Chapter 322: A proposal to settle all debts


    "Hu''er? What did he do?"


    "Father might no know this, but it was Dong Hu who ordered for the Third General and his army to make the first move."


    Frowning deeper, Dong Xiu immediately sent out the order for his youngest son toe here right away.


    ...


    Fuck!


    Having feared that he might end up receiving the me because none of his brothers would let go of this chance, Dong Hu despite not wanting to had no choice but to go and make an appearance.


    Still, how could he have guessed that some random stranger would have the backing of an expert in the Eternal Pce Realm?


    Were such experts like cabbages that everyone had in their pockets?!


    ...


    Smirking as he knew that after this Dong Hu''s status in the n would go down even more and make it impossible for him to ever try and fight for the position of the next n leader, Dong Shi who knew everything that happened from a spy of his was curious to see if that stupid brother of his could weasel his way out of trouble this time.


    Maintaining the same excitement and scorn in his eyes as Dong Hu finally walked inside the room and saw who it was that got him in trouble this time, Dong Shi mouthed ''You''re dead meat, brat.''


    Gritting his teeth since he knew that the situation wasn''t something which was in his favour in the least, Dong Hu didn''t dare shout out or show any weird expression.


    Instead, he just stood there and waited for his father, the n leader to begin.


    Not wasting any time, Dong Xiu went straight to the point.


    "Is what your brother said true, Hu''er? Were you the one who ordered the Third General to capture someone?"


    Trembling as he could sense the anger behind his father''s words, Dong Hu slowly nodded his head and said, "Yes, father."


    "Why?"


    Knowing what his father wanted to know, Dong Hu said, "They dared kidnap the girl I captured after.... "


    "Did you hear that father? He caused the death of our third general due to some ordinary girl!"


    "No not ordinary... She is special!..... Very special.... "


    As Dong Hu shool his head and tried to answer while being flustered, Dong Shi smirked and asked, "More special than our Third General?"


    "Yes!... What? No! I.... "


    Not knowing what to say, Dong Hu in the end after knowing that there was no escape sighed in resignation just in time for his father to once again m the table and cause it to split into the two.


    "Enough! For now change the status of Dong Hu to an ordinary member of the n and send him to the Tower of Solitude! His punishment will be decidedter!"


    Snorting inwardly from nor having expected his son to do such a thing for some girl, Dong Xiu made a note to not pass over the leadership of the n to his youngest son.


    "Humph! Even though Hu''er was in the fault by sending the Third General, this is only when concerning the internal matters of our n. Those people who dared to kill our Third General need to pay the price as well."


    Nodding his head, Dong Shi said, "I agree with you father, but a direct fight is not worth it. Our losses would be too heavy giving the remaining ns the opportunity to try and suppress us in the future."


    "Then what do you have in mind?"


    Smiling since he had already coke prepared, Dong Shi said, "The Spiritual Beast Huntingpetition is soon set to happen. Let''s challenge that person who killed our Third General to see who obtains a better position in the final ranking."


    "The losing side will have to obediently hand over everything the winning side asks for."


    "Since that boy has a pet in the Eternal Pce Realm, his background should be troublesome for us to deal with in case we kill him. But making him hand over resources topensate for the death of the Third General isn''t impossible."


    Nodding his head since this way they wouldn''t get wrapped up in a fight with some other faction and in the end cause troubles for themselves, Dong Xiu had someone quickly fo and inform the one who killed their Third General about the challenge.


    If he didn''t dare ept and refused though, Dong Xiu would no longer remain calm and rush over there to kill that person with his own hands.


    ...


    While this was happening inside the Dong n, the other ns inside the Lee City weren''t just acting as spectators and waiting to see what would happen next.


    With their spies being everywhere, it didn''t take long for a report of what happened between the Third General and Jian Shen as well as the decision made by Dong Xiu to arrive inside their own ns.


    And reading those reports each calm took a different stand. While most of them chose to wait for a while and then decide in the future if they''d support the Dong n or Jian Shen in fighting against the other one, there was one particr n which had already made its decision.


    The Wu n after learning that Jian Shen was someone who possessed a pet beast in the Eternal Pce Realm immediately decided that they were going to make him one of their own at all costs.


    As for how they''d do this, they were going to use one of the direct descendants and propose a political marriage to obtain that boy''s support.


    With one additional Eternal Pce Realm fighter, would they need to bother with the Spiritual Beast Hunting Competition? They could just storm the enemy ns one by one and take them down by surprise bing the sole overlord of the Lee City.
