Chapter 222 - 144: Capture Yao Xing! Dragon Tribunal!
Suo Lun’s instinct was to deny his identity, but he quickly caught himself.
If he wasn’t Suo Lun, his first reaction would be to worry about Yan Nai’er, especially since she had already mentioned something terrifying—that she wouldn’t be allowed to leave alive tonight.
If he hurried to deny his true identity, it would only appear suspicious.
Moreover, how could Turing Duo recognize him? Although she had studied with Suo Lun for five or six years, she barely attended school from enrollment to graduation. Besides, the previous Suo Lun, despite having pursued every beauty at Royal City Academy, had never pursued Turing Duo.
The two had virtually no interaction; how could she recognize him at first glance? Not to mention, the current Suo Lun was no longer the previous one but an imposter from Earth named Lanling.
There was only one possibility—Turing Duo was trying to swindle him.
Her father, Duke Turing Tuo, was firmly on Zhi Li’s side, even considered a mainstay by Zhi Li’s side. And Turing Duo herself had always worked on the secret front for Rage Wave Kingdom, clearly understanding the struggle between Zhi Li and himself.
Originally, Zhi Li planned to have Suo Hanyi kill him, which failed. Later, the plan was to trap him on Chaos Stone Island and let him die there. Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he also established a considerable foundation on the island and found a giant money tree.
They must also be guessing what Suo Lun’s next move would be.
He would seek military forces; he had earned astronomical amounts of Gold Coin, so the next step would be to find an army.
So, where would Suo Lun look for an army? Out of the three major mercenary cities, the likelihood of him coming to Tianye City was the greatest.
