Huo Lang never expected this. He had rushed over in a panic to warn Chu Sheng to flee, but his actions had backfired completely. Originally, they hadn't intended to pay any attention to the City Lord's Mansion's summons at all. They might have just turned around and found a quiet spot to tally their loot. Yet, after his earnest persuasion, they had actually decided to go.
Come to think of it, it made sense. Whether it was the Law Enforcement Team or the Eight Great Clans, anyone who dared to cause trouble for Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng would either end up dead or lose a layer of skin. They had dared to kill the Jiang Family Grand Elder and flatten the Law Enforcement Team Captain against a wall. Why would they care about a piece of paper from the City Lord's Mansion?! If they straight-up ignored the summons, there was absolutely nothing the City Lord's Mansion could do about it!
