Ch 130 – Divine Revelation
“It looks like we’ll need to split up. As long as we find the holy object, all the junctions will close off by itself leaving only the path to the exit. Then, we can easily leave this place.” Said the old woman.
“That sounds like a plan, but what does the holy object look like?” Asked Lei Yu.
“It’s a piece of memory, a revelation. To be precise, it’s a divine revelation.”
The old woman’s words made Lei Yu at a loss; it looks like she doesn’t know exactly what it was either. At least how Lei Yu understands the situation, as long as it’s not the walls or the torches, then it has to be the holy object.
The old woman separated with Lei Yu and Ai Er at the nearest junction; there’s no way Lei Yu will allow Ai Er to separate from him. With their ten fingers intertwined and grasping firmly to each other, they cautiously followed the path in front of them.

In another part of the country, just three days after Lei Yu left, Black Panther located the home of a New York government official. In the middle of the night, he and Gray Bear gave him a “visit” and discussed in detail about their “cooperation.”
Black Panther learned these tactics during the time when he was with the Yamaguchi-gumi. As long as the government officials didn’t interfere, then many things will be carried out in a smooth manner.
Things were progressing very well. With the temptation and coercion of money, this senior government official could only agree with Black Panther’s requests. And everything will be in accordance to proper paperwork and procedures.
In the meantime, Hu Jiong and Bianca bought a nightclub. The nightclub had two levels, and each level was about two thousand five hundred square meters (27,000 sqft). The cost was huge; they spent a full $30 million U.S. dollars on it.
There was no need to remodel the first level so it will maintain its original look. As for the second level, they knocked down everything except for the load-bearing walls so they could completely remodel it.
Once everyone completed their tasks, work commenced on the nightclub. Hu Jiong recruited five bounty hunters who also helped out. The nightclub was renamed to “RAY”, which had the similar sound of Lei.
The stairs in the corner leading to the second floor was slightly altered. The original staircase was sealed off and the private room at the end of the corridor had the ceiling opened up as the staircase. And in front of the new staircase was privacy barrier so that in the dimly lit room, you couldn’t really notice the stairs.
Everything else on the second floor was ready and just waiting for Lei Yu to return. As for the nightclub on the first floor, the business and its employees remained the same and functioned like before.

Inside the labyrinth by the cliff’s edge, no one could tell whether it was day or night. One could only look at the watch on their wrists to figure out the time.
“Brother Yu, I’m really tired. It’s been three days now, how come will still can’t find it? We can’t even find an exit so what should we do?” Ai Er and Lei Yu had been trying out different paths non-stop, but whichever way they went, they couldn’t get out of this bizarre labyrinth.
“We can’t give up; we have to keep looking until we find it.” Lei Yu looked at Ai Er with heart ache. “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have brought you here.”
“Don’t say things like that!” Ai Er forcefully shook her head and even tried to force a smile. “It doesn’t matter where we are, I’m content as long as I can be together with brother Yu!”
