Numerous Practitioners swarmed towards the mansion in less than two minutes after Lu Shu had left.
Actually, he had taken advantage of them. The previous time, even Nie Ting himself did not visit the Collection of Gods Mansion, because everyone knew that it was merely a meaningless shell.
Even so, a Class C had been stationed in their security forces. This was extremely rare, at a time when there were fewer than ten Class A’s and Class B’s could also be considered as the cream of Practitioners. After all, how many Class C’s would be content with the job of a security guard?
In any case, they could not possibly hire a Class B for this position. Besides, it was almost impossible that any Class B’s would make trouble there, even knowing that there was nothing to gain.
All important information was safely kept in Class B superiors’ houses. So which Class B would be so free and bored to target the mansion?
However, Lu Shu was. And the key thing was, he had a lot to gain from it, distress points, which remained a secret to the rest of the world.
Those people were already seething with rage at the sight of the corpses. Their men were slain right in front of their headquarter. How shameful!
Silently a Class B superior stood in front of the entrance. His face was expressionless despite the fury inside.
“From Takashima Tairatsu’s distress, +499!”
“From…”
“From…”
A man reported, “Sir, there is no trace left by the enemy. Our earth-type Metahumans have chased from underground, but they have yet to notice any signs of his escape through earth.”
“11 Class D’s and one Class C were killed bare-handedly in such a short period of time.” Takashima sighed in grief. “And he did not even use his flying dagger. No doubt, it’s him, the ninth Heavenly King. He is probably furious about the Daoyuan student’s being wanted.”
The revenge from the Heavenly Network was within their expectation, but not its efficiency. Just two days ago, the news had come from the Darkness Kingdom regarding the verification of Lu Shu’s death and the claiming of deep sea white sand by a killer code-named You.
“Our situation is not very hopeful. Earth-type Metahumans have always been an effective assassination tool via infiltration. And now, the Heavenly Network has actually produced a Class B of them.”
Back in the early ages after Spirit Qi regeneration, the potential and capabilities of earth-type had been underrated. It was not until Anthony, who traversed thousands of miles just to kill Chen Baili, did the world finally see their incredible strengths in infiltration.
As compared to the unparalleled mobility of the earth-type, the fire-type were the most competent direct attackers.
“Close all exits of the city and investigate every suspect one by one. He can’t possibly hide underground all the time,” Takashima commanded.
At this moment, someone asked, “Look! What’s that on the glass door?”
Earlier, their attention was drawn to the bodies, which caused them to ignore the door. Upon inspection, they saw a giant circle in red with an English word “remove” written inside.
“What does it mean?”
“Building removal…”
“What?”
“That word, means this building is to be removed…”
A person with general knowledge of China quickly made an explanation, that it was a symbol for house-dismantling in China. Buildings painted with that were to be pulled down in a certain period of time. Thus, the Heavenly Network must be behind it…
Everyone was shocked. Who the heck was that? So brave?!
Besides, why the need to defame other English-speaking organizations with something so characteristic of your country?!
“From Takashima Tairatsu’s distress, +999!”
“From…”
“From…”
They were aghast at Lu Shu’s logic. Probably no one from other countries would paint such graffiti!
What kind of genius was so talented in disgusting people like this? And what was he up to?!
Soon, information regarding the incident spread out, even to those not present at the scene.
As a result, Lu Shu’s sixth star went from half-filled to almost complete overnight. Its full ignition was well within his reach with a little more contributions from the Collection of Gods afterwards…
And he believed it would not be tough. I am such a genius! Lu Shu thought to himself.
It was said that the most difficult part about high-wire walking lay in the last three steps before the acrobat reached the platform.
It was because the less mature minds might let up towards the end of the performance, leading to fatal mistakes.
And to Lu Shu, the last thing on his list was to finish the last three steps cautiously and safely.
Meanwhile, as all superiors were called to the Mansion, Lu Shu had to seize this opportunity to paint a building removal symbol on every Collection of Gods aces’ homes…
With neither inheritance nor any treasures obtainable, Lu Shu’s only aim this time was his cultivation power. Therefore, he had to rely on fellow Collection of Gods members for his promotion to Class B.
When he reached Kitamura’s doorstep, a dagger suddenly shot towards him from the shadow ahead. Lu Shu was surprised by its impressive speed.
Retreating to the side at the top of his speed, Lu Shu narrowly escaped this murderous attack!
Before he could recover from his shock, he saw the attacker slowly pacing out of the shadow. She was stunning, and sakura’s were blossoming on her kimono… Wait! Isn’t that Sakurai Yaeko?!
Yaeko’s voice was as cold as the winter snow. “Kitamura Hirono, today will be the last day you live.”
“???”
Turns out this was the reason you were so emotional?!
That you came to kill me today! Hey! Sis, I’m not the one you are looking for!
Lu Shu was at a loss over what to do, because it would be unwise to change back to his own face right in front of Yaeko. Despite the inconsistency in his supposed persona, he could not risk revealing his true identity…
Lu Shu was cursing silently inside. Now, he had to take the blame for Kitamura Hirono! It was all karma!
And the issue was, he could not explain himself clearly at the moment! Sakurai! Please!
