1179 New Mission (1/2)

”Con… Consequence…” Ju Niao stuttered. ”Black Dragon Faction is backed up by the Lu family… If the Lu family doesn't fall, then they will come after me… What… What should I do?!”

Ju Niao was terror struck.

The Lus were no ordinary family. They were powerful and have deep pockets. They also had a lot of elites in their family!

Ju Niao knew that Chen Xiaobei was good but not enough to fight the Lu family on his own!

If the Lu family still managed to stand even after the Atlantis incident, Ju Niao would be done for.

”Master Chen… Why don't you say something, Master Chen… My whole life depends on you now…”

Ju Niao needed Chen Xiaobei's help to figure out a way to solve his problem. He could not just sit there and wait for things to fall apart.

”This is what you are going to do.” The wheels in Chen Xiaobei's mind had been turning. ”Ask your men to gather up all of these bodies and dispose of them in the Black Dragon Faction's territory. If the Lus come looking for you, give me a call and I will deal with it.”

”Re…. Really?” Ju Niao begged, ”Could you not leave? Based on the way the Lu family works, they will come tonight…”

”They won't.” Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, ”Tonight, the core members of the Lu family will be going to the governor's place to discuss a plan for Atlantis with Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo! Until they come up with a solution, which might take about 3—5 days, the Lu family will not have any time to come and deal with a nobody like you.”

Ju Niao was relieved to hear this. ”If that's the case, then it's okay… There's enough time for me to make a run for it…”

”Look at you! It seems like you are not suitable to become a leader. I think it's best for me to bring my friend over!”

”You're right… I am useless…” Ju Niao was in tears. ”My brother and I resigned from the army because we were too afraid of dying in the hands of the Demonic Beasts… It was not easy getting out of that. Now, we have to die in the hands of the Lu family….”

”Alright. That's settled for now. Settle whatever you have to, hold the fort for now and I will take care of the rest.

Chen Xiaobei gave the final instructions and then left.

”Er…” Ju Niao was pounding deep inside him. He chewed over it the whole day before he made abandoned the thought of running away. He decided to give fighting next to Chen Xiaobei a try.

...

By the time Chen Xiaobei returned to the 2nd Regiment base camp, it was already dark out.

Ning Yuchen and Hu Ben had already finished their training and were resting in their room.

”Boss, why hasn't Zhufeng come back yet? Do you think he got lost?” Hu Ben asked worriedly.

”Zhufeng is pretty smart. I don't he would get lost…” Ning Yuchen replied. ”But I am a little worried because it's his first time in the city. I'm worried that he might have gotten into trouble with any of the faction members…”

”Give Zhufeng a call, now!” Hu Ben was on edge now. ”He's just a Zero-Star Black Steel newbie. He can't even win over a normal thug. But if he messes with the factio members, then he'd be in deep trouble!”

Ning Yuchen shook his head and said, ”Let's just wait a little while longer. Zhufeng has a lot of self-esteem. If we get all worried, he would think that we're looking down on his cultivation…”

”But I'm really worried…” Hu Ben said, barely able to sit still. ”Zhufeng could be beaten and kicked by a bunch of thugs and is now cold and hungry and lost… poor boy…”

”Er… Brother Hu. Don't you think you're being a little too dramatic? Can't you expect a little better of me?”

A voice came from the door, chuckling. It was Chen Xiaobei.
