Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

He didn't answer Zhou Fengliu immediately. Instead, he adjusted his round-framed glasses, paused for two seconds, and then spoke:

"Xiao Zhou, this is not allowed in principle. The company definitely cannot bring this up with Nathan Wang on its own initiative, after all, so many eyes are watching..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's answer, Zhou Fengliu understood what his leader meant.

In principle, yes, but in practice, no.

In principle, it is not allowed, but in practice it is.

The fact that this matter is difficult to handle means that it can be handled.

If the statement "try your best to do this" means that the matter cannot be accomplished, then it means that the matter cannot be accomplished.

Zhao Fangxu's statement that it was "not permissible in principle" was actually a way of waiting for King Nathan to take the initiative and for Nathan Island to initiate cooperation before the matter could proceed...

In response to Zhao Fangxu's implied meaning, Zhou Fengliu reacted quickly:

"Rest assured, sir. This matter was brought up by King Nathan himself. With the Divine Tree gone, and Behemoth's unsportsmanlike intervention this time, King Nathan figured the agreement from a thousand years ago was no longer useful..."

"They also need to consider the future of Nathan Island..."

Hearing that Zhou Fengliu understood his meaning, Zhao Fangxu didn't elaborate further. He then said:

"Xiao Zhou, you're about to join our company's board of directors. We recognize your abilities. As for Nathan's matter, you handle it... Remember one thing, don't be reckless..."

"Yes, don't worry, boss."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Fengliu looked at King Nasen not far away and sighed with emotion.

Hmm.

This angel investor in Nathan Island shows how much he cares about the island!

...

Not far away.

Alfonso looked at King Nathan and asked:

"Your Majesty...are we really going to...make peace with the guy who destroyed the sacred tree? Do you really want to become his substitute?"

"What's the difference between that guy and Behemoth? The same businessman's face, the same scheming intentions."

After listening to Alfonso's words, King Nathan remained silent for a few seconds.

indeed.

Behemoth's goal was to invade Nathan Island for the sake of the Tree of God.

Zhou Fengliu has now destroyed the divine tree. In terms of the final damage to Nathan Island, Zhou Fengliu and Behemoth are the same, causing Nathan Island to lose the divine tree.

but...

She wouldn't blame Zhou Fengliu, because it was her own choice, made actively in accordance with the divine tree's hints. It was the divine tree's choice, not Nathan Island's passive acceptance of the invasion.

Between Behemoth and the sacred tree, she believed in the tree's hints and its choices.

Zhou Fengliu...

That's the one who saved us.

The fact that the sacred tree offered no resistance just now is the best proof of this.

She slowly answered Alfonso:

"This is the divine tree's arrangement of our destiny. He is the one who will save us, and he will also lead Nathan out of his predicament."

"He is Nathan's King of Cinder."

"..."

Listening to King Nathan's seemingly brainwashed speech, Alfonso calmed down. No one would question the Divine Tree, especially as a member of Nathan's Guard.

...

The other side of the island.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao continued to approach Li Muxuan's hiding place under the cover of night.

After learning the name Li Muxuan, Zhang Chulan asked Xu Si to investigate Li Muxuan's background over the phone. After some investigation, Xu Si told them about Li Muxuan's background.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Muxuan, the evil child of Quanxing, was closely related to the disappearance of the Sanyi Sect.

Not only that, Li Muxuan himself was also present when Wugensheng caused a great disturbance at the Sanyi Sect.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Lin and Lu Linglong immediately set off to find Li Muxuan.

Although Zhang Chulan also wanted to know about that past event, he didn't bring it up first.

He waited until the Lu siblings finished speaking before using the pretense of doing them a favor to help them find Li Muxuan, revealing Zhang Chulan's cunning.

"That... must be Li Muxuan, right?" Zhang Chulan said, looking at Li Muxuan who was sleeping on the grass under the moonlight.

"Yes... Let's go take a look."

"Ah."

The group cautiously approached Li Muxuan, who was taking a nap. Naturally, Li Muxuan noticed their presence and spoke when they were less than five meters away from him.

"What do you little brats want from me?"

"Is it Li Muxuan, Senior Li?" Lu Lin asked.

"Hmm." Li Muxuan responded, then opened his eyes, glanced at the junior in front of him, and said:

"Look at you little rascals, you look unfamiliar."

"Junior Lu Lin."

"Junior Lu Linglong."

Lu Linglong said this to Lu Lin.

"?"

Upon hearing the names Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, Li Muxuan, who had already been frightened by Zhou Fengliu's use of the name Lu Jin, immediately frowned.

Surname Lu?

Could it be that they're in cahoots with that person, coming to arrest me?

"Who are your elders in your families, you two little ones?" Li Muxuan asked, though he had some doubts.

"Grandpa Lu Jin."

"..."

Upon hearing that these two young people were indeed descendants of Lu Jin, Li Muxuan felt that this was truly never going to end.

He had been hiding from Zhou Fengliu for half a day, and just when he finally managed to get some sleep, he was found by Lu Jin's descendants.

That old bastard... he's like a persistent ghost.

"Are you guys ever going to stop...? Does that old man really want to see me that badly?"

Li Muxuan was also a little tired at this moment. He knew that the island was only so big and he couldn't hide for too long.

So he hid for a while, and finally chose to come back to sleep.

"If he really wants to see me, then let him come. What's the point of sending thugs? What? Getting old and timid?"

Hearing Li Muxuan's words, Lu Lin shook her head:

“We are not thugs. We came to you because we want to know about the Trinity Gate incident back then.”

"Trinity Gate?"

Upon hearing these three words, Li Muxuan frowned. Judging from his expression, he seemed reluctant to discuss anything related to the Sanyi Sect. He then waved his hand.

"Go back and ask that old man; he knows more than I do."

“We’d like to, but it’s a deep concern for Grandpa, and he’s never mentioned it to anyone,” Lu Lin replied.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan remained silent for two seconds before saying:

"Heh, you're badly injured. No wonder you only sent thugs to check on me after receiving news of me..."

Chapter 399 Zhang Chulan: Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! You can't kill him like this!

“Senior Li, we won’t make things difficult for you. Please come back with us to treat Grandpa’s injuries.”

Lu Lin looked at Li Muxuan and began to speak.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan snorted coldly: "You call this not making things difficult for me?"

“You don’t understand. If I go back with you… only one of us, that old man or I, will survive.”

"The children of the Lu family are so filial."

Li Muxuan said that Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, these two filial sons and daughters, really amused him.

"I've thought about it. If my great-grandfather could beat you to death and calm down, that would be the best outcome."

"If Grandfather can't beat you... then the entire Lu family will come at you together."

"?"

Hearing Lu Linglong's words, Li Muxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Look at what this girl is saying...

Isn't this bullying honest people?

If you can't beat them, then forget about martial ethics and attack together!? Isn't Lu Jin supposed to be upright and honorable?

How come their descendants all look like bandits?

Why should I go back with you?

Li Muxuan's hands were itching at this moment.

He figured he couldn't beat the thugs Lu Jin sent, so he might as well bully Lu Jin's descendants to vent his anger.
