Chapter 433 - A Genius
He was once known for his arrogance, but after the incident at the Great Wall of Iron Blood, he had become much more restrained.
His originally inverted triangle eyes also drooped with his calm temperament, making him seem a little benevolent.
But legend has it that after his temper became better, Saxton became even more ruthless. He no longer casually beat and scolded his subordinates like before.
However, whenever he discovered that anyone he met had an ulterior motive, he would not hesitate to show force.
It was also because of this change that the Anglo-immortal Economic Cooperation Alliance was able to withstand such a major change,
They were still able to hold their ground and prevent a strategic collapse.
Generally speaking, the outside world still had a high opinion of Saxton. Everyone agreed that he was a person who was feared by both external enemies and internal rebels.
He was only about 400 years old. With time, he would definitely become an important figure like the Dark Dragon Alliance"s leader, Ming Yue.
And now, this giant tower-like figure was sitting opposite Lei Luo.
He was dressed in a long robe and had shaved his hair. He looked like an ascetic.
"The leader"s clothes are really retro?"
In order to not reveal his guilty conscience, Lei Luo teased him with a smile.
"Yes, I"m religious now. This way, I can kill people without any distracting thoughts."
Saxton"s reply could be said to be nonsensical. However, judging from his expression, he looked serious and did not have any intention of joking.
Lei Luo could only smile awkwardly.
"The president should have already seen our plan. What do you think?"
Lei Luo tried to bring the topic back to the topic he wanted to discuss.
"I need a general. You are a good general."
Obviously, Saxton did not plan to do as he wanted, and his answer once again made Lei Luo confused.
"I don"t quite understand what the alliance leader means."
Lei Luo was clearly confused.
"I think that you probably don"t quite understand your own situation yet," Saxton said as he leaned forward slightly.
"Half a month before you came, Strachey sent a letter, asking me to kill you when you came. During the three days that you were here with me, Strachey asked me to kill you as many as twelve times."
"I am an ally of His Highness Ulysses. As His Highness Ulysses"s teacher, Strachey would never give such an order."
Although Lei Luo spoke firmly, he actually felt a chill run through his heart.
"Sometimes, I really can"t imagine why a smart person like you would believe in such a meaningless alliance."
Saxton shook his head in disbelief.
"Only with strength can there be an alliance. Only with equal forces can there be an equal alliance...May I ask, what do you have?"
"Since the alliance leader has no interest in our cooperation, then there"s no need for us to continue talking."
Lei Luo stood up as he spoke.
"If you really want to leave, I won"t stop you. However, I personally don"t think that what you"re doing is wise."
"Since the alliance leader doesn"t want to take back the Great Wall of Iron Blood, then Lei Luo naturally has nothing to say. Although we"re weak, the empire is so big. There"s always a place for us to go."
"Us?" Saxton stretched his body slightly. "Do you still have "us" now?"
Lei Luo stared at Saxton. His chest was throbbing violently, and a strong sense of unease spread throughout his body. He did not even dare to question Saxton.
Saxton slowly stood up. When he walked to the window, his huge body covered the entire window, and the room instantly became much darker.
"Lei Luo, I"ve seen too many people in my life. I can tell at a glance just how much real talent a person has. Do you know how many times the distant mountain Lord asked me to a.s.sist him in sending fleets to attack you when you took down the Holy City of Beauty? However, I didn"t agree to it. It"s not because I"m afraid of Prince Ulysses. As the leader of the Independent Alliance, I have nothing to do with any of the dukes, let alone Prince Ulysses, who doesn"t know what his future will be like. Even if it"s King Beichen, why should I be afraid of him?"
Saxton turned to look at Lei Luo.
"I did this because of what you did. It made me realize clearly that you are a rare talent. What we need most now is a talent like you. As long as you join us, we only need three years to defeat the Phoenix Alliance and become a Super Alliance alongside the Dark Dragon Alliance. As long as you are willing to join us now, within three years, you will be able to become a deputy alliance leader and have the right to inherit."
"Thank you for your kindness, alliance leader. I have already found a job in East G.o.d."
Lei Luo stood where he was and spoke indifferently.
"Then I"m afraid you have already lost your job."
As Saxton spoke, he walked to the table and took out a magic crystal. Soon, a three-dimensional projection appeared on the spot.
"Due to the violent acts of Morton, the galactic financial magnate, in the past few months, it caused a huge public outrage and caused an uprising throughout the entire city. The commander of the First Fleet, the current chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, Lord Karman, and the Second Fleet"s commander, the current Vice Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, Commander Zha Mu, jointly issued an order to execute Morton in Rose Square three days from now, using the public outrage..."
Hearing this, Lei Luo"s mind buzzed, and he could not hear anything.
"This was just released ten minutes ago in the Holy City of Beauty," Saxton said as he turned off the Magic Crystal and continued, "That"s right. You are extremely smart, but why haven"t you ever thought that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind? Do you know that ever since you took over the city, various forces have sent their own people to serve as the old subordinates of the East G.o.d? They entered your army in order to catch you off guard at the right time. And the one who contributed the most was none other than your good ally, Ulysses."
"Do you have anything more to say?"
Lei Luo"s expression was frighteningly calm.
"No more."
"Then I"m leaving."
As Lei Luo spoke, he turned around and left.
"Even if you know you"re going to die, are you going to go back?"
"I"m going to see Morton."
"He"s probably already dead."
"Then I need to go collect his body."
After Lei Luo finished speaking, he did not say anything more to Saxton and left the living room.
When he walked to the door, he saw Allie sitting outside.
Allie stood up as soon as she saw him.
Her face was pale. She had just learned about the situation in the Holy City of Beauty.
