Chapter 537: Section 324: We are the victims

Teng Donglang nodded slightly, acknowledging Ice Eagle’s analysis.

Ice Eagle continued, “The City Lord of Snowbird Port is the key issue here, with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps being the second. All the trouble started due to this external force.”

Teng Donglang shook his head, “A mysterious assassin attempted an assassination last night; now it is absolutely impossible for us to make a move on them.”

“Once we make a move, it will confirm their accusation against us, making everyone believe we are trying to eliminate the victim.”

Ice Eagle then said, “At the docks, a large number of the City Guard has already been deployed—all these are arrangements made by the City Lord.”

“Now is not a good time to eliminate them.”

“But, there are many ways to handle this force. For instance, enticing them with high rewards. If we could get Long Fu to voluntarily withdraw his accusation, we would greatly alleviate the unfavorable situation we’re facing now.”

Teng Donglang looked at Ice Eagle and said, “The probability of success in enticing him would be rather low, wouldn’t it?”

“He’s the victim, the only two Mages in the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group were assassinated.”

“At this critical moment, if he were to withdraw the accusation, there would undoubtedly be a huge backlash against him within the mercenary group.”

“If I were Long Fu and I had to retract my previous accusations, it would be very difficult. My reputation in Snowbird Port would be greatly diminished, and no one would trust me again.”

But Ice Eagle said, “Gang Leader, it may seem unlikely that this would work, but after careful consideration, I think it’s not as implausible as it seems.”

“Look.”

“The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps is not just any ordinary Silver Level force; they’re backed by arms dealers. They are a group of smugglers.”

“They are special. Do you really think they only have two Mages in their ranks, Mages who don’t even reach Silver Level at that?”

Teng Donglang appeared thoughtful.

Ice Eagle continued, “Have you noticed, Gang Leader?”

“Even though Long Fu has publicly disclosed that we rigged the brave duel, he has not provided any evidence!”
