"Count Lu is a wise, astute, and strategic man," Elder Yan said suddenly. "But he has a reputation for being very cautious, sometimes bordering on paranoid."
Xiaotian frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"Have you heard of the Three Captains of Lu?" Elder Yan asked.
Xiaotian shook his head, he had no idea.
"The Three Captains of Lu are very high-ranking individuals in the service of the Count. It is said that they are his three arms, and when Count Lu makes a move, it is because those three have already cleared the way for him," he said.
"He is a careful man," Xiaotian said thoughtfully.
"He is." Elder Yan nodded. "The first arm is known as Lin Tang."
Xiaotian blinked a couple of times... that name. He recognized it.
"The Hammer Man?" he asked.
"Yes, the Hammer Man from Oak City. Even though he looks so rough, he's one of the most bloodthirsty men in these lands. It's deadly to mess with him."
"Really?" Xiaotian was shocked.
