Chapter 267: The Opportunity That Presented Itself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Tell me then. How did the Hu family rob you of this business deal?”
To help Wang Hu vent his anger, it was natural to ask how his feud with the Hu family actually arose.
Moreover, Lu Yu also wanted to know how he could take this opportunity to get back at the Hu family with a vengeance.
In the face of Lu Yu’s inquiry, Wang Hu first poured himself and Lu Yu a cup of hot tea each.
Then, with a steaming cup of tea in his hand, Wang Hu told Lu Yu unhurriedly how the situation came about.
“Brother, it’s like this. I, Wang Hu, have always been involved in the business of trading these beast meat ingredients and some spiritual energy ore and such.”
“But some time back, I was approached by a seller with a large amount of spiritual energy ore.”
“Originally, the seller and I had already come to an agreement. But this Hu family suddenly found out about this deal from who knew where.”
“Then they simply kidnapped the family of the owner of that batch of spiritual energy ore without reason. They forced the seller to sell them this batch of spiritual energy ore at an extremely low price.”
At this point, an icy glint invariably flashed across Wang Huts eyes as he told Lu Yu the whole incident through gritted teeth.
“Brother, I can clearly sense your cultivation level. With your War General cultivation level, I think it’s enough to teach the Hu family a lesson!”
After listening to Wang Huts words, Lu Yu also felt a deep sense of disgust in his heart for the Hu family’s arrogance and tyranny.
Coupled with the notion that the Hu family wanted to wipe out his whole family, a wisp of killing intent slowly rose up in Lu Yu’s body.
When Wang Hu felt the intense killing intent rising from Lu Yu’s body, the hair on Wang Hu’s back instantly stood on ends, and his entire body began
trembling uncontrollably.
“Bro… brother, withdraw your aura quickly. I am not quite able to endure it.”
With Wang Huts reminder, Lu Yu was able to come back to his senses, and hurriedly withdrew his aura.
Having felt Lu Yu’s immense aura, Wang Hu became increasingly more certain in his heart that it was a wise choice for him to seek out Lu Yu.
“I already know about your grudge with the Hu family, but I want to know, how are you planning to take revenge on them?”
As Lu Yu spoke, he raised his head and stared at Wang Hu with a fixed glare.
Wang Hu narrowed his eyes and answered slowly in response to Lu Yu’s inquiry.
“I have done some investigations long ago. The Hu family is preparing to sell a very precious item at the auction in a few days.”
“Brother, I would like to ask you to rob this item from them, and make the Hu family a laughing stock!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu could not help feeling gleeful.
This was because Wang Hu’s intentions coincided with his idea.
Initially, Lu Yu was planning to take advantage of this auction, locate a few things that were sufficiently expensive, and steal them.
In this way, the Southern Seas Hotel, which was the venue for the auction, would once again become the target of public criticism.
However, right now, the information Wang Hu provided had given Lu Yu other ideas.
Since the Hu family had something that they wanted to put up for auction, what could be more infuriating to the Hu family than stealing this very item that they wanted to auction off?
“Then have you found out the place where this item is stored, and other information?”
“Brother, please rest assured of this matter. I have already found out the necessary information in advance. The Hu family values this treasure very much.”
“For this reason, they even assigned a powerful expert at the level of a War General to personally guard this treasure. ”
“And this treasure is currently being stored within the Hu family’s underground treasure vault at the Southern Seas Hotel, just waiting for the auction to begin.”
Wang Hu told Lu Yu all the information he had dug out. At the same time, he also took out a detailed building blueprint of the interior of the Southern Seas Hotel.
“Brother, this is the building blueprint of the interior layout of the Southern
Seas Hotel that I managed to get hold of. I hope it will be of some help to you.”
Lu Yu felt even more elated as he accepted the building blueprint that Wang Hu handed over to him.
With this building blueprint showing the internal layout of the Southern Seas Hotel, Lu Yu’s confidence in this operation’s success increased a few more notches.
“Alright. I will take care of this matter for you. You just wait to receive the good news that the Hu family has suffered a great humiliation!”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he put the Southern Seas Hotel’s building blueprint into his coat.
Thereafter, Lu Yu picked up the cup of tea on the table, raised his head and downed the tea in the cup in one gulp. He then stood up, turned around and walked out of the office.
As Wang Hu watched Lu Yu leave, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a massive weight had been lifted.
“Hu family, it’s time for you guys to pay the price for all that you have done!”
After leaving the warehouse, Lu Yu made use of his speed advantage to circle around the nearby vicinity several times to make sure that no one followed him. Only then did he hail a cab by the side of the road to go back to the city.
The moment Lu Yu reappeared in the inner city, Yao Xianming, who was on pins and needles the whole time, also received the news.
When he learned that Lu Yu had reappeared in the city, Yao Xianming instantly felt relieved.
Ever since he found out that the Hu family had once again sent Shadow Guards to assassinate Lu Yu, he had been on tenterhooks.
Fearing that the enraged Lu Yu would do something drastic, he reminded Sima Yu, who had been tailing Lu Yu, to pay more attention.
Sima Yu was to report to Yao Xianming at once the moment he discovered anything amiss with Lu Yu.
However, according to the news reported by Sima Yu just now, other than the news of Lu Yu going missing, everything was still under control.
Yao Xianming breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the incident carefully, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.
Thus, Yao Xianming immediately dialed Sima Yu’s phone number.
“Hey, Sima Yu. Go and find out immediately where Lu Yu went and who he had contacted during the few hours he disappeared from the city!”
On the other end of the line, after Sima Yu received Yao Xianming’s instruction, he did not dare to be lax in his duties and answered in a hurry, “Yes, Commander. I will send someone to check now!”
After ending the phone call, Sima Yu immediately summoned the person in charge of monitoring Lu Yu and relayed Yao Xianming’s orders to him.
After receiving the order, countless spies working for the capital’s Supreme Commander began searching around for news with great fervor.
At the same time as the capital’s Supreme Commander was trying to find ways and means to dig out news on Lu Yu, Lu Yu returned home in a leisurely fashion.
After seeing Lu Yu return safely, a massive weight was finally lifted off Giovanna’s shoulders.
Lu Yu handed a chunk of meat from a D-class monster, the Blood-sucking
Ferocious Hog, that he had bought from the mall to Giovanna
‘My dear, cook a dish with this piece of meat for those two siblings, Shan’er and Shui’er!”
“That should stop these two little guys from pestering me all the time. Let them satisfy their craving.”
After hearing Lu Yu’s words, Giovanna took the meat of the Blood-sucking Ferocious Hog and rolled her eyes at Lu Yu somewhat helplessly.
“Fine, fine, fine! And you! You can just keep on spoiling them both!”
“Hahaha! Well, I did promise Shan’er I would get them a piece of meat from a low-grade monster the last time.”
“We, as parents, can’t go back on our word!”
Lu Yu accepted his wife’s rebuke with a smile and laughed as he looked to the side at Lu Shan and Lu Shui..
