Chapter 984 Arriving at the Orlando family
The guard that Lu Yu had grabbed was struggling crazily, forcing out two sentences from his mouth.
“Are you crazy? You’re attacking the Orlando family. Do you know what it means to attack the Orlando family in Central Court City?”
Lu Yu let go and put him down.
He sat down on the ground and panted heavily. He turned to look at the corpse beside him and was so frightened that his entire body trembled.
“You… You killed my friend. You’re finished. You won’t be able to escape Central Court City!”
He looked up at Lu Yu in disbelief, looking at a lunatic who dared to attack the Orlando family!
“Is that so? Then tell me, what will happen to me?”
“First of all, before we catch you, the entire city will be under martial law!”
“Then, the Orlando family’s army will be mobilized until the murderer is caught!”
“Do you understand? Tens of thousands of people will flood into the streets just to catch you. Moreover, all of them are cultivators. You can’t escape, even if you have wings. You will definitely die!”
Lu Yu smiled nonchalantly. “But now, I’ve already killed one of your family members. There’s no turning back.”
“How about I bring you along?”
Hearing this, the guard was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He hurriedly scooted backward and looked at Lu Yu with a terrified expression; his lips were trembling.
“You can still make it if you leave now. If I don’t shout, the people inside won’t notice for a while.”
He gulped and said nervously.
However, at this moment, the iron gates creaked and were pushed open.
Seeing this, the guard was shocked, as it meant the people inside had discovered what had happened!
At this moment, the iron gates opened, and a figure in pajamas walked out.
The person in front of him was a silver-haired old man. He was wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses as he sized up Lu Yu thoughtfully.
“Young man, you killed one of my guards. Are you going to make an enemy out of our family?”
He asked coldly.
“That’s right. Who are you?” Lu Yu looked at him and replied frankly.
“I am the patriarch of the Orlando family, Ben Orlando.”
“Everyone calls me Lord Ben; you can just call me Ben.”
The guard quickly got up from the ground and stood behind Ben.
“Master, this guy is crazy. He actually dared to attack our house. We definitely can’t let him off. This guy simply doesn’t put us in his eyes.”
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Lu Yu appeared behind the guard. He raised his claw and split the guard’s head open.
“Finally, someone’s in charge to talk to. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you just yet.”
Swoosh!
After Lu Yu finished speaking behind Ben, he instantly returned to his front.
Ben’s expression became tense and ugly. He had been treading on thin ice all his life and through many precarious situations.
However, the pressure and sense of danger that this person gave him were greater than any crisis he had experienced in the past.
“Did you destroy the Dolan family?” he asked Lu Yu cautiously.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “That’s right, it’s my doing. Whether the Orlando family will become the next one depends on you.”
Ben took a deep breath. “Then, you didn’t bring these beauties here for a party. You’re here for Elena, right?”
Lu Yu stared at Ben and answered, “That’s right. I’m here for her. Where is she?”
“How about this? Come in with me first. We’ll talk slowly.”
He smiled humbly and raised his hand to signal Lu Yu to come in.
Lu Yu was weirded out. This guy did not lose his temper, even when he came knocking on his door and even killed two of his guards.
However, that’s probably because he did not dare to. After all, he was an old man and did not have much combat strength.
Ben led Lu Yu to the living room of the villa, which was decorated in a simple and unadorned manner.
Mahogany furniture was everywhere, and dazzling gold, silver, and jewelry were rarely seen. It looked like an ordinary middle-class home.
“This is the best coffee in North Court City. Try it.”
Lu Yu picked up the cup and downed it.
However, when Helen and Shirley wanted to pick up their cups, Lu Yu stopped them.
Their bodies could not withstand any poison.
Now that Lu Yu had mastered the Poison Dragon Claw, his body’s constitution was greatly different. Ordinary poison would not affect him.
“I don’t think you know much about Elena.” Ben sighed and said slowly, “You’re Lu Yu, right?”
“It seems that you know about me and why I’m here, right?”
Ben nodded helplessly. The notice sent by the higher-ups clearly stated that once they saw Lu Yu, they had to find a way to kill him or report the news.
Ben knew that someone who could make the entire Ember Empire pay so much attention to him was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, he did not think he was a match for Lu Yu.
“When Elena was born, she was detected by the wizards as someone who would awaken a spirit body in the future.”
“So, under the protection of the Dolan family, she grew up.”
“However, throughout her entire growth, she never left her villa, and she never left her courtyard.
“She’s just a little bird that’s been imprisoned. She’ll never fly in this world.”
“The family’s expectations of her are too cautious, and even her personality has distorted. She’s completely cold and untalkative, like an autistic child.”
Ben looked at Lu Yu and said, “She has no future in the Dolan family. Once she awakens, she will be used as a killing tool by her family. She will kill until the Dolan family becomes the number one family.”
“The Lord knows this, so he promised that as long as the Dolan family hands over Elena, he will support them to become the number one family. They won’t need to kill anyone.”
“So, do you understand now?” Ben said earnestly. “The Demon Blood Lord is doing this for Elena’s sake. Even though she has less freedom now that she’s in the army, it’s much better than staying with the Dolan family!”
“If Elena weighed the pros and cons, she would also choose to leave the family and go to the Lord. That would be a broader stage for her.”
“I’ve said so much. You should understand now, right? This isn’t a bad thing for Elena. We didn’t do anything to her. She’s the treasure in the Lord’s eyes, and no one dares to touch her.”
Lu Yu laughed disdainfully when he heard the whole story.
“Are you kidding me? You’re not hinting that it was the Demon Blood Lord who saved her from the darkness, are you?”
Ben was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded. “Yes, that’s what I meant.”
“Bullshit! He obviously wants to use Elena’s blood essence to nourish himself and increase his strength. Are you actually claiming the Demon Blood Lord is a good person? I guess you are in cahoots with him, huh?”
