This area belongs to the western district of Qingfeng City and is the only region not touched by the powerful families because it is too poor and rundown. Rebuilding it would require a considerable amount of money, materials, and energy, making it very troublesome. Furthermore, it might not even be successful, which is why the families haven't extended their reach here.
With that money, they would be better off developing their own forces and nurturing the talents within their families.
Those living in the western district are mostly extremely poor or those residing at the lowest level of society, making the western district the best choice.
