Chapter 1205 - 1205 1165 Driven to Desperation

1205: Chapter 1165: Driven to Desperation 1205: Chapter 1165: Driven to Desperation Wu Tongwei grabbed Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan turned and looked at him.

“Are you trying to stop me?”

Wu Tongwei nodded, “Yes, I can’t put the lives of the entire city at risk, just to kill this guy!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan sighed with a sense of helplessness, “What if she’s deceiving you?”

“No, I think it’s very likely she’s deceiving you!”

Lu Chuan stated with certainty.

“No, I know she’s capable of doing it, and she’s the kind of person who would do such a thing!”

“So!”

“I can’t take the risk!

As the City Lord of Hei Jin City, how can I do something so irresponsible?

You can’t kill her.

If need be, let’s just stop here and take a step back from each other!

Why bother?”

Lu Qianyu burst into laughter upon hearing this, “Hahaha, Lu Chuan, did you hear that?

Let’s each take a step back.

You should go back and rest well, and stop barking up my tree; you will never be able to kill me!”

She laughed triumphantly.

Lu Chuan pulled his hand back from Wu Tongwei.

“Lord Wu, let’s leave it at that for this time.

I will spare her life, but there will be no next time.

If I run into her again, I will show no mercy!”

“I won’t give her a second chance, absolutely not!”

Lu Chuan spoke with earnest seriousness.

Hearing this, Wu Tongwei nodded reluctantly, “No problem, next time I definitely won’t obstruct you!”

At this moment, Lu Qianyu burst into laughter again, “It’s so ridiculous; there will be no next time.

Lu Chuan, you won’t have the chance.

By now, I’ve already got a good grasp of your strength.”

“Next time, you will stand no chance at all!”

Lu Chuan looked up at her and said, “You’ve sent so many people today, and they are no match for me; what chance do you still have?”

“Do you really think I have no trump cards left?

What I called forth today was just a bunch of underlings, no real powerhouses.

Next time, you won’t have such an opportunity!”

Lu Chuan glanced at the crowd behind Lu Qianyu; they were people sent by the major families within Hei Jin City.

These families were merely pawns of the Lu Manor, vassals dependent on them, so it was normal for them to lack real strength.

And this Lu Qianyu, she relied on the Demon Beasts she had tamed to fight.

So, the situation was clear; Lu Qianyu likely still had some trump cards unused.

Probably it’s a particularly powerful Demon Beast that she had tamed.

If that was the case, then Lu Chuan had no choice but to wait for her to reveal her trump card next time.

Lu Chuan turned his head to look at Wu Tongwei, “Lord Wu, you still owe me a favor.

This matter isn’t settled, and I won’t be helping you to the very end!”

Wu Tongwei’s brows were tightly knit, and he nodded helplessly, “Alright, I understand.

But rest assured, I still regard you as a benefactor to our family, and I’ll continue to cooperate with you in the future.

I’ll definitely stand by your side.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianyu furrowed her brows slightly, “Lord Wu, I didn’t know you had already formed an alliance with him.”

“What exactly is going on?

What has he helped you with?

You’ve only met for no more than two days, and yet you’ve switched sides so quickly.

Do you realize whose side you’re standing against?

You’re going up against the Lu family!”

Wu Tongwei shook his head slightly, his gaze resolute, “Lu Qianyu, I’ve never been on your side, so there’s no question of me switching allegiance.

It’s just that before, there was no need to offend you.

But now, I’m not afraid to offend you!”

“Tell me, what has he helped you with to earn such undying loyalty?

Did he give you some treasure?

I can give you one too, as long as you want it.”

Wu Tongwei then said, “The legs my son lost, he can restore them; can you?

It is a priceless treasure that nothing can replace!”

Hearing this, Lu Qianyu fell into thought, “Legs?

How is that possible, how could he help your son regain his legs?”

Wu Tongwei nodded, “Of course, there is no need to say more to you.

Lu Chuan is my benefactor as well as my son’s.”

Lu Qianyu looked at Lu Chuan with furrowed brows, her face full of confusion.

“No, this doesn’t add up…

none of the things you’re known to possess could have such an effect.

Could it be, you’ve acquired some new treasure?”

She spoke with puzzlement.

Very few knew about the changes in Lu Chuan’s possession of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, and it was evident that Lu Qianyu present was not among the privy.

“Let’s end it here.

Lord Wu, I hope you haven’t been deceived by his smoke and mirrors.

Let’s go back to the mansion!”

Lu Qianyu walked towards the nearby carriage.

Wu Tongwei watched the carriage leave, and the others, sensing the situation, also dispersed.

“Alright, let’s call it an end here.

Your conflict has not been resolved yet, I’m aware.”

“Now, go and get some rest.”

Lu Chuan looked at him and spoke seriously, “After you go back, you must investigate thoroughly.

Find out how the poison was administered, from where, what poison it was, and if there is an antidote.

Find out everything!”

“If this is true, no, even if it is false, you should still be aware that this Lu Qianyu is an enemy to the entire city!”

“Not only she is threatening our lives with the lives of the entire city, but she has also attacked your City Guards; they are the enemy.

I hope you recognize this!”

Wu Tongwei nodded with a somber face, “I’m clear on what you have said.

With all that happened today, my suspicions are now confirmed.

Lu Qianyu has indeed been manipulating many things.”

“I will do my best to resolve it.

Wait for my news.”

He turned and left.

For him, as the City Lord, this was a significant matter!

The lives of the entire city were involved; he couldn’t stay out of it.

Lu Chuan watched him leave, shaking his head with resignation.

He turned back to look at Jyang Ran and the others.

“It’s all over, let’s put an end to it, the fight is over!”

Lu Qianying approached, dressed in black, her movements nimble and powerful.

“Lu Chuan, what should we do now?”

Jyang Ran asked, looking at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan looked at Lu Qianying and said: “Not being able to thoroughly resolve your adversary is a significant inconvenience for you.”

“No worries, I own properties in the city, and I have places to stay.”

“But living on your own right now might be dangerous.”

Lu Chuan turned to Jyang Ran and the others, “Just so happens, we’re no longer able to stay at the Guan Family Mansion.

How about we all live in one place and discuss our plans?”

“No problem, let’s go to my place.

It’s quite spacious, enough for you all to live in.

Of course, it won’t be paradise-like as the Guan Family Mansion, but it’s more than adequate for living.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Alright, everyone, let’s follow Lu Qianying from now on and live at her place.”

“But before that, I need to find Guan Tianjun to take care of some last affairs!”

“This guy has secretly chosen to stand with Lu Qianying; I’m going to make him pay!”
