Chapter 390: News of the Villas

"No, Mr. Su Luo, I have absolutely no such intention."

Hai Qiong hurriedly explained with a fawning smile, though he could not hide the excited gleam in his eyes.

"Mr. Su Luo, please follow me." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Yu did not say a word and strode forward.

The group passed through a long corridor and arrived at a spacious, open area.

"Mr. Su Luo, please take the Fierce Beast materials out of your Space Item and place them here," Hai Qiong said, full of anticipation.

The others also wore expressions of nervousness and excitement.

Unbeknownst to them, the surrounding open space was soon crowded with Awakened who had heard the news and rushed over, all wanting to witness this shocking scene with their own eyes.

"Alright," Lu Yu said, his fingers brushing lightly across his pocket.

In an instant, three piles of materials appeared out of thin air on the open ground.

The pile on the far left was the material from a Black Feather Eagle; although its feathers were no longer fresh, they still exuded a sharp aura.

The pile in the middle was from a Lion Ape; its thick bones and tough fur highlighted how powerful it had been while alive.

The one on the far right was the material from a Fire-Scaled Pig; those scales, marked with flame patterns, seemed to still tell of its former ferocity.

The three piles of materials were clearly demarcated and could be distinguished at a glance.

In an instant, everyone was so shocked that their mouths fell open, their eyes fixed and unmoving as they stared at the stunning scene before them.

They had originally been guessing which Fierce Beast's materials this Su Luo would display first, and in what order, even wondering if he might not be able to produce the Fire-Scaled Pig's materials at all, as that was, after all, an extremely formidable existence among Elite-level Fierce Beasts.

As it turned out, this guy was so straightforward that he had dumped out the materials of all three Elite Beasts at once!

Those standing closest felt the shock most intensely.

Three Elite-level Fierce Beasts! Even though they were already dead, the mere aura emitted by these materials made them tremble with fear, not daring to be the least bit negligent.

As for Hai Qiong, beyond his shock, the excitement in his heart was nearly overflowing.

"Go ahead and verify them," Lu Yu said indifferently. "If there are no problems, then these three tasks are considered complete."

These three tasks combined would yield approximately five thousand points.

Compared to when he previously sat on tens of thousands of points, this was naturally a far cry.

However, for a C-Class Awakened, obtaining five thousand points by completing tasks was by no means an easy feat.

Lu Yu already had a plan in mind: once the weapons and equipment from headquarters arrived, he would continue going out to hunt.

After all, the outbreak of a Beast Tide was already inevitable; killing a few more Elite-level Fierce Beasts, or perhaps one more Commander-level Fierce Beast, could significantly reduce the pressure on the city during the potential future siege by Fierce Beasts.

"No problem, of course there's no problem!" Hai Qiong said hurriedly, almost without thinking. "Mr. Su Luo, the task materials you submitted are perfectly fine; I will verify them for you right now."

As he spoke, he quickly took out his phone and tapped the screen a few times.

Soon, the phone on Lu Yu's person vibrated several times in succession.

He took out his phone to check, and sure enough, the task showed as completed, and the five thousand points had been successfully credited.

"Mr. Su Luo, the points have arrived, haven't they?" Hai Qiong asked cautiously, a fawning smile on his face.

"Mm, since it's been confirmed, I'll be leaving now." Having said that, Lu Yu put away his phone and turned to walk in the direction he had come from.

Seeing this, the surrounding Awakened hurriedly cleared a path.

Unlike the wariness in their eyes when they looked at Lu Yu before, their gazes were now filled with awe.

A single person killing three Elite-level Fierce Beasts alone, and one of them was a Fire-Scaled Pig!

Such strength was absolutely at the ceiling level among C-Class Awakened!

Some of them even secretly suspected that Lu Yu might actually already be a B-Class Awakened, only lacking a feat to prove his strength, such as the glorious achievement of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone.

But regardless, they all knew deep down that the gap between them and Lu Yu was like heaven and earth, and they could only look up to him.

Even Hai Qiong, the Vice President who was a C-Class Awakened, was left far behind by this person—by more than eight streets!

"Please wait a moment!" Hai Qiong gritted his teeth, gathered his courage, and ran right in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu immediately frowned and asked displeased, "What else is there?"

"Mr. Su Luo, please allow me to ask a presumptuous question: are you currently staying in Yongan City?"

Upon hearing this, a sharp murderous intent flashed through Lu Yu's eyes.

"Mr. Su Luo, I, I really don't have any other intentions."

Hai Qiong was so frightened that his face turned pale; he shook his head and waved his hands, hurriedly explaining:

"I absolutely have no intention of prying into your background, but rather, there is a matter of utmost importance that I would like to beg for your help with. If you are willing to lend a hand, this matter will also be of great benefit to you."

"Is that so? And what if I refuse?" Lu Yu responded without hesitation.

"Mr. Su Luo, this matter is truly very important; it concerns the survival of our Yongan City and the lives and safety of tens of thousands of people!"

Hai Qiong gritted his teeth and said with a serious expression, "No matter what, please listen to me finish. You can refuse after I've finished speaking, okay? Mr. Su Luo, I beg you."

"Brother Su Luo, please listen, won't you?"

"Brother Su Luo, it won't take up too much of your time."

The few people beside Hai Qiong also pleaded one after another.

Among the large crowd of Awakened nearby, some seemed to have guessed what Hai Qiong was going to say, while others remained blank, completely at a loss.

"Speak," Lu Yu said indifferently.

With the safety of tens of thousands of people in Yongan City at stake, he couldn't help but feel curious; could it be that these people already knew the news that a Beast Tide was about to break out soon?

"Alright, Mr. Su Luo, what I am about to say may sound incredible to you, but this matter is absolutely true, and everyone present here can testify to it."

Hai Qiong looked at the people around him and then said slowly, "I don't know if you are aware, Brother Su Luo, of the commotion that happened at the villas in Yongan City yesterday?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu immediately guessed what the other party was going to say, but he still deliberately shook his head and asked, feigning ignorance, "I'm not clear on that, what happened?"

"I see. Then I ask for your patience, Mr. Su Luo, while I explain this matter in detail."

Hai Qiong sighed helplessly and then proceeded to tell the news of the deaths of Yan Luo and the others, point by point.

Lu Yu did not change his expression, listening calmly without revealing his thoughts.

He had come this time with the intention of probing the situation, and having the person before him take the initiative to explain the matter was exactly what he had hoped for.
