My starting summon is a small skeleton - Chapter 426: The current situation of elder number 423

Chapter 426: The current situation of elder number 423

Region 1, Elder Mountain.

More than a month had passed, and the group of elders on Elder Mountain had once again convened in the meeting room.

This time, nearly half as many people had come compared to the last time, but of course, no one was absent.

Those who remained all bore injuries.

Impatience was written on everyone’s face.

“Why did we enter into seclusion if we’re being summoned again? What’s the matter this time?”

“Let’s get one thing straight. I came here, but my wounds haven’t healed, and I really don’t want to deal with that mess outside.”

“And another thing, if this is about Lu Wu again, spare me your words. I’ll turn around and leave immediately!”

Several elders expressed their current attitude as soon as they entered the scene.

Their demeanor made Zhao Xue’en, who had called the meeting, look displeased, but Fei Yinghao’s face was even more unsightly than Zhao’s.

“Do you old fools have any sense of crisis at all?

Do you not realize what Lu Wu has done in the past month?”

The remaining few elders shook their heads: “Really? You summoned us here just for Lu Wu?

Are you guys that bored?

Can you not focus on him and make things uncomfortable for yourself?”

“Don’t you know he’s a pawn of the Zeroers and Lu Haikong’s son, with a power possibly formed to resist Return to Zero behind him?

With such a complex background, why bother with him?”

“Besides, didn’t he just destroy the Zero Organization and create a Dark Organization?

These are minor issues; as long as he doesn’t stir up trouble on our alliance’s side and tear the sky apart, we shouldn’t bother with him!”

At this point, only six elders remained in the Elder Council.

And yet, even among these six, there were still three different opinions regarding Lu Wu.

One faction, led by Fei Yinghao alone, steadfastly believed that Lu Wu was a disaster and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The second faction was the laissez-faire group headed by Zhang Mingge.

They thought Lu Wu was the root of all the trouble, with the madman Return to Zero watching behind him.

Touching Lu Wu was equivalent to touching endless trouble, so it was better to completely ignore him.

The last view belonged to Zhao Xue’en, the second of the Elder Council, who believed that Lu Wu still needed to be watched. Killing him wasn’t possible, but Lu Wu’s actions had to be restrained.

At this moment, three different opinions clashed in the meeting room.

And because Dudu had once made an appearance and caused trouble on Elder Mountain, there was now a sense of “once bitten, twice shy” among the group of old men.

Most stood with Zhang Mingge.

“Doing nothing is indeed the easiest, but have you thought about what stance Lu Wu currently holds towards our Elder Council, towards the Alliance?

You’ve read his file and have a certain understanding of him.

You must know he’s the type to repay an eye for an eye.

Pang Duddu died on Elder Mountain. Do you think he can swallow that down?

He will seek revenge!

That’s for sure! Just look at what happened to the Zero Organization!

If we don’t handle him soon, the day he turns against the Alliance will come.

By then, the price we’ll have to pay to deal with him will be completely different from today!”

Fei Yinghao pounded the table, looking down at Zhang Mingge and the others.

Zhang Mingge shook his head and sneered, “You’re being alarmist!

First off, Lu Wu isn’t a fool; from how he dealt with the Zero Organization, it’s clear he now understands the fate that’s being controlled.

Right now, all his effort is focused on resisting the Zeroer.

In the short term, he won’t have the resources to cause trouble for the Alliance.

So, the more we ignore him now, the less likely he will turn his attention to us. If we do engage him, that’s when real trouble will start.

I still suggest we do nothing and just watch.

Time will drive him crazy, and it will also be his undoing. The Zeroer won’t let him wreak havoc for too long.”

“This is inaction!

You’re basing the safety of the Alliance entirely on one man; what if one day Lu Wu goes mad and decides to take on the Alliance?”

“Doing nothing is better than acting blindly.

The possibility you’re talking about is practically zero.

Besides, even if such a scenario does emerge, we aren’t without ways to respond!

We’re well aware of what Lu Wu did to the Zero Organization. In the end, it was all because the Zeroer let him be.

Should he turn against the Alliance, when necessary, I have a hundred ways to deal with him!”

Zhang Mingge pounded the table, confidently looking at Fei Yinghao and Zhao Xue’en.

His words effectively silenced both Fei Yinghao and Zhao Xue’en.

The two were stunned. Just as Fei Yinghao was about to speak, Zhao Xue’en’s phone rang, interrupting him.

Zhao Xue’en glanced at the incoming number and answered the call.

The moment he took the call, his face darkened instantly.

A minute later, Zhao Xue’en ended the call with a “I understand.”

Then, he looked up at Zhang Mingge across from him, his gaze and expression oddly peculiar, causing Zhang to feel somewhat uneasy.

“What is it? Whose call was that? What’s making you have that look?”

Zhao Xue’en paused for a moment before saying, “It was a call from the Alliance, concerning Lu Wu.”

“Lu Wu? What now? Could it be he found the First Envoy of the Zero Organization?

No, that can’t be right; the First Envoy is not weak, even if he did find him, he shouldn’t be able to take him down.

Or did he take over another base?”

“It’s not about the Zeroes!”

“It’s not about the Zeroes?”

Zhang Mingge’s uneasy premonition grew: “Don’t tell me…”

Zhao Xue’en didn’t bother to beat around the bush anymore and said directly, “Lu Wu just called the Alliance and gave us three days to hand over the Gate Fragment from the treasury, or else he’ll annihilate the entire Alliance!”

Zhao spoke with helplessness, but at his words, Fei Yinghao immediately became excited.

“Didn’t I say so? I told you that kid was a disaster waiting to happen. Keeping him around would eventually bring harm to us. You didn’t believe me, and now, see what has happened?

He barely got rid of the Zero Organization, and now he’s turned towards us!

He even dared to say he would annihilate the Alliance, surely you can’t keep tolerating this anymore?

Zhang Mingge, you said you had a hundred ways to deal with him, right? Now’s your chance to prove it!”

But at this moment, Zhang Mingge, after a brief shock, also began to show a chilling expression.

“Ungrateful brat!”
