Chapter 38: The Owner Has Changed, the Dish Remains

This was David’s doing.

Most of the comments below the post were made by paid commenters he had hired.

Medusa furrowed her brows as she scrolled through the replies. Her expression gradually became unreadable.

She never expected the master to stoop to something like this.

She had thought he was the type who would remain unshaken even if the sky fell, someone who cared about no one and stood tall like a true hero.

Who would’ve thought that just one Lucas could drive him to such low and despicable tactics?

She had really misjudged him before.

Closing the webpage, she opened a chat app that had never been seen on the market. Inside it was only one contact.

The contact’s avatar was a black silhouette of a girl with twin ponytails, looking both cute and eerie.

“Was that video of Lucas bullying someone online your doing?”

“Yup. Master’s orders.”

“You’re not even surprised? Don’t tell me this isn’t the first time he’s had you do something like this.”

“No, no, no. This was the first.”

So the master really had changed.

Medusa didn’t respond for a while, so the other party sent another message: “You’d better watch out. Master had a meeting yesterday and didn’t notify you. You know what that means, don’t you?”

Of course she knew. It meant that the master no longer trusted her.

And once someone lost the master’s trust, it meant death was near.

But Medusa wasn’t afraid at all.

She already knew how her story ended. She was destined to die for nothing.

Her tragic death would even serve as a stepping stone for her rival to rise.

Since she was going to die anyway, she would rather resist, live, and die by her own will. As for the master, she no longer cared.

Not if he wasn’t the hero she believed in.

Not if he wasn’t worthy.

“Oh right.”

The screen suddenly lit up with cute text and emojis.

“I’ll be heading to Su City soon to meet up with you. When I get there, I want to see with my own eyes who this Lucas is, the one who changed both you and the master.”

The next morning, David summoned his subordinates as soon as he woke up. The first thing he asked was, “How did that video of Lucas perform?”

Henry Steele hesitated for a second.

There were so many major issues at hand. The four major families were growing restless, and some had even begun mobilizing military forces.

The assassin organization had lost Medusa, one of its core members. They had suffered two failed missions recently, and three key assets were dead. It was a huge loss.

And yet the master asked about Lucas first?

The master had changed.

But Henry didn’t let it show. He answered calmly, “The video did very well. It has six hundred thousand views and over three thousand comments.”

Keep in mind, this was a local forum. Every user ID had to be verified with a real identity in the city.

Six hundred thousand views meant six hundred thousand locals had watched it.

The result was outstanding.

David smiled in satisfaction and asked his second question, “Last time I told you to find a way to suppress the Grey family’s businesses. How is that coming along?”

Henry pressed his lips together. A flicker passed through his eyes.

Still, he replied evenly, “We’ve already formed alliances with eight of the Grey family’s competitors. We can launch an attack at any time.”

David was very pleased.

With two consecutive blows dealt to Lucas and the Grey family, he finally felt a bit of his anger subside.

“What about the Davis family?”

Henry let out a quiet breath of relief. The master was finally getting back to real matters. “Old Master Davis has agreed. The other two branches of the Davis family are also willing to follow your lead.”
