Chapter 979 Family Secret

In the meeting hall, Lu Yu looked at the people in front of him. These people all had ulterior motives, and no one could tell what they were thinking.

Lu Yu turned to look at Osborne and said, “This time, the kidnapping of Elena is definitely a conspiracy. Someone in your family is in contact with the Orlando family.”

Hearing this, Osborne’s eyes suddenly became gloomy, sweeping his gaze over the crowd.

This news wasn’t good for him, as he hated traitors the most.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who it is, I will not let him off!”

“If I catch you, prepare to die!”

Osborne turned his head to look at Lu Yu and replied, “However, this matter has long passed; I’m afraid we won’t be able to find any clues in a short time.”

“Sigh, I can only try my best. Elena, you need to be more careful in the family.”

“Tonight, I’m going to have a celebration party to celebrate the safe return of Elena. I hope everyone can come.”

With that, he walked out of the meeting hall.

Then, the crowd dispersed, and their expressions did not look good. Many people looked at Lu Yu with disgust.

Elena walked toward Lu Yu. “Ignore them. Let’s go.”

The five of them walked out of the meeting hall together.

“Who do you think it could be?” Elena asked as they walked on the lawn.

Lu Yu shrugged helplessly. “How would I know? There are so many of them inside there. Even if I have the ability to read minds, I can’t read all of them.”

“By the way, do you have any enemies in your family?”

Lu Yu asked.

After hearing this, Elena thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t really have any enemies, but I do have a cousin who has always been jealous of my talent. I always hear her complain about why this talent isn’t hers.”

Lu Yu’s eyes lit up. “Go find your cousin. Just think of it as catching up.”

Elena nodded and led Lu Yu to a villa.

Walking along the street, there were two rows of villas arranged evenly beside them.

Soon, Elena arrived at a villa and pushed open the iron gates.

She stood at the entrance of the villa and knocked on the door.

Not long after, someone opened the door.

A young face poked her head out. She had a head of fluffy, golden, curly hair and wore round-rimmed glasses.

She looked curiously at them. “Elena? It’s you? You returned home?”

She opened the door and approached Elena.

“Molly, I’m home. I’ve been through a lot of setbacks, but I’m still strong enough to come through.”

Elena stared at Molly, observing her reaction.

Molly was only stunned for a moment before she smiled happily.

“That’s great. Congratulations on your return. You escaped from the enemy’s clutches; we must celebrate tonight!”

“Come on in! I’ll get you some freshly baked cookies.”

Elena brought Lu Yu and the others in.

Molly returned to the kitchen and took out some gingerbread biscuits. She placed them on the table and looked at the crowd with a smile. “Eat up.”

Soon, she turned her gaze to Lu Yu.

Immediately, she began to observe curiously.

“He looks special, and he doesn’t look like someone from our empire, but I can’t say for sure. After all, our empire’s territory is too vast, and there are many races.”

Central Court City was a metropolis and a bustling commercial center. They could meet all kinds of races from all over the empire here.

No matter how many different kinds of people Molly had seen, it was her first time seeing someone with Lu Yu’s appearance.

Lu Yu looked similar to the people here, but his facial features were very different.

She looked at Elena curiously.

Elena also shook her head. “I don’t know where he came from, but he saved me. That’s enough.”

Molly looked at Lu Yu and smiled. “Thank you so much for saving my cousin. I’m really grateful to you.”

Lu Yu only nodded slightly and did not say anything else.

From the looks of it, there was nothing wrong with this girl’s behavior.

Elena also looked at Lu Yu and shrugged helplessly; she couldn’t deduce anything.

Although the two of them did not have a good relationship previously, Molly was still happy about Elena’s return.

The Nightmare Dragon’s voice sounded in Lu Yu’s mind.

“Master, let’s enter her dream at night and spy on the truth.”

“Did you notice anything?” Lu Yu replied in his mind.

“Yes, she lied.”

Lu Yu’s eyes widened as even he couldn’t tell that the girl in front of him was lying!

She said it so naturally, like breathing.

“Really? Did she lie? Why can’t I tell?”

“I can sense the other party’s thoughts more carefully than you can. However, when she’s not asleep, her defenses are strong, so I can’t probe deeper.”

“I can only explore her true thoughts after I enter her dream at night.”

“Master, I’ll dig out the truth tonight.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “No problem. Let’s wait until tonight.”

Molly saw Lu Yu nodding his head slightly and asked curiously, “What are you thinking?”

Lu Yu quickly looked over and said, “It’s nothing. It’s not easy for you to meet each other again. Why don’t you two catch up?”

Lu Yu stood up and prepared to leave.

The Empress followed closely behind and left the villa together.

Helen and Shirley sat beside Elena, chatting while eating biscuits.

Helen and Shirley had more common areas to chat with them, unlike Lu Yu and the Empress, who obviously didn’t get along well with them.

After all, they were in a completely unfamiliar environment. Lu Yu had no idea about daily life here and did not know what to talk about.

When they arrived outside, the Empress stood beside Lu Yu and looked around.

“Do you think something is wrong?” The Empress asked.

“Molly is lying. I’m not sure what she’s lying about, but I’m sure she has something to do with Elena’s kidnapping. After all, they haven’t seen each other for a few months. If she’s lying, I’m afraid we won’t know how to discern truth from lies.”

“What should we do next?” The Empress asked hurriedly.

“Let’s wait. I’ll find an opportunity to break through her dream at night.”

“Are you still relying on your Nightmare Dragon Claw?” The Empress asked curiously.

“That’s right. The Nightmare Dragon told me about Molly’s lying earlier. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t know that.”

“In that case, we can only wait until night falls. I didn’t expect that little girl to be related to Elana’s kidnapping.” The Empress sighed.

Soon, it was late at night. On a vast lawn, preparations for the banquet were gradually made.
