Chapter 1207 - 1206: Where Do We Go From Here?

There's someone who cares about you!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was visibly stunned. He never expected his mentor to say such a thing.

"Mentor, I don't understand what you mean."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at Belmont III in front of him and spoke, with a hint of inquiry in his words.

"Don't understand what I mean?"

Belmont III shook his head with a smile. He looked at Lu Yu and said, "Hatred is indeed a good catalyst, but this kind of catalyst can easily make one lose themselves."

Saying this, Belmont III turned his head to look at the not-so-distant Leng Qingqiu, and said, "When Marcus brought this girl to me earlier, her expression and tone were incredibly anxious, asking me to assist you immediately. This kind of emotion, wouldn't you say she's concerned about you?"

"Moreover, as far as I know, she is your fiancée."

While speaking, Belmont III's face was filled with a smile.

Leng Qingqiu is concerned about me?

Upon hearing Belmont III's words, Lu Yu was quite surprised. He never imagined that the very cold Leng Qingqiu from five years ago would react this way.

"Mentor, I think you might have misunderstood."

While surprised, Lu Yu took a deep breath. He looked at Belmont III and said, "Five years ago, she was indeed my fiancée, but now, we're only bound by a contract."

Even now, Lu Yu still found it hard to believe that the cold and indifferent Leng Qingqiu from five years ago could be deeply concerned about him.

After weathering numerous trials, hearing such news indeed left Lu Yu somewhat unprepared.

Hatred can shape a person, turning a coward into a warrior and a waste into a powerful force, but such shaping is too brutal, leaving Lu Yu slightly bewildered when it comes to matters of emotion.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Belmont III shook his head with a smile. He looked at Lu Yu and said, "Boy, I don't understand much about young people's relationship problems, but I've lived many years and been through countless experiences, far more than you."

Pausing in his speech, Belmont III then said, "Although that girl's personality is somewhat indifferent, you can't judge her heart by her exterior."

"How do you know that beneath her cold exterior isn't a warm heart?"

While speaking, Belmont III's face was ambiguous with a smile, filled with guidance.

How do you know that beneath her cold exterior isn't a warm heart?

Belmont III's words left Lu Yu frozen in place. He looked at Leng Qingqiu, who was also looking at him with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing the concern on Leng Qingqiu's face, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Leng Qingqiu really is concerned about him?

"Mentor, before revenge, I don't want to consider these things too much..."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu spoke, his words full of steadiness, seemingly avoiding something.

"Silly boy."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Belmont III laughed softly. He looked at Lu Yu and said, "You must know that the world isn't solely defined by hatred. Although the hatred within you is as deep as the sea, have you thought about what you'll do after revenge?"

"This..."

Upon hearing Belmont III's words, for a moment, Lu Yu didn't know how to answer such a question.

Because, after revenge, he indeed hadn't considered his future.

Over five years, revenge had been the powerful driving force for Lu Yu, so he never thought about life after revenge.

"Understand now?"

Looking at Lu Yu, Belmont III said, "Boy, you're smart enough to understand that hatred can give you immense strength but can also lead to eternal damnation. The deceased wouldn't want you to become a powerful killing machine after revenge."

"Although the Assassin Alliance deals with perilous tasks, we understand human nature better."

Looking at Lu Yu, Belmont III spoke, "To be human is to have emotions; such people are complete. Coldness and lust for killing can only make one a machine."

"Moreover, you've already reached the Shadow Luo Organization; you really need to consider the future."

Looking at Lu Yu, Belmont III's eyes were full of wisdom, giving off a feeling of profound indifference.

Hearing Belmont III's words, Lu Yu froze in place, lost in thought.

After all, he had never considered life after revenge.

Seeing Lu Yu's somewhat bewildered expression, Belmont III smiled, then said, "Boy, I've said enough on this matter for now; the rest is up to your own understanding."

Pausing in his speech, Belmont III continued, "I came here this time to see your attitude. Since you're so determined, I'm relieved. When you encounter trouble, inform the Alliance. The Shadow Luo Organization isn't something local small families can compare to; you're a bit thin on your own."

"Yes, Mentor."

Upon hearing Belmont III's words, Lu Yu nodded in agreement. He looked at Belmont III and pointed to Jiang Tianyi's corpse on the ground, saying, "Mentor, please take this battle armor back to the Alliance. With the Alliance's resources, replicating such armor shouldn't be difficult."

"Destroy it."

Upon hearing this, Belmont III said, "This kind of armor requires too much of the human body's capabilities, not everyone can handle it. Wearing it does more harm than good, it'd be best to destroy it."

As the leader of the Assassin Alliance, Belmont III was experienced and knowledgeable, understanding the drawbacks of such biological battle armor at a glance.

"Yes, Mentor."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu responded.

As Belmont III spoke, he smiled lightly, then turned and led the members of the Assassin Alliance away.
