Under the moonlight, the night concealed the sounds in the Heavenly Pavilion. Lu An and Liu Shou did not touch the delicacies in front of them, nor did they drink any wine. They were just talking.
Liu Shou was obviously startled when he heard this and asked in confusion, "Brother Lu has a grudge with him?"
"That's right." Lu An nodded. Since he wanted to cooperate with Liu Shou, there was no need to hide too many things. He said directly, "Liao Xiong is from the Myriad Light Sect, one of the fifteen sects and sixteen clans. He is the son of one of the five core figures of the Myriad Light Sect."
Liu Shou took a deep breath when he heard this and his eyes widened! It was not that he did not guess that Liao Xiong was from a sect. After all, the royal family was surnamed Gao and there was no such person. However, he really did not expect Liao Xiong's identity to be so high!
Although Liu Shou had never been in contact with a sect, he knew how strong a sect was. An empire was just a joke in front of a sect, let alone an ordinary Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. However, he did not understand. Lu An clearly knew that Liao Xiong's status was so high. Why did he still want to be his enemy?
At this moment, Liu Shou suddenly realized something and immediately asked, "Is the Montenegrin Empire now controlled by the Myriad Light Sect?"
"It is jointly controlled by four sects, and the Myriad Light Sect is one of them." Lu An said truthfully.
Liu Shou took a deep breath and looked at Lu An and asked, "Brother Lu has a grudge with Liao Xiong?"
"No." Lu An's voice was slightly low as he said, "I have a grudge with the Myriad Light Sect."
"…"
Hatred was mutual. Liu Shou looked at Lu An and finally knew why Lu An came to him so carefully. If it was only the threat of the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce, Lu An would not be so careful. He did not expect it to be related to a sect!
"How did Brother Lu provoke the Myriad Light Sect?" Liu Shou was a little confused. Even the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce did not have a chance to contact the Myriad Light Sect. How did Lu An make such a big grudge?
"It's a long story." Lu An did not explain. He shook his head and said, "In fact, the second thing is the real purpose of my visit. I want to capture Liao Xiong without leaving any evidence and let them know that I did it. I don't know if Brother Liu has any good ideas … are you willing to help me?"
Liu Shou suddenly became silent.
At this point, Liu Shou already completely understood Lu An's goal, as well as the pros and cons of this matter. To put it simply, Lu An wanted to capture someone, but did not want to be discovered. But what did this have to do with Heavenly Treasures Chamber of Commerce?
Liu Shou looked at Lu An and asked, "What benefits can I get?"
"Brother Liu, please name your price," Lu An said seriously. "As long as you can help me complete this task, I will try my best not to talk back."
Looking at Lu An's expression, Liu Shou's expression turned even more solemn. He could tell that Lu An was not spouting nonsense, but was truly confident. He didn't know where Lu An had gone and what he had done in the past two years, but at least he knew the relationship between Lu An and Liu Yi. With a businesswoman like Liu Yi, he could accumulate a lot of wealth wherever he went.
"Let me think about it." Liu Shou took a deep breath and frowned.
Lu An nodded and did not say anything else. Facing an intelligent person like Liu Shou, no amount of time would be of any use. The other party would not be swayed by other people's words, and could only wait.
Liu Shou finally picked up his chopsticks, aimlessly picking up delicacies and placing them into his mouth, but he could not taste anything. He was completely repeating his actions. Lu An was also not idle, similarly picking up his chopsticks to eat.
Liu Shou remained silent for nearly half an hour without speaking. The sky was close to daybreak, the night was only left with a little time.
In the last half an hour of the night, Liu Shou suddenly stopped picking up food, his entire body was frozen.
Lu An turned to look at Liu Shou, only to see both of them put down their chopsticks.
"I have a plan." Liu Shou looked at Lu An, took a deep breath and said seriously. "I can simultaneously let you capture someone, rescue someone, and at the same time frame this matter to Guang Yu Trade Association, and help me tide over this crisis!"
Lu An was taken aback, looking at Liu Shou in astonishment! If there was such a method to kill two birds with one stone, it would naturally be the best!
"What's the plan?" Lu An asked.
Liu Shou lowered his voice and quickly explained his plan. After Lu An heard it, his eyes became more and more solemn, and in the end, he became very silent.
The plan was possible, and once it succeeded, it could indeed achieve three goals at the same time. However, the risk was also very high, and the slightest carelessness would lead to failure, and failure would basically mean death.
