Chapter 237-238: The Crisis of Pingcheng, City Lord’s Praise
Luo Sheng scratched his head awkwardly.
Then he comforted her, saying, “Didn’t I co out safe and sound? Don’t worry, I was prepared.”
“But… that was a gold-level Card Master…”
Wang Keai was still shaken.
Earlier, the skills used by Black Jack were still vivid in her mind.
The power of his moves was so great that even she felt terrified, yet Luo Sheng resolutely fought against him.
Luo Sheng patted her little head, “Don’t worry, he’s dead now. I didn’t fight for long before Instructor Su suddenly appeared and finished him off.”
It was indeed very dangerous at that ti.
However, a blessing in disguise.
Luo Sheng obtained a large number of cards from this battle. In short, the gains from this fight were very substantial.
“What if he hadn’t appeared?” Wang Keai was still a bit stubborn.
Luo Sheng understood her concern, she just didn’t want him to put himself in danger again.
He felt quite touched.
“There aren’t that many ‘what ifs’. I promised to go to your ho, I can’t go back on my word, right? I don’t want you to be blad for a lifeti.”
Luo Sheng smiled.
As she was about to speak, he took out several high-quality cards from his card box and handed them to Wang Keai’s small hands.
Among them were world fragnts from the Demon Realm and Ghostly otherworld dinsion, as well as several Guardian cards, mostly ice and water system battle cards, with levels ranging from silver 4-star to 6-star.
They were very suitable for her deck. He had been receiving so much kindness from her before, now it was ti to repay.
“Why are you giving
so many?” Wang Keai asked in surprise.
These cards were all more powerful than the ones she was currently using, with very special abilities.
“These are all spoils from inside, of course you get a share, because we discovered it together,”
Luo Sheng said as he flicked Wang Keai’s forehead.
Wang Keai imdiately covered her forehead, “You!”
When she tried to return them, Luo Sheng pushed them back and held her small hand, saying, “It’s not safe here anymore, let’s leave quickly. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
“Oh, alright.”
Seeing Luo Sheng’s serious expression, Wang Keai nodded sensibly and put away the cards.
She let him hold her hand as they walked away.
The Card Masters around who saw this scene were heartbroken.
They had originally just co to watch the show, but now seeing Wang Keai so concerned about Luo Sheng and letting him hold her hand as they left, they felt a pang in their hearts. It seed Wang Keai was now spoken for.
“What a pity…”
“Don’t think too much, the Door Opening Master’s strength is obvious to all.”
“A hero deserves a beauty, I guess.”
“I heard her sister Wang ili is even prettier, and she’s still single.”
So young Card Masters chattered and discussed.
Especially seeing Luo Sheng with a beauty caring for him, they felt extrely envious.
When soone ntioned that Wang ili was still single, those around suddenly rekindled their hope.
After leaving the crowded area.
Just as Luo Sheng was about to send Wang Keai back, suddenly, a voice called out to him.
A man wearing a black uniform with many badges, seemingly holding a high position in the Card Alliance, approached him.
He walked up to him and politely asked, “You’re Luo Sheng, right?”
Luo Sheng raised an eyebrow.
His heart skipped a beat.
But he still nodded, “Yes, that’s . Is sothing wrong?”
“It’s like this, City Lord Lei wants to et you.”
Hearing his words, Luo Sheng imdiately felt relieved.
He had thought it might be a spy from the Evil Card Masters coming to cause trouble. If that were the case, the entire Pingcheng would be dood, after all, if Evil Card Masters could infiltrate such a high position.
The destruction of Pingcheng would only be a matter of ti.
Luo Sheng imdiately replied politely, “May I ask how to address you?”
“Zhou Ping, you can call
Uncle Zhou.”
Zhou Ping continued politely.
Luo Sheng nodded, then looked at Wang Keai.
Seeing her unwilling to leave, he finally turned to Zhou Ping and asked, “Um, can I bring her along?”
“Of course, no problem. However, I hope she can keep so things confidential.”
“Don’t worry, I will, Uncle Zhou,” Wang Keai nodded politely.
Then she tightly held onto Luo Sheng’s arm, afraid he would abandon her again, and lightly pinched his flesh with her fingernails.
Luo Sheng looked helpless.
At this mont, Wang Keai whispered in his ear, introducing, “He’s the secretary of City Lord Lei, and also the highest commander in charge of the Guard Bureau and the Ard Forces.”
Luo Sheng looked at Wang Keai suspiciously, “How do you know?”
“My family has very close contact with the Alliance, so we know a bit about them. City Lord Lei Wu, Secretary Zhou Ping.”
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Because I didn’t know what they looked like. These high-level matters are rarely disclosed to us by the family, so I’ve never seen them before. I just knew about it.”
