867 Chapter 867 Encircled
Chapter 867 Encircled
In the royal dining hall, everyone’s eyes turned to Lu Yu when he walked in.
When they saw Lu Yu’s figure, they were all stunned.
Some people suspended their knives and forks in the air, while others stopped eating.
They did not expect Lu Yu to appear here, especially beside General Sean.
When Isabel saw this, she felt as if she were dreaming.
She had never thought that Lu Yu would be together with General Sean. This was her worst nightmare coming true!
She stood up and turned to look at General Sean, asking in disbelief, “General Sean…You… how do you know him?”
After asking, she immediately looked at Lu Yu and shouted, “This is the royal palace. You despicable peasant, how dare you enter here? Get out, or you’ll be executed!”
Norton also stood up and looked at Lu Yu with anger in his eyes.
“How dare you sneak into our palace? I think you’re courting death. You’re the bastard who killed our Golden Griffin, right? I’ll make you pay with your blood!”
The two of them chastised Lu Yu at the same time.
Sean took a step back and let Lu Yu stand in front of him.
Seeing this, Elizabeth was even more confused.
She looked at General Sean in confusion and asked, “General, why are you doing this?”
She was a little confused when she saw General Sean stepping back and looking like he was with Lu Yu.
It was as if he were standing behind Lu Yu and supporting him.
Lu Yu looked at Isabel and said indifferently, “You locked your own sister up; amazing, really.”
Isabel glared at Lu Yu and replied confidently, “That’s our family matter. What does it have to do with you? Moreover, she invited a wolf into her house, and it seems I didn’t do enough!”
“You should have been sentenced to death long ago for killing Walter. Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!”
Isabel spat angrily.
Lu Yu glanced at everyone and said coldly, “In the beginning, when Walter went missing, none of the royal family members went to look for him. Elizabeth had led her men into the ancient ruins to find Walter.”
“During that time, you people were eating, drinking, and enjoying yourselves here, no?”
“Since that’s the case, you don’t even care about Walter’s life. Now, you’re using this as an excuse to deal with Elizabeth. Don’t you think it’s just ironic?”
Lu Yu knew that these people had formed their clique, and Elizabeth was the one who was excluded.
“What does our matter have to do with you? Everyone, get ready. We’ve got to apprehend the murderer. We can’t let him escape!”
Swoosh!
At the dining table, the people sitting around quickly stood up. Nearly a hundred people took out their weapons and looked at Lu Yu fiercely.
Isabel looked at General Sean and asked, “General, aren’t you going to do something? This is the bastard who killed Walter. As a royal family member, you should make him pay the price!”
“I… I’ll just watch from outside. You can handle the rest.”
With that, he turned around and walked out.
He did not want to help Lu Yu, nor would he stop him.
Although he was already disappointed in the royal family, he would not personally do this for the sake of the late Emperor.
Of course, he would not stop Lu Yu either. Moreover, he did not have the strength to stop him.
Looking at General Sean’s back, everyone was dumbfounded.
“General Sean, what do you mean? Shouldn’t you be protecting us?”
“That’s right, General Sean. You fought outside for so many years, and didn’t you do it to protect us? Have you forgotten the promise you made to the Emperor?”
“Are you going to abandon the royal family? Are you a traitor too? Do you want the Lionheart Empire to fall into chaos?”
All the nobles tried to persuade Sean in the dining hall, hoping he would turn around and help them deal with Lu Yu.
They had been lazing around for years. If General Sean could help them solve this problem, they would naturally not do it themselves.
However, General Sean turned around and left decisively. He acted as if he did not hear their pleas.
Seeing this, the nobles were all shocked. They could not understand what Lu Yu had done to turn General Sean against them.
“Don’t think you are safe just because General Sean won’t apprehend you. We’re more than enough to deal with you. Do you really think we’re weak? You’re courting death when you decide to challenge so many of us alone!”
“That’s right. I advise you to get out of here quickly. Otherwise, you’ll die here!”
“Don’t think that we’re easy to deal with. If we attack together, you won’t last three seconds!”
These people threatened Lu Yu verbally.
Lu Yu only smiled faintly and felt the ridiculousness of these threats.
They knew Lu Yu was not weak since he could defeat the Golden Griffin. Of course, they believed in their strength, especially when they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
At that moment, Isabel looked at Lu Yu and said, “If you know what’s good for you, leave now. We’ll pretend nothing happened, so don’t disturb our banquet!”
Lu Yu sneered disdainfully. “You just berated me, and now you want me to leave? Do you think you can pretend that nothing happened? Aren’t you being too arrogant? I’ll enjoy slowly playing with you guys.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu grabbed the neck of a young noble beside him and lifted him into the air.
He pulled out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword.
The youth who was lifted into the air peed his pants when he saw the sword in Lu Yu’s hand.
“Wait, I didn’t offend you! I’m just here for a meal! Brother, they won’t allow you to leave if you kill me!”
Isabel shouted, “If you dare to hurt him, you’re courting death! You don’t have the right to hurt a royal family member.”
Her stern scolding was useless as Lu Yu stabbed forward with his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. The sharp blade pierced through the youth’s body immediately.
“You… You’re courting death!”
The young man’s corpse in Lu Yu’s hand bled out, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Isabel glared angrily at Lu Yu, and the rest of the royal family members were furious. Lu Yu’s actions completely disregarded them!
At that moment, Lu Yu threw the corpse aside and said, “I’ll play with you guys slowly!”
He unsheathed his two Undead Dragon Claws. He planned to turn these people into his undead puppets!
