Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 491 : Messengers

Seeing that Yao Ran was considering his offer, the man added, "Please, just name your price."

"I want planes. Military aircraft, preferably," Yao Ran said calmly.

The moment she spoke, not only the man but also the old man and the others were stunned.

After a long silence, the man laughed awkwardly and said, "Young lady, please don't joke with me. We are just ordinary survivors. Where can we get the military aircraft you want?"

Yao Ran tilted her head slightly at his words and replied, "I'm not joking."

Realizing she was serious, the man chuckled awkwardly before glancing at his grandfather. Seeing the old man's pale face, his heart sank.

He sighed inwardly before turning back to Yao Ran and asked, "Can you ask for something else?"

Yao Ran hadn't really expected him to provide military aircraft; she was just testing her luck. Seeing that he didn't have the means to fulfill her request, she said, "Then there is nothing I want."

The man grew anxious when she said that and tried to persuade her. "Young Lady, ple–"

Yao Ran tossed the medicine bottle to him before he could speak more. "It's yours."

With that, she turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Staring at the bottle of medicine in his hand, the young man scratched his head in confusion. He then placed the medicine in the old man's pocket and said, "Grandpa, let's go home."

The old man touched the medicine in his pocket as he stared at the direction Yao Ran was going and thought, 'What a strange child.'

After leaving the area, Yao Ran noticed two men following her. She pretended not to notice them, but the corners of her lips curved up slightly. The fish had finally taken the bait.

Yao Ran roamed the area for a while before walking toward a nearby alley. Since the alley was a shortcut to the harbor, the two men didn't suspect anything.

Exchanging glances, they nodded at each other and followed her into the alley.

Waiting for them in the shadows, Yao Ran smirked and quietly directed her vines toward them.

As the vines slithered along the ground, the two men walked cautiously into the dark alley. As soon as they stepped into the shadows, Yao Ran's eyes flickered.

Swish~! Thud! Thud!

In the next second, the two men fell to the ground, tightly bound like dumplings.

"Mmph! Mmph!"

They struggled to free themselves and tried to shout, but the vines covered their mouths, muffling their voices.

Stepping out from the shadows, Yao Ran looked at them and recognized them as the men she had spared yesterday. Seeing them again, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, well, what a surprise to see you two again. Since you two are so eager to die, I will gladly grant your wish," she said coldly.

Looking into her cold eyes, the two men shuddered as chills ran down their spines. When Yao Ran drew her long sword from its scabbard, they shook their heads desperately, tears streaming down their faces.

"Mmph! Mmph!"

Seeing their tear-streaked faces filled with fear, Yao Ran placed her sword against one man's neck and said, "I will let you speak. But if you scream, it will be the last sound you ever make. Do you understand?"

Feeling the cold metal against his neck, the man nodded frantically, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice. "Mmph! Mmph!"

"Good." Satisfied with his reaction, Yao Ran waved her hand.

A second later, the vines around the two men's mouths slithered back. As soon as they could speak, the two men began to plead between sobs.

"Young Lady, please spare us! We are just messengers!"

"Yes, yes! We only came to deliver a message!"

Yao Ran lowered her sword and coldly ordered, "Speak."

As soon as she said that, the man on the left quickly said, "The Young Master wants to meet you at the Mission Hall. He wants to know if you are available to see him today."

"What is his name, and why does he want to meet me?" Yao Ran asked.

The men shook their heads, and then the one on the right answered, "We have never met him, so we don't know his name or what he looks like. As for why he wants to see you, we truly don't know."

Realizing they were only low-level lackeys and really knew nothing, Yao Ran retracted her vines and commanded coldly, "Lead the way."

"Yes, yes, right away!" As if they were granted amnesty, the two men scrambled to their feet and led Yao Ran to the Mission Hall.

Along the way, they kept glancing at her and whispering to each other.

"Brother, this woman is really ruthless. I can't believe someone actually wants her as his woman."

The other man shot him a glare and whispered, "Are you tired of living? How dare you comment on the Young Master's affairs!"

Realizing his mistake, the first man quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "I'm sorry, Brother."

Walking behind them, Yao Ran heard every word clearly. Her hearing was sharper than most ability users, so no matter how softly they spoke, she could catch every word.

She absentmindedly rubbed the handle of her long sword, deep in thought as she followed the two men.

After walking for over forty minutes, they arrived at the Mission Hall.

Noticing that the main hall was less crowded than the day before, Yao Ran turned to the men and asked, "Where is he?"

Knowing she was asking about the Young Master, one of them pointed to the second floor and said, "The Young Master is waiting for you upstairs."

He hesitated for a moment before nervously asking, "Y–Young Lady, may we leave now?"

Too lazy to deal with them any longer, Yao Ran waved her hand dismissively as she stared at the second floor. "Get lost."

"Yes, yes! We are leaving right away!" Grateful for her mercy, they ran off without looking back.
