Chapter 1537 - 1536: Apology

The next day, the moonlight over London City was bright, the stars splendid, and the neon lights shimmered in harmony with the celestial glow, offering a picturesque view.

At this moment, on the top floor of the London Shard Building, Lu Yu was dressed in a black suit, seated in front of a dining table adorned with flickering candlelights. Before him lay a succulent, juicy steak with side dishes, enough to stir anyone's appetite.

Yet, confronted with such a fine meal, Lu Yu remained unmoved. He leisurely picked up his glass of red wine, swirling it gently, exuding a relaxed demeanor.

Typically, in such situations, Lu Yu would indulge heartily, maximizing the enjoyment and never wasting any of the ingredients.

But Lu Yu's current restraint was due to the presence of a person sitting opposite him.

This individual was dressed opulently, wearing a black hat with a wide brim obscuring their face, projecting a cautious, deliberately concealed appearance.

Beside this person stood a man, tall and dressed in a blue suit, combining steadiness with a hint of ruggedness.

This man was undoubtedly Heaton!

"Your Majesty the Queen,"

Glancing at Heaton, Lu Yu spoke indifferently, "Dressed like this late at night, you might not be able to eat anything at all, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu took a sip of his wine, his gaze shifting to the person in black, with a teasing tone in his words.

The person in black was unmistakably Elizabeth IV.

The purpose of her visit was none other than to apologize to Lu Yu, to end the feeling of being constantly watched, like a prey, over the past few days!

"I'm here to apologize to Mr. Lu. Given my status, I can't appear in the public eye, so I ask Mr. Lu's understanding."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Elizabeth IV spoke, her voice deep, void of her previous queenly superiority.

"Apologize?"

With these words, Lu Yu revealed a playful smile, looking at Elizabeth IV, saying, "So, this table of steak is Her Majesty's way of apologizing?"

"Your Majesty, are you treating me like a beggar?"

As he said this, Lu Yu's voice suddenly dropped, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet, and Elizabeth IV and Heaton shivered involuntarily!

They feared Lu Yu immensely now, worried that one wrong move might infuriate him, leading to a catastrophic disaster!

"We didn't mean that!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Elizabeth IV spoke, her voice carrying a tone of distress, appearing extremely nervous.

"Do you know?"

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Lu Yu waved his hand before speaking, "In our Orient, apologies are incredibly serious, I'm not some young girl interested in romantic candlelit dinners!"

Speaking, Lu Yu's voice was low, his eyelids slightly raised as he eyed Elizabeth IV, speaking somberly, "On the contrary, I might even interpret this as an insult!"

In his words, Lu Yu's gaze already showed traces of dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Lu, my apology is sincere, you must understand I cannot kneel to apologize like in the Orient!"

Elizabeth IV was quite familiar with the customs of the Orient, so she addressed Lu Yu earnestly.

"I didn't ask you to kneel!"

With these words, Lu Yu directly replied, "Besides, do you think your mistake can be resolved with a kneel?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu's voice carried a cold, deep undertone.

Previously, in the duel with the Dragon, had he not entered the crucial Fourth Stage, the consequences would have been dire. If Elizabeth IV's special forces had intervened and forced the Dragon away, his fate would have been uncertain!

Lu Yu had no doubt that if caught by the European Federal Authority, the consequences would be severe!

After all, he had once personally intimidated Elizabeth IV!

"What!?"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Elizabeth IV's eyes showed a flicker of astonishment; she hadn't expected Lu Yu to say such things!

If an apology cannot be resolved by kneeling, what resolution does Lu Yu desire!?

Thinking about this, Elizabeth IV gulped, looking at Lu Yu, speaking, "Mr. Lu, I don't know how you want me to apologize, but if possible, I'm willing to provide a substantial economic compensation."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Lu Yu didn't respond, instead laughing loudly, then looking at her, saying, "Do you think I need money?"

"Or, can your life be settled with a mere sum of money?"

Speaking, Lu Yu's voice remained deep, with a hint of mockery, as if toying with a mouse.

Buzz!

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth IV felt a scalp-tingling sensation, looking at Lu Yu and swallowing, speaking, "Mr. Lu, what exactly do you want, please enlighten me!"

In her words, Elizabeth IV's tone conveyed a sense of helpless enquiry.

She really didn't know what Lu Yu desired, so she straightforwardly asked.

"Very simple!"

Upon hearing Elizabeth's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, speaking, "I want Her Majesty to deploy a military force to assist in attacking the Shadow Luo Organization!"

Boom!

With Lu Yu's words, in an instant, Elizabeth IV's eyes flickered with shock, as if struck by lightning, speaking, "You mean, using our military forces to tackle the Shadow Luo Organization for you!?"

In her words, Elizabeth IV's voice carried traces of disbelief.
