Chapter 658: Beware of Fraud
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was widely believed that there were many gentlemen in Europe. However, contrary to what was commonly thought to be a high-cla.s.s, elegant event, European parliamentary sessions were in fact as rowdy as a marketplace. Flying paper and heated arguments were not a rarity. Usually, the venue would be in a mess after the end of each session.
It was the same for the race debate, where three parties poured curses at one another – the commoners, the organizations who wanted to enslave commoners, and those who insisted everyone was human and consequently should be treated equally. After all, each of them had differing beliefs.
At the same time, the Deities had to condemn other organizations while being chided by commoners.
Other organizations found the Deities incomprehensible. Shouldn’t they be on the same line since the Deities also agreed they were a superior species above the human beings? So why were they against other organizations too…
In the end, when commoners were clear about the Deities’ stand, they also felt sorry for mistaking the Deities as their opponents in the first place…
As a result, the Deities had gained significant popularity among the European ma.s.ses. They were welcomed wherever they went…
Since the start of the Spirit Qi era, it was believed that Western countries were more open to Metahumans, who were able to do business freely or earn glory for themselves.
At that time, Metahumans in foreign countries were so popular that nightclub girls would naturally come and flirt with them. Meanwhile, Chinese Pract.i.tioners had to train extremely hard everyday under the Heavenly Network’s watch…
Back then, the favorite topic among Daoyuan Cla.s.s students was the luxurious life of foreign Pract.i.tioners. The gra.s.s was indeed greener on the other side!
They could not even be loud at Internet cafes, because the Heavenly Network would hunt them down if they used violence to resolve a conflict with commoners…
Therefore, pampered by an unrestricted environment, foreign Metahumans in certain parts of the world were starting to get too ambitious. At first, the commoners were merely onlookers, but their att.i.tude towards Metahumans soured when their lives were adversely affected by the latter.
That was a fact. People were always changing. Some people used to admire foreign societies because they allowed personal possession of guns, but they soon thought that such gun policies were too dangerous after multiple shooting incidents.
Often times, people’s mindset was easily swayed by potential benefits, while in fact one should choose what was best suited for themselves.
Large organizations had rules to follow, but secret pract.i.tioners did not.
Meanwhile, the arrogant superhuman Francesco was burning in anger as he stared at the beast feces he had just wiped off from his face…
It was probably the most unpleasant fight he had encountered. Shouldn’t all pract.i.tioner battles be as cool as the one the Saint and the Bishop were having now? Please, they were flying in the sky!
Lu Shu almost destroyed Francesco’s colorful expectations of pract.i.tioners…
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly shouted from in front, “Honestly speaking, we are not foes or anything, right? Why not step back and take down the Heavenly Network together?”
He was buying time. No matter what, it was impossible for him to attack the Heavenly Network with the Department of Faith Theory. Furthermore, given the intense battle between the Bishop and the Saint at the moment, the two organizations could never possibly be partners again.
Hence, Lu Shu was just talking nonsense. But it was interpreted differently by Francesco. He looked at himself in disbelief. Did Howard just mention that they were not foes?!
At this instant, Francesco’s expression changed. All of them had heard an unusual sound.
After three hours of the chase, Francesco finally understood what Lu Shu was up to. They heard the sound of waves!
He wanted to jump into the sea!
Indeed, Howard might be able to escape as the movement of Francesco’s team would be slowed down in the sea. A sense of admiration emerged in Francesco’s heart…
In the next instant, he realized something was wrong. “Why does a fire-type Metahuman want to lead us to the sea? It must be a fraud!”
“Could there be support, for example water-type experts hidden in the sea? If that’s the case, we will be in danger if we follow him down!”
Logical deductions from a group of clever brains. However, never would they have expected that the real Howard was dead, and the man in front of them was the water-type expert himself!
Lu Shu could defeat Francesco easily in the water, although he could not do so on land!
This was the advantage of being on his own turf!
At this instant, Lu Shu wondered how it would be like to release his lightning aurablades in water. He might turn into an electric eel if the three hundred lightning aurablades were brought out simultaneously…
Yet, the pity was that the number of lightning aurablades producible remained unchanged despite the increase in his sword prototypes. Lu Shu had tried to poke his finger into a wall socket too, but nothing happened except for him getting a bad electric shock.
He also tried to attract lightning in a thunderstorm. Nonetheless, it did not work either, not counting the painful lightning strike he got. He had done all those in secret, because Lu Xiaoyu would surely laugh at him if she found out…
Hence, Lu Shu’s top concern at the moment was how to increase the number of his lightning aurablades. In any case, he could not possibly invite divine punishment on himself. He would not even be able to survive without the four golden bird pillars…
Speaking of which… where was Lu Xiaoyu now?
There was no time for distractions. Lu Shu was only a few hundred meters away from the cliff. The sea was right in front of his eyes.
Pretending to be in a desperate escape, he hurried on. At least some people would follow him down, if he could not fool the entire group, right?
