Although amused, Zhong Yutang did not forget about his job. He double-confirmed a few details with Lu Shu, who told him the truth to the best of his abilities.

Zhong Yutang said, “This time, the Saint and the Bishop were both wounded. A surprising twist. At the moment, the Department of Faith Theory and the Phoenix Society have begun their retreat. Probably the Phoenix Society will also believe that Howard’s dead, but the Department of Faith Theory may question your identity, or Howard’s, to be more precise. They may not think of you.”

In any case, the combat abilities that Lu Shu showed in the sea was enough for suspicion. Luckily, he did not reveal too much of his power in front of Francesco’s team, because he did not get the chance to, due to the electrocution.

In other words, they did not have enough evidence to justify their suspicions. Hence, they could not be sure whether their intuition was right.

“Anyways, be more careful in future operations. Today Xia Rensheng has just found a secret practitioner in the group who tried to profit from spreading the information on our team, including the times you left the group,” Zhong Yutang said, “We all have to get used to things like this. We are lucky this time that the traitor was caught before he acted and other people are clear headed at the moment. But your stay in Europe won’t be short. It’s very possible that someone in your team may betray you. Thus, you have to be more careful.”

Lu Shu nodded. “Understood.”

Zhong Yutang had a point. Although secret practitioners were convenient tools to use, they had no loyalty whatsoever.

“I’ve specially told Xia Rensheng that you have other unimportant missions, so he won’t suspect you again for leaving. In addition, the Department of Faith Theory and the Phoenix Society have both given up the mineral reserves due to the fight. It’s our chance to take it down fast and well. As for how to do it, wait till the support arrives. They are your good old friends.” With that, Zhong Yutang hung up the call. He was still worried about whether Lu Shu would find trouble with him for laughing at him earlier.

Interesting. It turned out that the Heavenly Network was the beneficiary of the grand battle between the Department and the Society.

Truth be told, the Heavenly Network would be the one who called the shots in the absence of those two organizations. People like Bennett posed no threat to it at all.

Besides, the Heavenly Network had always adopted a softer approach in alliance with foreign forces because strong powers needed support when they were held back by other rivals.

Lu Shu walked towards the villa slowly. The walk seemed painfully long now, even though he did not feel so when he was running for his life…

Lu Shu felt a bit sluggish after the fight. He needed to relieve himself from the stress earlier.

People were all made of flesh and blood. It took time for one to regain his vitality after a hard battle.

It was already midnight when Lu Shu returned to the villa. Once he opened the door, he saw everyone in the hall, locking their eyes on Lu Shu.

Lin Ganyu laughed coldly. “Look at you, living an easy life. You disappeared when we were busy at work. Do you have any idea what happened today? How can you act alone during this critical period?”

Liu Fan said, his face darkened, “Captain, I think there’s something wrong with this Li Teng.”

Lu Shu did not mind them. He glimpsed at Lin Ganyu and asked, “What happened today?”

“The war has begun between the Department of Faith Theory and the Phoenix Society. Now, their people are in retreat,” replied Lin Ganyu, “We’ve done our job well. We are definitely getting EO’s mineral reserves!”

Lin Ganyu was really proud, stressing that the credits were all theirs. Other people had temporarily forgotten about their grudges against Lu Shu as well. All of them gave a hearty laugh.

Lu Shu was confused. “How’s that your job well done? What did you do?”

They had done nothing! The Department of Faith Theory and the Phoenix Society had decided to fight themselves, not because of this bunch of people over here. Speaking of which, Lu Shu should be recognized for luring out the Bishop using Howard’s face, which gave the Saint an opportunity to fight.

Lu Shu was suspecting it might have been Howard’s mission to lure out the Bishop.

But how was that anything to do with these people in this villa? Where did you all get your pride from…

“From Lin Ganyu’s distress, +299!”

“From Liu Li’s distress, +199!”

“From…”

The mood was dampened. It was fine if you could leave it like that! Why did you have to point it out?!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. A hearty but slightly annoying laughter came in. “Surprise! My arrival has scared all of them away…”

Lu Shu drew a startled breath. He was wondering who were the “good old friends” Zhong Yutang was referring to, and his guess was proven right. It was Li Yixiao!

Beside him, it was Nalan Que!

Recently, Nalan Que’s head was full of how to be a good wife, and all her family matters had been cast aside…

For some reason, Lu Shu had a hunch that Bennett would soon be dead upon seeing Li Yixiao…

Usually, Li Yixiao would only be sent to remains, but not for foreign events. The rationale behind was self-explanatory. Hence, Nie Ting’s message was clear by sending Li Yixiao here, they were planning on fighting.

It was known that the metals in the mineral reserves could effectively strengthen the hardness of standard weapons. Thus, they were of good use.

Before Lu Shu could figure everything out, Li Yixiao called over to those in the villa, “What are you waiting for? Follow me and destroy the EO’s headquarters! Let’s party afterwards!”

Lu Shu was shocked. So that was your plan? Was it because… you could get some money to spend from their headquarters?

Lu Shu felt that was probably the truth. How could Li Yixiao care about things like reserves or missions? His only desire was money!

Xia Rensheng kept quiet. They should follow a Heavenly King’s orders strictly. But before they went out, Nalan Que said coldly, “I’ll keep your space bag.”

She was preventing Li Yixiao from hiding his money in his space bag! Smart move!

Li Yixiao laughed out loud at once. “No rush! We don’t have to find them today! We shall take a rest first. The trip here was so tiring!”
