Chapter 152 - 145: Humiliation
Within less than a day, Andre came before Lu Hong again.
"Little brother, if you agree to become a member of the Bassa family, I can request the elders to release you." Andre earnestly tried to persuade Lu Hong to join the Bassa family.
"Don’t even think about it." Lu Hong shook his head firmly. Joining a family was not a matter of just a few words; an external bloodline family required thorough reviews and signing a contract to ensure the secrets of the family wouldn’t be leaked, among other things.
For a cautious family like Bassa, the contracts required were absolutely very restrictive; Lu Hong would not put his life in such a family.
"Okay then." Andre finally gave up persuading Lu Hong, and then asked him, "Do you still have the magic artifact you used when you tried to assassinate Craig?"
"Why, do you want it?" Lu Hong sneered. "Couldn’t find it last time? I have it, but even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t know how to use it."
Being caught red-handed trying to rummage through someone’s belongings made Andre’s face turn red, and he awkwardly explained, "That was just to make sure you didn’t carry any tracking devices that could expose our bases."
"Tell me, what do you want my artifact for?" Lu Hong did not explain that it was the power of the "Holy Sword"; it was better to speak less about such matters. It was perfectly appropriate for the other party to perceive it as a powerful magic artifact.
"Here is the thing, if you can use the artifact to help us rescue someone, I can request the elders to release you, and I assure you that we won’t trouble you any further." Andre promised solemnly.
"Rescue someone?" Lu Hong shook his head. "My magic artifact is suited for killing, not saving people."
