Chapter 896 - 896: This Old Man is Up to No Good!

“You…”

Shan Lianshan’s remarks left General Yak dumbfounded, his face turning a livid shade of green!

Yak wanted to retaliate but found all words meaningless.

At this point, Yak also didn’t dare say much!

Because Yak had already seen, in the other part of the tent, several other Division Commanders were beginning to stir, planning to nominate themselves.

At such a moment, if Yak were to prevent others from joining the nomination list, then Yak would become the public enemy.

“What, does General Yak oppose my suggestion? Or do you think the other generals are unqualified?” Shan Lianshan smirked devilishly, his eyes glancing over to the back of the hall, inwardly admiring Ye Fan to the extent of admiring him profoundly!

This strategy of dividing and conquering was extremely clever.

Allowing all Division Commanders to participate in the voting election, those who planned to support Yak might abandon him to fight for themselves. This would greatly reduce the support for Yak and, if the Red Tiger Domain still hid other powers, it would expose them all.

“No! I think what Elder General Shan said is absolutely right, every Division Commander here can speak up!” Yak gritted his teeth, glaring at the surrounding Division Commanders, and continued, “But let me warn everyone, the position of Commander of the Red Tiger Domain is not for everyone! Consider carefully if you can win the crowd’s approval! There are many eyes on this position, and you might just end up dead in a ditch in the middle of the night!”

A threat!

A blatant threat!

Yak made it very clear that he was determined to secure the position of Commander today. Anyone daring to compete with him for this position would not encounter mere acquiescence from him; he might even arrange an assassination.

The previously restless Division Commanders around him instantly quieted down quite a bit.

But among the hundreds of Division Commanders in the Red Tiger Domain, six or seven still spoke up, “I, Tan Mo, feel I am also qualified to compete!”

“I, Wu Mo, would also like to try; I hope everyone supports me!”

In just a moment, these people stepped forward, and some, even many of the generals, began to support them.

Some of the generals, who didn’t have other choices, such as those from the royal family and under Prince Jin, started turning their heads to choose other candidates!

“Damn it! Curse it!”

Yak’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot; he was nearly exploding.

This damn old fool is terribly cunning!

Damn it!

Elder Shan, this old bastard, it’s one thing for him to contradict me, but damn it, why call so many Division Commandors to get involved.

What’s the point of playing now?

Yak carefully observed Shan Lianshan, then his gaze shifted to Gu Changsheng.

Initially, nothing seemed amiss, but after carefully observing, Yak finally noticed something odd.

No!

Though Gu Changsheng looked very sad, the expressions around him, amongst those Direct Lineage Force from Gu Tang, seemed to have not a trace of sorrow?

Moreover, with so much chaos at the scene, these generals were not panicking at all? Moreover, several of them even had sneers of contempt on their faces… that’s mockery, that’s pity…

The same was true on Shan Lianshan’s side!

Shan Lianshan was somewhat normal, but some of the Division Commanders under him were actually quietly pulling out their phones to watch videos?

Damn it!

Can this be tolerated?

Brother, people are starting to kill each other on the spot, and you’re still in the mood to watch videos?

This is extremely unusual!

As Chris’s liaison embedded in Red Tiger Domain, Yak naturally has good abilities.

After briefly pondering, his expression started to become serious.

Initially, the atmosphere at the scene made Yak believe that Gu Tang had indeed died, but now, the situation made Yak start doubting the authenticity of Gu Tang’s death!

If Gu Tang hasn’t died, or is pretending to be dead to play along with a staged plot, wouldn’t everyone jumping out at the scene be exposed?

Although the news was already blocked within Red Tiger Domain, Yak, as Prince Chris’s spy placed in Red Tiger Domain, still got some information.

It was said that Gu Tang was revived and had woken up!

And the rescuer was a familiar name!

Ye Fan!

This guy, when he was in Vermilion Bird Domain, tormented Prince Chris to death and back to life.

The key point is that what this guy is best at is “faking death”.

He faked his death in the Northwest direction to go to the Capital, causing a huge upheaval, completely wiping out Prince Jin’s Direct Lineage Force in the Capital.

Now that Ye Fan has come to Red Tiger Domain, is he planning to repeat the previous strategy?

Yak involuntarily thought about the situation he initially suspected!

The scene had already been completely ignited, and many Division Commanders, although not openly opposing Yak, looked at him as if they wanted to eat him alive!

Because of Yak’s actions, he had obstructed too many people’s paths.

Now that it’s irrevocable, Yak sighed in frustration and felt helpless inside.

Although Yak had been developing in Red Tiger Domain for many years, it wasn’t easy as he had to defend against the native powers of Red Tiger Domain, as well as interference from the royal family and the people from Prince Jin’s side.

Climbing up to his current position and being able to gather so many followers was already rare.

“Cough cough! Everyone, please don’t misunderstand… I was just joking, testing everyone’s enthusiasm! Haha, since we’re aiming to be the Commander of Red Tiger Domain, we naturally have to face threats from multiple forces, everyone must hold on!”

Yak, thicker-skinned than city walls, quickly changed his attitude when he realized he could not stop things, and he then tried to steer the topic to something else.

Yak spoke again, causing the atmosphere at the scene to ease a bit, then continued, “However! Before we hold the meeting and vote, I have another question to confirm with everyone… That’s, Brother Gu, are you sure we shouldn’t try to resuscitate Old Mr. Gu again?”

“Old Gu has made invaluable contributions to Red Tiger Domain, if misdiagnosed and not really dead! If we hastily arrange a memorial hall and bury Old Gu like this, wouldn’t it be a bit too hasty? What if Old Gu was just faking his death and is actually still alive, wouldn’t our actions then become a joke?”

Yak deliberately emphasized the words “faking death” very heavily, and while speaking, exchanged glances with the surrounding Division Commanders.

The implication was already very clear!

And the surrounding Division Commanders were all shrewd, instantly understanding what Yak meant!

Damn!

Right, if Gu Tang was just faking death, then us jumping out so eagerly wanting to vie for the position of Commander, would surely be backstabbed in the future.

Being demoted would be the least of concerns…

Thinking this, that group of people almost without any hesitation exclaimed, “Right! General Yak is correct, we need to verify the body…”

“Don’t say it so harshly, we just want to send Old Gu off on his last journey, to reminisce about Old Gu! Young Master Gu, let us take a closer look at the Elder General! We really don’t have other intentions, we just want to express our feelings, please don’t overthink it!”
