The sword light and sword shadow attacked in an instant. In that flash, the auras of a Grade 5 Great Grand Master and a Grade 7 Great Grand Master completely engulfed the area.

A ray of light flashed and vanished, and blood gushed out. This was followed by two wretched screams one after the other. However, the one bleeding was not

“What are you doing? Why are you attacking me?” The Chu family member in the tuxedo held his right arm with his left hand, trying to stop the gushing blood from the wound, and yelled angrily at the man in the business suit.

“I should be the one asking you this question.” The man in the business suit also displayed an indignant expression and questioned the Chu family member in the tuxedo in a loud voice.

Just at the moment the two men struck, the sword light and sword shadow that flashed out somehow went around Lu Yu and ended up attacking the two men instead, causing the two of them to become injured.

The Chu family member in the tuxedo had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Then realization suddenly hit him and he said in a low voice, “Our attacks seem to have been controlled by a certain kind of force to turn around and attack us instead.”

“Could it be that… we are in an illusionary realm?”

The man in the business suit also came to this same realization as the Chu family member in the tuxedo. He began to feel more certain of this hypothesis.

In this illusionary realm, Lu Yu was the master. Even if these two Great Grand Masters noticed this, the effect on Lu Yu was downright insignificant. Lu Yu said with a scornful laugh, “Next, it’s my turn to attack.”

As soon as he uttered these words, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed out a ray of blood-colored saber light which headed straight for the Chu family member in the tuxedo. In that instant, the swift and fierce aura drained all the color from the face of the Chu family member wearing a tuxedo.

They were all Great Grand Master power experts, yet this guy Lu Yu’s strength was on a totally different level from theirs.

“Argh!” The man in the business suit let out a wretched scream.

This ray of saber light sliced into the body of this Chu family member. It didn’t cause him any damage. On the contrary, one of the arms of the man in the business suit was instantly hacked off and it went flying out.

The face of the man in the business suit turned as white as paper due to the pain. He stared at Lu Yu, his eyes filled with terror. He didn’t expect this guy that Manager Hu asked him to kill was actually so powerful.

“Sir, please spare my life. I have my difficulties too.” The man in the business suit knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowing vigorously.

“Hoho… What happened to your earlier impressive form?” Lu Yu said with a scornful laugh. “I can spare your life on one condition. You have to help me testify against the Southern Seas Hotel on the crime they have committed.”

The face of the man in the business suit turned extremely awkward all of a sudden. What was the difference between asking him to testify against the Southern Seas Hotel and killing him?

Seeing the hesitant look on the face of the man in the business suit, Lu Yu said, “It seems like I can’t count on you. But this is to be expected. I naturally have a

way to make you talk.”

The man in the business suit said bitterly, “Sir, are you really determined to go against the Southern Seas Hotel? The boss behind the Southern Seas Hotel is someone whom even the four great families feared to a certain extent. I advise you to analyze the situation carefully and choose the wiser path.”

“Hoho…” Lu Yu simply shook his head and laughed scornfully without saying anything. He was never one to submit meekly to humiliation, much less be a lamb that willingly extended its own neck for the slaughter.

With a direct palm strike, Lu Yu knocked the man in the business suit out. He then turned to look at the Chu family member in the tuxedo, and the iciness in his eyes intensified. “Next, it’s your turn to give me an explanation.”

This Chu family member was already drenched in cold sweat after experiencing Lu Yu’s might. This illusionary realm was simply too bizarre and terrifying. No matter what sort of attack was unleashed, it was redirected onto the other person’s body.

This kind of mental-type attack was something he had never seen before. It was almost impossible to find a way to break it.

The Chil family member in the tuxedo said. “Sir. T concede- Please let this matter drop on account of our Chu family.”

This sort of attitude and tone of voice was completely unlike that of a prisoner under interrogation. It gave Lu Yu the impression that the speaker was a high and mighty nobleman whose slight fault was witnessed by a roadside beggar. And the nobleman decided to hush the matter up simply by tossing a few coins in the beggar’s bowl in a perfunctory manner.

Lu Yu roared angrily, “Hoho! What an arrogant Chu family member. Is this how you should speak?”

Suddenly, Gravitational Force was activated. A gravitational force that was multiplied 30 times crushed down on the body of this member of the Chu family until he was flattened against the ground.

“You are simply going overboard!” This humiliating position made this Chu family member shocked and enraged, but he was also so frightened by this tough stance by Lu Yu that his whole body trembled violently.

The fact that Lu Yu did not kill the man in the business suit outright was a gesture of compromise in his eyes. He thought that by laying bare his identity he could defuse the matter, but he did not realize that Lu Yu had no intention of defusing the situation at all.

“Going overboard? I believe this phrase is more appropriate to describe you guys,” Lu Yu said in an icy tone. “Is this how you and your Chu family treat their guests?”

The face of this Chu family member turned into various hues of white and green for a while before finally settling on bright red. He was at fault in this matter, and he indeed had nothing to say.

“Dammit! Lu Yu, I support you in this course of action. They must give an explanation for this matter!” Zheng Xiaochuan, who had stood in place for a

long time watching everything, also spoke out indignantly.

As the young master of the Zheng family, he still had the credentials to challenge the Chu family and the Southern Seas Hotel. Furthermore, this Chu family member was only an ordinary direct descendant at best.

This Chu family member finally gave in and said, “Then how do you wish to resolve this matter?”

“Are you worthy to ask this?” Lu Yu gave a look of contempt. Where did this minion who was unworthy of speaking get the courage to ask him this question?

Immediately, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed down and the head of this Chu family member fell to the ground!

Lu Yu kicked this head far away. As it rolled to the elevator door, he turned his head to look at a certain location and said, “Your Lordship, since you have the guts to do this, you should step forward to own up. Don’t tell me you intend to hide inside your shell like a turtle for the rest of your life?”

A wave of fluctuations rippled in the illusionary realm. A middle-aged man in a gray suit with combed-back greasy hair appeared. He glared at Lu Yu with a sinister expression, and his body emitted an aura of a Grade 9 Great Grand Master.

Judging by the way he dressed and his aura, notwithstanding other contingencies, he should be Chu Xiong, the owner of this hotel.

At this moment, Chu Xiong was caught between a rock and a hard place. He was trapped in Lu Yu’s illusionary realm. Although this illusionary realm was not able to confuse his mind, he was still unable to break out of it.

And that kick on the decapitated head just now was Lu Yu’s warning shot to Chu Xiong. Chu Xiong was also well aware of his intentions. He then said, “My friend, you have already caused a big scene, and I’m sure you have vented your anger by now. I wonder if you could let this matter rest on my account and the Chu family’s account?”

It was this condescending posturing again. It was this arrogant and bossy manner again. It was as if the whole world owed him money.

“What if I say I refuse to let this matter rest?” Lu Yu said in an icy tone. When Chu Xiong heard this, a menacing glint of light flashed across his eyes and he spoke, “It seems that your Lordship wants to do this the hard way..”
