Chapter 1097: All Depended on Relative Strength
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Could you be more specific?” Sakurai Yaeko’s eyes lit up.
There were times when the intuition of a strong woman could not be underestimated. She might be able to understand everything just from your gaze.
Sakurai Yaeko knew that Lu Shu had returned from the Luniverse. How could she not know? She was one of the people who cared most about Lu Shu’s whereabouts.
Thus, when she encountered danger, would the young man return if he knew that she was in peril?!
Sakurai Yaeko had not been very sure, but the warm gaze last night caused her to lose sleep. She did not sleep that night. She depended on training to stabilize her feelings.
Last night, she looked through her wallet again and again. She looked at the few hundred thousand yen in her wallet. Although this was not a large amount of money, and she only had a dozen or so notes, she felt a.s.sured when she looked at them.
This disturbing night finally caused Sakurai Yaeko to decide that she would take a look for herself. She wanted to know what Matsuyama Shouji was up to.
Sakurai Yaeko had already understood what was happening. She was happy, but not because she had found him.
She was happy because he had come when she was in danger.
They had not been crowned with their new ident.i.ties when they last met. If they reunited, one of them was the Ninth Heavenly King of the Heavenly Network and the head of the Wei Wu Army, while the other was the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds.
Suddenly, Sakurai Yaeko was perturbed. Would there be a distance between them because of their changed ident.i.ties? She did not think so.
Saitou Rin watched as Sakurai Yaeko turned and left. She saw a smile on Sakurai Yaeko’s face that could not be concealed. Was this the reserved leader of the Collection of G.o.ds in the legends?
It was said that Sakurai Yaeko was very strict and cold. Back then, when the Conservatives completely eliminated the Jingoists in the Collection of G.o.ds, everyone remembered the ruthless killing.
Saitou Rin, and a majority of the Collection of G.o.ds members, did not know that this was like the cherry blossom kimono and the black formal wear. Sakurai Yaeko had two moods.
“Find that taxi. I want to know where he is,” said Sakurai Yaeko. Then, she sat in the back of the black SUV like a queen.
Saitou Rin did not hear this. She was thinking about what interactions Matsuyama Shouji had with Sakurai Yaeko. At first, she could see that the Collection of G.o.ds was investigating Matsuyama Shouji. Had her explanation caused the Collection of G.o.ds to give up on this investigation?
She sighed lightly. Had something happened?
Lu Shu wobbily sauntered near the entrance of Kokus.h.i.+kan University. His taxi had been parked elsewhere.
The Heavenly Network had prepared a new ident.i.ty for Lu Shu, but he did not use it. He had decided to make full use of the ident.i.ty of Matsuyama Shouji before taking on the new ident.i.ty.
A new ident.i.ty had been prepared for him as he knew that his ident.i.ty as Matsuyama Shouji had been destroyed last night. Saitou Rin and the slave Nakagawa Masaharu had interactions with each other. If spies had appeared in the Collection of G.o.ds, he might have been targeted by the slave owner. Thus, it was better to prepare an ident.i.ty for him. This was the advantage of having the support of the Heavenly Network.
He did know that the taxi he had parked a few kilometers away had been surrounded by a large number of Collection of G.o.ds members. The car had been overturned.
But after some surveillance, they still could not find Lu Shu. Now, the members of the Collection of G.o.ds were scared. They did not know whether Sakurai Yaeko would flare up if they had lost Lu Shu.
Although Sakurai Yaeko was very cruel towards her enemies, she was not very harsh when she thought about her own people. This was the reason many Conservatives were h.e.l.l-bent on following her.
But even if she was tolerant, she could not make any mistakes in her actions.
The member who was in charge of finding Lu Shu took the plunge and reported to Sakurai Yaeko. “We’ve lost him… we can’t find him anywhere.”
The members of the Collection of G.o.ds, who were waiting for their punishment, suddenly heard Sakurai Yaeko laugh. “That’s normal. If you are able to find him, then that’s not him.”
The members of the Collection of G.o.ds were puzzled. Was this a puzzle… or a tongue twister?
Sakurai Yaeko meant that if they were unable to find him, it was not because they were incapable. It was because Sakurai Yaeko knew that Lu Shu was very powerful.
What kind of deity was Matsuyama Shouji?!
The large organizations had suffered heavy losses. The Collection of G.o.ds had dropped to a second-rate organization, but became a first-rate organization after the battle at Tiger’s Back.
Was the Collection of G.o.ds stronger? No, the other organizations had become weaker… whether they were a first or second-rate organization all depended on their relative strength…
Not many organizations on Earth could be considered powerful, except the Heavenly Network.
But the Collection of G.o.ds had no intention of competing with the Heavenly Network. To the Heavenly Network, they did not have the concept of first or second-rate organizations. They were the benchmark. They were invincible…
Hm? One of Sakurai Yaeko’s most trusted female Pract.i.tioners looked at her. There was a rumor in the core of the Collection of G.o.ds. They knew that back then, the Ninth Heavenly King had killed Nogiwa Taken.o.bu, Takas.h.i.+ma Tairatsu, and the rest. But what was most interesting about the rumor was that there were feelings between the Ninth Heavenly King and the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds…
No one in the Collection of G.o.ds hated Lu Shu. They supported the strong. They would respect and admire whoever was able to kill the leaders of the Collection of G.o.ds.
Thus, if someone asked which overseas Pract.i.tioner the Collection of G.o.ds admired, the first person would be Nie Ting, and the second person would be the Ninth Heavenly King… some people even felt that they were tied at first place. After all, Nie Ting had never killed any leaders from the Collection of G.o.ds…
At this moment, the middle-aged female Pract.i.tioner who typically served Sakurai Yaeko suspected that the Ninth Heavenly King had arrived. It was rare for Sakurai to be so free of worry.
But she did not tell anyone about this. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If that person came, they would not die under the hands of those with marks on their bodies who caused so much trouble for them.
She no longer had to worry about Sakurai Yaeko’s safety. She suddenly felt very relaxed.
Lu Shu slowly walked around Kokus.h.i.+kan University. He was not thinking about whether his ident.i.ty would be exposed, but how to use the Metahuman in Kokus.h.i.+kan University to reel in his prey.
Lu Shu remembered that Saitou Rin was from the Faculty of Law. Thus, the Metahuman should be from the Faculty of Law as well. His backup ident.i.ty was a student from the Faculty of Science and Engineering. It was ready for him to use any time. The original person had already left Tokyo silently.
This was Lu Shu’s first time here. He did not know where the Faculty of Law was. He walked around for a long time, but could not find it. He was about to ask someone for directions when he was pulled aside by someone. “h.e.l.lo, how do I go to the Faculty of Law?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Why was his line stolen? He was silent for two seconds. Then, he said, “Walk straight for 300 meters, then turn right. Walk another 100 meters before turning left. There are a lot of people there, so ask them for directions.”
“From Oda Masako’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. The person was going in the same direction as him. He observed her and realized that she was wearing a pair of gloves. Was it to conceal her mark of a slave?
Lu Shu observed her even more closely. There were waves of energy from her. She was a Cla.s.s C.
