Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 516: It Turns Out to Be Just Horses’ Fortune

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: It Turns Out to Be Just Horses’ Fortune

He Jiang was speechless behind Xiang Yu, thinking to himself that Xiang Yu and his colleagues were also members of the national security department, and yet they spoke without any sense of propriety.

Little did he know, Xiang Yu and his companions were old rascals who often did things that could make a person blush.

The four followed the crowd and then entered a spacious room. It was similar to a lecture hall in a university, and the first people to enter were visibly excited as they took their seats.

At the front of the room, there was an oval table with six people sitting around it. At the very end sat a man with a fair complexion, double eyelids, large eyes, and short hair, appearing quite delicate.

Although this was Xiang Yu’s first time seeing him, he knew this person must be the Sect Hierarch, Liu Lianyu, who appeared to be around thirty years old.

Beside him sat a woman with big eyes and long hair, dressed in black silk gauze clothing. She was stunningly beautiful, the kind that made it difficult for one’s eyes to leave her.

"Who is she?" Xiang Yu whispered as he sat down.

He Jiang, who was earnestly gazing at Liu Lianyu, heard Xiang Yu’s question and quickly replied, "Of course, it’s the Sect Hierarch. Apart from the Sect Hierarch who is this handsome, who else could it be?"

Seeing the adoration on He Jiang’s face, Xiang Yu realized he was deeply brainwashed.

"I’m talking about the woman next to the Sect Hierarch," Xiang Yu said impatiently.

He Jiang then made a hushing gesture and whispered, "She is the Sect Hierarch’s woman, named Murong Xue. Don’t even think about her, or else the Sect Hierarch will chop off your manhood."

Now, He Jiang only had eyes for Liu Lianyu; no one else mattered. Xiang Yu observed the people around them, noting their expressions were the same as He Jiang’s, a testament to the great power of belief.

Sitting below Liu Lianyu were four people, with Wang Yingying among them. Clearly, they were the leaders of the four regions.

"Today, I’ve called you here for several reasons. First, I want to thank you for your contributions to the ’Evil God’..." After everyone was seated, Liu Lianyu began to speak.

Xiang Yu had thought Liu Lianyu would be mysterious, but he didn’t expect him to be so approachable, and he even started with a word of thanks before discussing the recent progress and future outlook.

As Xiang Yu sat there, his thoughts followed the speaker’s, and gradually, he began to feel that the Sect Hierarch was right, and the ’Evil God’ organization was a direction worth striving for in the future.

But just as Xiang Yu was being drawn into the speech, a faint snoring sound from Tie Zhuzi woke him up. Xiang Yu instantly realized that Liu Lianyu was brainwashing the audience here.

It had to be acknowledged that Liu Lianyu’s oratory skills were exceptional. He started by getting the audience to listen without their guard up and then slowly, gradually drew them in, aiming to control his brothers spiritually.

Tie Zhuzi hadn’t been listening from the start; to him, the speech was no different from a lullaby, which was why he hadn’t fallen for it.

Xiang Yu was secretly shocked; Liu Lianyu was indeed a talented person, but misusing his abilities. Were he to serve the country, his achievements would surely be remarkable, but that was impossible.

After waking up, Xiang Yu quickly roused Tie Zhuzi, who then forced himself to listen attentively.

Liu Lianyu spoke non-stop for an hour, and except for Xiang Yu and his companions, everyone else was completely mesmerized by his speech.

Now Xiang Yu too had to pretend to be enchanted while listening in earnest. However, his eyes stayed fixated on Murong Xue.

She was just too beautiful, on par even with Long Wu.

Murong Xue seemed to sense Xiang Yu’s gaze and looked over. When she saw Xiang Yu, she was taken aback because there was no worship for the Sect Hierarch in his eyes, just admiration.

Murong Xue did not speak, merely bowing her head with a smile that was truly breathtaking. freёweɓnovel.com

The presentation carried on until eleven o’clock at night, concluding decisively. As soon as Liu Lianyu finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below, resonating forcefully as everyone stood up, cheering jubilantly.

Some shouted long live the Sect Hierarch, while others swore to follow the Sect Hierarch to the death. Tie Zhuzi stood to the side, listening with a sullen mood and couldn’t help cursing them as idiots.

Xiang Yu, too, looked down upon these people. As a big brother figure himself, he was appalled that they could be swayed by a few words—it was preposterous.

But at the same time, it demonstrated one thing—Liu Lianyu was truly a cunning genius.

After Liu Lianyu had finished bewitching the crowd, he continued, "There’s one more thing I need to tell you today. I assigned a task in the Fourth District, and the brothers there did very well, with one named Xiang Yu performing the best."

At this point, Liu Lianyu addressed the audience, "Xiang Yu, come forth."

Xiang Yu quickly stepped forward, approaching Liu Lianyu with a sincere grin and said, "Sect Hierarch, you are the idol in our hearts."

As Xiang Yu spoke, he almost gagged, unsure of how to express his sincerity, he had to make do with that line.

The woman beside Liu Lianyu’s eyes sparkled, then she threw a nonchalant glance at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was tall and sturdy, handsome and dashing whereas Liu Lianyu possessed a kind of delicate beauty.

"Do you understand the doctrines of our cult?" Liu Lianyu asked Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu hastily nodded, "I understand."

Liu Lianyu nodded with a smile and continued, "Starting today, Xiang Yu will be the Great Protector of our ’Evil God’ cult, a man of mine, Liu Lianyu. Do you all understand?"

Xiang Yu was secretly stunned, considering that all he did was produce a green sphere, and now the other party had appointed him as Great Protector.

Although he had no idea what a protector was, it seemed very impressive.

Xiang Yu quickly showed a radiant smile and expressed his gratitude, pretending to be very pleased. Just as he raised his head, however, he saw Murong Xue staring straight at him.

Xiang Yu had no intention of appearing timid, so he boldly met her gaze.

Murong Xue gave a light laugh, then lowered her head without a word.

"Alright, that’s all for today. Dismissed," Liu Lianyu finished, then stood up and walked away.

Xiang Yu thought he would have more to say, but didn’t expect him to be so blunt. Their visit this time earned him the title of protector, but there wasn’t much else gained.

After Liu Lianyu left, many came to congratulate Xiang Yu, including Wang Yingying. At this point, Xiang Yu asked something that rendered everyone speechless.

"My friends, how much authority does this protector actually have?" asked Xiang Yu, cluelessly.

The people, who were all ready to celebrate with Xiang Yu, now looked helpless upon hearing his question, for even they didn’t know what precisely being a protector entailed.

There had never been such a position before; one could say that Xiang Yu was the first protector. The leaders of the four districts could only give awkward smiles.

That was when Tie Zhuzi scoffed, "I thought they’d handed out a significant official post, turns out it’s just like ’Horses’ Fortune’—a mere title without substance."
