Ch 129 – Trapped In A Labyrinth
“Young master, this is merely an underground business. It’s not only the people of the underworld that conduct in underground businesses, even some government officials will participate in it from time to time.” Black Panther interjected.
Lei Yu couldn’t make up his mind at this point. Hu Jiong once again spoke up and Lei Yu agreed to his approach.
“Think about it young master, those that will be participating in the fights all have extraordinary strength. We could go through this route and attract a portion of these people to expand our own group, right?”
“Okay, it’s decided then!” Lei Yu slapped his thighs as he said this.
In regards on how to run this, then Black Panther and Gray Bear would be more familiar with it. Taking a large sum of cash allocated to them by Lei Yu, they quickly began working on the matter.
Now the next thing he had to do was keep his promise. That day he promised the old woman when things were calmed down, he would accompany her to Greece.
Since there weren’t particularly anything going on for now, and Lei Yu didn’t understand how to setup the fight matches, he gave Black Panther full authority to do whatever was needed. He then brought Ai Er back to the Burlinder family’s castle.
“My dear child, you’re back!” The old woman was clearly very happy at Lei Yu’s return. People will always respect others with integrity and Lei Yu was clearly was someone with strong moral principles.
As for the subject of going to Athens, Greece to retrieve a holy object, the old woman didn’t tell her son Hawes at all. It seems like Lei Yu was the only person aware of it. Even if he leaves Ai Er at this place while he leaves the U.S., Lei Yu’s heart will still not be at ease so they brought Ai Er along as if they were going on a vacation.
Without stopping for breaks, they left for the airport. Lei Yu and group left New York towards Athens, Greece – a city filled with many myths and legends¹.
According to the enlightenment the old woman received, they arrived at a mysterious location. It’s already been half a month by the time they’ve arrived here.
This place was surrounded by cliffs, and below the cliff was a rapid stream. Against a cliff wall was a huge rock around ten meters tall and with a diameter of about fifteen meters.
There were no signs of vegetation around here giving it a desolate feel and Lei Yu had felt uncomfortable ever since arriving at this location. Looking at Ai Er, she also had a frown and appears to not like the feel of this place either.
The old woman slowly walked towards the huge rock and waved her hands for Lei Yu to follow her over.
“Will there be a holy object inside?” Asked Lei Yu filled with doubt. He refuses to believe this huge rock itself was the holy object the old woman was talking about.
The old woman suddenly closed her eyes without answering Lei Yu. You can see her hands were trembling non-stop and Lei Yu didn’t know what was causing that.
A long time later, the old woman opened her eyes. “Almighty God! Please forgive my sinful deeds today!”
Lei Yu was extremely confused and didn’t know what the old woman was going on about.
“Child, I will have to trouble you to take the scrolls out.”
Lei Yu nodded and placed the two rings onto his palm. Activating his spiritual awareness, the two black scrolls with a mysterious aura appeared in Lei Yu’s hands. The instant these scrolls appeared, they could feel a slight tremor from the ground that only lasted a moment. Lei Yu was standing close to Ai Er and unconsciously put one of his arms around her waist and the other hand grabbing onto her hands.
The old woman excitedly unfurled the two scrolls, then moved backwards a few steps before standing still again. She then began reading the ancient Greek texts on the scrolls.
