Chapter 1353: Why Do All the Lucky Breaks Fall on You?
Everyone turned their envious eyes toward Su Yu, their gazes practically glowing green with jealousy.
This was truly a massive windfall from the heavens, and it had landed squarely on Su Yu’s head!
"But that’s not right," muttered a Planetary Rank who had just arrived.
He was even starting to question his own existence: "If the heavens are going to drop a pie, why does it always land right on Councilor Su Yu’s head? First, a passing Stellar Rank being just handed him a Dark Thunder Dragon corpse. Then, the only Level 4 AI in the entire Federation awakened in his possession. And now, Lady Ashley’s grand gift...
Councilor Su Yu, are you some kind of chosen one? Why do all these incredible things happen to you?"
As he spoke, his words shifted, changing his address from "you" to "you, sir."
Yes, why indeed?
The nearby Eighth Rank and Planetary Rank powerhouses all felt the same way.
Why did all the good things happen to Su Yu? Had he saved the world in a past life, or was he the reincarnation of a saint?
Why had they never encountered such good fortune themselves?
Everyone looked at Su Yu with envy, even Travelman Grider couldn’t help but shoot him a sour glance.
Travelman, who had only felt a slight twinge of envy earlier, now found himself in full agreement, joining the chorus of resentment.
If it weren’t for the fact that everyone present was thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, they might have really wanted to take Su Yu down!
"Heh heh." Faced with the envious glares, Su Yu could only manage an awkward yet polite smile.
What could he do? The Dark Thunder Dragon corpse and the AI Blue Whale were one thing, but he hadn’t expected Lady Ashley to give him Lyrin’s wings.
"Everyone…" Su Yu tried to say something to ease the tension, but just then, the spatial rift in front of him suddenly lit up.
Councilor Lemor stepped through the rift and appeared not far from him.
"Are you alright, Councilor Su Yu?" Lemor immediately turned his gaze to Su Yu as soon as he emerged.
Before entering the rift, he had been too focused on chasing Lyrin to notice Su Yu’s condition, and it was only now that he could ask.
"I’m fine." Su Yu quickly replied, "Thanks to Lady Ashley’s protection, I feel great."
"You don’t just feel great?" Lemor hadn’t even finished speaking when Travelman Grider couldn’t help but mutter, "If I had received a gift of that caliber, I’d feel great too!"
"Heh heh." Su Yu could only offer a strained smile in response.
"Grand gift?" Lemor’s eyes widened, and he looked at the black wings Travelman Grider was holding.
Is this the grand gift? Lyrin’s wings?
Lemor immediately recognized them as Lyrin’s wings, having seen Ashley tear them off with his own eyes.
However, he wasn’t concerned that Ashley had given the wings to Su Yu; instead, he furrowed his brow in confusion.
"Strange, this shouldn’t be! Why did Ashley do this?" His mind was filled with questions.
Just as he had seen Ashley tear off Lyrin’s wings, Lemor was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ashley to focus solely on the wings.
He had assumed Ashley would try her best to prevent Lyrin from escaping into the spatial rift.
Even a two-second delay would have likely been enough to intercept Lyrin outside the rift.
Of course, while Ashley was much stronger than Lyrin, she might not have been able to hold him for even two seconds.
Lyrin, with his thousands of years of experience in the galaxy, certainly had some last-resort survival techniques. If he really wanted to escape, he could.
But the fact that Ashley hadn’t tried to stop Lyrin at all and instead only took his wings was what puzzled Lemor the most.
