Chapter 1258 - Massive Introduction Session

Lu Shu looked at the Sun family, which was surrounded. Then, he looked at the numerous wealthy families facing the Sun family. He curiously asked, “From the look of things, you want to break off relations with the wealthy families in the palace. But what gives the Sun family the confidence to fight so many people?”

At that moment, a group of 12 people stood in front of the Sun family. To Lu Shu’s shock, all 12 people were Rank One experts.

Sun Zhongyang calmly said, “My father started to nurture his own underlings since 100 years ago. Each of these 12 underlings might not lose to those patrons. The Sun family will kill all the wealthy families here and leave our legacy!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. When he had heard of Sun Xunwen, he did not take it to heart. Back then, someone said that Sun Xunwen was the one who had the most potential to advance to the master realm in the palace. Lu Shu thought… was he that amazing?

But those who were able to break free from the wealthy families in the palace had extraordinary characteristics. When orders were issued from the palace of the King of Gods, he was able to make a prompt decision and put the fate of the Sun family on Lu Shu’s shoulders. This was interesting.

Furthermore, he was a genius who had been waiting patiently for 100 years. He had nurtured 12 underlings while keeping in his desire to become family head. When he advanced to the master realm, he finally stood up. Needless to say, to Lu Shu, Sun Xunwen had strength, patience, and ambition. Most importantly… he had good judgment.

Lu Shu hesitated. Then, he said, “Why did your father dare to put the fate of the Sun family on my shoulders?”

“My father said that all of nature is with you,” explained Sun Zhongyang.

Lu Shu nodded. “Hm. What a praise… no. What else did he say?”

Sun Zhongyang looked blankly at Lu Shu. He did not know what to say. He realized that up till this point, this young man was still not decent!

“From Sun Zhongyang’s distress, +666!”

But something strange happened suddenly. Someone among the wealthy families suddenly laughed coldly. “No wonder the Sun family was in a rush. So you were rushing to establish relations with the Wei Wu Army!”

Sun Zhongyang turned and looked at the person. He calmly said, “So what?”

The person said, “Have you ever thought that we too might be here to depend on the Wei Wu Army…”

Sun Zhongyang was speechless.

Not only was the Sun family dumbfounded, even Lu Shu was speechless. The situation had suddenly changed. He was caught unprepared. He was puzzled. “You came all the way here, covered in dust, just to depend on the Wei Wu Army?”

A slave from among the wealthy families suddenly knelt down. “Great Lord, please accept us. We are willing to be at your service!”

The tense situation had suddenly taken a strange turn. A large group of people from the wealthy families in the palace had suddenly come to Lu Shu and wanted to rely on him. Even if this was real, Lu Shu still had to take them in!

The wealthy families only sought benefits. How could Lu Shu believe them? They might only be doing so because they were forced to. After all, he had the power to kill them. In the future, they might take the opportunity to kill Lu Shu.

Thus, Sun Zhongyang’s greatest mistake was being with the wealthy families from the palace. They did not have any basis of trust, but he remained with them. He even pledged his loyalty while being surrounded. Under these circumstances, how could Lu Shu easily believe them?

Lu Xiaoyu, Coral, Chen Zuan, and the others could immediately imagine what would happen to these people. They had even started to silently mourn for them.

But what could Sun Zhongyang do? He was in despair too.

According to his plan, the Sun family should have obtained the trust of the Wei Wu Army first.

At this moment, someone from the Song family walked out. He took out a letter and said in a loud voice, “Great Lord, the boss and the chief officer of the Song family gambling den, Xiao Mingze and Zhao Shuai, have ordered me to bring a letter to you.”

Li Heitan walked over and took the letter. Then, he passed it to Lu Shu. Lu Shu took a look. Was the Song family planning to pledge their loyalty?

After all, Xiao Mingze had decided to send him several thousand sets of magical armor. Back then, no one saw Lu Shu in a good light. If Lu Shu was killed by Duanmu Huangqi, Xiao Mingze’s investment would have gone to waste.

The servant from the Song family did not mention their past contributions. He simply said, “Xiao Mingze is very worried about you, Great Lord…”

Lu Shu smiled and kept the letter. “I have to give Boss Xiao and Chief Officer Zhao some face.”

The people from the Song family heaved a sigh of relief. Just like what the rumors had claimed, Lu Shu was easier to deal with then Duanmu Huangqi…

The other wealthy families looked blankly at the Song family. Now, they had the possibility of dying at any moment. Now, they realized that the Song family had already established ties with Lu Shu.

At this moment, they regretted not making relations with the Wei Wu Army earlier. It was too late for them to say anything now.

If Lu Shu went on a massacre, all of them would die, but the Song family would be fine.

This was the difference between life and death.

Someone suddenly said, “Great Lord, the Li family is willing to provide the Wei Wu Army with resources! The family head has said that as long as you make a request, we will definitely do our best to fulfill it!”

Sun Zhongyang’s heart broke. He was done for. The excuse he had thought of had been stolen by the others. This young man was very greedy!

Sun Zhongyang felt sick. Why had he not specified his criteria, knowing that Lu Shu was a greedy person? He quickly added on. “Great Lord, the Sun family can do the same!”

“Great Lord, we can also…”

“Great Lord!”

Lu Shu sighed with emotion. He was not good at making plans. Li Liang had said that as long as the deal breaker had strength, they did not have to put much focus on wealth. It would naturally come to them. He was right.

If Li Liang had not said so, he would be living his days while short on money.

But the shouts of Great Lord suddenly brought Lu Shu back to the Azure Dragon Village. In front of him was a massive introduction session.

But the problem now was, how should he deal with these people? It was not quite suitable to bring them along, but neither was killing all of them. Chasing them away would be even worse, as this would sow the seeds of disaster.

At this moment, Sun Zhongyang shouted, “Great Lord, the Sun family is the most sincere! We have been rushing at full speed to try and leave them behind. We wanted to meet you by ourselves!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He was curious. “Then why didn’t you leave them behind?”

Sun Zhongyang was dumbfounded. This was a good question. Why did they not leave them behind…

Lu Shu was more inclined to believe Sun Zhongyang. For some reason, he had a feeling that Sun Xunwen had the courage to make such a bold gamble.

Sun Zhongyang quickly pointed at the other wealthy families. “Great Lord, we rushed here as quickly as we could to meet you. But they followed so closely behind that we could not shake them off. If you don’t believe me, ask them!”

Lu Shu looked at the rest. The other wealthy families said in unison, “Great Lord, there was no such thing.”

Sun Zhongyang was speechless.

The other wealthy families secretly laughed. Who were you fighting against? Now, you would go through life and death with the other wealthy families!
