Brother, I'll help you infiltrate the Empire. (Extra 19) / For His Majesty the Emperor, I'll study the law!

He actually possesses this ability; he hasn't used his full strength yet.

He's managed to hide all this time!

He actually wants to use his looks to steal from his great motherland.

"You beast!"

Luo Chen's change of appearance had a huge psychological impact on Lermontov.

He was on the verge of death, but Luo Chen's provocation made him shout out in anger on the spot.

Snap--

Luo Chen slapped him across the face and grinned maliciously.

"That's right... one should be filled with grief and indignation before dying."

"You look like you're bravely going to your death, making me feel like the bad guy."

After a final, furious roar, Lermontov truly died.

Even until the very moment of his death, Lermontov's face was filled with rage.

Chapter 137 Brother, I'll help you infiltrate the Empire. (+19)

A week has passed since the end of Lungmen Past.

The clean streets of the slum are lined with lush trees, their leaves shimmering with a vibrant green light under the sunlight.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, some hurrying along, others strolling leisurely, and everyone's face was filled with ease and joy.

Hoshiguma sat in the Lungmen Guard Department vehicle, following the convoy along the main road of Lungmen.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar slum, I felt as if I had traveled through time.

I spent less than two months on missions around Lungmen, and when I came back, Lungmen had changed completely.

"I heard that the head of the Reunion Movement is also named Luo Chen. He's done a pretty good job managing this slum."

Hoshiguma gazed at the streets, which were even cleaner and more orderly than those in the Upper City, and muttered to herself.

After receiving the signal network from Lungmen, the Action Team focused their attention on the Lungmen battle that had taken place over the past month.

And in this Lungmen Past, the most mysterious and most likely to generate discussion is...

He was the leader of the Reunion Movement who was shot in the knee and forced into retirement, but never showed his face.

People love gossiping about important characters who don't have much screen time, and Hoshiguma is no exception.

The viewpoint she prefers to agree with.

The fight between Jiu and Lin Yuxia was because they were fighting over a man who shared the same name as Xiao Chen.

Of course, she also knew that those two weren't the kind of people who were blinded by love; most likely, everything behind the scenes was orchestrated by Governor Wei.

However, it might actually be true.

That would be so interesting!

That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas.

After thinking for a while about the absurd plot of the soap opera, Hoshiguma thought of Luo Chen, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"I wonder how Xiao Swire sent him out to study again yesterday. I wonder if he will be able to satisfy Swire when he comes back this time."

"Sigh... If my expectations are too high, it will put a lot of pressure on him."

Hoshiguma didn't dare to have too many expectations of Luo Chen.

He just wants to retire peacefully in the Lungmen Guard Department and live a happy life.

Hoshiguma never even expected him to become a member of the Lungmen Guard Department.

Instead, she thought that if Luo Chen couldn't find a job, she would take him back to her home and support him, ensuring that Luo Chen would never starve.

The most important thing, no matter what, is that this child must not go astray.

At the same time.

In the vast, boundless wilderness.

Luo Chen, disguised as Lermontov, has already joined up with the remnants of the Imperial Reunion Movement in the wilderness.

Lermontov, you're still alive!

How did you get out?

Upon seeing Lermontov's appearance, Stuart exclaimed in surprise.

As the former commander of the Reunion Movement, a former Imperial soldier, even he had to exert a great deal of effort to escape from the massive brawl that day.

Lermontov, who was thought to be missing, has not been captured by the Reunion Movement and has been Rebirth Home.

He had already died in a street brawl.

Surprisingly, Lermontov not only survived, but also appeared to be unharmed.

This aroused his suspicion.

Luo Chen, of course, came out openly and honestly.

However, he couldn't reveal this reason, but he was also afraid that what he had made up wouldn't match Lermontov's personality and habits.

So he immediately made a face.

"Sigh... Don't even mention it. Those guys were cracking down too hard. It took me a lot of effort to escape."

"These days have been absolutely unbearable."

