The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 155

Lu Wuji was a little surprised to see Zhou Kai appear with an incredible bloodlust. “Deputy Director Zhou, what brings you here?”    

Zhou Kai was eager to slap Lu Wuji to death right now. He didn't even look at her as he roared, “All of you, drop your weapons and kneel down. Otherwise, you will be treated as a traitor of the Dragon Tooth Guard!”    

As one of the four directors of the Dragonteeth Guard, Zhou Kai was the first deputy director, but he usually only handled financial matters and rarely asked about the affairs of the Dragonteeth Guard. As a result, he did not have too much influence in the Dragonteeth Guard.    

Therefore, when this order was given, the team on Lu Wuji's side all looked at each other in shame before they all looked at Lu Wuji unanimously.    

Who would have thought that this attitude would actually pierce Zhou Kai's pride as the elder of the Dragon Tooth Guard. He was Bodyguard number two, but no one moved to carry out the orders he gave.    

It seemed like the tiger had been asleep for so long that even this group of Dragon Tooth Guardians did not give him the respect he deserved, and instead treated him like a paper tiger!    

Lu Wuji's face was greatly shocked as the vice director approached, "Vice Director Zhou, what happened until you were so excited?"    

Lu Wuji had been here all along toying with Jiang Chen and the others, and had not left the Black Underground Room for half a day. How did he know what was happening in the outside world?    

Moreover, although the Southern Palace, Myriad Treasure Palace, and Qingyang Valley were furious, they only used their connections personally and did not publicize their actions widely. Therefore, Lu Wuji had not received any news at all about this.    

Lu Wuji better not ask. His actions became the biggest offense in Zhou Kai's eyes.    

“Dragontooth Coat is here. Those who do not kneel will be executed without exception!”    

Zhou Kai had brought the true elites of the Dragon Tooth Guard this time, and they were much stronger and more important than Lu Wuji's army.    

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Dragontooth emblem, and Lu Wuji was instantly frightened. A clanking sound rang out from behind as Lu Wuji's team threw their armor and weapons and crouched on the ground.    

Looking at the Dragontooth emblem was like seeing the director general coming in on his own.    

Inside the Dragonteeth Guard, the general director was the highest! The general director holds the lives of everyone in the Guard in his hands.    

The Dragontooth emblem was a totem of the Dragonteeth Guard. It was as if an ordinary human had seen a god or Buddha. Their first thought was to give up, and their second thought was to give up!    

“Lu Wuji, how dare you refuse to kneel when you see the Dragon Tooth emblem? Do you really want to rebel?”    

Zhou Kai turned around and shouted loudly. The sound of a sword being drawn sounded after him.    

Lu Wuji was completely dumbfounded, but the remaining reason and logic caused him to involuntarily bend both legs and kneel down.    

Handing over the Dragon Tooth emblem was the first rule that almost every Dragon Tooth Guard had to learn before entering the Guard.    

“Who is Tian Shao?” Zhou Kai asked.    

Tian Shao stood up from behind. “Your subordinate Tian Shao greeted Vice Director Zhou.”    

Zhou Kai was quite grateful and nodded in agreement. “Tian Shao, the general director is already aware of the matter here. Good enough, good enough that you can stay true to yourself and not succumb to evil winds and harmful influences.”    

Tian Shao was at first completely confused and did not understand what was going on. He finally understood when he heard Zhou Kai's words and felt that this matter had troubled the general director.    

Vice Director Zhou had prepared to kill because he wanted to bring order to chaos! He was here to provide backup for Jiang Chen and prevent Lu Wuji from imposing a wrong policy!    

Tian Shao's heart was bitterly sweet upon hearing Zhou Kai's praise. He felt the humiliation he had suffered just now was not in vain.    

“Deputy Director Zhou, your subordinates are incompetent. I can only solve the problem according to my task. If not for your timely arrival, the consequences would have been dire without a second thought!”    

Zhou Kai nodded, “Go, open the door. I want to personally apologize to Jiang Chen's younger brother.    

Lu Wuji's heart and his minions grew cold upon hearing these words. Zhou Kai called Jiang Chen as his younger brother. What the hell does this mean?    

This meant that the wind had changed and the general director wanted to protect Jiang Chen personally!    

No matter how powerful Lu Wuji was and as strong as his backers, could they be stronger than the general director?    

“Jiang Chen, we have made you suffer. Any apology is nothing but nonsense. I only have one – promise that our Dragon Tooth Guard will give you a satisfactory explanation.”    

To be honest, Jiang Chen had actually not suffered at all.    

“Deputy Director Zhou, all kinds of birds can be found when the forest covers a wide expanse. The Dragonteeth Guard controlled an army of millions so it was inevitable that some bad apples would appear. Since Commander Tian Shao tried his best to mediate, I actually did not suffer too much in this matter.”    

Zhou Kai was surprised. He thought the young man was unreasonable and made a fuss after enduring such suffering. Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would easily ignore this matter with a smile?    

Zhou Kai's impression of Jiang Chen immediately increased to an extremely high level in an instant.    

“You were right, Tian Shao did not throw away the moral integrity of a soldier. I admire him enough. Big brother Jiang, if you don't mind, may we talk a little?”    

Jiang Chen waved his hand slightly, “Elder Zhou, I want to ask General Lu some questions first.”    

