CHAPTER 80: What is a Brother
"Although this person can be used and cooperated with, one must also be cautious. He undoubtedly wants to deal with Diwu Qingrou; but the reason remains unspoken. What's particularly strange is that he has no desire for power in his eyes. That is truly remarkable," pondered Iron Dragon City.
"Could it be related to that heavenly...?"
"Are you referring to... the trial? Yes, that's possible. However, that would mean your identity must remain concealed even more."
"But... it's been a long time since such legends appeared."
"Hurry up and have the intelligence personnel search across various regions for any strange yet powerful young individuals. If there are indeed some, and not just one; then we can be sure."
"Yes, but those individuals should also maintain their distance."
"Naturally; they can be used but must not be controlled!"
"This Chu Yang is an expelled disciple of Sky Tower." The girl pondered and slowly said, her voice as if about to break.
"An expelled disciple of Sky Tower? No way! Someone like that would be discarded by Wu Yunliang?"
"I also find it strange," the girl replied. "Moreover, I suspect that the person next to him might be from that place."
"The person next to him?"
"The young man beside him is also quite formidable. Furthermore, his origins seem even more mysterious than Chu Yang's; he just appeared out of nowhere."
"But regardless, he listens to Chu Yang; so we just need to observe how Chu Yang acts. Also, find a way to contact Wu Yunliang from Sky Tower. I want to ask him a few questions."
"Alright."
"Tell the Ministry of Justice to stop investigating the case of the notorious thief. Hahaha, after all the searching, if we do find something, it will still be you and I who have to clean up the mess."
"So Uncle has thought of this too." The girl flushed slightly; clearly, she was a bit naive regarding the coarse expression of "cleaning up the mess."
"Everyone has to clean up after themselves!" Iron Dragon City laughed heartily. But after he said this, the girl pondered for a moment, her eyes brightening. Although this statement was crude, it seemed to contain some profound meaning?
At a fork in the road, the girl and Iron Dragon City parted ways, waving her hand lightly as she floated away, turning a corner and disappearing from sight.
Iron Dragon City watched the girl disappear before he let out a gentle sigh; his gaze was filled with a touch of pity as he sighed heavily, murmuring, "The burden of Iron Cloud is truly hard to bear."
"Regardless of how heavy it is, as long as you are here, Marshal, Iron Cloud will always exist!" The deputy beside him spoke with deep respect, seemingly possessing unmatched confidence in Iron Dragon City.
"I am just a marshal, yet not..." Iron Dragon City shook his head, leaving the sentence unfinished, and called out, "Let's go back." He led the way. Not far ahead was the Heavenly Might Mansion, which was Iron Dragon City's residence.
The title Iron Dragon City held in the Iron Cloud Nation was: Prince of Heavenly Might!
"I am getting old and should give way to the younger generation." Iron Dragon City thought silently, then ordered, "From now on, for all military matters, regardless of their size, report them to me while also reporting to his royal highness the crown prince! As long as a full-scale battle does not erupt, do not expect me to make any more decisions. Old man... needs to rest for a few years."
"This..." Everyone nearby who heard him was astonished.
"The crown prince can hold it up." Iron Dragon City stated lightly. "If he cannot hold it up, then this country has no reason to exist." His words were laden with significance.
Iron Dragon City left, but his strict orders were not rescinded. At Chu Yang's place, there was still a large crowd watching, yet no one dared to step in.
However, the two people inside were not in a hurry at all. Approaching noon, Gu Duxing grabbed a handful of silver and went out, making large purchases. The table was filled with food and wine, and the two indulged heartily.
