Visiting Master Fei, they officially finalized the matter of serving as the Fei family's guards and heading to the imperial capital.

　　Several days later, in the morning.

　　In front of the Chang family mansion, Chang Yi and Miss Qingyu boarded the carriage together, and Xu Jingming and his group of three, along with fifteen guards, followed the carriage.

　　Xu Jingming didn't think much of it, because in the past month or so, Young Master Chang had often gone out to discuss business, trying to sell the Chang family's assets at a high price.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Half an hour later, they arrived in front of a building next to the official government office, which surprised Xu Jingming a little.

　　"The official brokerage?"

　　"Coming to the official brokerage?"

　　Mr. Lu and Miss Ziteng were also surprised. According to imperial rules, buying and selling transactions must be registered with the 'official brokerage' and have the transfer stamped with a signature. Of course, because the city was too large and there were too many transactions, many private brokerages had emerged. Private brokerages could handle many businesses, but the most critical transfer registration had to be done by the official brokerage!

　　This was the first time Young Master Chang Yi had come to the official brokerage in over a month!

　　The carriage curtain was lifted, and Miss Qingyu got out of the carriage first, then helped Young Master Chang Yi down.

　　"Young Master Chang." A man inside the official brokerage greeted him warmly.

　　"Is the broker here?" Young Master Chang Yi glanced over. "Where's Master Lu?"

　　"Master Lu hasn't arrived yet." The broker said with a smile, "Young Master Chang, you're a bit early. The official brokerage hasn't even opened yet."

　　Chang Yi waited patiently.

　　Xu Jingming and the other two were secretly surprised.

　　"Our employer is actually going to transfer the ownership without saying a word?" Mr. Lu exclaimed in admiration, "That's really fast."

　　"The sooner he sells everything, the easier it will be for us," Miss Ziteng said leisurely.

　　Xu Jingming noticed a luxurious carriage coming from a distance, surrounded by a large group of guards, with even more fanfare than Chang Yi.

　　"Master Lu is here." The broker's eyes lit up as he greeted him enthusiastically. Soon, Master Lu, who had a thick beard, got out of the carriage, followed by his steward and personal guards.

　　"Young Master Chang Yi is truly trustworthy, arriving much earlier than I did," Master Hu said as he walked over.

　　"The official brokerage has just opened, let's go in," Young Master Chang Yi said.

　　The two then entered the official brokerage together.

　　…

　　Flower Moon Gang.

　　The white-haired old man was reading a book, with tea brewing beside him and a maid serving him.

　　"Gang Leader." A figure rushed in.

　　"In all things, one must be calm." The white-haired old man glanced at him.

　　The gray-clothed man said respectfully, "Gang Leader, we just received news that Chang Yi has arranged to go to the official brokerage with 'Lu the Ninth' and 'Zhang Kui' today to transfer ownership! Lu the Ninth and Chang Yi may have already started the transfer, and Zhang Kui is expected to arrive in an hour."

　　"Today?" The white-haired old man was taken aback. "Why did we only get the news now?"

　　"In recent days, that Chang family bastard has been meeting with many interested parties in Lanyue City, and we weren't sure how the talks were going, including the two brokerages, which were only notified this morning!" the gray-clothed man said.

　　"The brokerages only found out this morning?" The white-haired old man smiled. "This Chang family bastard is cautious enough. If it weren't for the previous conflict, I really wouldn't want to provoke him. But, he slapped the face of our Flower Moon Gang and even assassinated a deputy leader of our Flower Moon Gang! He must be eliminated."

　　The white-haired old man looked at the gray-clothed man. "Go and tell the official brokerage to close for the day."

　　"Let the official brokerage close for the day?" The gray-clothed man was a little surprised.

　　"If he sells everything! The Chang family's property will all turn into silver notes. Without the 'text cipher', the money from the bank notes cannot be withdrawn, and the Flower Moon Gang won't get anything. We'll become a joke." The white-haired old man instructed, "Go, let the official brokerage close for the day. Old Hou of the official brokerage will still give me this face!"

