Chapter 1961: Changing His Mind

An'er's expression was extremely worried; Samuer had always followed the path of balance.

He used his three Red Skull commanders to keep each other in check, but now, he seemed to be changing his mind.

"This old thing must have changed his mind," Chen Yu said. "You must be careful; tonight's banquet is very likely a Hongmen Banquet."

"A Hongmen Banquet, is that the famous assassination event in Huaxia history?" An'er's expression turned gloomy.

He was well-versed in Huaxia history, so he knew exactly what kind of story the Hongmen Banquet was.

If it were truly as Chen Yu said, and tonight was a Hongmen Banquet, then it must be hiding murderous intent.

He had to find a way to resolve this assassination; Yizhou absolutely could not be decided by such an old thing.

"That's right. The shift in power within the Pope's circle has likely caused the power in his hands to show signs of spiraling out of control, so he is finding a way to keep you in check," Chen Yu nodded.

"Then should I go, or not?" An'er's brows furrowed slightly.

"If you don't go, he will have even more of a reason," Chen Yu said. "Right now, you are like someone with a soft rope around your neck; you can neither advance nor retreat."

"Then I will go. Kaza has been very dissatisfied with Samuer for years, and we have also reached a consensus these past few days. If our thoughts align, then today we will work together to get rid of him," An'er raised his head resolutely.

An'er was a person who acted as soon as he decided to, even though Samuer represented the official side to a certain extent.

But this man's power had grown greater over the years, and his ambition had expanded along with it.

An'er was someone who had nothing to lose; if that guy kept pushing him, An'er would not be polite to him.

"Kaza is also a man of courage; I believe you two have an understanding," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"I'll go prepare, mobilize all my elite forces and weapons, and just finish it," An'er said.

"That's not necessary. If you do that, you will alert him, and Samuer could label you a rebel at any time. I suggest you concentrate all your armed forces and stand by in full battle array," Chen Yu said.

"Then how many people should we take to the banquet?" Kaza thought for a moment and asked.

"It's enough for me to go with you," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "Who is going from the Pope's side?"

"Saintess Xueli. That old thing is a total lecher; this time, he actually set his sights on Xueli," An'er said hatefully. He really didn't know what was good for him.

"Indeed, his lecherous heart has truly taken over," Chen Yu nodded slightly. "Then I must go even more; I am quite familiar with Xueli."

"Good, then I will prepare and have my men stand by in full battle array. If he makes any unusual moves, we can strike there immediately," An'er nodded.

He was a ruthless man himself and would certainly not back down when encountering such a situation; he wanted to let the other party know his strength.

Soon, An'er's men were standing by in full battle array, and all armaments were prepared; with just one signal from An'er, the army could move out.

Samuer was a white-haired Western old man; this old thing even walked with a bit of a stagger.

Coupled with a serious illness not long ago, he had to rely on a cane to walk, and his posture while walking was also shaky.

The location he chose was a private villa in the distant suburbs; this place was secluded, far from the noise of the world.

"Everyone, you've all arrived, right?" After Samuer had the servant light a fire in the fireplace, he sat down.

Kaza and An'er had arrived; Kaza had brought quite a few people, all of whom were several kilometers away.

This guy was also extremely clever; he knew that coming here this time was definitely a Hongmen Banquet, so he had made preparations early on.

By comparison, An'er was relatively calm; he had only brought one guard with him, and this guard was none other than Chen Yu.

"Hehe, you've all come. Hmm, not bad, still as punctual as before. But those people from the Pope's side, they are always the last to arrive," Samuer nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since the power of the Red Skull was dismantled, he had occupied the dominant position.

The three great warlords all listened to him, so this guy could now be considered the strongest person in the Yizhou underground world.

Whether from the official side or the underground forces, he had few rivals.

"Mr. Samuer, long time no see," Kaza said with a smile. "I have been missing you very much. I wanted to find an opportunity to come here and visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

"Hehe, Kaza, you are still as cautious as before," Samuer leaned on his cane, pacing the room as he said leisurely, "You brought quite a few people this time, didn't you? They are several kilometers away?"

"This... because this meeting is of great importance, I was worried about any unforeseen events," Kaza said somewhat awkwardly. "I just brought a few more people; I meant nothing else by it. Please don't mind."

"Hmm, An'er is much bolder than you; at least he is fearless," Samuer glanced at Chen Yu and then said, "I just don't know what the background of this Huaxia kid he brought is?"

"I just drive for Lord An'er and help out; I don't have any special background. Mr. An'er likes Huaxia culture, and sometimes I play chess or brew tea with him," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

"Hmm, that is true. Ever since An'er got sick, he has believed in Buddhism and also particularly likes Huaxia culture," Samuer nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's just that his courage has grown along with it, hehe, unlike Kaza, who brought his own armed forces."

Samuer said with a chuckle, "But perhaps you don't know that this is of no use, because my surroundings are full of Zhamusi's men. He has already submitted to me; if your men make the slightest move, Zhamusi's artillery fire will cover your positions."

Although this old thing's tone was smiling as he spoke, the murderous intent inadvertently revealed in his tone was not diminished in the slightest.

Kaza's face suddenly turned ugly; his intentions had been completely grasped by this old thing.

He suddenly felt that all the arrangements he had made for so long seemed to be completely pointless.

Because this old thing had long been prepared, and Zhamusi was also one of the three commanders after the Red Skull disbanded.

This guy was also Kaza's old rival and knew his background best; if they really started fighting, to be honest, he was afraid he wouldn't get the better of it.

"Samuer, you called us here, surely not just to reminisce?" An'er said straightforwardly. "You must have your reasons; tell us what the reason is?"
