Chapter 973 - 732: You’re Here
Lu Xiao was giving instructions to his subordinates.
A shadow flashed past outside the window.
He paused for a moment, as if sensing something, and casually found an excuse to dismiss the others.
He turned around and went to the underground chamber.
This place was intentionally left without any surveillance.
A long figure appeared in front of him shortly after.
Lu Xiao’s tone was very calm, "You’re here."
The other person was wearing a mask and had made some adjustments to his figure, but Lu Xiao knew it was him.
Fu... no, Jin looked at the person he hadn’t seen in days, hesitated for two seconds before speaking, "She came to save you."
He crossed his arms, leaning against the wall, shrugged with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "You know her stubborn nature; I couldn’t stop her, so I came with her to find you."
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly, as if he had already predicted this; he knew she wouldn’t just let it go.
Jin looked at him, not only surprised but also a bit wistful.
The man before him was still as tall and upright as he remembered, even a bit taller than him, but he was obviously thinner, pale-faced, with dark circles under his eyes, exuding a sense of depression and fatigue far removed from when he was the Lu Family Head.
It was clear that his days here as the third head were not as easy as outsiders imagined.
Jin sighed, unsure if it was out of pity or mockery, "How did you get yourself into this state?"
Although Lu Xiao’s complexion had worsened considerably, his tone remained the same as he looked at the young Black Panther, a gentle and deep voice tinged with a faint smile, "You haven’t changed a bit."
"..."
Jin’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Lu Xiao knew everything.
Even though this man had stayed in Sky City and never went out, he had thoroughly investigated everything behind the scenes.
This included when Shen Tang last came from the Divine Fox Clan, Jin was actually secretly following her. It was just that Baron and the others were protecting her, so he didn’t need to take action; he had never revealed himself until that time with Wu Wei.
It was precisely because of this that when Lu Xiao parted with Shen Tang last time, he felt assured to let her leave alone.
In fact, during the last time in Sky City, Jin had been in secret contact with Lu Xiao, but they never met in person to avoid exposure.
Lu Xiao covertly sent him messages through loyal subordinates and also gave him some resources.
The villa on the Floating Island in the Sky was arranged by Lu Xiao.
In Sky City, these private floating islands were completely owned by individuals, beyond the Big Boss’s control.
Lu Xiao knew he couldn’t escape the Big Boss now, so he had to transfer power and find someone to connect him with the outside world, to do things he was now restricted from doing.
Jin snorted softly, having no choice but to admit, this guy really was prescient.
No wonder Shen Tang trusted and relied on him the most, which sometimes made him a bit envious, but he honestly admired it.
But how did someone who could calculate everything end up like this? He carefully thought out every matter, but when it came to himself, he hadn’t foreseen this?
Perhaps, he had foreseen it, but still chose this path.
Jin pursed his lips and quietly said, "I’ve regained all my former memories, but never mind that... it’s not safe for you here, and she’s always been worried about you. Come with me, leave this place."
He snuck into the Royal Palace under the cover of night, all to take Lu Xiao away; otherwise, that young female would always have this matter in her heart, probably unable to let it go for a lifetime.
Jin didn’t want to see her constantly worrying about another male, almost losing her life over it.
Let’s take the person away first. As for "Return Nest"... as long as they’re alive, there will always be a way to resolve it, right?
