My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 189 - 187 With a wave of my hand, I can overturn clouds; with the cover of my hand, I can turn rain.

Lu Wu had always been wondering why Jiang Yuexing wanted to take him as her adopted son, as her rich woman.

Could it be because he was handsome?

Okay, Lu Wu didn’t deny that; he indeed looked good.

Before his transmigration, he could have relied solely on his looks for a living, undoubtedly eating better than those who coded words greedily from dawn, whose hairlines were receding, and yet were criticized by readers as hack writers with short and lame works.

But Lu Wu felt that Jiang Yuexing, as a Governor, shouldn’t be such a superficial person.

Therefore, he believed that Jiang Yuexing definitely had a deeper meaning.

Initially, Lu Wu thought it was about arranging for Jiangnan University, given that she issued related tasks as soon as she arrived.

Coupled with his talent, it was easy to assume that was Jiang Yuexing’s goal.

But when Lu Wu got the Token and arrived at the Sea Suppression Tower, he realized that this adoptive mother seemed eager to use him right away.

Or rather, perhaps from the moment he got the Token, Jiang Yuexing had already begun to treat him as a pawn.

Lu Wu had noticed this when he first entered the logistics department and saw the interaction between the receptionist who started provoking him and Jiang Tianyang.

Even though both of them concealed it well, Lu Wu could still see that something fishy was going on between the two; they seemed to be at odds but were actually exchanging complicit glances.

Subsequently, Lu Wu found a treasure in the garbage heap at the storehouse.

This part seemed plain and normal, just typical opportunistic scavenging, but upon reflection after the fact, Lu Wu realized that this so-called scavenging was deliberately arranged.

The receptionist, from the moment he entered, was subtly drawing Lu Wu’s attention towards that area through unconscious gestures.

When Lu Wu actually discovered the garbage heap, the receptionist even gave him a nudge, aiming to make sure he found the treasure.

After Lu Wu discovered the treasure, the receptionist’s subsequent actions more directly exposed the ruse—without even checking, he claimed the Plant Essence was worth over five thousand.

And moreover, in less than ten minutes, he delivered the Plant Essence and prepared the container, which was clearly premeditated.

If there wasn’t a scheme behind it, Lu Wu absolutely wouldn’t believe it.

It was obvious that these fellows had always intended to make Lu Wu summon here at the Sea Suppression Tower.

At first, Lu Wu wasn’t entirely clear about the situation, but when Jin Lailai appeared and shamelessly stole his Summoned Beast, Lu Wu’s tangled thoughts suddenly unraveled like a ball of yarn.

Jiang Yuexing took him as her adopted son and gave him the Token for this very moment.

Having won the high school league championship, he had become the most famous and highest traffic draw in the entire Jiangnan region.

Additionally, he had the backing of people like Zhang Wentao from Jiangnan University.

Now, he was a rather nice pawn, a piece that could lever obstacles she previously struggled with, or had yet to find the right opportunity to move.

And Jin Lailai was clearly the one who was about to be levered away.

It was from that moment on that Lu Wu knew what role he ought to play; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Little Skeleton directly attack with Thunder Strike, since his usual self wasn’t so arrogant.

Nor would he have possibly acted so boastfully!

Why did he act boastfully? Just felt like showing off?

Eh, well, there was a bit of that, but the main thing was that Lu Wu was very aware that he had been labeled with Jiang Yuexing’s approval and had become her person, her pawn.

Since that was the case, Lu Wu naturally had to become what she wanted.

If he didn’t put on a show, how would he deal with it if Jiang Yuexing’s dog and ball of fur refused to cooperate with him later, knowing that he and the Sea Suppression Tower were implacable because of her?

As for the enmity of the Sea Suppression Tower?

Lu Wu felt that even if he didn’t boast, they wouldn’t like him, since he was already Jiang Yuexing’s man.

It could be said that Lu Wu standing there had basically grasped everything.

The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was the overbearing nature of his rich woman.

He had just finished saying Jin Lailai should die, and Jin Lailai’s limbs exploded one by one right in front of him.

This brutal and vicious scene gave Lu Wu a fright, and he quickly turned around to cover Dudu’s eyes, glaring at the domineering queen who had descended upon them.

You kill, just kill, why must you be so vicious.

What if you scare my Dudu?

At that moment, the queen wasn’t paying any attention to Lu Wu.

She hovered in midair, her gaze cold as she looked down upon the people at the Sea Suppression Tower.

The faces of those from the Sea Suppression Tower were equally ashen.

