Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1412 - 1414: Recognize Yourself
"Don’t you understand yet?" Elder Yu shook his head, "It means that today’s defection drama was orchestrated entirely by Lu Xiaobu."
"What? He orchestrated it?" Mr. Wang was taken aback.
"Just went with the flow," Lu Xiaobu shrugged, "Since it was bound to happen sooner or later, I might as well guide it myself. It gives them something to remember as well."
"I pity these grandmasters for no reason at all," Elder Yu shook his head with a bitter smile, "They thought their ideas were their own, not realizing you planted those thoughts in them."
"What kind of ideas could they have? If they didn’t have such notions, there’d be a lot less trouble," Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said.
"Then why are you not letting this final grandmaster return? Why did you go out of your way?" Mr. Wang understood.
"Fishing," Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
"Fishing? For who? Elder Yu?" Mr. Wang joked.
"Probably Lin Feng’s people," Elder Yu ignored Mr. Wang’s cold joke.
This guy, are people more improper as they age?
"Exactly, with Lin Feng’s personality, if he doesn’t plant someone, is he still Lin Feng?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged.
"Then how do you know he will definitely show himself?" Elder Yu continued, "If it were me, I’d stay hidden, only emerging at a crucial moment."
"That’s how it usually is. But what if the person leaving is also Lin Feng’s covert agent? If such a sudden departure happened, wouldn’t you come out to check?" Lu Xiaobu smiled lightly.
"Damn!" Mr. Wang was stunned.
He understood now, but was simultaneously shocked!
"You mean the grandmaster holding the camera was originally Lin Feng’s covert agent, but was persuaded by you instead?! An inside job? A double cross?!" Mr. Wang stammered.
Lu Xiaobu was noncommittal.
Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s expression, Elder Yu and Mr. Wang exchanged glances and sighed!
Are these two people even human?!
It must be a clash of immortals, right?
No wonder these two could divide the grandmasters!
Their tactics are so perfect; how could those foolish grandmasters possibly compete?!
Of course, the grandmasters aren’t actually foolish, but in front of these two, it feels like everyone’s neck is a chamber pot.
Including these two!
"He’s appeared, who is it?" Elder Yu looked at the television and asked.
"He really showed up," Mr. Wang was also astonished, "Who exactly is it?"
"Who cares who it is," Lu Xiaobu shrugged, stood up, and walked out, "He’s dead anyway."
At the door, he paused, "I’ve already booked a room for you, if you’re not going back, just rest here."
With that, Lu Xiaobu left.
Who is the covert agent?
Doesn’t matter anymore!
Watching Lu Xiaobu’s departing figure, Elder Yu and Mr. Wang fell silent once again.
"What would the world be like if it were only Lu Xiaobu or only Lin Feng?" Elder Yu muttered to himself.
"Perhaps they would choose to destroy the world," Mr. Wang shrugged, half-joking and half-serious, "Masters are always lonely, once they have everything, it seems destruction is the best toy for them."
"I think so too," Elder Yu laughed self-deprecatingly, "And I think for people like them, it wouldn’t be hard to accomplish."
"Hasn’t Lu Xiaobu already done that!" Mr. Wang smirked, "Isn’t that exactly what happened in Japan? Now Da He has also been taken down by these two, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake if they targeted Japan again?"
"Luckily, the two are opponents, draining each other’s energy. If they were on good terms, who knows what kind of trouble they’d cause?!" Elder Yu sighed bitterly.
"But such people seem incapable of becoming friends," Mr. Wang shrugged.
"True enough," Elder Yu shook his head, ending the topic!
...
Late at night.
The grandmasters gathered once more at the Thunder God eSports Hall.
They all had complicated expressions at this moment.
They all knew what had happened today.
Looking at Zuo An and Master Wei, who returned, and the grandmaster who would never return, everyone felt heavy-hearted.
They truly did not expect such an outcome.
They considered themselves grandmasters, unbeatable in combat prowess, with few things in the world to trouble them!
But reality gave them a harsh slap.
Before someone so young, they appeared as fools!
Does having the biggest fist make you the boss?!
Sorry, some people don’t need fists to be the boss!
Besides, their fist isn’t small either!
Silence, still silence!
A deathly silence!
Finally, Ye Changsheng broke the silence.
"What did I say?" Ye Changsheng sighed, "I told you, you can’t outplay Lu Xiaobu."
"Don’t humiliate us any further," Zuo An shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I mean no such thing, I’m just stating the truth," Ye Changsheng said sincerely.
"Yes, recognize the reality," Ni Huang slightly lowered her head, her gaze fixed on Elder Poison and the others.
Even if cleaned up, she could faintly smell the stench of blood.
Another grandmaster was dead!
How many years has it been since a grandmaster has fallen?
Yet, in such a short span of two days, grandmasters fell like cabbages!
Da He died!
Lin Feng killed one!
Now Lu Xiaobu killed another!
That’s not counting the crazy old man and earlier Mo Wentian that died at Lu Xiaobu’s hands!
"Recognize what?" Zuo An said bitterly.
He thought he knew the answer, but he didn’t want to admit it. He wanted someone else to tell him!
"Recognize that we are no longer the mightiest!" Elder Poison said slowly.
"Recognize that we now have a master!" Ni Xia said with grievance.
"Recognize that we have fallen from the so-called pedestal, now just a piece of meat in someone’s mouth, to be eaten or killed at will," Ni Huang’s words were the most straightforward and blunt!
Upon hearing these words, all the grandmasters felt a pang in their hearts.
As if someone stabbed with a knife and was mercilessly twisting it!
But!
They sadly found they couldn’t come up with any words to refute!
Yes, they were right!
This is their current status!
Though not pathetic, they’ve long been detached from high status!
"Alright, let’s not talk about that. I still say what I said before, I know what kind of person Lu Xiaobu is. As long as you follow, there is no problem, only benefits, no drawbacks!" Ye Changsheng concluded, echoing what he said at the last gathering.
But compared to a few nods of agreement last time!
This time, there was unanimous nodding in agreement!
They have accepted it!
Admitted that from now on, they would bear the Xiaobu’s label!
