Chapter 980 All Villains
At night, the celebration banquet began.
The entire Dolan family was gathered here. They were all dressed in formal attire, holding wine glasses, and chatting with each other.
After chatting for a while, they sat down and started eating dinner.
Osborne stood in the middle, raised the cup in his hand, and knocked it, saying, “Let us celebrate the safe return of Elena. From now on, everyone in the family must take care of her, protect her, and never let her leave our home.”
Then, everyone raised their glasses and drank.
The banquet officially began. Everyone ate and drank, chatting and laughing with each other; not many people talked about Elena.
It seemed that they didn’t really like Elena.
“Don’t you have any good friends in your family?” Lu Yu asked.
“Of course, White is my number one friend.”
“Which one is White?”
Lu Yu looked around and asked.
“A white cat that I raise.” Elena smiled awkwardly.
“So you have almost no friends? Why aren’t they willing to befriend you?”
“You’re a nice person,” Helen asked curiously. “This shouldn’t have happened.”
Elena shrugged helplessly. “I think it’s because of my talent. My talent is too dazzling, and my family thinks that it will bring disaster to them.”
“What kind of bullshit logic is this? Shouldn’t they be glad that you have such amazing talent?”
Lu Yu asked in confusion.
“I don’t know either. That’s what they think.”
Lu Yu suddenly frowned. “Unless…”
Unless these people knew about the Demon Blood Lord’s situation and knew that the Demon Blood Lord would forcefully take away talented youngsters to nourish himself.
Even if they were not made into human blood potions, they would still be taken away from the family to be part of his army.
Therefore, this was not a good thing for them. On the contrary, those with ordinary talent who worked hard to become decent cultivators were more valued by the family.
Even if Elena came back now, in their eyes, she would be recaptured sooner or later.
After guessing the situation, Lu Yu was speechless. These people were too heartless and did not treat their families like family at all.
In their eyes, Elena had already become a commodity that could be bought and sold to negotiate with the Demon Blood Lord.
Lu Yu suddenly realized that if this were the case, wouldn’t Osborne also have such an idea?
Even though Elena was his daughter.
Lu Yu had a bold guess in his heart. It might not be that there were a few traitors who colluded with the Orlando family, but that the entire family was problematic.
“It seems like we’ve come to the wrong place,” Lu Yu said as he looked at Elena.
Elena was still confused, not understanding what Lu Yu meant.
Soon, the banquet came to an end.
Osborne came to Elena’s table, looked at her, and said, “Daughter, I’ve always kept your room clean. Go back and stay at night. As for your friends, I’ve arranged a villa for them. There are a lot of rooms there, enough for them to sleep.”
Elena nodded slightly. “No problem.”
She stood up and walked toward the villa area under the lead of the two family guards.
Then, Osborne looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile, “My butler will take you to your place.”
At this moment, a white-haired old man walked out. He looked at them and smiled. “Hello, young people. Please follow me.”
Lu Yu and the others stood up obediently and left the banquet with the old man.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the manor.
The butler brought Lu Yu to a villa. The white villa in front of him looked elegant, with an exquisite pavilion on a lawn.
“Sir, this is your residence. Please go in and rest.”
Lu Yu moved in under their arrangements. After entering the villa, the four of them laid on the sofa and started chatting.
“The banquet went smoothly. Nothing unexpected happened.”
“The food here is really good,” Helen said. “It’s much better than what I had at home.”
The Empress looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Elena has been taken away. Do you think she will be in danger?”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Not necessarily. She just came back, so these people shouldn’t dare touch her now.”
“What danger?” Shirley asked curiously. “Isn’t Elena already home? There shouldn’t be any danger here.”
Lu Yu shook his head slightly, and his expression became serious. “Not necessarily. It’s hard to say whether they will sell out Elena or not.”
“According to what you said, doesn’t that mean the entire family will agree to sell Elena?”
Shirley found it hard to believe. She had always thought that only a few people in the Dolan family had such thoughts and that they were traitors to the family.
She couldn’t believe that the entire family had such thoughts collectively.
Wouldn’t that mean that Elena was all alone and had no help?
“That’s impossible. Her father is the head of the family. Would he agree to this?”
Lu Yu sighed. “Can he not agree? They don’t seem to have any other choice. Ever since the news of Elena’s talent was revealed, they’ve been in trouble.”
“If they don’t hand over Elena, they will die.”
At this moment, Lu Yu could vaguely hear the footsteps outside gradually gathering.
The Nightmare Dragon’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
“Master, there are many people gathered outside. They seem to be surrounding the entire villa.”
When Lu Yu heard this, his anger surged. These people were definitely here to make a move!
“They probably can’t wait anymore. Get ready to fight them.”
Shirley was shocked. “Huh? Fight? Fight who? We just got here and were just drinking and chatting.”
Helen also found it strange. “I think they are quite harmonious. Will they attack us?”
The Empress trusted Lu Yu unconditionally. She had already taken out her weapon, her pair of daggers.
Helen quickly ran to the window and looked out. There were really quite a number of people gathered here. They surrounded this place, and they seemed to be holding weapons.
Shirley panicked. “What should we do? We are now in the enemy’s base. Can we kill our way out?”
Lu Yu took out his Stellar Piercing Demonic Sword and prepared to fight the group of people outside.
“Since they want to make a move, then let them. I won’t show mercy to any of them!”
Lu Yu held his long sword, and his arms turned into dragon claws as he walked toward the door.
He kicked the door open. Facing the crowd, he shouted, “Come at me together! Do you think I’m afraid of you?!”
