Chapter 705: Explosive Drummer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They looked up and realized the drummer on stage was looking at them and laughing coldly. The drumbeat was quick and explosive. The crowd was moving along to the rhythm of the drumbeat.

“Arturo!” Someone said in a small voice when they saw the drummer, “He is controlling everything.”

“Tell everyone. Surround this place.” Someone else laughed coldly. “Satan himself is here. Even if Arturo is present, so what?”

Arturo’s hair was tied up. His beard had a charm unique to middle-aged men. He was like an artist who walked through the wilderness. His body was full of explosive power.

Arturo suddenly aimed at the microphone. The voice of the main vocalist slowly faded away. Arturo laughed. “Our guests are here. For this performance, we, the Cartel, stand on the side of justice.”

The audience cheered. All the people in Sardinia were celebrating!

The people who had been following Lu Shu and Coral stood outside the crowd and looked coldly at Arturo. They were surprised by how the Cartel was no longer neutral, unlike in the past. But they did not dare to respond to the insults and mockery they received. Arturo’s abilities were a mystery. No one knew exactly how strong he was. But he was not someone that small fry like them could handle.

The main vocalist started to sing again. But this time, she was much more excited and indignant.

“Our world has turned into a desolate scene.”

“But we still hold on to our swords and s.h.i.+elds. We defend the border of justice.”

“The enemy is like an ocean. We look at the black stream rolling in from the distance.”

“We are invincible!”

Lu Shu suddenly saw everyone outside the pickup truck smiling kindly at them. The driver uncle, who was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses, said with an air of coolness, “Plan B has been activated. Let’s go!”

Lu Shu carried Coral bridal-style and was surrounded by a crowd. They walked towards the border of the venue. He did not know where this group of people were bringing him.

The venue of the music festival was surrounded by cars that formed a boundary. Lu Shu and Coral were being surrounded and escorted to the border.

A car door opened in front of him. The driver, who was wearing an exquisite ceremonial robe, had alighted and opened the door for them. Lu Shu carried Coral and entered the car. Someone placed a white floral crown on Coral’s head.

The people who had been following them stood on the roof of their cars, but they could not see where Lu Shu and Coral had gone. The members of the Cartel were blocking their whereabouts!

Lu Shu suddenly felt that this was like a spy movie. The people were his bodyguards.

Just after he boarded the car, the rhythm of the drumbeat changed. The hundred cars outside the venue suddenly turned on their headlamps. They revved their engines and rushed out. Every car was traveling in its own direction! No one outside the venue could see which car Lu Shu was in!

Arturo continued drumming on the stage, but the singing had stopped. Arturo laughed wildly. His ponytail wildly swinging behind him. “The celebration has started. Follow the light!”

The members of the Cartel were like a group of behavioral artists who had gone mad…

The people who had been following Lu Shu and Coral turned pale. Looking at the dozens of cars that were moving at the same time, they could not determine which car Lu Shu and Coral were in. They dialed a number and roared, “We have lost our target! We have lost our target! The Cartel is s.h.i.+elding them!”

In the carnival world, the Cartel had never met Lu Shu and Coral before. But they were willing to fight the entire world for them.

Lu Shu sat in the car, confused. He asked the driver, “Brother, where are we going?”

“Everything has been prepared! Don’t worry!” The driver announced with a look of certainty.

“What has been prepared?” Lu Shu was very confused. “Brother, this is our first time meeting, but I really feel like jumping out of this car…”

The driver turned around and asked, “Aren’t the two of you getting married at St Paul’s Cathedral?”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

He had only told the uncle that they were going to St Paul’s Cathedral. Why did the Cartel think that they were getting married?

Lu Shu suddenly realized that the white tree mark in his hand was growing brighter and brighter. He had not noticed until now. It was as if it wanted to absorb Gungnir. Lu Shu did not know what was happening.

The driver suddenly said, “Are you not getting married in St Paul’s Cathedral?”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Why do you all think that we are getting married?”

“Because that place is a sacred spot to get married,” said the driver naturally. “Every year, countless tourists come here. They all hold the conviction that they will protect each other for the rest of their lives and come here to get married. They make their vows there and receive blessings there. How sacred.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Only after a long time did he realize that he did not understand much about the situation here as he was Chinese. When Coral told him that she wanted to go to St Paul’s Cathedral, she probably meant what the driver said. But he did not understand…

Lu Shu sighed. He did not understand, and Coral did not reveal it either.

Coral probably did not want to hold an official marriage. But as a young girl, she would eventually have regrets. Thus, she wanted to see the weddings of others and slowly make up for her regret.

She had never told Lu Shu about this regret.

“Could you drive a bit faster,” said Lu Shu in a soft voice.

“Sure!” The driver stepped on the accelerator. He was like a warrior who rode on a galloping horse. The civilians of Sardinia were all fired up. The driver felt as if he was the main character. It was amazing.

Suddenly, Cao Qingci, Chen Zuan, and the rest who were walking among the crowd suddenly felt that it was not as disorderly and unsystematic as before. The crowd was flowing like water, surging in one direction.

“What’s happening?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “I didn’t see anyone giving orders. This group of people seem as if they had suddenly received orders to all run in one direction!”

“Someone is giving them orders,” said Cao Qingci calmly. “They are just using less technologically advanced methods. After one person receives information, that person will tell others. Look. They’re discussing among themselves.”

“And no one is talking to us.” Cheng Qiuqiao said, “They have a goal in mind when spreading the information. We are strangers, thus the civilians of Sardinia have cast us outside of their information network. They all know one another.”

“There’s no need for us to enter their information network. We just have to go with the flow. They will eventually point us towards the right destination.” Cao Qingci calmly walked forward. “We will definitely be able to see Lu Shu at the destination. Everyone, be prepared to fight. He has secretly done a lot for us. I feel like we are unworthy. We should do something for him too.”

Han You and the rest were dumbfounded. There seemed to be a lot that they did not know about, but Cao Qingci knew what had happened. What did Lu Shu do that made Cao Qingci feel unworthy?

Cao Qingci was a genius acknowledged by the Cla.s.s A geniuses. While Lu Shu was a lunatic.