Zhou Kai nodded. His relationship with Lu Wuji's supporter, Vice Director Yang, was initially mediocre. He naturally would not mind if Jiang Chen wanted to do so.    

If they could seize this opportunity to make this matter into a bigger issue and suppress Vice Director Yang's arrogance, Zhou Kai would also be pleased with this result.    

Lu Wuji was silent. History is written by the winners. He was now kneeling on the floor, and a thousand, even ten thousand words were all mere nonsense.    

Gritting his teeth with hatred from the bottom of his heart, his mind was also in turmoil. He also did not understand what was going on. Isn't Jiang Chen a stranger? He had fame in the Eastern Kingdom, but what did that little fame mean in the Skylaurel Kingdom?    

Why would such a small matter bother the Director General?    

Jiang Chen was just an ant from the Eastern Kingdom. Other than the king, who else deserves a personal question from the priceless director general?    

“Fourth prince?” This idea flashed through Lu Wuji's mind, but he immediately denied it. “The fourth prince is the second or third prince among all princes. He wasn't even healthy to bring the first prince's shoes. He should be in a hurry to approach the general director, how could he influence the general director's decision?”    

Lu Wuji discussed it hundreds of times but still could not find the answer.    

"You want to kill me. I can understand that you have taken advantage of the Northern Palace or received their threat. But, what mistakes did my subordinates make? You said you would sell it to the slave market after killing me? Are you Dragon Tooth Guard or Robber?”    

“Tian Shao, he is your partner, but you keep thinking about his wife and daughter. I'd like to ask, are you a human or a human-skinned animal?”    

Tian Shao also clenched his hands when he heard these words and boundless hatred shot out from his tiger eyes.    

“You said that nothing in heaven or earth could save me, and said that there was no way I could get out alive now that I entered the Black Underground Room. I can leave right now, but you must continue kneeling here like a dog. You say heaven is number two, earth is number three, and you are the boss here. Then I want to ask, what is your rating now?”    

Lu Wuji was suddenly banished to hell from heaven, and then continuously ridiculed by Jiang Chen. The humiliation in his heart exploded all of a sudden.    

“Jiang Chen, you village clown, you beast! What are you so proud of? This issue is not finished!”    

Zhou Kai said, “Lu Wuji, you disrespected the law and abused your power. No one will save you this time, even if you have the biggest backer.”    

Lu Wuji started laughing out loud. “Vice Director Zhou, don't scare me. There are still two possibilities how this case will be decided.”    

“Two possibilities? You are too naive! Witnesses in this case are protected by the Director-General's men. Coupled with eyewitnesses from the scene, and the outcome of the case is quite clear.”    

"Certainly? In the worst case, this is considered a mistake in handling a case. What can you do to me? Mishandling of a case is most often considered to be negligence of duty. This kind of crime can be heavy or light. The light punishment was to lower me, and the heavy penalty was to fire me.”    

Zhou Kai was at a loss for words. If any other general did this and did this great disaster, they would probably lose their lives.    

However, Lu Wuji greatly underestimated the law and its consequences because he had supporters.    

With the existence of the mighty Vice Director Yang there, it was highly likely that in the end he would only be charged with the crime of negligence of duty and be lightly acquitted.    

This kid will definitely return to the position of deputy general after a while.    

In any case, Vice Director Yang holds the authority of certain appointments and dismissals. This power was something that not even the first directory, Zhou Kai, had.    

Jiang Chen was somewhat uninterested in how the Dragon Tooth Guard would handle Lu Wuji.    

Instead, he was more interested in how much he could earn from this matter.    

To be honest, Lu Wuji was a pawn. There would be others to replace him if a small character like this died. Their numbers would not decrease even if one were to be killed, and would not increase if he stayed.    

Jiang Chen had hundreds of ways to kill a small character like this.    

After seeing Zhou Kai remain silent, Jiang Chen was a smart person and knew that even though Zhou Kai's position was high, it was likely that he was also unable to make up his mind.    

He reached out his hand, “Older Zhou, I do not wish to investigate your Dragon Tooth Guard personal affairs. However, I will not pretend nothing happened after this problem.”    

Zhou Kai smiled sadly. This young man didn't show off his light, but that didn't mean he didn't have it. He didn't make it difficult, Zhou Kai, because he had good parenting and self-control.    

However, this problem does not mean that it will be solved just like that.    

“Tian Shao, the safety of Jiang Chen's younger brother in the capital will temporarily be handled by you. Remember, our Dragon Tooth Guard is the first to be guilty in this matter. You should serve little brother Jiang Chen well.    

“Your staff understand.” Tian Shao received his order.    

Zhou Kai had no other choice. He could not promise Jiang Chen anything. In any case, it is up to the general director how this matter is handled.    

What he could do was humble himself as much as possible and give a better impression to Jiang Chen.    

Lu Wuji was stunned to see Jiang Chen leave like this, He did not leave behind a single harsh word or lodge a loud protest to angrily demand that he, Lu Wuji, be punished.    

He could hardly believe his eyes. Jiang Chen left like this?    

So it turns out that this kid is just a weakling who talks a lot? He knew that he was unable to anger me, Lu Wuji, and did not even have the courage to proceed any further? Ha ha! A village clown who has never seen the world is just a clown that means nothing!    

Although Lu Wuji was kneeling on the ground, there was no more pressure in his heart. Since Jiang Chen had not addressed the matter, this meant that the Dragon Tooth Guards increasingly had no reason to continue!
