Let them offer their loyalty!

If Yan Chen had made this promise to Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu would have mostly taken it as a joke.

After all, when it comes to what Yan Chen says, nobody knows how much is true and how much is false.

If it were Tang Feifei who had made the promise to Qiu Tu, he would also keep it in mind, planning to use it if an opportunity arose, or disregard it if it didn't.

After all, though Tang Feifei is someone who keeps her promises, she also carries the pride of a major family's direct lineage: she would remember your favor, and if you sought her help, she would lend a hand.

But if you didn't seek her out, she wouldn't regard you any differently because of the favor.

After all... there were too many people willing to help her on a regular basis.

But... this promise was made to Qiu Tu by Liu Xiongyuan!

In this period of time, through interactions with Liu Xiongyuan and various pieces of intelligence, Qiu Tu had come to understand Liu Xiongyuan's character traits.

He was someone who would avenge wrongs as surely as he would repay kindness!

Moreover, perhaps because he came from the lower strata, he had plotted meticulously and endured untold hardships to ascend every step of the way!

Liu Xiongyuan had a standard measure for treating everyone.

When you truly helped him out, he would always remember the favor and take the initiative to repay it.

And because of this trait, he naturally classified the people around him into "different ranks."

This wasn't a derogatory remark, but a commendatory one. He could clearly discern who was one of his own, who was just an acquaintance, and who was an enemy.

Once he considered you one of his own, he would even help you without expecting anything in return.

This sense of "Jianghu loyalty" could only be found in someone who came from humble beginnings!

Like the last time when Qiu Tu helped Liu Xiongyuan avenge his son, Qiu Tu had an issue, and Liu Xiongyuan rushed over to Xinjie City without hesitation.

He even took the initiative to introduce Qiu Tu to Elder Wang.

And to here, he didn't even mention repaying a favor; all this was just part and parcel of his actions.

The situation was the same this time. Now that Liu Xiongyuan had acknowledged this huge favor, once he truly became the Deputy Speaker,

Qiu Tu would have a genuine insider at the upper echelons of the Dongye State Council!

No matter what issues arose in the future, Liu Xiongyuan would stand up for Qiu Tu, and if there were benefits, Liu Xiongyuan would also actively fight for them on Qiu Tu's behalf!

And this... was precisely the result Qiu Tu was aiming for with all his plotting!

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu was not shy. He laughed and said, "Then, I must thank Director Liu for his generous affection in advance."

"I await the good news from you!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan "Ah"ed in response and said, "Stop calling me Bureau Chief all the time. Just call me Uncle Liu."

A change in address, but it signified that Liu Xiongyuan truly regarded Qiu Tu as one of his own this time.

Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't refuse and naturally called out, "Uncle Liu."@@novelbin@@

Liu Xiongyuan laughed heartily, his pale eyebrows trembling along with his smile.

It added a touch of liveliness and warmth to this small old man, who was as powerful and majestic as a thunder god.

After laughing, he said, "Alright. I won't chat anymore with you now. I'm going to get started on this matter right away."

"Larilo's divine body was slain by us, crystallizing into a divine body and transforming into the highest grade of Cataclysmic Material, the 'Boundless Divine Crystal.'

"I'll save two pieces for you, and will have someone deliver them to you in the next couple of days."

"This highest grade of Cataclysmic Material is useful whether for refining the Cataclysmic Potion, crafting Cataclysmic treasures, or enhancing strength."

"Keep them safe."

Having arranged all this, Liu Xiongyuan didn't linger and directly hung up the phone. He knew that it was best to act sooner rather than later, as a minute's delay could mean a minute's worth of unforeseen changes.

Qiu Tu, however, didn't mind. He had helped Liu Xiongyuan twice.

The first time, Liu Xiongyuan had accepted him, but because of their limited interaction and Qiu Tu's own agendas,

Liu Xiongyuan did not consider him one of his own but as a benefactor, and extended some support and assistance.

But this time, since everything was initiated for the sake of Liu Xiongyuan, and Qiu Tu exhibited his capabilities through a tight sequence of strategic maneuvers,

Liu Xiongyuan fully acknowledged Qiu Tu, not only treating him as one of his own but also as a junior to be nurtured.

With such a transformation, the better Liu Xiongyuan developed, the greater the benefits for Qiu Tu.

Therefore, Qiu Tu wished nothing more than for Liu Xiongyuan to immediately negotiate terms with Ye Mingfeng and Wang Hu; to be promoted to Pseudo Fourth Order immediately; to become the Deputy Speaker at once.

Your own efforts count for little; letting your "boss" work hard to take you soaring is the true path to success!

With these thoughts, Qiu Tu, who had executed all his plans perfectly today, hummed a tune happily, put away his special communicator, and prepared to sleep.

But just as he put away the communicator, Qiu Tu looked up and saw Tang Feifei's aggressive gaze.

She was naked, her hands propped on either side of Qiu Tu's body, watching him with those predatory eyes, full of wildness.

Her healthy, wheat-colored face was filled with danger and desire.

Qiu Tu was startled and scooted back like a little lamb, "Director, please compose yourself!"

Tang Feifei, upon hearing this, pounced on him even more ferociously!

With a forward leap, she pinned Qiu Tu to the bed and pressed his head onto her ample and resilient twin peaks!

She then applied a cross-lock, a technique from grappling, constricting Qiu Tu's neck, and said with a mix of threat and coquettishness, "Is that old guy Liu Xiongyuan more interesting than me?"

"You plan so diligently for him but not for me?"

Her voice was exceptionally icy, "The Evil God didn't let me fight, the Deputy Speaker didn't let me become one. Just left me to do the hard labor."
