"City Lord, then this means the ascension of the Python King is a foregone conclusion, doesn't it?" The deputy general had a wicked smile, as if he was already envisioning the day his fortunes would soar.
"What else? If victory wasn't assured, would I be so eager to choose sides?" Huang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, then added, "In any case, keep tight watch. No one is allowed to enter or exit for the next week."
"Even if the king of heaven comes, the gates mustn't be opened, understand?"
"Yes, yes, I promise to handle it properly," the deputy general nodded repeatedly, agreeing readily.
"Hmm, once the Python King ascends, I'll be a hero. I might leave this marginal place, and perhaps the position of City Lord... work hard." Huang Cheng smiled with deep implication.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general immediately seemed invigorated.
Filled with renewed energy and spirit, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude and loyalty to Huang Cheng.
