Chapter 326: I Have Soone Backing
The banquet began.
City Lord Lei first went on stage to thank the family forces and groups that had made great contributions during this disaster.
Then ca so opening remarks.
He inford everyone that after this incident, the Card Alliance headquarters would unconditionally support the reconstruction of Pingcheng. At that ti, Pingcheng would usher in new developnt, and everyone present would be able to enjoy a better living environnt.
Many families had originally held such an attitude. They helped Pingcheng weather the disaster during the crisis, and when the war ended, it would be ti to share the benefits.
Although this war had resulted in the loss of a large number of Card Masters, there were also so good outcos, such as an increase in the number of cards.
So clever groups or family forces could make high profits by reselling cards to other places.
After all, cards were now abundant in Pingcheng, and prices had plumted.
Especially after Pingcheng lost so many Card Masters, the market size had shrunk and would need so ti to recover.
Therefore, selling a large number of cards from Pingcheng to other places to make huge profits could also help restore Pingcheng’s economy.
After City Lord Lei finished his official speech, he ca to the main event.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached every corner of the banquet through the microphone.
“In this incident, the person we are most grateful to is Luo Sheng. Because of his selfless dedication, I learned in advance about the spies hidden within our ranks by the Evil Card Master organization, as well as their conspiracy.
If it weren’t for him, if we had found out a few days later, we might have followed in the footsteps of Dragon City. Therefore, without him, Pingcheng would have lost at least 70% of its population. Luo Sheng is our hero.
Let’s salute him.”
As City Lord Lei spoke, he raised the white wine in his hand.
The guests present also raised their wine glasses, so with red wine, so with white, and so with yellow. All kinds of wine.
They unanimously saluted Luo Sheng, who was standing next to the podium!
Luo Sheng rarely encountered such a scene and could only smile helplessly.
Yuchi Xueyao, standing beside him, patted his shoulder and said candidly, “Don’t act like an inexperienced kid. Loosen up a bit, be more confident.”
“This…” Luo Sheng was at a loss for words and wanted to retort.
Yuchi Xueyao whispered in his ear, “Don’t tell
you’re just a little brat. A gold-level little brat, higher than everyone here. Who would believe that if you said it?”
“Alright.” Luo Sheng was left speechless.
This girl always used his true level to put him in his place.
However, Luo Sheng was also wary of her. If one day she decided to use him as a test subject, researching the reasons for his rapid advancent, it would cause a lot of trouble.
Luo Sheng could only hope that his strength would increase rapidly.
Preferably surpassing Yuchi Xueyao, so he wouldn’t have to fear her threats.
Luo Sheng also raised his wine glass, facing the guests below, and said loudly, “Ahem, I am a part of Pingcheng, and contributing to Pingcheng is only natural. Thank you all for your kindness!”
“That’s more like it.” Yuchi Xueyao nodded with great satisfaction.
As if she were nurturing a successor.
As Yuchi Xueyao spoke, a faint fragrance emanated from her body, like orchids.
Luo Sheng always felt that she was subtly releasing her charm.
But Luo Sheng still felt that she was like a fem fatale.
Mysterious and full of danger.
Then everyone drank a glass.
City Lord Lei continued, “This ti, I have decided to give these contributors the highest rewards.”
He then announced the content of the rewards.
This ti, the rewards would no longer be in the form of card draws, but direct gifts of card coins.
Like Luo Sheng, who had made significant contributions.
Not only did he resolve the internal troubles of the Card Alliance, but he also forewarned of the danger to Pingcheng, reducing Pingcheng’s losses.
So the reward was 100 card coins, as well as a bottle of silver 10-star 【Spiritual Jade Refining Raw Liquid】.
These two items were quite valuable.
100 card coins converted to ordinary currency would be close to 100 million, while the silver-level 【Spiritual Jade Refining Raw Liquid】 was worth even more than 100 card coins.
Luo Sheng had never imagined that Pingcheng could reward so much this ti.
His balance reached 575 card coins, which was an enormous sum.
At this ti, Secretary Zhou, standing on the other side, said, “This is sponsored by the Alliance headquarters, so the rewards are substantial.”
Luo Sheng had a sudden realization, “Oh, I see.”
However, the rewards this ti were indeed generous.
Luo Sheng glanced to the side and found that Yuchi Xueyao had disappeared at so point.
She was almost ethereal.
Indeed full of mystery, difficult to fathom.
Luo Sheng looked up and finally saw Yuchi Xueyao’s figure. She was holding a cigarette, smoking with great enjoynt.
And she was watching the expressions and conversations of the people below with great interest.
Like an owl in the night, scrutinizing her prey.
None of the audience at the banquet noticed.
The banquet continued.
City Lord Lei kept announcing the list of rewards, and many Card Masters who participated in this event received substantial rewards.
Even Xu Yourong received a reward worth 10 card coins.
The prize pool for this banquet was estimated to exceed 2,000 card coins.
Luo Sheng took the lion’s share.
Everyone was satisfied with this banquet.
The only one who wasn’t was Old Lady Xu, who was frowning as she attended the banquet.
Especially when she saw Luo Sheng on the stage, and Xu Yourong who ca up later, her heart skipped a beat.
The two people who should have died were actually not dead.
Instead, Xu Dongsen and other mbers who were doing the cleanup work had mysteriously disappeared in the old city district.
