The Lagula family, known for their domineering nature and private armed forces, were the most powerful family in No Man's Land. Not only did they have nearly a thousand Mechas, but they even hired an almost ace-level cold-blooded warrior as a coach. Local forces dared not provoke them, and anyone unable to pay their protection fee would be in deep trouble. Victims could be killed and buried without causing much attention.
Perhaps the local community was hostile to outsiders, or they simply wanted to monopolize the farmland, the Lagula family charged Xiao Wei's family farm quite a lot in protection fees. Moreover, they frequently sent local mobsters to intimidate and demand payments. Xiao Wei's father had borrowed money to lease the farmland; he hadn't even repaid the debt, and they were asking for more money in protection fees. To make matters worse, not long ago, the local mobsters forcibly broke into their house and smashed everything in sight.
