Nightmare Apostle

Senior Brother Qingfeng once warned him not to underestimate this woman, even the Second Demon Uncle said she had some tricks up her sleeve. Twenty years ago, this woman looked the same as she does now, unchanged.

And at this moment, Senior Brother Qingfeng was also present, sitting on the chair slightly lower to the left of the woman, also wearing a mask, representing the stance of the hotel’s Ghost Slaves.

Yang Xiao and Fu Qingzhu walked to the empty seats by the long table and sat down. Opposite them were two other masked figures.

From their build, it was one man and one woman, also wearing the same You Character Mask. The aura they emitted made Yang Xiao feel somewhat unfamiliar.

Presumably, these two were the newly appointed Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis.

One must say, Peace Hotel’s efficiency is indeed high. It’s estimated they already had replacements lined up for those two dead ghosts long before tacitly approving his actions.

Just don’t know what background these two have.

"Since everyone is here, let’s begin." The woman sitting at the head position spoke calmly, her expression neither sad nor happy, "You should all be aware of last night’s incident, Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis were killed at their homes, and the culprit was slain by the Ghost Slaves who arrived later."

"After Peace Hotel’s careful consideration, new recruits are prepared. You three are appointed as the new three Marquises of Xiang Ma Town by the hotel: Marquis Zhengdong, An Nan Marquis, and Marquis Zhenbei."

As the woman mentioned each name, her gaze swept over the corresponding newcomers.

Upon being locked in by the woman’s gaze, Fu Qingzhu couldn’t help but clench his fist under the table.

The opponent’s gaze seemed harmless, but in truth, it was extremely oppressive, akin to a pressure he had never felt from his good brother, an Upper Ghost Level Apostle.

This is a true master, stronger than everyone here.

Next, the woman took out a map, a map of Xiang Ma Town, and without consulting anyone’s opinion, she directly used a red marker to divide the territory and sphere of influence for the four families of Xiang Ma Town.

Yang Xiao’s territory was reduced by about a third, all of which was allocated to the newly appointed Marquis Zhenbei, Fu Qingzhu.

The other two families also had parts of their territory divided, but the loss was obviously not as immense as that of Yang Xiao, the Pingxi Marquis, and the territory Yang Xiao lost happened to be the most lucrative area.

But Yang Xiao didn’t care, as it was being given to a good brother; he didn’t mind if the fat stayed in the family.

The other two newly appointed Marquises naturally didn’t dare defy Peace Hotel’s wishes. The fact that they could sit in this position was entirely manipulated by Peace Hotel, making the two of them mere puppets.

Seeing the four people below had no objections, the woman nodded with satisfaction, putting down the paper and pen and said plainly, "Since there’s no opposition, let’s proceed as planned."

"Gentlemen, before adjourning, I’d like to reiterate that Peace Hotel values rules and promises. Since you’ve all accepted this promise today, there’s no room for reneging."

"I don’t care who you are or what illustrious background or identity you have. Should anyone dare to outwardly obey, yet covertly disobey, break their vow, Peace Hotel will not tolerate it!" The woman’s voice wasn’t loud, but just enough for everyone to hear, heavy with threats.

Yang Xiao understood in his heart, this message was directed at him. The hotel knew he was an inspector from the Jiangbei Province Office; this was a warning to him not to think that his identity would allow him to do whatever he pleases here.

This is Xiang Ma Town, not Qinglan City, where the Patrol Defense Office holds sway; here, one must abide by Peace Hotel’s rules, no exceptions.

Faced with this almost blatant warning, Yang Xiao remained utterly indifferent internally.

He is no longer the hotheaded youth of old, and he doesn’t care to argue with the Chamber of Commerce behind Peace Hotel over such trivial matters; it’s meaningless and foolish.

He is strong, let him be strong, like a breeze brushing the mountain peak, he is fierce, let him be fierce, like the bright moon shining over the great river.

Yang Xiao sat steadily fishing, letting the wind blow and waves crash, he remained unmoved, acting as if he hadn’t heard, making the other party appear foolish instead.

After the meeting ended, Fu Qingzhu’s position as Marquis Zhenbei was secured. To familiarize him with the situation in Xiang Ma Town as soon as possible, Yang Xiao arranged a celebratory banquet in the afternoon and invited Fu Qingzhu to attend, to commend the brothers who contributed to the surprise attack on Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis last night.

"Wait, are you saying you killed those two Marquises?" Fu Qingzhu was astonished.

While attending the meeting at the hotel earlier, he was wondering who had the audacity to act under Peace Hotel’s nose; he didn’t think it was his good brother.

Fu Qingzhu, being so perceptive, quickly understood that the housekeeper’s last few threatening words were directed at Yang Xiao, advising him to behave.

"Why are you so excited over killing two people, I’ve even killed the Great Protector of Withered Bone Pavilion, what are those two guys worth?" Yang Xiao was indifferent, as if he had gotten used to it.

"Good brother, to be honest, ever since you left, the crime rate in our Rongcheng has decreased by half, with fewer violent cases than before." Fu Qingzhu realized he underestimated Yang Xiao, as he couldn’t see through his good brother anymore.

Through this reward and recognition, firstly it was for Fu Qingzhu to get to know his subordinates, secondly, it was to show everyone his relationship with the new Marquis Zhenbei.

The rules in Xiang Ma Town are unlike those in Rongcheng; it’s truly a lawless place where people dare to commit even capital crimes as long as the profits are sufficient.

The only thing to watch out for here is Peace Hotel; they are the real overlord.
