Ch 88 – He Has His Way

Watching Lei Yu’s each step putting him closer to the door, Lei Yun Tian’s heart had sunk to the bottom of the abyss. Suddenly, Lei Yu turned around and said: “Father!”

“You… you… what did you call me?!” Lei Yun Tian could not believe what he just heard as he asked again with wide eyes.

Lei Yu smiled, “I called you father, which is a hard fact.” Pausing for a bit, Lei Yu continued by saying: “I will investigate the clues you gave me. If I can find my mother and avenge my grandfather, then I will definitely return to the Lei family.”

Lei Yun Tian excitedly ran up to Lei Yu and grabbed his son’s shoulder. Originally, kicking Lei Yu out of the family was not his idea. As a father, it was still his own son. But due to facing the clan’s pressure and the complaints from them, he was unwillingly forced to take action. When he realized his own son possessed the rare family brand that only appeared once every several thousands of years, Lei Yun Tian was possibly the happiest person out of everyone.

“Little Yu, even though I can’t tell you everything about this situation but don’t worry, I will do my best to help you in the shadows.”

“Don’t!” Lei Yu shook his head, “this is something I want to take care of on my own. I want to find out the truth myself; I want to rely on my own ability to avenge grandfather.” Lei Yu’s eyes were filled with determination.

Lei Yun Tian nodded, “you’ve grown up, and you’ve really matured.”

“There’s one thing I want you to do though, that’s let Cui Ying Ying and I handle things in the Kou country ourselves; you should return to Tenglong country.”

“I can’t do that. That day, Hasegawa from the Yamaguchi-gumi is a master on the Sixth Order rank, there’s no way you are a match for him. It’s too worrisome to let you stay here alone!” Lei Yun Tian immediately refused.

Lei Yu actually wanted to say: Did you ever care about my life and death before? But he wanted to let Lei Yun Tian save some face and instead, lightly said: “With the Lei family clan as a deterrent, he’ll probably won’t dare to do anything to me so don’t worry. If I encounter any problems, I will immediately contact you; is that good enough for you? Moreover, keeping the higher-ups of the Lei family tied up here isn’t too good since there are many business decisions in Tenglong country that require your attention.”

Thinking about it and realizing what Lei Yu said made sense, Lei Yun Tian could only nod in agreement.

Nami had been standing outside the car next to the villa waiting anxiously for Lei Yu the entire time. The reason being she had received a phone call saying a situation had appeared at Cui Ying Ying’s location. The specifics of the problem weren’t mentioned, but hearing Cui Ying Ying’s tone of voice, she did sound quite anxious.

Upon seeing Lei Yu’s return, Nami shouted: “Young master, hurry, the phone!” While she cried out, she was also dialing some numbers on the phone, and the numbers displayed were for Cui Ying Ying.

Getting into the car, Lei Yu took the phone. Nami quickly started the car and drove in the direction towards Cui Ying Ying’s location.

Lei Yu was relieved after seeing Cui Ying Ying in person. As long as the person was fine, any other problem can be solved. He quickly asked what happened and Mr. Yamamoto happened to be here as well. They explained the whole situation while looking in an easterly direction.

Unknown who had been pulling the strings behind the scene, but the relationships they have already built with government officials were intervened by their superiors, resulting in the entire project being shut down. Each and every day the work is stopped, the losses added up were completely unimaginable.

Such a large surface area of the sea, a full ten thousand square kilometers (3861 square miles); wanting to build a city on top of it, they had to build it like they were building a bridge. Solid and load-bearing steel columns were entrenched into the seabed. They chose to use two thousand plus kilogram steel columns that were twelve meters in diameter with poured concrete in the center. Those two thousand plus kilogram steel columns had already been made prior to the groundbreaking ceremony, but now that they were being obstructed by government officials, the financial loss due to this was not small.

Currently on scene were several government officials that had agreed to terms privately and publicly. And based on what they’ve said, it seems that someone in the dark had intervened, their powers were not small so the officials had to give them face and reluctantly interfere with this project.

Such a large project had even caused a stir around the world, but facing such a situation just as they were about to start work on it was indeed quite annoying. These higher-up officials most likely did not care about how much bribe they were accepting because of this, they were probably afraid to go against this powerful force, the Yamaguchi-gumi.

“I will take care of this situation as soon as possible; you guys carry on with your duties. Just be prepared to start work, I will inform you guys very shortly.” Said Lei Yu in a categorical manner.

Yamaguchi-gumi’s purpose was very clear, they didn’t want Lei Yu’s group to start working. During the start of a project, financial liquidity was very important. Now that government officials were obstructing it, it meant selling the future properties would also be delayed, resulting in the inability to cycle their financial resource.

The officials of the Kou government gave a simple reason: Because the project was too large, the risks too big, so the sale of future properties was not approved.

Those officials that had previously committed to Lei Yu were all in a bind. Even though they were directly in charge of the issues at hand, they could not defy the words of a superior official. In a helpless state, they could only stay close to Lei Yu and discuss the arrangements.

Lei Yu left the conference room and took out his phone as he stood in the hallway.

“Black Panther, there’s something I need you to help with.”

“Young master, just tell me what orders you have for me, there’s no need for you to ask for my help!”

“Immediately come to the Sky Towers, building A; I will be waiting for you on the rooftop.” Hanging up the phone, Lei Yu took the elevator to the top floor, walked around some debris before going up to the rooftop.

Black Panther was really efficient, once he ended the call with Lei Yu, he immediately notified his fellow brothers to get ready. He then got into a car alone and quickly rushed to Lei Yu’s designated location.

If we were to talk about the relationship between Lei Yu and Black Panther, it would be that one of them was completely impressed with the other. One aspect was Lei Yu’s strength; Lei Yu’s lightning ability caused Black Panther deep psychological fear. Another aspect was Lei Yu’s personality, if he considered you a close friend or one of his own, he would abandon all past discretions and treat you like a brother. For an expert level fighter like Lei Yu who would not be disgusted with the weird smell he gave off, what complaints would he have? He was now completely loyal to Lei Yu.
