Chapter 53: Mavis (2/2)

The audience was shocked by the huge discrepancy between the two. This second attack made it obvious not only to the onlookers, but now even Yan Gang could see the difference in strength. He climbed back out of the crater and looked at the girl above in shock, “Who are you?”

She lifted her chin, “Lulu Mavis.”

Upon hearing this name, Yan Gang, Gerlaine, Jeraldine, and the rest of the trainees were shocked. Yan Gang asked once more, “Mavis? That Mavis?”

She smiled, “Is there another in the universe?”

Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue and the other earthlings were puzzled, Mavis? What did that mean?

Yan Gang immediately extinguished the flames around his body and looked up with a serious expression, his voice now filled with respect, “Is this your territory?”

Lulu didn’t answer, simply crooking her finger instead, “Let’s continue; I want to try the power of the White Flash.”

Yan Gang smiled bitterly, “I didn’t come here to fight. Qingyu has captured Huo Xiaoling, the heir of the Huo Family. He said that he will only release her if the object he left in the city is returned to him.”

The girl frowned, “What does that have to do with me? Now are you going to continue or no?”

Yan Gang stood there calmly, with no intention of fighting. His demeanor had changed completely from the moment he’d arrived, and Lulu also lost interest and returned to the city after a twitch of her mouth. He watched her leave before finally rising back into the sky, calling out icily, “Did no one hear what I just said? Who’s in charge here? Send them out to speak with me.”

Zhou Shan immediately headed to look for Lu Yin within the city. The stone belonged to China and thus should have been controlled by Zhang Dingtian, but Lu Yin was the one who’d obviously gained something from it. The Bladesage couldn’t make a decision about this by himself; although some were reluctant to acknowledge it, Lu Yin was now the actual ruler in Beijing.

“Jeraldine, what is Mavis?” Bai Xue suddenly asked.

Jeraldine and Gerlaine looked at each other before the former answered, “The universe is unfathomably vast and holds countless empires and powerful organizations. These great powers each have their own methods of transactions and currency laws, but the Mavis Bank issues the only universally recognized currency. They have branches everywhere in the universe where one can exchange credits; they’re a financial powerhouse.”

No further words were needed; the mere phrase “only universally recognized currency” was sufficient to show people what the Mavis name was worth. Earth was insignificant in the face of the greater universe, but this family owned a bank capable of issuing the only universal currency. That required terrifying power; it was no wonder Yan Gang changed his attitude so drastically. If that girl in green really was from there, her influence completely overshadowed that of Huo Xiaoling, Raas, Jenny, and the rest combined.

Within the city, Lu Yin was still laying on the ground with his eyes closed. His brows were tightly knitted, both fists tightly clenched, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. He was dreaming of a snow-white finger that crushed the void, travelling across time to arrive before him. It stretched past countless stars, approaching closer and closer… “HOW AUDACIOUS!”

He sprang up within his residence, panting for breath after the roar. Eyes glazed over without focus, taking a while to regain some sense of normalcy. He was vigorously shaking his head in confusion when Zhou Shan arrived, “Lu Yin! What happened?”

Lu Yin got up from the ground, looking exhausted and beaten, “It’s nothing, why are you here?”

Zhou Shan was unconvinced and carefully looked over Lu Yin, who looked like something the cat had dragged in, “You sure you’re alright?”

Lu Yin shook his head, “I’m fine.”

“Someone named Yan Gang is here and claims to be representing Qingyu. He wants to take away that stone.”

Lu Yin’s face changed and he nodded, “Alright, let’s go meet him.”

Zhou Shan grunted, “Do you want to change first?”

“I’ll change when I return,” Lu Yin replied and flew out.
