Chapter 168: Overt Conspiracy vs Conspiracy
Originally, Stanway thought that Lu Kai, who had stopped exercising, wanted to talk to him, but he didn't expect that Lu Kai would ignore him and directly start the next exercise, which made Stanway feel greatly insulted.
However, Lu Kai still ignored Stanway. After installing fishing lines on both fishing rods, he used fish hooks to hook the huge iron balls with a diameter of one meter in the two pits on the left and right.
Lu Kai stood between the two iron balls, and then he exerted force with both hands and actually fished up the iron ball with the fishing line. After that, Lu Kai laid flat his hands holding the fishing rod to bear the huge weight from the iron ball.
Now everyone was even more dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?
This is a huge iron ball with a diameter of one meter, and each weighs three or four tons. Now Lu Kai actually caught two at the same time with the most ordinary fishing rod and fishing line.
However, some experienced generals felt that the Armament Haki was entangled on the fishing rod and the fishing line. What Lu Kai was doing now was exactly the way he trained his Armament Haki on a daily basis. Only the Armament Haki that could catch the iron ball with an ordinary fishing line was a good Armament Haki.
"Lu Kai, is this how you treat your subordinates? Don't you even have the most basic respect? What qualifications do you have to be a lieutenant general? What qualifications do you have to manage G1?" Stanway didn't care about anything else at this moment and yelled at Lu Kai.
Lu Kai didn't move, but Xiaolong, who was also training in the training room, moved.
You dare to yell at Lulu? I'll beat you to death.
Fu Ya on the side grabbed Xiaolong and shook her head to signal her not to act rashly. Seeing Xiaolong's reaction, Lu Kai couldn't help but laugh and immediately put down the fishing rod.
Then he teleported in front of Xiaolong and Fuya, first touched Xiaolong's little head, and then blinked at Fuya.
Finally, Lu Kai turned his head and looked at Stanway, raised the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly and said: "What kind of expression do you want me to show to a guy who keeps wandering around in the dark, making trouble, and sowing discord, and now even brings his subordinates to force the emperor to abdicate without caring about the consequences?"
Stanway choked when he heard this and looked at Lu Kai in disbelief. He didn't expect that Lu Kai would point out everything he had done behind his back during this period so directly, without any regard for his face or the impact that such direct words would cause.
Lu Kai's sudden action of overturning the table directly threw Stanway off his feet. Stanway's move to force the emperor out today was not impulsive or brainless. On the contrary, he had thought it over carefully and it was a very smart move.
In front of so many subordinates, facing Stanway's moral blackmail, if Lu Kai fails to handle it well, his dignity may really be lost.
How could Lu Kai, a 16-year-old kid with no experience, know how to deal with it? Once Lu Kai and his subordinates had a rift, Stanway's goal would be very likely to be achieved.
But what Stanway didn't expect was that Lu Kai actually knew everything he had done, and now Lu Kai pointed it out directly and mercilessly in front of all his subordinates.
Just a few words turned the situation unfavorable to Stanway.
"You..." Stanway's chest heaved violently, but Stanway was an old hand after all.
After a while, Stanway calmed down, but he still questioned Lu Kai: "Lieutenant General Lu Kai, you said that I was colluding with others, making trouble, and sowing discord, and brought my subordinates to force the emperor to abdicate. Do you have any evidence?
"As a lieutenant general and the person in charge of the G1 Fortress, you must be responsible for what you say and bear the consequences for what you say."
"Evidence? Hahaha!" Lu Kai laughed contemptuously, "Aren't all the people you brought here witnesses?
"It's impossible that you don't have any communication or contact in private, and you all appear here at the same time because of tacit understanding, right?"
"Even if we have had private contact, it was caused by you!" Stanway continued to be sharp, "It was because you, Lieutenant General Luke, came to G1 and ignored everything and did nothing except training. Then you left the fortress and went home to visit your family for two months.
"Your subordinates are very dissatisfied with your actions, so they spontaneously organized themselves to ask you for an explanation, because your actions are harming G1. If you continue like this, G1 will soon become a mess, and as the first person in charge of G1, you must bear the main responsibility."
Lu Kai suddenly seemed to understand something and said, "So this is what Lieutenant General Stanway was thinking."
But his mood was not affected by Stanway's words at all. Instead, he went back to the fishing rod, picked up the fishing rod and continued to hang the iron ball.
Xiaolong and Fuya glared at Stanway fiercely, then walked to Lu Kai and stood on his left and right sides.
At this time, Lu Kai continued, "Lieutenant General Stanway, you are right. Because I am the base commander of G1, I am the first person responsible for everything in G1. I am responsible for anything that happens.
“So, Stanway is planning to leave an impression in the minds of the officers today that I, Lu Kai, am the culprit of all the chaos.
"Then in the following days, you can do whatever you want and secretly mess up G1, and then put the blame on me, saying that it was all caused by me, and let me take all the responsibility, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Stanway suddenly shouted with a ferocious look on his face.
His entire face was flushed red, and his emotions were extremely strong.
Stanway could never have imagined that his conspiracy would be directly revealed by Lu Kai in public. He had never expected this at all.
What does a conspirator fear the most? The most feared thing is that his conspiracy will be exposed in public.
Stanway could never have imagined that Lu Kai, who was only 16 years old, would see through all his tricks at a glance and reveal them in front of everyone in such an unconditional way.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Lu Kai said coldly, "Then let me ask you, during the time I've been here at G1, have I changed anything about G1? Have I made any drastic reforms? Have I issued any orders?
"No, the only change in G1 in the past two months is the addition of me, a lieutenant general. Apart from a few personnel changes, there are no other changes at all!"
Without waiting for Stanway to answer, Lu Kai continued, “I also made it very clear at the previous general meeting, what it was like before G1 is what it is now.
"Stanway's authority and jurisdiction have not changed at all because of my arrival. You are still in charge of all matters, big or small, and your former subordinates are still the ones who assist you in handling matters.
"Then if things really get messed up, there is no other explanation except that you, Stanway, deliberately made things messed up to discredit me. You did this to squeeze me out, right? Because my current position was originally yours."
Lu Kai stared at Stanway, who was shaking with anger, with disdain in his eyes.