　　"Yes!" The gray-clothed man responded and quickly left.

　　The white-haired old man stood there, his face gloomy, and said, "Invite Elder Feng to come." A subordinate in the distance responded and went to invite him.

　　Soon, a thin middle-aged man appeared, his eyes cold. Only when he saw the white-haired old man did he show a slight smile. "White-Hair, what do you want me for?"

　　"I've agreed to your request." The white-haired old man was quite unhappy, and said, "One thousand taels of silver! You lead the Crimson Moon Team with five hundred men, and let Phoenix Lake Hall arrange five hundred elites! Your one thousand men will take action tonight and level the Chang family for me. I want Lanyue City to know that offending my Flower Moon Gang means death!"

　　The thin middle-aged man was satisfied when he heard this. "You could have agreed sooner."

　　"One thousand taels of silver, and I'm already feeling the pinch." The white-haired old man shook his head. "After swallowing the Chang family, Commander Wu and the government will want their share. How much will our Flower Moon Gang get in the end? So many brothers have died, and we still have to provide subsidies."

　　The thin middle-aged man laughed. "The Chang family was able to kill Dong Xiao, so their hidden strength is not weak. It's a big risk for me to lead people to attack! There may be casualties. One thousand taels of silver is a very fair price."

　　"Alright, alright, alright." The white-haired old man said, "I'll have the Crimson Moon Team and Phoenix Lake Hall prepare quickly. We'll take action after dinner tonight."

　　"Okay." The thin middle-aged man nodded. He had to bring enough elites for him to be willing to lead the team.

　　The higher the strength and status, the more one cherishes their life.

　　One only has one life!

　　He wouldn't take action without enough compensation.

　　Watching Elder Feng leave, the white-haired old man nodded slightly. "Elder Feng's strength has long reached the first-rate realm. With the cooperation of the Crimson Moon Team, which also has five second-rate experts and more than ten third-rate experts, plus nearly a thousand elite cannon fodder, they can easily crush the Chang family to death."

　　As the gang leader of the Flower Moon Gang, he preferred to crush his opponents with absolute advantage.

　　First-rate experts... were definitely big figures in the entire Lanyue City, and their numbers were much smaller than 'second-rate experts'. They wouldn't easily take action.

　　******

　　Young Master Chang Yi and Master Lu were going through the transfer process.

　　"Thirteen rice shops and three restaurants, Young Master Chang is really generous." The people at the official brokerage were handling the formalities, and they praised him for it.

　　Chang Yi smiled slightly.

　　Yes, he sold the thirteen rice shops and three restaurants to Master Lu together.

　　In over a month, he had met with many influential figures in the city. Each time, he tried to sell other properties along with them. After reaching an agreement, Chang Yi also made arrangements with two buyers to have the transfer of ownership done on the same day. This was to catch the Flower Moon Gang off guard.

　　Rice shops and restaurants were sold to Master Lu.

　　Gambling dens and ancestral homes were sold to Master Zhang.

　　He would complete the business in one day!

　　"Where does Young Master Chang plan to go in the future?" Master Lu asked with a smile.

　　"I'm not cut out for business. I'll sell everything first and then decide what to do next," Chang Yi said.

　　Suddenly, a gray-clothed man came into the official brokerage, walked up to the person in charge, and whispered, "The gang leader said to close the official brokerage for the day, stop immediately, and don't let them complete the transfer. The gang leader has also arranged a banquet for everyone at the official brokerage at Drunken Immortal Restaurant."

　　"How can the official brokerage be closed?" Manager Hou was a little anxious. "So many people are waiting."

　　"The gang leader said to close for a day!" The gray-clothed man stared at him.

　　"One day! Just one day!" Manager Hou said in a low voice, "This is my limit!"

