334: Chapter 334 Bu Ke'er Makes Her Move (Part 1)

"Father waking up? What does that mean? Could it be that this girl's father is injured and in a coma?"

City Lord Lan muttered to himself, but looking at General Lu Zheng's attitude toward the young woman, and the fact that he specifically asked her to accompany him for this kind of matter, it didn't seem like the kind of relationship he had imagined.

Seeing General Lu Zheng focus his attention on the jade pendant, he cautiously asked General Bu Keer.

"May I ask, Young Miss Bu Keer, what Realm has your strength reached?"

Before General Bu Keer could speak, Lu Zheng, who was standing to the side, said:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't."

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my slip of the tongue."

City Lord Lan said hurriedly, not daring to think about it anymore. He saw Lu Zheng pick up the jade pendant again, but this time, it was through a sealed bag.

City Lord Lan was taken aback. Although he didn't understand, he knew what he should and shouldn't ask.

"Logically speaking, I don't have the authority to interrogate you, but as a Town General, even if I were to kill you, it shouldn't be an issue."

Upon hearing these words from General Lu Zheng, City Lord Lan's heart trembled, and he felt panic inside.

"G-General Lu, you..."

City Lord Lan Tairan stuttered; General Lu Zheng had been fine just a moment ago, so why did he suddenly seem like a different person?

"Thousands of people have died at the hands of that organization."

"How exactly have you been acting as City Lord!"

"Tell me!"

With Lu Zheng's shout, a powerful Town General Aura pressed toward him, targeting only City Lord Lan Tairan.

Under this Aura, City Lord Lan Tairan felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain. Is this the terror of a Town General?

City Lord Lan Tairan knew that if he didn't explain himself, he might really die here.

"General Lu, this matter is my fault..."

"It was my negligence."

"But I can explain, General Lu Zheng, please listen to my explanation."

Hearing City Lord Lan Tairan's words, Lu Zheng snorted coldly and reduced his Aura slightly. City Lord Lan Tairan gasped for air, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.

"I'd like to see how you explain this; otherwise, Li City should change its City Lord."

"Yes, yes, yes."

City Lord Lan Tairan took a deep breath and then said:

"When this organization was causing chaos, Li City was under attack by external Evolved Beasts, and most of our combat power was being used to deal with the Evolved Beasts outside the city."

"I and some other high-ranking officials were stationed outside. During that time, if Li City had shown the slightest slack, the Evolved Beasts would have swarmed in."

"My attention was entirely focused on the great war against the Evolved Beasts."

"That war lasted for several months. By the time the war ended and we discovered the organization's tracks, it was already too late, causing irreparable losses."

"General Lu Zheng, I know this is not an excuse. I only hope that you, Town General, will give me another chance. Even if it means death, I want to capture them to honor the spirits of the people of Li City."

City Lord Lan Tairan said, pleading with Lu Zheng. After hearing this, Lu Zheng sighed. Evolved Beasts again. Although City Lord Lan Tairan said this, it was still a failure of supervision; after all, as the master of a city, he had to bear this responsibility.

"Fine, I am aware of this matter."

"Then you must show me your performance and let me see your sincerity."

"Earlier in the car, you said you had something to ask of me. Was it about this organization? Did you want me to help you?"

Lu Zheng thought of what City Lord Lan Tairan had said to the Deputy City Lord in the car earlier. City Lord Lan Tairan was instantly alarmed, not expecting that what he had said to the Deputy City Lord had been overheard by General Lu Zheng.

He hurriedly said:

"No, General Lu Zheng, you have misunderstood; it is not about this matter."

"This matter happened in my Li City, and I will personally provide the public with an explanation. Furthermore, I have already tracked down the organization's hiding place and intend to close the net tonight."

"I was talking about something else..."

City Lord Lan Tairan hesitated for a moment, then, no longer holding back, said:

"I suspect that a Tier 4 Beast King has been born at the Evolved Beast gathering place outside Li City. I once felt a very terrifying Aura flash by; that Aura was definitely at the Beast King level."

"Moreover, in our war against them in Li City, it wasn't actually us who pushed them back; they withdrew on their own."

"I had intended to report this, but it just so happened that you, General Lu Zheng, arrived, so I wanted to ask you to take action and investigate whether a Tier 4 Beast King has truly been born."

City Lord Lan Tairan said, and after listening, Lu Zheng nodded slowly.

"After we resolve this organization, I will take action."

Upon hearing this, City Lord Lan Tairan's face lit up with joy. With General Lu Zheng taking action, Li City would be safe. However, he immediately froze, realizing the other meaning in General Lu Zheng's words.

"After resolving this matter?"

"General Lu Zheng, are you..."

Lu Zheng glanced at City Lord Lan Tairan, and General Bu Keer, who was standing to the side, said slowly:

"Tonight, you don't need to take action."

"Because the people from that organization have already taken action against you first."

City Lord Lan Tairan was stunned after hearing General Bu Keer's words, but immediately after, a massive tremor came from outside, followed by the sounds of battle.

Hearing this sound, even if City Lord Lan Tairan were a fool, he would have realized that the people from that organization had made their move.

At this moment, outside the research lab, the burly man moved as if he were in an empty land, his powerful Aura erupting. Countless attacks landed on him without causing any injuries.

His strength had already reached the Peak of Tier 3, and in Li City, no one could compare to him.

Therefore, he was not at all worried about attracting the attention of Li City's high-level combat power.

Behind him, his underlings were already fighting with the surrounding Evolvers, and it had instantly become a battlefield.

In the burly man's eyes, there was only one thing: the tenth jade pendant. After investigating, he could be certain that his tenth jade pendant was inside this research institute.

"With just this much strength, wanting to stop me is truly wishful thinking."

The burly man headed straight into the depths of the research lab. The fighting continued all around, and at this moment, beside Lu Zheng, City Lord Lan Tairan realized something and hurriedly said:

"General Lu Zheng, I will go..."

But before he could finish, Lu Zheng stopped him.

"You are no match for that leader."

"I'd better go."

General Bu Keer said immediately; after all, she quite liked the mobile phone City Lord Lan Tairan had brought for her. City Lord Lan Tairan seemed not to have reacted yet, staring blankly as a powerful Aura erupted from General Bu Keer, and she instantly disappeared before his eyes.

"Ah..."

"This..."

"Don't just stand there stunned, you, as City Lord, go and help the others."

After Lu Zheng said this, he pulled City Lord Lan Tairan away, taking the jade pendant with him when they left.

The burly man stood where he was, his extremely exaggerated physique like a wall, watching the woman who had appeared before him.

"You want to stop me?!"
