Chapter 706 - The Wedding

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Flowers and the red carpet paved the way from the entrance of St Paul’s to deep inside the church.

It was a sunny day, just nice for a grand wedding.

Beside the road gathered countless commoners, as though waiting for something. Each of them held confetti in their hands, ready to release it anytime.

Cheng Qiuqiao blushed at the confetti. “Don’t tell me they are waiting for Brother Shu! Is he getting married so soon?”

Chen Zuan smacked his lips. “Wow, he’s getting married when so many people want to take his head? Impressive… But the thing is, I don’t think anyone else’s wedding can be so grand here.”

In his heart, only Lu Shu deserved a wedding of such scale.

Cheng Qiuqiao stared at the confetti, looking distressed. “But I’m scared of fireworks and firecrackers since I was young. I may scream.”

Chen Zuan paused. “Then has it ever occurred to you that you could be the Nien beast?”

Cheng Qiuqiao was speechless.

Cao Qingci and Han You too.

Nien? What the heck!

What a lame joke! Cheng Qiuqiao quipped, “Brother Zuan, congratulations on reaching halfway to Brother Shu’s level.”

“Thank you!” Chen Zuan said proudly.

“But Brother Shu is fine because he’s strong. I’m afraid sooner or later you’ll get beaten up for your remarks…” Cheng Qiuqiao said with a cold laugh.

“What are you saying? Hurry up! Bah!” Chen Zuan’s face darkened.

“Ha,” Cheng Qiuqiao gave another cold laugh. Only Lu Shu would cooperate with Chen Zuan.

At this moment, a black luxury car stopped outside St Paul’s through a way cleared out by the crowd. Lu Shu alighted from the car with Coral in his arms. Coral had opened her eyes, looking at the cheerful crowd.

Instantly, paper flowers shot out like confetti. Lu Shu walked down the red carpet with Coral in his arms. It was like a dream.

This was a specially arranged wedding planned by the Cartel. When Lu Shu mentioned that he was bringing Coral to the St Paul’s Church, everyone immediately understood Coral’s wish, except Lu Shu.

Hence, they had arranged the ceremony in the name of justice.

When Lu Shu walked past, Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao and Han You gasped in shock.

Chen Zuan could not believe his eyes. “Although this is not entirely unexpected, my worldview has been once again shaken after seeing Brother Shu with my own eyes…”

“Brother Shu, my idol!” Cheng Qiuqiao exclaimed.

The wedding that caused a huge splash in the entirety of Olbia was really Lu Shu’s.

At this moment, a few Metahumans rushed in from the outside. They surrounded St Paul’s aggressively, but were brought to a standstill by the commoners.

Lu Shu walked to the church steadily. The seats on both sides of the alley were empty. He had heard the commotion behind, but chose to ignore it.

Against the noisy background, he simply walked towards the Priest calmly with Coral in his arms.

There were no flower girls or children holding the ring nor candles.

The wedding was grand yet simple.

Without a ring, Lu Shu took out two cans of fake coke from his Seal of Lands. He got them from Zhao Yongchen’s grocery shop. Smiling, he pulled off the tabs. As expected, the cans remained sealed.

Lu Shu smiled bitterly. “Legend has it that if you pull off the tab from the can and the can is not open, the tab will be blessed. Wearing it will bring you good luck.”

Coral lay in Lu Shu’s arms. Her face looked pale. She smiled. She knew, from the moment she informed Lu Shu of this trip, that Lu Shu did not get what she meant. But it was fine.

In the end, he still brought her here, despite the rising tension outside.

The gray-haired Priest asked with a smile, “Are there any legal factors that demand the stopping of this wedding?”

No reply.

“Any objections to this wedding?”

No reply.

…

The Cartel Metahumans in the crowd had already started a fight with the Danke.

Meanwhile, Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao and Han You guarded the entrance of the church. They stopped whoever attempted to enter.

But they were outnumbered. Within a few minutes, they had been wounded multiple times.

Chen Zuan laughed bitterly. “How unfair! We guard the door when Brother Shu is having his wedding inside.”

Outside St Paul’s, a man walked towards the church in an imposing manner. He was Satan.

Staring at the three of them, Satan calmly asked in English, “What’s the point of fighting to death for someone else? Do you think you could stop my chariot?”

Chen Zuan scratched the back of his neck in confusion. “Err… What did he say?”

Cheng Qiuqiao rolled his eyes and translated for him. Chen Zuan was still confused. “Chariot? Why do I not see any?”

Cheng Qiuqiao asked, “Do I have to translate for you?”

“Of course! Quick!” Chen Zuan was getting impatient.

So Cheng Qiuqiao asked Satan in English where his chariot was.

Satan laughed coldly. “… Futile attempt. Soon you shall understand why you can only be ants.”

All of a sudden, more than ten members of the Danke darted towards them. As though three Class C’s were not worthy of his action, Satan simply stood aside to watch with cold eyes.

Like leaves in a storm, the three of them struggled under the attack. But they did not yield no matter what.

The Danke members collapsed into pools of blood, and Chen Zuan and the other two were covered in blood too.

When Chen Zuan braced himself for the next round of attack, he realized that all of the Danke members were dead. Suddenly, he let out a hearty laughter. “I am Chen Zuan. Who dares to fight me?!”

Satan stepped towards him, his face frosty as ice. He was like a giant ready to crush an infant. At this critical moment, a spear thrust out from the crowd. Cao Qingci had finally made her move! She had remained inconspicuous before this moment!

Nie Ting once said that Cao Qingci’s composure and disguise made her a talented assassin, but not a leader.

But the latter half of his sentence was that Cao Qingci would be the best assassin!

It was just the right time, and even Satan did not see it coming. At that instant,Satan, an expert who was only one step away from Class A, hurriedly pulled over a Danke member as his shield!
