Lu Yu did not think twice and said, “Bring me all the best dishes you have here.”
The service staff frowned and said, “Distinguished Guest, the best dishes in our restaurant can only be enjoyed after payment.”
Lu Yu immediately ordered the restaurant’s two most expensive dishes, priced at four million federal dollars. Lu Yu got a big shock, astonished at how the rich people splurge in the world of the wealthy.
These two dishes alone were enough to make a middle-class family lose their entire family fortune. If Lu Yu’s card did not have hundreds of millions of dollars inside his account, he wouldn’t have dared to order them.
“How boring. I’m tired of eating these two dishes.” Zheng Xiaochuan yawned. Obviously, he was a regular customer in these kinds of places. As the young master of the Zheng family, it was no surprise that he enjoyed the best and the most expensive things that money could buy.
Half an hour later, two piping hot dishes were served up, with matching exquisite food presentation and plating.
Lu Yu picked up a small piece with his chopsticks. After eating it, a brilliant light flashed across his eyes. These two dishes, which were actually made from the meat of S-class Fearsome Beasts, were not only incomparably delicious, but also contained extremely dense spirit and energy.
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the sinew meat of an S-class Fearsome Beast, the Black Demon Bull. Received: Strength +2300…]
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the wing of an S-class Fearsome Beast, the Golden Raptor. Received: Health Vitality +2350…]
A gush of pure energy surged into Lu Yu’s abdomen and was rapidly absorbed.
This was the first time Lu Yu encountered someone other than himself who could cook the meat of Fearsome Beasts into such delicious delicacies. Could it be that this Chu family possessed some kind of cooking method?
Lu Shan and Lu Shui also took a few bites of the meat of the Black Demon Bull and the Golden Raptor. They immediately began perspiring profusely, feeling that their bodies were too weak to accept such strong nourishment. A gush of over-exuberant energy was colliding madly within their bodies. They immediately put down their cutlery and tried to soothe this rush of energy.
“Mr. Jiang, please help yourself.” Lu Yu gestured invitingly to him.
After Jiang Jun took a few bites of the meat of the S-class Fearsome Beast, he felt like he was in a dream. A living S-class Fearsome Beast could easily kill him a few hundred times under normal circumstances, yet he was actually eating one right now.
That pure energy was quickly absorbed by Jiang Jun and transformed into strength and health vitality. Jiang Jun could feel the barriers to his cultivation levels loosen instantly and he was absolutely ecstatic.
After reaching the Great Martial Master level, Jiang Jun could clearly feel the limit of his talent. His cultivation speed had also slowed down a lot. At this rate, it would take at least five or six years for him to break through.
However, this meal of S-class Fearsome Beast meat had shortened the time tremendously!
“I’m full. I need to go to the washroom,” Zheng Xiaochuan said suddenly.
Lu Yu shot him a glance. Zheng Xiaochuan pouted and spoke up, “What’s wrong? All people experience bodily urges. Don’t tell me I can’t even go to the washroom?”
They were having a rare heartwarming reunion today so Lu Yu did not say much either. He continued to chat with his family, joking and laughing as Zheng Xiaochuan left the private room. After closing the door, he walked faster.
“Bye-bye to you.” Zheng Xiaochuan glanced back, intending to take this opportunity to slip away.
As the hostage of a kidnapper, his physical body was not really restricted. However, Zheng Xiaochuan could see clearly during this period that Lu Yu was not a level-headed master. Who knew what sort of trouble he would stir up again some day?
When all was said and done, going back to the Zheng family was still the most practical thing to do.
Zheng Xiaochuan arrived at the washroom and said to a big guy standing next to it, “Brother, please give way. I need the washroom urgently.”
Not long after the big guy went out, more than ten figures entered the washroom one after another. This group of more than ten people was led by a muscular man in a business suit. After checking to see that no one was in the washroom, the man in the business suit gave an eye signal and one of his minions hurriedly closed the door.
They seemed to be conspiring to do something. They conversed in whispers, and their voices gradually became louder.
“What’s the situation right now?”
“Brother Kui, that guy named Lu Yu just arrived at our restaurant’s private room 3301. He is dining right now.”
“Good! This guy thought that he could simply leave the Southern Seas Hotel safe and sound because he had someone protecting him. There are some things he shouldn’t take. It can cost him his life!”
The man in the business suit, also known as Brother Kui, gave a menacing laugh. A murderous air that was like freezing winter months spread out, sending chills down people’s spines.
Inside the toilet cubicle, Zheng Xiaochuan, who was using the S-class defense gear to hide his aura, was spooked by this murderous air and his body trembled slightly.
This man in the business suit seemed to be looking for Lu Yu with ill intent.
And judging from that aura, he was a Great Grand Master! When did this guy Lu Yu offend the Southern Seas Hotel?
“You find a way to keep him in the hotel as long as possible. I’m gathering men to surround this hotel.”
“I’m afraid it’s not good to create such a big ruckus, right? This is my Chu family’s territory after all.”
“Hahaha… Don’t you worry. The things we promised Chu Xiongfeng will definitely be delivered. In addition, we will add another ton of spiritual energy ore.”
The man in the business suit was talking to a hotel manager dressed in tuxedo suit. He was a member of the Chu family, and he was also a Great Master as well!
Zheng Xiaochuan, who was hiding in the shadows listening to the secret discussion between the two parties, was downright astonished. The owner of this hotel, Chu Xiongfeng, was actually in cahoots with the Southern Seas Hotel to get rid of Lu Yu secretly.
As was well-known, this hotel run by the Chu family had always been Imown for protecting its customers. It was the best hotel in the capital when it came to protecting guests’ privacy, but surprisingly, it was engaged in such activities.
Suddenly, the voices of the two talking parties became softer. The man in the business suit and the Chu family member in the tuxedo stopped talking almost at the same time. With a slight frown, they both looked in a certain direction.
Without moving, the Chu family member in a tuxedo gave an eye signal to a minion beside him but said with a loud laugh, “Hahaha… Then I shall wait here for your news of that one ton of spiritual energy ore.”
The man in the business suit laughed and scolded in jest, “Don’t worry. After the matter is settled, you guys will get a share of the goods as well.”
The door to the washroom opened. After more than ten minutes, Zheng
Xiaochuan cautiously walked out from inside. He scanned the surroundings and then after he had taken a few steps, he stopped in his tracks, gritted his teeth and said, “What does it have to do with me whether that guy lives or dies?”
One was the young master of the Zheng family in the capital. The other was the Advisor to the Gamma Military Zone. The two were destined not to have too many interactions. Furthermore, Lu Yu also offended so many people. It was a much wiser choice to keep his distance from this guy.
However… this guy Lu Yu was not really that bad in his opinion. After pondering in silence for a while, Zheng Xiaochuan spoke out loud, “Forget it. Consider this an act of kindness from me.”
With that, he turned towards room 3301. Just then, a big, rough hand suddenly clapped on his shoulder. Instantly, an oppressive sensation came crushing down like a great mountain. Zheng Xiaochuan’s body sank down instantly as if he was really carrying a mountain.
A man with a face full of beard stubble stood behind Zheng Xiaochuan and said conspiratorially, “Kid, you seem to know something you shouldn’t know. Looks like it’s the wisest decision to send you to meet the King of Hell..”
