Chapter 77 The Stalemate

City master had always thought that he would say something like that. Jack was a smart man to judge it, but what Jack did next was very unusual!

Jack knew that they had been united, so the city master would help the chamber of commerce, completely ignoring the lives of those homeless people!

Of course, Jack wouldn't allow them to be so presumptuous all the time. At least, he did all these things from a kind point of view, not completely for his interests!

Jack didn't want to move for a few days. He just asked his people to move secretly and tried not to be discovered by them. However, the city master discovered the people of Jack!

City master felt that Jack was challenging his bottom line. He decided to meet Jack in person to see what tricks Jack could play and what kind of courage Jack had!

Jack knew that the city master would visit him sooner or later, so he wasn't surprised about it! But he didn't expect that city master would come so soon!

The person who came to report to Jack told him that the city master had arrived at the door and wanted to see him. With a very calm and straightforward expression on Jack's face, he said, "Then tell him that I can see him now and bring him in!"

As soon as the city master came in, he saw Jack's incomparably cold face, and another person was standing beside him. He suddenly felt a little domineering!

But even so, the city master was not afraid of Jack at all. He didn't take Jack seriously, because he felt that he was the city master here and Jack wouldn't make any trouble!

From a certain point of view, it was a mistake for the city master to have such an idea, but Jack was also a reasonable person from the very beginning!

After seeing Jack, the city master said what he wanted to say directly, "You've already asked your men to give me an explanation about the matter of capturing beasts, but such an explanation is not enough to appease the public anger!"

"That's why I can't do anything about it. I can only ask you to stop capturing the beasts, and leave a way for others to live. There's no need to force others to die on this continent, just like you and the Ryan family!"

After hearing that, Jack walked towards the city master with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. Then he stared at him with his eyes and said, "Do you come to say these words to me today really for the interests of the people? Or for the interests of others?"

"If it's not for the interests of others, I think you don't have to come to me today!"

City master knew that Jack was mocking him and making him understand the reason. City master would pretend that he knew nothing, he said to Jack, "I'm city master here. All the decisions I have made are related to life here. I must be responsible for every life here, so I said these words. I come to you today because I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for this matter!"

After hearing that, Jack asked the city master to sit down and then explained to the city master in a low voice, "I think the reason why I caught the beasts is for the people. The people naturally understand, but why did the people of the chamber of commerce become so uncomfortable!"

"The people of the chamber of commerce want to make use of beasts to start the bidding and then earn the price difference!"

Feeling that Jack's words were a little inappropriate, the city master corrected him, "Even if they do it for their interests, there are so many people in his chamber of commerce who need to be supported. So, I can understand what he did!"

After hearing that, Jack sneered and said, "Understand? If you understand, you won't come to me today, right? You should go to see how the common people living in this city!"

City master had thought that he would have the upper hand if he came to find Jack today, but it turned out that Jack took the initiative.

"I'm the city master here. I've made all the decisions for everyone. If you need my help, how can I not help you? Today, I order you not to go out to catch beasts!"

Jack heard the voice of the city master. How dare he be so tough and order himself!

When the city master said these words, although he was a little afraid of people like Jack, he admired thousands of people and there were so many people behind him. Jack would not do anything to him. He was sure about this!

Jack was not afraid of the city master, of course. The reason why Jack was so polite today was all for the sake of his followers. If the city master couldn't persuade him but to attack his subordinates, they would be in danger!

So, Jack burst into laughter. He patted the city master on the shoulder and said, "Many things are not what you think. Since you have given me such an order, you especially come to me. If I don't agree, city master will probably live in my house!"

"But I know clearly what kind of relationship you have with those chambers of commerce. I hope you can be a wise city master and think for the people!" Then he looked at city master sharply.

City master was flustered by Jack's stare. He took a step back and said seriously, "Anyway, I have made myself clear to you today. If you don't agree to do as I said, we will take forceful measures. Next, we have nothing to talk about!"

After saying that, the city master shook his sleeve and left angrily. Seeing the back of the city master, Jack knew that the city master must have made up his mind to help the chamber of commerce this time!

Although Jack was not afraid of city master, his dimension space was almost as big as 1.5 cities, and he could use teleportation to leave the city at any time.

His strength had also increased to earth-stage warrior, and the enemies could do nothing to him even if he hid in the dimension space.

But he still had a lot of subordinates who hadn't gathered, fearing that they would be hurt.

So, Jack was worried about his subordinates. After all, it was because of him that they came here and obeyed his orders. If he completely ignored their lives, it would be too inhuman!

Therefore, Jack talked to the city master today was for the sake of his subordinates. Next, Jack would think of a new way to deal with the people from the city master!

"City master must have colluded with the chamber of commerce. Otherwise, city master wouldn't have dared to say such words," Similulu added, patting Jack on the shoulder.

Jack's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Similulu and said, "Of course I know he must have colluded with the chamber of commerce. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do that even if I gave him confidence. They had colluded with each other for interests from the beginning to the end!"

Jack had no choice but to give an order to all the members of the evil sect to return to the base. They were not allowed to go out to catch fierce beasts, and everyone must return!

Jack did this to protect his people. He was not afraid of the city master, nor was he making concessions to the people of the chamber of commerce!

Jack would surely use another way to let them know that he was forward, not stepping back!
