Chapter 126 Protector Agencies

Steward Hai seemed to have a strong sense of belonging to Chu Nuan City, and his tone was filled with pride when he said those words.

Fang Yue thought for a moment and understood. Just as Gu Yue Village was the white moonlight in Fang Yue's heart, Chu Nuan City was also Steward Hai's hometown. When his hometown became better and stronger, the people in the city naturally felt a sense of honor.

"Then what about the security issue? What if a thousand people start robbing, smashing, and making trouble?"

"That brings us to another pillar industry of Chu Nuan City."

Steward Hai pointed ahead.

After entering Chu Nuan City through the city gate, there was a main street.

On both sides of the main street ahead, stood a group of people.

These people, upon noticing Fang Yue and the others entering the city and passing through the city gate, immediately approached them with papers containing pictures, patterns, and text introductions.

"Brother, need guards?"

"Big brother, Xiantian (Acquired Realm) guard, 10% discount today!"

"Oh! Isn't that Steward Hai? You've got quite a haul this time. Do you need some guards? The newcomers are all Houtian (Innate Realm) experts, young and strong, all top-notch fighters."

"Steward Hai of the Dayang Merchant Troupe? Then isn't the one beside him… the breathtaking Yang Hongxia?"

Breathtaking?

Fang Yue looked at the Miss Yang beside him in confusion. Was her beauty really that impressive? Were everyone's standards so low?

Miss Yang ignored Fang Yue's gaze with a blank expression, pretending not to hear.

"30% off! I can give you 30% off the market price for guards, Steward Hai. Let me escort you for a while."

"Me too! Me too!"

"Miss, when will you hold another martial arts tournament to recruit a husband? I'm signing up!"

Listening to these people's words and seeing the Miss's increasingly dark expression, Fang Yue roughly understood.

She had some dark history and had played the trick of recruiting a husband through a martial arts tournament.

Wait, with her strength, shouldn't she have already married herself off by now?

"Disperse, disperse! The guards we hired are still with the merchant troupe. Are you blind?"

Seeing that things were heading in the wrong direction, Steward Hai scolded twice and gave the guards in the team a look.

Two Xiantian (Acquired Realm) guards stepped forward.

"Hiss…"

They were stuck in between, unable to advance or retreat, so they sold themselves to the Dayang Merchant Troupe as private guards.

Even so, they almost failed. If it weren't for Fang Yue, their merchant troupe would have been wiped out long ago.

"The Protector Agencies are a huge pillar industry in Chu Nuan City, supported by the Tian Shang Alliance.

Because the entire Chu Nuan City has a huge flow of people, coupled with the Qing Si and Lan Shan, who have a policy of strict investigation after the fact and leniency beforehand, merchant troupes or individuals who want to protect themselves and have security, hiring people from the Protector Agencies is always the right choice.

Don't look down on their unsophisticated methods of attracting customers. Those who can stand in the front row of this street are all large Protector Agencies in Chu Nuan City.

The further back you go, the smaller the Protector Agencies are, and the lower the quality of guards they provide, while the prices will be much cheaper.

If you occasionally dig up a boutique small Protector Agency, you can save a lot of money."

Steward Hai knew that Fang Yue didn't know anything about Chu Nuan City, so he explained in detail.

In short, unlike the Qing Si in Qing Si County, which had a 'cold male indicator', strictly guarding against outsiders, thoroughly investigating internally, showing no mercy to the strange, and killing criminals without question, resulting in a rising crime rate, everyone behaving themselves, and the night being as deserted as water.

Chu Nuan City's indicators were obviously in the style of a warm scumbag.

Embracing outsiders, allowing free movement within, and even holding parties at night, reveling until dawn.

In a word, do as you please, I don't care, I'll just warm you up.

The premise is not to cause trouble in Chu Nuan City during the day. Then you can do whatever you want. Otherwise, you will face a strict investigation by the government and even an investigation by the Tian Shang Alliance.

After all, the daytime traffic and trade volume are the real foundation of Chu Nuan City. As for the night, it has already formed a default rule, and no one cares anymore. Those who understand, understand. Newcomers who die at night are just paying a protection fee.

Fang Yue could understand the government's strategy of being lenient beforehand and strictly investigating afterward. When manpower is insufficient, this method can indeed concentrate power more effectively.

Ordinary people who want to protect themselves in this environment need to hire martial artists from the Protector Agencies.

Over the years, the Protector Agencies that the Tian Shang Alliance has focused on supporting have long been formalized and scaled up. As an exchange of benefits, the Protector Agencies offer discounts to the Tian Shang Alliance when providing martial artists, and prioritize supplying the Tian Shang Alliance before other organizations and individuals.

A behemoth has supported another behemoth.

The two are closely linked, firmly sitting on the throne of Chu Nuan City.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Tian Shang Alliance is not strong. According to Steward Hai, the Tian Shang Alliance is the strongest organization in Chu Nuan City, with an overall strength higher than other organizations.

It's just that to the outside world, people value the Tian Shang Alliance's merchant attributes more. By the same token, they value the Protector Agencies' martial artist attributes more.

In addition, the Tian Shang Alliance now takes action less often, basically letting the government intervene and the Protector Agencies assist in the investigation.

As the two were talking, the Dayang Merchant Troupe's stronghold ahead was faintly visible.

It was a large mansion, looking very imposing.

Someone at the entrance had already noticed their team and came to greet them.

They took a few more glances at Fang Yue, the black mist man hidden in the black robe, but didn't ask anything.

Fang Yue casually asked, "By the way, what was that martial arts tournament to recruit a husband that they mentioned earlier?"

Everyone's expressions stiffened, and no one spoke up.

Miss Yang glanced at him. "Do you want to marry me?"

Huh?

Fang Yue was stunned, but Miss Yang continued, "If you want to marry me, I will discuss it with my father tonight, and we can get married and consummate the marriage tomorrow."

Fang Yue's expression stiffened, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Miss, you've misunderstood…"

"Then please don't mention this matter, Night Guardian."

After a pause, Miss Yang glanced at the dirty handkerchief wrapped around Fang Yue's right hand, said nothing more, and led the way into the Dayang Mansion.
