Chapter 689: Midnight Murder

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu did not know what had happened either. He was earning a flurry of distress points. Furthermore, Francesco’s distress points stood out to him…

What had happened? He had not become irritable after that fight, right? In just a short period of time, Francesco had provided him with a few chi fruits.

He looked at the pieces of paper that Coral had stuck to the window. They may have seen the pieces of paper as well. Lu Shu felt odd. This was his first time encountering such a situation. He was slightly fl.u.s.tered.

Lu Shu stood at the window and gazed at the night sky for a long time. He did not know what he was doing either. After one hour, a new piece of paper was stuck on the window. “Good night.”

Lu Shu suddenly realized that he had waited here for an hour as if he was waiting for something.

He laid down on his bed. He put his arms behind his head. He could not help but think that Coral, like him, probably did not have an easy childhood.

She was born to an ill.u.s.trious family in the Deities. Unlike Lu Shu, many people fixed their eyes upon her the moment she was born. She was destined to lose a lot of fun and many friends.

Coral had placed all the letters that she had written to him into a metal box and gave it to him. Thus, he could understand Coral a bit better.

She did not have the chance to ride a bicycle home after school with her friends. She did not have the chance to stroll through a boulevard full of fallen leaves. She walked into the magically-rich era without experiencing all these and became the Master of G.o.ds.

Lu Shu pondered. He did not know whether Coral’s problem had been solved. As he thought about this, the sc.r.a.ping of the snowy mountain did not stop.

You Mingyu sent a message. “Are your surroundings safe? We have to tell you something urgently.”

Lu Shu replied, “Safe.”

A call came from You Mingyu. “It seems like the organizations that were watching Coral have moved. I don’t know what happened, but you have to be careful amidst this chaos!”

Lu Shu opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Then he remembered what had happened just now. He remained silent.

You Mingyu said, “Not only does the Department of Faith Theory have their eye on Coral, many organizations have joined in as well. To them, there is not only one World Tree on Sardinia. There are two!”

When Lu Shu heard about this, he grew upset. One of the World Trees was being sold by an European aristocrat. The other was the Gungnir that belonged to Coral.

The World Tree was very attractive. It was like the Treasure of Heaven and Earth in Wuxia ¹ novels. It was equivalent to an artefact that allowed someone to be able to obtain abilities that could only be obtained after decades of training.

In ancient books and records, and even in novels, the World Tree had always been a topic in myths. It was the origin of a world.

“Which organizations have had their eye on Coral?” Lu Shu laughed coldly.

“Why are you so angry?” You Mingyu was dumbfounded. He did not quite know what was going on.

“Can you answer my question and not avoid it?” Lu Shu awkwardly changed the subject.

“The Danke from Germany, the Reykja from Iceland and the Pledge from England have set off,” said You Mingyu. “We don’t have to worry too much about the organization from England. The Pledge was badly defeated by Heavenly King Li back at the Koh Chang Island remains. There are no experts in Iceland either. But you should be careful of the Danke.”

Lu Shu thought about it. “Tell me the details.”

He wanted to know more about the organizations that had their eye on Coral. These organizations had probably received some information that there were more than one organization who were targeting the Deities. Thus, they probably came to see if they could benefit from it.

Furthermore, the Deities were sworn enemies with the Danke. The Danke felt that ordinary people should become the slaves of Metahumans. But the Deities were even better. They threatened the Danke everyday…

“Not many members of the Danke have come, but their leader has come along as well. You have to be careful of their Satan. He is very powerful.” You Mingyu emphasized, “He is only one step away from Cla.s.s A.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Three eggs ² … sounds better than just one…”

You Mingyu was confused.

What are you talking about? Why do I feel that we are not on the same path? But You Mingyu was not normal either.

You Mingyu then became speechless. He did not know how Lu Shu’s thought process was like but nonetheless, he was amazed and shocked.

“From You Mingyu’s distress, +666!”

“Ahem.” Lu Shu suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood what You Mingyu had said. “Anything else?”

“According to reliable information, Coral’s abilities may have advanced due to a special circ.u.mstance, but we cannot determine exactly how much she had advanced.”

“Can you tell me something I don’t know…” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He suddenly thought of something. The effects of the refresher fruit were amazing. Could he make an issue out of this?

He would definitely not sell the fruits in his entire lifetime. To Lu Shu, the refresher fruit was worth more than money. If he could exchange the fruits for a strong mythical object, he would still consider. But there had to be a suitable moment before he was willing to do so.

If not, when everyone knew that Lu Shu had an inexhaustible supply of refresher fruits, the entire world would go crazy. In terms of practicality, Lu Shu felt that it was just as attractive to experts as the World Tree.

At that moment, it was as if the entire world had its eyes on this small island. Another incident that would shake the entire realm of cultivation would probably occur.

“The team will arrive in 6 days. Be prepared to receive them. Don’t get into any accidents before that. If your ident.i.ty is exposed, you may retreat.” After You Mingyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lu Shu got up and sat at the side of the bed. The piece of paper with “Good night” written on it was still there. Coral did not mind letting the whole world know about her feelings. But these four pieces of paper was a secret that the two of them shared.

“Good night,” said Lu Shu.

He wished for this world to be just a little more fair, so that Coral would not have to face things that she should not face so early.

Suddenly, Lu Shu sensed an eruption of energy. It was as if a war was happening far away.

The wave of energy was like a siren that slowly spread in the silence of the night. Lu Shu could not understand. Why did they have to fight everyday?

“From…”

“From…”

When Lu Shu saw the distress points, he was dumbfounded. It was too much of a coincidence. Did you have to involve me in your conflict?!

He did not know that this fight had occurred as there was a conflict between organizations while they changed their surveillance spot. Whoever wanted a better spot would have to fight for it…

A girl’s mood had caused a murder. Lu Shu did not know how the large organizations would react when they found out about the truth…
