Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1830 - 828: Temporary Appointment
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
"In response to the lord! The two of them were let in by the Third Elder. I’m not sure why the Third Elder let them in..."
Regarding Fang Yu, this captain really spills everything.
In a way, Fang Yu has become mythologized within the Bo Mansion; his status is rising steadily, and everyone he meets treats him with reverence.
"Lord, you should be asking me about this!"
Jiang Yong volunteered, pointing to himself.
Fang Yu was a bit puzzled, not understanding where Jiang Yong’s confidence came from. He seemed so fearless and unperturbed, as if he had tossed his life aside. Did he know what caliber of expert he was facing now? Did he realize that anyone around could crush him with a finger?
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu asked.
"Tell me, how did you persuade the Elder to enter the Bo Mansion?"
"It’s very simple."
Jiang Yong said with a smile, "We represent the Suo Family, here to form an alliance with the Bo Mansion."
"Alliance?"
He certainly knew of the Suo Family.
He and Zhuge Shi entered the Capital by hitching a ride with the Suo Family.
However... during his experiences at the Bo Mansion, he hadn’t spoken a word to anyone from the Suo family.
Fang Yu turned to look at Zhuge Shi beside him, and the latter shrugged, clearly having had no further contact with the Suo Family’s young master.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yong began to speak eloquently, turning his back on Fang Yu and pacing left and right.
"There’s something you might not be aware of, Lord, that I’ve observed this morning: there are clear signs of fighting at the Bo Mansion, and the range of destruction is not small."
"Then I discovered that a convoy from the Bo Mansion hurriedly departed early this morning. According to Brother Suo, leading the convoy were several of the mansion’s young masters."
"Putting the two together, it can be inferred that the Bo Mansion is in trouble."
Jiang Yong smiled at this moment, looking at Fang Yu.
"What does a family need when it is in trouble?"
"I suppose it’s reinforcements?"
"So Brother Suo and I came with sincerity, eager to lend a hand to the Bo Mansion, even staking the credibility of the Suo Family. Naturally, the Elder of the Bo family would be willing to let us in."
"On the other hand, the two of us pose no threat to the Bo Mansion. If we were indeed enemies, it’s better to detain us for questioning rather than let us slip away in front of them, isn’t it?"
Fang Yu was very surprised.
Initially, he felt nothing towards this person, Jiang Yong, treating him like roadside weeds.
Now, he felt this person had a bit... a hint of the same feeling he got when he saw Huang Qixin at the Detective Workshop in Tianyuan Town.
Logical reasoning ability and mental agility were both impressive.
As for the Bo Mansion, there was naturally some oversight.
The event happened too suddenly last night, leaving many traces unprocessed, and information was inadequately sealed, making it easy for those snooping around to learn some details.
Based on clues and reverse deduction, Jiang Yong’s conclusion was quite normal.
And the behavior of the Third Elder at the entrance couldn’t be said to be faulty.
As Jiang Yong mentioned, whether friends or foes, first trick them into coming in.
If they are enemies, detain them and subject them to severe interrogation. If they are friends, it adds to their combat strength, with the potential support of the Suo Family’s influence, increasing the possibility of overcoming the difficulties.
But with all this in consideration, one question remains.
"With such thorough thinking, it must be clear to you that entering the Bo Mansion at this moment is nearly entering a scenario of certain death. We have no reason to leave you alive unless you are genuinely representing the Suo Family to reinforce us. So... are you?"
Reinforcement from one family’s influence to another requires comprehensive consideration, something that cannot be decided in a short time.
Thus, when these two claimed to represent the Suo Family, the credibility was low. The Third Elder likely meant to capture them as potential enemies, as evidenced by dispatching a captain responsible for detaining their group.
"Yes, and no. It depends on Brother Suo’s intention; I’m just the messenger, haha!"
Jiang Yong changed his tone and handed the metaphorical microphone to the client behind him.
The eyes of Fang Yu and the others then turned to Suo Ru. Meanwhile, Zhuge Shi lingered a while longer, with a bit of curiosity, gazing at Jiang Yong.
With a lady’s gaze on him, Jiang Yong immediately straightened his chest, posing as a suave gentleman. Unfortunately, this attention quickly shifted away, and he stopped pretending.
At this time, Suo Ru spoke.
"I represent the Suo Family, willing to help the Bo family through this crisis, but on one condition..."
Suo Ru looked at Fang Yu.
"I need the Bo Mansion to hand over the remnants of the Absolute Sect."
Fang Yu was stunned.
The Absolute Sect?
Was this guy here for the disciples of the Absolute Sect?
Luckily, Hei Ao and the others were already sent away. Otherwise, given their injured state, facing Suo Ru, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Jiang Yong beside him wanted to cover his face.
This big brother really had a way with words; fortunately, he was prepared for a mortal risk before entering the Bo Mansion.
Yes, Jiang Yong was not afraid of death.
The reason is quite simple, the money promised by Suo Ru arrived in his pocket two days ago, and he had already found a player to sell it for a price! Thus, they took a few days to find this place.
Without first securing the condition of the payment, he’d dare not follow the foolhardy endeavor into the lion’s den.
Luckily, the foolhardy leader only required finding the person, not necessarily safely.
Here they were, right in front of them, but what happened afterward was none of his business.
Although Jiang Yong omitted some key reasoning, Fang Yu’s perception of Jiang Yong’s gaze suggested that he had some hidden agenda in mind.
