"So, can you two explain why you didn't arrive on time? Are you looking down on me?"
As soon as Gu Ran's words came out, both Lin Kezhi and Lie Fen were frightened to death.
The two people were a little at a loss and hurried to excuse themselves.
"No, we don't dare! How dare we disrespect the ruling lord?!"
"Absolutely not! Lord Gu Ran is the person I admire most in my heart! I have always felt that it would be an honor for Canglong City to have Lord Gu Ran in charge!"
Gu Ran did not answer, but just watched their "performance" with indifference in his eyes.
He doesn't care whether these two people can be killed or not.
If they can demonstrate some value that is worthy of him not killing them, then he will not kill them and will just keep them as dogs.
If they were just worthless idiots and trash, then Gu Ran would not have any psychological burden in killing them.
Lin Kezhi gritted his teeth. He knew that the other party had the ability to kill them easily, but he had not taken any action yet. He was obviously waiting for something.
And in this kind of situation... ... in addition to superficial loyalty, he must demonstrate his corresponding value. Otherwise, if his value is greatest as the "chicken" killed to scare the monkeys, he will surely die.
"My Lord... I..." Lin Kezhi was desperately thinking of the "reason" why he could live.
"My Lord, I have fifty cubic meters of pure star stones!" Lin Kezhi smiled flatteringly, "I am willing to give fifty cubic meters of pure star stones to you!"
Lie Fen, who was standing by, was very anxious when he heard this. He did not have fifty pure star stones, and he could not help but curse in his heart that he was so greedy.
Pure Star Stone is something that many untalented psychics and warriors must prepare when they are striving to become S-level psychics and martial arts golden elixirs. A few cubic meters of pure Star Stone can make a strong mercenary team fight for it.
The mercenary group that Gu Ran met when he rescued Little Snail's mother risked their lives for a few cubic meters of pure star stone.
Lin Kezhi is only an A-level psychic, but he is able to possess fifty cubic meters of pure star stone. It is hard to say that this is not related to his position as Minister of Commerce.
However, despite having so many pure star stones, he has always been stuck at the level of an A-level mutant. It has to be said that Lin Kezhi's talent is really low.
Faced with Lin Kezhi's "gift", Gu Ran remained silent.
He really wasn't very interested in the Pure Star Stone.
Liefen was so anxious that he almost got angry. He didn't have so much wealth. If he highlighted his strength, he would appear ridiculous in front of the extremely powerful Gu Ran.
"Sir, I am very familiar with all the martial arts forces in Canglong City. As long as you give the order, I will charge into battle for you and completely eliminate all those who oppose you!"
Liefen finally thought of his own "advantages".
Lin Kezhi is so rich because he is the Minister of Commerce, and I am the Minister of Martial Arts. What special personal strengths do I have
He thought of this.
That is, having served for many years, he is very familiar with many martial arts forces in Canglong City. As a ruler who is bound to be "controversial", Gu Ran should be in need of someone like him who understands the various martial arts forces in Canglong City.
This was the only "life-saving straw" he could think of. He looked at Gu Ran eagerly, praying that Gu Ran would accept his reason for living.
At this moment, he regretted very much that he had underestimated Gu Ran before. If he had known that Gu Ran possessed such a powerful strength, he would not have tried to collude with him. He must have tried his best to cling to Gu Ran as soon as possible.
"Oh? Do you know about Junsheng Martial Arts School?" Gu Ran finally showed some interest.
Liefen’s eyes lit up. He was glad that he could arouse Gu Ran’s interest. He was afraid that Gu Ran was not interested in the “knowledge” in his mind at all.
He quickly said, "I know. I know very well. Junsheng Martial Arts Hall is a martial arts hall with two martial arts masters and a long history. In recent times... not only has its overall strength not decreased, but it has actually increased."
Liefen did not mention the great turmoil in Canglong City and the large-scale arrival of evil demons because he felt that this was related to Gu Ran, and if he said so, it might make Gu Ran unhappy.
"Did you know that they are trafficking in human beings?" Gu Ran asked.
"Ah?" Lie Fen was a little surprised. He was a little hesitant, not knowing which direction to start. "Well... it seems so. I have heard about it, but... but there is no evidence..."
"I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you can find all the evidence and process of human trafficking in Junsheng Martial Arts Hall, this matter will be exposed. Otherwise, he will end up like you!"
As he spoke, Lin Kezhi, who had been very confident that he could survive, was surprised to find that his perspective began to rotate, and then with a clang, his head seemed to hit the ground.
Then he saw that his body was headless and a big bloody mouth appeared on his chest. The supernatural crystal core was taken out and passed to a person's hand.
Before he died, he couldn't understand why there were people in this world who were not interested in the purest star stone.
Lie Fen was shocked to see Lin Kezhi being killed instantly by Gu Ran with ease.
