Of course, none of this would affect Li Yang. Li Yang pulled out his sword, and Luther knelt down with Ares.

Li Yang was prepared to behead Ares to prevent him from finding trouble with others. However, when Li Yang raised his sword, a roar came from afar, “Stop!”

The sword stopped a centimeter away from Ares’ neck. In an instant, Ares was so scared that he fainted and soiled all over his body.

Li Yang turned his head and saw the mayor rushing over with a team of guards.

This was also the reason why Li Yang would stop. After all, he must show respect to the mayor, and his family was still in the Base City.

“Hello, Li Yang, I am the mayor of the Base City!”

The mayor hurriedly walked forward and shook hands with Li Yang.

“Hello, mayor, what can I do for you?”

“Li Yang, I have already understood the conflict between you and the Ares family. All of this was the fault of the Ares family. However, please don’t kill anyone anymore. After all, the Base City still had laws. Don’t worry, we would definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”

Seeing how sincere the mayor was, Li Yang immediately knew that it was about time. Thus, he put down his sword and said slowly, “Sure, I believe that the mayor would give me a satisfactory answer!”

After saying that, Li Yang brought Luther and the farmer knights and prepared to go home.

However, when he arrived home, he realized that his family members were not there. When Li Yang was about to go out to look for them, a convoy slowly drove towards Li Yang’s home.

The fleet of cars stopped at Li Yang’s house. The first to open the door and got out of the car was the captain of the guards, Arcos, followed by Li Yang’s family.

“Hello, Li Yang. I’m the captain of the Base City Guards, Arcos!”

“Hello!”

The two of them shook hands happily. Arcos continued, “On behalf of the Base City, I express our deep sympathy for Mr. Li Yang’s suffering. At the same time, I also brought the mayor’s attention towards this matter!”

Li Yang looked at the sincere Arcos and smiled, “Thank you!”

“The Ares family betrayed the law. Therefore, the mayor has decided to remove the name of the Ares family from the Base City. At the same time, all the higher-ups of their family have been imprisoned for 20 years. We would also make appropriate compensation to Mr. Li Yang’s family.”

“Furthermore, we would do our best to nurture your sister. We would let her receive the best education and guidance. We guarantee that she would become the best farm owner when she reaches adulthood!”

Arcos finished the punishment and compensation from the Ares family in one breath. Li Yang could not help and sighed at how big Arcos’ lung capacity was.

“Mr. Li Yang, were you satisfied with such a treatment?”

Li Yang thought for a moment about the mayor’s reply. He laughed and replied, “Of course, it would be too greedy if I was not satisfied!”

Thus, the conversation between the two ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

After Arcos left, Li Yang could finally take a good look at his family.

First was Li Yang’s father, Li Yaming. At the moment, Li Yaming’s head was wrapped in gauze, but he was clearly in good spirits. After all, his son made something of himself.

His old appearance felt like he was a few years younger. Next was his mother, Zhang Xue. At this moment, Zhang Xue was all smiles, but she could not hide the white hair on her head. She was only 40 years old. Her mother had sacrificed too much to raise him and his sister all these years.

Finally, there was his younger sister, Li Duoduo. Although she was only 16 years old, she was already a little beauty. However, she clearly felt inferior because her family was poor before and it was only in front of her family did she appear cheerful.

Looking at the family, Li Yang decided that he must take good care of them. In the past, he did not have the ability, but now he has the means.

The family began to eat happily. Li Yang also told his parents about the past six months. Of course, he did not tell them about the space dragon. After all, they knew that it would be dangerous. Ordinary people did not have the qualifications to have wealth like the space dragon.

It was not a good thing for ordinary people even if they had it. Therefore, Li Yang tried his best to hide it until he had enough strength to protect his family. He would only then tell them slowly.

Three days later, another motorcade arrived at the door of Li Yang’s house. The person who came was still Arcos, but there was also an old man in his 60s, the mayor of the Base City.

“Hello, Li Yang!”

“Hello, Mr. Mayor, we meet again.”

Li Yang said as he welcomed the mayor into his house.

“Li Yang, I don’t know what you went through in the past six months, but I could tell from your entourage that your farm is not bad at the moment. Although our Base City is not a big city, we have sufficient funds. Therefore, we could work together!”

The mayor went straight to the point. Li Yang thought for a while.

“We could buy all your supplies at a 10% higher price, as long as we sign a long-term contract!”

As he spoke, the mayor took out the contract that he prepared long ago. In fact, he came over to offer such a good deal to keep Li Yang in the Base City. After all, everyone knew that Li Yang had great potential.

Although he was purchasing goods for 10% now, Li Yang would have an endless supply of high-grade goods in the future when he develops the farm. One had to know that many high-grade goods could not be bought even if one had money. This was also the core competitiveness of a city.

For such a high-quality asset, there would be no loss, no matter what. Moreover, he came here personally to make Li Yang feel that he valued him.

Li Yang was not surprised by the mayor’s offer. In fact, as long as he could sell the materials normally, Li Yang never considered leaving the Base City. After all, his family was here.

“Mayor, your offer was very generous, but I still have a batch of purple wheat here. Would you be interested?”

“What? Purple wheat?!”

The mayor was obviously surprised by Li Yang’s words. He quickly stood up and said with the warmest smile, “Yes, we would buy as much as you have. How much purple wheat do you have now?”

“Hmm, not much! However…”

“What’s the problem? You could say it. There would be nothing we couldn’t do as long as it would be in the Base City!”

The mayor was obviously a little excited. He was prepared to use some special privileges to exchange for the purchase priority of purple wheat. If there were a family like the Ares family, he would not hesitate to let the guards destroy them!

“Mayor, you misunderstood. My purple wheat has not matured yet. In about three months, I would sell the purple wheat!”

“Okay, as long as it would be sold in the Base City!”

Although the mayor was disappointed for a moment, he immediately adjusted his attitude and continued to chat with Li Yang enthusiastically. He also talked about his daily life and if there was anything he needed help with.

Li Yang politely declined the mayor’s kindness. He only needed to take good care of his family while Li Yang was away.
