The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom!

With a loud bang, half of the shopping mall building collapsed.

Customers who had already fled, as well as passersby, all looked at the building, which was almost completely covered in dust, with expressions of horror on their faces.

Don't they evacuate people beforehand when they're going to blow up something?

The clash between the two armies was no different from a small-scale battle between two grandmaster-level experts; how could ordinary buildings possibly withstand it?

Finally, the two sides stopped fighting when the police arrived.

Neither the Ye family nor Lu Yuan took the disciplinary team seriously, but if the fighting continued, the consequences would be unpredictable. Before any casualties were suffered, it would be better to stop now.

At this point, it must be said that there were some experts in the disciplinary team who knew when to play dumb and when to show up, thus providing a convenient way out.

"Walk."

Not counting the time he slapped Ye Hongyuan, broke Ye Quan's arm, and smashed the Ye family's shopping mall building, he didn't seem to have suffered any losses. With a shout, Lu Yuan led his men into the car and left.

"A gentleman would not leave this grudge unavenged!"

Watching Lu Yuan stride away, Ye Hongyuan touched her already swollen cheeks, gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.

But looking back at the half-collapsed building, another headache ensued.

With such a huge loss, I'm afraid Grandpa won't let him off easily; he'll inevitably face a severe punishment when he gets back.

Thinking of this, he became even more resentful of Lu Yuan and vowed to kill him.

"Achoo!"

Inside the car, Lu Yuan rubbed his nose and turned on the music.

Ye Hongyuan is nothing to him; he's not even in the top tier of those who want to kill him, so he's not worth his attention at all.

To the accompaniment of soothing music, the convoy drove through the main road and finally arrived at the Shen family's residence.

After entering the city, we need a place to stay. Although the Shen family may not be reliable, Shen Fuyue can still be trusted.

"Young master, the master wants you to come over."

The four-room mansion had just been settled when a steward came to invite them.

The timing was tight.

Lu Yuan smiled and followed directly to see Shen Fuyue.

In the same small courtyard, Shen Fuyue sat, having already brewed tea.

As someone from the last century, Shen Fuyue's habits were somewhat outdated.

After Lu Yuan arrived, the butler left immediately, leaving only the father and son in the courtyard.

"Try it, this year's new tea."

Shen Fuyue poured Lu Yuan a glass, then picked up his own glass and slowly sipped it.

Lu Yuan sat opposite Shen Fuyue without moving, and said with a smile.

"You don't need to pay, right?"

"No money will be charged for the tea."

"whispering sound."

"What are you tsk about? You're really tsk now!"

Shen Fuyue glared at Lu Yuan and said irritably.

"I've put in so much money and effort to build this base for you! You've been so reckless and unscrupulous, and I've taken the blame and shouldered so many burdens for you!"

"Old man! You're lying! Were you doing this for me? You were doing it for that energy mine! You helped me, that's fine, but why didn't you tell me how much you made!"

Lu Yuan got more and more excited as he talked, and even seemed a little aggrieved.

"Don't forget, it's a 60/40 split! I've almost risked my life countless times for this mine, while you're comfortably counting your money in the city. It's like I'm the one taking advantage of you!"

"You can't say that. I handled everything: mining, transportation, refining, and sales."

"Alright! How about we just break up and the cooperation ends here? Your people can leave, and I'll manage this mine myself from now on!"

"You little bastard! You're trying to discard me after I've served my purpose!"

Shen Fuyue slammed his hand on the table, spilling his pot of freshly brewed tea all over the table.

Lu Yuan gave a soft hum, picked up the remaining half-cup of tea, and sipped it down.

"Alright, let's stop arguing, you and I."

Shen Fuyue waved his hand and then said something else.

"Let's keep things as usual."

"It's fine as usual. I don't have many good points, but I'm sentimental."

Lu Yuan nodded, still somewhat uneasy, and asked another question to confirm.

"Aren't you jealous of my base?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not envious, but I'm not so low as to steal food from a junior's bowl."

Shen Fuyue gave a soft hum and poured Lu Yuan another cup of tea.

With Shen Fuyue's words, Lu Yuan felt half relieved.

The reason why some people insist on bringing Lu Yuan back this time is because they see him as a big piece of fat meat and want to take a big bite out of him, or even swallow him whole!

Aside from that energy-absorbing mine, Lu Yuanfei also got fat at that base.

The base has no resources and cannot be immediately monetized, but you must understand that the base is territory! All the territory now will become real land once the North Kan City is established.

Land in the city is a hundred times more precious than gold!

No one expected that in just one year, Lu Yuan would not only gain a foothold in the Northern Wilderness, but also be able to build such a base.

Looking across the Northern Wilderness now, it ranks second only to the official authorities and the seven major martial arts groups, and even surpasses the strongholds that those big families have devoted all their efforts to building.

The North Kan Fortress will definitely be built, and the value of Lu Yuan's base is self-evident.

If we wait until the city is completed, it will be too late. So now, we need to fight for the right to speak and control over this base.

As for who specifically wants to compete, and who is qualified to compete, it is nothing more than the Shen family and the Starry Sky Club.

The construction of Lu Yuan's base almost entirely relied on the Shen family for resources. Although the Starry Sky Club provided no supplies, it's important to remember that the base has always been registered under the Starry Sky Club's name.

Compared to those powerful martial artists, Lu Yuan is still very weak. At this moment, possessing this base is like a child carrying gold in a bustling city.

Therefore, the danger of returning this time is self-evident, which is why Xia Banzhu is so worried.

"Thank you, sir."

Now that Shen Fuyue has expressed his opinion, it's like one less major enemy. Lu Yuan smiled and poured tea for Shen Fuyue.

In this way, he can focus on dealing with the Starry Sky Club.

"Although I don't want yours, the guild hall will never let this land go."

Shen Fuyue held the teacup, his expression serious.

"What are your plans?"

"What else can I do? I won't even give it to you, let alone them."

"..."

Shen Fuyue was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Bai Luyuan and sighed softly.

"I'm afraid if you don't give it to them, they'll just take it from you."

"Hmph, try me if you dare!"

"It's good that you're prepared."

Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Shen Fuyue knew that he had at least made mental preparations, so he paused slightly and then spoke.

"After all, I am still the head elder of the association, so I will not interfere this time."

"Should we remain neutral?"

"right."

"...Alright."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

He has indeed accumulated some strength, but it is still too weak compared to the Starry Sky Hall.

The most obvious point is that if the guild sends out a grandmaster-level expert, Lu Yuan will probably be unable to cope.

Now that Shen Fuyue has stated his position, he will not help either side. In other words, if the guild really sends a grandmaster-level expert, he will have to fight it himself.

"However..."

"I'm under a lot of pressure," Shen Fuyue suddenly said with a smile.

"If you give me your newly discovered coal mine, I can help you fend off the Grandmaster-level experts from the guild."

"Um?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback. How did this old man know?

He then snorted coldly and poured the remaining tea from the cup onto the ground.

"Don't even think about it!"
