Lěng Yè's question made everyone in the council hall look at each other in dismay, and for a moment no one dared to speak up easily.
In the end, a seasoned and steady-witted member broke the silence: "Lord Manor Head, the current situation is that City Lord Jiang Yong intends to acquire the new mineral vein in Black Wolf Mountain, because the ore there is extremely suitable for forging armor. If the City Lord can secure this vein, he will have the capacity to further expand the City Guard."
"The former Manor Head already reached an agreement with the City Lord. In exchange, we are to receive a certain share of the profits. Therefore, this mineral vein has effectively already been handed over to the City Lord," another member added.