　　Manager Hou immediately got up and said, "I have received an urgent order. The official brokerage is temporarily closed, and all irrelevant personnel must leave."

　　"Don't be in such a hurry."

　　Master Lu frowned. "The transfer of the rice shops and restaurants is almost complete. There's no need to rush."

　　Manager Hou looked at Master Lu. "I received an order from the city lord to go there urgently."

　　"What order?" Master Lu frowned. "If it's a major matter, I won't stop you. If it's a minor matter... I'll apologize to the city lord. Manager Hou, what's wrong? Won't you even give me this much face?"

　　Manager Hou's face was ugly.

　　Chang Yi watched from the side.

　　The two buyers he chose, Lu the Ninth and Zhang Kui, both had great backgrounds and were not afraid of the Flower Moon Gang.

　　In fact, in Lanyue City, it seemed that Commander Wu and the three major gangs were the strongest forces. But in reality, there were also the 'Seven Kill Tower' outposts, official banks, and some wealthy families who controlled the economic lifeline of Lanyue City, all with amazing backgrounds.

　　Lu the Ninth was once a bodyguard of the empire's Great General of National Defense. Later, he retired and returned to his hometown with honor. Lu the Ninth liked to stand up for injustice, and he dared to openly scold the leaders of the three major gangs! Those people had to endure it.

　　"Hurry, hurry." Master Lu urged.

　　The people at the official brokerage looked at their own Manager Hou and obediently completed the formalities quickly.

　　"Thank you, Master Lu," Chang Yi said gratefully.

　　"That White-Hair old man from the Flower Moon Gang is very insidious," Master Lu said softly. "Young man, be careful."

　　After completing the transfer for Chang Yi and Master Lu, as soon as Master Lu left, Manager Hou immediately raised his voice and said, "Alright, we can't wait any longer. The official brokerage is now closed immediately, and everyone must leave."

　　…

　　"Reporting to Master Zhang, the official brokerage is tightly closed today." Miss Qingyu personally came to the door to apologize. "The date we agreed to transfer the ownership must be postponed by one day. Please be generous, Master Zhang."

　　"Hahaha... a small matter."

　　Zhang Kui sat there, playing with iron balls. He was nearly ten feet tall, like a giant, with copper bell-like eyes that carried a sense of oppression. He laughed, "But remind your Young Master Chang that everyone in Lanyue City knows that the Flower Moon Gang is watching your Chang family. Today, the official brokerage is closed, so the Flower Moon Gang will definitely not tolerate it. I hope to see a living Chang Yi tomorrow."

　　"Thank you, Master Zhang," Miss Qingyu bowed.

　　This Master Zhang Kui actually represented the 'Nineteen Wandering Wind Bandits', a terrifying bandit group! The leader was rumored to be an 'ultra-first-rate expert', and the other eighteen were all first-rate experts. They led the bandits, plundering in all directions! They even dared to intercept and kill Blood Rain Guards!

　　To this day, they still roamed freely!

　　The official government had failed several times to encircle and suppress them, which also established the fame of the Nineteen Wandering Wind Bandits.

　　The three major gangs of Lanyue City were far inferior to the Nineteen Wandering Wind Bandits!

　　Zhang Kui, in fact, was just helping to sell stolen goods.

　　******

　　Inside the Chang family mansion.

　　"Seven thousand taels of silver notes." Chang Yi was in his room, looking at the silver notes in front of him, feeling very happy.

　　The thirteen rice shops and three restaurants were sold for a total of seven thousand taels of silver!

　　"Official bank silver notes." Chang Yi was in a good mood. "The text cipher is only known to me."

　　Even if someone stole the silver notes, they wouldn't be able to get the money without the 'text cipher'.

　　There were two ways to withdraw money.

　　With the silver note and the text cipher, anyone could withdraw the money.

　　The other was for the owner of the silver note to go in person, prove their identity, and provide the text cipher! Even without the silver note, they could withdraw the money.

