Chapter 1297 - 1297: Severe Crisis of Men Clan

After the two clans had finished discussing their cooperation, the people from the Sang Clan left. At the same time, the news about Guan Yong's upcoming wedding with the youngest daughter of the Sang Clan quickly spread. The reason for this news spreading so quickly was to clear up the doubts and criticisms that had previously arisen about the two clans meeting. Those doubts instantly disappeared, and many clans that were watching could feel relieved, especially the people from the Men Clan. They knew that the Men Clan and the two clans, the Guan Clan and the Sang Clan, did not get along.

Although they were relieved to some extent, it was not all. The fact that the two clans were going to have a closer relationship through this marriage was not a good thing for the Men Clan in the future. However, they could not do anything about it because the Men Clan was currently facing a severe crisis.

On the same day, shortly after the news of the wedding spread, several major clans rushed to send people to congratulate the two clans and ask about the wedding schedule of the two youngsters so that they could prepare gifts. But in reality, those major clans did this to test and verify whether it was just a rumor or real news.

At the Dark Crescent Secret Force headquarters, inside Lou-Seng's office...

Phew…!

"Why do I feel so tired? I'd like to have a few days off to calm down."

Zheng-Fu had been in this office for a few days now, but he had not taken a break at all during this time. He had to think and plan many things, and all his plans were about to come to fruition. If nothing went wrong, Zheng-Fu estimated that in five or six days, the Dark Crescent Secret Force and Men Clan would be wiped out from this world.

Knock! Knock!

Someone came to see you, sir, Chief!

Hah?!

'Who's here?'

Zheng-Fu was a little surprised when he heard a subordinate in Lou-Seng's unit inform him that someone had come to see him at such a time. Normally, no one would come to visit or talk to him.

"Let him come in!"

Yes, sir!

Creeeaaak!!!

Hah?!

Flop!

Big Chief!?

"Don't be so formal, I just came to chat with you."

When Zheng-Fu saw who came to see him, he was shocked and was about to salute as a subordinate would, because at this time, he was disguised under Lou-Seng's face. However, the big chief raised his hand and waved it to tell Zheng-Fu not to be so formal, before he walked over to sit on a chair in the middle of the room.

Yes, sir!

"Big Chief, what do you want me to do, sir?"

"No, I didn't come to ask you to do anything. I came to you because I wanted to talk to you seriously, not to Lou-Seng, but to you under his face!"

…………...

Zheng-Fu remained calm as usual and did not show any signs of shock or worry when Big Chief finished speaking. Instead, he pretended to be confused and not understand. Because if he let out a shocked expression, it would be like revealing himself to the other party. Perhaps what the big chief said was just a test.

"What do you mean, sir? If I'm not Lou-Seng, then who could I be?" Zheng-Fu had to continue acting until the situation made him unable to do so.

"Are you really not going to admit it?"

The big chief did not give up. He still believed in his sense that the person in front of him was definitely not Lou-Seng, the Thirteenth-Unit Chief of the force. This man was someone else who had infiltrated. And to find evidence to confirm this matter, he had to do everything to get the best result.

"I have already told you that I'm Lou-Seng. But if you don't believe me, you can check me with the detector!"

Of course, Zheng-Fu was also firm. He had many survival methods, so he certainly would not give up easily because of a few words.

Umm…

In fact, the big chief was just suspicious. He had no clear evidence to prove that this Thirteenth-Unit Chief was not the real Lou-Seng. He came to talk to Lou-Seng, whom he thought was a fake, to find a clue to confirm his thoughts, but… he did not get anything. This Lou-Seng was firm and did not reveal anything unusual.

"Maybe I have been thinking too much. Because I noticed that ever since you came back from the Men Clan's deception mission, you've been acting strange. I apologize." The big chief still wanted to test Lou-Seng one last time before he left. He thought that at least he had to do his best.

"I understand, Big Chief. Our force is in a chaotic period these days. It's natural for you to be worried and suspicious of the people in the force. But I swear that I, Lou-Seng, will never betray the force."

Zheng-Fu already knew that the big chief had no way of catching him for sure. To increase his credibility, he seriously swore. But of course, the person who swore was not him, but Lou-Seng, who had now become a ghost somewhere.

