Chapter 521: The Chief Medic Xiao YuYu (2/2)
The meeting between the Sect and Sanders didn't last too long, ending with Xiao Yuyu recommending everyone to spend more time preparing for the war against the Zergs.
Everyone at the meeting pretended that they didn't catch what Xiao Yuyu was alluding tom simply smiling at the chief medic as if she had just given them a pat on the back.
After the meeting, Xiao Yuyu was engrossed in reflections about what had happened at the meeting. These men were shrewd politicians and avid negotiators. Every time she tried to bring up the war with the Zergs, someone would sidetrack the conversation.
”Vorenus, what do you think about the meeting?”
”Chief, I think the Jade city is corrupt through and through. You are wasting your time with them. Just carry out young master's order and be done with it.”
Xiao Yuyu nodded; however, it would be easier said than done, since not only Sanders was a level seventeen warrior, he also had many powerful fighters under his command. In addition, the district needed a powerful leader, and the citizens' lives would fall into disarray without him.
That being said, Sanders had crossed the line that he knew he shouldn't have. Should every other city act like the Jade City would, Mars would soon fall into chaos and crumble under the Zergs' attack.
Meanwhile, Sanders had gathered all of his trusted advisers in his private meeting room.
”My Lord, we are not yet sure who the murderer is. But, we are certain he or she is hiding in the city.”
”Ok, we will talk about that later. What about Xiao Yuyu? When does she want to leave the city?” Sanders asked with a cigar in his mouth.
”My lord, I believe she is here to make sure everything is running normally. We will send out our men right away to make some noise out there and put on a show for her. I believe she will leave us alone. If she really wants to stay here, we might as well marry her to some lucky b*stard in the city, making sure that she will never leave.”
”Haha… That's true! But, we can't let our guard down. She has brought some of her best casters with her.”
”Roger that.”
Sanders smiled. He never thought that he would remain under the service of the Divine Mastery Sect. He had risked his life and taken over the Jade City from the jaws of the Zergs, and he wouldn't hand it over to the Sect so easily.
…
Wang Tong was slightly amused by the transformation of the Divine Mastery Sect. He wagered that Michaux was not having the greatest time of his life, since all he had wanted to follow the divine way, and not bear the worldly burden.
”Ye Zi, you can go inside and meet chief, but your servants will have to wait outside,” Vorenus told Ye Zi with a smile.
”They are my friends, not servants, and he is the one who wanted to talk to chief in the first place.” Ye Zi explained.
Vorenus nodded. ”Fine, you can enter with this gentleman. But, the other two will have to wait outside.”
”Boss, don't worry about us. We can spar with this guard for fun.” Tan Bu announced with a broad smile. Compared to their hosts in the Jade City, the two young soldiers liked Xiao Yuyu and her crew much better.
Vorenus was a warrior in his forties. He was friendly and down to earth. He was also intrigued by the eagerness and enthusiasm of the two young soldiers.
