58 The City Lord’s Conspiracy
“What do you think?”
City Lord Yan Hong looked at Lu Yu with an expectant face, and said again with a smile, “Don’t worry, Dojo Master Lu. As long as you delay for three or five days, you won’t lose out on any benefit. I will reward you handsomely on my end.”
However, Lu Yu’s face darkened ominously. He replied in anger, “In order to preserve your strength, your own self interests, you totally ignored the safety of the Federation’s important personality and the lives of the civilians in Lunan City! With each day’s delay, you guys can indeed receive a lot of allowance and benefits, but how many civilians in the city had to be sacrificed as a result? Is it very meaningful to gain benefits from war and disaster? Don’t say anymore. I will never do what you ask, I will never help you guys delay!”
The expressions of the City Lord Yan Hong and the four dojo masters changed drastically. They were about to reply but the Military Lord returned at this time.
All of them instantly kept their mouths shut and did not say anything else.
Although the intention was to delay, they could not say this kind of thing openly in front of the Military Lord, otherwise when they got reprimanded, the punishment that followed would be severe.
Military Lord Xu Qingguo handed a chip to City Lord Yan Hong and said, “This is the GPS chip for the rescuers. You guys go put it inside a smart bracelet and give it to Lu Yu, then the meeting will be adjourned. I want to talk to Lu Yu alone about something else.”
“Yes!” City Lord Yan Hong accepted the chip and left with the rest of the dojo masters in resignation.
After these people left, the only people left in the meeting room were the Military Lord Xu Qingguo and Lu Yu.
Xu Qingguo looked at Lu Yu with gratitude and said, “Captain Lu, thank goodness you agree to support this mission. Otherwise this matter will be really troublesome.”
“You are too kind, Military Lord. I am just doing my duty.” Lu Yu responded politely.
The Military Lord looked at him and nodded his head slightly. The admiration he had for Lu Yu was displayed clearly in his eyes. He then spoke solemnly, “This matter is of grave importance to both the person to be rescued and the Federation. You must do your utmost to rescue this person. But you guys have to be careful along the way and take care of your own safety. Don’t get involved with them. Captain Lu, I think very highly of you. In future, you can follow me to have greater development. You do not have to limit your ambition to the small Lunan City.”
As Lu Yu listened to him, he looked at the Military Lord with some surprise. His words clearly contained hidden meaning.
Military Lord Xu Qingguo did not want to reveal too much at this point. He simply told Lu Yu to be careful, then allowed Lu Yu to go and make preparations to set off as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in a secret meeting room, the City Lord led the 4 dojo masters here to discuss something.
The East End Dojo Master Tan Jun said with a troubled look, “The Military Lord wanted to talk to Lu Yu in private. Looks like he holds Lu Yu in high regard. Once this beast tide crisis is over, he is probably taking Lu Yu away from our Lunan City.”
“When that happens, Lu Yu will no longer be part of Lunan City’s combat powers.” Jiang Zilong also sighed and said with some pity.
It was so rare for Lunan City to have a powerful martial arts expert, especially a talented genius like Lu Yu who could advance from the level of Martial Arts Warrior to Great Martial Master within one year.
It was a great pity that Lunan City could not retain such a rare talented martial arts expert for itself.
At this moment, City Lord Yan Hong was no longer the refined gentleman he usually appeared as. His face darkened ominously and with a sinister look, said, “This Lu Yu really does not know what is good for himself. I tried to advise him so kindly, to delay for just a while, yet he refused outright. He has gone too far.”
The rest of the dojo masters exchanged looks and began discussing urgently.
“Indeed this Lu Yu has gone too far. It was bad enough that he agreed to help. He did not even want to help us delay!”
“Keeping this sort of character here may cause our Lunan City harm in future.”
“That’s right. With this disagreement out in the open, there will be further conflicts in future. This Lu Yu is advancing so fast in his abilities, we can’t keep him here any longer.”
City Lord Yan Hong’s expression was malevolent, and after some hesitation, he made up his mind and said, “Forget it. Since we can’t keep him, then we won’t. It’s such a pity since he is such a talented Great Martial Master. If this goes on, Lu Yu will definitely be our enemy in the future. To prevent him getting bigger and stronger, we’d better take action now before it’s too late. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to move together and ambush Lu Yu.”
When Tan Jun, the East End Dojo Master, heard this, he hesitated and asked, “Honorable City Lord, is this really a good idea? Such a talented Great Martial Master does not come by often. It’s really a pity to settle things like this.”
“Then do you have any way to make Lu Yu work for us? Right now, Lu Yu not only refused to work with us, in future he will certainly be our enemy!” City Lord Yan Hong retorted in anger.
Tan Jun simply kept quiet after hearing him.
The rest of the dojo masters could not come up with any good ideas either.
Among these 4 dojos, though they often had disagreements,
at the end of the day, they were all Lunan City’s dojos. Their interests and the City Lord’s were aligned, therefore whatever the City Lord said, they would definitely follow.
West Universe Dojo Master Jiang Zilong said with a grave expression. “We should not underestimate this Lu Yu’s ability. If we were to ambush, we must plan well and not let him escape. And most definitely not let the Military Lord find out.”
“Don’t worry. I already have a plan in mind.” City Lord Yan Hong then explained his plan to all the dojo masters.
The City Lord Yan Hong had been instructed to help Lu Yu prepare a smart bracelet with a GPS chip to locate the person to be rescued. He could easily add another chip inside.
In this way, all of them would know Lu Yu’s precise location.
Then with the combined force of all the 4 dojos’ powerful experts, they would strike.
When they arrived at the blood-sucking wasteland, they would get rid of Lu Yu.
Anyway, no one in the city would know what happened at the blood-sucking wasteland. As long as they were not found out by the Military Lord, they would be in no danger.
After listening to City Lord Yan Hong’s plan, the dojo masters all nodded their heads.
Jiang Zilong also said with a look of approval, “This is a good plan. It is safer, but to be on the safe side, all the 4 dojo masters and deputy dojo masters will lead our respective teams and strike at the same time. It will be more foolproof.”
“Not bad. This method is good.”
“Although Lu Yu is powerful, if all 8 of us strike at the same time, we can definitely get rid of him effortlessly!”
“If we are going to strike, we must ensure he has no chance to escape!”
All the dojo masters nodded their heads in approval.
Very soon, the matter was decided.
The City Lord proceeded to prepare the smart bracelet for Lu Yu and implement his plan as well.
The 4 dojo masters went back to their respective dojos to make preparations.
Meanwhile, after Lu Yu left the City Lord’s Office, he came to the 4th squadron’s command base in Lunan City to meet up with his new squadron members.
All these members were new recruits. Although their abilities were good, most of them did not have any battle combat experience. As for the previous members of the 4th squadron, they had all been wiped out.
For this mission to the blood-sucking wasteland, the journey there was very perilous. Lu Yu intended to bring very few members along, so he only chose the best.
In this way, their operation would be safer and more convenient.
If he brought too many people but they were not strong enough, they would be sacrificed in vain. Not only would they be of no help to him, they would end up giving him more trouble.
