Chapter 907 - 725: The Yangtze’s New Waves Push the Old Forward (Part 2)

He grabbed Huai Shi’s hand, pleading in a low voice, "Just do it for the hybrids of the Tanbo Inner Circle."

"..."

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, unable to suppress his doubts, "You escaped from the hospital just for this? What do the people of the Tanbo Inner Circle have to do with you?"

In the silence, Liu DongLi said helplessly, "If I told you that if I let go and do nothing, eventually all the hybrids of the Tanbo Inner Circle would be slaughtered, leading Green Day to counterattack the Astronomical Society, submerging half of Yingzhou, and advancing the prologue of the war between realms at the end of the year... I came here to save the world and prevent war, would you believe me?"

"What do you think?" Huai Shi glanced at him, "To be honest, I’m actually an Element of Destruction myself, maybe in the end I’ll have to destroy the world too, want to kill me to save the trouble?"

"...I’m not joking."

"Neither am I," Huai Shi said seriously, "I’m very serious."

Liu DongLi was furious, "So are you going to help me or not?"

"Because of a lie, you betray the Astronomical Society? For a bunch of irrelevant people, risking your life? Headstrong enough to do something that would offend everyone even if you succeed?"

Huai Shi was also angry, sneering, "Am I that stupid?"

Liu DongLi said nothing, just looked at him silently.

For a long, long time, Huai Shi looked away.

The smile gradually faded.

"Damn." He cursed under his breath.

Liu DongLi raised his hand, bringing the handcuffs to him.

Huai Shi reluctantly glanced, and looked again, sighed, closed his eyes, and unlocked them for him.

"Admit it, you’re just a hopelessly good person, totally hopeless, absolutely hopeless."

Liu DongLi whistled, his eyebrows raised with excitement, hooked his arm, "Don’t worry, I’m now the ’daughter’ of the Alliance President, I’ll back you up, we’ll rise up in the Extreme Path and reach the peak of life..."

"Rely on you? I’d rather go to Hell and find Little Cat to be the Prince of Paradise!"

Huai Shi rolled his eyes, couldn’t help but ask, "Is it related to the Feuerbach Mansion incident?"

Liu DongLi’s movements paused for a moment, shrugged slightly.

"If you say it’s related... I guess it is, let’s just say it’s me utilizing my residual heat."

He put the wig back on, adjusted his disguise, transformed into a stunningly beautiful lady, his eyes seductive and captivating.

Huai Shi was utterly dumbfounded.

"What are you looking at, aren’t you a lady too!" Liu DongLi snorted coldly, "Don’t laugh at others when you’re not better off!"

Huai Shi couldn’t be bothered with him, directly asked, "What’s going on with Tobio Lihua?"

"It’s just the old man’s daughter, who’s staying fine in America, hidden by the old man."

"Then the Old Man Tobio... is he reliable? Do you trust him that much?"

"Before I joined the Astronomical Society, I mingled in Yingzhou for a while, he was quite reliable—" mentioning this, Liu DongLi inexplicably sighed, "In short, there is no suspicion on him. I didn’t tell him your identity, remember not to slip up."

Mentioning Old Liu’s ’unmentionable’ past, Huai Shi was suddenly wide awake, eyes shining, moved closer to ask in a low voice, "Then the Great Commander of Green Day with you... ahem, between you, father and son..."

Liu DongLi gave him a glare, "Are you checking the household register?"

"Isn’t this asking you for a favor!" Huai Shi whispered, "You’re now the Eldest Young Master of Liangshan, could you put in a good word for me?"

"Unluckily, there are more than one hundred and eight young masters in ’Liangshan’, and it’s not even my turn. Besides, if my words were truly effective, do you think Red Gloves would have backstabbed me back then?"

Old Liu took one last look through the warehouse, uncertain if he was disappointed or relieved, and with a complicated expression beckoned to him, "Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll talk later, and..."

Before leaving, his footsteps paused for a moment.

Tobio Lihua adjusted her hairstyle, looked back with a coquettish smile, red lips gently parting, "You won’t be sleeping tonight, Huaizhi-kun~"

In the deathly silence, Huai Shi looked at him expressionlessly:

"— Baldy, crawl for grandpa!"

.

.

When Miss Lihua returned to the banquet hall, everyone couldn’t look away.

She seemed to have gone through some intense exercise, her steps slightly unsteady, a few disordered strands of hair stuck to her face with sweat, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes swirling with an indescribable allure, her every movement exuding even more charm.

The luxurious gown still bore tiny wrinkles, and the misplaced waistband...

Just one look, and one could discern the fatigue and satisfaction...

In the sudden dead silence, everyone was dumbstruck, the sound of jaws dropping incessantly.

Damn it, what the hell did you do secretly!

Those anguished and wrathful gazes were like sharp blades, piercing through the Huai Zhisu who followed behind. Countless flames of jealousy burned fiercely, from those dark pupils.

Huai Shi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, utterly despairing of this world.

And Tobio Lihua, as if nothing had happened, returned to her father’s side, smiling as she responded to his questions.

"Now that you are at least Old Man Tobio’s daughter, please mind your reputation, okay?"

The Old Man Tobio’s smile was full of ’spoiling’ and ’kindness’, sneaked a glare at this fellow when no one else saw, asked in a low voice, "Have you figured it all out?"

"It’s not the Arakawa Family." Lihua answered.

"It’s not?"

Tobio was stunned for a long time, couldn’t hide his astonishment, after a while, muttered in a low voice, "If that’s the case... there shouldn’t be any other possibility for God City Future’s whereabouts."

After pondering for a moment, he asked quietly, "Are you... sure?"

"Since we’re here, why not give it a try?" Lihua answered with a smile, "After all, time is on our side."

Tobio thought for a moment, nodded.

"Alright." He said, "Then let’s give it a try."

Just after the warm conversation of fatherly love and daughterly affection ended, Lihua rose and retreated, and Tobio’s smile gradually faded. When he looked at the core members of the Alliance in the hall, his expression became stern and cold.

The originally low hum of conversation quickly subsided.

The beasts sensed a different kind of implication, sniffed out a certain scent of danger, and in the deathly silence, everyone lowered their heads, waiting for the president’s instructions.

Until a voice echoed from high above.

"As the leader elected by the Alliance, I, an old man, certainly cannot do nothing; I must achieve something to repay everyone’s long-standing support.

So, I think it would be better to..."

Tobio thought for a moment and said earnestly, "We’ve eaten, we’ve drunk, so let’s strike while the iron is hot and do some after-dinner exercise!"

Pausing for a moment, the freshly-minted Alliance President issued his first order: "Summon all personnel, bring all the weapons, and prepare thoroughly—"

"—Tonight, raid the Iron King Party Headquarters!"
