Chapter 1103 Try to Help Yourself Before You Ask for Help

After Lin Yuan read the letter, he gave it to Wen Yu.

She read the letter and said determinedly, “I am 95% confident that the writer is the Third Young Master of the Zheng family. The letter was written quickly. Clearly, the Zheng family’s Third Young Master is trying to gain favor with Sky City by writing this letter. He wants to know if Sky City has what it takes to destroy the Zheng family and give him a chance to make a comeback.”

Lin Yuan did not comment.

If Zheng Kaiyan had truly written this letter, it would be good news to Lin Yuan.

If Zheng Kaiyan became loyal to him, he could help Zheng Kaiyan rise to power and allow him to take charge of the Zheng family after he beat the Zheng family in the blood pact ultimate fight and gained control of their resources.

This would reduce the stress on the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and be able to gain a whole Zheng family instead of an incomplete one.

If Listen absorbed the Zheng family’s resources, he would have to replace all the people from the Zheng family and replace them with his people to be on the same side.

This would result in talented people that came from the Zheng family but did not have the Zheng surname being lost.

However, it would be completely appropriate for Zheng Kaiyan to succeed the Zheng family in such a time of crisis.

He would be heralded as a hero in the eyes of the other members of the Zheng family and save them from destruction.

At that time, most of those talented people would be saved.

There were no top factions in Indigo Azure City, and the sea also surrounded it. In Lin Yuan’s eyes, Indigo Azure City was a juicy piece of meat. However, he would have to call the number left on the letter to be sure how the situation would play out.

Lin Yuan called the number. When it connected, he immediately said, “Hello, Zheng Kaiyan.”

The person on the other end of the call was silent for a moment. But soon, he chuckled and replied honestly, “The City Lord of Sky City is truly capable. You managed to guess who I was from just two letters.”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow before he hung up.

Lin Yuan immediately replied harshly, “Try to help yourself before asking for help. Your survival is hinged on your worth. How much value you have determines how long you’ll live. I’ll wait for half an hour. The next time you call me, I want to know who is participating in the blood pact ultimate fight against Sky City.”

Lin Yuan promptly hung up.

Lin Yuan already knew that the Miao family was lending Han Tianhe to the Zheng family.

Everyone who was going to participate in the blood pact ultimate fight needed to report to the Spirit Guards in advance.

Lin Yuan would immediately know of any changes in the Zheng family’s participants with Liu Jie around.

The news about Han Tianhe’s participation was Lin Yuan’s way of testing Zheng Kaiyan.

Lin Yuan did not hope that this chess piece would turn out to be dishonest even if it could be helpful.

Wen Yu knew what Lin Yuan was planning, and she said, “Young Master, if we win the blood pact ultimate fight and obtain Zheng Kaiyan’s loyalty, it will be greatly beneficial to Sky City. When I was looking at the profiles of the Zheng family, Zheng Kaiyan had a high rating. However, in a large family like the Zheng family that is also reliant on the Miao family, the younger generation’s worth is always dependent on who their mother is. Hence, Zheng Kaiyan has been targeted by Miao Zhi from the moment he showed that he was talented. Ever since the incident that left him weak and wheelchair-bound, the most he can do now is wheel himself out for some fresh air.

“Moreover, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce has already decided on luxury goods as their role. This role overlaps with that of the Zheng family. The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce can completely take over all of the Zheng family’s resources and use the Zheng family’s geographic location to expand into shallow sea mining of resources.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Wen Yu had a similar idea to him. However, the Zheng family’s final path would not be decided by their geographic location but by how useful Zheng Kaiyan turned out to be and what kind of resources he would provide the Zheng family.

Lin Yuan did not want to make a scene and allow everyone to know that the Zheng family had become Sky City’s subsidiary.

Discretion was the name of the game.

Lin Yuan wanted the Zheng family to continue as they were while quietly helping Sky City.

Zheng Kaiyan’s rise in power could be easily explained away, and it did not matter whether the top factions believed that the Zheng family was connected to Sky City.

After all, there would definitely be traces left behind when Sky City secretly transferred resources to the Zheng family.

It was more important to Lin Yuan that the rising and veteran factions believed that the Zheng family had nothing to do with Sky City.