"Brother Lu, what do you think?" Liu Shou said in a deep voice. "If Lu An is willing, I don't want any of your belongings!"
That's right, what Liu Shou did not say was that Guang Yu Trade Association did not intend to let Tianbao Chamber of Commerce continue to exist. Guang Yu Trade Association had already become so big, and they had long planned to completely monopolize the resources of the entire Montenegrin Empire. Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was the last Chamber of Commerce that could compete with them, and also a thorn in their side. Guang Yu had long wanted to destroy Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. If Guang Yu really had such a relationship with Myriad Light Sect, it was only a matter of time.
Therefore, instead of letting Guang Yu destroy him, it was better for him to kill with a borrowed knife, and destroy Guang Yu's family!
Lu An thought for a moment, and finally nodded before dawn and said, "Alright, let's do it!"
Seeing that Lu An agreed, Liu Shou also smiled. He did not know what this operation meant to Lu An, but for Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, it was definitely a gamble of fate. Once it failed, Lu An still had a chance to escape. However, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was here, and there was no escape at all, only destruction.
"In that case, Brother Lu, please wait for the news." Liu Shou raised his wine glass and said seriously, "This glass of wine is for our success!"
Lu An also raised his wine glass and said, "Alright!"
Then, the two of them drank and disappeared from the Heavenly Word Pavilion.

At noon that day, in the Montenegrin Empire's Imperial Capital, in the dungeon.
This dungeon was built by Level Eight metal-attribute and Earth-attribute Heavenly Masters together, and it was used to imprison Level Seven Heavenly Masters. The difference in strength made it impossible for Level Seven Heavenly Masters to escape. Not only that, the metal and ground of the dungeon had a suppressive force, which suppressed the strength of the people locked in the cells. They could not even use their Heavenly Origin Energy, and were no different from ordinary people.
The descendants of Prince Shuo, the Chu family, and Shao Ling Ouyang were all locked up here. At this moment, they were even worse than ordinary prisoners. There were only one person in each cell, but they could see each other. At this moment, every man's clothes were ragged, and his clothes were covered in dried blood. The women were even worse. Everyone's clothes had been taken away, and their hair was disheveled. They were in a sorry state.
The descendants of the two Chambers of Commerce were all locked up in the same cell. After being tortured for more than two months, their minds were on the verge of collapse, and they were in a trance. The First Young Master of the Prince Shuo Chamber of Commerce, Chu Shanhe, was separated from his wife. What was even more hateful was that his wife was so weak, and she was being humiliated in front of him. The Second Young Mistress of the Prince Shuo Chamber of Commerce, Chu Yun, also did not escape such a tragic fate. They were beaten to the point where they could not even muster up any strength to resist. They could not even commit suicide.
The three children of the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce were the same. Ouyang Yi, who was always proud of himself, was beaten the worst. He was lying on the ground, unable to move, and could not even sit up. His two sisters were also humiliated. They were too weak to resist, and were in a state where they could neither live nor die. They were in complete despair.
The sunlight at noon could not shine into the dark dungeon. The dungeon was quiet, and everyone's eyes were empty. They were motionless.
At this moment, an ear-piercing sound was heard.
"Squeak … la …"
When this sound appeared, everyone's eyes lit up. However, it was not the light of hope, but the light of fear.
Every time this sound was heard, it meant that someone was about to be tortured, or a woman was about to be humiliated. For the past two months, the sound they were most afraid of was the sound of the door opening. Immediately, everyone struggled to get up, wanting to retreat to the corner.
However, when they saw the person who came in, a trace of doubt appeared in their eyes.
It was not someone from the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce, nor was it the guard of the dungeon. It was … Liu Shou.
This was the first time they had seen Liu Shou since they had been locked up here. A trace of confusion appeared in their eyes, but they instinctively retreated out of fear. They had no idea what Liu Shou was here for, but it was most likely that he was here to add insult to injury.
Everyone kept curling up in the corner. Liu Shou, who was standing at the entrance of the dungeon, could not help but frown when he saw the miserable state these people were in.
A few months ago, these people were still drinking and chatting with him. He did not expect them to become like this in the blink of an eye. Compared to these people, the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce was indeed lucky.
Liu Shou turned his head and said something to the Heavenly Master who was guarding the dungeon. He took out some money and handed it to the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master nodded and turned to leave, closing the door with a bang.
In the dungeon, only Liu Shou and a group of prisoners were left.
Liu Shou took a deep breath and walked down step by step …
