Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 484: Chapter 255: Sea Lord and Long! _3
She Jian and his family had been captured by humans while hunting and fishing. Only She Jian managed to dive back into the sea when they tried to gut him on the boat.

Fortunately, there was a crevice in a rock nearby, where he hid and nursed his injuries, thereby saving his life.

Otherwise, with such severe injuries, the blood in the water would not only have drawn large predators.

Some small fish, as thin as hair, loved burrowing into such wounds and feasting on the flesh.

Hua Ji had also had a brush with death in his youth, coincidentally saved by a powerful human.

This made Hua Ji not particularly malevolent towards humans.

However, Hua Ji still obeyed the Lord of the Sea’s orders.

Other than secretly helping Lu City suppress several disastrous tsunamis, she had not formed any bonds with human powers.

She Jian had ample reasons to hate humans, so he was the most likely one to leak information about the young mistress of the Han Yang Empire.

By leveraging the power of the entire Sea Clan to oppose humans.

Humans were not fools, especially those from powerful organizations.

Those humans from great powers should be clear about what it entails kidnapping the young mistress of the Han Yang Empire.

They wouldn’t touch this hot potato.

So even if She Jian tells the humans this news, he certainly will not tell the truth.

Instead, he can use a deceptive tactic to trap those humans from powerful organizations.

Thinking of this, Hua Ji felt a surge of murderous intent towards She Jian.

“She Jian, I am going to enter seclusion. You will stay by my side during this time!”

She Jian was taken aback by these words.

Among Hua Ji’s subordinates, he was the strongest and should be the one leading the charge against human territory.

But why did Hua Ji choose to keep him now?

Could it be that Hua Ji discovered something?

Thinking this, She Jian immediately denied his speculation.

The entire Sea Clan had not yet communicated with Lu City, so it was impossible that his secret alliance with the two great families of Lu City had been exposed!

Till now, those two families are probably still being kept in the dark.

Unaware that the Sea Clan’s operation against Lu City was related to the information he leaked.

…

Within the Five Clans of Lu City, almost all talented individuals from the families had been dispatched.

Master Lu Zhong didn’t participate when they competed for the Silver-Blue Mystical Snake last time, so the final beneficiary was among the Five Clans of Lu City.

It was the same case now.

Only the Five Clans of Lu City were eligible to compete for the Guardian Beast similar to the Silver-Blue Mystical Snake.

None of the Five Clans was willing to yield to others, especially when such a precious Guardian Beast was at stake.

Even if one failed to acquire the Guardian Beast similar to the Silver-Blue Mystical Snake, they could still secure a bottle of Life Elixir with a purity of ninety-four percent.

If it weren’t for the many affairs needing attention within the family, which led to decreased profits from some of their industries within Lu City.

Family Heads like She Junjie, Wu Ge etc would also have personally braved dangers to join the competition.

After informing She Wan about the situation and having her relay it to Fang Mu, She Junjie felt relieved.

Since Fang Mu wanted to help Lu City through this crisis, he would undoubtedly look into this matter.

With his ability, She Junjie undoubtedly couldn’t handle the Gao Family and Zhao Family simultaneously.

She Junjie essentially shifted his pressure onto Fang Mu.

Wu Ge and He Kuan were busy dealing with their family affairs and prepared to rush for the rescue once they were done.

However, the family head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Junwei, was not at the Zhao family’s old house at this moment.

He was at the Gao family’s old house, conversing with Gao Hongying during such a critical time.

Zhao Junwei asked Gao Hongying with a solemn expression.

“Old Gao, don’t you feel there’s something off about the person from the Sea Clan who negotiated with us?”

“We caught the Aquatic Sovereign Beast, which we’ve never seen before, based on his information.”

“We were going to thank him after everything had been completed, but we used the communication method we had used with him.”

“And we couldn’t meet with him on the ship like before.”

“I always feel a bit uneasy about this negotiation with the Sea Clan!”

“This operation of the Sea Clan against Lu City doesn’t involve us, right?!”

Gao Hongying shouted angrily after hearing his words.

“Old Zhao, have your heart been muddled by lard? You even dare to speak such nonsense!”

“What does the Sea Clan’s attack on Lu City have to do with our two families?”

“If this gets out and some malicious people take it seriously and start spreading it.”

“Even if it has nothing to do with us, it will still be spread far and wide!”

“The rumors of other powers are often fabricated by their enemies. I don’t want the rumors about the Gao Family and Zhao Family to be started by you, the family head of the Zhao Family!”

When Zhao Junwei heard Gao Hongying’s words, he realized he misspoke. But his concerns didn’t lessen a bit.

This partnership was initiated by Gao Hongying, and Zhao Junwei didn’t personally negotiate with the Sea Clan member.

Therefore, he wasn’t as well-informed about that Sea Clan member compared to Gao Hongying.

Lack of information was also a reason for feeling insecure.

Just as Zhao Junwei was worrying about this, he heard Gao Hongying sigh.

“The Seafood Festival can’t be held as scheduled. After this disaster, Lu City will face reconstruction.”

“The Seafood Festival will be postponed for at least a year, and Jianmu will probably not show up at the festival’s venue.”

“We spent nearly twenty days searching in the sea before we caught the Guardian Beast. Initially, we planned to use it to draw Jianmu’s attention during the Seafood Festival.”

“Instead of deciding ourselves who should contract it, it would definitely bring more value to both our families if we give it to Jianmu!”

“Speaking of which, Jianmu is really generous. He threw out so many resources for the sake of Lu City’s safety!”

“Such a person would have seemed noble to me when I was a child, but now he seems like a fool.”

When Zhao Junwei heard these words, his eyebrows drew together again into a frown.

From the moment he knew Gao Hongying had arranged Gao Wenyuan to hook Jianmu, Zhao Junwei increasingly felt that his values and Gao Hongying’s didn’t match.

He felt that the cooperation between the Zhao Family and the Gao Family should not continue.
