Chapter 244 The storm is coming
The martial law for several consecutive days meant that the personnel changes in the East Leica Division Association did not cause much waves in the city.

"Today is the day."

In the president's office, Russell couldn't help but frowned slightly after taking a sip of the hot tea that Fulilian created out of thin air using magic.

Although this magic allows him to drink tea anytime and anywhere in the wild, the taste is really not good.

Russell put down the teacup in his hand without changing his expression, asked the ghost soldier to manually make a new pot of tea, and then picked up the mobile phone on the table.

【Russell: Tell me when you get there.】

【Liu Yu: OK.】

A few days ago, after learning that Liu Yu would come to Donglai to take over the position of director of the Secret Realm Office, Russell had already contacted the young man with a slicked-back hair and arranged a meeting place and time.

The scheduled time is today, and today happens to be the day when Donglai lifts martial law.

After all, there is no more to gain by continuing.

Ever since the incident that night, the Guiyi Sect has been hiding like a turtle again. Although the Association has successfully cleared out several of their strongholds, they are basically all limb-replacing monsters, and there are very few card makers, not to mention the several main members who appeared that night.

As for the Begging Spirits Association.
Russell asked Zeng Bo to pick out some unruly antisocial elements and hand them over, and those who remained were basically more obedient.

He did not feel any psychological burden for doing this. Maybe it was because of the saying that a son does not feel sorry for selling his father's land.

Moreover, before Russell arrived in Donglai, Jin Ping said that if necessary, he could sacrifice the Qiling Society here to help him hide himself.

However, although the martial law was lifted, the intensity of patrols in the city was still much higher than during the Sima Huai period.

Just as Russell was lost in his thoughts, the vibration of his cell phone brought him back to reality.

【Liu Yu: I’m here.】

【Russell: Wait for me. 】

Putting away his phone, Russell asked the ghost soldier to take him to the station.

The silver-level [Ghost Mask] is still his main means of transportation and storage.

If you don't care about its combat effectiveness, it is really useful in daily life.

Russell felt that it would not need to be replaced for a long time at least.

"We're here."

The young man with a slicked-back hair raised his hand to block the glaring sunlight.

Glancing at the sparse crowds of people around him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Accustomed to the large flow of people at Nandu Station, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable coming to the small city of Donglai.

The person who came was naturally Liu Yu.

He had just broken through to the gold level before the start of the school year at Nanjing University, and therefore did not start job training at the beginning of his junior year.

In fact, under normal circumstances, if he made a breakthrough after taking up the job, he should have been promoted in his original city.

But he is not.

Therefore, after informing the school of his breakthrough, Nanda did not let him choose a position for the time being. Instead, it waited until Liu Yu made the first gold-level card before letting him choose from the selected positions.

Unlike Russell who made his first gold-level card on the same day he obtained the materials, Liu Yu first sold his belongings and went to the gold-level welfare secret realm to gather enough materials. He also conceived the card-making process for a long time and only completed the production of the first card not long ago.

As Russell's teammate in the Battle Club, he naturally knew that Russell was the vice president of Donglai.

There is nothing much to say, he chose Donglai at the first opportunity.

Originally, he chose the position of vice president of the Laiyang County branch under Donglai. This position is more suitable for young people like him who have just broken through the gold level. The burden is not heavy and he can be familiar with the affairs of the association.

However, after waiting for a while, what he got was not the appointment letter of vice president of the branch, but the appointment letter of director of the secret realm office.

Although his position is half a level higher, Liu Yu is a genius from Nanjing University after all. The reason he did not seem so outstanding before was only because of Russell's example.

After all, not everyone is a monster like Russell, and genius is just the threshold to meet him.

Therefore, the young man with the slicked-back hair can barely do the job.

"Long time no see, Liu Yu."

The sudden male voice brought him back to his senses.

Turning around, it was Russell.

"Not even a few months, Captain."

"It's called job title when working." Russell pretended to be dissatisfied and made a joke, "Come on, I'll take you back to the headquarters. This is not the place to discuss business."

Liu Yu shrugged and replied jokingly, "Got it, Vice President."

Hearing this, Russell shook his finger: "It's the president."

"?"

In the president's office, Liu Yu was holding the hot tea in his hand in a daze, slowly digesting the information he had just received.

It was only then that he realized that the reason he was able to become the director of the Secret Realm Office was because the death of the original president Sima Huai resulted in a vacancy in the headquarters of the East Laika Master Association.

"Really." Liu Yu calmed down and took a sip of hot tea. "You are under a lot of pressure."

He did not doubt whether the young man in front of him was qualified to succeed the president, but he felt that the current situation in Donglai was not optimistic.

Russell was a little noncommittal: "Regret it?"

But who would have thought that after hearing Russell's words, Liu Yu's face showed some seriousness: "How is it possible? I was originally prepared to help you."

“I just didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent.”

Russell was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"It's actually not as bad as you think."

Everyone knows their own business. Russell knows that the main pressure facing the East Leica Association right now comes from the Guiyi Sect.