　　"Once I complete the transaction with Zhang Kui and sell the gambling dens and ancestral home, then it will be a great success." Chang Yi thought, "But the Flower Moon Gang even closed the official brokerage today, so it seems they are getting anxious."

　　"Hmph..."

　　"Flower Moon Gang, do you think my silver is so easy to snatch?" Chang Yi's eyes were cold.

　　…

　　The Chang family was heavily guarded, and many guards felt the oppressive atmosphere.

　　"Gentlemen, once I complete the transaction with Master Zhang, I will have achieved great success. At that time, your mission will be over, and you don't have to wait until the three-month period is up." Chang Yi hosted a banquet for Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng.

　　"Thank you, Young Master Chang." Xu Jingming and the others thanked him. It was indeed a happy occasion that the mission would be over in just over a month.

　　Chang Yi continued, "Today, the Flower Moon Gang will most likely come to attack. This time, we must knock out a few of their teeth."

　　"Don't worry." Miss Qingyu, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "We don't have to defend to the last breath. After all, the young master can quietly log off at any time. When it's time to retreat, I will order a retreat."

　　"If you three die in battle," Chang Yi said, "I will pay an additional 100,000 universe coins. Tomorrow morning, you can change your identities and meet up with me again."

　　"No problem." Miss Ziteng and Mr. Lu both nodded.

　　As players, they didn't care about death.

　　"Die in battle?"

　　Xu Jingming frowned. He had made an appointment with the Fei family to go to the imperial capital.

　　"Oh." Chang Yi looked at Xu Jingming. "Mr. Jing has an appointment with the Fei family, so you don't have to risk your life for me. If you see things going badly, you can retreat first, hide where no one can see you, and choose to log off."

　　"I will do my best," Xu Jingming nodded.

　　The only condition for logging off in the Blood Rain World was that no natives could see you.

　　"Come, come, let's drink." Chang Yi was in a very good mood. No matter what, he had already sold more than half of the Chang family's assets, and he had carefully hidden the silver notes.

　　…

　　Gradually, night fell.

　　Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

　　Without any concealment, a group of people came and surrounded the Chang family mansion on all sides.

　　Thousands of people, densely packed. The guards responsible for guarding the Chang family stood on ladders, looking out through the walls, and couldn't help but change color.

　　"So many people."

　　"It's all people! The Flower Moon Gang is here!"

　　"It's the Flower Moon Gang's Crimson Moon Team!"

　　These guards easily recognized the Flower Moon Gang's famous 'Crimson Moon Team', which was the Flower Moon Gang's strongest fighting force, with a total of three thousand people, divided into six teams! There were six captains! Usually, they followed the gang's high-level bosses, but this time, one of the teams had been sent, along with five hundred elites from Phoenix Lake Hall. 'Cui Little Saber', the master of Phoenix Lake Hall, was also among them.

　　"Just this mansion?" Elder Feng, who was thin, looked coldly at the mansion, seeing the fear in the eyes of the guards who were looking out from the walls.

　　"Elder, shall I begin?" A Crimson Moon Team captain said.

　　Elder Feng nodded lightly.

　　The Crimson Moon Team captain swept over the mansion and said coldly, "This is your only chance to live. Surrender now, and we will spare your lives!"

　　The densely packed Crimson Moon Team members around him shouted in unison, "Surrender and we won't kill!"

　　"Surrender and we won't kill!" "Surrender and we won't kill!" "Surrender and we won't kill!"...

　　Five hundred team members shouted in unison, their voices resounding like thunder in all directions, spreading for several miles around Lanyue City at night.

　　And many of the guards inside the Chang family mansion were terrified.

　　Swoosh, a guard who was looking out from the stairs jumped directly over the wall and shouted, "I surrender!"

　　"I surrender."

　　"I'm not earning this money anymore."

　　Guards jumped out one after another.
