Chapter 1254: Bring It On
2023-11-20
After a moment, Luman Gried was the first to speak, "Lord Raitedoz, is it really as you say?"
Everyone turned to look at Luman.
Under their gazes, Luman continued, "I've had quite a bit of interaction with Su Yu. From what I understand, he doesn't seem to have a particularly favorable view of the Guard Corps."
If he truly had a favorable view, Su Yu wouldn't have made that 100 billion Psychic Coin deal.
But Raitedoz was taken aback by Luman's words.
Isn't Su Yu the Legion Commander's alt? How could Luman be speaking so negatively about the Legion Commander's alt?
Or perhaps Luman hadn't guessed that Su Yu was the Legion Commander's alt?
While he was pondering, Luman had already dialed Su Yu's number. "I happen to have Su Yu's contact information. Let's ask him directly and see what he has to say."
"Agreed," Legion Commander Dalando concurred. It was better to ask than to speculate.
Soon, Su Yu answered the call.
After a brief exchange, Luman asked, "I have a question I really want to ask—why did you choose to auction off the dragon corpse instead of selling it through other, safer methods?"
"..." Su Yu thought for a moment before responding matter-of-factly, "I wanted to sell it quickly and get the money fast. Other methods are too slow."
"Aren't you afraid of the dangers?..." Luman Gried then described the situation, mentioning that some planetary factions had dubious morals and that there were space pirates outside the Hub.
After his explanation, Luman expected Su Yu to show fear, regret, or surprise.
But Su Yu calmly smiled. "No worries, I don't care about those things. If anyone wants to try and take it, let them bring it on!"
...
Su Yu's words were incredibly impactful.
For a moment, the already quiet online meeting room fell completely silent.
Everyone was stunned by Su Yu's words.
Could an eighth-rank cultivator really speak with such confidence? His words were too bold!
Even Legion Commander Dalando was surprised.
Where did Su Yu get the nerve to speak so fearlessly?
Oh, right, he had mentioned being a Planetary Rank cultivator whose strength had temporarily dropped to eighth-rank.
But even at Planetary Rank, one couldn't ignore dangers of that magnitude, especially when they hadn't fully recovered.
...
After Luman finished his conversation with Su Yu, someone in the meeting room couldn't help but ask, "Lord Luman, does Su Yu have any background?"
"Why can he speak with such confidence?"
"From the tone of his voice... that doesn't sound like something an eighth-rank cultivator would say. Even the strongest few at the peak of eighth-rank wouldn't speak that way."
"Lord Luman, what's the situation with him?"
...
Faced with his colleagues' questions, Luman was at a loss for words.
He and the Legion Commander had similar thoughts, believing that Su Yu might genuinely be able to recover to Planetary Rank, which was why he spoke so confidently.
But his confidence was indeed a bit excessive!
Even if Su Yu recovered, he would only be at First-Stage Planetary Rank.
If he were to catch the attention of slightly more powerful space pirates or rebel organizations, it would be very dangerous. After all, Su Yu's home planet had been entirely sacrificed, leaving him without any significant backing.
Luman could only explain, "I don't know," before awkwardly changing the subject. "Legion Commander, how should we handle this situation now?"
