Borrowing Power!

Lighthouse.

Lu Family Manor.

After listening to Lu Qianhe's report, the gloom on Lu Canglong's face did not improve in the slightest.

He glanced toward the other side of the table, at the fat man who wore a smile at all times, and asked doubtfully:

"Is this method truly feasible?"

"This humble merchant dares guarantee it with his head—this plan will succeed!" Zhu Houcai declared solemnly. "And even if it fails, the Chen Family and Zhou Family will send people over."

"They have invested so much into this planet. They will certainly find a way to recoup their costs."

Upon hearing this, the worry between Lu Canglong's brows showed no sign of easing. Instead, it deepened.

After weighing his words, he said:

"But if the [Demon Core] planted inside Liu Wenjian detonates, Huaxia will become like Sakura Island, polluted by Demon Qi Erosion as well..."

"Wouldn't that be somewhat counterproductive?"

"Elder Lu, that is where you are mistaken!" Zhu Houcai shook his head with a cheerful smile, a sharp glint flashing through his narrowed eyes. "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb."

"Without the huge disturbance caused by Demon Qi pollution, why would the Overlord Army of the Neptune Domain bother with what is happening in this remote star sector?"

"If they do not intervene, how can we make use of them and have them do our bidding?"

"Lu Li's methods are devious and unpredictable. Elder Lu, you have seen that for yourself."

"If we do not pay even a small price, do you intend to personally handle things like Chen He and Zhou Ping'er?"

Hearing this, Lu Canglong closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and sighed softly.

He did not actually agree with Zhu Houcai's approach.

After all, the Lu Family's roots lay on Earth.