Wang Keai said matter-of-factly.
Luo Sheng felt sowhat envious of her.
She could receive the protection of her family, not needing to understand too much about anything, completely like a flower in a greenhouse.
While he was like wild grass outside, not only facing wind and rain but also having to endure storms.
Afterwards, the two followed Zhou Ping to a secluded location.
There, they could see many Card Masters wearing dark gray uniforms guarding the surroundings, and their levels were all not low, averaging between silver 1-star to 3-star.
This would be an unshakeable force anywhere.
It was evident that the person being protected inside held an extrely high status.
“Uncle Zhou, why did you call us here?” Luo Sheng asked cautiously.
Zhou Ping opened the door, “Go inside, and you’ll know.”
Luo Sheng felt a bit uneasy, but still nodded and walked in.
He saw a strong, imposing figure standing with his back to them, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the scene outside. The Ghostly otherworld dinsion outside was still dark and gloomy, occasionally emitting terrifying might.
But he seed to be deep in thought about sothing, his expression sowhat grave.
Seeing him, Luo Sheng respectfully said, “City Lord, hello. May I ask why you called
here?”
Lei turned his head to look at him, first startled, then his face broke into a smile, “So it’s you, young man. Relax, don’t be nervous, it’s just to discuss so matters.”
“You know ?”
Luo Sheng was very confused.
They didn’t seem to have t before.
And he was just an ordinary person, surely not worthy of attention from such an important figure.
Lei Wu said, “When soone tampered with the black market before, I had a brief encounter with you. You were quite lucky to survive in that environnt, indeed you have so skills.”
“But I was wearing a mask.”
“When you reach my level, you’ll know that masks are almost useless.”
“I see.”
Luo Sheng nodded.
Platinum-level Card Masters were very rare, so there wasn’t much knowledge about them.
After all, it was only obligatory education. To truly understand Platinum-level Card Masters, one would have to go to a Card University, which was a higher education institution where one could learn everything about Card Masters.
Luo Sheng didn’t know exactly what abilities Platinum-level had.
But it filled him with anticipation.
“You’re that little girl from the Wang family?”
“Yes.” Wang Keai stood behind Luo Sheng. It was also her first ti eting the City Lord, so she was sowhat nervous. “Am I disturbing you?”
“No, no, I’ve known Wang Bin for many years, you don’t need to be so formal, just relax.”
“You have a good relationship with my father?”
“Of course, we were even from the sa academy, so our relationship is naturally good, and he has helped
a lot.”
Lei Wu smiled at her as well.
Wang Keai finally relaxed.
“I see, can I call you Uncle Lei?”
“Haha, of course, no problem. He has told
quite a bit about you.”
“What did he say?”
Wang Keai asked expectantly.
Lei Wu patiently replied, “He said you’re a mischievous child, quite stubborn, especially fond of taking risks, which scared him quite a bit and gave him quite a headache.”
Wang Keai imdiately felt embarrassed.
She stuck out her tongue and obediently stood aside.
“Alright, let’s get back to business,” Lei Wu returned to his serious deanor.
Then he looked at Luo Sheng and asked, “How much do you know about the Evil Card Masters?”
Faced with the City Lord’s inquiry, Luo Sheng thought for a mont.
Then he said, “Not much, I only know that so people have already infiltrated the Ard Forces, but I’m not sure to what level or rank. And they seem to be plotting sothing big.
That is to destroy the entire Pingcheng. I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop them.”
Luo Sheng spoke with an apologetic tone.
Lei Wu lightly patted his shoulder, “No need to apologize, you’ve done very well. At least you inford us of this news in advance, so we know about the moles.”
Zhou Ping beside him also nodded, “Indeed, the City Lord is right. If it weren’t for your information, I would have been kept in the dark, not knowing they were planning a big move today.”
Zhou Ping was the overall commander of the Ard Forces and Guard Bureau.
It would have been a major dereliction of duty if his subordinate units were infiltrated without his knowledge.
Especially having spies planted right under his nose.
City Lord Lei asked Luo Sheng again, “Do you know anything else?”
“They seem to be colluding with quite a few family forces in Pingcheng, including the Qin family. However, it’s very difficult to find evidence now, they’ve cleaned up the evidence thoroughly.”
Luo Sheng then shared the intelligence information he had obtained that day at the tavern.
He told them everything in detail.
Especially about the Qin family colluding with the Evil Card Masters, even planning to sacrifice Qin Jianjia in exchange for the Evil Card Masters’ help, as well as the news he heard about the Evil Card Masters wanting to take Qin Jianjia away.
Of course, he made sure to hide his source of information, trying his best not to implicate Xu Yourong.
