Star of Civilization

This deal seems to be a very good deal for Joyna, who is eager to obtain a large amount of material basis.

Joyner recognizes that even in such chaotic times, the social order of mankind maintains some invisible hand of checking—like money.

It is the same in any era, whether it is an era of material wealth or material scarcity.

Consumerism is always one of the means to ensure the distribution of materials, but basic consumption cannot satisfy the vanity of those who claim to be superior.

Therefore, consuming the products of other people's labor is sublimated by them into a more glorious and symbolic means.

Money can represent not only a person's identity value, but also the social status that a person has. So things bought with money are the easiest to satisfy. Money becomes jewelry, fancy clothes, big gold teeth in the mouth, and luxuries that are completely useless. Like stitching monsters, they decorate the worldly people who love vanity. on the person.

Of course Joyner knew how it felt.

Because she has already seen clearly the social structure of this era, as well as the disparity of people's status and stratum, which are the essence of the laws of social operation.

This apocalyptic world is no different from the previous human world, and everyone still has the same ideas and practices.

She didn't know whether to be happy or sad about it.

No one cares where your money comes from or if it's stained with other people's blood anyway. People only care if you have money and how much you have. With this large sum of money, Joyna can do a lot of things, so she feels very relieved now.

But before that, Joyner kept telling herself that she had to act more carefully.

Just as Joyna was thinking with joy, she noticed that the corner of her cloak moved twice. Looking down, it turned out that Harris reached out and tugged at the placket of her clothes.

"What, you..."

Seeing Harris' slightly wary eyes, Joyner realized something.

She raised her head abruptly, and sure enough, she saw several fierce-faced people pushing and shoving each other, swearing in their mouths, appearing from the street corner and walking towards them along the stone road.

"Not good!"

Seeing the clothes of those few people, the machetes and axe attached to their waists, and the aura of "no strangers entering" exuded from them, Joyna's heart suddenly tightened.

The tattoos on these four people and the gang marks on their chests are conspicuous, showing that they are members of a big gang, and they are likely to be the subordinates of the Xuanming Gang.

When they met on a narrow road, Joyna felt that these people were not good people, and they were definitely coming for her.

She clenched her fists subconsciously.

Joyna's feeling is very accurate. These four people came to this area to search the area under the direct order of Li Renxuan, the boss of the Xuan Gang. In addition to them, four other groups of people will follow.

"First Evolution"

This is a carpet-like search. The purpose of the gang thugs is to inquire about the news and find out the whereabouts of the assassin who broke into the city last night.

A few hours ago, under the personal command of Li Renxuan, almost all the members of the Xuan Gang were mobilized, and no one dared to be negligent or complain at all.

After all, this action is of great importance. More than a dozen of the brothers who defended the city died. This is an unprecedented thing in the more than ten years since the Xuanming and Ming gangs settled in the hidden sand castle. It is an extremely serious provocation.

So the gang members were ordered to find the assassin's whereabouts even if they dig three feet into the ground, and they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. If anyone here refuses to cooperate, or if they know the whereabouts of the assassin but do not report it, they will all be regarded as the accomplice of the assassin. They will be caught and thrown into the foul-smelling dungeon, where they will be tortured and killed.

What's more, if they encounter stubborn resistance, they can kill them on the spot without authorization, and kill them as an example.

That's not all, there are penalties and rewards. Anyone who finds clues to the assassin will be rewarded handsomely. Those who are not members of the gang can join the gang by exception; those who are already members of the gang can immediately be promoted to the leader of the gang, get promoted, and become rich in one step.

Those gangsters are vicious people by nature, and when their atrocities are protected and even encouraged by the law, it can lead to a horrific catastrophe even without reciprocation.

What's more, this is a "rewarding" purge. Driven by interests and nature, the gang thugs revealed their fierceness, and their cruelty began to unscrupulously release them in the hidden sand castle city.

But now, these thugs are not happy at all, because the area they are in charge of investigating is a wealthy area.

In Hidden Sand Castle, anyone knows what the three words "rich area" really mean.

The luxury here is not for the average person: the gardens that rise above are filled with flowers brought in from all over the world, surrounded by colorful colors and wonderful aromas. Groups of tall houses adorned with exquisitely carved jade are made by human hands and end in human realms. Cool water flows from the vast courtyard and runs day and night along the purpose-built aqueduct.

The Civilian Mountain across the street is like hell.

The power of these rich people is no less than that of the so-called gangs, and their family history basically has a dirty past~www.readwn.com~ Their wealth is all from killing and blood.

These people are not only rich and powerful, but also allowed to support their own gestures. These people are called bodyguards. In fact, their vicious and sinister methods are not much worse than that of gang members. Moreover, most of the wealthy people here are related to other gangs or the Xuanming Gang, and even some families themselves are relatives and friends of the gang members.

The rich all naively believe that they possess an enviable amount of resources and connections, and that as long as the hidden sand castle remains, the well-being here will never end.

Several thugs are discussing how to inquire about news in this wealthy area. They know what the consequences of being arrogant here will be. Although this place is also within the scope of the search, they are still somewhat uncertain.

At this moment, Joyna was immersed in a dilemma. She recognized what the marks on their bodies represented, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

How to do?

no way.

Joyna must not reveal her identity, nor directly kill these people. Because it was the street in broad daylight, and there was Harris behind her. So she can only bite the bullet and take the risk to see if she can get through.

In order not to attract attention, Joyner pulled down her hood and continued walking at a cautious and casual pace.

"Caught you, don't run!"

At this time, two well-dressed children were chasing and fighting, galloping from the corner of the street with laughter and panting.

The slightly older girl ran in front, looking back from time to time, completely ignoring the big man in front of her, hitting him with her head, but she was thrown out and lay flat on the ground.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now." She seemed to be about to cry and said with her head raised.
