Chapter 365: Show Her Who’s Boss (1/2)

Lu Yin had already set something up in the Ross Empire, so there was sure to be a war in the future. What gave him the biggest headache right now was his lack of resources. This matter could not wait any longer.

Lu Yin eyed Liu Shaoge. “Where?”

“Tyrannical Weave. Millions City,” Liu Shaoge replied.

“When?”

“That hasn’t been decided yet, so I’ll tell you once things are confirmed.”

Lu Yin nodded. “We have a grudge between us, but it’s settled for now.” With that, he turned around and left.

Liu Shaoge watched as Lu Yin walked away, a confident smile on his face. His instincts about this person were definitely right. Lu Yin was ambitious and capable, which was the kind of person that Liu Shaoge liked to work with the most. Even if he had to pay a price at the beginning, he’d be able to collect on it in the future. This person might even have a huge impact on the Daynight clan, which was what he valued the most in Lu Yin. There was no way that Liu Shaoge was willing to remain as Nightking Zhenwu’s subordinate forever.

The only thing Liu Shaoge wasn’t certain of was whether or not Lu Yin had taken any actions against Puyu yet. What he’d said earlier was merely his analysis based on what Lu Yin had done in the past, so he wasn’t completely certain.

Whatever his plan may be, Lu Yin was definitely not going to work with Puyu. The Councilor was an idiot who revealed all his cards up front; such a person had no right to work with Liu Shaoge.

Lu Yin returned to Wendy Yushan’s courtyard, but then, he suddenly recalled something: Nightking Qingyu. He’d completely forgotten to ask how that person was doing. From what he could recall, Qingyu had said that he would return to Earth in the future to take his revenge.

Qingyu had been able to travel through the universe without a spacecraft even before the trial on Earth, and he must have been quite powerful. That fight had been rather difficult for Lu Yin, even with the Cosmic Art pushing him to the level of a Realmbreaker, he had still been suppressed by Nightking Qingyu. He had no idea if this person would really return to Earth.

Probably not. He wanted to deal with Lu Yin for his revenge, so he would likely search out Lu Yin rather than return to Earth.

The Tyrannical Weave was located quite a distance away from San Dios: twenty whole Weaves away. It was, however, quite close to West San Dios, which was in the center of the Outerverse’s western region.

There was a saying that went around the network: as long as one managed to enter into Millions City, the city would definitely have a way of helping them become rich.

Discovering that saying made Lu Yin so fired-up that he couldn’t wait and wanted to immediately set off towards Millions City. He was in desperate need of more money.

It was no wonder why the four financial powerhouses would gather there. Only a city like that could contain them.

Lu Yin rubbed his chin contemplatively. Should he go? With his current status, there wasn’t much he could do in such a place. While he might seem to possess a lot of identities, they merely represented what he could potentially become. Him being a Lockbreaker or a part of the Ten Arbiters’ Council was nothing compared to those individuals who actually had the means to receive investments from the four financial powerhouses.

However, nothing was ever certain. Lu Yin’s identity was very special: he was the strongest Limiteer as well as a true Ten Arbiters’ candidate.

While nobody knew for sure if the Ten Arbiters would abdicate their positions when they passed the age limit of the younger generation, financial powerhouses might still see him as worth investing in. The question was how much they valued his potential.

Of the four powerhouses, Lu Yin was the most familiar with the Nalan family. If he said something, then he was sure that Madam Nalan would invest in him, but for some reason, Lu Yin didn’t like the idea of using her money. Perhaps it was because the woman was a widow.

There was one other question; if there really was a financial powerhouse who was willing to sponsor him, would it be for his personal cultivation and potential or for the Great Yu Empire? There was a huge difference between those two motivations.

Liu Shaoge had officially become an acting councilor and gained control over Seven Weaves, which was three more than what Lu Yin had managed to get as someone working on behalf of Wendy Yushan. Arbiter Zhenwu had a lot of support, and after Puyu discovered that he’d offended Arbiter Wen, he had started doing everything he could to win Zhenwu’s favor. Thus, he was constantly being incredibly polite to Liu Shaoge.

Liu Shaoge and Lu Yin’s relationship seemed completely fine on the surface, and a newcomer would never have been able to tell that they used to have a bad relationship.

The grudge that Lu Yin was talking about was how Liu Shaoge had bombed a city and nearly killed him back on Earth. Lu Yin would also never forget how Liu Shaoge had betrayed Earth, but that wasn’t his business. If Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue were still alive, then they would be the ones to redress that betrayal.

Zhao Ran remained in San Dios as a servant. However, there was a slight problem—she forgot everything that had happened to her every few days, just like now.

“Who are you?” Zhao Ran stared up at Lu Yin with wide eyes filled with confusion.

Lu Yin was at a loss. “Don’t ask so many questions. Just stay here.”

“Okay. But where is this place?” Zhao Ran asked.

“East San Dios.”

“I’ve never heard of it. Why am I here?”

“I told you to stop asking. Just stay here.”

“I’m sorry. Did I make you angry?”

“No.”

“There’s something wrong with me,” Zhao Ran said sadly as she lowered her head.

Lu Yin was speechless. She could remember that sentence perfectly.

This conversation happened twice over the next few days. Lu Yin had no choice but to record the entire conversation as a video and hand it over to Yue Xianzi with the explanation, “Whenever she loses her memories, show her this video. Don’t ask me anything else.” He left right away after that.

“You were the one who wanted her to stay here,” Yue Xianzi pouted as she looked at Zhao Ran’s big, confused eyes. “Let’s go. I’ll take you around to help you familiarize yourself with your work.”

“I’m sorry to bother you. There’s something wrong with me,” Zhao Ran apologized.

Yue Xianzi didn’t know how to respond. “Don’t say that in the future.”

“Okay.”
