“Please be honest, Sir. Is there anything you want from us? If there is, you can talk about it directly.”
Gustav stared at Ark with a horrified expression. Although he looked calm and a little respectful, but he felt that the young man in front of him was playing around with them.
Gustav had a bad experience in escort missions. He and his comrades were played by assassins with some tricks as well as tricks. That person made them feel that they could save the escort target. Could escape several ambushes.
However, the killer actually from the beginning made them dance in the palm of his hand. In the end, he revealed that everything had been planned. In the end, except for three people including Gustav, the rest died at the hands of that person along with the victim.
Gustav had a premonition that the young man in front of him was more dangerous than the madman.
“Then I won't hesitate.” Ark nodded lightly.
Hearing that, Gustav breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than playing around with a few tricks, he would rather do everything in a straightforward manner. So what Ark said made him feel that the burden on his shoulders instantly became lighter.
“So, what do you guys want from us, gentlemen?” ask Gustav.
“First information. I want information about the whole city from you. Be it the most prominent large groups, the placement of their territory, and information about their leaders. Besides, I also want information about some areas in the city that are considered as dangerous zones and the reason why.
Of course, this is not coercion. I want information, but will also pay the appropriate price. But you must remember, the information you convey must be true. You also have to keep it a secret about us. Fair enough, right?”
“Are you really going to buy information, Mr Hades?” ask Gustav.
“Of course, I bought important information.”
“So ..”
Gustav did not expect that such information could actually be sold, so he felt a bit confused. After all, this is not a normal time where food is cheap. The man felt that Ark's way of wasting food was quite strange.
“Of course you should remember. We trade, so there should be no mistakes here. If up to the price the information is not appropriate or there is incorrect information ..”
The killing intent instantly suffocated everyone in the room. They are scared and have difficulty breathing. The men then saw a pair of ruby-like red eyes behind the mask staring at them.
A few seconds later, the killing intent instantly disappeared.
“I don't need rumors or anything uncertain. I want correct, precise, and detailed information. Do you guys understand?”
Those people immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
About two hours later.
Ark came out with two other people from the Thorn Dragon main headquarters. He then asked the people to prepare. Moments later, they left the place.
“Are you sure that the food is completely non-toxic, Gustav?” Piero asked in surprise.
“Should not. Why?”
“Isn't that too easy? I mean, we just give the answer we know, but get a ration of food that if used in an economical way, can to eat everyone more than a full week.”
“Rather than using such means, it is easier to kill us all directly. They won't bother poisoning the groceries.”
“That means, the young man called Hades feels that our information has that much price. Since such a person would not be at a loss, he would definitely use the information to make big moves.
This city will definitely experience a big change.”
Looking towards Ark and his comrades leaving, Gustav let out a long sigh. Knowing the storm was coming soon, he planned to make preparations in order to survive it.

After traveling for some time, Ark finally arrived at where Draco and Leon were.
Arriving there, the people waiting for Ark's arrival immediately greeted him. After that, they started cooking meat soup and porridge. On this trip, they brought a portable oil stove made by craftsmen. Although the fire is not too big, but it can be carried everywhere easily.
After eating together, Ark immediately asked everyone to gather to listen. He then began to explain all the information obtained from Gustav.
Finished listening, Leon was the first to react.
“Is this what is called natural justice? They are unwise and not strong. Those people did not find any parts of the zombie flesh to eat. They seem pretty bad at doing replanting or stuff like that.
But who would have thought such a tree would exist? Fruit bread? Really? Just hearing it makes me feel hungry.”
“According to the information, the bread fruit is actually a mutated breadfruit. The skin becomes harder, but if it is burned outside in some time, the inside will become like steamed bread. What a unique and extraordinary,” added Draco with wonder.
Looking at the two of them, Ark was still calm. Saito shook his head. He then said with a less agreeable expression.
“While the fruit is good, but according to them, the fruit is difficult to obtain. There must have been many victims when they tried to pick up the fruit. Didn't they say there was a big snake living in the area of the trees? According to their description ...the strength is likely to be around level 3. Am I right, Chairman?”
“Indeed like that.” Ark nodded lightly. “Although the creature was at level three and did not seem to have much skill, but its body was huge, so its physical ability need not be said anymore. Besides, the criteria seem to fit you well enough, Draco. Would you like to try it?”
Draco's surprised. He then answered sincerely. “If given a chance, I want to see it, Chairman.”
“You all don't need to be too stiff. Not to mention, you guys should know me enough. So, in your opinion ... am I going to let go of this opportunity?”
Hearing Ark's question, everyone was stunned for a moment. After a while, they immediately showed a grin on their faces. According to those people, their chairman was obviously not going to let go of the golden opportunity. Obviously, the main target was not the mutated beast or the loaf of bread, but …
The saplings of the bread tree that should have grown around the main tree!
“Seeing from your faces, you should understand what I want. Unlike the inside of the elite housing that already exists corn, tubers, vegetables, fruit, and various plants specifically for potion. We have started cleaning up the surrounding area, even starting the Great Wall Project.
Just imagine, if we could create a small forest on one side of a large wall containing a bread tree, all the old members and prospective new members would definitely live easier. So ...”
Ark raised the corner of his lips.
“Let's start the hunt.”
