Chapter 558: Chapter 279: A Golden-Grade Mechanism Fortress! _2
It was then that Fang Yuan realized that Master Lu Zhong was not assisting because of his relationship with Fang Mu’s mentor but was actually a servant under Fang Mu.
Fang Yuan was able to sense from Lu Zhong’s behavior that he was trying hard to please him even more than Fu Gui Xue did.
However, Fang Yuan didn’t look down on Lu Zhong because of his humble position.
On the contrary, Fang Yuan treated Lu Zhong with full respect and did not compromise Lu Zhong’s dignity and face as a Master Creator.
This put Lu Zhong’s heart at ease.
Fang Mu had always been very polite to him, but in the future, he wouldn’t be working under Fang Mu but under Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan’s attitude toward him would determine his future environment.
Although Lu Zhong was loyal and providing value to Fang Mu, he didn’t want to work in a degrading position.
Lu Zhong was willing to follow Fang Yuan’s orders, and he would do his job conscientiously whenever Fang Yuan needed help.
When Fang Yuan didn’t need his help, Master Lu Zhong would prepare Spiritual Liquid on his own and then hand over the prepared Master-level Spiritual Liquid to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan would use it as a stockpile for the Jianmu Business Association.
With Master Lu Zhong’s careful assistance, Fang Yuan no longer had to worry about the operation of the business association!
Fang Mu understood from Fang Yuan’s words, that Master Lu Zhong had behaved properly in the Jianmu Business Association.
As Lu Zhong was under his control because of the Soul Parasite Ant, Fang Mu had full trust in him.
Otherwise, Fang Mu wouldn’t let an unstable person work alongside his second brother.
However, Fang Mu was surprised to hear from Fang Yuan about the timing of the Trade Association Festival.
The month after next? Why so far away!?
“Shouldn’t the Trade Association Festival occur in just a few days, according to the original schedule?”
Fang Yuan explained to Fang Mu.
“Little Wood, the Trade Association Festival should indeed have been about to start according to the original schedule.”
“But a problem has arisen in Lu City, and many local business powers in Lu City were originally going to attend the Festival in the Capital.”
“Because of this, these businesses have been unable to travel to the Capital in the short term, and the festival has been postponed to accommodate the business forces in Lu City!”
“This gives me an opportunity to do more preparation.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu nodded in understanding.
As one of the economic centers of the Dragon Rising Federation, it was certainly reasonable to delay the festival due to many local business associations faced with this calamity in Lu City.
After chatting with Fang Yuan for a while, before hanging up the phone, Fang Mu seriously told Fang Yuan.
“If you encounter any problems in the future that Master Lu Zhong can’t solve, you can directly seek help from Master Yi Han or the two owners of Chang Le Pavilion.”
“They can definitely help you solve the problem, you don’t need to be polite to them!”
“They are in a partnership with my master, they won’t feel bothered if you ask them for help, in fact, they would be delighted.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan once again felt the warmth of Fang Mu’s concern.
“Little Wood, I know the limits when I do things. I won’t be polite if I really encounter something that I can’t solve!”
In recent days, Li Yuanchao has been under great pressure. The loss of Lu City’s Water System alone amounts to 650 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
The loss of the Water System was only a small part of all the losses in Lu City.
The total loss reported to the Soul Whale Princess was probably going to exceed 90 trillion Dragon Rising Coins!
If this loss was reported directly to the Soul Whale Princess, Li Yuanchao was afraid she would choose to flee.
The Soul Whale Princess was willing to bear the losses of Lu City because of Fang Mu.
The senior officials in Lu City decided at a meeting that it was necessary for Li Yuanchao to inform Fang Mu about this.
When Fang Mu met Li Yuanchao, he was also shocked by the amount reported by him.
However, Fang Mu quickly composed himself, and told Li Yuanchao very seriously.
“Since the Soul Whale Princess has expressed her willingness to bear the losses of Lu City, the officials in Lu City only need to report the losses to the Soul Whale Princess!”
“You don’t need to feel any pressure. I will negotiate with the Soul Whale Princess in advance.”
Fang Mu’s words completely reassured Li Yuanchao, who deeply bowed to Fang Mu before leaving his villa.
He returned to relay the message to the senior officials in Lu City.
Only with Fang Mu’s guarantee did Lu City dare to continue accounting for the losses.
Fang Mu planned to leave Lu City for his journey in two days.
The Soul Whale Princess not only gave Fang Mu the complete Dragon Ball of the Main Dragon Species, but there were also two Elemental Dragons in these Dragon Balls.
Fang Mu had initially planned to send the Soul Whale Princess a gift before leaving.
Since the Soul Whale Princess had agreed to bear the losses of Lu City, Fang Mu felt he didn’t need to specifically bring up the matter to the Soul Whale Princess again.
Doing so seemed like he didn’t trust the Soul Whale Princess.
However, since Fang Mu had promised the officials in Lu City, he planned to use the opportunity of giving the gift to the Soul Whale Princess to bring up the matter.
This could also be seen as giving the Soul Whale Princess some mental preparation.
90 trillion Dragon Rising Coins were certainly not a small amount!
Fang Mu used the half whale horn left to him by the Soul Whale Princess to contact her.
The Soul Whale Princess immediately responded to Fang Mu and appeared in front of him within ten minutes.
Normally, the Soul Whale Princess should communicate with Fang Mu through the whale horn, but right now, the Soul Whale Princess was in the sea near Lu City.
Responding to Fang Mu’s summoning by appearing immediately undoubtedly demonstrated her respect for Fang Mu.
