Chapter 151 - 144 Imprisonment
Although the Sacred Empire was currently at an absolute disadvantage in the presence of the Hua En, cooperating with an organization like the Basa Clan was still not advisable.
This group’s origins were still tied to the bloodline of the Gold Family, and what they called internal strife could turn into betrayal once they gained power. Why bother with such unreliable allies?
Lu Hong bypassed Andrei and pushed the door open to leave the room. He had no idea how many days he had been unconscious, and he wondered what kind of actions Old Man Ke would take upon losing contact with him.
As soon as he stepped out, a group of rough men surrounded him again. The woman who had been driven away at first now stood not far away and sneered coldly at Lu Hong, "The secrets of the Basa Clan must not be exposed, kill him!"
Damn, she was truly a vicious woman. Lu Hong’s expression darkened slightly, his strength had not yet recovered since he had just awoken, and his body was severely depleted of energy. If they were determined to kill him, it would be very easy to do so.
"Stop!" Right as the rough men were about to strike, Andrei finally intervened and stopped them.
"Uncle Andrei!" The woman’s command was blocked by Andrei for the second time, and her expression was filled with displeasure.
"Miss, he has helped us solve a big problem; we shouldn’t treat a benefactor this way, should we?"
"Hmph!" the woman said discontentedly. "Even if he has helped us remove a major threat, if we let him go, wouldn’t the millennia of preparations and the efforts of our clan’s ancestors have been in vain?"
"Seize him!" At Andrei’s command, two rough men immediately rushed out and subdued Lu Hong, showing that Andrei’s words carried more weight than the woman’s.
