"Patriarch Lu, something has suddenly come up in my affairs, and I can no longer protect the Lu family. The money is in this bank card; I haven't touched it..."
"Patriarch Lu, I'm so sorry, but I've suddenly had some things to attend to. The martial arts tournament is about to begin, and I need to make some preparations..."
Soon, the martial arts masters recruited by the Lu family arrived one after another, some of them speaking politely.
“Grandmasters, there are some dissatisfactions regarding the treatment. We can discuss this further…” The Lu family patriarch remained silent, but a high-ranking member of the Lu family quickly spoke up.
"Patriarch Lu, your Lu family is trying to kill us! You didn't tell us beforehand how powerful your enemies are. We heard that just now, ten martial arts grandmasters from the Mo family in Shenzhen fell, including several experts at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm. Even Wei Donglai, who is at the late-stage of the Transformation Realm, didn't dare to intervene..."
A martial arts master with a bad temper snorted and said.
"That's right, Patriarch Lu, we can't accept this mission. If we accept it against an enemy of that strength, we'll just be throwing our lives away..."
A martial arts master nodded and said.
Although the Lu family paid them a considerable amount, it was nothing compared to their lives.
"this……"
Seeing these martial arts masters speak so bluntly, some of the Lu family's higher-ups were speechless for a moment.
The main problem is that these martial arts masters are not ordinary people. They can't force the other party to stay and protect the Lu family, can they?
If that's the case, even if the other party is willing to protect them, they wouldn't dare to stay. Who knows if the other party will turn out to be a dog guarding its master or a wolf that eats people?
"Grandmasters, this matter was our Lu family's fault. We Lu family did not expect that Qingyun Company was so powerful. Otherwise, we Lu family would not have offended them in the first place..." At this moment, the head of the Lu family spoke.
Upon hearing the words of the Lu family patriarch, the expressions of those martial arts masters softened.
The Lu family patriarch is right. If the Lu family had known about Qingyun Company's strength earlier, they probably wouldn't have offended them. So it seems the Lu family didn't intentionally set them up.
If possible, they would not want to fall out with the Lu family.
After all, the Lu family is still a large family with enormous power, and it's not necessarily true that they will be destroyed by Qingyun Company in the future. It's better not to offend such a force.
"We, the Lu family, dare not stop you all from leaving, but I have a request that I hope you will grant," the Lu family patriarch said thoughtfully.
"What are the requirements?" a martial arts master asked.
Other martial arts masters also came to watch.
"I hope that you grandmasters can take some of our Lu family's disciples with you and leave..." the Lu family patriarch said, looking at these martial arts grandmasters.
"What?"
"This matter?"
Some martial arts masters' expressions changed slightly.
The information they just received was not only about the annihilation of the Mo family and the fall of ten martial arts masters, but also about the pursuit and killing of some Mo family members. One of the martial arts masters was killed during the pursuit of the Mo family members.
"no."
I disagree.
"Patriarch Lu, are you aware that Qingyun Company is hunting down the remaining members of the Mo family?"
Some martial arts masters quickly shook their heads and refused.
Perhaps their actions were more discreet, and given that they had acted so far in advance, and that the other party was currently far from the capital and probably not very aware of what was happening here, they should be fine. However, they did not want to risk their lives.
Leaving aside whether the other party could kill them on the spot, just consider this: if the other party finds out about this and retaliates against them later, how will they defend themselves?
"Therefore, I can triple the rewards that you grandmasters originally agreed upon!" The head of the Lu family said again, looking at these martial arts grandmasters.
"this……"
Some martial arts masters hesitated again.
If the amount triples, that's hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, a Grandmaster at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm could get 900 million.
This is the amount of money that many large companies and enterprises may not be able to earn in several years.
It must be said that people die for money, and birds die for food. Even if they are martial arts masters, as long as they are still in this world, they cannot escape the word "profit".
Such a large sum of money has already tempted them greatly, and they are willing to take some risks. For example, when the Mo family tripled the reward, some martial arts masters chose to take the risk even though they knew that there were nine martial arts masters from Qingyun Company visiting them.
"Masters, rest assured, this matter is highly confidential, and you only have three days. After one day, you will be abroad..." Seeing the martial arts masters' excited expressions, the Lu family head quickly continued.
"We'll be abroad in just one day?" Some martial arts masters' eyes lit up.
The capital city is 3,000 kilometers away from Shenzhen. Now that Qingyun Company has wiped out the Mo family, their goal is clear. They may not come to the Lu family immediately. If they can delay for just one day, they will arrive abroad.
They simply didn't believe that Qingyun Company, no matter how powerful, could extend its reach overseas.
Three days and hundreds of millions of dollars are enough for them to take this risk.
"Okay, I agree."
Soon, several martial arts masters nodded in agreement.
“Patriarch Lu, the fewer people there are, the smaller the target. Since so many Grandmasters have already agreed, they should be more than capable of protecting the safety of some of the Lu family members. I won't get involved…”
Some martial arts masters were unwilling to get involved and bowed in refusal.
However, what he said made sense. The fewer people there are, the smaller the target is. The number of martial arts masters who agreed is already about right. The Lu family didn't expect all the martial arts masters to agree anyway.
Moreover, the head of the Lu family was hoping that after these martial arts masters who refused to agree left the Lu family, he could use them to promote himself, attract attention, and mislead outsiders.
Therefore, after exchanging a few polite words with these people, the head of the Lu family saw them off.
The money was left behind, but the Lu family did reward these people, after all, they had been here for so long and taken so many risks.
The head of the Lu family gave each of these martial arts masters one million, and the master at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm two million. This was not to say that these martial arts masters came for nothing. However, these rewards were far less than the hundreds of millions of rewards they had previously agreed upon.
It is far less than the hundreds of millions or even billions of rewards offered to other martial arts masters who agreed to stay.
Some martial arts masters even felt a little regretful, but after thinking about their lives, they didn't say anything more.
Soon, these martial arts masters left the Lu family.
Then, a message spread.
In the past two days, the martial arts masters who came to the Lu family left after hearing about the Mo family in Shenzhen.
The Lu family is in a very bad situation right now.
An hour later, in a hidden tunnel belonging to the Lu family, the group left and headed abroad.
