Lu Yu returned home and settled in for a long wait.

His daily routine consisted of two main tasks: taming the White Spirit Dragon and waiting for Su Qing’s reply. Despite the slim hope, he couldn’t abandon the possibility. After all, what if she saw the letter?

He considered joining the hunting squad as a dragon hunter or even following the royal hunting team to the capital. However, for now, he was stuck waiting.

Taming the White Spirit Dragon, like taming the Frost Dragon Jiang Xun was attempting, proved challenging. In the courtyard, Lu Yu held the exquisite white ball, the dragon’s contract item, in his hands.

His communication with the White Spirit Dragon, relayed through the Nightmare Dragon, proved frustrating and largely ineffective.

It was arrogant, rarely responding to his attempts at conversation.

Often, Lu Yu was tempted to resort to the forceful methods he’d used with the Fire Spirit Dragon, subduing it through brute force.

However, he recognized the White Spirit Dragon’s superior intelligence and the potential for a risk of suicide.

Putting the contract item away, Lu Yu rose to leave the courtyard.

A carriage parked at the entrance caught his eye as he stepped outside.

More than ten figures emerged and hurried toward him. “You are Lu Yu?” the lead figure, a burly man, demanded.

“Yes, that’s me. What’s going on?” Lu Yu replied nonchalantly. “Come with us. Our boss wants to see you.”

Lu Yu sneered. “Who is your boss? Why should I see him?”

“Don’t be cocky, kid. Do you know who you’re dealing with? Our boss is Jiang Tianxing!”

Lu Yu shrugged. “Never heard of him. What does this have to do with me?” “Nonsense, it has everything to do with you. You killed Jiang Hao, didn’t you?”

Lu Yu acknowledged the accusation with a slight nod. “There was someone killed by me, yes. Why does your boss care? Is this Jiang Hao his son, perhaps?”

“Precisely. You should come with us and take responsibility. If you refuse to cooperate, things will get forceful, and you won’t like it.”

Despite the threat, Lu Yu remained unfazed and agreed to accompany them, entering the carriage.

The burly man laughed. “Good, you show some sense. Don’t make things harder for yourself.”

One of the lackeys interrupted impatiently, “Captain, why waste time talking?

Just grab him!”

Ignoring the comment, the burly man ordered, “Get this guy in the carriage. We’re leaving.”

Following the street, they soon reached a villa tucked away in the suburbs. The carriage stopped at the entrance, and the burly man led the way, demanding Lu Yu to come down quickly. “Get down, or I’ll beat you!”

Lu Yu followed, entering the villa through a brick path.

Soon, the burly man knocked on the villa’s entrance and awaited a response. An elderly man with white hair answered the door. “You brought him?”

“Yes, the journey was smooth. He cooperated.”

“Excellent. Bring him in. Master is impatient.”

The burly man gestured toward the elder. “This is the villa’s butler. Follow him to see our boss. Be polite; this is our territory!”

Ignoring the warning, Lu Yu walked straight inside. The villa’s interior was simple, with a man in a long black robe seated on the sofa.

The man looked at Lu Yu and said, “Have a seat.”

“Are you Jiang Tianxing? Why have you called me here?” Lu Yu asked directly.

“You took the life of my son. I can’t overlook that.” The man spoke with a grave expression.

“How do you propose we settle this?” Lu Yu remained calm.

“Logically, it would be a life for a life.”

The man picked up a fruit knife, wiping its blade idly.

“However, I’m willing to offer you a chance. Help me with a task, and I’ll let this slide.”

Lu Yu leaned back on the sofa, arms spread wide. “Why would I work for you?

What makes you think you have the authority to make such demands?”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. Killing my son in public was a reckless move. Consider this a generous offer, sparing your life. Your attitude suggests you’re unwilling to resolve this issue peacefully. Am I sensing that?”

Lu Yu smirked. “It’s simple to resolve this problem. Why don’t I kill all of you?

Problem solved, wouldn’t you say?”

Jiang Tianxing’s fists clenched, his jaw tightening as he glared at Lu Yu’s smile. “Your arrogance astounds me! Where does your confidence stem from?”

Jiang Tianxing huffed with a mix of anger and bewilderment in his voice.

Lu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. “Explaining my confidence wouldn’t be possible in a short conversation. Perhaps the City Lord could enlighten you. He’d be more than happy to explain the source of my… assurance.”

“I have no need for intermediaries. I can reach out to him directly through my landline. Since you claim to be a friend of the City Lord, let me ask you, do you truly believe your friendship grants you such audacity?”

He stood up abruptly and turned toward his study.

“You just wait. I’ll inform the City Lord. Once I deal with him, you’ll face the consequences!”

Jiang Tianxing hurried toward the study, convinced it was necessary to warn the City Lord beforehand and avoid any misunderstandings. Reaching his desk, he picked up the old-fashioned phone and dialed City Lord Zhao Tianlong’s number.

After a brief wait, the call connected, and Zhao Tianlong’s voice came through.

“Hello, is this City Lord Zhao? This is Jiang Tianxing.”

“Why are you calling at this hour?” Zhao Tianlong inquired, his voice laced with concern.

“I simply wanted to confirm, is Lu Yu an acquaintance of yours?”

On the other end of the line, Zhao Tianlong’s tone shifted noticeably, turning tense. “Yes, he is a friend. What’s wrong?”

“I see. He’s currently here with me. I intend to teach him a lesson for taking my son’s life, as you’re aware. However, for your sake, I’m willing to spare his life.. But a lesson is necessary, wouldn’t you agree? Otherwise, how can I maintain my reputation in Black Dragon City?”
