Chapter 1094: The Ambitious

After Lu Shu left, he did not go too far away. He stayed on the roof of a house opposite to the Kirihara residence and observed them through the corner of his eye…
In the past, the enemies of the best scout, Liu Yizhao, were annoyed. They would not be easily discovered if they looked at a Rank One through the corner of their eye, but if they used the corner of their eye while fighting, they would die.
But now, Lu Shu could use the corner of his eye to calmly observe. He was very curious. Did Sakurai Yaeko live here?
After 30 minutes, a black car drove past. Over 20 Pract.i.tioners surrounded the car. Then, Sakurai Yaeko, dressed in black formal wear, walked out of the Kirihara dojo.
A Pract.i.tioner opened the door for her. When Sakurai Yaeko got into the car in a calm and unhurried manner, Lu Shu suddenly realized that this was what the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds should be like. She should not be like a young girl who wore a cherry blossom kimono.
Sakurai Yaeko had ascended to the top position prematurely. She had rapidly matured and grown, but she was still only 18.
According to Zhong Yutang, when Sakurai Yaeko was attacked by the slave owners last month, an old official in the Conservatives wanted to stage a mutiny, as they were not content with just defending j.a.pan.
The Conservatives had wanted to target the rest of the world after recovering, but Sakurai Yaeko had stopped any ambition of conquest. Thus, the old official could not accept this.
But this small wave subsided before it could do anything, as the old official had disappeared. It was difficult to pinpoint the reason why he had disappeared. The Collection of G.o.ds remained tight-lipped about this.
Everyone recalled that Sakurai Yaeko was not only the leader of the Conservatives. She was the strongest person, and the person who controlled the most people in the Collection of G.o.ds.
The black car drove away from the Kirihara dojo. The streets fell silent, as if no one had pa.s.sed by.
Lu Shu transmitted this information and asked Zhong Yutang, “When was the Kirihara dojo rebuilt?”
The information came very quickly. “It was rebuilt when Sakurai Yaeko became the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds. Since last year, no matter how busy she is, she will go to the Kirihara dojo everyday, but we don’t know what she is doing inside. None of our men can enter. Sakurai Yaeko does not allow anyone to go in.”
“Can’t you spy on them?” Lu Shu asked curiously. There did not seem to be any form of defense.
“We can’t rashly enter. Although there seems to be no one inside, the areas around the dojo have been controlled by the Collection of G.o.ds. There are many experts around,” said Zhong Yutang.
Someone was in charge of Lu Shu from Zhong Yutang’s end. Lu Shu was the Ninth Heavenly King. When he went out for missions, a specialized team from the Heavenly Network would support him with information and technology.
Lu Shu was silent for a very long time. He had thought that he was good at infiltration, but their surveillance methods were very specialized. There was a delay of 15 seconds by the surveillance equipment. He had not even realized this…
Thus, it had been meaningless for him to observe Sakurai Yaeko through the corner of his eye. When he had driven over, his car plate number and current appearance had been exposed…
Sakurai Yaeko should have known that a taxi driver called Matsuyama Shouji had come to spy on her, but she did not alert the enemy. She had probably thought that he was a slave or a slave owner.
This was very awkward. Lu Shu jumped down and looked around. He saw many surveillance cameras in hidden areas…
Forget it. He had come to protect Sakurai Yaeko. He was doing the right thing. He was not afraid of being caught…
Lu Shu quickly drove away from the Kirihara house and went home.
He stayed in a rented apartment in Tokyo. It was very small, and had poor sound insulation.
But it was not particularly arduous. After all, the Beijing floaters in the Capital lived a difficult life as well.
After Lu Shu stopped the taxi, he was suddenly dumbfounded. The gray car that he had been chasing was at his apartment!
He subconsciously looked up. It was the middle of the night. Only one room was lit up. It was his neighbor’s apartment.
There were only five apartments in this building. He could see a balcony. Could it have been a coincidence that the owner of the car lived beside him?
There were many universities in Tokyo. There were many young people in the streets of Setagaya as there were many universities here. The Tokyo University of Agriculture, Kokus.h.i.+kan University, and Komazawa University were all here.
Suddenly, Lu Shu recalled that according to Kido Takayos.h.i.+, it was Nakagawa senpai’s car. Lu Shu regretted not asking Kido Takayos.h.i.+ more questions…
Lu Shu slowly walked up. He had been here for less than a week. He did not even know who lived here.
When he reached the third floor, Lu Shu fished out his key. He was about to open the door when he heard a man and a woman fighting about something next door.
At times like these, Lu Shu was grateful that this apartment had poor sound insulation. A man deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Didn’t you say that one of your cla.s.smates is a Metahuman? Just tell me who she is. I will be able to obtain training resources and techniques!”
“I can’t tell you. It’s her secret,” said the woman in a stubborn tone. “You have not cared about me for so long. Where were you the past month? Why is that the first thing you ask me about when you return?”
“Now is not the time to talk about that. Tell me, who is that Metahuman?” The man asked in a fierce tone.
Lu Shu was sure that the man was probably the owner of the car. He was probably the Nakagawa senpai Kido Takayos.h.i.+ had mentioned.
But he furrowed his eyebrows. At first, Lu Shu felt that they could not blame the slaves, as the slaves did not have the freedom of action.
But now, this did not seem to be the case. Nakagawa was the kind of person that Zhong Yutang had mentioned, the kind who would sell their soul to a demon for benefits. He was trying to find a Metahuman hidden among his cla.s.smates, in order to find a suitable slave for his slave owner and obtain benefits from his slave owner.
The Collection of G.o.ds was very similar to the Heavenly Network. All the Pract.i.tioners belonged to them.
The Collection of G.o.ds was harsher. The Heavenly Network would let some secret pract.i.tioners go, but the Collection of G.o.ds controlled all the Pract.i.tioners and Metahumans in the country. Only a few people concealed their ident.i.ties.
Thus, when Lu Shu heard what Nakagawa said, he suddenly realized that not all of the slaves had been forced to become slaves. Some had submitted themselves to the devil because of their ambition!
The pathway between the Luniverse and the Earth had opened up. This was probably a reason to celebrate for the ambitious.
