Chapter 975 Assassination
Lu Yu won first place in the martial arts tournament and even received the Orlando family’s badge.
According to Quide’s introduction, this badge had influential power and could be used in almost any situation.
If you wanted to buy something, you could use this badge. If you wanted to use your privileges, you could also use this badge. Even if you committed a crime, you could be paroled under the protection of this badge.
Lu Yu and the others left the colosseum and returned to Elena’s manor.
After returning to the manor, the five of them entered the front yard and began to size up the badge on Lu Yu’s chest curiously.
“This badge looks really good. The workmanship is excellent.”
“It looks different from the badges in ordinary jewelry stores. As expected of the Orlando family. It’s just extraordinary.”
“Let’s bring this badge to the market later and see if this thing is useful.”
“Of course, it’s useful,” said Elena with a smile. “The champion of the previous martial arts tournament has always worn this badge. However, it’s the first time that Lu Yu was given an opportunity to wear it permanently.”
This also weirded out Lu Yu. It seemed that these people were too afraid of the duck flying away, so they drew a big, promising pie for Lu Yu.
As long as Lu Yu went to the Central Court City, he would be able to keep the badge forever, which would pique Lu Yu’s interest.
“Once I obtain this badge, I’ll probably have a much easier time traveling in Central Court City. I’ll be able to infiltrate the Orlando family easily.”
Lu Yu looked at the Empress and said, “We will stay here for tonight. However, I would like to trouble you into doing something. I need your help to assassinate Quide.”
“Why that guy?” The Empress asked curiously.
“He’s a member of the Orlando family, and he’s quite important in West Court City. If we can assassinate him, we can temporarily throw West Court City into chaos and also cause interference for the Orlando family.”
“That’s not a problem. However, aren’t you afraid that they will suspect you?” The Empress nodded slightly.
“Don’t worry about that. Quide must have many enemies, and many people want to make a move on him. Besides, his strongest bodyguard is dead, so there won’t be any security forces coming up for now.”
“So, go assassinate Quide tonight. There’s a high chance that they won’t suspect me.”
The Empress nodded in agreement with Lu Yu’s analysis.
“No problem. In that case, I will move now. I will be able to get rid of that guy at noon.”
After saying that, the empress turned around and left the manor.
“Isn’t she an empress?” Elena looked at the empress and asked curiously. “Logically speaking, she should be the ruler of an empire. But why is she helping you with the assassination?”
Lu Yu smiled and said helplessly, “The reason is very complicated. I can’t explain it.”
“Tell me, I’m really curious. How did an assassin become an empress?”
“Because she manages a special country. She grew up there and learned to hide her ability from a young age.”
“In that kingdom, you will never see the sun, only endless darkness. In the darkness, she learned a powerful stealth technique.”
Hearing this, Elena understood. “I see. I didn’t expect there to be such a country. No wonder she’s like a fish in water when she moves at night. She’s not even affected by the darkness at all.”
The four of them returned to the villa together. They ate dinner and waited for news from the Empress.
At this moment, the Empress was wearing a black traveling suit and walking briskly on the dark street.
There weren’t many people on either side of the street, but the Empress’s figure was particularly obvious.
The tight-fitting black traveling clothes perfectly outlined the Empress’s proud figure.
When some hooligans mingling in the night saw this, they could not help but lean over.
“It’s a pity that a chick with such a good figure is out on the streets. Why don’t you come home with me? How about I keep you as my mistress?”
A perverted man who was smoking a cigarette walked over and smiled at the Empress.
The Empress looked at him, and he blew a puff of smoke at her.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”
Swoosh!
The next moment, the Empress suddenly drew her dagger. With a flash of cold light, the man in front of her fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out of his neck.
When the others witnessed it, they immediately panicked.
“Murder! Someone has been killed here!”
The surrounding people were frightened and ran away.
“What a scumbag. How dare you speak such filth before me?” The Empress spat disdainfully.
She followed the route and soon arrived in front of Quide’s manor.
In the center of the city, where every inch of land was extremely expensive, Quide had circled out a large piece of land and built a luxurious manor for himself. It was so large that it was like a park. It would not be a problem for hundreds of people to play here.
When the Empress arrived at the entrance, her figure gradually turned transparent. She easily entered the manor.
Inside the brightly lit villa, Quide and Mary sat on the sofa, their faces filled with smiles.
“Hahahaha, we’ve really profited big this time!”
Mary quickly reminded him. “You have to know that we’re in a state of loss now. We’re missing a powerful bodyguard, and we’ve just given out a badge. If he doesn’t listen to us, we’ll suffer a huge loss.”
Hearing this, Quide shook his head confidently.
“Impossible. Didn’t you see how greedy that guy was during the day? He can’t wait to teleport to Central Court City immediately and enjoy endless privileges after completing his registration!”
“He’s just a young man. How can he withstand such temptation? He’s probably dying of anxiety. Just wait and see.”
Hearing this, Mary knew it wasn’t unreasonable. That young man did not look like a sly fox, so he should not be able to see through their tricks.
“Hmm, why didn’t I hear of such a person in West Court City before?”
“Hehe, judging from his looks, he’s not a local. He must be from the outside, but who cares? We will be making a fortune. That’s the most important thing.”
“After we offer the herbs to the Demon Blood Lord, we will reach the peak of our lives. I’m sure no one in the family will dare speak loudly to us after that.”
Thinking about the future, he was excited and wanted to send Lu Yu over immediately.
“You said that he is a foreigner?”
“There are such experts outside? There’s definitely something wrong. What other place can gather more talents than the Grand Court?”
Mary quickly got up and walked toward the filing cabinet.
After rummaging around, she found something incredible and took it with trembling hands.
“Look at this! We’ve ignored all the documents sent down by the higher-ups in the past. We haven’t even read them!”
Mary walked over and placed the document on the table, and on it was Lu Yu’s personal information photo.
“Wait… isn’t this Little Dragon?”
“Look carefully. He’s the person wanted by the Ember Empire. He wants to stop our empire from controlling their world. He’s our enemy. He infiltrated our empire to cause destruction!”
