Lu Chengchuan steered the boat back along the original route, and the sailboat ran wildly along the traces left more than two months ago.
After a few days, the ship returned to the same position as it had been at the beginning.
Even here, Lu Chengchuan did not stop. He controlled the boat and rushed all the way to Xunxing City. Soon the noise he made was discovered by the scouts of the fortress.
A group of soldiers rushed out to stop them, but they didn't know who was on the boat.
Lu Chengchuan wasn't the type to make a big splash. In Xunxing City, only high-ranking officials had seen him, and that was only once every five years. The middle and lower-level officials had no idea what he looked like, let alone the soldiers.
The scouts didn't know Lu Chengchuan, but fortunately they had special military certificates.
The team leader produced a certificate and said they were carrying out a special mission.
After confirming the authenticity of the proof, the scouts dared not stop it anymore, and the "spaceship" continued to move towards Xunxing City.
The 'spaceship' rushed all the way to Xunxing City. When it came back, the captain of the soldiers contacted Luke with a super communicator. Knowing that the city lord had returned, they hurried to the city gate to greet him.
The boat stopped by the city wall. Lu Chengchuan jumped off the boat, and Luke and others ran up.
"Take good care of the soldiers in the search team and make arrangements for them. Also, contact the other search teams and ask them to come back. If you can't contact them, send someone to look for them."
Lu Chengchuan came down and told Luke to handle the follow-up matters.
The survivors of Team 8 have made great contributions and must be arranged properly. The search team outside must also be found. Leave these tasks to Luke. He has more important things to deal with.
He returned to the mansion with the artifact. When Raya learned that her teacher had returned, she hurried over.
As soon as Raya entered the office, she saw the teacher holding a metal ball in his hand. The teacher was sitting on a chair, and Chiron was standing beside him. They were staring at the object in their hands, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.
She had never seen the teacher look at something so seriously before. What was the use of this thing that she had been looking for for decades?
"Teacher, what is this?" Raya asked directly.
"This is my key to go home."
Lu Chengchuan didn't even raise his head, his scorching gaze seemed to want to see two holes in the artifact.
go home?
Raya's expression froze for a moment. She couldn't understand why this thing was related to the teacher's return home. A key... who would make a key like this?
"You've arrived just in time. Call them all to the meeting room. I have something to announce."
He looked away, Raya had arrived just in time, and he had something to tell her.
Raya wanted to ask more, but the teacher was pressing her so hard that she had no choice but to go out and find a communicator to ask all the senior officials of Xunxing City to go to the conference room.
"How long will it take to complete the energy tower?"
"Master, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed in three years." Chiron had already calculated the time.
On the ship back, they had already planned how to repair the artifact.
Build an energy absorption tower and input the absorbed energy into the artifact, allowing the artifact to complete self-repair and replenish the energy to start the artifact.
“Dang! Dang! Dang…”
As they were talking, nine bells rang out. The moment the bells rang, Lu Chengchuan stood up.
In the conference hall, the sudden order left everyone puzzled. This was especially true for several high-level superpowered individuals. For decades, they had never seen the City Lord initiate a meeting, and the City Lord rarely paid any attention to them.
This happened so suddenly that they were all unsure of what to do.
"Is everyone here?"
Just as everyone was whispering, a calm voice sounded above their heads. When they heard it, they quickly shut their mouths, stood up, and bowed to the seats on the second floor of the conference hall.
"I called you here to do something..."
As Lu Chengchuan spoke, a thick blueprint flew in front of several officials.
"I need you to gather the craftsmen and construct this building. It will be located on the No. 8 Super Energy Mine. After this meeting, all operations at the No. 8 Mine will cease completely. All departments must act immediately."
As soon as Lu Chengchuan finished speaking, the conference hall fell silent and the officials did not dare to speak.
The Interior Minister and several others examined the blueprints. The thickness of the drawings and the complexity of the construction indicated this was no simple project. Furthermore, the location chosen was Mine No. 8, a large mineral vein that was only just beginning to be mined. If this were to stop, Xunxing City's finances would suffer.
"Sir, why is it built on Mine No. 8? Can it be moved to another location?"
After hesitating for a while, the interior minister finally plucked up the courage to ask the city lord to change the location of the building.
If the site was not at Mine No. 8, he would be nothing, but the interests involved in the mine were too great, and he did not want to waste a large mine in vain.
When he heard that he was asked to change seats, Lu Chengchuan's eyes instantly fell on that person.
"Do you think I'm negotiating with you? This is an order. If you can do it, do it quickly. If you can't, get out of here. Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Chengchuan was blunt, and this remark made the officials present lower their heads even lower.
"Your name is Ospar, right? The third Internal Affairs Officer. Why did you change positions? Is it because the head of Mine No. 8 is your nephew, and he makes you a lifetime's worth of money every year?"
Lu Chengchuan's tone was extremely cold. When Ospar heard it, his heart couldn't help but jump.
He was obviously doing it very secretly...how could it be...
"Do you think I don't know? There's nothing in Xunxing City that I don't know."
The cold words hit Ospa's heart heavily. The huge pressure made him dizzy. He didn't dare to speak. He knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground.
"I didn't bother to take care of you before, and now you're dragging your feet when I ask you to do something." Lu Chengchuan gave him a cold look, then looked away: "Luke, arrest all the members of their family. Don't let any of them escape."
"Yes, sir!"
Luke stood up and left his seat, immediately leading the team to arrest the man.
"My lord, I was wrong! Please spare my life, I was wrong!" Upon hearing this order, Ospar's eyes went dark and he felt as if the sky was falling.
Ten minutes ago, he was still in the internal government of Xunxing City, holding a high position of power. Now, he was about to be thrown into prison.
This huge gap almost made him collapse. Ospa didn't dare to get up. He kowtowed again and again in fear, begging for forgiveness from the city lord.
But before he could say much, several guards came up and took the man away.
The internal affairs officials watched all this and their hearts were filled with fear.
The Interior Minister was their leader, but in less than five minutes, he became a prisoner.
After the internal affairs officer was taken away, Raya looked at the teacher. It was the first time she saw such a strong teacher. In the past, the teacher always looked indifferent.
"I usually don't bother to pay attention to you. Do you really think I don't want to care about anything? Or have you all forgotten who is the master of this city?"
Lu Chengchuan was still beating the remaining people, while the others lowered their heads and didn't dare to kick.
