Chapter 317: The Late-Night Conversation Between Lucy and Her Sister

Lucas asked, “Can you tell me about Lugh?”

Lucy answered simply, “It shouldn’t be too much of a problem to surpass General Paul.”

Lucas knew very well that his daughter was still cautious and shrewd.

If she said that Lugh could surpass General Paul, then this matter was very likely to happen.

“Then you should do your best to help him.”

“Okay.”

Back in her room, Lucy found her brother and sister in her room.

Percy was in her pajamas, lying on her bed, while her brother was sitting by the bed.

“Sister.”

“Sister.”

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Evan asked, “Sister, I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“What did that Lugh do to you? Did he bully you?”

Lucy pinched his face and asked, “So what if he did?”

Evan straightened his neck and said, “When I awaken my Beast Master talent, I’ll help you beat him up.”

Lucy was amused by her silly little brother.

“My silly little brother.” Percy rolled on the bed laughing. “How can you be a match for Lugh? He doesn’t even need to do it himself when he’s dealing with you.”

“Second Sister, don’t look down on me.”

“Okay, okay, okay. If you can defeat Lugh, go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams.” Percy immediately chased her brother out of the bedroom door.

“Then why aren’t you leaving yet?”

“I want to sleep with my sister.”

“Okay.”

After Lucy took a shower, Percy was already nestled in her bed.

Lucy turned off the blanket and lay down.

“Sister.”

“Yes.”

“Do you like Lugh?”

“He’s too young.”

“Is there anyone he likes?”

Lucy turned her head and stared at her sister.

In the dark, Percy was also looking at her sister, waiting for her answer.

Percy was only fifteen years old, almost the same age as Lugh.

Although she was not as beautiful as Lucy, she was still a beautiful girl.

She was at the age of flowers.

“No.”

“Then do you think I...”

“Have no chance.”

“Why?” Percy sat up straight from the bed. “Am I not beautiful enough? Many boys in our school have a crush on me.”

“But is Lugh a boy in your school?”

Percy leaned on Lucy’s body and said in a muffled voice, “No.”

Lucy touched her long hair and said in a low voice, “I have observed Major Lugh. Although he is only seventeen years old, his mind is very mature. Ordinary girls are simply not his eyes.”

“I am also very outstanding,” Percy said stubbornly, “I am the first in my class and the second in my age.”

“But you are not the first. Even if there is a gap between the first and the second, there is still a huge gap. For example, Major Lugh and I... We used to be known as the number one genius in the Southwest, but compared to him, I cannot compare at all.”

“I’ve already worked very hard.” Percy choked with sobs.

“I know.”

Lucy obviously knew how hard Percy worked.

Staying up until two o’clock in the morning was a common thing.

“I heard Mom talking about my marriage,” Percy said in a low voice. “Dad probably wants me to marry someone, but now I don’t even know what they’re thinking about. In the past six months, when you’re not around, I often can’t sleep...”

“Don’t worry. I’ll ask Dad directly and help you keep an eye on this. I won’t let you suffer. Don’t worry. With our family’s strength, we’ll definitely be able to help you pick the best.”

Percy still hadn’t given up. “As for Lugh... Can you help me find out? If I can marry Lugh, Dad and Mom will definitely agree.”

“Do you believe that the girls who want to hand themselves over to Lugh can circle the Southwest Region three times? I reckon that the upper echelons of the Southwest Military who have daughters have already set their eyes on Lugh,” Lucy said rationally. “Also, you have a fatal flaw. Don’t try to take this idea.”

After a long while, Percy sobbed. “Fatal flaw? Does that mean I’m not a Beast Master yet?”

“Mhm.”

“But it’s not my fault that I didn’t awaken my Beast Master talent.”

If both parents were Beast Masters, then the probability of their children awakening their Beast Master talent was several times higher than that of ordinary people.

Usually, Beast Masters with ability would give priority to marrying women who had awakened their summoner talent.

It sounded a little cruel, but that was the reality.

Who wouldn’t want their children to directly win at the starting line?

“Mhm.” Lucy hugged her sister tightly in her arms. “It’s not your fault.”

“Then, what if I make a small one for Lugh?”

Lucy’s hand froze.

Monogamy was the mainstream.

However, due to the raging beasts, too many men had died in battle over the past three hundred years.

This resulted in a situation where there were fewer men and more women recognized by the two gangs in the entire Illumination Empire.

In addition to the Beast Masters’ status, their income was extremely high. Some Beast Masters began to marry a few concubines.

The Fierce Beasts wreaked havoc, cutting off traffic and increasing the autonomy of the Guardians.

The Guardians all opened one eye and closed the other to this phenomenon.

After all, the cities they wanted to protect needed the strength of Beast Masters.

Within a hundred years, some Guardians even directly issued decrees, allowing Beast Masters to have a few more wives.

In response to this, the various military departments also opened one eye and closed the other.

Apart from coveting Beast Masters’ preferential treatment, it was also because even if Beast Masters were to marry commoners, their descendants would have a higher chance of awakening their Beast Master talents.

This would allow the human world to obtain more Beast Masters.

This was a very practical problem.

However, a family with a bit of status wasn’t willing to let their daughter become a concubine.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Lucy said. “It’s still too early to consider these things.”

While Lugh was on vacation at home, the upper echelons of the Southwest Military gathered together again.

After discussing a few topics, Bania brought up the matter of Lugh returning to Skylight City.

“In just half a year, Lugh led a team to sweep through the forty-one strongholds of the Beast God Cult that were secretly established in the north of our Southwest. They killed 1,153 of the main members of the Beast God Cult, including thirteen Platinum-tier Beast Masters and a Star Glory-tier Beast Master. They almost completely wiped out the Beast God Cult’s invading forces and stabilized the situation in the north.”

After hearing Bania’s story, the upper echelons of the Southwest Military became serious.

Of course, they knew how difficult Lugh’s mission was.

It was mainly how the men had discovered the forty-one strongholds of the Beast God Cult.

One had to know that these forty-one strongholds were well hidden. The local Guardians had not noticed them or could not find them.

However, Lugh relied on his own personal ability to dig out all of the Beast God Cult.

He only spent half a year’s time for every city. On average, he only used one day on each city.

Just one day.

Most of the time was spent on the road.

Such terrifying investigative strength left the upper echelons of the Southwest Military flabbergasted.

They had sent Lugh to lead the team because Bania had suggested it. It was because Lugh was good at tracking.

They had originally thought that Lugh would most likely not be able to complete such a difficult task.

There was also a high possibility of failure.

Because even if they personally led the team, there was a high probability of failure.

However, as long as they could suppress the main Beast God Cult and suppress the development of the Beast God Cult, it would be considered not bad.

In the end, in just half a year’s time, Lugh had uprooted the Beast God Cult.

This was definitely the biggest surprise for the Southwest Military this year.

The Beast God Cult was really too disgusting.

The Western Military was already in a terrible state because of the Beast God Cult.

Paul asked, “How are the casualties?”

“The Special Operations Team lost seven members in half a year’s time. Three of them were seriously injured and disabled.”

Seven members died in the process of destroying the Beast God Cult. They were all unlucky.

Lugh was already doing his best to ensure the safety of the members of the Emergency Response Team, but he was not a nanny after all.

When it was time to use them, they still had to be used.

Hearing this casualty figure, the upper echelons of the Southwest Military could not help but be moved.

One of the upper echelons asked, “Commander Bania, are you not joking? Did they really only lose seven members in battle?”
