Chapter 68: Incorporating into the Fold

Jumping ship.

In this virtual world, a point spring for some Jianghu sects also is known as slang among commoners.

It means leaving the original organization to serve another organization, gang, or family.

For some legitimate families and sects, jumping ship is allowed, and it implies an amicable departure. Even when business transactions fail, righteousness remains; when ties are severed, friendships endure.

In future encounters in Jianghu, one can still greet each other with clasped hands and inquire warmly, making things convenient.

Of course, it depends on the situation. Leaving on your own is fine, but if you leave with a group of people, or with someone else's resources or clients, or if you steal secret techniques, and treasures, or cause trouble by killing someone, it won't be considered an amicable departure.

Whoever shelters you in Jianghu, even if it means becoming enemies with that sect.

The specific circumstances depend on the severity of your misdeeds.

However, for some organizations, such as major ones, jumping ship is forbidden.

Once you join such an organization and learn some secrets, leaving is not an option.

Upon entry, you must swear a curse, saying that you will be with them for this lifetime, and whether you live or die depends on fate.

Jumping ship means initiating a pursuit order, and everyone in the organization can hunt you down for a reward. The bounty depends on your abilities, the amount of secrets you know, and the severity of your misdeeds.

king Tietuo is one of the four great kings of the Northern Snow City Sub-Division, not to mention his knowledge of the internal situation of the major organization. Moreover, this time he came out with five billion in cash to handle affairs.

Now that he's beaten the young master several times and given five billion to Lu Chengwen, he sits here eating lobster and drinking red wine...Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

He jumps ship, and the major organization is going crazy trying to take his life.

At this moment, King Tietuo hasn't figured out the situation yet: "Young Master, what does this mean?"

Lu Chengwen said, "You now have two choices. One is to kill me and then flee. The other is to leave the major organization and follow me in the future. As long as I'm alive, I won't mistreat you. As for whether you can escape the pursuit of the major organization, it depends on our luck."

King Tietuo and the others are still confused.

"Young Master, this... where do we begin?"

"I am not your Young Master. I am Lu Chengwen, a native of Snow City. The one who was beaten several times by you is your Young Master."

The wine glass in King Tietuo's hand fell directly to the ground, and he sat there speechless.

"You... this... Young Master, don't joke like this!"

"Do I look like I'm joking to you?"

King Tietuo stared at Lu Chengwen for a long time, and from his eyes, it was clear that this was no joke.

Recalling the things he had done, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The other four big guys were also dumbfounded, looking at each other, realizing that they were doomed.

The four men quickly lifted the table back up.

Lu Chengwen grabbed the bottle of good wine that fell when the table was flipped and grabbed a few cups, placing them together and pouring a bit of wine into each cup.

"I'll tell you the truth. Dragon Proud Heaven is exceptionally talented and outstanding, he is the chosen one by destiny. He may stir up the winds and clouds in the future and become the strongest, most formidable figure of this era."

King Tietuo moved his mouth, "Do you even need to say? Everyone says he's the pride of heaven, with unlimited potential."

Lu Chengwen slammed the bottle of wine on the table and stared at King Tietuo, "But! I, Lu Chengwen, am not an ordinary person either. He is the chosen one by destiny, and I am the chosen one by heaven! His advantage lies in the aura above his head and the external aids in his body, while my advantage is the knowledge and intelligence in my mind that no one else in this world possesses! Between him and me, there will be a showdown sooner or later!"

"Now, the chosen one has been thoroughly offended by you, and you can't even go back to be his key. lac But me! Lu Chengwen! The chosen one now invites you to join me! Accept it or not, it's up to you to decide."

King Tietuo looked at Lu Chengwen, now truly intimidated by his dominance.

How can this young man be so powerful?

Damn, his words are so arrogant!

The chosen one? So confident!?

What does he know exactly?

King Tietuo said, "You...you can't possibly defeat him. You're just wealthy, but he..."

"Who won during your time in Snow City?"

All of them were stunned.

"Why am I so sure that he won't die after falling off the cliff and that I need to go after him myself?"

"With Dragon Proud Heaven's abilities, in any other city, things would have been settled long ago. Why is it taking so long to make a breakthrough in Snow City?"

Lu Chengwen pointed to his chest, "Because he met me! I can't guarantee that I'll ultimately win, but I won't succumb to fate! I won't be intimidated by his damn title of 'chosen one'! I may be at a disadvantage now, but he can't do anything to me either. Today, I'm here to tell you, that as long as I, Lu Chengwen, am here, Dragon Proud Heaven won't even think about touching Snow City! This city! Is mine!"

Lu Chengwen raised his glass, his gaze like flames, "Let's drink to that. From now on, we share life and death, and build our empire together!"

King Tietuo struggled for a moment, then snatched a glass and raised it high, "Good! King Tietuo has no other way out. Whether we live or die, we're with you from now on!"

He turned to look at the other four.

Lu Chengwen said, "It's your choice. Either I give you some money, and you disappear, or you drink this glass, and we're all on the same boat."

King Tietuo already had a glass in hand, and soon, one person responded, then another, and another...

Six people raised their glasses.

Lu Chengwen said, "From now on, you must obey my orders, no matter how difficult they may be to understand. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that we'll either live or die together!"

"Live or die together!"

They all finished their drinks, wearing smiles on their faces.

Just then, there was a banging on the door, and Lu Chengwen's face turned grim.

Oh no, could the pursuers be here already!?
