Chapter 986 - 738: Piercing the Window Paper
On the other side, Shen Tang also heard the news from the city, saying that Big Boss’s daughter, Wu Wei, had disappeared a few days ago, and there was no trace of her yet.
Moreover, there were already photos of a huge bounty posted in the city.
Doesn’t this photo look familiar?
It’s exactly her and Xiao Jin.
From the angle, it was taken directly from surveillance footage.
Shen Tang had been wanted for so long that she felt calm and unperturbed. She turned her head to see Xiao Jin sipping the meat soup she made, seemingly unconcerned. "Was it the City Lord’s young lady you killed?"
Xiao Jin glanced at the notice and said lightly, "That female, I seem to have a bit of an impression... When I broke into the base, she stopped me at the gate. Indeed, I exchanged a few blows with her, but she was quite strong, should not have been so easy to kill."
As he spoke, he said angrily, "This old man couldn’t be trying to frame me, could he!"
After all, Xiao Jin never bothered with affairs, but still held an empty position under the Hunting Leopard Clan Leader’s name, so if the Big Boss wanted to use that title to stir up trouble, there was indeed a reason to dispatch troops.
"The distance between the two places is so far, and in between there are dangerous Parasite Clans and the Water Clans isolating the continents. Although the Feather Clans have a natural restraint over these two races, they shouldn’t have any need to invade the Hunting Leopard Clan’s territory."
Shen Tang shook her head, "And I’ve heard that the City Lord does indeed dote on this daughter, so there should be no need to use his daughter to frame you."
Xiao Jin was also somewhat confused, had he really acted too harshly at the time and accidentally killed her?
The battle was so intense back then, he had already gone mad with killing, who knew what females, males, or identities there were. Anyway, anyone blocking the road was treated the same.
"But the strange thing is, even if Wu Wei is really dead, there should be a corpse left behind. Looking at the City Lord’s intention, it’s as if this person simply vanished into thin air, still alive or dead, no body to be found." Shen Tang found it a bit strange.
She also felt a bit of a headache, no matter if Wu Wei was dead or not, the two of them would probably encounter some trouble next.
The City Lord is a tough character, even stronger in means and strength than those old men Shou He from the Hunting Leopard Clan and Xue Xiaoyuan from the Ghost Snake Clan.
If the Big Boss Mo Yan believes these two are the murderers of his daughter, then they surely won’t fare well.
However, Shen Tang’s biggest concern is still Lu Xiao, whether this matter will implicate him.
...
On the streets of Sky City, Lu Xiao personally led a team to patrol.
The crowd on the road parted to both sides like Moses parting the sea, but many were excitedly gathered to watch. It’s important to know, this is the legendary Third Boss.
Usually, the high-ranking members never voluntarily appear before people, some might never have the chance to meet them in their lives.
It’s unclear what happened, but today, the Third Boss personally led the patrol team, which is truly a rare sight.
Upon recognizing the appearance of this Third Boss, many young females in the crowd became even more excited.
The man was tall and upright, with a deep and handsome face, eyes deeply set, a high and prominent nose, exceptionally striking. Yet his face always had an unhealthy pallor, with lips tinted light, the whole person appearing somewhat weary.
In the space between brows, there was a faint trace of unresolved fatigue and subdued endurance.
Like an eagle meant to soar through the skies, now chained invisibly within a cage.
Lu Xiao naturally also heard the news from that side and felt relieved.
Knowing she escaped safely, he was assured.
Shen Tang and Xiao Jin being together, he would protect her well.
There was nothing he needed to worry about.
But at the same time, he saw the wanted notices posted in every corner of the city.
Moreover, differing from ordinary wanted notices, this time it was personally issued by the Big Boss, stating these two abducted the missing Wu Wei.
Lu Xiao furrowed his brows, feeling there was something strange with this matter.
Suddenly, a subordinate came to report.
"It’s not good, sir! The Big Boss has sent troops to surround your palace, upon hearing you weren’t in residence, they became more murderous, sending people to demand your return. Those people will arrive soon!"
The subordinate was loyal and full of concern, "I don’t know what’s happened, but the Big Boss’s side certainly means trouble, sir, shouldn’t you leave quickly to hide?"
Lu Xiao, however, seemed to have anticipated this and did not leave.
He and the Big Boss, sooner or later, have to tear away that fragile paper window, reaching this point.
He originally thought this day would come a little later.
But ultimately it came.
There’s nothing to fear.
"No worries, go back."
