Huyan Lie's face changed instantly, but he was not too surprised. He had brought people to investigate where Song Xiaodong came from, and among them were members of the Cao Family. How could Cao Hong not know about this?
"Elder Cao, indeed, he is from the outside world, but I have already investigated his origins. They absolutely can't go back. We are in need of manpower, so I naturally want to recruit him for my own use."
Cao Hong sneered, "Recruit for your own use! Our city has always been united, but as soon as he arrived, he severely injured my grandson and crippled his Kung Fu, causing us to lose a capable general. Lord Huyan, this person you've recruited is quite something, isn't he?"
Huyan Lie took a deep breath, his face also darkening, "Elder Cao, as the City Lord, I prioritize everything for our city and its people. This matter has its reasons and it's completely not Mr. Song's fault, so I hope Elder Cao can let this matter slide for my sake."
