Chapter 879 - 879 839 Returning the Favor to the Opponent

879: Chapter 839: Returning the Favor to the Opponent 879: Chapter 839: Returning the Favor to the Opponent Early the next morning, Lu Chuan got up early to have breakfast.

While he was eating in the courtyard, Dongfang Cheng hurried over.

The courtyard was not large, so Dongfang Cheng only took a few steps before he arrived at Lu Chuan’s side.

“Young Master Lu, have you finished your breakfast?”

“I have, what’s the situation?

You’ve come to find me so early in the morning.”

Dongfang Cheng sat beside Lu Chuan, his expression grave, and said, “Indeed, there has been some situation.”

“Last night, one of our people from the Dongfang Residence went out to take care of some business, and he has not returned all night.”

“This morning, Brother Ming sent people out to look for him, and just moments ago, we received news.”

“The missing person was found by the river in the city, surrounded by many onlookers when he was discovered.”

“Our people immediately recognized him and, upon closer inspection, he had been murdered and his body dumped in the river.”

“His neck bore sharp lacerations, his death was quite gruesome.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Has this kind of thing just started happening today?”

“Exactly, people from the Dongfang family have never encountered such accidents before.

Most people fear our backing, so they dare not touch our people, even if their strength far surpasses ours.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then continued, “It seems that the target is quite clear now.”

“It must have been the Nangong family or the Fiery Sword Sect.”

Lu Chuan said with certainty.

“I think so too.

Now that they have started targeting us, we definitely can’t just sit by and wait for death.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Do you have any ideas?”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, “What else is there to think about?

However they treat us, we’ll return it twice over!”

“Just tell me directly which Stewards the Nangong family has.”

Dongfang Cheng slowly nodded, “You mean, you also want to kill a few key figures of the Nangong family?”

Seeing Lu Chuan nod, Dongfang Cheng immediately became excited.

“Good, I can have Dongfang Ming give you some information, and we’ll take our time dealing with them!”

Dongfang Cheng quickly left the courtyard to search for Dongfang Ming within the residence.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead, worrying was inevitable.

The journey had taken two days.

He now estimated that it would take at least another five days, or at most, a month.

During this time, he needed to find Li Xunying first, then find Nangong Qianying, and force the antidote from her.

Otherwise, Li Xunying’s life would be in danger.

The process was likely to be very troublesome, and it wouldn’t be resolved quickly; he could only try his best to find a solution.

Dongfang Cheng and Dongfang Ming walked in, quickly approaching Lu Chuan.

Dongfang Ming stood before Lu Chuan and asked, “Are you sure it was someone from the Nangong family who did this thing?”

“Without a doubt, it must be them.”

Dongfang Ming nodded slightly, “I too felt it was their doing.

Our Dongfang Residence has been stable in Beihe City for many years, without any accidents or conflicts.”

“Today, someone unexpectedly dared to murder someone within our residence, it truly is unforgivable.”

“The only ones who have the audacity to disregard the power of the Dongfang family behind us are probably the Nangong family.”

“If that’s the case, then how do you plan to retaliate?”

“Tell me the information about the core members of the Nangong family, I’ll eliminate them.”

Lu Chuan said confidently.

Dongfang Ming looked at Lu Chuan and immediately felt anxious and troubled, “What if this intensifies the conflict and they become even more aggressive?”

“Then, more people from our Dongfang Residence might die!”

Lu Chuan continued, “Then I’ll just kill all the core members of the Nangong family.

I don’t believe they dare to fight to the bitter end.”

“But…

but our losses in the Dongfang family won’t be small either.”

Dongfang Ming said with a worried face.

Lu Chuan put his hand on his shoulder and persuaded, “You don’t need to worry about that.”

“Once the Nangong family suffers a heavy blow, it will be your chance to step in and reap the benefits.”

“Work well with me, and you will only gain tremendously, taking over all the Nangong family’s businesses is not impossible.”

These words made Dongfang Ming somewhat excited.

He was in charge of this modest Dongfang Residence, with fewer than a hundred men under him, no significant business to run, and even some small families in the city were better off than his.

If it were not for the Dongfang family name, they would have been eradicated long ago.

Dongfang Ming’s heart surged with excitement, he too wanted to command influence and act wilfully like those major family heads.

Now was his best opportunity.

“Lu Chuan, I trust your strength, Dongfang Cheng has already made your situation very clear to me, I know what you’re capable of, so go ahead and do it!”

“Take down the Nangong family, let them see how formidable you are!”

“I’ll now prepare the information on the core members of the Nangong family and help you devise a plan!”

Dongfang Ming was incredibly excited, he turned and hurriedly ran toward the study.

Dongfang Cheng and Lu Chuan exchanged glances, and both followed him.

Upon arriving at the study, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng stood at the doorway, quietly waiting.

After an hour, Dongfang Ming finally came out of the study.

He, holding a stack of papers, walked quickly towards Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, I have prepared three excellent targets for you.”

“The first one is the Chief Caretaker of the Nangong family, his name is Nangong Shang, he’s forty-three years old, has worked for the Nangong family for many years, and frequently interacts with other families at various banquets to conduct business.”

“His status and influence within the Nangong Residence are no small matter, killing him would be a huge loss for the Nangong family!”

“Why not start with him?

He is going out to negotiate a deal today, you can meet him at the Ten Thousand Cranes Tower in the city center.”

He handed Lu Chuan the personal information of Nangong Shang.

After carefully reviewing it, Lu Chuan nodded slowly and said, “Good, this target is feasible.”

“As the Chief Caretaker, his position in the Nangong Residence is high enough, and his frequent dealings with other families prove that his reputation in Tianhe City is also not low.”

“If he died, it surely would cause quite a stir in Tianhe City.”

Lu Chuan took the personal information, packed the Soul Terminating Sword, and prepared to set off.

“Since it’s so, then the life of this man, Nangong Shang, is mine to end.

Today, this man named Nangong Shang will undoubtedly die!”

Lu Chuan said with determination.

“Let’s go, let’s set off now!”

Dongfang Cheng walked quickly towards the door, his heart filled with immeasurable excitement, eager to set off and strike back.

Let the Nangong family know what happens when they provoke them.

You kill an underling of the Dongfang family, I kill a Chief Caretaker of the Nangong family; this exchange will surely cause the Nangong family immense heartache.
