The Dragon Head contemplated the conditions Baiyu had proposed.
If he agreed, any unexpected events during the process could ruin the reputation that Longyuan had accumulated over many years.
If he didn't agree.
Baiyu would directly target the Underground Martial Artists, and both he and the various personnel of Longyuan would suffer greatly.
This was an extremely difficult choice.
Of course.
Having spent centuries in the Heart of Hell also made him see Baiyu in a new light; this person was a ruthless butcher.
Falling into his hands would definitely not end well.
The opponent clearly would do what he said.
This is also the difficult part for the Dragon Head.
But in the end, he figured it out.
Not agreeing.
Baiyu would surely adopt more radical measures, possibly leading to mutual destruction and chaos throughout Mountain City.
This was not something he wanted to see.
It wasn't that he cared about the lives of ordinary people and those Underground Martial Artists, but many of these Martial Artists naturally favored Longyuan and were potential members.
If Baiyu killed them, it would be a loss.
...
Inside the Anomaly Bureau.
Xu Qiu put down his teacup with a look of doubt: "Chief Bai, just like this, would the Dragon Head really agree?
Although centuries of torture in the Heart of Hell creeped him out.
However.
A Grandmaster Level Martial Artist with a firm will, combined with only experiencing dreams and fantasies influenced by the abilities of Extraordinary items, would not succumb to torture."
Baiyu shook his head and said: "I used the Heart of Hell on him merely to calm him down, allowing him to think from a reasonable perspective.
After all, his mind seems hard to change.
And maybe because he's indulged by those sycophants, he's overconfident, so ordinary yet so confident."
Baiyu spoke bluntly.
Xu Qiu thought about it, and it truly seemed to be the case.
"So he would agree once he calms down?"
"Yes, because if he doesn't agree, his situation will only become more difficult. It's human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and he will naturally know how to choose."
Baiyu was eighty percent sure that the Dragon Head would agree.
As for the remaining twenty percent.
It'll depend on luck.
Anyway, the purification action is bound to carry on; Baiyu couldn't accept living in a city with great hidden dangers.
This is a life-and-death matter.
Thus, purging the spies and parasites within the city, no one would dare refute or question it.
After hearing Baiyu's explanation, Xu Qiu nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, Chief Bai has considered things more thoroughly than us."
"Yes, for now, that's it. Keep an eye out, if the Dragon Head figures it out, inform me immediately.
I feel.
He should be able to weigh the pros and cons after a couple of days."
After instructing Xu Qiu, Baiyu left the Anomaly Bureau and headed to the Earl's Mansion.
...
Recently, Baiyu hardly managed the estate's development.
He also didn't know how his close friends were managing things here.
But with the Qiong Clan Elders overseeing and managing the Earl's Mansion, there shouldn't be any issues.
During this period.
He did neglect management a bit.
But ultimately, the title was given by the Qiong Family, the Earl's Mansion was under the name of the Qiong Earl.
Having the Qiong Family manage it was quite reasonable.
Baiyu already got enough from the Qiong Family; things like the Earl's Mansion and title were only temporary for him.
Once not needed in the future.
He planned to pass the title to a reliable descendant of the Qiong Family, which would be like extending the family's prosperity.
Of course.
This kind of operation would be quite difficult to implement; the Imperial opposes the transfer of noble titles.
But certainly, there's room for maneuvering.
Everything can be manipulated.
Once inside the Violet Count's Mansion, he bypassed the stone screen painted with landscape scenery at the main entrance, crossed the windy corridor to the main courtyard of the Earl's Mansion.
Which is Weide Hall.
In Weide Hall's yard, Shang Yufei along with several trusted Armored Warriors were talking to Qiong Xue about something.
The opponent was in bright silver armor, revealing a delicate face, appearing heroic and valiant.
A girl in such armor always has a peculiar allure.
"What are you staring at, improper."
Shang Yufei saw Baiyu's gaze, slightly blushed, then defiantly glared back, even subtly puffed out her chest.
Baiyu remained unfazed, skillfully changed the topic: "Where are you headed?"
Shang Yufei replied: "Collaborating with Chief He in activities to eradicate alien scouts and strongholds, virtually every vibrant organization in Mountain City is participating."
Veterans Mutual Aid Association is an official interest organization.
Ever since the previous president got injured and became a hands-off manager, Baiyu has always held the title of the association's president.
But he hardly managed it in daily affairs.
Over in Villiduo, Jie Ding from the Logistics Department is responsible, while in Mountain City, Shang Yufei governs.
With such talents.
Baiyu has no need to exert effort, enjoying being a hands-on manager with ease and comfort.
Perhaps this is a sort of legacy.
The president of the Veterans Mutual Aid Association is destined to have a laid-back quality.
"Leaving the city?"
"Yes, leaving the city." Shang Yufei nodded.
Baiyu furrowed his brow, "Be careful, the situation outside the city is severe, the alien force is rampant.
Last time in Heavy Fog Forest.
There were many alien strongholds.
This time you go out, you will surely clean up Heavy Fog Forest. Be cautious, very cautious, and I'll dispatch two Death Warriors to accompany you."