Just now, after Lin Kezhi said that he would give Gu Ran fifty cubic meters of pure star stone, even he thought that Lin Kezhi should have escaped this crisis. However, he did not expect that Gu Ran was completely unmoved and directly killed him, killing the "chicken" for him to see.
Liefen was indeed shocked. He couldn't understand Gu Ran's thinking, and Gu Ran controlled his life and death. He felt that his fate was really terrible.
He said tremblingly: "Okay...Okay, Lord Governor, I will definitely complete your order!"
"I only give you seven days. If you can't complete this task..."
Gu Ran looked at him indifferently.
Lie Fen's body shook, and he suppressed the fear in his heart. He glanced at the headless corpse beside him and the head with its eyes open beside the corpse, and swore, "If I cannot complete your mission within seven days, I... I will come to see you with my head!"
"Okay, then Minister Liefen, please return to your seat."
Gu Ran used his telekinesis to clear away Lin Kezhi's body.
There is too much blood, and it will be unsightly if it is not dealt with.
Lie Fen almost cried for joy. He originally thought that he was really doomed this time. Even if Gu Ran wanted to kill someone, it would most likely be him. However, he did not expect such an unexpected turn of events.
Liefen stood up with some trembling body. He was not afraid of Lin Kezhi's corpse, but was extremely afraid of Gu Ran.
He always felt that there was a strong sense of oppression from Gu Ran. This sense of oppression, combined with Gu Ran's strength, made him feel as if he was not facing a person, but... the God of Martial Arts - a kind of oppression at the origin of his status.
Liefen was a little dazed. How could he have such an illusion
No matter how strong Gu Ran is, he is only a human being. How could he possibly...
However, when he thought of the method Gu Ran used to capture him, he couldn't help but fall silent. That method was indeed very powerful.
"Now that everyone is here, I can start the meeting."
"There is only one theme for this meeting - war!"
8 Almost 355. Strongly ascend to the position of power! Crazy fantasy about Longmen City! 4k%
war
The ministers in the conference hall looked at each other.
"Your Excellency, may I ask, who are we going to war with? New Testament City?"
A minister asked hesitantly.
As for Gu Ran, they now tend to call him "the ruler".
Although he had expected Gu Ran's "three big moves upon taking office", and knew that he would definitely make big moves, his attack on Junsheng Martial Arts Hall showed this.
But they didn't expect Gu Ran to be so aggressive that he actually wanted to start a war.
If it were something else, it would be easy to deal with, but if a war really started, it would require the mobilization of a large amount of manpower and material resources. And looking at Gu Ran's expression, it was obviously not a small-scale war, and it was very likely that the entire Canglong City would have to be mobilized.
The Canglong City had just experienced a great turmoil and had suffered a great loss of strength. The New Covenant City therefore saw an opportunity and stopped paying the previous war reparations.
In addition, the turmoil in Canglong City is deeply related to their "new rule". They haven't had a chance to recuperate yet, but they are about to start a war again. It is conceivable that this will surely arouse opposition from countless people.
This is also the reason why they want to persuade Gu Ran even though they know it might make him angry, because it is really not the right time to start a war.
Gu Ran glanced at them calmly: "It's not the New Testament City, but the other 17 main cities of the entire Human Alliance."
!!!
As soon as Gu Ran's words came out, everyone felt as if there was something wrong with their ears and that they had heard it wrongly.
But when they looked at each other and found that what they had just heard was true, they were stunned and even a little at a loss.
Go to war with the other seventeen main cities of the entire human alliance
They felt that going to war with New Testament City would be too much of a resistance, and going to war with the other 17 main cities of the entire Human Alliance was beyond their imagination.
In that case, Canglong City will be destroyed...
Because what Gu Ran said was too shocking, they were frozen for a moment, with their words stuck in their throats.
... ...
Outside the giant light screen.
Gu Ran's words aroused the indignation of countless people.
"Damn it, so arrogant! He doesn't even take the other main cities seriously!"
"Tyrant! For his own ambition, he actually dragged innocent people from other main cities into the war!"
"Although I was very angry, the tyrant did it, and he won a complete victory... Looking back now, it still makes me despair."
Many people could even recount Gu Ran’s route to victory in full; it was a war they would never forget.
However, a few people noticed the information about Junsheng Martial Arts Hall.
"Junsheng Martial Arts School is trafficking in people? Come to think of it, there does seem to be news of this."
"But because the missing people were all from the slums, it didn't attract much attention. Plus, there were two martial arts masters in the Junsheng Martial Arts Hall, whose strength should not be underestimated, so the case was left unresolved."
"I didn't expect that Gu Ran destroyed the Junsheng Martial Arts Hall for this reason?"
Even the person who was speaking felt it was a little unbelievable.
