Chapter 217: Meeting Rob Lucci! A Test from Lucci! [11/10 Subscribe Request]

Rosede Kingdom.

Salracheng.

In front of Uncle Kaiqi's tavern.

Lu En's expression was calm as he gazed at the ordinary tavern before him.

A gentle breeze brushed past.

From inside the tavern wafted a rich, heady aroma of mellow alcohol.

Even with the door between them, the scent of the liquor could still be caught.

From within came bursts of lively, noisy chatter.

There were many people,

and a great mixed crowd.

All sorts mingled together.

It was chaotic.

"This is the place Luci specified?"

Lu En fell into thought.

Without thinking further,

he stepped forward and pushed open the tavern's door.

Creak!

A pleasant sound rang out.

The door swung open.

Then,

Lu En stepped inside the tavern.

Immediately after,

coming head-on, pair after pair of strange gazes fixed themselves upon Lu En.

They all seemed very curious…

How had a child of only four suddenly come to a tavern?

Also,

a very few gazes brimming with malice sized up Lu En with great interest.

Following those gazes, Lu En saw several burly, powerfully built middle-aged men.

The faces of those burly men were steeped in malice, a malice that was almost undisguised.

"A swarm of ants…"

The violent emotion Lu En had just suppressed surged up in his heart once more; a crimson, ferocious glint flashed in his eyes as he used them to lock gazes with those burly men.

In an instant,

Boom—

those burly men seemed to see a terrifying figure walking out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Bearing boundless killing intent,

a heaven-shattering murderous aura swept over them like a tidal wave.

In the span of a single exchanged glance,

those malicious, burly men instantly felt their hands and feet go cold; the fear within them magnified without limit, their faces paling, their eyes filled with terror as they stared at Lu En.

"This little brat…"

"What kind of monster did he come from?!"

"What terrifying eyes!"

"Just one look nearly made me suffocate."

"This pressure is far too strong!"

The burly men's throats went dry, their bodies feeling as though plunged into an icy cavern.

Under Lu En's gaze, they felt only a bone-chilling cold rising from the soles of their feet straight to the crown of their heads, sending waves of creeping horror through them, making them shiver.

Very quickly,

they hurriedly averted their terror-stricken gazes, no longer daring to size up Lu En with malice.

In their eyes…

Lu En, only four years old, was now as terrifying as a demon!

"I once saw from afar a great pirate with a bounty of over ten million Berries…"

"But even a great pirate with a bounty of over ten million Berries—I never felt such terrifying pressure from one of them."

"Even a great pirate with a bounty of over ten million Berries couldn't compare to the terrifying aura that little brat is giving off."

"What a terrifying monster!"

"How could such a monster suddenly come to the Rosede Kingdom?"

"Let's not get involved in this. Whatever happens, we absolutely must not provoke that monster! Otherwise, I feel like I'll be killed by him the very next second."

The burly middle-aged men conversed, trembling.

At this moment,

Lu En had already arrived at the tavern's front counter.

Seeing Lu En, only four years old, the middle-aged boss behind the counter also looked thoroughly surprised.

Before the boss could speak,

Lu En asked first: "Here, is there a thirteen-year-old boy named Rob Lucci?"

Hearing this,

the middle-aged boss's pupils contracted slightly, and a subtle change came over his expression.

Immediately,

He hastily asked tentatively, "And you are?"

"My name is Lu En, sent by the Marines to be responsible for cooperating with him."

Lu En stated bluntly.

At this point, based on the existing clues and intelligence at hand,

basically,

he had already made his judgment.

If his guess was not wrong,

this tavern was, in fact, a secret stronghold established by the CP organization.

This made Lu En have to sigh with emotion.

The CP organization under the World Government truly left no crevice unpenetrated.

Looking across this sea…

everywhere were secret strongholds established by the CP organization.

Even within the Kingdom of Rosed, there was a secret stronghold.

Unimaginable.

On the countless islands across this sea, how many more secret strongholds of the CP organization existed?

Probably too many to count!

The CP organization truly lived up to…

being hailed as the World Government's number one intelligence organization!

An all-encompassing net,

leaving no crevice unpenetrated.

"Mr. Lu En, please follow me."

"Mr. Lucci has long been awaiting you."

Then, the middle-aged boss led Lu En toward a secret room in the tavern.

Arriving before the secret room door,

the middle-aged boss took the lead in announcing his departure: "Mr. Lucci is inside. Mr. Lu En, I shall not linger here any longer. You two may rest assured that any conversation here absolutely cannot be eavesdropped on by any outsider."

"This is the most secretive secret room of our CP organization!"

"On ordinary days, it is used exclusively for exchanging classified intelligence."

Given the middle-aged boss's status, he naturally did not have the qualifications to participate in emergency rescue missions.

Therefore,

he very tactfully announced his departure.

Afraid that…

if he so much as caught even the slightest bit of news and intelligence he should not have access to,

he would be completely dismissed from his post, or even erased.

The CP organization was extremely ruthless!

Strictly hierarchical,

every elite needed to obey the iron rules!

If anyone overstepped…

they would be dismissed and hunted down to death!

Not long after,

the middle-aged boss left.

From the other's mouth, Lu En also confirmed that this tavern was indeed a stronghold established by the CP organization.
