The Last Commander of the Red Alert
Chapter 94: Life is a Play, It’s All About Acting

Lu Yong returned with Spy to Base City, heading straight for the central hall of Base City.

"Lu Yong greets all the clan heads," Lu Yong bowed slightly, showing respect for the clan heads.

If he became a Seventh Order Transcendent, his status would surpass these clan heads and he would become the number one person in Base City.

"Lu Yong, you did a good job on this mission. The reward we promised remains the same. It's been some time now, Military Base should have been destroyed, right?" Wang family's clan head said with a smile.

His son died at the hands of Su Chen, and he was the one who wanted Military Base to be destroyed the most. The hatred of Qi family's clan head couldn't compare to his.

However, Wang family's clan head found it strange that Lu Yong's expression was a bit abnormal.

Since Lu Yong took the initiative to report on the eight-order Mutant Beast, Xiaozheng kindly did him a favor. After all, he didn't have much credit for this matter. If he could establish a relationship with Lu Yong, he would have a backer in the future.

Spy stood behind Lu Yong, saying nothing. None of the clan heads looked at him, everyone's gaze was fixed on Lu Yong, waiting for his answer.

Lu Yong knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to make a decision!

"Clan Head Wang, I have something important to report," Lu Yong suddenly said loudly.

"Speak."

"Among the people who followed me on this mission, there are two traitors!"

Lu Yong's words shocked everyone. They didn't expect Lu Yong to suddenly say such a thing.

"What do you mean?" Wang family's clan head squinted his eyes, emanating an aura of power.

Lu Yong knew that now was the most critical time, he had to push all the responsibility away!

"In this mission, only Zhou Ran, Xia Zhongjie, and I successfully stole the eight-order Mutant Beast egg. Only the three of us returned alive. When we were not far from Military Base, Zhou Ran suddenly asked for the egg. He put the egg near Military Base and attracted the eight-order Mutant Beast. We left first."

"At that time, I trusted him too much and never thought he would betray Base City. But after waiting for him for a long time, we found that Zhou Ran didn't come back. We had no choice but to report the mission and come back. Not long ago, we saw a scene that should never have happened..."

At this point, Lu Yong's expression appeared sad and angry, even with a hint of tears in his eyes. His acting skills were so good that even Spy, who knew the truth, was amazed.

Life is indeed a play, it's all about acting!

"What scene?" one of the clan heads couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yong took a deep breath and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The eight-order Mutant Beast didn't destroy Military Base. Instead, it came towards Base City."

"What?" All the clan heads were shocked. The eight-order Mutant Beast was their weapon to deal with Military Base, but instead of Military Base being destroyed, they would be in trouble? Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Why is the eight-order Mutant Beast coming this way? Wasn't the egg placed near Military Base?" one of the clan heads couldn't help but ask.

They couldn't figure it out. The eight-order Mutant Beast should have chased after the egg, so why was it coming towards Base City?

Lu Yong knew that the crucial moment had come.

He shouted loudly, "It must be Zhou Ran! He must be a traitor to Base City. He definitely didn't put the egg at Military Base. It's possible that Zhou Ran is even near Base City. Otherwise, the eight-order Mutant Beast wouldn't have come this way!"

Spy couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. His idea was good, but unfortunately, he had no idea that Zhou Ran was himself.

Lu Yong's guess was plausible, and the clan heads couldn't help but follow his line of thought.

"You make a good point. We must find Zhou Ran first..." The Qi family's clan head was interrupted by Lu Yong.

"Clan Head Qi, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Just catch one person, and we'll soon know Zhou Ran's whereabouts."

"Who?"

"Him!" Lu Yong pointed his finger at Spy, and Spy also cooperatively showed a shocked expression, as if he had never expected Lu Yong to point at him.

Now, the clan heads' expressions changed drastically. They immediately called out the hidden guards around them, wanting to subdue Spy.

Spy saw that the situation was almost there, so it was time for him to start acting.

In terms of acting, he could say that he was better than everyone present!

"Wait!" Spy shouted loudly, but the guards ignored him and continued towards him, wanting to subdue him.

"Don't you want to know the truth?" Spy's voice echoed in the hall.

"Stop." The Wang family's clan head waved his hand, and the guards obediently stood to the side, not daring to overstep.

The Wang family's clan head looked at Spy with deep eyes, a true old fox.

"Xia Zhongjie, what do you have to say? I'll only give you one chance."

As an old fox, he naturally wouldn't believe Lu Yong's words.

Spy had already considered this and spoke at this time.

Lu Yong remained calm on the surface, but in reality, he was a bit panicked. Xia Zhongjie was the only one who knew he was lying. After all, he wanted to use Xia Zhongjie to perfect his lies, but he had kicked Xia Zhongjie out of his side.

In this situation, how could Xia Zhongjie possibly speak up for him?

Spy looked at Lu Yong with a bitter and resentful expression, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, full of resentment. "Brother Yong, I call you Brother Yong, and this is how you treat me? You forced Zhou Ran into taking the egg to Military Base, and when he had no choice but to go, you refused to believe him and even accused him of being a traitor to Base City?"

Lu Yong's expression changed. He never forced Zhou Ran to do anything. Xia Zhongjie was slandering him!

Just as Lu Yong was about to speak, the Wang family's clan head calmly said, "Lu Yong, I haven't given you permission to speak yet. Don't force me to take action."

Lu Yong immediately shut his mouth. He knew that if he dared to disobey him, he would really be dealt with.

Even though he had reached the Sixth Order Peak, it was not an unstoppable force for a large clan. Their strength was so powerful.

Unless he became a Seventh Order Transcendent, he would always be considered weak in the eyes of a large clan.

"So you're saying that Zhou Ran was forced to go to Military Base?" one of the clan heads asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Clan Heads, Lu Yong is a Sixth Order Peak Transcendent, and we two, who are only in the mid-Sixth Order, wouldn't dare to resist. Please use your common sense to think about it. This is a matter of life and death. If Zhou Ran wasn't forced to do it, how could he have gone alone? We all agreed to go together."

The clan heads nodded in agreement. Even if it were themselves, they would think the same. No one was a fool. How could they sacrifice themselves for the sake of others?
