Chapter 724: Knocking_1
Stone Sword Edge had previously followed Su Chengyu without considering any costs, because there was something to gain. However, now that Su Chengyu had killed Xu Jianglong and was wanted by Dragon Soul Department, the situation was severe, and it seemed as if his future was ruined.
In Stone Sword Edge’s eyes, Su Chengyu offending the number one eastern family, the Lee family, was not a big deal. Even though these large families were strong, they couldn’t completely control everything. As long as they stayed out of their sphere of influence, they would be safe. Once they had official status, it was like having an amulet; their enemies wouldn’t dare kill them rashly.
But now, they had offended the Dragon Soul Department, the nature of the situation was entirely different.
"Xu Jianglong was not killed by me. If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn’t have let anyone catch me." Su Chengyu stated.
"Whether you killed him or not isn’t important anymore, right? The Grand Minister said you killed him, so you must have. You are now already on the red list of the Dragon Soul Arrest Warrant. There is hardly a shelter for you. However, luckily Su Cheng is a false identity. The Dragon Soul Department has yet to trace it back to you so you are still safe. I will definitely keep my mouth shut, not a single word will leak out. Please rest assured."
Although Stone Sword Edge’s loyalty to Su Chengyu was shaken, he had not yet made up his mind whether to betray Su Chengyu’s secret for benefits. Therefore, in front of Su Chengyu, he dared not show the slightest wavering.
Otherwise, if Su Chengyu wanted to silence him, there was no way he could leave the Su Mansion alive.
"Let’s put it this way, I’m very clear about who you are. Betraying me might get you benefits and a reward, and you might be able to improve your position a bit, but that’s all. It would not bring you any significant benefits."
Su Chengyu called Stone Sword Edge over because he wanted to threaten him a bit, discouraging him from thinking of betrayal.
