#175 - City Lord's Countermeasures
"The Flame Furnace, that's an important piece of equipment for Flame City. What do you need it for?"
Even the City Lord can't easily lend that thing out. If something goes wrong, the power of Flame City will decline sharply. If I made a mistake, I definitely wouldn't have a good time.
The importance of this Flame Furnace is definitely not much less than that of the Spider Queen Mother.
"It's nothing, just to purify an evil item."
Wang Yang was talking about the Book of Summoning. Others understood what Wang Yang meant. Before, Wang Yang had been learning fire attribute magic arrays in order to purify the evil power on the Book of Summoning.
But with the Flame Furnace, it's different. The Flame Furnace itself is a high-level fire attribute equipment.
It has the ability to refine and forge. With a little cooperation, purifying the Book of Summoning completely is not a problem at all. The only thing to worry about is whether this thing will destroy the Book of Summoning along with it.
But thinking that this thing was made by the Dragon Clan, at least its sturdiness should not be a problem.
"Okay, I can lend it to you, but someone must go with you."
This is surveillance, and also a concern that Wang Yang might do something to the Flame Furnace. Although this possibility is very small, as the City Lord, I have to avoid this situation from happening.
"No problem, it will be over soon." Wang Yang didn't care. He got the benefits, so he didn't need to worry about the rest.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. Red Beard, you take him there."
Red Beard immediately accepted the order. This was a gesture of goodwill. After all, Red Beard's relationship with Wang Yang was not bad. Although they were both sending people to monitor, the person sent made a difference. Red Beard was more likely to make them believe.
"I will prepare the contract. After signing the contract tomorrow, you can hand over the Mother Worm to us."
The City Lord originally wanted to get the Spider Queen today, but after what happened today, he also had to appease the other party's heart. So, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's the same anyway.
Besides, doing this is also good for his reputation. Just look at the expressions of the people around him.
After leaving, the City Lord walked all the way to Wang Hui's room. At this time, someone was guarding outside. Seeing the City Lord, the surrounding people wanted to salute, but the City Lord waved his hand, telling these people to step back.
Walking into the room, the City Lord saw Wang Hui smashing things. "Enough, stop it for me."
Seeing the City Lord, Wang Hui instinctively shrank his neck, and then said somewhat angrily: "Second Uncle, we are family, but you are treating me like this for an outsider. Are you worthy of my father?"
The City Lord was originally a little guilty, but hearing this, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he slapped Wang Hui directly.
"Shut up, what do you know? Do you know what you are doing? Your father sacrificed himself for the family and for Flame City. Without your father, I wouldn't have my position as City Lord. Otherwise, would I be so indulgent towards you?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Wang Hui's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Do you know what consequences your actions today will cause? Flame City is not our family's Flame City. If this matter is not handled well, our family's reputation will decline sharply. When I can't be re-elected as City Lord, and our family can't produce a new City Lord, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Wang Hui, who had never thought about these things, suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
If the family loses the City Lord, the consequences will be troublesome. Although Wang Hui is an idiot without brains, he is not a fool who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, he is very aware of the struggles between those high-level people.
Thinking that the family has lost the City Lord, the other major families who have been suppressed by them will definitely not let them go easily. And he usually relies on his identity to offend many disciples of major families.
If he loses the position of City Lord, they will definitely pay him back double.
"Impossible, Flame City is our family's territory, we..."
"Enough, Flame City has never been our family's. This is a fortress city, a city controlled by the military. No matter how high our prestige is here, we will have to get out with just one word from the military."
"Then, it will be fine as long as the military doesn't know."
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Do you think the military won't see such a big thing? So many people have seen it, do you think the military won't know? Besides, do you know who is behind that woman? That's not someone our family can provoke. If we keep them, our family will be doomed."
This time, Wang Hui's face really turned pale. How could the people that the family can't afford to provoke be adventurers? Damn it, why are the children of these major families so worrying now?
Shouldn't they join big forces? Why do they want to plot against me? It's really damn it.
"Next, you can't stay in Flame City anymore, or you won't have good results. I will send you to Qian Shi Ling. There are many combat missions there. You can perform well there, and maybe you can achieve something in the future."
"What, Qian Shi Ling? That place is very dangerous."
"Only this kind of dangerous place can restore your reputation. Look outside, what has your reputation become? I didn't even notice it. Fortunately, it's not too late. If I let you continue, our family's reputation will be ruined."
Wang Hui lowered his head. He didn't think he was doing anything wrong. All of this was because the family's strength was not enough. If he had enough strength, what would happen if he did something more excessive? They are just some ordinary people, how dare they show their teeth to him? That's right, it's all because of insufficient strength.
"In addition, I will take out the Molten Fire Secret Medicine and use it to cultivate the Spider Queen Mother this time, which can be regarded as a compensation. As long as the Mother Worm is strong, the strength of Flame City will be strong, and our family's position will be more stable."
Molten Fire Secret Medicine, why is even this being taken out? This Molten Fire Secret Medicine was not easy for Second Uncle to get. It was originally intended to improve his strength further, or for the family to cultivate a second advanced professional, but now it is actually going to be taken out to raise spiders.
If this was given to him, maybe he could become a Martial Master.
And as long as he becomes a Martial Master, who would dare to show him a bad face?
"You must also remember to perform well when you arrive at Qian Shi Ling. If you can do well, then you can establish a strong family branch in Qian Shi Ling in the future."
This is equivalent to throwing him out and not letting him come back. Establishing a branch sounds nice, but how many have succeeded?
Once successful, the family's ability to resist risks will be greatly improved, but the suffering in the middle is not something ordinary people can bear. Thinking of this, the resentment in Wang Hui's heart became even stronger.
