The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081: Chapter 854, My Heart is Beating So Fast Chapter 1081: Chapter 854, My Heart is Beating So Fast Lilith finished speaking, and Wu Heng fell silent.

There are two matters concerning the Holy Court. One is the conflict between the clergy and the local residents on Lighthouse Street, which resulted in the Guard Team arresting them at Wu Heng's command.

This incident was also the cause of the entire event.

The association implies that these local security events are not something headquarters will intervene in.

Lilith thought that after detaining them for so many days, imposing a fine would suffice.

The second matter is the Level 18 Church Knight's assault on him.

From the Church's attitude, they are still inclined to stand by him.

They recognized the attempt to assassinate an important association member, but the top leaders made this decision to encourage him to resolve the matter proactively.

To reduce the conflict between both parties.

However…

From the perspective of Gold and Silver Island, Wu Heng does not think letting them go is a good approach.

During his time away from Gold and Silver Island, the Church had constantly been testing limits more aggressively.

If he conceded again, he feared it would make them think he was weak.

“Leader, I feel that even if we release him directly, the Holy Court may not think about easing the relationship,” Wu Heng said.

“What you need now is time. Once your level is higher, these Level 18 professionals won't even qualify to stand before you,” Lilith said with expectations evident in her tone.

She was also signifying to him that the Level 18 professional is insignificant.

Their path is basically at its end, and Wu Heng needs to focus on leveling up rather than wasting time on these people.

The Holy Court has enough manpower to wear him down.

To drag it on until he is older, missing the best time to advance.

Wu Heng said, “I understand, I'll consult with Deacon Xi Ligui once the official order from the association comes through.”

“Let me know if there's anything urgent,” Lilith said again.

“Alright, thank you, Leader.”

“Mm.” Lilith acknowledged and then disconnected the communication.

Wu Heng also put the phone back.

Sitting by the side, Xiao Xiao asked curiously, “Uncle, are we going to release that villain?”

“It's hard to say for now, I'll discuss it with Xi Ligui's side when the time comes,” Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao sighed, “If only I could reach Level 20, I could help Uncle.”

Wu Heng smiled and caressed Xiao Xiao's head, “Xiao Xiao is already doing great. I've gotten through much with Xiao Xiao's help. Just let the level thing happen naturally, don't stress yourself too much.”

“Really? Did I really help much?” Xiao Xiao widened her eyes in surprise.

“More than anyone else.”

“I'm the great contributor.”

Wu Heng nodded with a smile, “Go play, I'll call you if we're going to Zombie World.”

“Give me the badminton racket; I'll teach them how to play badminton.”

Wu Heng took out the badminton racket and cautioned, “We can't fix this body, so be careful with it, don't break it.”

“Don't worry!” Xiao Xiao exclaimed, grabbing the racket and running out quickly.

From the room, Xiao Xiao's voice could still be heard, “Robey, let's play badminton.”

After Wu Heng left the house.

He directly went upstairs, back to the study.

Glenda was reading a book, while Bella was at the window, watching Xiao Xiao and the maid playing badminton outside.

“Why the displeasure?” Glenda glanced over.

Wu Heng hummed a response, then sat down on a chair nearby, “The decision from the association is made, convicting that Level 18 Church Knight for the attempted assassination of an important association member.”

“That's a good thing!”

Glenda was already focusing on the book in her hand, casually responding.

Wu Heng stood up, took the book from in front of her, snapped it shut with a sound, and placed it aside.

Glenda glared, “So you're coming home to take it out on your woman, is that it?”

“Let's finish the serious discussion first.”

“Now I don't even remember which page I was on,” Glenda said somewhat resentfully, then continued, “What's the matter? The association making that decision stands on your side, what's there to be anxious about?”

Wu Heng directly repeated Lilith's words in detail.

“The idea is that the association deals with it normally, but Wu Heng needs to make appropriate compromises to resolve the conflict between the two parties.”

After listening, Glenda analyzed: “From my point of view, the headquarter's handling is faultless and is also to protect you. If you really killed that person, The Holy Court might react even more drastically. By then, instead of worrying about safety, you would be devoting more energy to dealing with them.”

