Within the City Lord’s residence
“Froo under the nahed as he rubbed his bald head
Then, he stood up vigorously and said, “The Origin Bureau’s Liu Wuya colluded with the ten Bloodline nobility Clans, turning a perfectly good Origin Bureau into a lawless place Now that Su Chen has killed Liu Wuya and cleaned the place up, the Origin Bureau belongs to us now He took care of that matter brilliantly”
The scholar behind An Siyuan spoke “City Lord is right Su Chen took care of that matter brilliantly However, this whole ordeal isn’t over quite yet”
“Me Executor, Su Chen is currently the acting coin Bureau This is fine for the short-ter run As such, we still need to quickly get hi, you’re absolutely right I will infor Su Chen”
“Now that he’s offended the Long Clan, they definitely won’t let hi Clan once, but he can’t do it forever, and he definitely won’t be able to wipe the alone”
An Siyuan nodded “I know He only said that the Origin Bureau will go under the na contribution and also demonstrated that he was firmly on my side If I don’t help hiive hiiments of Blood-Robed Guards”
“Yes!”
Blood-Robed Guards were a group of elite guards that An Siyuan had trained hih-layer Qi Drawing Real Reale, their teamas impeccable, and they had special skills and medicines that could activate their hidden potential If they used these all at once, ten Blood-Robed Guards could fight a Yang Opening Realuards
An Siyuan giving Su Chen two regiments of Blood-Robed Guards was a clear demonstration of how much importance he placed on Su Chen He wanted to protect Su Chen completely At the sain Bureau; this would take care of two birds with one stone
“Also, the funds previously docked froin Bureau can be returned,” An Siyuan said
As the City Lord, An Siyuan had a considerable amount of authority, even over finances
Because the forned with An Siyuan, An Siyuan had docked funds froin Bureau had been completely funded by the ten Great Bloodline nobility Clans Even though this put Liu Wuya in a hard position, it in Bureau weren’t willing to listen to An Siyuan’s orders – if you weren’t helping them put food on the table, why should they listen to you?
Now that Su Chen had forcefully taken control of the Origin Bureau, An Siyuan immediately released those funds They would be a help to Su Chen personally, and they could also help sway public opinion After all, relying on force to control the Origin Bureau would only last for a ti-term control required conciliatory tactics
Of course, they wouldn’t be able to share in the benefits given by the ten Great Bloodline nobility Clans anymore
“Finally, let Officer Zhu know that ill have a feast toratulate Su Chen!”
“Yes, City Lord!”

Long Shaoyou lay on the bed, unconscious, his face tainted with black Qi Most frightening of all, that black Qi gathered on Long Shaoyou’s face and would sometimes even assume different forms Sometimes, it was a vicious monster, while other times it took the foring a play on his body that could only be seen, not touched
He had been like this ever since he had been rescued out froht of, he had no way of purging the strange black Qi froained consciousness
The doctor beside him took a look and shook his head “I can only blame my incapability I have never seen this kind of illness before”
“Doctor Jiang, you’re the best doctor in all of Clear River City Please, think of so said anxiously
