After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 499

The atmosphere immediately stagnated. They knew they were being watched, so they already assumed Fargo knew of their guests.

However, the press release was that Drake was an old colleague. While it was something worth checking out—especially with Drake’s stats—was Frago so free to check on them himself though?

Fortunately, all of them did well under pressure, so there was basically not much change. If there was any stiffness, it was understandable considering the history between the two groups.

It was Vanessa who smiled and stepped forward, "This is Drake and his lover, Jona."

"Yes, he’s an old friend of ours."

"So he’s a soldier?"

"He was. He was honorably dismissed due to injuries before though."

"Hmm.. how pitiful, but I’m sure it has improved with our physiques," he said, looking at Drake up and down. "You have an interesting ability."

Drake looked at him. "I’m sure a few others would awaken the same, milord."

"Hmn," He then shifted and looked at the beautiful Vanessa, "You should come visit my villa sometimes. We added a pool."

Vanessa flinched a little but showed nothing else.

Instead, she put up her standard gentle smile, nodding. "I’ll be honored."

…

Fargo and Belize walked along the streets, turning several heads, some of admiration, but mostly of fear and apprehension—their favorite emotions.

Fargo was actually just making rounds when one of his people alerted him of the new guests who seemed close to the soldiers. He had them monitored, just in case, though he never really saw them as much of a threat.

How could he? His guards were no weaker than their strongest men, they were far superior in numbers, and—perhaps the starkest difference—was that the soldiers were still bounded by their uselessly soft hearts.

Even if they were planning something, he saw it as useless struggle and perhaps a good show to watch. He believed that as long as the movements happened inside his territory, then they’d just be bugs waiting for him to crush.

He hoped they took a while to cause trouble though, as having them there to kill the mobs was extremely convenient.

After a bit of walk, they ended up in the new community—one that used to be a shanty area that was destroyed during that beast tide. Instead of a disgusting hodgepodge for poor people, it was now a beautiful area with nice custom houses and gardens.

He had moved here, creating a multi-module villa smack in the middle, surrounded by level 3 fences all around. He also added a deep pool he could cool down, using the spring waters from the nearby mountains.

He entered the house and went straight to backyard. Inside the pool were his two current favorites, swimming. Because they didn’t have swimsuits, the two just decided to swim naked instead.

"Wow, this is amazing! Like a bathhouse but outside~" The dark-skinned woman said as she relaxed at the shallower end. The blonde chuckled as she swam effortlessly from one end to another, looking at the other one as she floated on the other end.

"Don’t you have pools?"

"I hear some territories do, but I lived in a vllage so…"

"Ah."

Watching the two women swim around, he turned to Sen, who wasn’t looking (because the last time a guard gaped at his current favorite, Fargo shot his eyes). "No news about our spies?"

"No, sir. I’m afraid…"

Fargo frowned, looking at the panel and saw that they had indeed perished. This meant not enough of Altera’s information was sent to him again.

He narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe any other village could get near his level, but it was getting annoying that his plan wasn’t working out.

"Send more people to check on Altera—bring some of the Rolan mercenary team with them." He said, baritone voice resounding across the area. "While they’re there, start attacking those citizens of theirs outside the territory walls."

By estimate, they should take a few days to arrive to Bright. They could rest there or even stay there as a base while they gradually weaken the other territory. In most territories, those who went out of the territory were the main forces while the citizens hid away in the territory.

This meant that cutting down the explorers bit by bit was to cut down on the actual forces of the enemy, which would definitely make things easier for them during the war.

There would still be a few weeks before he could attack, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t start terrorizing the other as early as now!

The meeting lasted a few hours, determining who would be going to Bright and Altera. They decided to start with 10 people first, five within the level limit, and another five beyond it. They would be increasing it every week or so until the war, and by that time Altera should’ve already been weakened sufficiently for an easy win.

When the meeting adjourned, a few guards immediately entered to report to him. Interestingly, one of them was carrying a woman. "Boss! Boss! Look at who we found! It’s Juni!!"

"Oh?" He uttered, "The actress?"

"Yes! I wanted you to know in case you wanted to taste her first."
