Chapter 857 Displaying Strength
Stone’s words made Sean’s face turn. He stared at Stone and asked firmly, “What exactly is your motive? After saying so much, I can roughly guess what you’re thinking.”
Stone gulped and got nervous.
“What the Protector General means is that the Lionheart Empire must not fall into the hands of the royal family. Otherwise, it will only accelerate our destruction.”
“Therefore, he wants to work with you to abandon the royal family and let us rebuild the Lionheart Empire!”
Sean’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Sure enough, you are trying to persuade me to betray the royal family!”
“I am indebted to the late Emperor and can’t let him down. If the Protector General wants to do something like that, I’ll be the first to disagree!”
“Moreover, the royal family has an equally powerful commander. How can he, the Protector General, seize power so easily?”
Sean’s words made Stone feel a little helpless.
“General Sean, this matter is simple. As long as you join in, our victory is a foregone conclusion. If you don’t join in, we won’t succeed. Otherwise, the Protector General wouldn’t have taken such a big risk and sent me to discuss this with you.”
Sean clenched his fists and pondered.
“I have no reason to betray the royal family. I’m afraid I can’t destroy the current status quo just because a few royal family members are indulging in luxury.”
General Sean said this because he was unwilling to cooperate with the Protector General. There would be no good results if the two of them cooperated.
Stone felt helpless. If he couldn’t persuade him, it would mean he failed and would be in danger.
“The plan has developed to a point where the Protector General has full advantage of the situation. We have the strong on our side.”
Hearing this, Sean could not help but laugh. “Really? When did he get stronger than me? Not to mention me, he probably can’t even defeat the Grand Commander.”
“If he has such thoughts, tell him to give up as soon as possible. He won’t succeed. Even if I join him, the success rate isn’t 100%.”
Stone was getting desperate, as the possibility of persuading Sean was slimming by the second. Sean was deathly loyal to the royal family, and his loyalty could not be shaken!
Hill was also a little fl.u.s.tered. If they failed here, they would be traitors to the country. Of course, they would be promoted to riches beyond their imagination if they succeeded.
This enormous pressure made the two of them somewhat breathless.
They all knew that the Omar family could not bear the consequences of failing.
Sean became interested after hearing this. “Really? Someone like that joined you? Do tell.”
Sean was interested in the strong because of his warlike personality.
Stone looked at Lu Yu and said, “That’s right, it’s this gentleman beside me. He’s strong, and the Protector General will definitely succeed with his help!”
Sean looked at Lu Yu and laughed out loud after taking a good look at his young face.
“You mean this young man? Don’t joke around. He’s about the same age as my son. There’s no way he’s as strong as me, and I’m sure I only need to use one hand to defeat him.”
“This young man killed the Golden Griffin with his own hands. This alone is enough to prove his strength!” Stone continued to reason with General Sean.
Hearing this, Sean’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Lu Yu with a firm expression.
“Say what? He killed the Golden Griffin? What’s his name? Is he called Lu Yu?”
Stone was taken aback, as he did not expect Sean to know Lu Yu’s name in advance.
“Uh… that’s right; his name is Lu Yu…”
Sean suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Yu with hostility.
“I see; you were the one who killed Walter? How dare you kill the Emperor’s son? You looking for death?”
Hearing this, Stone and Hill were greatly shocked.
“What? You killed Walter? How… how is that possible?”
Stone stammered, as he did not expect Lu Yu to be so bold as to kill Walter. This act of murdering someone from the royal family was clearly against the Lionheart Empire!
“I didn’t kill Walter. It was Elizabeth.”
Lu Yu shrugged.
“That’s because you bewitched her. Without you, she wouldn’t have done that. The instigator is still you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Walter betrayed the Lionheart Empire. More importantly, he committed crimes against humanity. Killing him is the only right thing to do!”
Lu Yu answered calmly; he was not afraid of Sean’s pressure.
“Nonsense, you don’t have the right to kill Walter. He doesn’t deserve to die in your hands, especially when you even bewitched Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth was the apple of his eye and the little girl he loved the most. Among all the royal family members, Elizabeth was his favorite, and he always treated her like his own daughter.
“Unfortunately, you don’t have the ability to kill me.”
Lu Yu’s words provoked Sean.
He widened his eyes and glared at Lu Yu.
“What did you say? Are you saying that my strength is inferior to yours?”
Lu Yu spread out his hands and revealed a calm smile. “That’s right. Can’t you tell?”
Boom!
An immense amount of pressure burst out of Sean’s body!
The next moment, he swung his right fist, and the brutal iron fist smashed toward Lu Yu’s head!
Whoosh!
The fist smashed down with a gust, but it hit nothing.
Lu Yu’s body turned translucent, and Sean’s punch missed!
He looked at Lu Yu with a confused expression.
Lu Yu activated Void Evasion, and his body entered a state of nothingness. He would not receive any damage, but he could not cause any damage either.
“If you continue to attack me, I will kill you.”
Lu Yu’s eyes were sharp as he threatened Sean.
Sean was surprised. He could feel the thick, murderous aura coming from Lu Yu, which was terrifyingly strong. Lu Yu was definitely a powerhouse worth taking note of!
It was true that Lu Yu’s strength was way inferior to Sean’s. In actuality, their gaps were wider than he imagined.
After all, Lu Yu was at Diamond, while Sean was at Starlight. The difference in their strength was too great!
But Lu Yu had two divine artifacts, so he could make up for that ma.s.sive difference in strength. Of course, Lu Yu’s confidence was because of the existence of his three dragons!
As long as he wanted to, the three dragons would materialize simultaneously, and they would be more than able to tear Sean apart instantly.
“Your strength is extraordinary, but did you just shamelessly claim you can kill me? Aren’t you taking me too lightly?”
Being spoken to so harshly by such a young junior was irritating him.
“Let’s go out and fight in the martial arts field. If you win, I’ll let you do whatever you want. If you lose, understand the situation clearly and choose a side!”
As Lu Yu spoke, he turned around and walked toward the door.
Sean looked at Lu Yu’s back and got serious.
He did not expect to encounter such a powerful enemy when he returned to Lionheart City!
