The City Lord's face was an ugly shade but he forced himself to smile as he sent Luo Xi out the door. Luo Xi had just stepped out when the City Lord could not help but curse.
"What kind of bullsh * t is this? Do you really think that just because you are close to the revered one, you can use a chicken feather as a token of authority? Don't you know what you are! If not for the revered one backing you up from behind, I have plenty of ways to kill you! “
"There is no need for the City Lord to be so angry. That Luo Xi is just a dog by the revered one's side and the City Lord is just giving the revered one face by letting him off." A servant at the side quickly came forward to placate the City Lord.
"Hmph! I cannot be bothered to get angry with such a hypocrite. " The City Lord said through gritted teeth. "Ignore that scoundrel Luo Xi, but the revered one's orders must not be neglected. That area in the city's north cannot be left unattended or it will be hard to answer to the revered one."
The City Lord's eyes turned and he waved his hand at the servant at the side. "You said earlier that the manors in the city's north have been built into seven storey lofts?"
"That's right! Your servant had even sneaked in to take a look and it was rather novel. The things inside are not too bad and the layout is rather reasonable, making it a little more unique than the previous manors. I had heard that quite a number of people in the city were asking about the origins of those lofts and it looks like it would attract quite a bit of attention. "
The City Lord said as he rubbed at his chin, his mind beginning to spin. The lofts were not cheap and it would be rather painful for him to send people to build them up. But if he could gain something for nothing, then the effect would be completely different.
"Since that youth in the city's north had foiled the revered one's plans, then as the Lord of the Clear Breeze City, I will naturally not sit back and do nothing. Helping the revered one to resolve his worries is what I should be doing." The City Lord said with a sinister smile on his face as he hooked his finger at the servant.
"Bring some men to teach that wild kid in the city's north a good lesson. Let him know that as long as he remains in the Clear Breeze City, he will have to behave himself." The City Lord said sinisterly.
"Alright!"
"Oh right, be careful when you make your move. Don't destroy those lofts. That place is not meant for refugees to stay in." The City Lord said with a smile.
"My Lord, rest assured. Your servant will definitely carry out the task you have entrusted to him!" Upon saying that, the servant left the City Lord's Manor.
After asking around, the City Lord patted his fat belly and hummed a tune as he returned to his room.
In a loft in the north of the city, Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao were sitting in a room drinking tea when Ye Sha appeared silently and knelt before the two of them.
"Reporting to Young Miss, after Luo Xi left today, he went to the City Lord's Manor and stayed there for a while before he left." Ye Sha had been following Jun Wu Xie's instructions all this while, keeping a close eye on the City Lord's Manor and Luo Xi's movements. When he discovered that the two of them were in contact, he had immediately come back to report to Jun Wu Xie.
"Oh?" Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow.
"Young Miss, do you need your subordinate to capture them and bring them here?" Ye Sha asked.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head and said, "No need, they will deliver themselves to me."
Ye Sha did not understand it but Jun Xie's voice had barely fallen when Ye Mei walked into the room.
"Young Miss, there's a group of people coming down."
Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes and her eyes flashed with understanding.
"The rats are beginning to stir."
Among the lofts in the north of the city, a group of tall and burly men suddenly appeared. They were well built, their faces fierce and ferocious, looking like they were not to be trifled with. The refugees who had just moved into the lofts not too long ago showed fear on their faces when they saw the burly men.
