Wilbur lowered his head and pondered for a moment, feeling that Edmund''s n was feasible. He then asked, "I have onest question. If the Dragon yer Organization headquarters learns of this, aren''t you afraid they''lle after you?" "The Dragon yer Organization has powerful forces in all nine major towns. If they join forces to attack together, I''m afraid we won''t be able to handle it."


    Edmund chuckled and said, "Mister Penn, you can rest assured about this. Each town has its own rules. Buck Town is a city of ughter, and I, Edmund, am the lord here. If any cultivators intrude into my mansion without permission, I have the authority to order their execution. In this matter, I have done nothing wrong. If the Dragon yer Organization dares to take sudden action against me, the treaty between the nine City Lords will automatically kick into action. The other eight City Lords wille to my aid and deal with the Dragon yer Organization."


    Edmund pped the table and said, "This time, I want to see whether the nine major towns are truly governed by the City Lords or by the Dragon yer Organization. Who is the true king of the towns?"


    Wilbur looked at Edmund and thought to himself, ''This person is indeed very cunning, considering matters to such an extent. However, the Dragon yer Organization is also not to be underestimated. In that case, it would be better to kill Hanson and the Patron Sivan to curb the Dragon yer Organization''s arrogance.''


    The two talked until dawn, and Hanson did not return with his men. Edmund breathed a sigh of relief and arranged a room for Wilbur in the inner courtyard. Then, he went back to his room to cultivate.


    Meanwhile, in the Dragon yer Organization''s branch in Buck Town, Hanson sat on his throne, deep in thought and silent. Dennis couldn''t stand it any longer and stepped forward, bowing as he said, "Lord Hanson, since we want to capture Edmund, we shouldn''t dy. Let''s quickly send people to the City Lord''s residence. We only need to kill Edmund, and the higher-ups will surely reward you. Lord Hanson, now that Edmund is seriously injured, if we dy any longer, he will recover more strength with each passing day, making it even harder to kill him in the future."


    Hanson answered, "I know. I have already given the order. Tonight, I will take our men to the City Lord''s residence and kill Edmund. However, there is one more thing I am unsure of how to handle."


    "What is it?"


    "Sivan. I''m considering whether to bring him along tonight."


    "Does it make any difference?"


    "Sivan is a cunning person. If we don''t bring him along tonight, even if we kill Edmund, he might return to headquarters and im that he directed us to kill Edmund, stealing our credit."


    "Yes," Dennis said. "Sivan is indeed a two-faced person. He once helped six people find six dragon cultivators. Each time, those six killed the dragon cultivators, but Sivan returned to headquarters and imed the credit, saying he found the dragon cultivators and ordered their killing."


    "Alright, I''ve decided. We''ll bring Sivan tonight. If he asks why, we''ll tell him that he is also a member of the Dragon yer Organization. To be fair, we are taking him along to find the dragon cultivators. If he can kill the dragon cultivators, then the credit will go to him. Otherwise, the credit will be ours, and we won''t have to worry about him stealing our credit."


    Dennis was delighted and cupped his hands, saying, "Lord Hanson, that''s a brilliant n."


    Hanson was the head of the Buck Town branch of the Dragon yer Organization. It was only natural that he had his own way of doing things. Many intrigues had been crushed by Hanson in the past, and Hanson had his methods for dealing with two-faced people.
