Chapter 343 - 98: Showdown
Since the fierce battle at the Tianyuan Colosseum, Lu Hong’s days had been exceptionally pleasant. Anna devoted herself entirely, taking care of Lu Hong with meticulous attention.
Lu Hong felt keenly aware that his Great War Master professional level was low, and for the past few days, he trained tirelessly day and night. Anna had gone all out to buy Battle Qi Spirit Stones from the market to aid his training.
Three days had passed since the intense fight. Qing Ling had visited once, looking worn out, clearly having expended much energy in the suppression efforts in the lower levels.
As for Jin Fu, he hadn’t shown up at all. According to Qing Ling, he was too busy to do anything but squat at the Duke’s doorstep all day. It must have been tough on him.
Life continued on uneventfully, but unexpectedly on the fourth evening, Lu Hong couldn’t remember exactly what had caused it, but Anna ultimately still pointed to his identity.
"Are you really the Baron of Yitian from the Sacred Empire?" Anna stared into Lu Hong’s eyes, her words seeming to consume all her strength.
"Is it that important?" Lu Hong sighed without answering directly.
"Yes," Anna, with a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth, said, "Do you know? These past few days, I’ve been going crazy."
"What happened? Is someone pressuring you?" Lu Hong frowned. That shouldn’t be the case. Nong Hua had made all the arrangements, there should be someone secretly protecting Anna, keeping her from the harassment of the four great Dukes.
Anna nodded: "The principal is pressuring me. The four great Dukes have sent people to pressure me, too, making me watch you and find out your true purpose for coming to the Alliance."
