Chapter 935 Falling Out
He was precisely as Lu Yu described. When his strength suddenly soared without experiencing the tempering of one’s growth, his ego swelled and made him look down on those who had helped him.
Such a person naturally wouldn’t care about the family that had helped him and made him scoff at his childhood friends.
Lu Yu’s words pierced Bernie’s heart deeply.
The most significant difference between Lu Yu and him was that Lu Yu had experienced some hardships before he had the strength he has today.
Lu Yu did not reach his current level of strength so easily.
He had been seriously injured, bled, ambushed, and still fought head-on.
He had experienced all kinds of battles, leading to his current state and terrifying talent.
Therefore, he cherished the friends who had helped him along the way even more.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Are you mocking me? You mean to say that my strength was increased through improper means?”
“I’m just guessing. The smell of blood here is very strong. Is this a slaughterhouse?”
Lu Yu looked around but found nothing.
Bernie stared at Lu Yu and sniffed around.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not smell anything.
Bernie was freaked out. There was clearly no smell here, so how could Lu Yu smell it?
He had already cleaned it out perfectly. How could there be a flaw?
“Get out! Otherwise, I won’t be so benevolent!”
He glared at Lu Yu, ready to attack him at any moment.
Lu Yu was not afraid of Bernie’s threat and continued to wander around leisurely.
“The potion that you just sent to the guild… I think I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
After hearing this, Bernie’s face suddenly changed. He frowned and looked at Lu Yu in surprise.
“Where did you hear that from? Eidiculous. It’s probably something made up by someone out of boredom.”
He said it with a smile, trying to gloss this over.
However, Lu Yu looked straight at him.
“The potion I’m talking about looks very similar to the bottle of potion you had during the day.”
Bernie narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Yu. He knew he couldn’t hide anymore. The man before him had come prepared and knew everything.
“Hahaha, stop joking. Be careful, or I’ll sue you for spreading rumors.”
Bernie took two steps back and leaned against the door. He suddenly took out a potion bottle from his robe and smashed it on the ground before him.
“Go to hell!”
He roared and turned around, rushing up the stairs.
After the potion was smashed, a thick green gas filled the basement.
This gas was highly corrosive, and the surrounding wooden shelves quickly withered!
The gas also had a pungent smell. Not only did it have an extremely strong corrosive ability, but the poisonous gas was also quite dense.
However, with Lu Yu’s resistance, this bit of poisonous gas was nothing to him.
He passed through the gas, walked out of the wooden door, and began to walk up the stairs.
The dark green gas below him did not dissipate, but it was ineffective anyway.
When Lu Yu reached the top of the stairs, he saw that the basement’s lid was already closed.
Lu Yu took out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and stabbed it.
Swoosh!
The sharp blade of the sword pierced through the iron cover, and a strong impact rushed out, lifting the basement cover.
The next moment, Lu Yu walked out of the basement.
Bernie retreated warily, and his eyes nervously darted around Lu Yu.
“Bastard, was my poison useless against you? It looks like you have something up your sleeve.”
He snorted coldly. “Having some resistance is nothing special. I’ll let you see how powerful a Rank 5 Mage is!”
“Hahaha, get blind!”
Bang!
The bottle exploded upon smashing on the ground, and a cloud of white smoke spread everywhere. This cloud of smoke made Lu Yu’s eyes sting a little, but he quickly got used to it.
Lu Yu swept his sword horizontally and blew away the surrounding fog.
“You’re courting death!”
Bernie took out a skeleton staff and aimed it at Lu Yu, ready to attack.
“You… If you dare to take a step forward, you’ll be hunted down. The Mage Guild won’t let you off.”
He shouted crazily, warning Lu Yu that he should leave.
However, Lu Yu was not afraid and continued walking toward him.
Bernie could tell that Lu Yu was strong. If they fought, he would be the one losing.
Even if he were confident in his own strength, he knew he would have to bear a heavy price even if he won.
Therefore, he wanted to persuade Lu Yu not to fight to the very end.
When the time came, he’d report what had happened here to the guild, and someone would be dispatched to deal with this guy.
Therefore, he concluded that he did not need to fight Lu Yu. He could let the guild handle this matter.
After all, this matter was of the utmost importance to the entire guild.
This concerned the biggest secret of their guild, so they naturally couldn’t let such an important thing leak out.
Bernie looked at Lu Yu and continued to dissuade him, “Do you really want to fight me? You go back now and leave this place with Shirley tomorrow morning. I’ll pretend you never came, and we’ll each mind our own business!”
He was betting that Lu Yu would leave after he said that.
No one was willing to do something that would result in a lose-lose situation. If they fought here, Lu Yu would quickly get into trouble and be at risk of being injured.
So, there’s no need to fight unless he has no choice.
However, Lu Yu shook his head slightly. “I’m sorry. I won’t leave until I deal with you.”
He gripped his sword and approached Bernie.
Bernie knew that he couldn’t dissuade Lu Yu anymore. He had to fight to the end!
He looked at Lu Yu and spat. “Since you want to fight, I’ll play along. I’ll let you know that you’ve made the wrong decision!”
He raised the skeleton staff in his hand.
“Die! I will represent the Mage Guild in destroying your existence!”
