Spare Me, Great Lord!

“Who on Earth are you,” Miyazaki asked, locking her brows.

Lu Shu thought silently, why are you all so fond of this question? What should be his answer this time?

Lu Shu pondered for two seconds before he confessed, “I am the legendary man of beauty and talent… Not good. You may call me the socialist iron fist!”

“… I beg your pardon?!”

“From Miyazaki Yuu’s distress, +999!”

Then she asked, “But you didn’t use your fist just now?”

“???”

It was not to be taken literally!

Before Lu Shu could figure out an explanation, Miyazaki drew from her long hair an extremely thin silver thread and darted towards Lu Shu. The silvery string chain glimmered ominously. Lu Shu tilted his body to avoid the attack, and the string had already cracked the wall behind, revealing the sound-proof layer and the iron compartment within!

Lu Shu was stunned by the strict protection installed around Kuriyama’s office. No wonder his door knocking could not be heard.

In the next instant, a silvery butterfly emerged from the thread, dashing in Lu Shu’s direction. As it flapped its wings, waves of silver dust swept towards Lu Shu, who instantly poured out his divine water as a wall of defense!

Her weapon was a sacred item that possessed a weapon spirit!

Just when Lu Shu was busy defending against the butterfly, Miyazaki hurried to Kuriyama’s office table. But Lu Shu would not let her succeed. Her haste had revealed that there might be alarm buttons at the table!

Miyazaki might have underestimated the volume of Lu Shu’s divine water, which could easily fill up the entire office!

In a split second, the water expanded out like a giant web, expecting Miyazaki’s stumbling into the trap. The golden snake swam upwards and aimed at Miyazaki’s neck at lightning speed!

The energy in Miyazaki’s Spirit Qi armor was rapidly drained as the snake fed on her power from the bite.

In an instant, her armor cracked creating an opening, and the divine water gushed in. Miyazaki gave up her attempt at resistance, her eyes filled with malice and desperation.

“From Miyazaki Yuu’s distress, +1000!”

This time, Lu Shu destroyed his image for a few tens of thousands of magical stones. Yet, in his report to Nie Ting, he would claim that he had killed multiple Class C’s, including two of Takashima Tairatsu’s underlings, and consequently dealt a severe blow to the Collection of Gods.

That made perfect sense. Anyway, he himself was only a Class C too.

The Collection of Gods had lost a great deal at the Koh Chang remains. Yet, another disaster had come to them.

As for the magical stones… What stones?! What are they? Hehe, never heard of them.

Besides the fight, Lu Shu had decided not to surrender what he had earned through his own hard work!

In the worst case scenario… He would surrender 100 of them, to show how rich he was!

Carefully Lu Shu cleaned up the battlefield. But he left the closets and drawers untouched. Based on Miyazaki’s action earlier, there might be certain gears or alarms that Lu Shu did not wish to trigger.

In the meantime, Lu Shu noticed that his golden snake was particularly interested in Miyazaki’s weapon. After the loss of its host, the silvery butterfly returned to the chain, and the snake gulped the entire chain like how people sucked in noodles. Gradually its belly became bulging.

At its side, Lu Shu felt freaking hungry too…

Last time Lu Shu obtained the golden snake as his weapon spirit after the divine water engulfed Nogiwa Takenobu’s magical katana. Now he wondered what would happen next when his snake ate up another weapon spirit.

After a while, the snake had swelled by a fair amount, and even its golden scales had become more distinct!

“No way. The snake actually feeds on weapon spirits?!” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Magical weapons with spirits were always on high demand, but almost none were for sale.

When the snake fed on normal magical weapons, the only thing that had changed was the volume of the divine water. But when it fed on weapon spirits, the change was in the snake itself!

Now, it could straightaway swallow weapons like shurikens instead of wasting time eating it bite by bite!

However… How much money would it cost? Lu Shu was wondering, how good it must be to sell magical weapons with spirits if he came across one again? Why the need to feed his snake?

A more fatal trump card or money? Lu Shu was unable to choose.

As a matter of fact, Lu Shu was not really just a miser. He wanted to gain possession of all the resources he could find for a sense of security.

Tracing it to the core, his greed for money stemmed from his dread of poverty in the past.

He would never want to experience those days again, when he had to think twice before buying Lu Xiaoyu a stick of hawthorn candy, or when he could not afford to cook fried tomatoes with eggs for Lu Xiaoyu everyday.

In the past, he had no security without money. And now, his very act of feeding those magical weapons to the divine water was for that feeling of security too.

“Money didn’t disappear. It is still with me, but in another form…” Lu Shu comforted himself…

After that, Lu Shu walked out of Kuriyama’s office and took the elevator to the surface. Everything was normal around him, as if nothing had happened.

Even now no one knew that just a few minutes ago, a so-called Class D had effortlessly wiped out two of Takashima’s Class C underlings and a Class D Collection of Gods Head of Department.

Maybe even Kuriyama had found it inexplicable. As for Miyazaki, her sitting posture was still elegant as always just 10 seconds before her death. After that, it had all ended.

And Lu Shu’s duty here was to blend into his enemies under a suitable disguise. When the time was right, he would deliver a deadly blow.

Lu Shu believed the loss of a few tens of thousands of magical stones would really be deadly…

Tomosaka was ecstatic seeing Lu Shu again. “How was it, Lord Yamada? Did Lord Kuriyama agree?”

Lu Shu smiled. “Rest assured. He has agreed. Lord Kuriyama asked me to check the stock inside warehouse No.19. You may carry on with your work.”

Despite the possibility of earning some distress points, he decided to make Tomosaka happy so that he would not interfere while Lu Shu was away. Every detail must be well thought through.

Now, the only matter on Lu Shu’s mind was to take out everything in warehouse No.19 smoothly.

Cheerfully Tomosaka went to notify the other two people. As the captains, they were the bosses on the ground, because the higher-ups could not be bothered to waste their time on low-levels like them.

Tomosaka knew the situation well too. It would be hard to ascend to Class D or C for a man like him. Thus, the wisest option was to expand his fortune there.

When the door of warehouse No.19 was wide open in front of Lu Shu, he felt as if he was in the dreamland. The magical stones were there waiting for him!

Perhaps nobody else could take away so many stones, but Lu Shu had his Seal of Lands!
