Chapter 489: My Era!

Just thinking about it made him feel that the future was bleak!

His throat moved, and he said with a dry mouth, “Young Master Guo, your injuries haven’t healed yet. Why don’t you go back and wait for a few days? I think it might not be appropriate to go out today. Let’s forget about this matter. Besides, you’re always fighting and killing. It’ll affect our island’s image.”

Guo Jiangjia: ???

Since when did the Chief Councilor care about this? In the past, no matter what he did, the other party would not say anything unnecessary. What’s wrong with him today? Could he have been bewitched? He looked at Fred and then at Dude. Why are their eyes twitching? Are they really possessed?

It was obvious that he did not understand their secret signal at all, so he snorted and said, “Forget it, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to help. I specially took a look before I came in. This kid doesn’t have his bodyguards with him. I don’t believe that so many people can’t beat him up!”

!!

He paused and said in a dissatisfied tone, “Although it’s better to rely on yourself than on others, Mr. Fred is clearly on good terms with my family. We can be considered family friends. Why did I have to stand by and do nothing today? I’m also curious. Out of consideration for…”

“Young Master Guo!”

Fred felt that if he didn’t interrupt, his bottom would be exposed by his teammates! At that time, his situation would only become more difficult! If he wasn’t outside, he would want to find a hole and hide in it! Selling out teammates! Why is everyone so brainless!?

Lu Ming suddenly said, “So you’re family friends.”

Now Fred was shaking even more. Is the new president going to depose me with the next sentence? He couldn’t throw away years of his hard work just because of a few words from the little bastard!

He waved his hand and had his men surround the Guo family’s bodyguards. He said righteously, “I want to see who dares to touch him today! If you insist on attacking, step over my corpse first! However, you have to have the guts!”

These words reminded Dude. He immediately stood in front of Lu Ming and said, “Mr. Lu is my big brother and can be considered half a member of the Dodge Family. If you touch him, you will be making an enemy of the Dodge Family! I think the Guo Family doesn’t want to directly go against the Dodge Family, right?”

Guo Jiangjia was stunned on the spot by his teammate’s betrayal. What the hell?! Could it be that this kid had used the mysterious Eastern sorcery to control them? He said in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re sober? What makes him worthy of your protection? Are you brainwashed to cut ties with the Guo family for the sake of a small company’s boss?!”

He seemed to have thought of something and said, “Could it be that Mr. Fred’s daughter has taken a fancy to this gigolo? Even though I know that she’s old and wants to find someone to marry quickly, she can’t find this person, right? She can’t judge a man! Especially if this guy has offended me!”

Everyone on Justice Island knew that Mr. Fred’s daughter was a tigress. Due to her bad temper, the opposite sex had to avoid her because they were afraid that she would take a fancy to them! It was precisely this sentence that made many people look at her like they were watching a show. Fred was embarrassed.

Lu Ming looked at this farce and felt much happier. He felt that compared to finding fault, this was more like acting in a comedy. Then he said calmly, “The reason why they want to protect me is very simple—I’m the new president of Justice Island. I officially signed a contract not long ago. In other words, this is my territory.”

My territory?!

These words began to play in Guo Jiangjia’s mind. How is this possible?! How could a young man dressed so plainly be the new president?!

Isn’t he a distant relative of the Grand Secretary? He stared at Fred and Dude and suddenly remembered how the secretary had obviously treated Lu Ming as his master. It was as if everything had been explained. Was a distant relative just an excuse? At this point, he was still unwilling to believe this.

He forced a smile. “You must be lying! That’s impossible! Uncle Fred, this man is definitely lying, right?”

However, Fred nodded slowly. “Mr. Lu is right. He is the new president.”

How could that be!?

Guo Jiangjia swayed and sat on the ground. Lu Ming walked towards him with the gift bag. Just looking at that face made him feel like he was going to have a nightmare! Immediately after, he subconsciously closed his eyes, but there was no pain from his body for a long time.

A familiar voice came from above. “This is the last time. If you do it again, go to the other world to repent.”

He looked at the other party’s departing figure in a daze. For some reason, he felt like he had just survived a calamity. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was like a drowning person who had finally caught a duckweed, panting heavily! Lu Ming, who had unleashed his aura, was even fiercer than his father. He almost thought that he had seen the Grim Reaper!

How terrifying!

Such a person… will actually be the new president?

What’s going to become of Justice Island? He couldn’t imagine, but surely it would enter a new era?

…

Lu Ming strolled around for a while more. When he returned to the presidential palace, the sky was already close to dusk. Because he had officially signed the contract, arrangements were made for him to enter the president’s exclusive room. After Yu Yan found out about today’s matter, he rushed over and asked tentatively, “What’s your plan for the Dodge and Guo families?”

“Plan? Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”

Obviously, Lu Ming did not intend to make a decision today. Even if the secretary wanted to find out something, there was no way. This way, when these two families came knocking on his door, he would not be able to remind them what they should not do and what they should do. The secretary did not pursue the matter. After all, if he pressed on, it would only make the new president unhappy with him.

He then gave a knowing look and said, “President, I see that you only brought a few bodyguards with you this time. Do you need me to find a few Understanding Flowers for you? They might even be able to help you resolve your problems. I guarantee that they’re definitely beautiful. If you need them, I’ll call them over.”

“I’m married. I remember that it was in the news, right?”

Although he was talking about Understanding Flowers, both of them knew what he was referring to. However, Lu Ming was only interested in his wife. Other times, he was naturally focused on his work. He asked, “Are you very free? Have you counted the money clearly? I hope that I can see that you’ve finished counting the money tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I’ll think that your work efficiency is not good.

“If that’s the case, we might as well replace the staff!”
