Chapter 225: Collect Interest First

Lu Yu took it all in and said indifferently, “You think this is enough to bluff me?”

The man in the business suit said with a scornful sneer, “I do not know who you are. In short, if you want to leave this place and don’t want to have any unpleasant memories, be sensible and hand over that which should be handed over.”

He could not allow Lu Yu to take away this pinhole camera. If this incident were exposed on the web, the reputation that Southern Seas Hotel had built up over the last few decades would be severely damaged.

“So you want to force my hand?” A touch of anger flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes, and his Purple Eye was activated secretly at this point.

Just when the atmosphere became so tense that things were about to blow up, a figure from outside the hotel rushed in and shouted, “I want to see which one of you has the guts?”

The visitor was none other than the driver. At this moment, he was glaring at the man in the business suit with immense fury.

The man in the business suit turned his head and looked at the driver with a mocking smile. “Yet another helper. But in this Southern Seas Hotel, even if the gods come, this guest won’t be able to leave.”

“Oh? Looks like you guys are unrepentant.” The anger on the driver’s face grew more intense.

He was completely disappointed with this Southern Seas Hotel. As a hotel with the highest specification in the capital, it had always placed protecting the privacy of its guests as its top priority. Yet now, it had been revealed that they were secretly monitoring the guests. This put the driver in a very difficult position as he had crossed his heart and vouched for this hotel in front of Yao Xianming

A bright and shiny token was taken out.

At once, the looks of taunting, contempt, arrogance all disappeared from the face of the man in the business suit. The moment his eyes focused on the token, his eyes widened like saucers in complete disbelief.

He recognized this token. The owner of this token was the famous Yao Xianming, the highest commanding officer in charge of all the military troops in the capital and its surrounding areas. He was a War Demigod.

Even the four great families had to treat him with courtesy. The man in the business suit definitely could not afford to offend someone of such a stature.

“What? Didn’t you say that even if the gods came, your guest wouldn’t be able to leave?” The driver looked at the man in the business suit icily.

The man in the business suit hung his head and his face turned bright red. He didn’t know whether to proceed or back off, so he simply stood rooted to the same spot in a daze. The driver grabbed his collar and sent him flying across the floor with a punch. Two blood-stained teeth dropped out.

The man in the business suit stood up. A look of hostility flashed across his eyes, but he didn’t dare to retaliate.

“A dog should have the self-awareness of a dog, instead of baring its fangs at whoever it sees.” The driver gave a scornful laugh. Following that, he made a gesture of invitation and said, “Lord Lu, this way please.”

Lu Yu walked straight out. The driver ran after him, calling out behind him,

“Lord Lu.”

Lu Yu turned around and the driver said, “Commander Yao asked me to convey a message to you. Don’t stir up too big of a commotion. The other party is not someone you can provoke right now.”

“What is your name?”

“Sima Yu.”

When the driver said his name, Lu Yu shook his head and became so angry that he burst out laughing instead. “Hoho… Don’t tell me Commander Yao expects me to swallow this insult? So other people can climb all over me, but I’m not allowed to fight back? That it is only right that I should kneel on the ground?”

Sima Yu stood frozen in place. Looking at Lu Yu’s departing figure, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Following that, through the encrypted communication channel, he conveyed the news to Yao Xianming.

Everything seemed to be within Yao Xianming’s expectation so he wasn’t too surprised either. After a moment’s contemplation, he then spoke again, “Since he wants to make a scene, then let him go and make a scene. You stay hidden, ready to assist him at any moment.”

After ending the phone call, Sima Yu’s mind seemed to explode, making him wonder whether he had heard wrong.

Commander Yao was actually in favor of Lu Yu stirring up trouble for the Ying family. As was well known, they were one of the four great families. The capital was the Ying family’s stronghold. Wasn’t he afraid that Lu Yu would make a big mess of things and it wouldn’t end well?

At this moment, inside the Southern Seas Hotel,

the man in the business suit wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face becoming more and more sinister. After a long while, his apoplectic expression finally returned to normal. Only then did he make a phone call and reported the situation. “Manager Hu, the person did not stay.”

“Then why are you still standing there? Go after him. Do whatever it takes to make him disappear from this world completely. Anyone who tarnishes the reputation of the Southern Seas Hotel must not be allowed to live.” On the other end of the phone, a woman’s imperious voice rang out.

“But that person is likely to have connections with the capital’s commander.” The man in the business suit protested feebly. He was very reluctant to get involved in this mess.

He was used to being arrogant and tyrannical, but he was not a brainless person. On the contrary, he was very good at reading people’s body language. He knew that if he got involved and the matter blew up, he would definitely become a discarded pawn.

“In short, either he disappears from this world or you disappear from this world. I have made myself very clear.” The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then the woman’s imperious voice rang out again.

The man in the business suit trembled all over. Then he nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

In the north of the capital, at another hotel,

Lu Yu set up an illusionary realm here, hiding Giovanna’s room so that outsiders could not detect it. Unless the intruder was at the War General level, otherwise the room would not be discovered. And at the same time, once an intruder discovered the room, Lu Yu would sense the intrusion too.

Looking at the unconscious Giovanna, Lu Yu reached out and stroked the pretty cheeks, his eyes filled with dew-like tenderness. “My old companion, you have suffered.”

Everything remained unspoken. Lu Yu tended to Giovanna’s injured body silently.

The sun set and a full moon rose shortly after. One after another, stars emerged. They decorated the night sky like a galaxy river in glorious magnificence.

In the dark of the night, Lu Yu abruptly got up and left the room. The moment the door shut, he turned into a brutal, ferocious wild beast that bared its hidden fangs.

“Ying family, I’ll collect a little interest on this debt first. As for the rest, we’ll settle it slowly later!”

The moment his figure disappeared into the night, the Illusionary Realm Kingdom was activated. A layer of illusionary realm slowly rolled over and the ground beneath his feet swiftly swept past.

In this vast expanse of land, there existed a number of auras that frightened him. Lu Yu avoided them and stopped the Illusionary Realm Kingdom from covering these spots. Thereafter, he sped towards the Capital City University.

Capital City University was the highest academic institution in Flame Country. It ranked at the top of the top 10 martial arts universities. Every young cultivator in Flame Country viewed getting into this university, thereby receiving generous scholarships and gaining access to the best cultivation resources, as a proud achievement.

And this university was also set up by the seven War Demigods in a concerted effort after that Holy War. There were even rumors that hinted within the campus of Capital City University, there was a person who was half a step away from becoming a Saint guarding the place and that he was Flame Country’s hidden legacy.

Lu Yu glanced at the brightly-lit and prosperous university under the night sky. Then he headed for a sleazy nightspot. That was his goal this time.

The illusionary realm instantly covered the whole area. Everything happening in this sleazy nightspot did not escape his eyes.

Under the dim lights, scenes of debauchery and sleazy charm abounded in the midst of merry laughter. Several women dressed in revealing clothes and flamboyant makeup, combining seductive charm and tenderness, led the wealthy and noble men into hidden boudoirs..
