Chapter 1042 Establishing a Reputation
Zhao Luo was utterly dumbfounded. He stood on the spot and did not return to his senses.
He lowered his head and looked at his two bodyguards. He was so frightened that he could not speak.
The staff in the surrounding manor were also profoundly shocked. They all stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Yu stood in front of Zhao Luo and looked at him. “Can you talk to me nicely anything!”
“l… I don’t want to die; please spare me. I can give you anything you want, anything!’
Lu Yu shrugged. “l don’t need anything you can give me.”
“Then… why are you here to kill me?”
“The City Lord sent someone to find me and asked me to kill you. This way, he will listen to me.’
“My brother, why do you believe this? What if he turns hostile?”
Lu Yu smiled disdainfully. “Then he’ll end up like you.”
“What? Why don’t you just go and fight him straight up? Why do you have to come to me?”
Zhao Luo asked with an aggrieved expression.
“It’s the same no matter who I deal with. It’s easier if it’s you. If the City Lord dies, the entire city will be in chaos, and that’s not the result I want.”
“If you die, Black Dragon City will not be in chaos, and the City Lord will listen to my orders. Isn’t that good?”
Zhao Luo was instantly dumbfounded. “City Lord, that bastard. Why did he find someone to kill me? I’m a good person. When have I ever done anything bad? He has lost his conscience!”
“Brother, go back and tell the City Lord that I’ve already submitted to him. I won’t cause him any trouble in the future. He’ll definitely let me off.”
Lu Yu shrugged and shook his head disapprovingly. “No, it’s not necessary. Doing that will waste my time, and I don’t want that. I’ll just end you.”
The next moment, Lu Yu did not hesitate to transform his left hand into his Explosive Dragon Claw.
The sharp claws sent chills down one’s spine.
Zhao Luo looked at the dragon claw in Lu Yu’s hand and was shocked.
“Brother, give me another chance! I’ll do anything for you!’
“It’s too late.’
In the next moment, Lu Yu swung his left claw and sliced Zhao Luo’s entire body into pieces.
The moment Lu Yu retracted his claws, Zhao Luo was still standing on the spot, unharmed.
However, after a second, his body slid to the ground in a few pieces, becoming a pile of flesh and blood.
“Let’s go find the City Lord,” said Lu Yu as he turned to look at Jiang Xun.
In the manor, the rest of the staff were all scared out of their wits when they saw what happened. They did not dare to stay here for too long.
After Lu Yu left the manor, he returned to the street outside.
The commotion here had frightened the surrounding people. They all fled and did not dare to take another step closer.
Lu Yu headed toward the city center, with Jiang Xun following behind.
Gradually, he no longer felt afraid. The first time he saw a dead person, he would be so scared that his entire body would tremble and even feel a chill.
But now, his heart was much calmer.
Lu Yu soon arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Estate. It was a five- or six-story building, with the highest floor being a separate pavilion. He didn’t know what it was used for.
Lu Yu went to the reception hall on the first floor and found a staff member. He went forward and asked, “Is the City Lord here?”
“Yes, he’s resting on the roof. He just finished his work. Do you want to see him?”
“However, the City Lord doesn’t meet just anyone. Tell me your name; I’ll go up and ask.”
At this moment, a man in black appeared beside him and walked toward Lu
“Are you done?” he asked Lu Yu.
“That’s right, it’s done.”
The man in black widened his eyes, clearly surprised.
“Now, take me to the City Lord,” Lu Yu continued.
“Of course, you’ve solved the City Lord’s biggest problem. Of course, you can go and see him.”
“Come on, I’ll take you upstairs.”
Soon, he brought Lu Yu to the top floor.
It was an open-air entertainment venue with a swimming pool, a fitness area, a place to play basketball, and some tea bars.
The man in black brought Lu Yu to the rooftop’s edge, where the City Lord was.
The City Lord lay on a bamboo chair, looking into the distance of the town, taking a sip of his drink occasionally.
“City Lord, I’ve brought them here. They successfully completed the quest you gave them and killed Zhao Luo.”
The City Lord suddenly sat up straight and turned to look at Lu Yu.
“It’s already settled?”
“That’s right, it’s already done.” The man in black emphasized it again.
“So fast. You’re indeed not an ordinary person. I’m really lucky to have found you.”
He quickly stood up and sized up Lu Yu. “What a handsome young man. A promising young man.”
“City Lord, since I’ve helped you get rid of your biggest threat, you should listen to me, right?”
“I can give you anything you want. How about this? I’ll give you 100,000 gold coins. This amount is shockingly large. It’s enough for you to live here for a lifetime! ”
Lu Yu smiled disdainfully. “Do you think I’m someone who lacks money?” Lu Yu looked into the distance. “l didn’t come here to play.”
“I want to enter the Black Dragon Academy now. You have to make an exception and let me in. I don’t want to take the troublesome exam.”
The City Lord nodded slightly and walked forward. He said in a low voice, “I’m the City Lord. When you speak, can you pay attention to your identity?
Otherwise, what would happen if others saw it?”
When Lu Yu heard this, he grabbed his neck without hesitation.
“What did you say? Pay attention to your identity? Is your identity worthy of my attention? In the future, you should be more careful with the tone you speak to me. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you!’
The City Lord, who was strangled, almost fainted.
“Stop!” The black-clothed man beside him immediately drew his sword and berated. “What are you doing?”
The people around them stood up and looked over curiously.
Lu Yu looked at the man in black and said, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll kill him along with you!
“If you don’t believe me, you can try!’
Lu Yu’s words stunned the man in black. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
He did not doubt Lu Yu’s strength, but the City Lord’s life was in danger. He could not sit still and only wanted to save the City Lord immediately.
Then, Lu Yu let go of his hand. The City Lord fell to the ground and panted
heavily.
“Do you understand now? If you don’t listen to me, your end will be death.” When Jiang Xun saw this, he felt his worldview had been shattered.
In his eyes, even the mayor of Qingtian Town was a tall mountain he didn’t dare look up to and offend, let alone the City Lord of Black Dragon City.
Yet, this man in front of him was simply trampling on the dignity of the City Lord..
