Chapter 540

These people were, according to the intelligence reports, all honest and decent folk.

They didn't have so many distracting thoughts.

If Eula wanted to take control of the Lawrence Clan, she would need their help.

Very soon,

After Eula gathered the clan members and laid the matter out clearly, it immediately caused a tremendous shock.

None of them had expected Eula to be so decisive.

But they also realized this was an excellent opportunity.

Although there would be pain, once the pain passed, things could recover.

After all, no one wanted to keep being cursed at by people outside.

Therefore,

With the unanimous support of the remaining clan members,

Eula officially became the new head of the Lawrence Clan!

And the only female head in the entire history of the Lawrence Clan!

After taking office, she announced her first order.

"The era of the old aristocracy is over. The Lawrence Clan will be reborn from the ashes.

Here, I announce the stripping of the Lawrence Clan identity from Schubert and several dozen others.

Then post a public notice throughout Mondstadt! Finally, hand them over to the Knights of Favonius for handling."

This was a decision she had thought through carefully.

Since they took pride in the Lawrence surname,

she would strip that surname away from them.

That was surely, for them, harder to bear than death.

As for posting the public notice,

it was to show Mondstadt's citizens her stance.

The Lawrence Clan was beginning to change!

"We obey the clan head's command!"

Not a single clan member below objected.

Clearly, they too supported Eula's decision.

Yet inwardly, their impression of this new clan head began to shift as well.

They had assumed she would simply use force to deal with Schubert and his lot.

They hadn't expected her to be just as decisive when handling affairs.

She was bound to be an outstanding clan head!

That was the shared thought of every clan member.

At the same time, their hearts grew ever more reverent.

Very soon,

with the spread by those who had an eye for such things,

the news that Eula had single-handedly resolved Schubert and the others with thunderous methods

spread directly throughout all of Mondstadt.

It also set off a chain of shockwaves…

……

Jieyou Bookshop.

Han Feng's side also received the news very quickly.

However, it wasn't sent by Eula,

since she didn't yet have Han Feng's number as a friend on her phone.

So she had asked Jean to help pass the word along to Boss Han.

Once she finished dealing with the clan's affairs, she would come to the manga shop in person to formally thank Boss Han.

"Another Wu Zetian-like figure has been born."

Looking at the message on his phone, a hint of emotion crossed Han Feng's face.

Still, Eula's difficulty was far lower than Wu Zetian's had been.

Wu Zetian had fought her way up in a male-dominated society.

But in Mondstadt, there was no discrimination against women.

Take Jean, and the first Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Venessa—

both were women.

Even so, having the resolve to take that step was rare and precious.

Just then,

a pink door appeared from within the manga shop.

Then Lumine sis and Paimon walked in together with little Klee.

"Boss Cou, we're back!"

Little Paimon flew excitedly onto the dining table.

This trip had worn her out completely.

She was going to have a big feast now to make up for her weary little heart.

Little Klee was the same.

After greeting Brother Han Feng, she happily mooched a meal.

"Didn't you say you'd run into trouble? How did you get back so quickly?"

Looking at Lumine taking her seat, Han Feng was slightly curious.

"Well, it's because Mr. Zhongli, who had disappeared, suddenly came back…"

Lumine told Han Feng the whole process of what happened.

Han Feng understood now.

It turned out that after Zhongli went to Bubulu, he revealed his identity to Lumine, the Young Master, and the others.

Regarding this point,

Zhongli had also given it some thought.

Since the adepti already knew his identity,

there was no need for him to hide it any further.

Besides, to avoid any unexpected situations,

he still went ahead and said it out loud.

Of course, the people he told weren't many—just the key figures.

"I never would have thought that Mr. Zhongli was actually the Geo Archon, and that this was all a fake death."

Thinking back on everything that had happened, Lumine still wore a look of deep emotion on her face.

At the same time, she felt a bit sullen inside.

Because of this fake death, she had almost been wanted again.

This was already the second time…

"Oh right, after the Young Master learned this truth, he actually looked pretty down."

Little Paimon said, butting in while holding a cake in one hand.

Han Feng wasn't surprised by this.

How could he not be down?

He'd been busy the whole time, only to gain nothing in the end.

In the original plot, he had even lost his temper on the spot and directly summoned the demon god Osial.

"Boss Zou, why are you guys reacting so calmly?"

Little Paimon was a little curious.

Earlier, when she and Lumine had learned this news, they had been utterly shocked.

Having one Barbatos who doesn't do his job is already ridiculous enough.
