Chapter 511: Robber and Murderer, Lu Xiaoshu

Lu Shu put his feet up on the table. He stared blankly in the direction of the warehouse.

He once had great aspirations to maintain his image and identity until the best opportunity to settle his affairs. Yet no one could understand his suffering on the inside.

That was several hundred thousand magical stones! Lu Shu felt that if he could successfully sweep up all those magical stones, what an amazing feat he would have achieved!

After all, the Heavenly Network only produced less than 200,000 magical stones annually. If Lu Shu could take all these magical stones, it would be a severe blow to the Collection of Gods’ face. Lu Shu felt that he had finally found a reason for himself!

If he did not make a move on all these magical stones, he would not destroy his image as Yamada Akira, but he would destroy his image as Lu Shu!

Lu Shu felt that happiness was still the most important thing to people.

Lu Shu pondered over it. They had four days of staggered holidays every month. He only needed to get approval from his superiors on these days. He could then go out of this fortress and to Nishinokyo with confidence.

There was a possibility that he would be arrested by the Collection of Gods once he reached Nishinokyo. He may not be able to leave the country by the normal routes. Even the retreat route prepared for him by the Heavenly Network may be impossible to use. Besides, the Collection of Gods would definitely put Nishinokyo on lockdown if that amount of magical stones went missing.

But... for this many magical stones, Lu Shu was willing to even swim back to his country!

Since he had made this decision, Lu Shu had better come up with a thorough plan. His eyes had regained their vigor...

Then Tomosaka brought the previous head of science to Lu Shu’s office. Lu Shu looked up at the two of them and asked languidly, “What’s wrong?”

The previous head of science sneered. “We are all colleagues here. Give me some face. Since you’ve collected my money, you have to complete the task for me.”

Lu Shu turned his head to look at him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Of course I’ll do it. Who said I wouldn’t do it? But do you think that it is so easy to talk to Lord Kuriyama? I need time! Besides, we work in three shifts. The manpower for the next two shifts has not been confirmed. I have to confirm the manpower for all three shifts before reporting to the superiors. Does this make sense? Does it make sense for me to disturb Lord Kuriyama again and again to report the change in manpower?”

The previous head of science was dumbfounded. He turned to see Tomosaka, whose expression was filled with some uncertainty. This was different from what you had said! Wasn’t his attitude quite good? And he made a lot of sense! Even he knew that it was difficult to get along with Kuriyama. One would certainly be scolded if they kept reporting to Kuriyama over and over again!

Tomosaka was dumbfounded for some time. “I apologise. I misunderstood you, Lord Yamada.”

“No problem,” Lu Shu said with a kind expression. “After I have confirmed the manpower for the next two shifts, I will go to Lord Kuriyama.”

Tomosaka left. Within two hours, another two people came with a box each. One of them smiled obsequiously. “Lord Yamada, I heard that Tomosaka said you were settling the manpower for the next two shifts. I am very conscientious in my work and very loyal to you! I can assure you that I will follow you wherever you go!”

Lu Shu uncovered the box and took a look. He gave a nod of satisfaction. “Okay, I got it. Go.”

After he finished speaking, Lu Shu saw that there was no one in the office. He took the opportunity to put the three boxes in the Seal of Lands. Since he had decided to run away, then he would do it one by one!

Lu Shu wanted to ask every one of the 120 Class E Practitioners whether they wanted to become a leader, but he was afraid that his actions would suddenly be exposed... If the price was high enough, Lu Shu was sure this head of science would be willing to do it!

Since Lu Shu had decided on his course of action, he was impatient to get back home!

Lu Shu walked out of his office and headed towards the lift of the underground base. Upon seeing this, Tomosaka and the rest were elated. This Yamada was really honest and trustworthy. They did not expect him to actually go and settle the problem after collecting the money!

When Lu Shu saw the three of them, he smiled and nodded at them. He then went straight to the underground base. He first went to the dorm and as expected, Kawayoshi was loafing on the job to train. He even held a magical stone in his hand, absorbing its power.

“Hm? Why are you here? Aren’t you on duty upstairs?” Kawayoshi had just gotten his and Lu Shu’s magical stones. He saw Lu Shu and was now slightly scared of being found out. Nonetheless, he immediately readjusted his composure and spoke with heavy emphasis: “If you are leaving your post without permission like that, I will have to report to Kuriyama...”

Ka!

Without waiting for Kawayoshi to finish speaking, Lu Shu hit Kawayoshi on the back of his neck. Kawayoshi’s eyes rolled back and he fainted...

Lu Shu squatted down and carefully observed Kawayoshi. Seeing that he had no reaction, Lu Shu then shook Kawayoshi awake.

Kawayoshi slowly regained his consciousness. He could not understand what had just happened even if he tried. Lu Shu sighed. “You won’t awaken this way either.”

Kawayoshi suddenly recalled that it was Lu Shu who had knocked him out. But Kawayoshi was slightly uncertain. How was it possible that he could not avoid Lu Shu’s blow, even though Lu Shu was much weaker than him?

Lu Shu was thinking of another problem. Earlier Chiba had undergone an awakening after Lu Shu had delivered a karate chop on her. Furthermore, she had awakened two consecutive times in the same day.

Lu Shu thought that he could actually help people awaken, but it seemed like that was not the case. Or was it because Chiba was too particular about Kirihara Yousuke?

What a pity. His income was big, but he had lost one of his plans.

To be honest, if Lu Shu could really help people awaken with just a blow, then he might as well be a craftsman. He possessed some craftsman skills!

Kawayoshi did not hesitate. As soon as he regained consciousness, he drew his katana and slashed it in Lu Shu’s direction. Needless to say, Kawayoshi’s other aspects made Lu Shu detest him. But his counterattack at this moment made Lu Shu view him in a more favourable light. His combat awareness was very high. Once he knew that the situation was no longer in his favour, he would not engage in any useless talk, instead, he would go for the attack!

But the sound of the katana slicing the air spontaneously came to a stop. The blade was caught between Lu Shu’s nails, unable to move further.

Kawayoshi knew that the situation was worsening. Even a Class C could not stop his attack so easily with just two fingers!

Kawayoshi was dumbfounded. He could not understand how someone he once took lightly had suddenly become so powerful.

“From Nagaya Kawayoshi’s distress, +999!”

Kawayoshi shouted, “Who in the world are you?!” He only realised after shouting, that the base was so well-built that no matter how loudly he shouted in the dorm, no one would be able to hear him!

Lu Shu laughed. “Don’t you recognise me?”

Kawayoshi forced himself to calm down. “You...”

“I am your father who does not share your blood,” Lu Shu laughed. He no longer hesitated. He aimed at Kawayoshi’s neck and it split with a clean sound!

“From Nagaya Kawayoshi’s distress, +999!”
