Chapter 664: Someone Backed Out? A Fish Slipped Through the Net? Then Let’s Kill the Ones Who Quit First!
The young man with the maid looked somewhat embarrassed.
From Lu Ding's perspective, he could clearly see the man's fists gradually clenching.
Plus, this person had previously called the one who quit by the name 'Xiao Ma'.
It seems he knows the details...
Lu Ding began to think.
He would encounter the people present here before long, so there was no need to waste further thought on them.
On the other hand, the person who quit... if he wasn't dealt with this time, next time...
Lu Ding estimated he wouldn't be so lucky to run into him again.
He glanced at the young man with the maid, an idea already forming in his mind.
But there was no hurry. There were still two more matters to discuss."One more makes no difference, one less makes no difference. At worst, I'll handle his share. You may continue."
After saying this, Lu Ding sat down.
He handed the stage over to the young man with the maid.
The first to quit was someone he had dealings with, yet the one without any connection was the one giving unwavering support.
At this moment.
The young man with the maid, looking at the seated Lu Ding, had already developed a desire to befriend him.
He felt that.
At this moment, Lu Ding's temperament and personality, both suited him perfectly.
And by the looks of it, he wasn't too deep or scheming either.
This kind of person... is most suitable to be a friend, and also suitable to be a blade.
The young man suppressed his tangential thoughts.
He continued, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled."
"Now, I'll discuss the second matter."
"The Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family have sent word, seeking cooperation to deal with Lu Ding together."
"They are showing considerable sincerity. If we agree, they will send cultivators over, along with various resources, techniques, and can even provide several Earth Treasures ranked within the top seventy-two, for us to refine pills and share. It can be considered a heavy investment."
"What do you all think?"
He said 'you all', but in reality, his gaze swept over the group before finally settling on Lu Ding, lingering for a long time.
Whether it was his earlier statement, or his domineering behavior before everyone arrived.
All of it had established his own unique label in the minds of these people.
Powerful strength, a bad temper, straightforward personality, daring to take the lead.
Just that phrase, 'One more makes no difference, one less makes no difference. At worst, I'll handle his share.' With this sentence alone, who wouldn't desire to know someone like him?
A sense of security.
You all do as you please, I can handle the bottom line anyway.
Therefore, everyone was looking forward to his response.
Hearing that the Dragon Keeper Clan was quietly plotting again, and this time bringing along the Su Family, Lu Ding thought it was perfect to settle them all together.
You like coming, right?
Then we'll ambush you halfway. Whoever comes, dies!
We can also conveniently harvest those Earth Treasures, preparing for future realm advancement.
Just thinking about it, Lu Ding was already beginning to look forward to it.
This was his opportunity.
"I don't have any objections. Having help is naturally best, and with Earth Treasure support, it's not like we're working for free."
"But I have a question. Aren't the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family forces of the Great Han? Why are they suddenly coming here..."
Of course, he knew the reason. He just asked this way to stay in character.
The young man explained the whole incident of Lu Ding killing Dong Minglong.
Only then did Lu Ding pretend to have a sudden realization, smiling as he said, "Dogs biting dogs. How amusing."
When it came to cursing himself, he showed absolutely no mercy.
As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of laughter immediately erupted from the Wuwang members in the room.
At this moment.
Who didn't laugh wasn't important, but who did laugh, Lu Ding remembered clearly.
After the laughter subsided, the young man said, "Alright, that matter is settled too. However, there's one point: the Dragon Keeper Clan and the Su Family will not confront Lu Ding directly."
"After all, they are forces of the Great Han and must consider their image. So, when the time comes, the main force will still have to be us."
No one had any objections.
After all, even before the young man brought this up, everyone had already agreed to the plan to deal with Lu Ding.
Now, having a bit more support was a good thing, but it wasn't strictly necessary either.
Finally, there was the third matter.
"Last time, the Yellow Heaven Sect envoy died at the Rooster Sun Lady's Temple. It was also because of this incident that No-Leave-Heaven's death was linked."
"And it was also because of this incident that I learned some among us are still cooperating with the Yellow Heaven Sect, collecting young boys and girls."
"I can't control your evil deeds. I can't control if you eat or kill people. Humans can kill and eat demons and monsters, and demons and monsters can also eat and kill people."
"BUT!!!!!"
The young man's voice rose several notches.
"If anyone dares to develop these things into an industrial chain to scheme for their own benefit..."
"Whether the 749 Bureau will intervene or not, I don't know, but I will definitely pursue it to the end!!"
"I am human. The reason we can meet in Wuwang is because we share common goals. But some people collecting young boys and girls, this does not align with my principles."
"Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!"
In the room, some people silently lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
The young man turned his head, his gaze direct: "What do you think, Mr. Kang........."
The fat man who had lowered his head looked up: "I... I..."
He hemmed and hawed for a long time, unable to get the words out.
The young man smiled: "Don't be nervous."
Then he changed the subject: "Regarding these three matters today, does anyone have anything to add?"
"Nothing!"
"I have no objections. As long as I'm opposing the 749 Bureau, I'm happy!"
"Opinions? I can't wait to face Lu Ding already. My biggest opinion is, when do we act?"
As these people spoke, one after another.
The young man slowly stood up: "No hurry. You all go back and prepare. I will notify you before we take action."
Hearing this, Lu Ding thought, why the secrecy...
Isn't this being a bit too cautious?
And what's absurd is, not a single person questioned or expressed confusion. As the young man's words fell, everyone present stood up, absorbed the materials on the table into their bodies, and left.
Finally.
Only three people remained in the room.
Lu Ding, the young man, and the young man's maid.
Looking at Lu Ding, who was wearing the vest, the young man sat down again: "Brother, is there something else?"
Lu Ding sat with his arms crossed, not beating around the bush either. Sincerity was the ultimate weapon.
Combined with the fact that Gao Qiuli wanted to target Golden Ao's wife.
Lu Ding guessed that Wuwang did not forbid internal conflict. It was just that being too blatant about it would damage unity.
So he said, "Where is the person who just quit?"
