Chapter 1499 - 1498: For What Purpose?

The important thing is, why am I here to see you!

Upon hearing these words from Lu Yu, Merck's heart skipped a beat in an instant. Now, as he looked at Lu Yu before him, his heart trembled briefly, then he forced himself to muster courage and asked, "I wonder what brings you here at this late hour?!"

As he spoke, Merck tried to suppress the fear and unease in his heart. Looking at Lu Yu, he forced a smile that appeared extremely insincere, giving one the impression of feigned calm.

"Why am I here to see you!?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu chuckled coldly and said, "This matter, you should be clearer about than I am!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu crossed his legs and fixed his gaze directly on Merck, a playful glint in his eyes that conveyed a sense of mockery and jest.

"Sir,

Hearing Lu Yu's words at this moment, Merck's mind raced rapidly. Looking at Lu Yu, he forced a deeply insincere smile and said, "As you can see, I am just a law-abiding professional manager. I really don't know why you've come to see me."

Even as he spoke, cold sweat dripped down Merck's back. He looked at Lu Yu, his gaze flickering with calculated thoughts.

"A law-abiding professional manager?"

Lu Yu's reaction was as if he had heard something amusing. He coldly laughed and said, "A law-abiding professional manager who casually shoots at others without asking questions about right or wrong?"

His eyes narrowed subtly, revealing a sharp, chilling edge.

"This gentleman should know that we have the legal right to bear arms in Europe. For late-night visitors like you, we have the right to shoot directly!"

"This stance is completely justified by law!"

As he spoke, Merck exhibited traits of a professional manager, his words logical and sound, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Upon hearing Merck's words, Lu Yu shook his head smilingly, then started clapping involuntarily, raising his eyes to look at Merck, saying, "Mr. Merck truly has a way with words, making even groundless reasoning sound plausible!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's tone remained indifferent, with a slight sneer on his face, giving the impression he was toying with Merck.

To Lu Yu now, Merck seemed insignificant, like a monkey he was observing to see how far he'd continue fabricating stories!

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words and seeing his composure, Merck's anxiety deepened, revealing traces of hostility in his words, a sight to incite fear!

"What? Can't keep your cool?"

Seeing Merck on the verge of losing his composure, Lu Yu smirked and said, his voice low and indifferent, with a hint of amusement.

"I just want to know why you visited so late!"

Seeing Lu Yu, Merck's eyes flickered intensely. His hands gripped the gun tightly, his arms trembling slightly out of fear.

Despite appearing calm on the surface, Merck felt an overwhelming panic!

After all, sitting before him was a monster who remained unharmed by gunshots to the forehead, a scenario that would instigate fear in anyone.

"You seem very afraid."

Observing Merck's trembling arm, Lu Yu spoke softly, his gaze lowered, eyes fixed playfully on Merck's arm: "Do I really terrify you that much?"

His words were mild, yet the pressure they carried left Merck feeling suffocated!

Merck didn't know why Lu Yu was here, and less so his purpose. All he knew was that Lu Yu was unafraid of bullets and could enter his office silently—these facts alone chilled his spine!

"Anyone would be scared when a stranger sneaks into their office unnoticed!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Merck responded casually, desperately suppressing his fear, appearing awkward.

"Is it truly the stranger's intrusion that frightens you?"

Hearing Merck's words, Lu Yu chuckled coldly and suddenly vanished from his place, speaking softly: "Yet in my view, it means something else entirely!"

He appeared behind the man like a phantom, addressing him softly: "There's an old saying in the East that fits well to describe you now!"

His voice echoed like a ghost's, unsettling and eerie: "It states, if you don't commit wrongs, you won't fear ghosts knocking at your door at night. Are you so scared because you've done something wrong?"

His words carried a spectral, haunting tone that would chill anyone's spine.

Buzz!

Upon hearing this, Merck's body jerked akin to an electric shock.

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

Thinking about this, in an instant, Merck rolled forward, swiftly turned and aimed his gun at Lu Yu, saying coldly, "You speak in riddles, who are you really?"

Heh heh heh heh

Listening to Merck's words, Lu Yu smiled sinisterly and said coldly, "Since you keep questioning, I'll reveal a bit to you!"

"I'm here about the Shadow Luo Organization!"

His gaze was deep, conveying a chilling presence: "You must be familiar with this organization!"
