Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 1091 - Bait and Fish

Chapter 1091: Bait and Fish

The case of the Kun City slave owner, that had caused a lot of worry, was finally solved. It was as if the enemy was afraid of the existence of the Heavenly Network. Thus, there were more cases of slave owners overseas, and fewer in China.
This made sense. If they had taken the opportunity to make a move while Duanmu Huangqi was attacking the Longmen Fortress, they should have known how strong the Heavenly Network was. Alternatively, they were developing regions outside the Heavenly Network’s territory in order to attack the Heavenly Network in the future.
The speed at which the issue of the slave owner in Kun City had been resolved caused everyone to be very happy. The Heavenly Network had the responsibility of protecting the people. They could not endure any mischief on their territory.
But when the news was transmitted, everyone was very puzzled. How did they find the slave owner in a bathhouse… who discovered them? Did they discover the slave owner when they were taking a bath?
This was just a coincidence. After the slave owner came to Earth, he realized that the bathhouse was crowded and suitable for him to conceal himself. Furthermore, it was much more convenient to bathe on Earth than in the Luniverse…
Lu Shu had used the same logic while selling soap in the Luniverse. If you were used to being dirty, you would not feel anything. However, once you were clean for a period of time, you would no longer be able to stand being dirty.
Then, the mice that Little Fury had deployed there had discovered a slave, who informed him about what had happened recently. Although the slave owner had no mark, it was problematic for a slave to whisper to someone else.
However, everyone was surprised, When the Heavenly Network surrounded the bathhouse, the slave owner instantly chose to kill himself by swallowing poison. He did not put up any resistance.
They did not even know how strong the slave owner was. He was probably not a Class A. If he was a Class A, it would have been easy for him to escape with his ability to fly.
Of course, this was a simple conclusion based on reason. In reality, Nie Ting had been in Kun City all along, but no one expected the slave owner to be so decisive and hide poison in his mouth.
Earlier, everyone had considered the possibility that the people from the Luniverse were not organized in any way. They had just wanted to spontaneously accept a few slaves.
But now, it was clear that these people were underlings. Once they were exposed, they would commit suicide. There was definitely someone frightening controlling them from behind the scenes.
No matter what, at least the Heavenly Network had found a way to target them… Little Fury!
Lu Shu and the rest had received a new piece of information. Someone had tried to force Sakurai Yaeko to be their slave and control the Collection of Gods, but they had failed.
This could either be a major or minor issue. It was a minor issue because on the surface, this had nothing to do with the Heavenly Network. Thus, it was not high on their priority list. The Collection of Gods was at odds with the Heavenly Network. Furthermore, the Heavenly Network disliked the Practitioners in Japan.
But it was a major issue as till now, the Heavenly Network had not received any news that the slave owners had attacked the leaders of any organizations. Their aim had been to find the Collection of Gods. To Nie Ting and Zhong Yutang, they were trying to spread their influence to the Heavenly Network.
Now, their main areas of activity were Southeast Asia, North America, and Japan. This was a huge problem. North America was not much of a problem. After all, they had come from North America.
But Southeast Asia and Japan were very close to the Heavenly Network.
Zhong Yutang asked, “The north is now vulnerable. Why haven’t they attacked the north?”
After the battle at Tiger’s Back, the Red Sparrows in Russia had been eliminated. If outsiders wanted to infiltrate the region, now would be the time to do so.
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “It’s probably too cold there…”
Lu Shu had said this for the sake of answering, but Zhong Yutang seemed to accept this reason.
“They have sent a Class A from their side. We can be very sure of this, but surprisingly, Sakurai Yaeko has silently advanced to Class A as well. It was possible that they had made a miscalculation due to this. But I feel that if they are targeting the Heavenly Network, they will definitely not give up now.”
“Should we increase our manpower to deal with the Collection of Gods?” Lu Shu asked,
He had gone there to prevent any future problems from occurring, but now, there was more trouble.
His relationship with Sakurai Yaeko was not made public. At first, he had thought that they would no longer interact with each other. If this had not happened, Lu Shu would almost have forgotten about the young girl dressed in a cherry blossom kimono in Japan.
The president of the swordplay club. A god among high school students. The leader of the Conservatives in the Collection of Gods. There were times when Lu Shu was confused about these identities.
To him, that young girl was still in the darkness, wearing a cherry blossom kimono. She was quietly sitting in the dojo of the Kirihara family, watching him train.
At that moment, she did not have any other identities. She was a friend whom he had met by chance, but had a special warmth for.
Lu Shu did not know that Sakurai Yaeko still had the salary that he had given her in her intricate wallet.
With Sakurai Yaeko’s current position, she did not need to carry a wallet around with her.
She was the leader of the Collection of Gods. She did not need to use money to resolve anything in Japan. Her identity was everything.
Zhong Yutang contacted the people overseas, then said to Lu Shu. “I asked them to focus on the situation in the other areas. We will make a decision after that.”
Lu Shu asked curiously, “Who is in charge of overseas affairs?”
“You Mingyu,” said Zhong Yutang.
“Oh. He wouldn’t be afraid of the mark of a slave,” said Lu Shu after some thought. He recalled how You Mingyu had been hanging from the door of his house. Back then, he had enjoyed being in that position.
Zhong Yutang said, “… let’s talk about official matters. We have received new information. Since yesterday, the slaves in Southeast Asia seemed to have relaxed their plans. They have started to lie low.”
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Could it be because they want to concentrate their power against the Collection of Gods? Thus, the slave owners in Southeast Asia have rushed to the Collection of Gods. As a result, the activity in other areas has slowed down.”
“I think so too,” said Zhong Yutang. “Thus, we need a solution to deal with them. With Sakurai Yaeko in charge of the Collection of Gods, they are very friendly towards us. They are not trying to stall for time, like the Conservatives in the past. Instead, they do not have any ambition to expand. Thus, if we want them to be quiet, we will have to help the Collection of Gods. Furthermore, Sakurai Yaeko is like a bait that will help us to catch the fish.”
Lu Shu calmly looked at Zhong Yutang. “Since you have said so much to me, do you want me to go?”
Zhong Yutang said, “I have allocated a team of 12 to go with you. If possible, we will inform the Collection of Gods to work with us. I believe that they will be very willing…”
Lu Shu interrupted him. “I can handle a few offenders who are hiding in the dark alone.”
Zhong Yutang suddenly felt a surge of confidence from the young man in front of him. This was the Ninth Heavenly King of the Heavenly Network…