Umm…

"Then that's good. I'll leave Thirteenth Unit and the force to you!"

When the big chief saw that there was no point in staying or saying anything, he left. He did not forget to apologize and put his trust in Lou-Seng before leaving. Because if he did not say anything, it would create dissatisfaction with his subordinate.

Thank you, Big Chief, for trusting me!

Pheeeew!

'Looks like I need to hurry up and take action.'

Zheng-Fu started to feel uneasy. If possible, he wanted to finish the plan that day. If he did not need to borrow the Dark Crescent Secret Force's hand to deal with the Men Clan, he would not have let time drag on like this.

Another day passed...

The dark battle between the two great powers before had now turned into an open war. Both the Men Clan and the Dark Crescent Secret Force were doing their best to deal with the opposite side. The news of the war between the two had created a lot of discussion and attention. In addition, many other powers wanted to intervene in the war.

But before anyone could do anything, the Guan Clan and Sang Clan openly announced an alliance to deal with the Men Clan. They claimed that the Men Clan had dishonestly done something to them first, using the evidence that Zheng-Fu had given them earlier to justify their actions and to prevent anyone from blaming their clans.

In Men Clan's main hall...

Bang!

Damn it!

Fatuous!

"Those Guan Clan and Sang Clan bastards! They must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. You filthy bastards!"

Men Clan Leader was very stressed when he heard the news of the collaboration between the two major clans, Guan Clan and Sang Clan, to avenge the old debt that Men Clan had owed them.

"If things continue like this, our clan will surely collapse. The only way is that we must quickly find allies to help!"

Find allies?!

While the clan leader and many elders were thinking hard and stressed, the Third Elder, who had started it all, came up with his idea. Of course, he had to come up with this idea because his plan did not go as planned. He just wanted to seize power and become the clan leader; he did not want the clan to collapse or disappear.

"Then who would agree to cooperate with us? Right now, our Men Clan is at a huge disadvantage. It would be hard to find someone to help unless the Bei Clan of the Lord Minister would help us!"

That's right!

"If we get the Bei Clan to help, this crisis should be easy to overcome. But… what should we do to make the Bei Clan agree to help us?"

Hmm!

The idea was good, but it would be difficult for anyone to help the Men Clan, whose fate was on the verge of extinction. Unless they could get a share of the benefits from this cake, the other clans would not hesitate and quickly accept the invitation.

Although the hope of finding the allies was slim, they did not give up. Everyone tried to think about which clans they could ask for help from. Men Clan had done many clans great favors before; if they used this excuse to ask for help, those clans or powerful groups had to inevitably lend a hand to Men Clan.

Good!

"Then hurry up and do it. I'll entrust this task to Master Third Elder. The hope of the clan is in your hands. If we can overcome this crisis, I'll give you the position of Clan Leader!"

Hah!!!

Clan Leader!!!

When everyone in the meeting hall heard the clan leader's words, they had different expressions. Some were shocked, some were excited, and some pretended not to care. However, Third Elder Men-Hui was stunned and did not react or show any expression. To him, it was as if everything in this world had stopped.

"What do you say, Master Third Elder? Are you willing to accept this duty?"

Hah!

"Erm… I'm more than willing to do so. However, as for the position of Clan Leader, I think we should discuss it again. Right now, the most important thing is to lead our clan through this crisis and get revenge on those who dared to test our swords and fangs."

When Men-Hui heard the clan leader's repeated question, he returned to his senses and immediately answered. However, he did not agree to the position of Clan Leader, but instead suggested that they should discuss it again later. Because if he accepted it right away, it would reveal his deepest desires in front of everyone. In addition, it would create dissatisfaction among those opposing him.

Umm!

"If that's your opinion, then we'll proceed accordingly. Right now, I only hope that we can get through this terrible situation!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

The atmosphere of stress and pressure spread throughout the Men Clan at that time. Everyone felt uneasy and could not do their normal duties. If the Men Clan lost the war, the consequences would definitely be too much for them to bear. As a major clan with great power, they oppressed and bullied many people everywhere throughout their history. So, whenever the Men Clan lost power in their hands, those people would not hesitate to take revenge on them.
