Chapter 427: The Elders' Current Situation
Chapter 427: The Elders' Current Situation
In District 1, at Elder Mountain, the group of elders gathered once more in the conference room after more than a month had passed.
This time, the number of attendees was almost half of the previous gathering, but none were absent.
Those who did come were all injured.
Impatience was written on everyone's faces.
"I thought we agreed to let him be in seclusion?" one elder asked. "What new issue has brought us together again?"
Another elder spoke up, "I'm here, but my injuries haven't fully healed. I really don't want to deal with the mess outside."
"And if this is still about Lu Wu, I suggest you drop the subject. I'll leave immediately if you bring it up!"
Several elders expressed their current stance as soon as they entered.
Their attitude made Zhao Xuen, the elder who convened the meeting, uncomfortable. But Fei Yinghao, another elder, was even more displeased.
"You old fools, do you have any sense of crisis at all?" Fei Yinghao asked. "Don't you know what Lu Wu has been up to for the past half a month?"
The other elders shook their heads. "You're not serious, are you? You called us here because of Lu Wu?
Are you all just bored? Can't you focus on something else instead of him?"
"You know very well that he's a pawn of the Zero Organization and the son of Lu Haikong. There's also a potential force gathering behind him, possibly in opposition to the Zero Organization."
"Moreover, he's just destroyed the Zero Organization and formed a Shadow Organization. These are minor issues. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for our Alliance, we should just ignore him!"
At this point, only six elders remained in the Council of Elders.
But even among these six, there were three different opinions regarding Lu Wu.
The first group was led by Fei Yinghao, who firmly believed that Lu Wu was a menace and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
The second group was headed by Zhang Mingge, who advocated a hands-off approach. They believed that Lu Wu was the source of trouble, and behind him was the madman, the Zero Organization.
Engaging Lu Wu was akin to inviting endless problems, so it was best to completely ignore him.
The third opinion was held by Zhao Xuen, who thought that Lu Wu should be observed but not killed. However, his actions needed to be restricted.
These differing views clashed in the meeting room.
Due to Dudu's previous attack on Elder Mountain, these elders now had a heightened sense of caution.
Most of them sided with Zhang Mingge's hands-off approach.
"While letting things take their course may be the easiest option, have you considered Lu Wu's current attitude towards our Council of Elders and the Alliance?" Fei Yinghao asked, leaning over the table. "You've all seen his profile and should have some understanding of his situation.
You should know that he's the type to hold a grudge. Do you think he can let go of the death of Pang Dudu on Elder Mountain? He will seek revenge! Just look at what he did to the Zero Organization! If we don't deal with him early on, one day he'll bring his fight to the Alliance! By then, the price we'll have to pay will be completely different from what it is now!"
Fei Yinghao slammed his hand on the table, glaring down at Zhang Mingge and the others.
Zhang Mingge shook his head and chuckled. "You're just fear-mongering. First of all, Lu Wu isn't a fool. From his actions against the Zero Organization...
As soon as he acted, it was clear that he now understood the fate he was being manipulated into.
Currently, all his energy is focused on resisting the Zeroers.
In the short term, he won't have the energy to cause trouble for the Alliance.
So, the more we ignore him at times like this, the less likely he is to shift his attention to us. If we engage, he might redirect his focus onto us, and that's when the real trouble begins.
My advice remains the same: do nothing and just watch.
Time will drive him crazy, and it will also lead to his demise. The Zeroers won't let him cause trouble for long."
"This is inaction! You're putting the safety of the Alliance entirely on Lu Wu's shoulders. What if he suddenly goes crazy and decides to attack the Alliance one day?"
"Inaction is better than acting recklessly.
As for what you mentioned, the possibility is almost zero.
Even if we take a step back and assume that such a situation arises, we still have ways to deal with it!
We're aware of Lu Wu's involvement with the Zero Organization. Ultimately, the extent of what he can do is a result of the Zeroers' negligence.
In the 1691st chapter, the first version of the book has no mistakes!
If he shifts his target to the Alliance, I have a hundred ways to deal with him if necessary!"
Zhang Mingge slammed the table and stared confidently at Fei Yinghao and Zhao Xuen.
His words stunned both Fei Yinghao and Zhao Xuen.
The two men were taken aback, and just as Fei Yinghao was about to speak, Zhao Xuen's phone rang, interrupting him.
Zhao Xuen glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.
As soon as he answered, Zhao Xuen's expression turned grim.
A minute later, Zhao Xuen ended the call with a simple 'I understand.'
He then looked up at Zhang Mingge, his gaze and expression filled with a hint of strangeness, making Zhang Mingge feel a bit uneasy.
"What's wrong? Who called? What made you look like that?"
Zhao Xuen paused for a moment before replying, "It was a call from the Alliance, regarding Lu Wu."
"Lu Wu? What about him? Could it be that he's found the First Messenger of the Zero Organization?
That's unlikely, though. The First Messenger of the Zero Organization is powerful. Even if Lu Wu found him, he wouldn't be able to handle it, right? Or did he take over another base?"
"It's not related to Zero."
Zhang Mingge had a bad feeling about this: "You're not going to tell me..."
This time, Zhao Xuen also found it difficult to beat around the bush with him and said directly, "Lu Wu just called the Alliance, demanding that they notify us and give us three days. If not, he'll destroy the entire Alliance and take the treasure vault's door fragment!"
Zhao Xuen's words were filled with helplessness, but Fei Yinghao, sitting next to him, became excited upon hearing this.
"I was saying... I knew this kid is a troublemaker. Keeping him around will eventually bring trouble to us, but you didn't believe me. Now, see?
He just took over the Zero Organization and is already turning against us!
He even threatened to destroy the Alliance. Can you still bear it this time?
Zhang Mingge, you said you had a hundred ways to deal with him, right? Now's your chance to prove it!"
Meanwhile, on Zhang Mingge's side, after a brief moment of confusion, his expression gradually turned cold.
"A shameless fool!"
