Chapter 403: Running All This Way Just to Find Someone?

In the lobby of the He City Awakened Association, the atmosphere seemed somewhat strange.

For those Awakened who had heard the name Su Luo, the shock they felt in their hearts was simply impossible to describe in words.

At first, when they saw the person before them, they only felt he looked familiar, but for a moment, they simply could not recall where they had seen him.

Not until the woman at the counter clearly uttered the name "Su Luo" were the crowd as if enlightened, instantly realizing the truth.

Isn't this the very C-Class Awakened who caused such a scene at the Yanshi City Awakened Association a few days ago!

Many people, while still in shock, immediately and reflexively pulled out their mobile phones.

Their fingers slid rapidly across the screens, skillfully digging up the video that recorded that disturbance at the time.

Each of them wore a focused expression, carefully comparing the person in the video with the living Su Luo before their eyes.

The result was self-evident; through repeated confirmation, it was indeed the exact same person!

However, this confirmation did not dispel everyone's doubts; instead, layers of confusion couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

When did this guy named Su Luo suddenly transform into President Su?

Which city's Awakened Association is he the president of, anyway?

This series of questions, like little hammers, kept pounding away at everyone's curiosity.

"President Su, please wait a moment."

The woman at the counter wore a professional smile, and while picking up her phone, she spoke in a respectful tone.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping intentionally or unintentionally toward the camera in the lobby.

Relying on his keen sensory abilities, he had already sensed that several gazes were currently watching his every move closely through this camera.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

In the rather grandly decorated president's office on the third floor of the Association, three or four Awakened were staring intently at Lu Yu on the projection screen, each person's expression extremely tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"President, he seems to have noticed we are monitoring him." A man on the left gasped, exclaiming, "This Mental Power is just too formidable!"

"Wasn't this guy in Yanshi City before? Why did he suddenly run over here? Could it be that he's here specifically to find trouble with us?"

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!" A muffled voice rang out.

"With so many of us here, are we afraid of just him? This isn't Yanshi City; we won't let him come and go as he pleases. If he dares to cause trouble here, he can try and see! We absolutely won't let him succeed!"

"That may be so, but this guy's strength cannot be underestimated!" The man who spoke first said with a face full of worry, "You all saw his previous battle; his body's defense is comparable to an Elite-level Fierce Beast, his speed is incredibly fast, and what's most terrifying is his Mental Power."

"That's right, he should also have practiced the Soul Extinguishing Finger, which is an extremely powerful killing move. If any of us here were to be pointed at by him, it would definitely be certain death."

"So, once a battle breaks out with him, we must kill him at the first opportunity; otherwise, our side will inevitably suffer casualties. This is no joke!"

Hearing this, the man with the muffled voice fell silent.

He lowered his head slightly, lost in thought. That's right, once a fight really started, they would lose at least one person on their side.

C-Class Awakened are not cabbages to be found everywhere; everyone who has made it to this point has gone through countless hardships and tribulations, paying a price in effort that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Furthermore, who would want to be that unlucky cannon fodder and lose their life for nothing?

"Everyone need not be overly worried."

Just then, the middle-aged man Jiang Hua, sitting in that large boss chair, gently turned his chair, moved his gaze away from the chat box on the computer screen, and said slowly, "He seems to have come here this time to find someone, not with the intention of having a conflict with us."

"Find someone?"

"Find who?"

"A person named Qin Hai," Jiang Hua replied.

"Qin Hai?"

The other three in the room, upon hearing this, all widened their eyes in surprise without exception.

They looked at each other, seeing the same confusion in each other's eyes.

In their impression, was there an Awakened named Qin Hai in the Association?

Everyone searched their memories carefully for this name, but after thinking it over, it seemed... there wasn't, right?

"He's a newcomer." Seeing this, Jiang Hua hurriedly explained patiently, "He joined the Association only a few days ago, his ability is Strength Enhancement, and he is currently only an E-rank Awakened."

"E-rank?"

"E-rank Awakened? President, you aren't joking with us, are you? This guy named Su Luo ran all this way just to find an E-rank Awakened? This is too unbelievable, right?"

"Don't say you; even I couldn't believe it when I first heard it." Jiang Hua took another look at the chat window and continued, "You all come over and look at this."

The other three, upon hearing this, hurriedly crowded toward the screen to look at the screenshot.

"President?"

"He is actually a president?"

"When did this guy become the president of the Yongan City Awakened Association?"

The expressions on the three men's faces were as if they had seen a ghost, full of shock and disbelief.

"I just confirmed it specifically; this Su Luo is indeed currently the president of the Yongan City Awakened Association," Jiang Hua said affirmatively.

"This..."

The other three, hearing this, didn't know what to say for a moment.

They never imagined that this guy, who was once thought to be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth for daring to cause a scene at the Yanshi City Awakened Association, had suddenly transformed into a Branch president...

All of this was truly too mind-boggling.

"So, a dignified Branch president actually ran over here in person to find someone?" one of them said, dumbfounded. "And he's looking for an E-rank Awakened? What on earth is going on?"

"I also think this matter sounds a bit unbelievable."

Jiang Hua folded his arms across his chest, cupped his chin, and after thinking for a moment, said, "How about this: let's stay put for now and wait and see. If he really is just here to find someone, then naturally that's a happy outcome."

"If he is using finding someone as a pretext but actually wants to find trouble, we absolutely cannot let him act recklessly. We absolutely cannot lose the face of our Association!"

"Yes, President!"

The three responded in unison, though from their eyes, one could still see they were more or less cowering.
