Chapter 1014: Chapter 649: Rejecting Peace Talks_2 Chapter 1014: Chapter 649: Rejecting Peace Talks_2 Lu Yuanming was an orphan; he had never known what his parents looked like since he was a child.
His only mory was of always being with an old beggar, begging along the streets for a living.
At the age of six, when the old beggar passed away, the frail Lu Yuanming was left to survive on his own.
Without the protection of the old beggar, he had once been starving to the point of being skin and bones, and when he was on the brink of death, a tall and young figure appeared in front of Lu Yuanming.
From that point on, Lu Yuanming gained a foster father, who taught him martial arts and sent him to school.
Lu Yuanming lived up to expectations; he had experienced various human tragedies, which made him cherish the present even more.
Despite having no foundation in martial arts, he still managed to reach the rank of D-level Martial Artist in just three years.
...
While learning in the school, Lu Yuanming also never fell behind in every test; he nearly always ca out on top.
At eighteen, Lu Yuanming took over the business from his foster father.
Intent on repaying him, he worked daringly and fearlessly, sotis even risking his life for a deal worth a few tens of thousands.
Starting from the bottom, Lu Yuanming steadily beca his foster father’s right-hand man, until twenty years ago, when his foster father was frad and retired…
At this mont, Lu Yuanming’s eyes were slightly hollow; he had fallen into an endless sea of mories.
Beside Lu Yuanming, a young man nad Lu Li was staring straight at Liu Liu across from him.
As the future successor of the Lu family’s third generation, Lu Li could be said to have a prestigious status.
The reason he stood out among many siblings was due to his hard work.
At the age of thirty-one, Lu Li had already obtained a double master’s degree from Arica and was a genuine A-level Martial Artist.
Although breaking through A-level might be difficult for him in the short term given his talent, there was still hope for him to beco a half-step Grandmaster in this lifeti.
As a mid-ranking A-level Martial Artist, the person Lu Li admired the most was his grandfather, Lu Yuanming, who possessed the strength of a mid-ranking Great Grandmaster.
Even when compared to the ten famous Grandmasters that shook the entire Hua Country, he was hardly inferior.
In Lu Li’s eyes, his grandfather was the pinnacle of martial arts, an invincible existence.
However, now, upon hearing that the seemingly frail and delicate young girl across from him had a grandfather who was a peak-level Great Grandmaster, just one step away from the legendary realm of the gods, Lu Li felt as though his blood was flowing backward.
The first thing he thought was that the other party was spouting nonsense; such old monsters couldn’t possibly exist in this world.
However, when Lu Li’s gaze shifted to the young man beside him, and he saw Mr.
Chu from Modu displaying an air of calm indifference, Lu Li had to admit that if such words ca from Mr.
Chu, there should be no reason for him to deceive himself!
If all of this was true, it ant that there really were beings on this earth who were infinitely close to gods.
At this mont, Lu Li was breathing rapidly, and it took him quite a while before he managed to control his breath.
However, when his gaze fell on the young woman across from him again, his eyes were already filled with an indescribable brilliance.
If he could win over this young girl, it would also an that he would have a peak-level Great Grandmaster as a backing…
If that were the case, not to ntion his own Lu family, but even Mr.
Chu from Modu would have to show him so respect.
At that ti, with the vast world at his disposal, he could do whatever he wished.
While the young master of the Lu family was engrossed in his fantasies, Lu Yuanming across from him took a deep breath.
He finally snapped out of his thoughts and staring directly at the delicate girl opposite him, Lu Yuanming slowly spoke,
“Liu Liu…
how is your grandfather doing?”
At this mont, Lu Yuanming’s expression was incredibly complex, but in his eyes, there was a glimr of light as well.
The girl nad Liu Liu on the opposite side took a gentle breath, then spoke earnestly,
“Uncle Lu, my grandfather is doing very well.
Right now, he is in seclusion.
If this seclusion is successful, grandfather will reach the legendary realm!”
