Chapter 1866: Chapter 1869: Unhurried and Unrushed

As the second batch of vanguard troops entered Sword Island, Liu Fang’s previously anxious heart finally steadied, and his smile became increasingly confident, devoid of the cautiousness of a spy, as if he were the boss.

For three more days of arrogance, and on the day the second batch of a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry entered Sword Island, he was summoned by the town’s highest leader, also the one with the highest combat power.

This was the tallest building in the town, of course, where the highest combat power, Hong Hu, resided.

After entering the building, Liu Fang’s gaze roamed around the place that resembled a bandit’s lair, ignoring the many Nascent Souls who glared angrily at him from both sides.

He knew these people very well, as he had been drinking with this group of fellows almost every day recently, practically wine and meat friends.

So, when he saw these friends express anger towards him today, he roughly guessed where things were going.

Therefore, he wasn’t worried at all!

"Liu Fang, do you have anything to say?"

Sitting in the main seat like a formidable presence, Hong Hu looked at Liu Fang with cold eyes, from a position of superiority!

"Greetings, Hong Hu King, little Liu Fang does not understand what the King means by this?"

Liu Fang asked, bowing with neither humility nor arrogance: "Could it be that there was an error in my accounting?!"

"Liu Fang! Are you still being stubborn at this point?!"

A Nascent Soul jumped out and yelled angrily at Liu Fang.

"Li Zhang! What do you mean by this? Did I, Liu Fang, do anything wrong?!" Liu Fang’s expression darkened as he stared angrily at this Nascent Soul who jumped out, his voice louder than Li Zhang’s!

This Li Zhang is Hong Hu’s true confidant, so Liu Fang did not invite him to join in the improved embezzlement methods.

It’s known that whether someone is a confidant or embezzles are two separate matters; in fact, confidants who embezzle are generally more ruthless, except he doesn’t need to do it personally.

Among those initially disposed of by Hong Hu as pledges, there were Li Zhang’s money-making tools.

Therefore, to Li Zhang, Liu Fang was not the God of Wealth, but the culprit who cut off his financial path.

Disrupting someone’s financial path is akin to killing their parents.

Li Zhang’s hatred for Liu Fang was evident!

Li Zhang was at a loss for words due to Liu Fang’s righteous confidence, momentarily unsure of what to say!

In his worldview, he never imagined someone who was caught with evidence could be more righteously confident than he was!

But then, he felt somewhat embarrassed and angry, so he immediately clasped his hands towards Hong Hu: "Hong Hu King, this Liu Fang is really suspicious and must be immediately dealt with! To serve as a warning!"

Hong Hu seemed unconvinced by Li Zhang’s words, not directly agreeing, but furrowing his brow and staring at Liu Fang: "Do you really have nothing to say?!"

"No!" Liu Fang shook his head: "If the King thinks Liu Fang has done wrong, then dispose of Liu Fang, but now being accused without head or tail, Liu Fang would like to ask the King to take charge, Li Zhang even insults me, speaking lies!"

Li Zhang was trembling with anger upon hearing this!

Too shameless!

He had never seen such a shameless person!

Thus, he was thoroughly enraged, turned around and yelled at Liu Fang furiously: "Liu Fang, our people have already explored those places you mentioned! Not a single word of your background is true! Infiltrating the town with ulterior motives, and taking advantage of the King’s trust to inspect the accounts, tell us, who are you, and what is your intent!"

After saying these words, Li Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief!

This is considered irrefutable evidence, presumably at this moment Liu Fang would be embarrassed and angry, or even terrified!

Not only Li Zhang thought so, but the remaining Nascent Souls also thought so.

In fact, their hatred for Liu Fang was even greater than Li Zhang’s!

After all, in the past few days of interaction, Liu Fang had grasped a lot of evidence of their embezzlement!

Although it is said that the law does not punish the masses, and even if Hong Hu knows, he wouldn’t punish them on a large scale, it’s still embarrassing!

Hong Hu also looked at Liu Fang.

He still appreciated this Liu Fang!

He even thought that if Liu Fang had no problems, he was ready to employ this Liu Fang heavily.

However, there actually was an issue, and a big one at that!

Let alone whether the background had problems, it fundamentally seemed like this person didn’t exist!

How could he dare to trust Liu Fang?!

So, he genuinely wanted to see what Liu Fang had to say!

After listening to Li Zhang’s words, Liu Fang did not show the panic-stricken expression Li Zhang anticipated, nor did he appear embarrassed and angry, instead, he was incredibly calm.

In the end, he even displayed a mocking expression.

This expression stunned everyone present—what kind of reaction is this?!

Liu Fang slowly began to speak, looking calmly at King Hong Hu: "King, you must have some insight into what kind of person I, Liu Fang, am!"

Despite hesitating, Hong Hu eventually nodded!

"Good, then nothing else, I, Liu Fang, consider myself a smart person, which is not exaggerated!" Liu Fang continued.

This time Hong Hu didn’t hesitate and nodded directly.

There’s no doubt about being a smart person!

Li Zhang suddenly felt like there was a thorn in his back, so he shouted sharply: "Liu Fang, stop beating around the bush, explain why your background is entirely false?!"

Liu Fang ignored Li Zhang and continued to speak slowly: "Then I’m puzzled, King. As a smart person, if I really wanted to fake a background, why would there be not a single word matching up?!"

"Wouldn’t it be better to mix truth with lies? Isn’t it easier to gain trust that way?!"

"Besides, Li Zhang keeps saying I’m here for the accounts! This point is the most ridiculous!"

"I ask the King, with those accounts that I saw, are they really difficult for someone to obtain? Presumably, if someone wants to see them, there’s no need to steal them, right? Anyone can casually take them and look, right?!"

Liu Fang’s moderately delivered words came out.

However, these words exploded inside the building like a thunderclap!

Suddenly, everyone was looking at each other, even Hong Hu had a stunned expression!

Now they all had one thought in their minds!

Damn, Liu Fang’s right!

Let alone a clever monkey-like Liu Fang, even if they wanted to infiltrate a place and fabricate a background, they would mix truth and lies, how could there be not a single word matching up?!

And those accounts!

As Liu Fang said, they’re ordinary mineral transaction records, no one would care, anyone can look at them!

If Liu Fang came for these, they felt either Liu Fang was a fool or they were the fools!

But neither they nor Liu Fang are fools, so their eyes turned towards the red-faced Li Zhang!

Li Zhang instantly felt like his blood vessels were about to burst!
