Chapter 684: Boldness of Execution Stems From Superb Skill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu did not know what exactly had happened to Coral, but her current state made him feel uneasy.
Dong dong dong! Someone was knocking on the door. When he sensed the waves of energy from outside, he did not rush to open the door. A small, skinny and tanned middle-aged man stood outside the door. Lu Shu asked calmly, “Who are you looking for?”
The person did not speak. He turned and left. Lu Shu watched him as he left.
The person went down and said to the st.u.r.dy Metahuman, “There are no waves of energy.”
“Okay.” The st.u.r.dy Metahuman nodded his head. “Angelo, thanks for your work.”
Typically, Metahumans who could sense waves of energy held high positions within an organization. After all, such manpower was not common.
Angelo nodded his head and went out. Since Lu Shu was just an ordinary tourist, the Black Hand decided that there was no need to be worried about him. Even if he had ulterior motives, an ordinary person was no cause for alarm.
As the Black Hand went up to their rooms, another wave of people entered the inn.
Lu Shu stood at the window and saw a group of people walking in. He wordlessly drew the curtains, leaving only a small gap. He had seen these people before, as they had accompanied Francesco in the past.
He secretly opened the door, wanting to listen in on what was happening downstairs. The three members of the Black Hand had come up. They did not seem to recognize the Department of Faith Theory.
Lu Shu concluded that these three people were not from the Department of Faith Theory. So this was the case. This was becoming more and more interesting. Were there so many organizations interested in Coral? Did the organization that these three people belonged to want the Gungnir as well?
Lu Shu received a message from You Mingyu. “Have you encountered the Italian Black Hand? They had just done a check on you, but their sensory type Metahuman determined that you were an ordinary person.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. The Black Hand. He had heard of this organization before. They were a medium-sized organization in Italy. Their leader was a Cla.s.s B. He did not remember anything else about them. He did not take this organization to heart.
But You Mingyu did not ask Lu Shu how he had blocked the waves of energy from his body. Nalan Que had this ability as well. Furthermore, Lu Shu had entered many remains. It was normal to have this kind of ability.
Lu Shu suddenly asked, “I am looking over Coral. I think the Black Hand wants to do so as well. Can you confirm this? Also, send some detailed information about the Black Hand to me.”
Lu Shu decided that he would do his research on this second-rate Italian organization.
In less than three hours, You Mingyu sent Lu Shu the information just as night fell. There were no first-rate organizations in Italy. There was the Black Hand, and there was the Cartel. The two organizations minded their own business. Their leaders were both Cla.s.s B experts.
As opposed to the Black Hand, the Cartel was content to exercise sovereignty over Sardinia. They were fond of… local activities…
They were a rather pastoral organization… Lu Shu defined it as such.
They were not fervent about protecting the peace. Every holiday, the Metahumans from the organization would put up performances. This was the reason why the Metahumans here were slightly unusual.
It could not be considered as unusual either. Who said that Metahumans had to fight battles? Lu Shu felt that this was quite good…
When the Black Hand started to expand, conflict inevitably erupted between the Black Hand and the Cartel. The leader of the Black Hand personally came to Sardinia to fight the Cartel, but did not defeat them…
Not only that, it was said that the leader of the Black Hand even broke one of his t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es during the battle. You could find records of this even in the hospital.
Later on, he came to take revenge, but he did not emerge victorious. The matter was left unsettled…
The leader of the Black Hand was a 27 year old playboy called Patrick. He liked to fool around with celebrities on normal days. It was said that when he met Coral during a banquet, he was very shocked. He did not care about the difference in their abilities. He used his experience in picking up girls to chase after Coral. He even insisted that Coral marry him…
Ever since then, he did not fool around with other girls, but he could never find the opportunity to get close to Coral. He had run to Sweden to find her, but Coral had gone to the Deities.
After her battle with the Collection of G.o.ds, he was filled with admiration for her. A prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold.
Lu Shu finally understood. So he was looking for a chance to get close to Coral!
It was said that you had broken one of your t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es. And yet you still did not give up? The difference in power between the Black Hand and the Deities was too big. Was he not afraid that he would provoke the Deities and land his organization in trouble?
Was this what they meant by… men with one t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e were bold?!
Lu Shu sent a message. “Why didn’t you tell me about this important information?!”
You Mingyu seemed very surprised. “Is it that important?!”
Lu Shu looked out and saw a fleet of luxury cars outside the hotel where Coral was staying in. Their formation was very grand.
Someone opened the door of a Bentley. A man in a white suit stepped out of the car. His hair was tied into a short braid. For some reason, Lu Shu felt like hitting him…
A girl like Coral would definitely not like this kind of person. He was too boastful. What was he flaunting his wealth for? The Deities were definitely richer. Lu Shu complained under his breath.
As the man tried to walk into the hotel like no one else was present, two earth-type Metahumans suddenly blocked him. This was a sign that the Deities were not seeing any guests today.
Lu Shu felt that this was very interesting. The earth-type Metahumans had been keeping a lookout in secret. They were well-concealed…
Patrick, the leader of the Black Hand, probably did not think that he would not even be able to enter. But he did not make a big fuss. He took out a large box and pa.s.sed it to the earth-type Metahumans. Afterwards, he entered his car and left.
The two earth-type Metahumans took the large box into the hotel. Lu Shu did not know what was inside the box, but he was rather curious.
He then saw the two earth-type Metahumans walk out again. They opened the large and intricate box and left it on the street. It was filled with countless roses.
The two earth-type Metahumans started to give out roses to pa.s.sers-by. They did not leave even a stalk behind.
Lu Shu felt that this was an interesting way to deal with the roses. But he wanted to know what had happened to Coral, and whether there was anything that he could do to help.
The members of the Department of Faith Theory walked to the fourth floor. Lu Shu heard them enter the room next to the one beside his room. This was interesting. A small inn housed three groups of power, including himself.
The Black Hand was in between Lu Shu and the Department of Faith Theory.