As Liu Liu’s voice fell, Lu Yuanming slightly furrowed his brow, pondered for a mont, and then spoke seriously,
“Liu Liu, since you are the descendant of Elder Liu, we are family.
If you encounter any problems in Modu, you can co to , and your uncle will surely help you solve them.
Besides, you and Lu Li are about the sa age.
You young people should interact more.”
With those words from Lu Yuanming, the young man nad Lu Li beside him lit up with excitent.
He could naturally infer the implication in his grandfather’s words.
Clearly, the Family Head of the Lu family was intending to bring Liu Liu into the Lu family, which was precisely what Lu Li desired.
Chu Mo, standing to one side, slightly narrowed his eyes.
His intent today was rely to test Lu Yuanming’s attitude, to see how he would react upon hearing the news about the senior Liu.
Now it seed that Lu Yuanming had not shown the slightest inclination of returning the property; on the contrary, he intended to take Liu Liu into the Lu family.
In doing so, not only could they give Liu Ping an explanation, but they also wouldn’t have to return the assets worth several hundred billion!
Chu Mo had already understood Lu Yuanming’s thoughts and was not surprised.
After all, the Lu family’s assets amounted to eight hundred and eighty billion, ranking them among the top five in Hua Country—a veritable top family.
How could such a family willingly give away a fortune to soone else?
Of course, both Chu Mo and Liu Ping had anticipated this outco, which was why this eting had taken place.
Chu Mo’s expression remained unchanged, and he no longer discussed other matters, instead focusing intently on the dishes before him.
As the wine flowed for the third ti and the banquet neared its end, with the two father and son of the Lu family about to leave, Chu Mo noticed a subtle anxiety flickering in the eyes of the young master of the Lu family across from him.
Evidently, the young man nad Lu Li did not wish to leave just yet.
In his heart, he was still preoccupied with the Longevity Club mbership, and his glance would occasionally drift towards Liu Liu.
In the eyes of the young Lu master, Liu Liu had beco the focal point of his next conquest.
Unfortunately for Lu Li, Chu Mo did not afford him that opportunity.
Originally, had Lu Yuanming been sensible and willingly returned the family wealth to Liu Liu, Chu Mo naturally would have given Lu Li face and allowed him to beco a mber of the Longevity Club as compensation.
But now, since the other party had shown no intention of compromise, Chu Mo naturally would not consider allowing him to beco a mber of the Longevity Club.
Seeing that Chu Mo had not extended an invitation, Lu Li, in the end, had no choice but to leave with his grandfather.
And at this mont, not until the two Lu family mbers had disappeared did Chu Mo, standing atop the tallest building in Magic Capital, let out a slight sigh.
Chu Mo’s gaze drifted down to the bustling streets below.
The entire Magic Capital was a city that never slept.
From his vantage point hundreds of ters high, he could even take in the whole city at a glance.
Liu Liu, beside him, was clearly distracted.
Chu Mo simply waved his hand and said,
“Dong Xun’er, please take Miss Liu down to rest.”
Although Liu Liu seed to want to say more, under Dong Xun’er’s guidance, she obediently departed.
anwhile, standing beside Chu Mo—Qin Lan, a slender woman standing at one ter seventy-five—slowly spoke up,
“Mr.
Chu, this Lu Yuanming does not seem as simple as he appears on the surface.
When I locked eyes with him, I tried to probe a bit but couldn’t fathom his strength at all.
At a conservative estimate, this Lu Yuanming might be a peak mid-tier Great Grandmaster, just a step away from being a high-tier Great Grandmaster!
Quite troubleso.”
Chu Mo nodded slightly, his thoughts suddenly turning to the other several families among the four great clans.
The Lu family was rely the most ordinary among the four great families, and the other three were also behemoth-like entities.
Since the Lu family had chosen to resist, the others would probably not be so easy to compromise with.
Chu Mo knew he was likely to be very busy for so ti to co.
