Spare Me, Great Lord!

Both of them became speechless. Lu Shu’s big eyes stared into the man’s small eyes. It was very awkward…

“Ah! I remember now! You are the famous Chinese martial arts master!” the man named Corrie shouted in a surprised and joyful voice.

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, all Asians looked similar to the Westerners too.

However, in the next instant, a ray of cold light flashed in front of Lu Shu’s eyes. He quickly bent backwards to dodge the attack. Actually the man had recognized Lu Shu the second he entered!

The owner of the restaurant yelled, “Go out! Don’t fight in my place! You’ll have to pay for it if you spoil my tables or chairs!”

But no one listened to him. All of the Pledge members rapidly drew near, trapping Lu Shu in the corner. In the next second, Lu Shu broke the wall on his left and escaped without a word!

The restaurant owner was dumbfounded. He had only mentioned tables and chairs, but this guy had broken his wall!

Lu Shu felt that he himself was unlucky too. Why had he happened to bump into the Pledge? He would not have been recognized if it was the Department of Faith Theory or the Danke!

The world was too small with all these enemies!

The Pledge ran after Lu Shu at once. Meanwhile, most of the citizens were gathering along the streets, awaiting the Horse Racing Festival performance. But they saw the chase first.

At first, the Pledge members’ standardized uniform gave the audience an illusion that they were here to stage a show. But soon they were rendered disappointed as nothing entertaining happened.

Surprisingly, the commoners here would only spectate fights between Practitioners. They were not afraid at all. Lu Shu found himself in a dilemma. Despite his urge to kill all his enemies, he would do himself a disservice if he took the move first on this island.

Take for example, the midnight fight the night before had been sparked by a competition for the prime surveillance location. However, halfway through their fight, a large organization joined in and this morning You Mingyu informed Lu Shu that both of the medium-scale organizations had been wiped out…

Nowadays, there were simply too many organizations who wanted to watch on and benefit from other people’s conflicts!

In the meantime, Lu Shu saw a group of acrobats coming towards him. The clown kept bowing his thanks to the crowd. At the same time, he threw seven balls into the sky and received them one by one continuously.

Lu Shu was pleasantly surprised. They were the Cartel acrobats! He ducked into the team without hesitation and soon emerged on the other side!

When the Pledge came near, they pushed through the acrobats, causing a mess.

Immediately they were blocked. The clown stared at them and said calmly, “This is very rude, buddy.”

The members of the Pledge were annoyed and confused. “Can’t you see that we are Practitioners?”

After ten seconds of silence, the clown said, “Then can you see that we are Metahumans?”

All of the Pledge members were stunned.

WHAT? A bunch of Metahumans doing acrobatics on the streets? Are you all crazy?!

The clown hissed, “Beat them up!”

“Wait! We are chasing someone. We are not your enemies!” the leader of the Pledge roared.

Meanwhile, Cartel members on the periphery of the acrobatic team had already started to evacuate the civilians politely. “Please excuse us. Give us some space to fight. We don’t want any of you injured…”

On the other side, Lu Shu slowed down and walked away from the crowd. Suddenly he froze, as he saw Francesco standing behind a white-haired elder in humble reverence.

The energy waves from the elder were as scary as a heavy sea. Nevertheless, contrary to Nie Ting’s pure waves, there was something unusual swimming in the elder’s. Besides, his own aura was slightly messy too.

He was the man that Lu Shu had wanted to see the least. The Bishop.

In Lu Shu’s original speculation, he might not visit Sardinia due to the serious wounds caused by the Saint. If that was the case, Coral and himself would have been able to handle any and all the problems on the island.

But here he was. It was this moment that Lu Shu understood how important the World Tree was to the Department of Faith Theory.

Luckily, though, Lu Shu did not fight with the Pledge. Otherwise, he might have been ambushed if he was not careful enough.

So what now? Lu Shu hesitated. Should he make a Class A enemy just for Coral?

Lu Shu had already recognized it when he witnessed the fight between the Bishop and the Saint. He knew he was no rival to a Class A even with his successful ascension to Class B. He would be beaten flat.

Suddenly Lu Shu turned and took to his heels. There was bound to be something that might seem crazy. For some reason, Lu Shu decided to be crazy for once for Coral, the girl who had said that to him.

“Lu Shu, please stay with me for the rest of our lives. If you say no, I will wait till you agree. If not, I will think of other ways.”

Actually he was not asleep at that time. He simply did not know how to respond.

Lu Shu ran back to the spaghetti restaurant, whose owner was still staring at the hole in his wall, distressed. Lu Shu shoved a stack of US dollars into the owner’s hands and said, “I’m truly sorry! I won’t let this happen next time!”

Then he ran off again, leaving behind the owner who was confused over his words. “He’s still thinking about a second time…?”

In fact, the owner had not expected his return. He had admitted that it was his unlucky day because he had not asked them to pay for anything other than tables and chairs anyway…

Lu Shu stopped outside Coral’s hotel. He looked up at the window on the third floor. It was where the paper was once pasted.

At this moment, Coral was discussing internal affairs with another Deities member. Suddenly, there was a change in her absent expression…

A smile flickered on her lips, and her eyes were all smiles too. She looked like the most beautiful flower in the world, blooming under the sun.

Coral stood up and almost glued her pretty face to the window glass. The man who could bring her the most joy was right there. He had really come for her as promised.

The other Deities member looked outside the window too. He saw Lu Shu, all smiles, standing outside the hotel yard.

He recognized him because he had been to the Koh Chang remains too.

Now, he looked at Coral and Lu Shu…

“The heck!”