Old Lady Xu had already guessed so things.
“These two are beyond expectations, do they really have soone backing them?” Old Lady Xu beca nervous.
She guessed that Xu Dongsen and the other mbers had been dealt with.
But she wasn’t sure if Luo Sheng was involved in the hunt for Xu Dongsen, after all, Luo Sheng was only at silver 7-star and couldn’t be a match for a gold-level Card Master. It was more likely to be his teacher Su Tianchen.
Who was also the current principal of No. 2 Academy, who could resolve this.
At this point in the banquet, another aspect was announced.
City Lord Lei also announced that the Qin family, who had helped the Evil Card Master organization this ti, would be placed on the wanted list, and wanted orders would be issued in all places the Alliance could reach.
In other words, they would have almost nowhere to hide.
When Old Lady Xu heard this, her expression beca even more complex and strange.
Her expression was now noticed by Luo Sheng, who had been watching her.
When Xu Yourong went on stage, she secretly pointed out Old Lady Xu’s location and told Luo Sheng.
Now, looking at Old Lady Xu’s complex expression.
Luo Sheng asked Xu Yourong, “Is Xu Dongsen dead?”
“He’s on his last breath, probably not long now.” Xu Yourong answered with confusion.
Luo Sheng could see her question, so he explained his thoughts: “Perfect, let’s take this opportunity to make a big profit. Let’s see if Old Lady Xu is willing to ransom him back.”
“Aren’t you afraid she…”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. Whether we extort them or not, she definitely won’t let us go.”
“Then what?”
“Then we’ll tell the Alliance about her dirty laundry.”
Luo Sheng said rather deviously.
He wouldn’t show rcy to these people. After all, from the ti Luo Sheng condensed his spiritual jade until now, he had clearly understood the four words “human hearts are treacherous”.
When facing enemies, it’s either you die or I live, there’s no coexistence.
Especially in front of those family clans.
For their own interests, they would spare no effort to eliminate all potential enemies.
This was originally a ga where only one of the two could survive.
Xu Yourong nodded, “I support you.”
She was also pleased with Luo Sheng’s growth.
This world was originally cruel, without enough ruthlessness, one would only beco nutrients for others in this world.
Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong whispered, deciding on their next moves.
Luo Sheng wasn’t afraid of the Xu family now.
Because Yuchi Xueyao would stay in Pingcheng for a while, only leaving after confirming that Pingcheng was no longer in danger.
About a month, so, no matter what, he was safe. Moreover, he was now nominally her student.
Even the Xu family wouldn’t dare to go against an obsidian-level powerhouse.
So, Luo Sheng beca bolder.
After City Lord Lei finished his speech, he went down to the floor to toast with everyone. Many guests surrounded him.
Quite a bit of flattery.
But their main purpose was to get City Lord Lei to introduce them to the Alliance’s special envoy.
Who wouldn’t want to et an obsidian-level powerhouse?
Unfortunately, Yuchi Xueyao had no interest in talking to these guys, feeling it was just a waste of her ti.
Yuchi Xueyao was still on the second floor of the banquet, observing casually.
“Hmm, what is that kid planning to do now?”
Yuchi Xueyao watched this scene with interest.
She saw Luo Sheng holding a glass of red wine, unhurriedly approaching an old lady, toasting with her.
The sharp-eyed Yuchi Xueyao noticed that this old lady was the decision-maker of the Xu family in Pingcheng.
“The Xu family… interesting.”
anwhile.
Luo Sheng approached Old Lady Xu with a smile.
Old Lady Xu looked at him strangely, “May I help you?”
Luo Sheng simply showed a gentlemanly smile, “Nothing, I just wanted to et you, Old Lady Xu. After all, your reputation precedes you, and I’ve been eager to et you.”
“If you have sothing to say, say it quickly.” Old Lady Xu didn’t even look at him properly.
Putting on an air of elder superiority.
As if she were a high and mighty ruler.
Luo Sheng wasn’t discouraged, but said softly, “It’s like this, we caught soone colluding with the Evil Card Masters, he claid to be a mber of the Xu family, I think his na was Xu Dongsen.
The Xu family I know isn’t a family that doesn’t understand the big picture, how could they possibly collude with such an evil force?
So, I originally planned to kill him, but unfortunately, he kept insisting, so I had no choice but to co and confirm with you.
Moreover, he said that as long as we help him return to the family, he would give 1,000 card coins. You know, I’ve climbed step by step to where I am now, consuming a lot of resources, so I need so inco. Of course, more importantly, it’s about helping others.”
Luo Sheng finished speaking and took a sip of red wine.
His deanor and actions were very proper.
No one could find any fault.
When Old Lady Xu heard his words, she was shocked and stunned, staring at Luo Sheng in front of her.
She couldn’t imagine that a Card Master who hadn’t even graduated would dare to threaten her!
Old Lady Xu felt the world had turned upside down.
Never had such a nobody dared to threaten her.
Old Lady Xu said word by word, “Aren’t you afraid of ?”
“Why should I be afraid of you? I heard you ordered soone to kill , so no matter what, we’re in a state of hostility, aren’t we?” Luo Sheng looked at her sideways, showing a chilling smile.
The two had reached a deadlock.
But Luo Sheng wanted to make a big profit before watching her downfall.
