Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Jia Lu was able to establish herself firmly in Black Rock City thanks to her relationship with Fang Yue E, and successfully elevated the Xu family to the status of the city’s foremost family.
In Black Rock City, where power and influence reigned supreme. In theory, any man she desired could be brought to her boudoir that very day.
However, since the incident with Zhao Yu, she lost interest in men and remained single to this day.
Luo Bing was pondering the relationship between Xu Jia Lu and Zhao Yu, but her expression gave her away.
This embarrassed Xu Jia Lu.
“Go and kill Zhao Yu!” she ordered.
“Ah?” Luo Bing was shocked. She had no grudge against Zhao Yu, yet she was ordered to kill him?
“Yes, miss, I will go now…”
Without further questioning. Xu Jia Lu had been her savior; without her, Luo
Bing would have die long ago.
‘Wait!’
Just as Luo Bing was about to leave, Xu Jia Lu stopped her.
Luo Bing turned back to Xu Jia Lu.
“Do you even know Zhao Yu’s situation, and you rush to kill her?”
“Miss, no matter how difficult it is, I will accomplish the task of eliminating whoever you want!” Luo Bing declared firmly.
This was her conviction.
“Forget it, I was lost my sense in the heat of the moment. You don’t have to worry about this. Just keep an eye on Zhao Yu’s movements…”
As she spoke, she took out her phone, and had a brief conversation. After hanging up, she continued.
“The eldest son of the Han family is looking for trouble with Zhao Yu. You need to ensure your own safety while helping me see the outcome of this fight…” “And… make a trip to Zhao Family Town to see what kind of camp Zhao Yu has built…”
Luo Bing could not understanding Xu Jia Lu’s ambivalence.
It seemed like she hated Zhao Yu enough to kill him, yet she also appeared to be concerned about him, a very conflicted demeanor.
‘Yes…’
Xu Jia Lu realized her own confusion and waved for Luo Bing to leave.
As Luo Bing left the house, she pondered over who Zhao Yu really was.
She was unaware of Zhao Yu’s feat of annihilating the Wild Wolf Town.
When she and her team members arrived at a well-informed bar in the city to gather information about Zhao Yu, prepared to spend money for intelligence. She was astounded to find that the place was abuzz with news about Zhao Yu. ‘Heh heh, the Han family has really lost this time…’
“Yeah, their own men were wiped out by the Zhao Yu…”
“Zhao Yu really is reckless, daring to annihilate even the people of the Han family. This time, he might be facing his end!”
Luo Bing couldn’t help but approach a loudmouth at the bar, buying him a drink to get the full story.
“Zhao Yu annihilated the Wild Wolf Town?!”
She hadn’t expected Zhao Yu to be so ferocious.
As far as she knew, Wild Wolf Town was a small town with a population of over 5,000, with a military force of 500 to 600 men.
Zhao Yu’s ability to conquered Wild Wolf Town suggested he had a substantial force under his command.
From Zhao Yu’s military rank, it seemed only that about 500 people under his command?!
After listening the story for a while, Luo Bing discovered that no one seemed to be in charge of Zhao Family Town other than Zhao Yu.
In Zhao Family Town, Zhao Yu was the highest authority. How could Zhao Yu alone defeat Wild Wolf Town?
But he apparently had no major party supporting…
Could it be that the 500 men under Zhao Yu’s command were all elite soldiers?!
Although she was not well-versed in military matters, she had heard enough from Xu Jia Lu to understand the capabilities of elite soldiers.
A few elite warriors could defeat an enemy force five to ten times their number, or even more.
After some initial inquiries, Luo Bing quickly got the information she was seeking.
“The eldest son of the Han family has already obtained the order to start mobilizing troops…”
“Hey, your news is outdated. Just now, Han Yong De has already left Black Rock City with a thousand troops…”
“What the heck, crusade is already started?!”
“A big scene indeed. A thousand troops marching to annihilate Zhao Yu, the outcome will be clear, isn’t it?”
Luo Bing was startled by the swift action of the Han family. She couldn’t stay to listen further and left with her team.
She hadn’t forgotten the task Xu Jia Lu had assigned her: to check out Zhao
Yu’s camp and observe the situation of the battle.
Unbeknownst to her, two burly men in combat gear also left with them. These men headed straight for the wilderness, where they met up with a convoy of five cars in a dense forest.
One of the cars, equipped with numerous antennas, became the medium for transmitting the intelligence they had gathered.
As time passed, more and more people gathered and relayed information back. These people were scout soldiers sent out by Zhao Yu to gather information in Black Rock City.

Knowing the Han family’s intent for revenge, Zhao Yu didn’t just sit idly by.
He had sent out a platoon-sized group of scout soldiers early on.
These scouts, divided into several groups, not only investigated the number of Han family troops involved in this campaign but also got a rough idea of the weapons and equipment Han Yong De’s army carried.
Soon, instructions from Zhao Family Town came through, and the scout soldiers quickly departure back to the base.
“A thousand men, six hundred from the Han family army, and four hundred mercenaries affiliated with the Han family….”
