C880 Some Surrender Some Return to the West
chapter 880. - Some surrendered, some returned to the West.
Wan Zhongshan gathered all the higher ups and elders. Hall Master held a meeting and finally reached an agreement. That was to ignore Zhang Xing, but also not provoke him.
The same thing happened in the Bright City.
They were the closest to the Capital, and they were the first of the three major powers to receive the Imperial Decree.
Ben-Vader was different from everyone else in the Li Family. He was a typical Westerner, with white skin and blue eyes.
He had been Mayor in the Bright City for 38 years. He was 76 years old this year.
In other words, when he was 36 years old, he was Mayor. He was young and promising, and it was a good time to do something big.
However, the few Deputy Mayor and a dozen or so elders of the Bright City knew that he was sent here.
The reason was very simple. It was the result of the internal strife within the Family.
At the beginning, ben - Vader had conflicting emotions. He thought that a puny little Mayor was not on par with his status.
He always thought that he would be able to return to the Temple of Light one day.
But the days passed just like that. Soon, thirty-eight years had passed. He had long gotten used to everything here.
All the big and small figures in the City of Light had become his most loyal Subordinate.
Those who opposed him had been killed. Therefore, he no longer had any hopes of returning to the Family.
He felt that it was quite comfortable to be a Tu Kaiser here.
However, these days ended on the day that the Coalition forces suffered a great defeat.
Furthermore, the moment the new emperor's imperial edict arrived, the days became like years.
He could not sleep, could not eat, and was restless all day.
The entire Li Clan had been chased out of the Capital, and Li Sheng and Li Huang had been killed. He knew what his outcome would be.
He had the heart to ask for help from the Wanren Mountain. It was too far away, and he wouldn't be able to save him in time.
If he wanted to seek help from the Family, he would have to go even further. Before the message could be sent back, he might have been killed by Zhang Xing.
Ben-Vader had been hesitating over personal gains and losses. In the end, he could not bear this kind of torture. He wrote a letter to Zhang Xing himself and surrendered.
He promised that he would bring a heavy gift and attend the ceremony on the day of the new emperor's coronation.
The attitude of the Mercenary Guild's chairman, Lu Zhe, was the opposite of his.
If I can't beat you, I won't run away!
Thus, the moment he received the Imperial Decree, he gathered all the higher ups in the guild and held a meeting.
He also promoted a new batch of people to the guild's leadership, and even handed over the authority of the guild leader.
He claimed that he would only let his successor, Sha Wenbin, manage the guild temporarily and that he would be back soon.
The reason was that, under the invitation of the higher guilds, he would lead a portion of the people to the Tier 5 Empire and Shuangfuguo to participate in an Exchange Conference event held by the guild.
At the same time, he also suggested for his successor, Sha Wenbin, to decide on his own whether he wanted to participate in the new Emperor Ascension Ceremony or not.
As for what instructions Sha Wenbin wanted him to give, Lu Zhe waved his hand. My relationship with the Li Family is pretty good, so I won't express my opinion.2
After saying that, he led his family and Subordinate, who had participated in the crusade against Zhang Xing, and quietly left the Mercenary Guild in the dark.
Ten days later, Sha Wenbin brought a large number of gifts. On the way to the Capital, he found the bodies of the chairman, Lu Zhe, and vice chairman Su Yingjie in a mountain range.
Their deaths were miserable. Everyone's corpses were bitten and torn until they were badly mutilated, but the head was perfectly intact. One look and one could tell that they were killed by the Devil Beast.
Sha Wenbin and the others felt their scalps go numb, and their bodies turned cold.
No matter how stupid they were, they knew that Lu Zhe was killed by someone who commanded the Demon beast army to attack him.
Sigh! This was fate. Lu Zhe thought that he had left the burden to Subordinate and secretly escaped, but in the end, he still couldn't escape death.
