Lu Jin's brow twitched. His voice was grave. "President Su, you've misunderstood! We have absolutely no such intentions... Or rather, if they do, I am firmly on your side!"
Lu Jin instantly pledged his loyalty. He knew all too well how ridiculous this supposed political gambit was.
'What's the use of capturing a single city? Unless you strike directly at the Daqian Imperial Capital, capture the Emperor of Daqian, and use him to command the Dukes... only then would it be worth discussing!'
He paused, then said, "The reason I came was just... to introduce you to this Mr. Zhu! After all, you expressed curiosity about him before... However, he seems to be in a hurry to see you this time..."
"Do you know what All-Powerful is doing to the Third District?" Chu Bamboo cut Lu Jin off directly, his words icy and solemn. "Are you truly prepared to sacrifice the entire Third District, and even the whole of Jinghai City?"
Dead silence filled the room.
