Chapter 632 Still Friends
Elizabeth raised her head and stared intently at Lu Yu, awaiting his response.
Lu Yu brushed aside the golden hair strewn across her face and said calmly, "Of course, we can still be friends!"
As she buried her head in Lu Yu's arms, Elizabeth's tears turned to smiles.
"Thank you very much. I promise I'm not going to stop you again. You can come to me anytime if you need assistance in the future."
Lu Yu stroked her hair and replied, "We're still friends, so no worries. You can also come to me anytime if you are in trouble..."
They hugged briefly, then separated and sat back on the sofa.
Elizabeth clenched her fist and angrily yelled, "If I see him again, I will teach him a lesson. How dare he join such an organization? Is he looking for death?"
"Don't worry," Lu Yu said, smiling. "I'll help you teach him a lesson."
Elizabeth gave Lu Yu a serious look. If you see him again and he still doesn't come to, you can simply kill him. You cannot allow him to assist the evildoers.
Lu Yu was relieved to see her decision. "When you return, do you intend to tell others about what I've told you?"
Elizabeth responded immediately, "I'll keep it a secret if you don't want me to tell anyone. This is shocking news, and I doubt many will believe me even if I announce it."
"It's fine. It makes no difference if you tell anyone. It's just that, to avoid causing panic, it's best not to officially announce it to the public."
Elizabeth nodded. "I understand. I'm not going to tell anyone."
"I should return right now. I'm curious how they're doing."
Lu Yu lowered his head to check the time and knew he needed to return quickly. The Truth Department retaliated against them for the first time, which meant there would almost certainly be a second and third time. He needed to return and make the necessary preparations.
"By the way, how are your losses? My brother has set his sights on you, and that dragon is worrying..." Elizabeth expressed concern.
"The stronghold has been destroyed, but the people inside have been relocated."
Lu Yu was reminded of Jiang Ning.
"I'll kill Walter sooner or later. At the very least, I'll do it for Jiang Ning!"
When Elizabeth noticed Lu Yu was feeling down, she quickly said, "Why don't you hurry back and make preparation? They appear to be quite the powerful enemy."
Lu Yu nodded. "That's exactly what I intended to do. It's time for me to leave..."
Lu Yu exited the villa, and the two stood at the villa entrance. Hundreds of people were gathered around them, all staring intently.
"There isn't anything else. You are free to continue your tasks." The crowd dispersed as Elizabeth had ordered.
Her butler then approached Elizabeth and took a seat beside her. "Will the Third Prince be returning, Your Highness?"
"He is unable to return. He has chosen the wrong path to tread on."
The butler sighed.
Lu Yu looked at Elizabeth and said, "I'll take my leave."
Elizabeth nodded slightly as she watched Lu Yu leave.
The butler approached Elizabeth and whispered, "Your Highness, I saw what you did in the living room. I'm not sure why you..."
Elizabeth looked at him and warned immediately, "Be careful what you say next!"
"Do you realize, Your Highness, that if your knights discovered this, they would definitely skin that guy alive? You are sacred and untouchable in the eyes of your knights!"
"I took the initiative, not at his request," Elizabeth stated coldly.
The head butler let out a sigh. "What exactly happened? Could it be that his identity was so important that you had to kneel before him?"
Elizabeth locked her gaze on him, and the butler shut his mouth and said nothing more.
The Lionheart Empire would lose face if word of this got out.
Elizabeth began to pray in her heart, hoping that Lu Yu wasn't a braggart who would tell everyone about it.
"What if he tells others, Your Highness? Even if he doesn't say anything, he might use it to threaten you, so aren't you at his mercy?"
"I can tell Lu Yu is not that type of person."
The butler sighed and stopped speaking...
Lu Yu soon arrived at the fortress gates, which slowly opened.
Creak... Boom!
Lu Yu was surprised to see a few figures standing as the door opened.
On closer inspection, he discovered that the person standing there was, in fact, Hunter!
The strange thing was that his body was engulfed in green flames. He walked like a puppet toward Lu Yu with stiff movements.
"As expected. He was unable to dodge his fate..."
Lu Yu sighed as Hunter's death was a devastating blow to the Lionheart Empire. The Lionheart Empire lost a great commander with great potential in the future!
Hunter approached Lu Yu quickly and was about to attack him.
The other soldiers inside the fortress walls came out.
"Is that... the commander?"
"What's the matter with him? What happened?"
"How did he get here? He doesn't seem to hear us."
"Could it be... he's already gone?"
The crowd was in disarray.
Elizabeth moved forward quickly. Her heart shook when she saw Hunter's figure.
Hunter's death was a devastating blow to the Lionheart Empire. They had suffered a significant loss in the ancient ruins and gained almost nothing.
"How can this be..."
"He... How could he..." Elizabeth said as she approached Lu Yu's side.
"He's already dead and has turned into a puppet. If Walter were here, he could direct Hunter's every move."
Lu Yu's words aggravated Elizabeth's mood. "Walter was the one? How could he slaughter his people? He's insane, completely insane!"
"You should return, Lu Yu. We'll handle Hunter."
Lu Yu bowed. "I won't get involved because we're all on the same side. If you can't bear it, I can assist you."
"You should return," Elizabeth said with a shake of her head. "I will handle this."
Lu Yu gave a slight nod and flashed away, passing Hunter's figure in an instant and arriving outside the city wall.
Lu Yu took out the scroll while standing outside.
He would require two scrolls to reach the mines. One was needed to go to the stronghold, while the other was needed to teleport to the mines.
Lu Yu took out a scroll and unfurled it quickly. Light poured out and wrapped itself around Lu Yu.
Green smoke rose from every direction from the scorched earth. The area was deafeningly silent, with no sign of life.
Lu Yu appeared. The Undead Fire destroyed the surrounding area, leaving only the ruins of their stronghold.
