Chapter 55: Deal With The Devil (1/2)

Within the huge spacecraft outside Earth, Sigmund and a few others were looking at the turtle on the screen anxiously.

“General Mathers, we can’t consider a beast that is beyond 10,000 combat level a part of the trial; let us capture it,” Torry Auna said nervously. Jenny was still in the capital; if the creature decided to attack, they would all die.

Sigmund clenched his fists and glanced at Mira, who smiled calmly, “Is death really that scary to the young elites of the Great Yu Empire?”

Torry’s face sank and he went quiet, looking back at the screen.

Fortunately, the huge turtle disappeared quickly before anyone in Beijing worked up the courage to utter a single word. That creature was truly terrifying; even its body alone could crush everyone here.

……

Lu Yin sighed, but then suddenly realized something was strange. Where is Lulu? He barely looked west in time to see a green silhouette disappearing into the distance; that crazy woman couldn’t have gone after the turtle, right?

Outside the capital, Yan Gang was coughing hard. He had choked on the dust from the turtle’s arrival, and was finally feeling better. While everyone was still immersed in the terror of the turtle’s appearance, he continued speaking, “Qingyu agreed to your condition.”

“Which gadget is his?” Lu Yin asked with a nod, contacting the man directly once it was pointed out, “Qingyu?”

In northern Europe, Qingyu looked at his gadget and smiled, “You’re the native who has caught dozens of students in the capital?”

“Your thing is with me; if you want to get it, hand me the students you’ve captured.”

“I talked about it with the other guy just now, I’m okay with that. Do you also want Huo Xiaoling?” Qingyu smirked.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, knowing that Xiaoling was the reason why Yan Gang was working for Qingyu. With Raas and Jenny already on hand, she wasn’t worth the fight that would cause, “No, but then you have too few students on hand right now.”

Qingyu’s eyes gleamed, “Kid, I’m dealing with you because I don’t want to come all the way there, do you think the few of you can stop me?”

“Of course not, you’re a Melder. But we can run just like you. I’ll just hide the stone until the mission fails, and then the Empire will send soldiers to capture you. Do you think you’d be able to defend yourself at that point? I know that you want a chance at escaping using that stone; compared to your life, my conditions are already quite lenient.”

Qingyu laughed, “You’re quite smart, I do intend to use that stone to escape. Fine, I can capture more students. I already have some here, is a total of 32 alright?”

“That works.”

“We’ll trade under Cang Mountain in Tianzhu; ten days.”

Lu Yin agreed and hung up, turning to the watching Yan Gang, “You can go retrieve Huo Xiaoling now.”

“Not happening. Get a move on.”
