Chapter 1498 - 1497: Merck

Late at night, Bath City was extremely silent, with its streets devoid of people. The bright moon in the sky sprinkled its light across the streets, giving the city a slick and bright appearance, adding a unique touch to its classical prosperity.

At this moment, inside the Crescent Group's Bath City branch office building, a man in a suit and glasses sat behind a large desk, a cigar dangling from his mouth. He was now facing his computer, appearing quite casual.

"Rest assured, this time the financial mission is ninety percent complete. The remaining ten percent is practically a piece of cake!"

The man spoke slowly with a trace of confidence in his voice, clearly due to the successful completion of the mission.

"Very good!"

Upon hearing the man's words, a heavy voice came from the computer: "Merck, this task was executed extremely well. The organization is in great need of funds right now; you must spare no effort to complete this financial mission!"

"When the organization rises again, you'll undoubtedly have an irreplaceable contribution!"

The heavy voice was extremely deep, with hints of praise, giving a sense of affirmation.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the man named Merck spoke, his voice full of excitement and motivational spirit!

"Hmm!"

Hearing Merck's voice, the thick voice expressed appreciation: "This conversation ends here. I hope next time you'll achieve even greater outcomes!"

The voice dissipated immediately afterward.

"Hmph!"

Watching the video disconnect on the computer, Merck let out a low hum, and said coldly while staring at the computer screen in front of him: "Great, at this rate, the higher-ups in the organization will soon recognize my existence. Then I will shine in the organization, letting everyone know that I, Merck, am a genius!"

In his words, Merck's face was filled with pride, exuding immense self-satisfaction: "Then, I will surely stand out in the organization, letting everyone recognize me, Merck!"

In his words, Merck was extremely confident, expressing his expectations for the future between the lines!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Just as Merck spoke ambitiously, a resonant sound abruptly echoed, reverberating throughout the room, sounding extremely loud and sudden.

Buzz!

Upon hearing the sound, Merck's scalp tingled, and instinctively reached for a weapon at his waist, showing great vigilance.

During the video call, others were absolutely not allowed to enter. At this moment, any intruder would be dealt with mercilessly!

Clatter!

Instantly, Merck spun around abruptly, aiming his gun at whatever was behind him!

At the same time, he lifted his gaze, only to see a man sitting on the sofa behind him!

This man was undoubtedly Lu Yu!

Lu Yu was now sitting naturally on the sofa in Merck's office, exuding a leisurely demeanor.

"Who are you!?"

Seeing Lu Yu behind him, Merck pointed the gun at Lu Yu and spoke coldly. His finger was on the trigger, full of caution in his words: "I don't recall inviting you in!"

Despite his frigid attitude, Merck's eyes betrayed traces of fear and unease!

After all, the security in this building was extremely tight, yet Lu Yu managed to appear silently in his office, revealing numerous issues!

"Do I need your permission to enter!?"

Upon hearing Merck speak, Lu Yu replied with a chilling laugh, fixing his sharp gaze on Merck as if he were a beast lying in wait, filled with murderous playfulness: "Who the hell are you!?"

In his words, Lu Yu's voice carried a mocking arrogance, filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"Arrogant!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, fury rose within Merck's heart, and he spoke coldly while gritting his teeth: "I'm about to show you who the hell I am!"

With that, Merck immediately pulled the trigger!

Bam!

With a loud gunshot, a spark burst from the muzzle of Merck's pistol, and a golden bullet fired straight toward Lu Yu's forehead!

Clang!

However, in the blink of an eye, the bullet slammed into Lu Yu's forehead, leaving Merck with a cold smile, exuding a deadly chill.

But quickly, Merck's smile froze, his previous cold grin turning to shock and disbelief!

Because now, he was witnessing the severely deformed bullet sliding off Lu Yu's forehead!

The bullet was deformed significantly, yet Lu Yu's forehead remained untouched, the shot neither killed Lu Yu nor left a scratch on his forehead!

Gasp!

Witnessing this scene, Merck inhaled sharply, staring at Lu Yu with fear and speaking: "Who, who exactly are you!?"

A person impervious to bullets stood silently before him, plunging Merck into extreme dread!

"Who I am is irrelevant!"

Hearing Merck, Lu Yu grinned coldly, standing up from the sofa, fixing his gaze on Merck, and said: "What matters is why I came to find you!"

While speaking, Lu Yu took a slow step forward!

Thud!

With each step, the sole of Lu Yu's foot produced a deep sound against the ground!

The moment the sound resonated, it struck a chord within Merck's heart, rattling him. Lu Yu's step felt like it trampled directly on his heart, filling him with immense fear and anxiety, leaving his heart increasingly unsettled!