Everyone could see that Jiang Yuexing today was completely different from usual.

Her unexpected show of dominance and, even more shockingly, the power she was displaying now, was terrifyingly unexpected.

The sudden burst of power and her assertive demeanor made everyone present have an ominous premonition.

Especially Jin Lailai’s brother, the Sea Suppression Tower’s Tower Master Jin Lihai, whose expression was so dark it was as if water could drip from it.

But he still was not the one to speak first; instead, another big shot responsible for discipline became his spokesperson.

"Governor Jiang, what is the meaning of this?

Minister Jin is the logistics minister of the Sea Suppression Tower after all. Even if he offended your son, there’s no need for such deadly measures..."

"Did I permit you to speak?"

The big shot was interrupted by Jiang Yuexing before he could finish.

Startled, he hadn’t recovered when Jiang Yuexing coldly threw out a sentence: "Kneel!"

As soon as the command fell, a terrifying aura burst forth, directly targeting that big shot.

Jin Lihai couldn’t sit idly by at this time; he stepped forward to attempt to withstand the aura, only to be swept away, while the big shot was pressed to his knees by Jiang Yuexing’s power.

At this moment, the brains of everyone from the Sea Suppression Tower were buzzing.

This was the first time they realized that Jiang Yuexing’s power was so formidable.

Even Jin Lihai was no match for her.

Those whose minds worked even faster vaguely realized that today’s events were no simple matter.

And Lu Wu, as the one with the sharpest mind, after glaring at Jiang Yuexing, kicked away the limbless Jin Lailai, then took out Little Skeleton’s mobile phone, beginning his performance.

After all, there were some things Jiang Yuexing couldn’t conveniently do or say; it had to be left to her son to speak.

"Governor, you must seek justice for me, no, for Lord Jin!

There are villains inside the Sea Suppression Tower!

Our team 042 finally beat team 044 to become the high school league champions, and to encourage us, you awarded us the Sea Suppressing Order, permitting us to collect a few Summoning Beasts from the Sea Suppression Tower.

It was said to be the Sea Suppression Tower’s reward to us."

This was to legalize the Token.

"But once we arrived, all we saw were Bronze and Black Iron Quality Summoning Beast Babies, not a single Silver one.

We initially thought the Sea Suppression Tower was going through hard times and felt uncomfortable in our hearts.

We even thought about letting it go, not to add to their burden, but the logistics department of the Sea Suppression Tower insisted on inviting us, saying their storage rubbish pile might still have some Summoning Stones and Summoning Beast Eggs for us to dig through.

When I heard this, I was even more touched, the rubbish pile, they even let us sift through the storage rubbish pile, how magnanimous the logistics department of the Sea Suppression Tower must be."

At that time, we went there with a pilgrim’s heart, and guess what? We actually found treasure in a pile of trash.

We scored two Summoned Beasts, yes, these two."

Lu Wu said, and even pointed to the bewildered Hellish Evil Dog and the Green Cub that kept leaning against him and repeatedly calling out "Ma Shada."

"This one’s Golden Quality, this one’s King-level.

I could have never imagined actually finding Summoning Beast Babies like these in the waste pile of the Sea Suppression Tower’s logistics department.

What surprised me even more was that these two Summoning Beast Babies actually belonged to Minister Jin Lailai who had been left in the storeroom!

When I heard this news, I was shaking with rage!

What has the world come to, what has happened to the logistics department of the Sea Suppression Tower?

They actually let a hardworking minister lose such important babies in the storeroom and then swept them into the trash heap.

And Minister Jin himself, he was so angry he quite literally exploded."

Everyone present was stunned.

God, he exploded his limbs from anger.

What do you think he is, a pufferfish? Explodes when angry and, besides, do you have any idea how he exploded?

Even Jiang Yuexing frowned and landed in front of Lu Wu, patting his head.

"Speak properly!"

Then his gaze fell on Lu Wu’s blood-soaked hand and his brow furrowed.

"What happened to your hand?"

"I just told them I had recorded everything on my phone, and then, I don’t know how, it exploded and hurt me, but it’s nothing serious, not very severe."

Lu Wu couldn’t help but curl his lips when he saw that Jiang Yuexing finally noticed the wound on his hand. Enduring the pain and not letting Green Cub, who was eager to please, heal him was indeed the right move.

’Better look pitiful. Even a stingy rich woman has got to give me some benefits later, right?’

However, Lu Wu was just trying to play the sympathy card when suddenly, the expression on Jiang Yuexing’s face in front of him darkened, and he turned to Jin Lihai.

