Chapter 149 – Don’t Keep Me Guessing (2/2)

“Mr. Lei Yu, I am Lucas from the Kameno family. You can directly call me by my name.”

Lei Yu nodded with a lukewarm expression, making Lucas once again feel slightly awkward. The arrogant Marquis from last night then opened his mouth and said: “Don’t fail to appreciate our kindness!” ¹

Lei Yu slightly frowned. “Is this how you teach your men?”

“I’m sorry Mr. Lei Yu. My men are inexperienced, so I hope you won’t mind their manners.” Lucas smiled.

Lei Yu sneered. “I don’t mind… but while you, a Lord is speaking and your men dares to interrupt you, that means your status means nothing much to them. Why don’t you have someone with more weight come talk to me? If you want my cooperation, you should at least bring out some sincerity. Otherwise, there’s no use for us to continue!”

After leaving these words, Lei Yu got up from the stool and was about to leave. Lucas did not have enough time to respond when the young Marquis directly placed his hand on Lei Yu’s shoulder. “Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?”

Lei Yu narrowed his eyes, “Get your hands off me!”

“I don’t feel like it, what are you going to do about it?” The young Marquis arrogantly replied, wholly believing how noble and powerful his Kameno family was.

Lei Yu shook his head, “Then I apologize in advance for doing this.”

Quickly circulating his internal energy to his shoulder area, and a powerful and irresistible suction force firmly adhered the young Marquis’s hand to Lei Yu. Shortly after that, the horrifying power of lightning then crazily struck out at him.

The Marquis didn’t even have the strength to cry out and could only feel his body become weak before falling over onto the ground twitching. The Vampires around were all stunned beyond belief. They’d heard from their upper ranks that Lei Yu was a formidable character, but they never thought that without even moving a hand, he was able to easily render a Marquis incapable of retaliating. What kind of strength was needed to accomplish this? A Prince rank?

At this point, Lucas realized that he really did not carry enough weight to deal with this matter, but there was one thing he couldn’t figure out; how did Lei Yu know he was here to gain his cooperation? Ignoring his underling that was still twitching on the ground, he politely stood up. “Mr. Lei Yu, how did you know that we were looking to cooperate with you?”

“Do I even need to answer that? Since you know my name, that means you’ve investigated my background. Would it be possible that you didn’t know about the affairs between Hasegawa and myself? I know that even though it wasn’t your clansmen that killed him, you guys and the Werewolves are on the same side. Your group killed Hasegawa and are so polite towards me, then isn’t it for the sake of my assistance?”

Lucas clapped and said: “Mr. Lei Yu is truly formidable to be able to deduce everything. You have my admiration!”

“As I’ve said before, show some sincerity or else there’s nothing further for us to talk about!” Lei Yu was about to leave when Lucas’s next words stopped him in his tracks.

“Mr. Lei Yu, I’m pretty sure you would like to know what hidden identity the Burlinder family possesses right?”

Lei Yu suddenly turned around, “You know the truth?”

“Of course I know!” Seeing that Lei Yu was interested, Lucas once again sat back down.

“Don’t you guys want me to stay? So don’t keep me guessing! I can get rid of you five with the slightest of effort, so you aren’t qualified to put up such a face in front of me!” Lei Yu coldly said.