The Qiling Society can now be considered to be in cahoots with the Association, of course, this is only limited to Donglai.

However, the trouble with Guiyi Sect cannot be solved by just dealing with it on their side. The key still depends on the situation on the northern front.

If the war in the north does not go well, the situation will probably only get worse.

Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded and said, "You are the president, you have the final say." As he was a newcomer, he was definitely not as familiar with the specific situation as Russell, who had been in Donglai for a long time.

After the greetings between old friends, Russell sent a few messages on his phone: "I'll ask Lu Yan and the others to come over now, you guys can get familiar with each other."

Soon, Lu Yan and the other two arrived at the president's office.

"Lü Yan, Vice President. Zeng Bo, Director of the Public Security Office. Yu Hengrui, Director of the Human Resources Management Department."

"Liu Yu."

After briefly introducing both parties, Russell said to Liu Yu, "President Lu was previously the director of the Secret Realm Office. You can look for him if you are not familiar with any of the places."

Watching the four people in front of him communicating, Russell leaned back in his chair and began to think about making the next card.

Last month's salary of 10,000 points had already been credited to his account, and with the addition of the 20,000 points rewarded from the previous incident on the coast, his savings had become abundant again.

In a mysterious space somewhere, Li Shuo, whom the Dongleika Master Association had been looking for for a while, was arguing with two demons.

"We have already discussed this before, right?" The middle-aged man in a red robe said gloomily, "You help me disrupt the situation in Donglai, and when you succeed, I will allocate a piece of land in Goryeo to you."

"Now you want to regret it?"

Standing in front of Li Shuo at this time were Dick and Menia, who appeared on the night Sima Huai was assassinated.

Hearing Li Shuo's question, the two demons looked at each other and said, "You didn't say this city is so chaotic."

"Besides, even Will is dead, so it would be easy for Russell to kill us."

At this moment, Li Shuo laughed in anger: "Aren't you afraid that the person behind you will be angry?"

These words seemed to have hit the sore spot of the two demons, causing them to stiffen all over. Then their faces turned bitter as if they had eaten Coptis chinensis, but they still kept their mouths shut and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Shuo really wanted to point at their noses and scold them for being short-sighted.

But no.

Because he still needs help from others.

As the president Sima Huai was assassinated, a high-intensity martial law was implemented in Donglai City.

In order to prevent his plan from being exposed, he had to postpone his action.

But who would have thought that now that martial law has been lifted, his plan is still difficult to carry out.

It seemed that the group of lackeys of the association were targeting the Guiyi Sect, as if they were the ones who killed Sima Huai, but it was obvious that the Qiling Society was the culprit!

When talking about the Spirit Begging Society, Li Shuo got so angry that his head hurt. Those crazy people really opened his eyes by stabbing him in the buttocks with a knife. What love and peace?
Do you really think he doesn't know what the Qi Ling Society has done over the years?

And if Sima Huai, who was lying there that night, knew about this, he would probably come back to life, right? !

"Crazy, they are all crazy!"

"If those idiots had joined forces with us to clean up the association's lackeys, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"

Unable to help but curse a few words in his heart, Li Shuo suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down.

Since the hard one is not enough, the only choice is the soft one.

If he wanted to make the two retreating demons in front of him take action, he could only continue to increase the stakes.

"If you continue with your previous plan, I can expand the area that I promised to give you."

"I can even ask the demon army in the north to allocate a piece of land to you."

The latter sentence is actually bullshit. The demon army occupies a desolate and extremely cold place, and they wish other demons would join them.

Seeing that the two still didn't speak, Li Shuo took out his last bargaining chip: "If you need it later, I can also help you with something."

Hearing this, Menia and Dick secretly exchanged glances and finally decided to agree.

They were not moved by Li Shuo's conditions, but they thought of the orders given by the overlord before he descended.

If it can't be completed.
"Okay, we can continue to help you, the conditions are as you said."

Seeing that the two demons in front of him finally agreed, Li Shuo felt relieved and put on a hypocritical smile on his face: "Then I'll trouble you two."

"It's just a transaction."

The matter had been settled, and Li Shuo did not stay any longer. He turned around and left this space and appeared on a beach.

"finally."

“It’s the last step.”

With a flash, the middle-aged man in red robe disappeared from the spot, leaving only the fishy and salty sea breeze blowing and raising fine dust.

In the president's office, Russell, who was in a daze, was stunned. He noticed that Laolan had generated another prop card.

----

【Soul and foreign body extraction medium】

Level: Gold

quality:? ? ?
Category: props

characteristic:
[Non-destructive Extraction]: The holder can use this device to extract foreign objects from the soul without causing any harm to it.

----

After checking the card information, Russell was confused for a moment.

The last time he used the [Black Cloak] was when he faced Will. It could help him hide his tracks and get rid of the Emerald-level demon.

What about this time?

"strangeness."

After thinking about it, Russell could only wonder if the Guiyi Sect was doing something big again, but Donglai City was calm in the past few days and nothing major happened.

"Tsk."

Russell frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
