Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Sending a Signal (2/2)

“Who the heck are you?”

Hai Kui felt like crying but had no tears; he simply didn’t know what to do.

Chen Yu clapped his hands and yawned.

“What I am doesn’t matter, what matters is you disturbed my sleep!”

With those words, he turned and went back to his own room.

The captain and the security chief breathed a sigh of relief, immediately ordering their subordinates to capture this bunch of troublemakers.

After an unknown period of time, the ship finally docked at the port of Jinmen.

Chen Yu didn’t linger there and even left without bidding farewell to Martin Nolan and his group.

After what happened at Mount Augustus, he feared he had become a thorn in the side of the Knights of the Round Table.

A complete fallout with the Childe Family was likely inevitable.

He walked along the dock for a while until he reached an underground parking garage, where, with practiced ease, he got into a car and sped off towards the capital.

At the Tong Family’s villa in the northern suburbs.

People from the two major business districts, the capital and the Magic Capital, had gathered here.

On the big screen was the information of all the families that were members of the Knights of the Round Table.

Tong Ming sat at the head place with a heavy heart.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “the Knights of the Round Table’s capital has already penetrated into our core assets. If we don’t act now, we might be completely devoured by them.”

The atmosphere among those present was somber, each with a stack of documents in front of them.

They had begun to feel the financial pressure a month ago.

The Childe Family had somehow obtained a large amount of capital support and was pressing them hard.

Had it not been for Tong Ming’s thorough preparation, their assets would have likely been swallowed up by now.

As everyone was discussing countermeasures, a person dressed like a Daoist priest suddenly burst into the office.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he announced, “by the command of our Heavenly Master, I’ve come to deliver something to you all!”

Before the others could react, the young priest tossed a pile of wooden tokens onto the table.

The people present stared at the young Daoist with odd looks, some thinking he was the type of swindler who peddled blessed trinkets.

Chu Jianghe seemed to realize something and hastily stood up.

“Are you from the Xuanqing Sect?”

The young monk nodded: “Our Heavenly Master has a deep friendship with Mr. Chen Yu, and his visit this time is in consideration of Mr. Chen Yu.”

The people gathered there widened their eyes in astonishment; no one had expected Chen Yu to wield such influence to be able to call upon someone from the Xuanqing Sect.

Not even the Childe Family, let alone the Knights of the Round Table as a whole, would be a concern for them anymore.

Just as everyone became excited, Chen Yu suddenly rushed in, flustered and frantic.

Tong Ming was about to greet him when the young Daoist priest stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yu’s arm.

“Mr. Chen, I’ve finally found you; our Heavenly Master requests your presence at Tianhu Mountain!”

Chen Yu looked puzzled: “Tianhu Mountain, what would I be doing in that place?”

The young priest didn’t bother with explanations, handing him one of the wooden tokens.

“Of course, there is a very important matter to entrust to Mr. Chen, as for the matters here, leave them to me.”

Chen Yu looked at the Xuanqing Sect token in his hand and seemed to understand.

Tong Ming also understood; right now, associating with the Xuanqing Sect was more important than anything else.

“Chen Yu, you should go with him,” he said, “don’t worry about the situation here.”
