Dragon's Origin

Chapter 484: Rebuking Uncle Li (Part 1)

Shadow was not from Worry-Free City, never had been, only an undercover agent planted in Worry-Free City. He already had a high enough position before, and now, with his relationship with Wang Sheng, he could access the core of Worry-Free City.

The key was that Shadow approached Wang Sheng under the guise of the Worry-Free City Lord's intention, an arrangement by the City Lord, which is why he hasn't been exposed yet.

With this relationship, plus the special relationship between Mei'er and Shadow, Wang Sheng could have Shadow keep an eye on his side while delivering messages to the royal family. That's why Mei'er escorted Shadow away.

Shadow was indeed loyal to the royal family, but he knew that he had been away from the capital and the Emperor for more than a decade. His relationship with Mei'er was slightly closer than his relationship with the Emperor. Anyway, Mei'er was a genuine princess. What was the difference between being loyal to the princess and being loyal to the Emperor? It was just sending some messages; no problem at all.

Unknowingly, in front of the steward, Wang Sheng planted an informant in Worry-Free City, and the steward had no idea.

The steward had many things to be busy with now, but the most important thing was to quickly inform the City Lord about the negotiated terms and Wang Sheng's conditions. After sending the message, the steward began to arrange for people to investigate those who had contact with the musicians of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra during these days. Before the people who would take action arrived, the steward had to identify all the targets.

In addition, this was a large-scale operation in the capital. No matter how much Worry-Free City despised imperial power, they had to inform the imperial court. Fortunately, as long as the imperial court wasn't foolish enough to send people to seduce those musicians, Worry-Free City's actions would only benefit the court. As long as they communicated well, there was no need to worry about the Emperor not agreeing.

The message was sent back to Worry-Free City. The young City Lord's first reaction upon seeing the conditions was not anger, but a smile. He seemed to enjoy the feeling, and after enjoying it for a while, he had Uncle Li summoned.

"What is it?" Uncle Li looked very impatient, as if he had been interrupted from something. He had a terrible expression when he arrived, and his tone was not good.

In fact, his attitude towards the City Lord was not just like this at this time. Ever since returning from the capital, Uncle Li's expression had been consistently bad.

The City Lord had already learned everything about Uncle Li's experiences in the capital from the two female ace assassins who accompanied him. Of course, he knew the reason for his bad expression. Anyone who was beaten black and blue and couldn't fight back wouldn't have a good face.

"This was sent back from the capital by the steward today, Uncle Li, take a look!" The young City Lord turned his back to Uncle Li and casually threw the letter sent back by the steward onto the table next to Uncle Li's seat.

Uncle Li glared at the City Lord's back, then picked up the letter. After reading only a few lines, he was already furious. Bang! He slammed the letter onto the table with a heavy palm, turning the entire table into dust, but the soft letter seemed very hard and was not damaged at all.

"I'm going to kill him now!" Having never suffered such humiliation, Uncle Li roared in anger, almost jumping up.

"I fully support it!" The City Lord didn't even turn his head, but a smile could be heard in his tone, "That guy is in the capital now, and his cultivation is said to be somewhat损耗. Besides the people from Worry-Free City, what kind of help do you need? Intelligence, news, gold coins, formations, anything."

Logically, Uncle Li should have been happy with the City Lord's statement, but when Uncle Li thought of the terrifying Lingxu old Taoist in the capital, and the condition he was forced to agree to – not to attack Wang Sheng within three years – he hesitated.

He was furious, but could he immediately return to the capital and kill Wang Sheng? No! Therefore, the City Lord's support was completely meaningless. So, no matter how furious, Uncle Li could only express it verbally, then slumped in his chair, motionless.

"Go!" The City Lord took a few steps forward and sat in his seat. Perhaps it was clever design, or perhaps the sun was in just the right position at this time, a shadow completely covered the City Lord's head, and from Uncle Li's angle, he couldn't see the City Lord's face at all.

"I still have to guard the armory." With a sullen face, Uncle Li said these words through gritted teeth, "The formations in the armory need to be redesigned."

"So, Uncle Li, you still remember that you have to guard the armory!" The City Lord's sarcastic words came directly, "That's rare! Then what were you doing when you forcibly took a group of experts to the capital a few days ago without saying hello? Were you really planning to enjoy a concert?"

"I went to kill Lone Wolf." Uncle Li's anger flared up again, stimulated by the City Lord's tone, "What? Is that not allowed?"

"Of course it's allowed!" The City Lord immediately retorted with confrontational words, "In your agreement with Worry-Free City, there is an agreement that you can leave for a period of time at any time. But since you went, why didn't you do it?"

"I didn't find a chance!" Uncle Li's momentum slowly softened. Facing this young City Lord, although he could kill the City Lord a hundred times at any time, he never dared to attack the City Lord, and now he didn't even dare to get angry at the City Lord.

"Ha, didn't find a chance!" The City Lord gave a loud laugh and asked Uncle Li, "Lone Wolf said that he spared your life at least twice in the capital. Do you know why he spared you?"

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Spared his life twice? Uncle Li instantly understood which two times they were. The first time was when the Lingxu old Taoist directly faced him, and the second time should have been at the concert. If the Lingxu old Taoist hadn't helped him at that time, he would have been ground to death by a thousand experts.

"Because of Worry-Free City." Uncle Li completely lost his temper. He had a fiery temper, but it depended on who he was dealing with. He could be like that with ordinary experts, with ordinary people, and even with Wang Sheng, but he didn't have the confidence to be like that with the City Lord. Just as the City Lord said, if it weren't for Worry-Free City standing behind him, he would have died several times already.

"You also know it's because of Worry-Free City!" The City Lord's sarcastic words rang out again, "I really don't understand, Uncle Li, what about Worry-Free City makes you so dissatisfied that you have to cause such a big trouble for Worry-Free City? Do you know what kind of price I need to pay to resolve the aftermath for you this time?"

"I sent my personal steward, the steward who has served me since I was a child, to the capital to plead with Lone Wolf, even at the cost of kneeling down and letting Lone Wolf step on my face!" Before Uncle Li could answer, the City Lord was already furious, "Just because you didn't follow the rules when you were guarding the armory! The people my steward personally brought over, was it so difficult to honestly give them the things? Would you die if you did that?"
