Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 249: The Opportunity to Establish Yourself as Longxia’s Number One

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Opportunity to Establish Yourself as Longxia’s Number One
Didn’t expect that.
Liu Qinghe kindly offered advice, but Bai Yunzong just exploded.
"What do you mean, Liu Qinghe? That Lu Ran killed my son!" Bai Yunzong roared.
"I know, but the matter hasn’t been fully investigated yet, right? Why did the fight even start, and besides, you know Lu Ran’s status, don’t you? He’s a reserve member of the Four Major Guilds alliance..." Liu Qinghe continued.
"Bullshit! I don’t care who he is, if he dared to kill my son, I must grind his bones to dust!" Bai Yunzong cursed, cutting Liu Qinghe off.
This is what being a real father means.
Their personalities are indeed similar; just like Bai Lei, losing all rationality in an instant.
They are both from major families in the Imperial Capital.
But such families in the Imperial Capital aren’t just a handful.
What they do is somewhat similar, and Lu Ran’s identity has been investigated.
Reserve member of the Four Major Guilds alliance!
With such a status, can you move him?
"But if you go after Lu Ran, how will you handle the Four Major Guilds?" Liu Qinghe asked.
"Hmph, just a rookie Professional after all. Even if he has some skills, he can’t act so blatantly! Do you think the Four Major Guilds will sever ties with the Bai Family over a Lu Ran?" Bai Yunzong asked.
Ugh...
Liu Qinghe was dumbfounded.
Has Bai Yunzong lost his mind?
What concept is the Four Major Guilds?
Though they don’t interfere directly with the major families in the Imperial Capital, there are some interactions between them.
And to be honest, the Four Major Guilds are much more powerful than these families.
How many high combat professionals does a family have? How many members?
Not to mention the Four Major Guilds, any single one of them could wipe out the Bai Family!
Bai Yunzong has lost his mind but seems to genuinely believe the Four Major Guilds wouldn’t turn against the Bai Family over a rookie.
Liu Qinghe fell silent.
He hadn’t finished what he was saying.
Lu Ran isn’t just a talented reserve member of the Four Major Guilds; he’s also the champion of the Hundred Cities League, and he single-handedly thwarted a monster siege, saving the entire Imperial Capital!
Doesn’t Bai Yunzong know about the monster siege?
Liu Qinghe looked at Bai Yunzong curiously.
Because if he knew, he would understand how formidable Lu Ran is.
A single person stopped a level six monster siege!
That kind of power, let alone the Bai Family, even the entire Imperial Capital combined might not match up!
Such strength almost transcends the Professional category.
But seeing Bai Yunzong’s current stance, he probably really doesn’t know.
"Liu Qinghe, give me a hand. Your Liu Family’s industries are spread throughout the Imperial Capital. I want you to spread the word, and help me intercept Lu Ran. I will not treat you unfairly when it’s done!" Bai Yunzong suddenly said to Liu Qinghe.
Liu Qinghe was taken aback.
He looked at Bai Yunzong, his liver was trembling.
What kind of international joke is this!
"Forget it, Brother Bai, I won’t get involved." Liu Qinghe directly refused.
This definitely can’t be agreed to.
This would be jumping into a firepit!
"What? Do you not even have this little bit of courage? Who in the Imperial Capital doesn’t know the Liu Family and the Bai Family are on good terms, and now my son is dead and you, the Liu Family, plan to do nothing? Do you want our collaborations to continue? Do you know what impact not collaborating with the Bai Family will have on you?" Bai Yunzong said with a cold laugh.
Shh~
Liu Qinghe stood up and said, "I’ll consider it."
With that, he turned and left, Bai Yunzong snorted coldly, not caring.
He believed Liu Qinghe would come to his senses.
In fact, Liu Qinghe was indeed a bit hesitant.
After returning home, darkness gradually fell.
Today’s Imperial Capital was extraordinarily eventful.
First was the battle for the Hundred Cities League championship, followed by Lu Ran’s sudden rise, and then the monster siege was singularly handled by Lu Ran.
Afterwards, Bai Lei was killed by Lu Ran.
What Liu Qinghe hesitated about was precisely the cooperation that Bai Yunzong mentioned.
The Liu Family and the Bai Family have cooperated for many years, their industries deeply entwined, and canceling the cooperation would indeed be a heavy loss for the Liu Family, making it a tough decision.
But now.
The situation was straightforward: If Liu Qinghe didn’t help Bai Yunzong deal with Lu Ran, the Bai Family would cancel all cooperation with the Liu Family.
But canceling the cooperation wouldn’t just affect the Liu Family; the Bai Family’s industries would also be heavily impacted.
It could be a lose-lose situation.
But Bai Yunzong, having lost his son, had clearly lost his sanity and was capable of such a self-destructive act!
"Damn it, isn’t this forcing me?" Liu Qinghe was frustrated.
He thought it over and decided to wait and see how things develop.
Just at this moment.
Word came from his subordinates.
Bai Yunzong had already declared on behalf of the Bai Family throughout the Imperial Capital that they would stop at nothing to kill Lu Ran!
Moreover, the news that Lu Ran killed Bai Lei was spreading across the Imperial Capital!
"This Bai Yunzong is really crazy, why couldn’t he do this quietly? Why make such a big public announcement, does he really think he can kill Lu Ran now?" Liu Qinghe was speechless.
After so many years of collaboration, how did he not realize Bai Yunzong had such a big problem?
At the same time.
In the Tianfu Society.
Shen Man was in the office discussing the current situation of the Tianfu Society with Lu Ran, giving him a general understanding.
Unexpectedly, the news reached them quickly.
"The Bai Family wants to kill you, and it seems they are quite determined." Shen Man said to Lu Ran.
"Understandable, after all, their son died. If they want to find me, let them come." Lu Ran said nonchalantly.
"With your strength, there’s naturally nothing to worry about." Shen Man shrugged, then added, "Just stay at Tianfu Society, the Bai Family wouldn’t dare to come here."
Lu Ran raised an eyebrow.
Asked, "Since President Shen said with my strength there’s nothing to worry about from the Bai Family, then why prevent the Bai Family?"
Shen Man said, "I’m not worried about you but about the Bai Family. Bai Lei was once a member of the Tianfu Society, and since this happened here, I don’t want the Bai Family to be wiped out by you, it would have a bad influence."
Lu Ran said, "But the matter needs to be resolved ultimately."
Shen Man replied, "Yes, it needs to be resolved, but with your current status, do you think you actually need to handle it yourself? This is an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Lu Ran looked at Shen Man and said, "What opportunity?"
"You killed Bai Lei and secured the top position in the Tianfu Society. Now, whether the Four Major Guilds or the higher-ups handle this, your status in Longxia will be publicized and stabilized; it’s much better than solving it yourself, and you won’t have to worry about public opinion."
Lu Ran hadn’t really considered these issues.
It was indeed somewhat complicated.
Next.
Shen Man stood up and called for his assistant.
He said, "Spread the news about today’s deadly fight between Lu Ran and Bai Lei. In our Tianfu Society, fairness and justice are paramount, Bai Lei didn’t die unjustly."
Apparently, Shen Man is quite adept at managing public opinion and knows the most appropriate course of action.
