Chapter 933 Source Of The Truth Department

Lu Yu only smiled at Bernie's threat.

"Just asking. I'm curious."

"Don't be too curious. Curiosity will kill you. You'd better not ask about that bottle of potion, or you'll die here."

After he said that mysteriously, he continued to walk forward.

Shirley looked at Bernie's back and was unbelieving at his attitude.

Although she could still find some characteristics of the old Bernie in him, he was a stranger to her in other aspects.

Could three years really change a person so much?

As they continued walking, Bernie came to the side of the road where a carriage was parked.

It was a four-wheeled carriage drawn by four horses, which only nobles qualified to use.

It seemed that Bernie was doing well here.

"This carriage looks lovely."

Shirley said as she entered the carriage and sat in the back seat.

Lu Yu and the others also went up and sat at the back.

Finally, Bernie climbed up the wooden ladder and sat behind the coachman.

"This carriage is no different from the one we had in Green Sea City."

"The difference is the power I have here. The power I hold in Night Witch City is completely different from that in Green Sea City. As a noble in Green Sea City, the resources you can obtain are incomparable to those here."

Shirley rested her elbows on her knees and stuck out her upper body. She asked, "Bernie, you've advanced to Rank 5 in just three years. That's so quick!"

"How did you do it? Can you share it with me?"

Bernie looked back at her and shook his head slightly. "Don't ask about this. Becoming stronger is what everyone yearns for, and it is confidential."

Shirley was confused by his lack of sharing.

Soon, they arrived at a sizable manor.

Five buildings were situated in the manor, with a lovely villa in the middle.

The other buildings were also well built.

After entering the manor, they saw a garden with rich greenery and a lotus fountain.

"The building over there is not lived-in, so you all can stay there. Just don't come out at night, and don't come looking for me."

As he spoke, he walked toward the central villa.

Looking at Bernie's back, Shirley frowned in confusion.

"I feel like he's changed a lot. This city really has a big impact on him."

Lu Yu looked at Bernie thoughtfully.

Why did the bottle he was holding feel familiar?

He had been fighting against the Truth Department all this time. He once assumed that the fight was over, but he later discovered that this organization was just an extension of the Ember Empire. It was an organization that had been lurking for thousands of years, waiting for the Empire to revive.

But since the Truth Department was wiped out, the Truth Potion should no longer exist.

Lu Yu just couldn't help but notice that the potion Bernie held looked much like the Truth Potion.

Lu Yu wondered if the Truth Potion originally came from the Ember Empire and the Truth Department had only obtained a small part in secret.

Or perhaps it was simply a technology given to them by the Ember Empire to strengthen themselves.

In short, Bernie was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

This city, in its entirety, was not simple either.

If the Truth Potion originated from here, Lu Yu would have to eliminate them, leaving no one alive!

The Truth Potion was the one thing he hated the most because it was made from human lives—an utterly inhumane product!

In order to become stronger, this group of people did not hesitate to devolve into animals!

"Let's go and rest up. Are we leaving tomorrow?"

Shirley looked at Lu Yu and asked.

"We might not leave tomorrow."

Lu Yu wanted to stay and find out what was going on.

The four of them entered the house made out of stone bricks. There was no concrete on the walls inside, but the walls were still relatively flat.

There was a sofa, a dining table, and a kitchen. Basically, there was everything there needed to be.

Lu Yu sat on the sofa while Helen and Shirley went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

The Empress sat beside Lu Yu and noticed his grave expression. "What's wrong?"

"Do you know the Truth Department?"

"Hmm... I've heard of them once when I left the Twilight Kingdom ages ago."

The Empress had lived for more than 100 years, so she was knowledgeable about many ancient histories.

"I am old rivals with the Truth Department. I killed many of them some time ago."

"Originally, I thought that I had killed all of them, but I think their main hub is here."

"This 'Truth Department' is your sworn enemy?" The Empress asked curiously. "Are they from the Ember Empire?"

"That's right. They've been waiting for the Ember Empire to revive. They have done many things, such as helping the Ember Empire understand the outside world."

"They also stole our information for the Ember Empire. Once the Ember Empire knows that our strength is way inferior to theirs, they will for sure take the initiative to launch an attack."

The Empress frowned. "The Truth Department has existed for thousands of years just to wait for this moment?"

"Yeah, so I won't leave this city for now. I want to keep my eyes on them. If there's any movement, I will investigate it clearly!"

Lu Yu took out his phone and searched for a signal.

After about ten minutes, Lu Yu finally connected himself to the signal set up by the Star Science Chamber of Commerce.

After a connection was established, Lu Yu quickly called Qin Yang.

Qin Yang picked up the phone after a few rings.

He was excited to receive Lu Yu's call.

"Brother Yu, you finally called me! Where are you now?"

"I'm already deep into the Ember Empire, investigating their situation. If they aren't too strong, I'll take action. I'll return if I can't do anything."

"Alright, great. Do you need my help?"

"You can deploy some troops around the Ember Empire. When I need to retreat, you can help cover me."

"No problem. I've long wanted to build some strongholds to monitor them. In that case, I'll take action now."

"By the way, how are the others?"

"They're all fine. Now that things have settled down here, we're just waiting to welcome our invaders. Don't worry; there won't be any problems. The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is no match for us!"

"Okay, there's one more thing. Has Su Qing returned?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang paused before remembering who Su Qing was.

"There's no news of her. She should still be in the illusionary realm, and it'll be difficult for her to return in a short time."

"Ok, I'll go over sooner or later to see if there's any change."

"Alright. I'm relieved to know that there are no problems on your side..."

After that, Lu Yu put away his phone. "Let's eat dinner."
