Chapter 487: Chapter 15: Bullying to the End

“I wonder which matter you are referring to, brother?”

“Some say you were the one who killed Xiao. They say you hired assassins from the Dark Web because you coveted his position.”

He swallowed the meat and bone together, chewing continuously with a loud CRUNCH CRUNCH.

“Others say you accepted bribes from the Alliance Country, so you plan to just go through the motions with the investigation into Xiao’s death.

“What do you think?”

As the question hung in the air, the room grew instantly silent.

Chen Junhao frowned. “Are you suspecting me, brother?”

Lu Weilong paused his movements and shook his head. “Of course I believe you.”

He tore a leg off the roasted whole cow on the table and took a massive bite. “However, Xiao was a veteran who followed my adoptive father. His death grieves me deeply.

“Making you sign that military pledge at the time was also to prevent the brothers of the White Bone Army from being bitterly disappointed… You need to bear more responsibility for this matter.”

Chen Junhao nodded and casually picked up a golden orange from the table. “Don’t worry, brother. There are still five days left.

“I will definitely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”

“Good.” Lu Weilong nodded in satisfaction and chatted with him for a bit longer.

Finally, as the conversation drew to a close, he casually took a handkerchief handed to him by a trusted soldier and wiped the grease from his mouth. “By the way, I heard that mine of yours was attacked again.”

Chen Junhao paused, seemingly surprised. “You knew about that, brother?”

“Of course. We are brothers, after all. Your business is my business,” Lu Weilong waved his hand and laughed. “But, if you ask me, having to investigate Xiao’s death and send people to guard the mine is stretching you too thin.

“How about this? I’ll send some of my men to help you watch over the place. Once Xiao’s matter is cleared up, you can take it back.

“What do you say?”

As his words fell, the atmosphere turned dead silent.

Lu Weilong wore a smile, his eyes capturing every subtle change in Chen Junhao’s expression. A hint of amusement seemed to flash across his face.

The trusted subordinates behind him also watched quietly, curious to see the third leader’s response.

“Sure.” Under their watchful gazes, Chen Junhao nodded unexpectedly and smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, brother.”

“Hahaha, it’s no trouble at all. We are sworn brothers,” Lu Weilong let out a hearty laugh, then motioned for the other man to continue eating.

Chen Junhao nodded gently. Only after finishing his meal did he turn and walk out of the stone building, revealing not a single hint of abnormality throughout the entire process.

They watched as he and Violent Bear left. The camouflage off-road vehicle kicked up a trail of dust, leaving only its receding taillights in sight.

“Chief, is Chen Junhao hiding something?” Kui Wu asked with a frown as he walked back into the room.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Chief was taking away the mine, simply using a different excuse. This was the lifeblood of any warlord—yet the man had actually swallowed the insult without lashing out?

“He’s nothing but a sick tiger,” Lu Weilong withdrew his gaze, laughing disdainfully. “He really thinks he can call himself a warlord just because he gathered some troops. I simply didn’t have the time to deal with him before.

“No matter what he’s hiding, strength is the biggest difference between us.”

As a Transcendence Level expert, he was absolutely confident in his formidable power. With Xiao Chen dead, no warlord in Mountain City could rival him anymore.

“True, your might is unmatched, Chief. Compared to our Red River Army, the Red Flame Army is nothing but a bunch of clowns,” Kui Wu nodded repeatedly, echoing his sentiments.

During this time, another announcement rang out. It was none other than the fourth leader, Ao’Er—the newly appointed leader of the Rock Mountain Army personally recommended by Xiao Chen—coming to pay his respects.

Hearing this, Lu Weilong’s expression turned mocking. He waved his hand and said, “Tell him I’m tired. Have him wait outside.”

“Yes,” Kui Wu nodded, a smile forming on his face.

Then, just as he was about to head down to carry out the order, Lu Weilong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked out the window of the stone building. “By the way, what are those people from the Alliance Country doing?”

“They’ve been very well-behaved,” Kui Wu stopped in his tracks and reported truthfully. “Everyone is staying in their building and hasn’t gone anywhere. Do you think…”

“It doesn’t matter.” A hint of coldness appeared on Lu Weilong’s face. His tone turned chilling as he bared his white teeth. “Since that Chen kid wants to stall for time, let him stall.

“There are still five days left… When the time comes, I’ll make him pay back every bit of his arrogance and insolence from these past few days.”

Kui Wu’s expression trembled upon hearing this, and he nodded hastily.

“What’s more…” Lu Weilong patted the other man’s shoulder, flashing a wicked smile. “I remember the negotiation team has a female assistant, right? She’s quite a beauty.

“When the time comes, let the brothers have some fun with her.”
