Chapter 812 Demands

He had finally succeeded in sharpening the Star Piercing Demonic Sword.

Lu Yu held the demonic sword and gently stroked it to feel the power within.

Han Xuefei looked over and felt happy for Lu Yu.

"You've finally finished sharpening it. This divine artifact will greatly strengthen your strength!"

Lu Yu waved his demonic sword and said, "I can't wait to face a stronger enemy to test the power of this weapon."

"Walter isn't a bad option, and that damned Death Spirit Dragon!"

"It's time to end him," Han Xuefei sighed. "That Death Spirit Dragon deserves to die too!"

"If we fight them here, it will probably be a little risky." Han Xuefei reminded Lu Yu.

Lu Yu nodded. "Of course, I know that. We'll act according to the situation."

He got up and prepared to leave the room.

"It's getting late. You should rest."

Lu Yu had just reached the door when he saw Zena hurrying in.

"Sir, miss! We... we might have encountered some trouble. Why don't you hide for now?"

She said it in a hurry, with her snow-white cheeks flushed red.

"What trouble?"

"The Gill family brought people to our door, demanding that we share our resources."

Lu Yu frowned. "Why would they want your supplies? Don't they have any?"

"They're also in trouble with their ruined food and medicine supplies; they're also having a hard time surviving."

"Our master's youngest son accidentally told them that we have a lot of food, and they came here."

Lu Yu frowned and commented, "Your young master runs his mouth too easily."

"The Gill family also has a child that's our young master's friend who often comes over to play, so..."

Han Xuefei stood up and walked to Lu Yu's side. "Why don't we go and take a look?"

"Fine, let's go over and take a look. They'd better not disturb our sleep."

As Lu Yu spoke, he took the lead and walked out.

Zena was a little worried. "There are a lot of them. Why don't we just split some of our food with them?"

"Split? This is yours, and they are here to rob you. Why should you give them any?"

Lu Yu disapprovingly replied and then reached the manor entrance.

At this moment, many people were already gathered in front of the iron gate.

They raised their torches high and shouted at Evan and the others.

"Open the door for us! What are you doing? Are you trying to enjoy your fortune in silence?"

"If you don't want to share the resources with everyone, do you think you are still worthy of being a Black Rock City citizen?"

"Quickly let us in!"

Evan looked at the angry crowd and felt his heart ache.

"We exchanged our supplies with travelers. We traded with our treasures, so those supplies weren't given to us for nothing."

"We don't care. You have food, and we're hungry! That's not fair!"

One of them took the lead and kicked the door.

The remaining people also raised their feet and kicked the door.

The iron door rattled as if it would be kicked open at any moment.

Evan was getting anxious just as Lu Yu walked over.

"Mr. Lu Yu, why are you here?" Evan asked.

"I heard something happen, so I came over to look."

"Why don't I open the door and give them something?" Evan gave in, afraid his whole family would die in a riot.

However, Lu Yu refused decisively.

"If they dare to snatch your supplies, I'll send them to hell!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu took out his demonic sword.

Bang!

The door was forced open, and the leader of the Gill family walked in and raised a torch.

"Take your food out. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Lu Yu looked at these people. They were all citizens of the Ember Empire, yet they lived in such a miserable state that they could not even eat their fill.

In the eyes of the Ember Empire, it seemed that they were just a group of commoners.

"All of you get out! Do you think you can rob others as you like?"

The Gill family leader looked at Lu Yu and snorted coldly. "You're the traveler? You'd better mind your own business. Otherwise, we'll take everything off you too!"

"I see; you are the one who started the commotion. As long as I kill you, the rest will scatter."

Gill snorted. "Try me. Although I haven't woken up for long, I'm already recovering near my peak."

He took out a long saber and looked at Lu Yu.

"Show me what kind of strength you have to challenge me!"

Gill roared and rushed toward Lu Yu.

He was a high and mighty leader of a family. Naturally, he would not tolerate being looked down upon by a young man.

The long saber slashed over, and the blade flashed coldly.

Suddenly, Gill's body stiffened, and he couldn't move.

Han Xuefei secretly held his body in place.

Gill was subdued, and he was alarmed by what was happening.

"What... What sorcery is this? Let me go!"

He cried out in horror, terrified by the sudden loss of control over his body.

When the rioters behind him saw this, they dared not move. They looked at his back in panic.

Lu Yu just stood there quietly. He didn't make a move, fully letting Han Xuefei handle the situation.

The good thing about Han Xuefei's power was that no one could see that they were the ones who did it, so there was no evidence to smear their names.

Suddenly, Gill stabbed himself in the chest with his saber.

Squelch!

He spat a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in despair.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What... What's going on?"

"Suicide? That's impossible!"

"He seems to be controlled by someone."

"..."

The rioters panicked. They could all tell it was Lu Yu and his companion's doing, but none dared say anything.

First, they had no evidence. Second, they were afraid that they would be the next victims.

Lu Yu looked at Gill's corpse and said, "Everyone saw he did it himself. It has nothing to do with me."

"He might have been mentally ill and decided to commit suicide. Crazy."

Lu Yu continued commenting.

Everyone gulped and did not dare move forward, wanting to retreat.

Evan looked at Lu Yu with gratitude in his eyes.

Then he looked at everyone and said, "I will give you some food, so don't worry. However, it's definitely not right to rob us."

Evan knew his family would be better off if he gave them something. The greedier ones would then rob the others rather than gang up against Evan and his family.

Zena came out with more than ten bags of food and distributed them.

Most of them had something, but still more were left empty-handed. Evan naturally did not bother to give everyone something.

Those who did not get anything would not dare find trouble with Evan and would only rob the others who got lucky.

At this moment, someone looked at Evan and said, with a smile, "Thank you. By the way, the secret realm connected to Black Rock City has opened. We can enter the secret realm to hunt wild beasts and gather food. It should help us survive this difficult period."
