Chapter 1027: The Backing Of The Wandering Head Bandit
Lin Wu’s efforts at sowing chaos were working a little too good.
In just two weeks he had sent not just the Second Light city into chaos, but even the Core of the Hu clan was now shaken.
But among the core, there were two members who were especially shaken.
In a large and luxurious private courtyard, these two were currently sitting.
These were none other than Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui!
“Elder brother, we cannot let this continue on any longer.” Hu Shui spoke, distress in her voice.
“You think I don’t know that?” Hu Peiliang retorted but his expression was still.
“I don’t mean that, Elder Brother. But that we need to stop the fake Wandering Head Bandit.” Hu Shui replied.
“Of course! But how are we to find out where or who it is? All the efforts by the branches were failed.” Hu Peiliang said, a hint of frustration appearing on his face.
The last two weeks were distressing to Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui.
Much to their surprise, the Wandering Head Bandit had made his reappearance and had started to kidnap people left and right. Not just that, but he was extremely brazen and demanded tall ransoms, which simply could not be paid.
So far there were no people that had been returned by the bandit. After all, there was no one who could pay the ransoms that were set by him.
Some did try to trick him by saying that they were paying ransom and use that opportunity to capture him.
But this only backfired on them as they got kidnapped too. And the newly kidnapped people had their ransoms doubled!
Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui now doubted the reality.
“Should we send out the Wandering Head Bandit? It’s obvious that the fake is trying to lure out the real. He’s spoiling the image and reputation of the true Wandering Head Bandit.” Hu Shui suggested.
“Who’s the fake and who’s the real Wandering Head Bandit? The fake seems to have a skills way beyond the real one… do you think he can go against him?” Hu Peiliang questioned.
After all, the Wandering Head Bandit was one of their trump cards.
The truth about the Wandering Head Bandit had been hidden by the two siblings for a long time.
In fact, the real Wandering Head Bandit had been working for them since the start. All the things he had done was according to their orders and everything was well coordinated.
There was a reason why the man had not been caught ever before and why he could always escape the Hu clan by the hair’s edge, he was working for the Hu clan members from the start!
He had inside information as to who needed to be kidnapped and who needed to be killed.
With his skills, the Wandering Head Bandit was a useful trump car for Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui. They could get rid of small obstacles or weaken their opponents secretly by making use of the man.
This was also why they had ordered the man to enter hiding forty years ago. He had picked up too much heat from the Hu clan, and there was a chance the high elders of the core might act.
Thus to save their trump card for future, they ordered him to go into hiding.
Only now did they bring him out, as there was a new thorn that had been causing trouble for them.
This was none other than their younger sibling Hu Dagao. His recent expansion and investments within the six branches were against the interests of the two heirs and were touching upon their profits too.
It was clear that the tenth heir needed to be taken care off.
But it could not be done in the usual way, not to mention they had also learned the Hu Dagao had grown stronger in this time.
“We went so far as to use a Spatial Sealing Formation and the Bronze Imprisonment mirror for Hu Dagao, there is no way we can continue to take losses.” Hu Peiliang spoke.
“Should we kill him now elder brother? Even if his life bead breaks in the clan, it should be fine since we can just blame the Wandering Head Bandit for it now.” Hu Shui replied in a cold tone.
Hu Peiliang thought over it and hesitated before shaking his head.
“No… if we do it right now, it is very likely the patriarch might make a move himself.” Hu Peiliang stated. “Rather than that, we need to first see who is it that’s playing with us. They clearly know that the Wandering Head Bandit they are using is the fake.” He added.
“Yes, with skills like that, they have no use to make the expert look like the Wandering Head Bandit. If it was a demonstration of power, they could have done it openly. But their actions are clearly targeted against us.” Hu Shui said after analyzing.
“Whoever it might be, I don’t think they are alone either.” Hu Peiliang replied. “We need to take the steps carefully.”
“Yes… I’ll send out the Wandering Head Bandit then. As long as he can bring out the real mastermind behind it, it’ll be worth even if he dies.” Hu Shui said without a care.
“Mmhmm, do it.” Hu Peiliang said before standing up. “I’ll go check on father. I don’t trust the elders to keep him placated for long.” He explained.
“Of course.” Hu Shui agreed.
The two of them divided their duties and went to do their tasks.
Of course none of them were aware that the perpetration behind it all wasn’t even targeting them mainly. His main goal was to create simple chaos, that would give him plenty of chances to grow.
~GULP~
Deep below the Second Light City, the sound of something large being swallowed was heard.
“There we go… that should be enough Hu clan members.” Lin Wu said with a deadly smile on his face.
