Chapter 1263 - 1262: Respect

Although Heaton is a mercenary, he is quite influential and powerful in the United Kingdom. Despite being called Colonel, he actually holds real control over Military Intelligence Six!

Even someone as high as Duke Adam wouldn't dare provoke such a person lightly!

Seeing Heaton step towards Lu Yu, Adam's heart was filled with a sense of delight and hope.

If Heaton is also here to trouble Lu Yu, then Adam can save a lot of effort, as Heaton dealing with Lu Yu is far more effective than he could ever manage!

Having thought of this, Adam's gaze shifted towards Heaton, now fervently hoping to witness the scene he wished to see!

At this moment, Heaton slowly came in front of Lu Yu. He glanced at the man in black lying on the ground and then at the British special forces nearby, finally saying, "Mr. Lu!"

When speaking, Heaton's voice was extremely deep, and each syllable carried a sense of respect.

Since learning of Lu Yu's identity in Lin'an City last time, he had shown extra humility and respect towards Lu Yu, after all, Lu Yu was a senior member of the Assassin Alliance and a disciple of Belmont III!

Such an identity is something neither he nor the entire European Federation could ever afford to provoke!

Therefore, his calling 'Mr. Lu' came without a hint of grievance!

After all, as long as Lu Yu wishes, he could replace Heaton in an instant with just a word!

Mr. Lu!?

Upon hearing these words, Adam's expectant expression instantly froze on his face, now staring at Heaton with eyes full of bewilderment.

He really doubted whether he had misheard what Heaton had said.

Colonel Heaton, who controls Military Intelligence Six, had just addressed Lu Yu respectfully as Mr. Lu, words that deeply shocked Adam.

"Don't you think you arrived a bit late?"

Hearing Heaton's words, Lu Yu coldly spoke, his voice carrying an unyielding sharpness: "Had you arrived a few minutes later, I would have dealt with it myself."

As he spoke, Lu Yu's words carried a faint sense of reproach, his voice deep and laced with a sense of authority and lethal intent.

"You knew I was coming!?"

Heaton's expression drastically changed upon hearing Lu Yu's words. Looking at Lu Yu, his eyes were full of astonishment.

He never imagined Lu Yu could precisely know about his arrival.

"Right after I got off the plane, your UK mobile information providers should have filtered my identity from countless inbound travelers' phones, monitoring my calls in real-time."

At this moment, Lu Yu looked at Heaton and spoke, "Do you think I couldn't detect such a simple tactic?"

"Absolutely not!"

Heaton replied, with words full of humility: "I am very aware of Mr. Lu's abilities. We would never underestimate your strength, nor dare to have any contempt for you!"

Heaton's voice was full of apprehension and fear, now full of dread towards Lu Yu.

He knows Lu Yu's power, as the senior members of the Assassin Alliance are never ordinary people.

Moreover, Lu Yu holds evidence of the European Federation funding the Shadow Luo Organization, evidence that if exposed, would deal a huge blow to both Military Intelligence Six and the European Federation.

For these reasons, Heaton treated Lu Yu with utmost respect.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Lu Yu nodded slightly. He raised his eyes to glance at Heaton and then looked at the surrounding British special forces wielding weapons, then spoke, "So, how do you intend to handle the situation here?!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu's voice carried an unwavering authority, now his eyes intensely riveted on Heaton, full of inquiry.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lu!"

Heaton's voice carried a slight tone of respect.

He glanced at the fully armed special forces beside him and then at the dumbstruck Adam behind him, coldly speaking, "In this matter, Military Intelligence Six definitely stands with Mr. Lu!"

As he spoke, Heaton's voice carried a tone of conviction.

Buzz!

Upon hearing these words, Adam's body behind Lu Yu suddenly stiffened; he watched Lu Yu and Heaton, momentarily at a loss for words!

Adam has been completely overwhelmed by Lu Yu and Heaton's conversation. He never imagined the dignified Colonel Heaton would be so humble before Lu Yu.

More unexpectedly, Lu Yu wielded such terrifying influence, commanding Heaton, who controls Military Intelligence Six, to exhibit such respect.

Such a formidable person is beyond what a mere Duke could easily cope with.

Thinking back on his previous actions before Lu Yu, Adam felt his cheeks burn, as if he had been slapped hard!

"Since you say you're with me."

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Lu Yu nodded slightly. He looked at Heaton, then swept his gaze over the armed special forces aimed at him, speaking coldly, "Then why are you hesitating?"

"Or are you waiting for me to act!?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu's presence suddenly emanated a chilling sense of murder, his gaze charged with mischievous intent and full of inquiry.

"No need to trouble Mr. Lu."

Heaton quickly replied, "We will handle these people!"

As he spoke, Heaton turned his head swiftly, giving a signal to the men in black behind him.

Swish!

With Heaton's signal, the men in black instantly lifted their shirts, revealing their weapons aimed directly at the fully armed British special forces, shouting in unison: "Now, hands on your head, kneel!"

Once these words were spoken, the men in black moved their fingers, unlocking the safety on their weapons, their actions exuding a frosty coldness.
