Chapter 748 A Revote

Hu Xue looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you want to start a vote?"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Revote!"

Lu Yu looked at the audience and slowly continued, "Everyone, let me promise you that if you start a war with the Red Heart Trade Union, the Freedom Federation will not take advantage of you. We are already busy fighting against the Truth Department."

"As for the Lionheart Empire and the surrounding countries, I can't guarantee that. But I can guarantee I will stand on the same side as you!"

Hu Xue turned around to look at Lu Yu and asked, "Do you think we have the strength to defeat them?"

"Our current situation is that we have no choice but to fight it out. But, I don't see any hope of victory and only foresee a crushing defeat."

Lu Yu looked at Hu Xue and answered, "I will help you. If the war continues, the Freedom Federation will also help you. We have already begun our counterattack against the Ember Empire."

"Is that so? Even so, it's hard to say what that will be. Moreover... do you even have the strength?"

Hu Xue sized Lu Yu up and did not believe in Lu Yu's strength.

"Of course, I have the strength. I'm much stronger than Qin Yang."

"Haha, that's only on paper. Many Star Science Chamber of Commerce members are more powerful than Qin Yang, and his strength lies in his talent, do you even understand that?"

All along, Qin Yang's talent had been of the utmost importance to the entire Star Science Chamber of Commerce due to the fact that he was immune to explosion effects.

After all, the Star Science Chamber of Commerce was excellent at producing strong explosives. As long as Qin Yang could face the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce head-on, a few rounds of bombing would be enough to deal a considerable blow to them.

Relying on the characteristics of his talent, even if Qin Yang's personal strength was nothing special, his role was irreplaceable.

"Cut the crap. Why are you even questioning my brother's strength? He is definitely stronger than me! The last time my arm exploded, Lu Yu walked out of the center of the explosion unscathed!"

Upon hearing this, the audience got into a flurry of discussion.

"Really? That's ridiculous!"

"Impossible; it's absolutely impossible. Qin Yang's first arm could destroy an entire city after it exploded. No one should be able to withstand the explosion head-on!"

"What kind of physique does this guy have? There's no way he can really resist the explosion with his physical body, right?"

"I'm sure he isn't a simple person. To make Qin Yang call him his brother so loyally, he is definitely someone extraordinary."

At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yu, curious about his strength.

"The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce has three SSS-Level talents, while we only have one. How are we going to fight? Tell me!" Hu Xue stared at Lu Yu and threw this question at him.

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. "We don't have just one. We have two."

Hu Xue's eyes lit up. "What? You are an SSS-Level talent holder?"

The audience immediately started discussing.

"Damn, I didn't expect this kid to be an SSS-Level awakener."

"No wonder he's this powerful. He's indeed extraordinary."

"Great! We have two SSS-Level experts. We should be able to fight them now."

A large-scale war required many SSS-Level powerhouses. Only those with strong talent could inflict large-scale attacks, whether it was Qin Yang's explosion or An Lan's Red Lotus Raging Fire.

Lu Yu replied coldly, "No, my talent level is low, and it's not worth mentioning. The second SSS-Level awakener I'm talking about is a girl named An Lan. She just awakened her talent not long ago."

Lu Yu then looked down at An Lan's seat. "An Lan, stand up and say something."

An Lan looked around cautiously and knew the people sitting here were all bigshots from all walks of life. Everyone had the aura of someone important, which was scaring her a little.

However, she still stood up and walked toward Lu Yu.

She reached Lu Yu's side and felt relieved.

"Hello, everyone. My name is An Lan. I do have an SSS-Level talent."

Hu Xue sized An Lan up. She was dressed very plainly, and it was apparent that she came from a poor family.

"Is that so? Introduce yourself."

An Lan looked at Hu Xue and said, "My talent is called the Red Lotus Raging Fire. I just completed my awakening yesterday, and it's an SSS-Level talent."

Hu Xue shook her head helplessly. "You only awakened yesterday. You're practically powerless, so what's the point?"

Lu Yu looked at Hu Xue and asked, "How long do you think the war between the Star Science Chamber of Commerce and the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce will last?"

Hu Xue stood rooted to the ground, lost in her thoughts; she could not answer that question.

She could not estimate how long this war would last. Not only that, but everyone also felt this was a war of unknowns.

"There is a high chance that the war will continue for some time. Both sides will continue to push up the cost of the war until one side collapses and the winning side harvests the rest."

"In this process, she has a lot of room for cultivation. It should be easy to train her with the resources of your entire chamber of commerce, right?"

Hu Xue was stunned. What Lu Yu said made sense, and she could not refute it.

"Alright, she can be considered to be of some use..."

Lu Yu turned around and looked at the audience. "We will officially start the voting!"

"Those who support Qin Yang's decision to start a war, please raise your hand!"

Swoosh!

Everyone raised their hands in unison, and the staff at the side began to tally their votes.

Soon, he finished his counting.

"105 supporters!"

Lu Yu revealed a carefree smile. "An overwhelming number of votes. So, let's prepare for war!"

"The command of the battle is in the hands of the Qin family. Everyone in the chamber of commerce must listen to his orders."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, Hu Xue immediately sat down on the chair in a daze. Her eyes were empty and lifeless.

Before she came, she thought she had knew the outcome of this debate. She assumed she would win the deliberation as usual, and nothing was surprising about that.

But Lu Yu's appearance had thrown her for a loop, defeating her. Lu Yu overturned all the previous victories she had in those debates.

She let out a long sigh and could only helplessly accept this reality; she no longer had the arrogance and complacency from before.

She looked at Lu Yu with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

At that moment, Lu Yu looked at Qin Yang and said, "From today onward, the Qin family can start preparing for battle."

Qin Yang immediately stood up and nodded at Lu Yu. "Thank you for helping me. Otherwise, we would still have to go through this endless debate."

Lu Yu patted his shoulder, saying, "We got lucky that this proposal passed. Otherwise, I'm sure this change wouldn't come easily."
