her to die at the same time, and she can't control that much.
However, to Ina Yerong's surprise, Jiang Jianmu calmed down after listening to her words.
This old man, who had been the general agent of Tianou Group for many years in the United States of Oran and had experienced countless storms, instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Jiang Jianmu had already felt that director Lu Feng's order to the general agent of the Four Islands to arrest the Liaozhou children had some clues.
Now, he was stimulated by Ina Yerong's angry words to calm down and began to think about the problem.
For a moment, the two most powerful people on Inaba Island, who had been tit-for-tat just now, fell into silence again.
Finally, it was Ina Yerong who took the lead to break the silent atmosphere.
"General Agent, to use the Tianou Group's profit-oriented words, I can't get any benefits by secretly joining the Nine Islands Alliance."
"Inaba Island and our Inaba family have been fully cooperating with you for more than ten years. You probably know better than me what betraying Tianou Group means to us."
"Grandmaster Kaguan cannot lead the lives of me and the islanders to become better, and the Nine Islands League will never be able to provide the benefits that Tianou Group can give to the Inaba family."
"Even if there is a soul contract in my body that could kill me at any time, as long as I guarantee absolute loyalty, there will be no problem."
Ina Yerong straightened her messy white hair, narrowed her eyes and concluded:
"So, I don't have any reason to seek refuge with Hui An Da Si and the Nine Islands Alliance."
After listening to the calm analysis of the rabbit-eared young lady island owner, although the expression on Jiang Jianmu's old face remained unchanged, the frown on his original frown had been slightly relieved.
Jiang Jianmu understood very well that this rabbit-eared Liaozhou island owner had learned a lot of experience in dealing with people in these years.
The previous owner of Inaba Island died suddenly due to a serious illness more than ten years ago, and Inaba Rong, who was still a young girl, took over the position of island owner at that time.
It can be said that Inayerong spent 90% of his time as the island owner dealing with their Tianou Group.
He had even heard the latent man say that the death of Inaba Rong's father was probably at the hands of Kaguan, the leader of the Nine Islands.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianmu's voice became much softer than before:
"It seems that the Nine Islands Alliance sent a small group of elites to secretly land on Inaba Island and go to Xueying Town to carry out some purpose."
"And after achieving their goal, they destroyed the mecha unit when they left to sow discord between you and me."
Jiang Jianmu made his judgment very rationally, and this also made Dao Yerong think of something that she was very concerned about before. She analyzed and said:
"The situation in Xueying Town is indeed a bit strange. According to the annual report provided by the Adventurers Association, Xueying Town has been attacked by monsters only a handful of times in the past six months."
"The residents there have not hired a team of adventurers, and given the remote location, you have not arranged for mecha troops to be permanently stationed."
When Ina Yerong was thinking, the white rabbit ears on her head swayed slightly, which meant that her mind was also running rapidly at this time.
After listening to her words, Jiang Jianmu took out a black tablet from his arms again, opened the screen and started reading silently.
In less than half a minute, Jiang Jianmu turned off the screen and put the tablet back into his pocket.
But this time, Jiang Jianmu let out a long sigh, and the strong aura he had before dissipated.
Only then did Ina Yerong suddenly realize that the general agent standing in front of her was already an old man.
Unlike the Liaozhou people, these humans from the United States of Oran, who do not have any animal characteristics on their bodies, are generally much younger than them.
Even a rabbit-eared tribe like her, whose life span is considered short-lived in Liaozhou, can live to be over a hundred years old without any accidents if she maintains a healthy routine.
As far as she knew, the common age of humans was only about seventy or eighty years old.
In the more than ten years that she has been the owner of the island, Ina Yerong has never seen even a trace of such oldness and loneliness in Jiang Jianmu.
She also suddenly remembered that she had never heard of Jiang Jianmu having any family members or children.
The general agent of Tianou Group, who holds a high position and is still decisive even though he is old, has always been like a working machine, alone.
Before Ina Yerong could think about it, Jiang Jianmu slowly said in a calm tone:
"The trading house in Xueying Town has had problems with the sales of monster materials in the past six months."
"Director Lu said in a communication with me a few days ago that the threat from the ancient Liaozhou has begun to come, and any abnormal situation must be taken seriously."
Hearing Jiang Jianmu's words, Dao Yerong suddenly trembled.
An ancient threat?
Could it be that it was described in the Inaba family's ancient books...
Demon King's Army? !
"Tomorrow, no, tonight, you need to immediately form an elite force and be ready to attack at all times."
"I will contact the Adventurer Association, recruit the strongest adventurer team, and set off overnight to Xueying Town to investigate the anomaly."
Jiang Jianmu ignored Ina Yerong and told him his next arrangements as if he was minding his own business.
But Dao Yerong keenly captured one word from what Jiang Jianmu said:
Director Lu.
"General Agent, please forgive me, I want to know...does your Director Lu really have some secret deal with Hui An?"
Ina Yerong struggled for a moment and finally asked her most worrying question:
"The strength and technology of Gu Liaozhou that the old poisonous snake has mastered are by no means inferior to those of the Stalker. If this is the case, he is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger."
Hearing Dao Yerong's words, Jiang Jianmu didn't respond at all, and his expression didn't change at all.
The white-haired old man just held his cane in silence and walked step by step outside the ancient house.
When he reached the door of this room, Jiang Jianmu stopped and did not look back. He seemed to be talking to himself and said in a calm tone:
"My daughter, now, considering her age, she should be as old as you."
"Is she married? Does she have children?"
"After all these years, is she...still waiting for the Liaozhou toy I promised her to bring her?"
Hearing these words spoken in a calm tone by Jiang Jianmu, Dao Yerong felt a strong sense of sadness coming from the back of the hunchbacked old man in front of her.
"Did you know that Director Lu just married his true love before coming to Liaozhou?"
"I attended their wedding. I understand that Director Lu is the one who is most eager to return to Oran among all the people in Tianou Group."
"If you really have a choice, even though you will disobey Lord Latent's orders, you can still lead everyone to defeat the Sirens and return to Oran..."
Jiang Jianmu didn't finish his sentence.
Having said this, the general agent of Inaba Island took another step forward without looking back, holding his cane, and disappeared from Inaba Rong's sight.