If the conflict escalated to murder, it is uncertain whether The Holy Court would adopt a more direct approach against Gold and Silver Island.

The Holy Court is a colossal entity, and to them, Wu Heng is but a rising star without any solid backing.

Bella flew over and said, “How about revealing some of your strength? If Wu Heng publicly announces his level 19, that would definitely mark him as a genius, and headquarters would surely protect you.”

Glenda shook his head, “It's likely the Pope or Church Heroes would be the first ones to come. With such talent, how could they let you reach the status of a hero.”

Only a hero can kill a hero, this is a key piece of information.

And those who have reached the hero status would never allow an enemy to do the same.

Bella frowned, “Then better not mention it for now.”

Wu Heng spoke, “So, this matter is a bit tricky. Following the headquarters' arrangement, they'll think we're weak, but it's indeed not the right time to kill.”

“There's another point, if you don't act according to what headquarters wants, perhaps next time those leaders won't support you,” Glenda paused slightly, then continued, “Perhaps you can choose a middle ground, not kill him, but still make him pay a price.”

Wu Heng nodded, “There's still time, we need to think about it more.”

“Okay, sure!” both Ghosts nodded.

Wu Heng sat and pondered, while Glenda flipped through a book, looking for his previous spot.

Controlling the book, it rolled up and hit him on the head with a 'thud', he said irritated, “Dare to close my book again, and I'll smash your head.”

“Level bullying, huh.”

“I don't understand what you're saying,” Glenda replied, then continued flipping through the book.

In the afternoon, Lady Shanaira, Slyther, and Yuli came back from outside.

Mini and Yuli served tea and snacks to the three.

Wu Heng also came down from upstairs, “How was it?”

Yuli expressed surprise, “You want to build such a huge structure? That must cost a lot!”

Wu Heng puffed up his chest, “Don't you know what Island Master means? The entire Gold and Silver Island is mine.”

“Give me a house; I want to live here,” Yuli raised her arms high.

While she was speaking excitedly, she suddenly noticed her aunt's stern gaze and quickly lowered her hands.

Slyther said, “Lady Shanaira showed me the site and details of the decor, we still need to discuss it carefully.”

“Uh-huh, you guys go ahead and discuss,” Wu Heng nodded.

Then, Lady Shanaira and Slyther continued to discuss some details on the blueprint.

Wu Heng stayed nearby, not paying much attention to their conversation.

After a while, the plans were mostly finalized.

Slyther looked out the window, then said, “I will stay on the island for a few more days, we can continue to discuss it then.”

Lady Shanaira also nodded, “Yes, city hall is hiring staff these days, Money Cat, make a list of what kind of people you need, and we'll help recruit them for you.”

“Okay,” Slyther nodded, “Then I'll take Yuli back to the association first.”

Wu Heng said, “Stay for dinner before going back.”

“No, I have to visit the local steward at the association first,” Slyther stood up immediately.

“That works too,” Wu Heng saw that she had made plans, so he couldn't say much more, but thought for a moment and instructed, “If someone asks, say you're here for business. I do have some enemies, so it's best to be careful.”

“Understood,” Slyther nodded.

Yuli also stood up, “Wu Heng, shall we go shopping together tomorrow?”

“Let Mini take you shopping. Come back early, and I'll teach you how to play video games,” Wu Heng said.

“Sure!” Yuli readily agreed, then left the Island Lord's Mansion with Slyther.

After the two women left.

Wu Heng and Lady Shanaira sat in the living room and chatted for a while.

Not long after, Andre Willow and Annette also returned from outside.

They sat at the dining table for dinner.

Night fell, in the bedroom.

Lady Shanaira nestled in his arms, looked up, and asked, “What exactly is your relationship with Slyther and her? Why does it feel a bit unusual?”

Before Wu Heng could speak,

Lady Shanaira frowned, “Why, your heartbeat is so fast!”

“When I was in Black Stone Town, Slyther was the Vice-executive, and Yuli was my teammate, and our relationships were quite good,” Wu Heng directly said.
