Chapter 104
Xiao Yu had heard of Muhua Lee. The man had participated in the war in his youth and had shown courage back then. However, after that he was injured and because his political opponents were forced to settle in the kingdom of Wei.
In the past, Muhua Lee was on very good terms with the previous ruler of the Wei kingdom, Wei Huan. The man liked the general. However, after Wei Huan's death Muhua Lee supported Wei Ao's failed eldest son. The new lord Wei Hao began removing Muhua Lee from power after he began ruling the Wei kingdom. Xiao Yu looked at Muhua Lee as his own person after he learned of this situation. He had an army but had no experienced generals.
Xiao Yu brought Tyrande, Grom, Leah and hundreds of human warriors to Hui city which was the capital of Wei kingdom. In fact, Xiao Yu was previously no stranger to Hui City. According to his memories, he was well aware of the situation inside Hui city. They set out in the morning and reached Hui city at night.
Patrols at the city gate knew the identity of the visitors when they saw the Xiao family banner. One of the patrols rushed to the carriage and started flattering: “Welcome Duke Xiao. It's been a long time! I've heard that you've been through a lucky situation. Look at your neat soldiers! We heard that you defeated Carrie's army! Some say that it is true and some say that it is false. We haven't seen you in a long time so we're worried about you.”
Xiao Yu smiled as he looked at the patrol: “Ya. A while ago Carrie came to look for trouble, but I handled it easily. As a result, I was quite busy.”.
“How can Carrie be your opponent? You are the Grand Duke. ” The soldier continued to flatter Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu took out a gold coin and threw it towards the soldiers: "Share it with your friend."
The soldiers bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yu's carriage entered Hui City. The Wei kingdom also suffered a setback because its army was too corrupt. The foundation of the Wei kingdom was good which was the reason why they were still able to stand. Moreover, they were established long before the Lion territory. Due to development over several generations, Wei switched to the kingdom.
In fact, Xiao Yu could also establish a kingdom if the development in his territory was to develop rapidly. As a duke, it was not a dream for him. However, he planned to kill all the bandits, merge other territories and then build the Lion kingdom.

Xiao Yu came to stay at a luxurious hotel. The hotel manager was familiar with Xiao Yu so he came to greet her. Moreover, he was blown away because he had never seen Xiao Yu come with so many guards.
There was faint news of the battle between Xiao Yu and Carrie. They had even heard of orcs being deployed in battle. However, there was nothing clear about the details of the battle.
Carrie's father had gone through a lot to hide the message of defeat. Outsiders knew that the Lion and Solomon's territory had been fighting but they did not know the specifics. Only a few people who care know the truth.
Xiao Yu threw away some gold coins as the servants began to be very polite to him. He did not enter the room but went with Grom and Leah to a nearby casino. Tyrande's face was covered in a mask but he was too conspicuous. He did not want to carry it with himself as he would easily cause trouble. Grom was enough as a bodyguard. Grom was able to contend with two or three second rank warriors as he wore a T1 set armor.
Xiao Yu casually entered the casino through the door. The beautiful woman near the door immediately came towards him to show hospitality.
"Oh! Duke Xiao has not been here for a long time!”
"Yes! I thought he had forgotten us!”
“We heard that you sold a lot of orc slaves and elves and made a lot of money! You can't be stingy this time!”
…
…
Leah who saw Xiao Yu surrounded by people like this wanted to slap their faces. Xiao Yu held one beauty to his right while the other to his left. He touched and kissed them. Nevertheless, he did not feel anything special towards them. He was just acting so that others wouldn't think he changed much. Xiao Yu gave the women a lot of gold coins and went inside with Grom and Leah. Most of the people inside the casino greeted Xiao Yu with a smile which was because he was a regular visitor of this casino in the past.
“We have heard that Duke Xiao made a lot of money recently. Can you sell us some orcs and elves that you have caught?” The casino manager spoke.
Xiao Yu laughed: “That's bullshit. I only raised a few Orcs as guards.”
The manager smiled: “Casino is lifeless without Duke Xiao. We are always looking forward to your visit.”
Xiao Yu laughed: “I'll help your business tonight. Are my friends here?”
"Sir Ji whether there is a bet ..." The manager pointed to the second floor.
Xiao Yu nodded as he went up to the second floor with Grom and Leah.
A man who was touching the chest of a woman jumped up and shouted when they reached the second floor: “Haha! Xiao Yu's! Where Have You Been? I heard that you had a fight with Carrie! I thought we were all friends.”
Xiao Yu knew Ji Xing from his past memories. He was another young master.
In the past, Xiao Yu, Ji Xing, and Carrie were part of the same group as they gambled, ate, and drank. However, Xiao Yu believed that only Carrie was capable in the group.
Carrie had joined them to play Xiao Yu from the very beginning.
In comparison, Ji Xing was a silly man who had no real abilities. All he knew was mistreating women and gambling.
Xiao Yu hugged Ji Xing: “I lost my sister-in-law last time. Carrie brought troops to arrest him but I refused. Do you think I'll give my beautiful sister-in-law to someone else? We have a battle. Carrie thought that we would lose, but she had no idea that my father had signed contracts with orcs and elves when she was young that they would help me if I faced hard times.”
Xiao Yu used the 'king of this era' argument only in certain circles. He doesn't talk about it everywhere. In fact, it was best that ordinary people spread legends about him. The power of word of mouth was much stronger than the official speech he made.
“I think it's bullshit that you have orcs and elves on your side! But it's true! Brother, will you lend some elves to your friend? I'm a friend..” Chief Ji Xing works only for debauchery.
Xiao Yu smiled: “I came here for another affair. You bet while I will tell you the purpose of my visit. ” Xiao Yu lowered his voice.
"Oh? What do you want to tell me?” Ji Xing asked as he looked at the mysterious expression on Xiao Yu's face.
Xiao Yu pulled Ji Xing aside and whispered into his ear: "Do you remember the last time we were beaten up by that child of the Muhua family?"
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows: "Are you not talking about Muhua Lee's son, Muhua Ling?"
Xiao Yu clenched his teeth: “Yes, there he is. Last time I couldn't get anyone to take care of her. But now, I have orc bodyguards so I am not afraid of them. We have to finish this time.”
Ji Xing nodded: “Last time I stayed in bed for half a month! We cannot do anything because he is the son of the general of the kingdom of Wei.”.
Xiao Yu smiled: “I've made plans. We'll get his father out of power and deal with him when he gets back from Knight's College. As long as we can get rid of this Muhua Lee, that child will have no support! After that, we can spend some money on the hit man to kill Muhua Ling!”
Ji Xing's eyes sparkled: “I have a long dream to avenge them! By the way, that guy's daughter just returned from the Witch School. He has grown up and this master will play with him then make him my pet!”
Xiao Yu laughed: "We have a deal!"
