Kasa opened her mouth, about to say something, but just then, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind the group. They followed the sound and saw a tall, majestic figure, lightly clapping his hands in praise.
It was a middle-aged man. His eyes were bright, and he was dressed in a black leather jacket. He had a Fu Manchu mustache, and his hair and beard were a little grey, but it didn't affect his aura at all. Lucy recognized this person's identity at a glance. Or rather, in the entire Outer Ring motorcycle gang, no one didn't know him. "Overlord Pompeii?!"
"Long time no see, Caesar of the Sons of Calydon. The little girl next to the old daddy can now lead her subordinates to challenge me." Pompeii did not communicate with Lucy, who had revealed her identity first, but chose to first ease the relationship with Caesar, the leader of the Sons of Calydon. But the effect was clearly not good.
Lucy fearlessly stood in front of him and questioned, "Overlord Pompeii, while the Sons of Calydon still recognize you as the leader of the alliance, you'd better explain the reason for your appearance here!"
Hearing this, Pompeii did not mind being suspected but said calmly, "No hurry. This matter will be dealt with later. There is a more important matter at hand—" Speaking of this, Pompeii once again looked at Caesar and said solemnly, "Caesar, the goods here are all things that the Triumphants have promised to give to Wildfire Town. Your decision, is it to let the mayor take them away?"
"Pompeii, don't push your luck!" Lucy, seeing his nonchalant appearance, couldn't help but get angry and was about to say more when Caesar on the side stopped her.
"Lucy, wait. I heard all the words you and Kasa argued about before... These supplies, no matter how they came, are ultimately things the town needs. It's just..." Caesar closed her eyes in pain at this point, then continued, "Kasa, since you were in trouble, why didn't you come to us for help? Don't we have so many years of friendship?"
Even now, she was unwilling to believe that Kasa, whom she had always regarded as a real sister, would betray her and collude with the overlord faction, selling out the Sons of Calydon's intelligence.
At this time, Kasa also finally decided to state her considerations. It turned out that she didn't want the Sons of Calydon to be distracted by helping Wildfire Town for the Hellfire Ride. "All these years, the Sons of Calydon have helped Wildfire Town so much. At a critical moment, not only do we not repay you, but we also have to distract you?"
"Repay? Selling our information to the Triumphants, is this your way of repaying us?" Lucy snorted coldly after hearing Kasa's words.
But the former was taken aback for a moment, then immediately explained eagerly, "Selling information? Wait, Lucy, I have never done anything to wrong you! I just made a deal with the Triumphants, to exchange helping them process handicrafts for supplies!"
"She's telling the truth." After Kasa finished speaking, Pompeii on the side also nodded in affirmation. "Although Wildfire Town has always been on your side, as the overlord, I cannot ignore the requests of the residents in the area. So I provided this opportunity. Kasa even said that she didn't want you to see the people of the Triumphants nearby and have a misunderstanding, so she wanted to change the trading location to be in the Hollow. I also agreed. After all, we can't hurt the harmony of the alliance."
Wise, hearing these words, fell into deep thought. Neither Kasa nor Pompeii seemed to be lying. And if it were true, then this overlord was indeed very magnanimous. Although he thought so, he couldn't say much in this conversation. After all, he hadn't become the husband of the leader of the Sons of Calydon yet.
"So you mean, the leaking of our movements has nothing to do with you?"
"Little girl, it's a good thing not to be stage-frightened. But if you're aggressive, then you're not giving others face." Pompeii still calmly answered Lucy's question. "Everyone, I came here precisely to solve this matter. Because today, in the handicrafts that Wildfire Town delivered to us, I found this thing."
Pompeii said, taking out a part of a Sunstone. In the handmade handicraft, there was actually an electronic chip. "This is... a listening device?!" Lucy immediately recognized the identity of this thing.
Pompeii, holding it, looked at Morse on the side. Pompeii first questioned the appearance of the listening device, then the problem of the missing quantity of supplies delivered to Wildfire Town. Morse was at a loss for words.
Everyone present clearly knew what was going on. Pompeii once again roared angrily, "Morse! I let you participate in the Hellfire Ride with me, not for you to play such dirty little tricks!"
Pompeii was a very righteous person. He abided by his own code of conduct. Morse also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. He might as well just admit his mistake and accept the punishment. Afterward, Pompeii continued to reprimand Morse for a few more sentences, but in the end, he did not push all the responsibility to him. Instead, he attributed the mistake to his own poor discipline of his brothers.
Afterward, to compensate the Sons of Calydon, Pompeii first promised to help Wildfire Town rebuild its oil pipeline, and at the same time, of the five new freight routes he had opened up with several other areas, three were given to the Sons of Calydon to be in charge of for six months.
How shrewd was Lucy? Of course, she knew the value that these three freight routes could bring. She was puzzled as to why Pompeii would give such a huge benefit to them. The latter said it was compensation, because he heard that the Sons of Calydon had drawn bad routes in a row during the lottery before. He felt that although it was a coincidence, he had to give compensation.
Of course, he also had his own considerations. Although the new routes had considerable profits, they had to pass through dangerous sections and also required experienced drivers. And he was not without conditions. Pompeii required the Sons of Calydon to help three residential points with difficulties in life for free during this period. Of course, the teams that used these routes later would also have to do the same.
"Hey, Lucy, what do you think of his conditions? Are they really as good as he says?" After hearing Pompeii's words, Caesar whispered to Lucy beside her. After learning that Kasa had not betrayed her, she was in a very good mood.
"...If it's true, then it does solve our and Wildfire Town's long-standing problems at once. And because of the expansion of the routes, for other motorcycle gangs, their income will also increase a lot."
Lucy's answer made Caesar nod. Then, with her usual confident smile, she looked at Pompeii. "Hey, uncle, your conditions are indeed not bad. It's just that you seem to have gotten one premise wrong—it's not yet certain who will be the overlord and who will distribute the routes. If I become the overlord, I will definitely be fairer than you!"
Pompeii, hearing this, his originally tight-knit brows immediately relaxed, and a smile of seeing a promising junior appeared on his face. "Haha, you talk big! Then I'll take it that you've agreed!"
After both sides agreed, Pompeii also handed his personally written letter of commitment to Caesar. It seemed he was well-prepared. After parting, the two sides agreed to meet again at the Hellfire Ride.
