Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 834 - 834 794 Resource Ownership

834: Chapter 794: Resource Ownership 834: Chapter 794: Resource Ownership Lu Chuan’s question made everyone exchange glances as they initially did not know how to answer.

“Manor Master, the current situation is that the City Lord wants to take over the vein because most of the ores in that vein are suitable for making armor.

If the City Lord takes over the vein, he can again strengthen the City Guards.”

“This was already negotiated by the previous Manor Master.

The City Lord will give us some benefits, and then the vein will be handed over to them.”

“As for the Dongfang family, they do not have the qualifications to mine this vein.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, “No, I cannot accept this outcome.

Tell the City Lord that we want the vein.

You all go and mine it, and if there are not enough people, hire some from the city.”

“Ah?

This …”

“It’s all been agreed upon; the City Lord won’t let it go.

They will mine the vein themselves, as they indeed need this resource.”

“If we reneged, it would mean we have made an enemy of the City Lord, which could be detrimental to our future developments in Forest City.”

The crowd began to persuade Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan disagreed, “Go tell the City Lord that I’m taking over this vein.

If he objects, he can come to me.”

“Is this really okay?”

“Just do it.”

“The City Lord won’t possibly do this.

With such huge benefits at stake, how could he possibly let it go?”

Lu Chuan continued, “If he does not let go, his life is over.

Do you think he will agree or not?”

His words shocked everyone present.

Someone nervously swallowed, not daring to say anything else.

“Understood; I will send someone to find the City Lord and inform him of this message.”

“If the City Lord gets angry, can we withstand his wrath?”

Someone curiously asked.

From their perspective, since Lu Baixuan had died, their relationship with the City Lord was basically hostile.

Therefore, their interactions with the City Lord’s forces had become extremely cautious.

Lu Chuan said impatiently, “Just go ahead; if he dares to get angry, he’s truly seeking his own death.”

“Okay, if that’s the case, then I’ll send someone to find him.”

Suddenly, one person left the Council Hall.

As soon as he left, another person hurriedly entered.

He rushed into the Council Hall and quickly knelt toward Lu Chuan.

“Manor Master …

someone from outside wants to visit; it’s someone from the Dongfang family.”

“Let them in.

Is it Dongfang Cheng?”

“Yes, Dongfang Cheng is leading, along with Dongfang Changzhi, the Manor Master of the Dongfang Residence.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and did not say more.

Subsequently, Dongfang Cheng and Dongfang Changzhi were led in.

Upon entering, Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and revealed a faint smile.

“Young Master Lu, I haven’t seen you for a while, and now you’re sitting in the Manor Master’s position.”

Lu Chuan smiled reluctantly and spread his hands, “I can’t just kill everyone I see from the Lu family, can I?”

“Moreover, they don’t know me, they’ve only heard my name; I have absolutely no connection with them.”

“My only enemy is Lu Fusheng; ruining the Lu family is not my intention.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded with a smile, “I know.

I came here to confirm our cooperation.”

“Of course it still exists.

We are still partners.

If I continue to expand into the Kunlun Domain, I will need your help, Dongfang Cheng.

First, return to the Dongfang Residence.

I’ll handle things here and then move on to the next city until I meet Lu Fusheng.”

Dongfang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, showing a look of relief.

“With your words, I can rest assured.

We just received news that City Lord Wan Changdong personally killed Dongfang Lian.

We have already relayed this back to the Dongfang Family’s main residence.”

“In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.

You continue with your meeting, and if you need us to leave, you can find me anytime.

I’ll be waiting in the Dongfang Residence.”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile, “No problem, have someone see them out.”

Under the courteous escort of the Lu Manor’s staff, the two left the Lu Manor.

Dongfang Changzhi stood by Dongfang Cheng’s side, silent from beginning to end.

“Dongfang Cheng, he intends to take over the Lu family!”

“If he really kills Lu Fusheng and takes the seat of Family Head of the Lu family, can our two families still maintain cooperation?”

Dongfang Cheng laughed and said, “You worry too much.

That is something for the future.

Thinking too much about it now is useless.”

“If Lu Chuan really kills Lu Fusheng and takes the seat of Family Head, that would be a great thing for our Dongfang family.

By then, with our combined might, no one in the Kunlun Domain will be able to oppose us!”

He laughed excitedly and walked toward the Dongfang Residence.

With Lu Chuan’s assurance, he obviously felt much more at ease and walked leisurely.

…

Back in the Council Hall, the messenger hurried back, panting heavily as he knelt before Lu Chuan.

With a red face and after swallowing several times, he mustered the strength to speak.

“Lord Manor Master, I have just been to the City Lord’s Mansion and communicated the message to the City Lord.

Upon hearing it’s you who wants the vein, he agreed without a second word!”

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and everyone exchanged glances, feeling quite surprised.

“This…

He agreed just like that?”

“Really?

Didn’t the City Lord say anything else?”

“If he agreed to this, he must be demanding many benefits.

Did he say nothing at all?”

The messenger quickly said, “He said nothing at all; he just agreed to the Manor Master’s request and handed over the mining rights!”

Everyone quickly turned to look at Lu Chuan.

“Why would the City Lord agree so readily?

Such a decision harms his interests, yet he agreed without a word?”

“Could the City Lord be scheming?

It’s known that he is very cunning; there might be a catch!”

“We should still be cautious and not agree hastily.

When I have time, I’ll go and ask him.

He definitely won’t hand over the vein to us that easily!”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, smiling, “You all think too much.

This matter is very simple; the City Lord is just giving me face by agreeing to my request.”

“City Lord Wan Changdong has recently broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, and he is in a good mood as he has fulfilled his dream of advancing to the Martial Saint Realm.

He is very cautious with his life and will not do anything risky.”

“At the moment, in this Forest City, the only person who poses a risk to him is me alone.

Would he dare offend me?

Obviously not.”

Lu Chuan said serenely and confidently.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling there was some truth to it.

“It seems reasonable; the only person who can threaten him right now is Lu Chuan alone!”
