848: Chapter 808 Observing Changes 848: Chapter 808 Observing Changes In the study, Wan Changdong paced back and forth, his face furrowed with worry.

“That Lu Chuan, to think he could be so ruthless, killing so many of my men, leaving only you alive.”

“The kid is quite meticulous; I thought he was just being stubborn, so I kept sending people to the mine to work.

I had no idea he’d catch on so quickly.”

“If that’s the case, then I need to think of a way to deal with them.”

“Honorable City Lord, but… we have suffered heavy losses.

If we go to fight him now, I’m afraid we will end up at a disadvantage!”

Wan Changdong took a deep breath, stood in front of his subordinate, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him up.

“Get out there, get the City Guards to start training.

We might go to battle soon; we can’t be slack any longer.”

“Alright… I’ll go train the troops, but City Lord, you must figure out how to deal with Lu Chuan’s next offensive.”

“This is a matter concerning our wealth and lives!”

He reminded anxiously.

Wan Changdong nodded, waved his hand, “You may leave, don’t disrupt my thinking.”

He turned and left, the study once again became empty, with only him remaining in the room.

“Plans have changed…”

Wan Changdong muttered darkly to himself.

Just then, a figure in a black robe slowly emerged from a corner of the study.

“You asked me to take action, and now with this situation, you’re responsible!”

Wan Changdong looked at the other party, his words fierce.

“Are you very afraid of that guy?”

The man let out a cold, indifferent voice and asked dispassionately.

Wan Changdong replied irritably, “Nonsense, he wants to kill me, how could I not be afraid?”

“With me here, he won’t be able to kill you, and together, the two of us can kill him.”

“How?”

Wan Changdong looked intently at the black-robed man before him, his only hope now resting on this person.

He looked out the window and smiled faintly, nonchalantly saying, “It’s simple, in that kid’s eyes, you are now nothing but a lamb to the slaughter, he could come over with his followers at any time to kill you!”

“So, what we need to do next is very simple.

Just stay put here, I’ll set up the trap, and if he dares to come here, we unite our efforts and will certainly be able to kill him!”

He spoke with immense confidence, as if certain the event would transpire.

“What if he doesn’t come for me?”

Wan Changdong looked at him skeptically, finding his words unreliable.

“Impossible, he will definitely come for you.

He has never feared anyone on his path, he will absolutely not be afraid of you.

As long as he believes he has the strength to kill you, he will definitely come to find you, then kill you.”

Wan Changdong took a deep breath, “Then, when he comes knocking, can the two of us working together kill him?”

“Of course, you have witnessed my strength, I can definitely kill that fellow.”

“What you have to do is simple, just tie up his followers, and I’ll go one on one with him.

He is no match for me!”

The man in black exclaimed with utmost confidence.

“Okay, I’ll trust you once, as long as we can succeed, I’ll still be the boss in Forest City, and both Dongfang Residence and Lu Manor will have been weakened.

Plus, I’ve even made a breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm.

In Forest City from now on, I’ll exist like an Emperor!”

He shouted excitedly, his mouth almost splitting to his ears.

“By the way, why do you want to kill that kid?

Do you have a grudge against him?”

The man in the black robe smiled and said, “He has something on him that I really need, I must get it.”

“That kid really hasn’t caused less trouble outside, alright then, since that’s the case, let’s get ready.

We both have the idea that we must kill Lu Chuan.”

The man in the black robe turned and left, simultaneously saying, “Keep an eye on his movements, tell me immediately if there’s any news.”

“No problem, you can count on me, I will definitely do it!”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan returned to Lu Manor.

In the courtyard, Lu Chuan sat in front of a stone table, and Gu Xiaorou brought over three cups of tea, placing them on the table.

Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and Dongfang Cheng, “How about it?

Shall we join forces and kill the City Lord?”

“No problem, I can bring people from Dongfang Residence to support you.”

“Once the City Lord is dead, we will have no enemies left in Forest City.”

Lu Chuan chuckled, “Of course, since that’s the case, let’s devise a plan.

As soon as we find a suitable opportunity, we’ll take action immediately.”

At this moment, Gu Xiaorou, standing to the side, expressed her concerns, “Didn’t the City Lord submit to you before?

You are much stronger than him, you can kill him at any time, so why would he still dare to trip you up?”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, he indeed hadn’t considered Gu Xiaorou’s words, “Do you think there’s a problem?”

“Of course.

He has no need to compete with you for the mine.

It seems like he’s deliberately provoking you, getting you angry, and then making you make a move.

It looks like he’s doing it on purpose, intentionally.”

Dongfang Cheng looked up at Gu Xiaorou and exclaimed, “You make some sense.

Indeed, this guy’s behavior is too abnormal; it’s definitely not normal!”

Lu Chuan took a couple of sips from his teacup and continued, “Otherwise, that guy must have found a new ally.

With Lu Baixuan dead, his ambition was exposed.

There must be others who have given him confidence for him to dare to do this.”

“Then who do you think it could be?

Or which faction’s power?”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan thought of the Divine Tree branch on him.

“Perhaps, it’s a more distant enemy, someone after something on me.

If it were someone from the Lu family coming here, they wouldn’t act secretly and underhandedly.”

“If that’s the case, then let’s get ready to face the new enemy!”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “Since that’s the case, should we still trouble ourselves with the City Lord?”

“No, let’s set that aside for now.

Just this once, I’ve killed over a dozen Martial Emperor Realm experts of his, while he’s only killed a few groups of miners.”

“He’s the one at a disadvantage now, and it’s him who should be worried.”

“So we just wait for an opportunity and take action when the time comes, right?”

“Exactly, Dongfang Cheng, you go back to Dongfang Residence first, and handle the affairs of your clan properly.

For the next few days, we won’t provoke the City Lord.

Let him do as he pleases.”

Dongfang Cheng drained his cup of tea and said, “I understand.

With that in mind, I’ll head back now.

When you need my help, just send someone for me.”

He set down his cup and stood up to leave the courtyard.

“What should we do next?

Just wait?”

Gu Xiaorou asked.

“We’ll observe the changes.

You learn more about the affairs of the family and manage the manor’s business well.”
