Chapter 619 Coming For Him

Lu Yu and the others were taken aback. They had no idea the military would find them so quickly when it had only been a little over an hour!

"Did he say that the slaughtered team leader was named Vince?" Lu Yu inquired.

The bodyguard gave a nod. "How did you find out? Do you know who he is?"

"Let that person in," Lu Yu said to Elizabeth. "Let's sit down and talk since he's here to look for me."

The bodyguard was taken aback when he heard this. He eventually realized that Lu Yu was the one who had massacred the team and was right in front of him!

Elizabeth nodded in agreement as she looked at Lu Yu. "Okay, let him in. We'll talk about it."

"Yes!"

The bodyguard affirmed and turned to leave. After a while, he returned with a burly man behind him.

"I've brought him here, Your Highness. I'll take my leave."

A soldier walked in and got down on one knee in front of Elizabeth. "Your Highness, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I need to ask you something," he said respectfully.

"Ask away," Elizabeth replied calmly.

"Your Highness, I am here to inform you that we are looking for a murderer. They killed a 100-man team, and it was a massacre!"

"We were just at the scene and noticed the footprints had vanished, proving that the murderer had been teleported away."

"Not only that but all of the teleportation scrolls in the deceased's storage rings were stolen, including the one that can teleport us to you."

"As a result, our preliminary assessment of our adversary is that they've surrounded your stronghold. Please give us the go-ahead for the search to begin right away!

The messenger spoke quickly. This seemed to be a pressing issue.

On the other hand, Elizabeth picked up the teacup and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

"I'm well aware of the subject you're discussing. Are you the one on the lookout for the murderer?"

"That's correct, and our team captain ordered that we find the murderer. This is important, so please help us out!"

Elizabeth let out a snort. "What if I refuse to cooperate?"

The messenger was rendered speechless. "We... We would have no choice but only to search the vicinity. We would like to refrain from displeasing you."

"I'm not going to waste more of my time. You've found the murderer you're looking for, and he's the one before you."

The messenger quickly turned to face Lu Yu and looked at him intently. "You're the one who killed our team of soldiers?"

"They sure like to run their mouth, offending the wrong people," Lu Yu answered casually. "So, I've passed judgment on them, and it's as simple as that."

The messenger was so enraged that veins protruded from his head. "How dare you kill our brothers!" he gritted his teeth. "You're dead! Once our captain finds out, he will not let you off the hook!"

"Do you think your team captain cares about those 100 lives?" Lu Yu asked, shrugging his shoulders. "He is only concerned with this."

Lu Yu gestured to the Golden Retriever next to him.

"What kind of nonsense are you on about? Do you think a hundred of our brothers and soldiers are lesser than a dog?"

"This is your Third Prince's dog," Lu Yu continued. "It can assist you in locating the Third Prince. As long as he has this dog, your captain will find the Third Prince and raise his ranks."

The messenger lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and thought momentarily. He soon had most of the reasons worked out.

"Cut the crap! You are nothing but a murderer, and there's nothing you can do to run from that! You will be following me to receive your punishment!"

The messenger stated firmly that he didn't take Lu Yu seriously. It was as if Lu Yu was already his prisoner.

"What a drag it is to waste more time on you. I won't be accompanying you, and you aren't qualified to judge me anyway."

The messenger was further enraged. "How dare you say we are unqualified to pass judgment on you! Who do you think you are?"

"If you do not cooperate, you will be sorry when our captain takes action!"

"When that time comes, he will definitely be the one regretting," Lu Yu replied impatiently.

"You're quite the arrogant brat. Fine, what do you think about this proposal? Our captain will be fighting you; do you dare take up the challenge?"

"If you have the strength to defeat our captain, it proves we aren't fit to judge you guilty. You may depart then."

"However, if you are not a match for our captain, you must accept your trial!"

The messenger proposed this. After all, if their captain couldn't beat Lu Yu, judging Lu Yu guilty or not was meaningless.

Lu Yu was getting agitated. He couldn't even be bothered to fight these people, as it was an utter waste of time.

"Fine, summon your captain. If you want to fight, let's do it."

"Lu Yu is very busy and doesn't have time to accompany you in a one-on-one fight!" Elizabeth chided the messenger.

"Your Highness, perhaps you have no feelings for our soldiers, but I'm different," the messenger stated solemnly in opposition to Elizabeth. "We eat and sleep together like real brothers!"

"I know you don't care about the fallen soldiers, but we must. Otherwise, our army's dignity will be a farce!"

"Please wait while I report this to our captain," the messenger said as he stood up. He then looked at Lu Yu. "He'll be teaching you a lesson soon enough!"

"Hurry up. I don't have time to waste here," Lu Yu said with a shrug.

"Maybe, let's forget it? You still have things to do," Elizabeth suggested as she looked at Lu Yu.

Elizabeth had bet everything on Lu Yu finding the Third Prince.

After all, the Third Prince was in the Truth Department, and Lu Yu was their adversary. Lu Yu would eventually meet the prince of the Lionheart Empire.

On the other hand, the messenger had already walked out and begun using a teleportation scroll to return and inform their captain of the news.

Lu Yu sat in the villa's living room, sipping his tea.

"Isn't the member who died the girl named Su Qing? We got along quite well when I first met her. What a shame."

Elizabeth sighed slightly and lowered her head slightly.

The few people around Lu Yu went deafeningly quiet. This was a difficult fact for them to accept, and their mood was in the dumps.

"Don't you have total command over the Empire's army?" Lu Yu asked Elizabeth a question.

"The power structure of the Lionheart Empire is clearly separated," she explained helplessly, shaking her head. "Because I am a royal family member, the army will give way to me normally. However, when it comes to battle, they will prioritize their actions based on their superiors' orders."

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. "Since that's the case, you don't have much of a relationship with them. I'll teach that captain a good lesson when he comes over."
