Chapter 587: Keep Them To Warm My Bed

“Can’t I just come here to visit you?” Long Yubai raised his eyebrows.

“I thought you’d be treating Chief Lu,” Looking at Long Yubai, He Mu sat down and raised his eyebrows as well.

By treating, he surely meant that thing. And Chief Lu was none other than Lu Zhuofeng.

“Or, have you treated him already?” He thought for a moment and then added. It was pretty late at night, so he guessed that Long Yubai had talked to Lu Zhuofeng already.

“Hm, he finished a bottle of Martell. He’s already drunk!” Long Yubai nodded and said.

“Damn! A bottle! You’re so generous! Why didn’t you give me a bottle of that?” Hearing that, He Mu popped his eyes and said with discontentment. But of course, he said those words almost jokingly.

“Do you want it? I have another bottle of it! I can give it to you if you want…” Long Yubai smiled and said.

“Eh? Really?” He Mu paused briefly with a delightful surprise. However, he thought for a moment and then continued, “You’re not giving it to me with no condition, are you? Do you want anything from me?”

“There’s no condition. I just want to talk to you about Lu Zhuofeng,” Long Yubai shook his head and said.

“Lu Zhuofeng? I thought you’re going to talk about the antidote! You came here so late at night to talk about Lu Zhuofeng?” He Mu paused again. Long Yubai changed his topic too fast, so he didn’t manage to catch up with him immediately.

“At present, the antidote isn’t the most important thing for us. The most important thing is that Lu Zhuofeng has already broken into level-eight. As you have seen, when the three of us are running discussions, his attitude is getting more and more aggressive. I believe that in a short while, he’ll start to suppress us. It’s just not so obvious now…” said Long Yubai.

“Wait!” He Mu abruptly interrupted him.

Long Yubai stopped talking and looked at him with confusion. He Mu stood up and turned to walk back into the bedroom, and then yelled at the three girls, “Get out!”

After that, the three scrawny girls came out, each wearing a thin blanket.

He Mu gave a hand gesture to his subordinate who was guarding by the door. Then, that subordinate quickly opened the door and left with the three young girls.

Long Yubai was surprised a little on seeing the three girls. He then looked at He Mu and asked, “Eh? Don’t you always have your people carry them out? Why did you keep them in your room today?”

“It’s cold these days. I kept them to warm my bed,” He Mu smiled as he sat back down and said, “Okay, continue!”

Long Yubai glanced at the closed door and then continued, “Now, the balance between the three of us has been broken. What should we do next? Are you going to let your Sky Fire Base be suppressed?”

Once he mentioned that, He Mu showed a sullen face. “Hm, it’s indeed unexpected that he broke into level-eight so soon. I thought he’d be stuck at level-seven until next year.”

“Next year is coming soon. He also said that Wu Chengyue has made the breakthrough as well. I don’t believe him. How can anyone enter level-eight so easily? I think he’s trying to divert our attention to Sea City Base, so that we can be less vigilant against him.” Clearly, Long Yubai didn’t believe what Lu Zhuofeng had said about Wu Chengyue’s upgrade.

Hearing his words, He Mu was a little surprised.

“Are you saying that he’s planning to divert our attention to Wu Chengyue, and then slowly suppress us behind our backs? In that way, he’ll become the leader of Southwest China, right?”

Long Yubai nodded and said, “You’re right! Hidden Cloud City Base has three leaders and over ten level-six people. That base is already stronger than ours. If our bases hadn’t been collaborating closely, he wouldn’t possibly agree to attack Hades Base together with us.”

He Mu was thinking, without responding to Long Yubai immediately.

Long Yubai was right though. Hidden Cloud City Base had a larger population than Sky Fire Base and Earth Dragon Base, and surely had more high-leveled superpowered people. As same as Sea City Base, that base was run by three level-seven members, six vice-leaders, and the level-six people on other positions.

In Hidden Cloud City Base, not every level-six member could become a vice-leader.

Sky Fire Base was weaker than Hidden Cloud City Base. They had two level-seven members and five level-six ones. In Earth Dragon Base, Long Yubai was the only level-seven member, and the number of level-six members was merely three.

In Southwest China, Hades Base was the weakest base. However, the leader of that base was very powerful. Hades Base was outnumbered, but wasn’t easy to be defeated.

“You’re right though,” He Mu thought for a moment and then nodded.

The two of them had no idea that when they were talking about Hades Base, the leader of that base was standing between them, listening to their conversation with her arms crossed. Not only did Lin Qiao hear their conversation, but she also heard some of their thoughts.

However, she had known all that since long ago, so she learned nothing new from their conversation. The only thing that she was interested in was that Lu Zhuofeng’s upgrade caused Long Yubai’s fear. On one hand, he wanted to use Lu Zhuofeng, and on the other hand, he was worried that he might mess up and end up falling into Lu Zhuofeng’s trap.

That was why he had started brainwashing He Mu.

“So, you’re saying…” He Mu looked at Long Yubai, feeling slightly confused.

“I think that we need to be careful this time. If the antidote falls into his hands, we might only be getting a slight bit of it. He’ll hold the big part for himself,” Long Yubai knitted his pretty eyebrows.

“Huaxia Base isn’t going to put a large amount of the antidote on sale this time. The raw material that they used is way too rare. Besides, the success rate is merely 67%. They won’t dare to produce it in large batches,” He Mu sighed and said.

“Oh, how can you be sure that they won’t save some for themselves?” Long Yubai asked him.

At that moment, He Mu had completely no idea that Long Yubai was setting a trap for him. Long Yubai started the conversation from Lu Zhuofeng’s power, and then separated Lu Zhuofeng and He Mu. In that way, the relationship between himself and He Mu would surely be improved.

In fact, while trying to earn He Mu to his side, Long Yubai was also trying to make He Mu leak the information that he knew.

Now, he had achieved his goal. He Mu was now on alert against Lu Zhuofeng, and was less vigilant against Long Yubai. So, he did leak some information unwittingly.

He didn’t know about the thoughts and schemes in Long Yubai’s head. However, Lin Qiao, who was standing between the two men, read Long Yubai’s mind clearly.

That man was really scheming and manipulative!

Lin Qiao glanced at Long Yubai with a frown. She hated him, but had to admit that he was really good at scheming.

After all, her Hades Base was destroyed under his schemes.
