Chapter 1435: Unraveling the Truth
"This... is this the real subject you were talking about?" Morningstar, the cat, was stunned by the sight.
She extended her paw and hooked it, causing the white crystal to float over and hover beside her claw.
"Yes, she's the one," Su Yu confirmed.
Su Yu lightly waved his chopsticks in the air, and immediately, the store's space was sealed, locking in all information and preventing it from being transmitted outside.
Then, he used the chopsticks to pick up a piece of food and said while eating, "The smaller girl is named Ileya Manche, and she's the younger sister of the test subject."
"Oh~" Morningstar finally understood upon hearing Su Yu's explanation.
"???" But at that moment, the lizard shopkeeper in the kitchen was shocked, and the kitchen utensils in his hands clattered to the ground due to his surprise.
"What? The 'test subject' they mentioned is Lea Manche?!" The lizard shopkeeper was almost stunned beyond words.
He didn't know who Su Yu was referring to as the 'test subject' until now.
However, Lea Manche, the strongest intelligent being in the Southern Hemisphere, was at the peak of the Dominator rank, and was also acknowledged as the most likely candidate to break through the Dominator rank.
How could such a powerful being be referred to as a 'test subject' by Su Yu? Where did this term come from? Who dared to use her as an experiment?
But upon hearing this, the lizard shopkeeper's heart sank. He realized that Su Yu knew everything, and he feared there was no escape.
Su Yu didn't stop; after taking a bite, he continued, "This Ileya Manche is a twin with her sister, and their talents are on the same level.
However, her luck is not as good, and she's only at the mid-stage of the eighth rank, locally known as the mid-stage of the Flamefront rank, still far behind her sister."
"Oh," Morningstar nodded, "Then who is the taller Crimson-Skinned girl?"
"She's Ileya's best friend, at the upper stage of the seventh rank, and also one of the masterminds behind their plan," Su Yu replied.
"Ileya's best friend betrayed her. They had come to this small shop together many times before, but this time, this person named 'Aisha' is planning to sell her out."
Su Yu lightly tapped with his finger, and the white crystal floating in mid-air slowly flew towards him.
"This crystal contains a small subdimension. Just now, this 'good friend' forcibly dragged Ileya into the subdimension.
The semi-mechanical being is a helper called by Ileya, as she was worried that she might not be able to handle Ileya alone in the subdimension, so she brought along a helper."
"It's all clear now!" Morningstar instantly felt enlightened, and it's good that Su Yu didn't speak in riddles. Everything is now clear, isn't it?
"Kexing, and that last one..." Morningstar looked towards the lizard shopkeeper in the kitchen.
The lizard shopkeeper must be Aisha's accomplice, right?
Su Yu held the white crystal in his hand and smiled, "The last one, of course, is to take the crystal away.
He is Aisha's accomplice, and if we hadn't appeared here, the 'Innkeeper' would have already taken the crystal and escaped long ago."
Su Yu also looked towards the kitchen and asked, "Boss, is your leader named Magrathon?"
"..." The lizard shopkeeper was speechless, feeling cold sweat running down his back. Su Yu seemed to know everything.
Seeing that the lizard shopkeeper didn't respond, Su Yu calmly said, "Now, I'll give you two choices. One is death, where you'll pay with your life for impersonating the real boss. The other is to pledge your loyalty to me. Which do you choose?"
"..." The lizard shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his brow and said helplessly, "With everything you've said, what choice do I have? I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you."
"You don't seem sincere," Su Yu thought for a moment and released his overwhelming pressure.
The pressure of a fifth-stage Star Rank was unleashed, enveloping the lizard shopkeeper.
The lizard shopkeeper immediately felt as if a planet had descended upon him, crushing him to the point of near disintegration.
"Buzz~" The lizard shopkeeper's mind went blank.
Feeling this astonishing pressure, he was terrified, knowing that it was definitely beyond the Dominator rank.
Could it be...
The lizard shopkeeper's gaze towards Su Yu changed instantly.
Could Su Yu be an existence above the Dominator rank?!
It must be so, as only an existence above the Dominator rank could restrain him to the point of immobility.
A storm of emotions raged within the lizard shopkeeper's heart.
However, he was quick to react, and soon crawled to Su Yu's feet, bowing respectfully, "I, Ogami Fenglin, willingly pledge my loyalty to your powerful existence."
This time, his words were sincere.
He also knew that if Su Yu was indeed an existence above the Dominator rank, his loyalty would be a valuable asset.
To pledge loyalty to such an existence, even a Dominator rank being would aspire to it, right?
"Hmm," Su Yu activated the civilization binding technique and bound himself to the lizard shopkeeper, Ogami.
Su Yu didn't kill him, mainly because of the benefits of binding. Even a mosquito is still meat, right? Plus, he could gain a runner.
Ogami dared not resist and fully accepted Su Yu's binding.
He felt a chain-like object extending from Su Yu's body and binding itself to him.
This chain was completely invisible, but through it, Ogami was bound to Su Yu, becoming a part of his power.
