C36 City Lord

City Lord.

Biyun City City Lord's Mansion

"City Lord." The butler stood outside the study and called out softly, afraid that his voice would cause trouble. He knew that the City Lord had been in a bad mood these past two days because of the Shadow Legion.

Although the one who died was only a captain, the back of the imperial family behind him had to be taken seriously. It was also because of this that the City Lord of Biyun City had locked himself in this study room and had not seen anyone since that day.

The surrounding servants also tactfully avoided this place and did not dare to approach. After a few days of anxiety, that bloated figure had also become much thinner.

"Hey, come in!" The mayor's weak sigh came from the study room. Although he had said that no one was allowed to disturb him these few days, however, he was the one who promoted the housekeeper. He was smart and capable. Something must have happened to him. Otherwise, he would not be in a hurry to see him.

The butler hurriedly walked in after hearing that. When he saw the city lord, who had become a little more anxious and thin, he could not help but be shocked. He secretly wondered if he should tell him about the matter.

The City Lord saw the depressed look on the butler's face and the anger in his heart could not help but increase a little. He urged, "What exactly is the matter? Tell me quickly."

"City Lord, something happened to the Underground Bank." The butler's heart shook as he hurriedly said.

"What happened?" The city lord asked in shock. The worry on his face increased a bit, and the envoy's expression became even more ferocious, with cold sweat dripping down.

Previously, he had placed the Underground Bank in the residential area to cover up for others. He was careful, but now there was a problem, which made the timid him even more nervous.

"The Underground Bank was robbed and lost ten million gold coins. The entire Underground Bank was burned down, and all the people inside died. Even the Ghost Man... " At this point, the butler stopped talking and did not continue.

The City Lord leaned back as if he had collapsed. He did not know who had attacked behind his back. The loss of gold coins was still manageable, but what was the motive behind it?

He knew the strength of the Ghost Man, although he was only at the peak of crowns. However, his assassination had been very successful. He had never lost a hand in so many years. But now, he was dead. It was imaginable how terrifying the attacker's strength was.

Could it be that this time, it was the same person or the same group of people who killed Black Edge?

This thought shocked him. If that was the case, then what was their goal? He kept thinking about it in his heart.

The butler by the side quietly stood by the side and did not dare to speak. He knew what the timid city lord in front of him was thinking about.

After a long time, the City Lord's state of mind gradually stabilized. He asked powerlessly, "How are the reactions of the Zhou Family and the Dong Families?"

The butler was stunned for a moment before he quickly stepped forward and said, "Their reactions are extremely furious. They said that they must catch the murderer. They also said... that they also asked the city lord to send more people to investigate."

After the City Lord heard this, the anger that he had suppressed for a long time was completely vented out. He roared furiously, "These two bastards, they are really scheming. The real purpose behind the scene is still unclear. The situation is getting more and more chaotic. They want me to take the lead to block the spear for you. In your dreams. "

The butler replied from the side, "Sir is right, Sir is right."

The City Lord coldly snorted and said: "Have you dealt with the matters of those girls before?"

"Sir, don't worry, they've all been dealt with. There are no traces at all, and we've stopped since then."

The City Lord looked at the butler and nodded in satisfaction. When he thought about how his subordinates were so efficient, those who knew what he was thinking felt a little gratified.

"Go and gather 300 guards in the city to surround the Underground Bank. At the same time, clear all the surrounding houses and leave no traces behind. Find 10 scapegoats and kill them on the spot."

The butler was shocked and did not expect the City Lord to be so cautious. At the same time, he said worriedly, "City Lord, if you do that, it will not be easy to explain to the Zhou Family and the Dong Families side. After all, the flat area is the foundation that we have been operating for so many years. Isn't it a little..."

"What, you are questioning me here."

"I wouldn't dare."

"Hmph, so what if it's the Zhou family and the Dong Families? They're just a bunch of things that know how to split money behind their backs. Don't bother with them. Alright, you can leave now."

"Yes." The butler said softly and closed the door of the study quietly. After walking a distance, he let out a long sigh of relief. This city lord was a temperamental person. Although he was still alright now, who knew what would happen in the future.

Thinking about this, the butler shook his head. He thought that since he had already embarked on this path, he had already lost the chance to turn back. He should just do as he was told.

Following that, all sorts of big movements appeared in the Biyun City. The Guards had killed the Underground Bank participants who had violated the laws of the empire in the flatland area. They also dismantled the entire civilian area, and it only took a day for it to end. They had cleaned up all the traces that were left behind.

The Zhou family.

"That damn stupid pig really pissed me off." When Zhou Family Head heard the news, he was almost angered to death. The Underground Bank that he had been working so hard to manage was destroyed just like that.

Beside him sat a thin middle-aged man. The expression on his face was not very good. He sighed and said, "Brother Zhou, forget it. Things have already happened. What can we do? "

Zhou Family Head's mood eased up after hearing the middle-aged man's words. He said, "Brother Dong, that's true, but when you think about the profit of nearly 100 million gold coins per year, it's really..."

When it came to profit, the Dong Family family head did not feel very good in his heart.

"Forget it. After a while, let's find another place. As for the city head, forget it. We can't work with such a timid person."

Zhou Family Head nodded and said, "That's true."

Outside the Biyun City.

After Long Chenhao and Lan Yun went back, they planned what they would do in the future. They had no idea what was happening inside the Biyun City.

Mu Yang was cultivating the crown skills given to him by Long Chenhao in the woods not far away. After the battle with the men in black, he had gone through a lot of fights with them. He was cultivating the ___ given to him by ___.

And also realized the enormous inadequacies of his own strength.

The heavy blade was constantly swinging in his hand. The Whirlwind Slash was slowly forming under the support of the crown force. As he moved, the trees around him were cut in half by the sharp blade at the waist.

Mu Yang shouted, pushing the Whirlwind Slash to its limit. The heavy blade in his hand provided a very good feedback, increasing the power of the Whirlwind Slash by a few points.

Sweat kept dripping down from his forehead. The muscles on his body were trembling due to the consumption of a large amount of crown force. Mu Yu walked over from the side and quickly wiped the sweat off her brother's forehead. She was smart enough to know that the moment they finished with the matter of the Biyun City would be the moment they separated.

Mu Yang saw Mu Yu reveal a silly smile and asked, "Little sister, why are you here?"

"I knew that brother would definitely be cultivating secretly here, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect brother to become so much stronger in such a short period of time." Mu Yu revealed a sweet smile.

"What am I? If you see Long Gongzi making a move, you will be called powerful." Mu Yang said with admiration, but then he remembered the scene where he entrusted Mu Yu to Long Chenhao.

Although he was honest and honest, he could still understand some things.

"Little sister, do you hate me?" Mu Yang hesitated for a while and suddenly said.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

"It's all because I don't have the ability to protect you that we are homeless now. It's all thanks to the two young masters..." Mu Yang followed and said, "Sister, don't worry. I will definitely build a bigger and better home for you in the future."

Mu Yu looked at her honest and honest older brother and nodded heavily.

Who would have thought that the cruelty of the world would be like this? After so many years, who would have thought that this seemingly simple and honest looking young man would be able to stand alone.
