Chapter 1116: Chapter 870, Birthday Cake (Happy New Year.) Chapter 1116: Chapter 870, Birthday Cake (Happy New Year.) The religious hero returned?
His actions were quite swift.
I felt a bit regrettable inside and continued asking, “Will it influence the judgment on our side?”
“One of the heroes, Saidu, will definitely have some influence on the overall decision. Wait and see the results!” Lilith replied calmly.
That is to say, his return could push the situation to develop unfavorably for us.
Wu Heng frowned slightly and simply nodded.
Lilith observed his expression, seeing that he was not too angry, she asked curiously, “Aren't you worried?”
“I am worried, but I've thought it through these past few days and it doesn't feel that serious,” Wu Heng said with a relaxed smile.
Lilith grew even more curious, “What are you thinking?”
Previously in their conversation, he cared about the association's attitude.
Now, meeting again today, he seemed to care less.
Pondering a little, Wu Heng said, “It's not easy for me to say, but since you asked, I can share some of my thoughts.”
Lilith nodded, “Feel free to say, I won't spread it out.”
Wu Heng leaned against the chair back, stretched lazily, and then said, “Actually, I've met the Dragon Leader of the Snake Badge Consortium and the Immortal Emperor once. I heard he has quite a large territory over there and Necromancers are more welcomed.”
Lilith's expression instantly turned serious, filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Although it was just mentioned in passing, she understood the implication.
If the association fails to make a fair decision on this matter, he could choose other factions.
Such as the Snake Badge Consortium or the Endless Desert.
The Dragon of the Snake Badge Consortium, recognized as the strongest hero, always acts decisively.
If he joined the Snake Badge Consortium, they would surely try to protect him.
Moreover, the Immortal Emperor is a representative of the Necromancy Sect, joining them, there wouldn't be any occupational prejudice.
This was something Lilith hadn't expected.
Not only him, but other leaders at headquarters probably hadn't considered this aspect either.
Historically, heroes cultivated by the association have never spoken such words or considered joining other factions.
But Wu Heng is different; he is free.
Beyond some basic protection, not much support or aid was provided.
After pondering for a while, Lilith finally spoke, “So, you're planning to leave?”
“I was just saying. Don't take it to heart, Leader,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
In fact, he hasn't really contacted those two powers.
He himself counts as a major client for the Snake Badge Consortium, while he has only heard the name of the Immortal Emperor and doesn't even know where he is located.
But mentioning them added some chips to his side.
If things really went that way, Wu Heng would indeed consider joining other factions.
Lilith couldn't even smile, feeling by Wu Heng's character, he might make such a decision.
“The headquarters will make a fair decision, there's no need to worry,” Lilith picked up a teacup, masking her uneasy mood.
“Of course, I trust the fairness of the headquarters,” Wu Heng nodded and then asked, “When can we expect the result?”
“It should be out in these next few days,” Lilith replied.
Wu Heng nodded, not discussing the matter further, and continued, “Leader, in the newly developed area on the west, no one has moved in yet, road conditions are pretty good, we should go ride motorcycles and race sometime!”
“Racing? Like a competition?” Lilith, not wanting to talk more about the association, asked curiously.
“Yeah, it's about riding on a designated racetrack to see who can go faster!” Wu Heng explained.
Lilith asked, “Racing against who?”
Wu Heng smiled awkwardly, “The two of us.”
“What's there to compete with then!” Lilith said unenthusiastically.
“Just a way to unwind during our free time,” Wu Heng said.
Lilith thought about it, feeling going for a motorcycle ride wasn't a problem, and agreed, “Alright, let's do that once this matter is resolved!”
“Sure!”
Then, the two continued talking about Slyther's situation.
As the day approached dusk, Wu Heng stood too and bid farewell.
“Leader, I'll head back now. I'll have someone install a phone for you in a couple of days, just call me directly then.”
Lilith, not quite sure what a phone was, just nodded, “Alright.”
Wu Heng waved his hand and directly left her residence.
…
After Wu Heng left.
Lilith's expression also immediately turned serious.
Although she didn't think Wu Heng was seriously considering leaving the association, his recent words had still served as a reminder to herself and the association.
Wu Heng is free, different from others bound to the association.
If he really felt that the association was unsuitable or if he faced unjust treatment, he could completely leave.
Having the strength of a hero, combined with his ability to innovate and improve various items.
Joining another faction shouldn't be difficult.
Ah~!
Lilith sighed softly.
The Holy Court had indeed been a bit too aggressive these past few years.
Of course, that involved both the Holy Court's actions and the association's laissez-faire attitude.
Sitting in the chair and pondering for a while, she took a lacquered box out from her Space Ring, showing a shriveled crow's body inside, pricked her fingertip and dripped blood onto the crow.
…
At the Steward Mansion.
Wu Heng's figure appeared in the courtyard, taking out two bunches of fresh flowers from his Space Ring.
“Xi Ligui, Shi Yali?”
Stepping into the building, he called out to the quiet living room.
Not back?
He had spoken with Shi Yali on the phone before going to Lilith's!
Wu Heng walked into the building, hearing rustling sounds, and with his Perception released, he could hear the faint discussion between two sisters.
