Chapter 512 - Shrouded in Darkness, but Headed towards Hope (1/2)

Not even on death’s door did Kawayoshi think that the Class D beginner Yamada Akira he knew was the Ninth Heavenly King they had been looking for all this time.

As for him being able to kill Lu Shu at any time, this was probably only possible in his dreams. Not even the entire Collection of Gods could defeat him, except for Takashima Tairatsu and Kitamura Kijitori.

But Kitamura Kijitori was not in this base, while a Class B expert like Takashima Tairatsu could not possibly stay in this base the entire time. So at this very moment, Lu Shu did not have any enemies in this base.

The only variable was when Takashima Tairatsu would arrive, Lu Shu could not confirm this. Furthermore, he had no cellular data and could not establish a connection with the outside information systems. He was thus unable to know Takashima’s whereabouts.

Lu Shu looked at Kawayoshi paralysed on the floor, his neck bent in an unnatural angle. Lu Shu did not have even a bit of compassion for him. As long as they were a member of the Collection of Gods, he could kill them.

Of course, he had to avoid a violent massacre. Lu Shu had realised that there were many spies from the Heavenly Network in the Collection of Gods. If he had accidentally killed a spy and this was made known to the Collection of Gods, he would feel guilty. He was not a cold blooded person, just a little selfish.

But this did not mean that he had no intention of killing others. He still had a lot of targets, for example Kuriyama.

He was afraid that in Kuriyama’s eyes, he was simply a Class D and not worthy of acknowledgment. Lu Shu laughed coldly. He took seven magical stones from Kawayoshi’s body. As for the magical stone in Kawayoshi’s hand that been absorbed halfway, Lu Shu did not discard it either, he simply tossed it into the Seal of Lands.

Even if it was absorbed halfway, it could still be sold for money. Even if you have several hundred thousand magical stones, you still had to live, right?

It was easy to go from a poor to a rich lifestyle, but it was difficult to go from a rich to a poor lifestyle. Lu Shu felt that he had to maintain the honourable tradition of being hardworking and thrifty.

Mystic water rushed out from the Seal of Lands, getting rid of all the evidence. Kawayoshi’s katana had provided the mystic water with new energy. Lu Shu had wanted to disguise himself as Kawayoshi and approach Kuriyama, but his height did not complement that of Kawayoshi’s.

Lu Shu left and went to find Kuriyama’s office. He knocked on the door, but there was no reply. He knocked again, but there was still no reply. Lu Shu recalled that the sound insulation in the base was very good. It couldn’t be that even the sound insulation of the office door was that good?! Or was there simply no one inside?

He needed Kuriyama’s approval for leave before he could sneak out. He decided to try again.

Knock knock knock! Lu Shu almost broke the door!

“From Kuriyama Kumo’s distress, +399!”

“From Miyazaki Yuu’s distress, +499!”

With a ding, Lu Shu realised that the indicator above the door had turned from red to green. Kuriyama’s voice, filled with anger, resonated from inside the room. “Come in.”

Kacha! The door unlocked. Lu Shu pushed the door open. He saw the female Practitioner called Miyazaki buttoning her shirt. Even two of Takashima’s underlings had been involved in this?

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Kawayoshi, Kawayoshi, did you really admire someone like him…

Kuriyama angrily said, “Don’t you know how to press the doorbell?” Miyazaki was elegantly seated at the sofa by the side. She was touching up her makeup, completely ignoring Lu Shu.

Lu Shu was gloomy. He had completely forgotten about the existence of the doorbell…

“This is my first time in this underground base. I didn’t know that there’s a doorbell. My apologies, my apologies…” Lu Shu laughed and closed the door.

“What have you come here for?” Kuriyama adjusted his own clothes, as if he was not concerned that Lu Shu knew his relationship with Miyazaki.
