Chapter 698 Local Tyrant

At the entrance of Changlin City's parliament hall, Lu Yu and the other three got out of their taxi and were planning to enter the place.

At the entrance, the security guard stopped Lu Yu.

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

"Your Chairman."

"He's busy right now; he doesn't have time to see you."

"Tell him that Lu Yu is here to see him. Tell him to come over!"

The security guard sized Lu Yu up, gulped, and started to get nervous. Lu Yu's aura was getting intense, and the security guard knew Lu Yu wasn't joking.

"I'll make a call and ask."

He returned to the security booth, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Chaiman. Four people are at the door, and they want to see you."

"What's the point of meeting me in the middle of the night? Tell them to go back!"

"That person said his name is Lu Yu, and he wants you to meet him at the door."

The other party was silent for a long time and did not respond.

After about two minutes, he replied in a grave tone, "Don't provoke them. I'm coming over now!"

After hanging up the phone, the security guard looked at Lu Yu more respectfully.

A person who could make their Chairman treat him like this was not an ordinary person.

"Our Chairman will be out soon. Please wait for a moment."

Lu Yu nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

"What's a Chairman's usual job?" He asked Xu Yuan.

"They have meetings with the parliament members every day to formulate laws. Basically, they are the city's managers, and that's about it."

"That's simple."

"Generally speaking, a parliament meeting is quite complicated. Many of the members are supported by various forces, so they often quarrel during every meeting."

"This Chairman must have the support of many major powers."

Lu Yu chuckled.

"Those gangsters are too despicable! They set fire to a hotel and killed the guests indiscriminately; they must be punished! If the Chairman doesn't care, then we will!" Yun Zirou clenched her fists and angrily stated.

Her family was innocent citizens implicated blindly, so this was why she was so angry seeing something similar.

Very quickly, Lu Yu saw someone walking toward them.

The man was wearing a formal suit and had slicked-back hair. He had a refined temperament when he walked, and the gold-rimmed glasses he wore made him look like an elite.

"Lu Yu!"

He shouted excitedly before he even reached Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, I've long heard of your great name!"

He walked over with a smile, pushed open the metal gates, and stood before Lu Yu.

"Introduce yourself first." Lu Yu didn't give him a good look.

"Um, I'm Gu Qing, the Chairman of Changlin City. What's the matter?"

"Of course, I'm because of something. The hotel I was staying in was set on fire, and I'm sure it was because I was there. They wanted to give me a warning by doing that."

"This has nothing to do with me. Our law clearly states that the punishment for arsonists is life imprisonment. The relevant personnel will handle this matter, so you don't have to worry."

"But I heard that the Fierce Dragon Gang is behind them. Did you know that?"

"This..." Gu Qing appeared to be in a difficult situation.

"I know a thing or two. The Fierce Dragon Gang is a force from the Stellaris Autonomous Zone. We have been in contact with them, and, inevitably, their people are here."

He revealed a helpless expression.

"Is that so? I hope you can tell me the truth, and I want to know everything about the Fierce Dragon Gang in Changlin City!"

Lu Yu stared at Gu Qing with a piercing gaze, which sent a chill down Gu Qing's back.

"I'm sorry; I have nothing I can say."

Ssssshhhh!

The skin on Han Xuefei's right arm began freezing, and the frost gradually turned into crystal-clear ice. These ice crystals continued extending and finally turned into a sharp sword in her hand.

"Chairman Gu, I don't have much patience. Do you understand?"

Gu Qing glanced at Han Xuefei behind Lu Yu, gulping nervously.

"I know you're very close to the military, and I know you're powerful. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

"If you protect them, there's no point in you living anymore." Lu Yu put his hand on his shoulder and tried to persuade him, "I hope you can think it through."

Gu Qing trembled all over, his eyes darting around. In the end, he let out a helpless sigh.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know. The Fierce Dragon Gang has a branch in Changlin City. They used various means to take over the largest villa area in Changlin City, the Dream Forest Villa Garden!"

"The leader is in that villa area and lives in the largest villa in the middle of it."

Lu Yu turned to Xu Yuan and asked, "Do you know this place?"

"I've never heard of it. But from the map, it looks pretty big."

"Let's go and meet this gang of theirs. I want to see where they get their confidence from!"

Lu Yu turned to Gu Qing and asked, "Have you said what you wanted to say?"

"I'm done. I promise I've told you everything I know!"

Lu Yu turned around and left the parliament hall.

Looking at the back of Lu Yu and the other three, Gu Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Why would this person come to Changlin City? What the hell!"

"Chairman, will they get themselves killed by causing trouble for the Fierce Dragon Gang?"

Gu Qing glared at him and scolded, "Are you an idiot? Do you think he's bluffing? Would he dare to do this if he didn't have the means?"

With a cold snort, Gu Qing turned around and walked back into the parliament hall.

...

At that moment, Lu Yu and the others had already gotten into a taxi and were headed toward the Dream Forest Villa Garden.

The taxi drove in the dark, with only dim street lights on the side of the road.

After leaving the city center, it wasn't as lively, especially in these villa areas. It was quiet, except for the occasional party here and there.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the gates of their destination.

After exiting the taxi, Lu Yu walked toward the main gates.

"Please show your proof of ownership. Outsiders are not allowed to enter here."

The security guard at the entrance stopped Lu Yu, not allowing him to continue.

Swoosh!!

A gust of cold air suddenly blew at the security guard, quickly freezing him into an ice sculpture.

Lu Yu turned around and looked at Han Xuefei.

"In order not to cause a commotion, we should resolve this as soon as possible." Han Xuefei explained.

Lu Yu nodded. "Let's go in."

Lu Yu took the lead and walked in. The place was huge, but only a few villas were erected.

Each villa was luxuriously decorated. There was a swimming pool in the front yard and backyard, and their yards alone were as large as several ordinary villas.

The greenery here was very well-kept, and various plants stood on both sides of the street.

Walking on such a street, it was as if they had entered a forest biome.

After walking for a short distance, Lu Yu saw a unique villa. This villa took up a large portion of the entire area. The surrounding villas were all two stories high, while this unique villa had four stories!

It was surrounded by a garden, a golf course, a swimming pool, a horse track, and everything one could think of.

"It seems that this is their leader's residence." Xu Yuan stated as he continued to walk forward. They had reached the main entrance of the villa.
