Chapter 1384: Su Yu Did It!
Chapter 1384: Su Yu Did It!
"Ahem." Chairman Lemoy cleared his throat, attempting to change the subject.
They might not judge Su Yu by the same standards they used for Jared, or else Su Yu's ruthless pragmatism would have gotten him executed on the spot...
Chairman Lemoy looked at Ashley and smiled, "But Miss Ashley, you sure didn't hold back. I thought, given your nature, you'd be a bit gentler with Jared."
Casually slicing someone in half wasn't Ashley's style.
Ashley was taken aback, "That's not right. I didn't do it."
"Hmm?" Chairman Lemoy was puzzled, "If not you, then who?"
Ashley shrugged, "When I arrived, it was already like this. As a Seer, why would I use such a brutal method?"
"Is that so?" Chairman Lemoy nodded.
If it wasn't Ashley, then it had to be Omer before Ashley arrived.
At this thought, the Stellar Rankers all turned their gazes to Omer.
Many Stellar Rankers' expressions changed as they looked at Omer.
"Nice one, Omer!" General Dalandor exclaimed, "You're the one who split Jared in two. I didn't expect you to achieve such a result while being surrounded by three of the same rank!"
Dalandor was genuinely impressed. He never thought his confidant was so strong. Had Omer been hiding his true power all along?
Under the intense scrutiny of the Stellar Rankers, Omer became uneasy.
He quickly shook his head, "No, it wasn't me. Jared ambushed me, and I barely had a chance to defend myself."
He pointed to Su Yu below, "It was Su Yu who did it. He almost killed Jared in one move."
Silence.
Upon hearing Omer's words, everyone's expressions froze.
Su Yu split Jared in two? You must be kidding!
A newly ascended Planetary Ranker taking out a Fifth-Rank Planetary? How was that even possible?
However, they didn't doubt the truth of Omer's statement.
Omer wouldn't joke about something like this, and the city was filled with surveillance cameras. They could easily check what had happened.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Su Yu, their gazes filled with disbelief and awe.
...
Su Yu was now happily storing Jared's lower half in his spatial necklace. He wondered how much it would fetch.
Darak's corpse was worth 400 billion. This was half the body of a Fifth-Rank Planetary, so theoretically, it should be worth over 200 billion.
Unfortunately, it was a human, which would lower its value. It might only fetch 100 billion.
Faced with the intense gazes of the Stellar Rankers, Su Yu quickly put on a sincere smile, "Ha ha, yes, it was me.
My people are here, so I had to return to Haminess City.
As soon as I arrived, Jared attacked me.
Given my strength, I couldn't possibly match Jared, but I used my last resort treasure and managed to defeat him!"
"Last resort treasure?" The Stellar Rankers were shocked. What kind of treasure could almost instantly kill a Fifth-Rank Planetary?
And how did Su Yu have such a powerful treasure?
"Miss Ashley, did you give it to him?" Banker Soren looked at Ashley.
"Of course not," Ashley quickly denied, "I don't have a treasure of that caliber, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it away so easily."
She turned to Su Yu, "Su Yu, where did you get this treasure?"
But as soon as she asked, she realized it might be inappropriate. She quickly added, "Of course, if you don't want to say, that's fine. The source of a cultivator's treasures is highly personal."
"Although that's true, I don't think there's any need to hide it," Su Yu continued with a sincere smile, "Remember when I mentioned the Stellar Ranker who split Dark Thunder Dragon Darak in two?"
"Yes, I remember," Chairman Lemoy nodded, "The powerful being who passed by your home planet and killed Darak."
"Exactly, that's him," Su Yu said seriously, "Not only did he kill Darak, but he also gave us a treasure.
This treasure is the same as the one that killed Darak. Activating it can instantly kill a Fifth-Rank Planetary cultivator."
Su Yu's face was filled with gratitude, "Looking back, I'm truly thankful to that Stellar Ranker! Without this treasure, my people would have been wiped out today. I'm really, really grateful!"
The gratitude on Su Yu's face seemed genuine.
But the Stellar Rankers were speechless when they heard his words.
Su Yu, who would believe you?
They exchanged glances, and not one of them believed him.
Who gives away treasures like that?
The passing Stellar Ranker not only gave Su Yu Darak's corpse but also a treasure that could instantly kill a Fifth-Rank Planetary? How was that even possible? It completely went against the logic of a Stellar Ranker.
If one of them passed by a planet under attack by rebels, they would likely help eliminate the invaders. But they would definitely take valuable items like a Fourth-Rank Planetary's corpse.
First, these items were highly valuable. Second, leaving them behind could cause trouble for the natives, who might be targeted by others.
A treasure that could kill a Fourth-Rank Planetary would never be given away. Why would they do that? Were they out of their minds?
Unless Su Yu was the long-lost son of that Stellar Ranker, nothing made sense.
The Stellar Rankers immediately concluded—Su Yu was lying!
