Chapter 399 - 7.89 Not Again
If it wasn’t for Moshe, Lu Yizhou would have been deemed as another traitor with his sudden declaration. For fuck’s sake, these high ranked members of the clan really reminded him of those wily old foxes slash board directors in the first world where he used to be CEO Lu. The manner of those directors urging him to get married to have an heir was awfully similar to these people advising Moshe to think of the matter clearly.
"No matter how you look at him, he is a very suspicious individual, Sir!"
"That’s right, we can’t afford to get you harmed too! What if this is all a trap?!"
"Boss, we beseech you to think again. Who is this fellow? How can he obtain such crucial information? I think that’s the most important thing we have to find out!"
"Boss—"
"Shut. Up." Moshe seethed, veins popping out of his neck. He showed a terrifyingly cold smile as he swept his gaze around the ones who had just talked. "You guys are just yapping and running your mouth as you please. Why don’t you talk to me again after you have obtained something instead of standing around here when we can save our time if we depart by now?"
They were flabbergasted by the harsh response. Since when did their leader become such a crude man? "T–This..."
Moshe was already gesturing for his men to prepare the cars. "I trust Aiden. If he wants to kill me, then he doesn’t have to resort to planning such a complicated scheme. He is powerful enough to slash my throat right now if he wants to. Right?" The last sentence was clearly directed toward Lu Yizhou.
Lu Yizhou had no idea whether to laugh or cry. If he said no, it meant he had to contradict Moshe’s words in front of everyone and in turn, making him look ridiculous. But if he said yes... wouldn’t he just make the situation worse?! He cleared his throat. "That is nonsensical. My loyalty lies with Mr. Mo and only Mr. Mo alone."
His answer seemed to appease Moshe because when he turned to the others again, the frost in his smile had thawed a bit. "I don’t want to hear such a thing ever again, understand?" After receiving a few jerky nods of approval, Moshe relaxed his stance and said almost in a soft tone. "Even if the one who relays the news today is not Aiden, I will still go. There’s a chance to save Kaede’s life, how can I not take it? I will still do it even though it is you guys who are in Kaede’s position now."
The wily old foxes blinked in shock as if not expecting that kind of sentence. "Sir..."
