Chapter 536 - 24 The City Lord Emerges from Seclusion
Another half-year had passed, and perhaps because the City Lord was about to emerge from seclusion, the Spring Fragrance Pavilion had launched four strong attacks against Lu Hong, wrecking half of the City Lord Mansion. Bick, unable to verify the identities of these assassins, could only vent all his fury on Lu Hong.
"This is the fourth attack already, what kind of person did you provoke?!" Bick lined up the bodies of his deceased brothers in front of Lu Hong’s door and roared his questions at him.
Lu Hong stifled a mouthful of blood, the latest attack had deployed an Third Transition Peak expert. Although it was unsuccessful in killing Lu Hong, it had left him severely injured.
"Lord Bick, I am very sorry for this, but this matter is of great importance, and knowing too much is not good for you," Lu Hong still decided to keep his mouth shut, knowing that there might be traitors from the Spring Fragrance Pavilion within the City Lord Mansion. If he revealed the secret, perhaps Bick would also fall victim to them.
Although this assistant of Bick’s opposed Lu Hong every day, Lu Hong could see his unyielding loyalty to the City Lord Mansion; such a person should not have to die innocently.
"The City Lord will emerge soon, you just wait!"
Ignoring Bick’s threat, Lu Hong asked, "Has Pudas not returned yet?"
"The Young City Lord is currently at Jiutong Mountain for a battle discussion, you won’t be going anywhere until the Young Master returns!"
"The assassins might come again, I hope Lord Bick can be fully prepared."
Bick looked at him with a cold gaze, "The safety of the City Lord Mansion is none of your concern."
