Chapter 428 - 182: Acquaintance
The specific military strategies and defense deployments of the Dragon Pool City, as well as the conflicts between other small families—who could be recruited and who could be utilized—were matters that Lu Hong was not too eager to be involved in.
He was, after all, a top-tier fighter and disdained such conspiring and scheming. Anyway, whatever Xie’an had planned, he would simply go along with it.
"I’m going out for a bit, is that okay?" Lu Hong stood up, interrupting the conversation.
Bo Heng was slightly taken aback before turning to Ji Tong and saying, "Mr. Ji, please accompany Baron Lu Hong for a walk."
"Yes." A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Ji Tong’s eyes, but he did as he was told and left the cabin with Lu Hong.
On their original route, under Ji Tong’s guidance, Lu Hong arrived at the city closest to the Pasa family.
"Mr. Ji, I’ll just stroll around on my own; no need for you to accompany me." Lu Hong entered the city solely to make contact with the Black Guard, and Ji Tong’s presence was a hindrance.
"Alright, then you roam freely, sir. If you wish to return, just head left to Pasa Commerce where we started from. I’ll have someone wait there to escort you back," Ji Tong, also preoccupied with his matters, agreed without hesitation.
Lu Hong watched with interest as Ji Tong hurried away. He had noticed the previous dissatisfaction in Ji Tong’s eyes. It seemed this man was extremely concerned about the consultation matters between Bo Heng and Xie’an—something seemed off about him!
For the time being, instead of dwelling on it, Lu Hong made a quick calculation in his mind and then, with the token in his pocket, aimlessly roamed around Soaring Cloud City in Dragon Pool, testing the token’s reactions.
