Chapter 652 The Son Of A Brigadier General

Lu Yu faced the man in a suit.

“So, you are Lu Yu. Interesting. I haven’t even gone looking for you yet; you’ve come to me instead.”

“Wang Tao, right? Is there anything I can do for you?” Lu Yu asked.

When Wang Tao’s identity was revealed, he only smiled.

“I didn’t think you’d recognize me. I’m truly honored.” In a mocking tone, he replied.

“Lu Yu.”

“I’ve recently been bombarded by these two words so much that my ears are developing calluses.”

As he approached Lu Yu, he lifted his shoulders and shook off his suit.

“My current strength is platinum rank 4. Do you realize how much I’ve given up to get to this point? Do you know how much my family has paid?”

“At the end of the day, I’m only qualified to be a second lieutenant in the military?”

“Can you believe it? I’m only qualified for the rank of second lieutenant!” He appeared to be in a foul mood.

“Is that so?” Lu Yu was nonchalant. “Isn’t that already decent? The majority of those who arrive are new recruits, and the better ones only get to be corporeal. You’re quite in an advantageous position already.”

Wang Tao was enraged when he heard this. “But you were already a captain before you arrived? Why? Why! Do they believe I’m not as tough as you?”

His eyes widened, and he yelled angrily.

“Don’t get heated. Is there a miscommunication of some sort? Lu Yu has no animosity toward you.” Xu Yuan persuaded Wang Tao.

“Cut the nonsense. This guy has to die today. Whoever I want to die must die. Do you get it?” He demanded arrogantly.

“It appears that we have to settle this in a fight.” Lu Yu didn’t waste any more words. He clenched his fists and braced himself for a fight.

Wang Tao appeared to have had a pampered childhood and couldn’t stand seeing others outperform him. His insides were twisted with jealousy, which was why he despised Lu Yu.

“Great! I was hoping you’d say that. I’m going to kill you right now!”

Xu Yuan swiftly raised her hand to stop him. “Stop. It won’t look great for both of us if we fight here. Base one is the military headquarters, and no one will get away fighting here!”

Wang Tao sneered at Xu Yuan, “You don’t really think I’m an idiot, do you? Do you think I’d do this if I didn’t have the confidence?”

“Let me tell you the truth. Wang Wei is the name of my father, and he holds the rank of brigadier general. He is the strongest individual in base one; after all, the other generals are out for a meeting!”

“Do you get it now? No one could punish me even if I killed all five of you here!”

After hearing this, Xu Yuan’s body jolted, and he looked nervously at Lu Yu.

“Let’s forget about this and get out of here quickly. Wang Wei is his father. We’ll be finished if we offend him.”

“You’re being diplomatic, but it’s too late. Don’t even consider leaving!”

“Why would we leave?” Lu Yu asked Xu Yuan. “If he wants to fight, we should fight. If he wants to die, I will grant his wish!”

Lu Yu’s right arm transformed into a dragon claw as he spoke.

Xu Yuan was worried. “We cannot afford to offend him with his father being a brigadier general. Furthermore, you’re here to cultivate your career in the military. We can’t afford to make an enemy here.”

Lu Yu knew Xu Yuan was saying this for his own good, but he refused to admit defeat.

Wang Meng was standing in the back without saying anything. Based on his previous attitude, he would have acted the same as Lu Yu and started fighting right away. But things were different now; the place was different, as were their adversaries. If he acted hastily, the consequences would be severe.

Lu Yu smiled confidently as he looked at Xu Yuan. “Don’t be so worried; I’ll be fine. Do you think the military needs me, or do I need the military more?”

Xu Yuan immediately fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He carefully weighed the possibilities and concluded that the military required Lu Yu more than the other way around.

Without Lu Yu, the military would not have known about the Truth Department, let alone their plans.

Without Lu Yu, the military would be unable to locate the two key members of the archaeology department as well as the ancient dragon tomb’s secrets.

The Death Spirit Dragon would have destroyed the upper house if it hadn’t been for Lu Yu.

“Who would the military choose between Wang Tao and me?”

“Of course, it’s you,” Xu Yuan answered confidently. “He’s just a wealthy good-for-nothing. He’s unimportant compared to you!”

Lu Yu and the military were dealing with a major event that could potentially destroy the world, whereas Wang Tao was just a wealthy second generation with connections.

“What did you just say? I’m just a rich, useless kid, and I’m unimportant? You’re dead, and you’re all dead! I’m going to sever your heads!” Wang Tao pointed at Xu Yuan and cursed.

“All right, let’s fight, shall we?” Lu Yu turned to face Wang Tao and said.

“Let’s fight here then. I don’t want to make too much of a fuss, and it won’t take long for me to kill you!”

Wang Tao raised his right hand, and the storage ring on his finger glowed as a scimitar appeared in his hand.

The silver scimitar glowed coldly, showing its razor-sharp blade.

“Are we going to attack him at once, boss? His friends are all trash, so just beat them up!”

“Boss, let’s attack together and finish this fight quickly.”

Wang Tao’s two underlings suggested.

“Sure, attack them together and show them our might!” Wang Tao roared.

“Lu Yu, we’ll support you,” Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou said as they approached Lu Yu. “Leave these two underlings to us!”

“You can leave them with us. You focus on Wang Tao.”

Wang Meng was no longer silent at this point. “Brother, let’s kill him and shut him up!” he yelled.

“Leave these two underlings to me!” Wang Meng drew his blade and assumed a commanding stance.

...

“Come on, I don’t want to waste more time on you,” Lu Yu said, looking at Wang Tao.

Swoop!

Wang Tao stepped forward and swung his scimitar at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu had just read Wang Tao’s talent.

[ Wang Tao ]

[ Talent: Devil Spore (SS-Level): Possesses the ability to release undetectable spores and parasitize the enemy’s body. After ten minutes of rapid reproduction, they can detonate in the enemy’s body. ]

[ Overall strength: Platinum rank 4 ]

Lu Yu knew this man’s scimitar was merely a ruse. His true killing move was to release microscopic spores and parasitize others.

Fortunately, Lu Yu knew of his talent and could end the battle in ten minutes.

“Go to hell!”

Wang Tao swung his scimitar at Lu Yu’s lower abdomen.

...

Lu Yu’s left claw transformed into his Diamond Dragon Claw. With his palm, the thick dragon claw grabbed down onto the scimitar.

The tremendous force caused Wang Tao to break out in a cold sweat.

He raised his head in surprise and looked at Lu Yu. He had not anticipated Lu Yu’s great strength.

Soon after, Lu Yu’s right claw transformed into his Explosive Dragon Claw, and the surrounding temperature rose!

“No, you’re the one going to hell!”
