Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3018 - 3038: It’s of Great Importance, I’ll Go with You!

"Cooperation?"

Lu Sen’s eyesight swept back and forth over the two, his face full of suspicion.

While what the two of them had said seemed plausible, Lu Sen’s intuition told him something was off.

With Bai Manmei’s strength and means, shouldn’t she have fully controlled the life of this deserter, threatening him to work for her?

Why would there be any talk of cooperation?

He certainly didn’t believe Bai Manmei would be so courteous to a deserter. Plus, he had heard the Human Clan speaking confidently, with a steady tone, showing no sign of fear. The combination of these two things was quite strange.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!

Bai Manmei spoke righteously, and since the matter involved the Demon Emperor, he had to be extra cautious.

His eyes flickered, and he had an idea, "This matter is so important, relying solely on yourself is still too reluctant. If things go wrong, wouldn’t that fail the trust put in you by senior management, making it hard to explain to the Demon Emperor?"

Bai Manmei stared at Lu Sen and said coldly, "What are you trying to do?"

Lu Sen let out a chuckle, "We’ll join you, of course. If this is done well, it’s a great achievement. Now that I’ve come across it, you wouldn’t think of keeping it all to yourself, would you?"

Bai Manmei frowned and said, "The more people involved, the greater the chance of the matter being exposed. Perhaps something I could have originally accomplished successfully will be ruined by your interference."

Lu Sen laughed, "How can you infiltrate on your own? We are stronger with more people, which also makes us more likely to be taken seriously. It will be easier for us to gather information about the Great Wilderness Saint, don’t you think?"

He paused for a moment, then Lu Sen reminded in an ambiguous tone, "If you try to take all the credit for this, don’t blame me if I accidentally let something slip!"

Bai Manmei was starting to feel anxious. Why was this guy still persisting?

She herself wasn’t afraid of entanglements with Lu Sen, but she was worried Lin Chen would become annoyed.

If Lin Chen got annoyed, wouldn’t she be the one to suffer?

Who else’s life was in Lin Chen’s hands, unable to control her own life and death?

Bai Manmei had never felt so powerless, but now she had no choice but to buck up and continue playing her role, "I’m just a newcomer in the Mercenary Association, I’ve never been to the Great Wilderness before, they won’t recognize me. But you are an old man of the Mercenary Association, what if you are recognized?"

Lu Sen smiled slightly, "Even if I am recognized, it doesn’t matter. Although we are senior management of the Mercenary Association, our identity is still that of mercenaries. We aren’t from the Demon God Temple, and we have no grudges with the Great Wilderness Palace. Isn’t the rule of mercenaries to work for whoever pays?"

"Since you’re going to the Great Wilderness Palace with that Human Clan, and you’re preparing to infiltrate their ranks, surely you’ve thought of a good excuse. If we’re all mercenaries, what’s the difference between one or a group?"

Bai Manmei was inwardly complaining, thinking about how to continue refusing him when Lin Chen suddenly spoke up, "Do mercenaries check if their Employers are from the Human Clan or the Demon Race when taking on a mission?"

Lu Sen replied without hesitation, "Mercenaries only look at the risk of the mission and the reward; who publishes the mission is not important. Of course, during these special times with the two worlds at war, certainly some sensitivity is needed..."

Lin Chen calmly answered, "I’ve spent a lot of money for you to escort me to the territory of the Great Wilderness Palace, to find the Human Clan scouts who entered the Demon World years ago. Attracted by the price, you accepted my employment and dispatched powerhouses to escort me."

"I’m afraid of death, so I offered a bit more money, hiring a few more powerhouses. As a wealthy person, someone not lacking in Spirit Stones, it’s reasonable to hire a few more people, right?"

"As mercenaries, not knowing my identity as someone from the Human Clan, you accepted my employment to escort me into the Great Wilderness Palace to complete the mission of searching for people, which is also reasonable, right?"

"As for how we will act after we get there, that will depend on the specific circumstances, but no matter what, at least the journey there will be completely justified, won’t it?"

Lu Sen frowned slightly. He instinctively glanced at Bai Manmei and noticed that her cold eyes seemed to soften a little.

Lu Sen found it increasingly strange. Why did it feel like this Human Clan was in command while Bai Manmei seemed subordinate?

No, he had to keep up!

This was a great opportunity to target Bai Manmei. If he could prove that what she said was fake or that she was colluding with this Human Clan, then her doom was sealed!

If he turned back now, whether they went to the Great Wilderness Palace or searched for the Great Wilderness Saint, it would all be unsubstantiated. It wouldn’t be easy for him to target her later on.

This opportunity couldn’t be missed!

No matter whether she was genuinely working for the Demon Emperor or it was a deception, he had to follow them, supervising her every step of the way!

After all, Bai Manmei was alone, and they were many. No matter what tricks Bai Manmei tried to play, it would be pointless!

Though he still harbored suspicions about Lin Chen and Bai Manmei’s relationship, Lu Sen’s demeanor seemed convinced on the surface.

"All right, it’s settled then!"