Immediately thereafter, Lu Wu distinctly sensed an aura of confrontation, and Jin Lihai’s complexion changed again; he suffered an explosive injury to his hand.

Though it wasn’t completely severed, the ghastly sight was much worse than that of Lu Wu.

Jiang Yuexing declared assertively, "No one can lay a finger on my son, Lu Wuyi. No one but me, nobody else can!"

Seeing this scene and hearing those words, Lu Wu couldn’t help but wistfully imagine the possibilities.

A rich woman indeed is a rich woman, powerful and a good actor, seizing the chance to cripple her opponent.

Yep, in Lu Wu’s view, the rich woman was simply taking the chance for revenge. As for what the rich woman said, Lu Wu wouldn’t believe a single punctuation mark.

After what had happened today, how could he not be clear that his family’s rich woman was quite cunning?

You listen to her words, but if you take them seriously, you might get sold by her.

"Godmother is amazing, I love her.

By the way, this is Little Skeleton’s phone. I told them I filmed with my phone, and they thought I used mine, but actually, I used Little Skeleton’s.

I’ve sent you all the videos since I got to Sea Suppression Tower."

As soon as Lu Wu said this, Jin Lihai’s already dark face grew even darker.

And those big shots from Sea Suppression Tower who were present subtly started distancing themselves from Jin Lihai and his faction.

Anyone who had managed to get this far wasn’t a fool.

Everyone could see that today’s issue had been orchestrated by Jiang Yuexing, the Governor who had held her position for five years without much action, unassuming and modest.

Her motive was simple: to topple the Jin Lihai faction and take full control of Sea Suppression Tower, which was rightfully hers.

Lying low for five years, striking with one blow.

Not only was it swift, precise, and ruthless, but it also unveiled Jiang Yuexing’s formidable strength.

Adding up the facts with Lu Wu’s earlier show of intelligence, everyone knew that Jin Lihai’s faction was either going to be dead or critically wounded after this.

At the very least, Jin Lihai’s faction would definitely lose control of the logistics department, and Jin Lihai’s position as Tower Master could be unstable too.

Sure enough, after Jiang Yuexing watched the videos sent over by Lu Wu, she casually tossed the dying Jin Lailai at the feet of the discipline supervisor, a big shot who was still kneeling on the ground.

And she threw the phone as well.

"The person and the relevant evidence are in front of you; now tell me, what should be done with him?"

The big shot didn’t dare to say anything, and didn’t even dare to pick up the phone.

"What? Can’t decide? If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t hold your position either."

Jiang Yuexing wasn’t surprised, and calmly uttered two names.

"Wang Lihai, Xu Qingli."

"Present!" "Present!"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Two men stood up from among the leaders.

"From today on, Wang Lihai will take over the logistics department, and Xu Qingli will take over the discipline division. Those of you present, who agrees and who disagrees?"

Who would dare to speak now?

Isn’t it obvious? They had already arranged everything, so what was the use of speaking up?

Didn’t you see that even Tower Master Jin Lihai, whose younger brother had just had his limbs blasted off and whose own hand was nearly crippled, didn’t dare to utter a word? Who would dare to make a peep?

"Very well, since no one opposes, then let it be so!

You two, immediately take over your departments. Also, thoroughly investigate Jin Lailai; I want to know how much he has lost in the storeroom during his tenure and how many items are missing from it."

"Yes!" "Yes!"

The two big shots who had clearly sided with Jiang Yuexing early on got up to get to work.

And those who were there to watch the drama also dispersed on their own, with Jin Lihai himself leaving with a shuffling gait. From beginning to end, he did not dare to look back at Jin Lailai, who lay on the ground, pallid, having lost all his earlier arrogance and bluster.

Everyone knew that from that day on, Sea Suppression Tower was going to change, even the entire Jiangnan would change.

Some people couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

Reflecting on the five years since Jiang Yuexing’s sudden arrival in Jiangnan.

Five years of lying low, keeping quiet.

Sitting honestly in the Governor’s seat as nothing more than a figurehead.

Everyone thought she was just a puppet, and even some maliciously speculated how she got the position of the Governor.

Perhaps it was her charming husband of unknown origin, her alluring appearance.

It wasn’t until today that they realized that this seemingly harmless figurehead was in fact a powerful, deep-thinking big fish capable of upsetting the heavens and the earth!

This chapter is four thousand words, can it count as two-in-one?

If so, I’ll consider the debt for the previous chapter repaid.