Stuart, on the other hand, carefully examined his buttocks.

It's an inhuman life, and it came at a considerable cost, yet there's no chance of any punishment. It seems the only remaining recourse is physical harm.

Who would even be interested in a middle-aged man like Lermontov? Did he get there by selling his body?

The thought of those shocking images sent a shiver down Stuart's spine.

"Anyway, it's good that you're still alive. As for how you escaped, you'll have to write a report for the Empire yourself."

"Okay. By the way, I'd like to change my name privately."

"Change your name?"

"That's right, from now on my name will be Luo Chen."

"What? Luo Chen isn't that...?"

Stuart's previously composed expression turned to astonishment and confusion in an instant, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

That expression seemed to say something.

Are you sick, or did I misunderstand something?

Luo Chen took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.

His eyes were filled with determination and resolve. His fists were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to concentrate all his resentment and discontent into that clench.

"That's right, it's Luo Chen, the chief of the Lungmen."

"I will never forget the pain and humiliation he brought me."

"I have made up my mind. I swear I will not rest until I avenge this humiliation. I will take his surname as a vow of revenge. I will take his surname."

"This is not just a name, but an inextinguishable belief in my heart that guides me on the path of revenge."

Stuart was filled with respect upon hearing this.

What kind of blow must Lermontov have suffered to change his own name?

Moreover, it was changed to the name of an enemy.

Is this a way of repeatedly reminding oneself not to forget the name of that enemy?

He felt that this blow had changed Lermontov.

He became a resolute warrior.

"Lermontov ...no, Luo Chen. I believe you can definitely achieve your revenge."

"I will do my best, but in the process, I will need the assistance of some like-minded partners."

As Luo Chen spoke, he turned his pleading gaze to Stuart.

Stuart sensed the unwavering conviction in Luo Chen.

This also stirred up his competitive spirit.

So he agreed without hesitation.

"Lemonto...no, Luo Chen. If there's anything I can do to help you, just tell me, and I'll definitely lend a hand."

"We are all defeated soldiers this time, and I will wash away our shame just like you."

Luo Chen had been waiting for him to say that.

As a Lungmen Guard Department officer, how could I possibly write a report to submit to the Empire?

However, as long as we don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems.

And now, Stuart is even answering questions first.

"Actually, you know my situation."

Luo Chen's heroic spirit suddenly froze, and then he lowered his head like a deflated balloon.

"If I report my escape journey to my superiors, my reputation will be ruined."

"Don't even mention revenge; all my colleagues in the Empire will see me as a clown."

"But that was a situation I had no choice but to do. If I hadn't done that, I would have fallen into the hands of the Reunion Movement."

"I care more about my mission than my reputation."

"But now my reputation is at stake with my mission, brother, what do you think I should do?"

Perhaps it was a mutual appreciation between men.

Or perhaps it was Luo Chen's genuine expression of not considering himself an outsider.

Stuart replied without the slightest hesitation:

"It's alright, I'll help you come up with a report to fool the higher-ups. I guarantee they won't find out about your problem."

Chapter 138 For His Majesty the Emperor, I Must Learn the Law!

The outer edge of the Chernobog Channel.

Amidst the swirling dust and yellow sand, an imperial military camp stands majestically.

At the heart of the military camp stood a tall communications tower.

At this moment, Luo Chen was with Stuart in the communications tower, reporting the situation over the past period to the Command Headquarters of the Third Army Group.

But.

Stuart did all the talking, while Luo Chen listened in.

After hearing the two men's report of defeat, the Command Headquarters adopted a relatively mild attitude.

A middle-aged man with a deep voice spoke to them from the other end of the communicator:

"While your defeat has caused enormous losses to the empire, it has also brought the mastermind behind it all Wei Yenwu, to the surface."

"Wei Yenwu used a clumsy performance to eliminate the Empire's influence in the slums, but his cleverness only lasted so long."

"He played all his cards, but failed to detect the Empire's strategy. Strategically speaking, the Empire still holds the initiative."
