781: Chapter 741: Settlement_1 781: Chapter 741: Settlement_1 A great fire consumed the Council Hall within the Lu Manor.

Lu Chuan stepped out, and the followers of the Dongfang Residence had already begun a massacre within the manor.

The sounds of screams, the clash of swords, and the collapse of buildings were incessant.

The entire Lu Manor had turned into a mess, completely engulfed in chaos.

Lu Chuan walked toward the main gate of the Lu Manor.

Soon, a follower approached and stood beside Lu Chuan, respectfully asking, “Young Master Lu, do you have any further orders?”

“Go back to the Dongfang Residence, tell them they can come and wipe out the Lu Manor, swallow all their assets in Myriad Stars City, leave not one!”

“Yes!”

“Are we about to uproot them completely?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Of course, to uproot them completely.

These people have been reluctantly clinging to life; they should have died long ago.”

“Besides, I never intended to spare them; I just didn’t have the spare effort to deal with them.”

“Now that they have walked into the line of fire themselves, they can’t blame me.”

“Yes, I will head back to the Dongfang Residence and report this message to the Manor Master.”

He hurried off, unable to completely suppress the smile on his face.

Should the Lu Manor be swallowed whole, without a doubt, the Dongfang family would now be the number one family in Myriad Stars City, with no one daring to offend!

Even the City Lord of Myriad Stars City would have to think twice about offending the Dongfang family.

Lu Chuan also began to return to the Dongfang Residence.

He had overheard the entire conversation between Lu Wansheng and Li Xunying.

He was also crystal clear about their upcoming plans.

Now, his top priority was to lead people to Heavenly Yin Mountain as quickly as possible to block those bastards.

Lu Chuan briskly arrived at the entrance of the Dongfang Residence; the follower had notified everyone in the Dongfang Residence of the news a step ahead of him.

Soon, at the grand entrance of the Dongfang Residence, a large group of people had assembled, fully armed, arranged in a square formation, ready to move out at any moment.

The one leading the team was Dongfang Xun.

Dongfang Xun and Dongfang Cheng managed different areas.

The military forces of the Dongfang family and business affairs were under the management of Dongfang Xun.

Whereas Dongfang Cheng primarily handled internal affairs and building goodwill with outsiders.

When family strife began, it was Dongfang Xun’s time to act.

Lu Chuan walked into the Dongfang Residence, just in time to see Dongfang Cheng preparing to leave.

“Young Master Lu, you’ve returned; we’ve received your message, and we’ve already organized the troops, ready to take over the Lu family’s assets within Myriad Stars City.”

“This process may take several days, and we might need to call more people back if there aren’t enough hands.”

“How did you make the decision to eradicate them?”

Dongfang Cheng curiously looked at Lu Chuan.

“They are my enemies.

I was bound to eradicate them sooner or later.

I just found out that these bastards are still not giving up, still wanting to make a move on me, so I couldn’t be bothered to delay further.

Just annihilate them.”

“These guys are indeed confident enough, arrogant enough to actually take such a risk.”

“Rest assured, within three days, all of their businesses will be under the control of the Dongfang Residence.”

“Young Master Lu, from now on in Myriad Stars City, we will be the undisputed local tyrants!”

Dongfang Cheng laughed excitedly.

Now that the Lu family would be wiped out, even the City Lord Zhao Huangqian of Myriad Stars City would not dare to touch a hair on them in the future.

“Just go handle it.

Oh, did you send the daughter of the Yang family back?”

“Of course, she’s still alive and well.

I took the time to send her back.

Family Head Yang Ming was crying so hard in front of me, almost to death.”

“Now the Yang family is absolutely loyal to us; they can be our helpers if there’s any move to make.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Alright, you guys go handle it.

Next, I need to visit the City Lord.”

“Is there anything else?

With the Lu family exterminated, we have no rivals left in Myriad Stars City, right?”

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “Have you forgotten?

There’s still that Li Xunying, and Lu Wansheng has already escaped.

They’re headed for Heavenly Yin Mountain.

They haven’t given up and will continue seeking vengeance.”

“If Zhao Huangqian learns of this news, he will be infuriated.

He will join me in going to Heavenly Yin Mountain to confront them.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan turned and left.

Dongfang Cheng watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure and earnestly nodded.

“Third Uncle, I’m troubling you, but please lead the team to take over all the Lu family’s assets.

This time, we’ve made a fortune, and it’s all thanks to Young Master Lu.

Otherwise, we might never have seen this day in our lives.”

Dongfang Xun said cheerfully, “Rest assured, everyone in the residence is very enthusiastic about this.

We are setting out right away.”

Afterward, he led the team out of the Dongfang Residence.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Having lived in Myriad Stars City for so many days, he had grown quite familiar with the layout here.

Now, without the need for anyone to guide him, he could easily find the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, two guards looked at Lu Chuan and eyed him nervously.

“Open the gates for me, I wish to see the City Lord.”

“What for?”

“Concerning his deceased son’s matter.

Is there a problem?”

The guards hurriedly opened the gate and said respectfully, “Please come in.

The City Lord said you are a distinguished guest and are welcome at any time.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then walked into the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw two rows of people standing together, being lectured by someone.

Based on their attire, it was clear they were all servants of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The person lecturing them was the manor’s caretaker.

Lu Chuan walked over, heading towards the caretaker.

The caretaker, dressed in a dark green robe, glanced at Lu Chuan upon seeing him.

“Who are you?”

“You don’t recognize me?”

“Do I need to?

I hardly ever leave the house, staying only within the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Then you should have heard of my name.”

“Really?

Let’s hear it then, which noble family are you from?”

He looked curiously at Lu Chuan.

“My name is Lu Chuan.”

“Lu Chuan…”

The caretaker stiffened, nervously swallowing, and quickly revealed an embarrassed smile, awkwardly saying, “Young Master Lu, I’ve long admired your name.

To actually meet you in person today is a rare privilege indeed.”

“You’re here to see the Honorable City Lord, right?

Please follow me.”

“I’ve been here once before, you haven’t seen me, have you?”

“I’m sorry.

There are many caretakers in the City Lord’s Mansion, and I only oversee a specific area.

It’s possible I haven’t met you, which is truly regrettable.”

“Young Master Lu, I’ve long heard of your great reputation.

The City Lord has also instructed that if you come, you are to be received with the highest courtesy.”

“Come, Young Master Lu, the City Lord is in his study.

Be careful when you knock on the door, so as not to disturb him.”

Lu Chuan was led to the study and gently knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Chuan pushed the door open and entered.

Zhao Huangqian rose from his seat and quickly approached Lu Chuan.
