Chapter 663: 663

The hours-long chase had finally come to an end . Lu Shu stood on the seafloor, gazing at the water surface, while Francesco and the other people looked back at him from the reefs . They were in a flutter .

In fact, the visibility was poor, but both parties could sense the tenseness in the air . Francesco’s heart was throbbing fast . It was perhaps the most thrilling battle he had recently .

On the seafloor, Lu Shu collected the metallic blades the dead Class B left behind . Those metals had the same composition as standard swords, which made them a possible food for Chaos .

To Lu Shu’s disappointment, this Class B did not even have invisible storage equipment . There was nothing left with energy waves after Lu Shu took everything visible… What a poor guy! No wonder he had to rely on the Department of Faith Theory .

Meanwhile, the other people were in utter bewilderment as they watched Lu Shu from the sea surface . They had anticipated more moves from him . After all, they were not willing to accept the fact that so many of them could not even take down one man .

However, to their dismay, they saw Lu Shu scavenging for something on the seabed like a farmer transplanting seedlings . Due to diffraction in the sea water, they could not see clearly what on earth Lu Shu was doing . The scene was getting creepy…

“Is he picking up the metals?” someone asked, confused .

Francesco laughed coldly . “Who needs that stuff? There must be some other reason . ”

The Department of Faith Theory had an affluence of resources and money . Hence, to Francesco, those metals were no difference to garbage . Why would an expert who had turned the table against them care about that stuff? What’s more, it’s so important that he was doing it amidst their fight .

He was wrong about Lu Shu .

After Lu Shu picked up everything, he shot a look towards the sea surface and retreated in another direction quickly . He had no intention to return to the battlefield to face four Class B’s . He had sound judgment of the current situation and his own abilities .

He also knew that Francesco would not come to him for a battle to the death .

Both of them were cool-headed enough to understand the importance of truces when things got too complicated .

Lu Shu traveled a long way under the sea before he returned to the land . The first thing he did was to retrieve his phone from the Seal of Lands and check with the Heavenly Network regarding the outcome of the fight between the Saint and the Bishop .

Lu Shu’s top concern was whether the competition for the mineral reserves would be affected by their fight .

At this moment, it was his duty to vie for the ownership of the reserves for the Heavenly Network . As for the safety of the civilians, he might empathize with crying kids, but he was not noble enough to commit himself to rescue missions now .

He would not deny that he was selfish, even though it was not something wrong either .

Three messages came in once he switched on his phone .

First, Howard was chased by Francesco and some other people . Witnesses reported that Howard had been forced towards the sea . Based on his abilities, he probably could not survive .

Second, the Saint and the Bishop were both hurt during the fight, which was even more intense than the one between the Saint and the Puppet Master . This was because the Bishop used a mutually destructive technique . It appeared that he was stronger than the Saint in terms of actual combat abilities .

Third, where are you?!

The third message sounded like Nie Ting’s tone… Is Heavenly King Nie really so free?

Lu Shu pondered for a while and replied with a text . “Thank you for subscribing to the BBC . Monthly subscription fee: 3 . 00 yuan . Reply TD to unsubscribe . ”

“TD”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +199!”

Ha, Lu Shu laughed at once . So it was you, the old boy…

At this moment, Zhong Yutang suddenly realized that this was not the phone for his daily usage . He called Lu Shu at once, “Stop talking nonsense . I’m glad to know that you are fine . We couldn’t reach you just now . Where have you been?”

Of course, Lu Shu told him the truth . It would not be very nice of him if he provided wrong information while he had been fed with the vast amount of intelligence all the time .

Besides, he was well aware of his confidentiality level . What he said would only reach Zhong Yutang, Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting . This was the trust the Heavenly Network had built with him after a long time of reliable and fair cooperation .

“First of all, Howard is dead, for good . I launched a surprise attack and killed him,” Lu Shu explained . He skipped the details because subconsciously he wanted to keep the secret about the flame in his heart, just like his celestial map .

Therefore, a surprise attack sounded rather convincing, given the difference in their level of abilities . Besides, it was his original plan, though it was exposed too early .

Zhong Yutang hesitated . “What? Do you mean you attacked him when he was being chased?”

“No . I killed him first,” Lu Shu said . He did not want to make everything that clear…

Still perplexed, Zhong Yutang decided to ask further . “That doesn’t make sense . Are you saying he was chased tens of kilometers after you killed him? Running dead?”

After a long hesitation, Lu Shu told the truth . “After I killed Howard, I changed into Howard’s appearance to cause conflicts among large organizations . But before I could go, Francesco saw me first . They were not chasing Howard . It’s me…”

After a short silence, Lu Shu heard suppressed laughs across the phone . His face darkened at once . “Laugh if you feel like it . ”

“Hahahaha, so you are saying no sooner had you changed into Howard’s appearance then you became his scapegoat?” Zhong Yutang almost blurted it out that karma had finally befallen upon Lu Shu…

But Zhong Yutang knew it was enough . In any case, Lu Shu could easily kill a Class B expert like Howard . Zhong Yutang knew better than to test his temper .

Actually, Lu Shu was rather popular in the Heavenly Network, although his stinginess and mean personality was very well-known too . Who else would climb a window to check on whether Zhong Yutang would pick up his phone? That was damn scary!
