Spare Me, Great Lord!

Xia Rensheng and the rest should still be at sea. All the members of the team had returned, except for Lu Shu, who was still rushing about in Africa.

To be honest, Lu Shu was very disappointed with this trip to Africa. Leaving his official advancement to Class B aside, he had broken into a vault, only to leave with a pile of essential balms. What was this?!

Earlier, Lu Shu had thought that Li Yixiao may not want the essential balms, but Li Yixiao really took away 90% of the essential balms. He did not know whether he would see the dignified Heavenly King selling essential balms at the black market. He may even sell the balms as wholesale goods for a lower price. He would probably… be able to earn about 1000 dollars, right?

The team’s mission was originally to go to Europe and form an alliance with some organizations. But according to the latest information, all their tasks had been canceled. They only had to form an alliance with the Deities.

But the problem was, why were they tasked to protect Coral? Was she in danger?

“What happened to Coral? Why does she have to be protected?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

“This is only a guess,” You Mingyu replied. “Previously, there was information that the foundation of the Bishop of the Department of Faith Theory had crumbled, like Chen Baili. But we do not know how he managed to advance to Class A.”

“I thought that it was impossible to advance once someone’s foundation had crumbled?” Lu Shu felt that this was very bizarre.

“Before he had advanced, someone had discovered that Francesco had appeared in the sacred burial garden of the Department of Faith Theory. Later on, someone realized that a grave had seemingly been unsealed. We have grounds to believe that Francesco may have taken something away from the sacred garden to help the Bishop to advance. As for what exactly the item is, we do not know,” said You Mingyu. “Thus, I feel that the Bishop had avoided fighting the Puppet Master and used indirect attacks against the Saint, because there is a huge defect in his strength…”

“Wait.” Lu Shu interrupted him. “Your analysis is very logical. I understand what you are saying. But what does this have to do with Coral?”

“Coral has a branch of the World Tree,” You Mingyu said with certainty. “Which is the Gungnir. Since Coral awakened the Odin bloodline and drew the Gungnir from her spine, the members of the Department of Faith Theory have started to become very active near the Deities’ sphere of influence. It is too much of a coincidence. We suspect that the Department of Faith Theory wants the Gungnir.”

“What do they want the Gungnir for?” Lu Shu asked angrily, “Must they steal the weapons of others?”

“The mystery of the World Tree has appeared in too many ancient records. It is not only a weapon,” You Mingyu explained. “Heavenly King Shi has analyzed that the World Tree may have the ability to help the Bishop to completely recover his foundation. But no one has ever seen the complete World Tree, so we are not sure.”

“So the Department of Faith Theory wants the World Tree.” Lu Shu acted as if he was very relaxed and asked, “So what will happen to Coral if she loses the Gungnir? Can the Gungnir be taken out of her body just like that?”

“She will die.”

When Lu Shu heard these two words, he was silent. “Okay, I got it.”

There was a lot of pressure. Lu Shu sighed. The Department of Faith Theory had a Class A. Although they may be on the weaker side, they were still a Class A.

No one in the world had dared to provoke the Heavenly Network in the open precisely because the Heavenly Network had Class A’s.

But… if it were some other girl, Lu Shu would be scared. But if it were Coral, Lu Shu felt that he could not escape.

Because… Lu Shu was not quite sure why either.

Life was like a multiple choice question. But there were times when you had no choice.

“These are all our guesses.” You Mingyu sent another message. “Heavenly King Shi said that this is to increase the interactions between you and Coral.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

Were you crazy? What kind of sudden twist was this?

In any case, the Heavenly Network was a large organization. Would they allow their members to sell their charms? Lu Shu knew that the Heavenly Network would not obtain information using their charms.

But, if they could not sell a female’s charms, they could sell a male’s? Was this not sexual discrimination?

“So everything you had said just now was nonsense?” Lu Shu sent the message with a dark expression on his face.

“It was not completely nonsense. Some of the guesses were based on facts. Everything is true. But based on our judgment, the Department of Faith Theory will not act rashly,” said You Mingyu.

“Oh.” Lu Shu held his phone expressionlessly. “I got it.”

He still had to go anyway. If he did not go, he would not be relieved. Although he could not defeat a Class A, he still had to try his best. After all… Coral was rich.

The cross-country vehicle continued north. The two people sat upright. There was a trident behind each of their necks. They did not dare to even move.

They did not even dare to pick up the satellite phone that kept ringing while they drove. Lu Shu removed the phone and shoved it into the Seal of Lands.

After driving for eight hours, they finally arrived at the sea. The two people were very obedient throughout the entire journey. The driver stopped the vehicle by the sea. “We’ve arrived.”

Lu Shu, who was deep in thought, recovered and said, “Oh, thanks. How much is it?”

The driver was dumbfounded. “I don’t have any sort of meter…”

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Lu Shu realized that he had asked the wrong thing. The two people were about to spit blood. Who would ride a taxi while pointing a trident at the driver?!

This was too much! He was not a taxi driver! Even if he was, who would dare to turn on the meter? You stink!

“From Irc Smith’s distress, +666!”

“From Alva…”

The two mercenary soldiers were very nervous. They had been obedient the entire journey because they knew that this young man was much stronger than they were. Thus, they were very afraid that they would be killed when they reached their destination.

“You two can go,” Lu Shu said. He was waiting for them to leave before he jumped into the ocean.

But the two of them did not move. Lu Shu was silent. “I can’t pay you if you didn’t turn on the meter…”

The two mercenary soldiers turned and left. They had met a crazy man!

“From Irc Smith’s distress, +666!”

“From Alva…”

After the two soldiers left, Lu Shu jumped down from a cliff into the water. He dived into the azure water and swam towards Sardinia like a fish.

Lu Shu felt a freedom that he had not experienced before underwater. This was his first time speeding away underwater since he had officially advanced to Class B.

He had seen the speed at which Chen Baili and Nie Ting flew at. Lu Shu felt that he was only slightly slower than them now.
