Chapter 156 – Descent Of A Heavenly Treasure

Creating the illusion that the Dark Council murdered Lei Yu! If things really happened according to Lei Yu’s words, the two powerhouses of Tenglong country would both go to the United States and spare no effort in crushing the Dark Council. When the snipe and the clam grapple, wouldn’t the fisherman be the one to reap the benefits?

Lei Yu didn’t want to stay in the Vatican headquarters for too long, so he immediately returned to New York.

The distribution of power between the Dark Council and the Vatican were very interesting to observe. As long as one of the forces appeared in a city, the other party would also appear. This was to balance out each other’s power and neither of them were willing to compromise.

After Lei Yu returned to the U.S., a year had now passed by. Nothing troubling occurred during the year, giving Lei Yu lots of peace and quiet. Everything went according to plan and Lei Yu’s funds currently reached a staggering $2 billion U.S. dollars. But Lei Yu didn’t really care about this monetary number, what he was excited and happy about was gaining talents over the past year.

In addition to Black Panther and Gray Bear, Lei Yu now had eight underlings with the strength of a Fifth Order Warrior, twenty Fourth Order Warriors, over a hundred Third Order Warriors, and numerous underlings below that. Exactly as they said before: As long as you had the money, recruiting talents would not be a problem.

Among them were some that were completely loyal to Lei Yu, but the majority of them followed Lei Yu because he was strong. He was someone that could possibly lead them towards newer heights and at least wasn’t a weakling that could be taken down in one night.

Lei Yu could now be described as rich and powerful, enough that the government didn’t dare to intervene in his affairs. But it was mainly Black Panther and Gray Bear that had given them a gift in the beginning that shocked them too much.

This past year, Lei Yu also had some minor improvement in his strength. For someone at the same level as him, having a bit of improvement was already something not easy to accomplish – Lei Yu was now at the mid-stage of the [Detachment] level. As for the Thirty-Six Lunar Stars technique, he had mastered five of the stars and was missing only one before he could release his first combination attack. This attack would probably be something so powerful that no one could handle, therefore Lei Yu felt highly confident in himself. Of course one couldn’t feel too pleased about themselves since Lei Yu had also experienced sadness after great pleasures.

Sitting in front of a bedroom window of his newly bought villa, Lei Yu was gently stroking the half-piece of jade pendant that had accompanied him for these few years. Based on his current strength, he should be qualified to get revenge for his grandfather now right? Lei Yu also really wanted to see his mother, but where could she be?

While letting out a long sigh, Ai Er came in at this time wearing a long white dress. This past year, Ai Er also changed a lot – from a cute girl to a charming young woman that looked reserved and quiet. The two didn’t say anything while Ai Er just nestled herself against Lei Yu’s chest. An indescribably warm atmosphere spread through the bedroom as neither of the two wanted to leave the other’s embrace.

At this moment, a golden light was seen rapidly flying through the air off into a distance. Out the window, Lei Yu was sure the light wasn’t anything like an airplane or a bird. This golden light somehow gave Lei Yu a very familiar feeling.

“Ai Er, I’m going to head out and take a look, you stay at home and wait for me.” Ai Er nodded. Lei Yu directly opened the window and jumped out from the third floor before driving off in his car to catch up with the light. At the same time, several organizations were making their own moves.

Near a swampy land, Lei Yu used nearly a full day to catch up with that light. He clearly saw the golden light had disappeared somewhere into the swamp. Lei Yu got out of his car and started walking on foot through the swamp.

He wasn’t the only one that had detected the golden light. When the golden light first appeared, the people of the Vatican had already contacted the Pope who was far away in Greece. The Dark Council was also getting ready themselves, hoping it was some descent of heavenly treasures. Something like this had happened in a few hundred years ago and the person who gained this was none other than the Vatican’s Pope. The Dark Council wasn’t willing to be outdone, so of course, they had to find out the origin of this light.

The golden light had landed in the center of the swamp, a place where ordinary people couldn’t easily access. Lei Yu relied on the superior control he had over his body to easily enter the swamps.
