471: Let's sit down and talk.

Chapter 471: Everyone, Please Sit Down and Talk

One can imagine.

The White House was naturally heavily guarded.

When Lu Ran arrived at the entrance, the guards immediately became alert.

“Who are you?” the guard shouted.

Lu Ran checked the map repeatedly, confirming that the coordinates of the god’s descent were at the White House.

Only then did he look at the guards.

No wonder they could become White House guards.

Their Dragon Xia language was so fluent that Lu Ran couldn't tell if they were from Eagle Nation or Dragon Xia.

Of course.

Judging from their appearance, it was instantly clear.

“My name is Lu Ran,” Lu Ran said indifferently.

The countdown was still early.

As Lu Ran spoke, he hesitated whether to just demolish the White House directly.

Anyway, for Lu Ran, it was simple.

Just a casual undead attack, even Lu Ran's dao arts, could easily pick out a few to demolish the White House.

With the White House gone, Eagle Nation would become a scattered mess.

However, in the current Datafication World,

Even if the White House was gone, each main city could fight independently, so it wouldn't have much of an impact.

“Lu Ran? Dragon Xia's Undead Mage Lu Ran?” The guards were stunned, looking at Lu Ran in surprise.

Originally, Lu Ran thought they might question his identity.

After all,

For no reason, Dragon Xia's Undead Mage Lu Ran suddenly appeared at the White House entrance.

This was indeed a bit strange.

But unexpectedly,

The guards exchanged glances, then immediately recognized Lu Ran.

“It really is Lu Ran!”

“I won't mistake it, I watched the National War process!”

“Oh my god, it really is Lu Ran, quick, quick, report it!”

…

Hmm?

Lu Ran was rather surprised, raising an eyebrow.

But immediately, Lu Ran also reacted.

It was during the National War.

Lu Ran only learned after returning that during the National War, the free-view camera had always been locked onto him by various main cities.

His heroic figure had long been clearly seen by various countries.

Those people who didn't recognize Lu Ran when he first entered Eagle Nation.

Perhaps it wasn't that they didn't recognize him, but rather that they had only seen Lu Ran during the National War and hadn't remembered him.

After all,

Many times,

Lu Ran also couldn't remember people from Eagle Nation he had only met once.

Blond hair, big nose, just a few features.

But their faces, unless they had very distinctive features, wouldn't leave a deep impression on Lu Ran.

Lu Ran looked at these guards.

He curled his lips, intending to walk straight in.

If anyone blocked him, he would just act directly.

At worst, he'd demolish the White House; for Lu Ran, it was nothing, just a casual matter.

But at this moment,

The guards blocked Lu Ran again. Just as Lu Ran frowned, intending to act directly,

The leading guard suddenly said, “No matter who you are, today is a special day. The entire White House is under martial law, and no one is allowed to approach the White House. You'd better come another time.”

Huh?

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, dumbfounded.

He didn't know if these guards had a problem with their brains, or if Lu Ran's brain had a problem.

The grievances between Eagle Nation and Dragon Xia, while not irreconcilable, were definitely a 'you or me' situation.

Lu Ran had come alone.

And you're telling me to come another day?

Are you kidding me?

But Lu Ran suddenly looked at these guards.

His eyes narrowed slightly. According to these guards,

Today was a special day, the entire White House was under martial law, no one was allowed to approach, and Lu Ran wasn't allowed in.

Could this be interpreted as being related to the god who was about to appear?

The god's appearance wasn't accidental?

But rather orchestrated by the White House?

Then he had to go in and see!

Lu Ran also needed to figure out how these people made the god appear.

This was very important. If there really was a way to make a god appear, then Lu Ran's process of completing his quest and collecting godhead shards would be much simpler.

“Report that I've arrived,” Lu Ran said indifferently.

He didn't act directly anymore.

Killing everyone was too simple for Lu Ran.

But if everyone was dead, Lu Ran wouldn't be able to find out how they brought out the god.

Of course,

All of this was premised on Lu Ran's guess being correct.

The White House's martial law today was truly because of the impending god, not a coincidence.

“No, the higher-ups have instructed that we cannot let anyone through. No one can enter,” the guard refused directly.

Lu Ran nodded.

He said, “You know who I am, but you clearly don't understand my character. Three minutes, whether you report or not, after three minutes, I will go in myself. If anyone blocks me, I will kill them.”

These words were simple, spoken lightly.

But what he said made the guards' faces change drastically!

They finally realized, belatedly, that the person in front of them was Lu Ran!

He was the world's most terrifying number one professional, the number one Undead Mage Lu Ran!

The Lu Ran who dominated the equipment rankings, level rankings, and various Global rankings in the Endless Tower!

If Lu Ran wanted to go in,

Who could stop him?

Only three minutes!

Terrified, the guards didn't dare to hesitate and ran inside like crazy.

Lu Ran chuckled.

That's more like it.

Sometimes, being clean and decisive makes things easier for everyone.

Of course, Lu Ran didn't care.

Still the same thing: three minutes, whether you report or not, I don't care. When three minutes are up, I'll go in.

If anyone blocks me, I'll kill them!

It's that simple.

After just over a minute,

The guard rushed back.

Before reaching the entrance, he shouted, fearing the three-minute deadline, “Please let Lu Ran in! Quickly, invite him in!”

Lu Ran heard him, chuckled, and stepped inside.

The guard also ran up to him at this point and said to Lu Ran, “Please follow me, I'll take you to the conference room. The higher-ups are waiting for you.”

With that, he led the way.

At the same time, he occasionally turned to look at Lu Ran, his face full of fear.

After all,

Globally, there was almost no one who could face Lu Ran without changing their expression.

Before long,

Lu Ran arrived at the conference room.

Indeed, the Big Leader was there.

The highest leader was the blond man, sitting in the main seat, with several other leaders separated to his left and right.

There were also some people from other guilds.

Lu Ran didn't know these people, but he roughly guessed they were high-ranking members or leaders of major guilds.

Somewhat similar to Liu Xinxin and her group.

However, these so-called leaders, regardless of their level or personal ability, were definitely far inferior to Liu Xinxin and the others.

After all,

Many of Eagle Nation's first-tier professionals had been killed by Lu Ran.

It was already very difficult to gather some relatively powerful professionals to be guild leaders.

Seeing Lu Ran enter, everyone instantly stood up.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was tense, and there was a dead silence.

Lu Ran calmly surveyed the room, then sat down at the seat near the door, facing the Big Leader across the room.

Only then did he say, “Everyone, please sit down and talk.”

As if given permission, everyone exchanged glances before sitting down one after another.
