Chapter 768 Public Impact
Lu Yu and his group sat in the restaurant. Soon, waiters came up one after another and placed all kinds of delicacies on the table.
Looking at the savory dishes on the table, An Heng immediately couldn’t help but drool.
“These look so delicious. I’ve never seen anything so delicious!”
The ingredients used for each dish were extremely precious, and the cooking methods were varied and sumptuous.
An Heng looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Brother Lu Yu, can we start eating? I’m hungry.”
Lu Yu smiled faintly. “Then hurry up and eat. You don’t have to ask me.”
An Heng nodded heavily when he heard that. He picked up his chopsticks and began to pick at the food.
Qin Yang sat beside Lu Yu and quickly asked, “Brother Lu Yu, what’s our next plan?”
Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. “Let’s rest here briefly and see how things go.”
“Sure. Don’t worry. Also, you can go anywhere you want in Central City!”
Lu Yu patted Qin Yang’s shoulder and said, “If the war starts, you’ll have to be careful about how things go.”
Qin Yang nodded repeatedly. “Of course. Since we will start a war, we have to go all out. This is one of our few opportunities to strike.”
“By the way,” Lu Yu continued, “how are the other countries’ opinions after the news was released?”
Han Xuefei was also curious about this.
When Qin Yang heard this, he immediately answered excitedly, “The public opinion exploded. The impact of these videos was too strong! Everyone was terrified after watching those pieces of evidence!”
“There are even voices in many countries demanding that they send troops to annihilate the evil forces in the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce immediately!”
Lu Yu turned on his phone and scrolled through a few news articles.
The first was news from the Freedom Federation. This incident caused a great commotion, with many people requesting the federal government send troops to eradicate the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce. Even if there were a small number of voices of opposition, they had long been drowned out by the waves of public opinion.
The news exposed was too shocking, and the public found it impossible to accept.
In the past, there had been some news on the Internet describing the process of producing truth potions by the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce.
However, there was no picture or truth, so most people laughed it off.
But when such a realistic scene was placed before them, the visual impact alone made it impossible for the public to ignore!
Therefore, once this scandal was released, it brought about a terrifying storm of public opinion.
As for the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce, it was as if they did not care, as they did not even make a statement addressing it.
Lu Yu read a few more headlines from the Lionheart Empire.
He realized that most people in the Lionheart Empire did not care about this. To them, as long as it did not threaten their homeland, it did not matter.
However, some people still strongly condemn the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce.
Also, Lu Yu saw a video from Elizabeth.
In the video, Elizabeth’s expression was solemn, and she calmly accused the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce of their crimes and suggested that the Lionheart Empire send troops.
When he saw Elizabeth in the video, a familiar memory surged into his mind. He did not know how long it had been since he had last seen her. If he had the time, he wanted to catch up with her once more…
Lu Yu put his phone away and into his pocket.
He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Soon, a wonderful taste bloomed in his mouth.
“What do you think?” Lu Yu looked at Qin Yang and asked, “After you declared war, what did your people think?”
“They’re very supportive,” Qin Yang said proudly. “They all support us in upholding justice. Now that we have a good reason, it’s the best time for us to act!”
Lu Yu nodded slightly.
At this moment, Xu Yuan rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, “Lu Yu, don’t forget that the Truth Department has the Death Spirit Dragon. If the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is no longer a match for us, the Death Spirit Dragon might come to their aid.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned slightly.”This is indeed a point worth noting.”
“However, we might not need to worry about that.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan puzzledly looked at Lu Yu and asked, “You have a way to deal with it?”
“Although I don’t know if the Water Spirit Dragon is a match for the Death Spirit Dragon, Walter betrayed the Lionheart Empire and joined the Truth Department to gain an opportunity to seize his country’s throne. He wants power.’ “In other words, his first target must be the Lionheart Empire. He wants to be the new Emperor!”
Xu Yuan gulped. “This guy and his huge ambition. However, now that he has the Death Spirit Dragon, he should be able to seize what he wants.”
“That’s right. We’ll just wait for him in the Lionheart Empire.”
Xu Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “Are we still going to the Lionheart Empire soon?”
“Of course. If Walter is plotting against the Lionheart Empire, we might be able to stop him in time if we head over.”
“I’ll contact Elizabeth when I have time. I’ll advise her to pay more attention to her country’s situation. If anything happens, she’ll contact me immediately.”
They chatted while eating. Soon, the table of delicacies was almost finished.
Qin Yang lay on the chair and patted his stomach with his right hand.
“It’s great eating this lovely food. It’s satisfying.”
“Now that we’ve had our fill, let’s bring the Water Spirit Dragon for a good meal too. After all, it’s our greatest contributor to our last mission.”
Qin Yang suggested with a smile.
“Qin Yang, what are the arrangements for An Lan and her brother?”
After Lu Yu asked, but before Qin Yang could speak, An Lan quickly answered, “He’s treating us well. He found us a decent villa and even helped An Heng with the enrollment procedures so that he could study here.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “You did a good job.”
“It seems An Heng hasn’t attended school before, right?” Lu Yu asked.
An Lan nodded slightly. “Yes, he hasn’t been to school before, but he probably won’t be here for long…”
Yun Zirou looked at her and asked, “Why? The schools here are all outstanding. They’re among the best in the world.”
“Because I’ve already made up my mind to follow Lu Yu. I couldn’t repay him for saving my life, so I must do my best in helping him out.” An Lan stated firmly, and she wasn’t joking at all.
Lu Yu did not reject her insistence. After all, this beautiful girl had an SSS-Level talent and was destined to be a top-notch cultivator. If he were to overlook such a talent, it would just be arrogant of him to do so.
“No problem. I will protect your safety. However, you must also quickly increase your strength.”
An Lan smiled excitedly and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I will! I will do my best to cultivate!”
