Chapter 726 The Awakening Ceremony Begins

After the call ended, Lu Yu and the others looked at Qin Yang.

“It seems like your father is determined to start a war with the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce.” Xu Yuan sighed.

“If we don’t move now, they will take the initiative. This is something that will happen sooner or later, so instead of sitting here and waiting for them to make a move, why don’t we strike first?” Qin Yang smiled faintly, and he did not feel any pressure about this.

“How did the grudge between the two groups come about?” Lu Yu asked.

“I know that you’re all merchants. It’s normal for there to be compet.i.tion, but it’s rare for you two to fight to the death.”

Qin Yang sighed heavily and lowered his head slightly. “In the past, our two groups were balanced in power, so it was too risky to attack us. ”

“After all, many other forces are eyeing us from the outside. If we fight and both sides suffer, it won’t benefit anyone.”

“However, their strength has been dramatically enhanced over the past few decades. Now, we are no longer their match, and they will definitely try to take us down for the sake of great benefits. ”

At that moment, Lu Yu thought of the Truth Department. “It looks like the source of these problems is the Truth Department. They gave the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce the method to make the truth potions. ”

Qin Yang stood up and looked out of the window. “It’s getting late. Rest early. We have to attend the awakening ceremony tomorrow.”

With that, he walked out.

Xu Yuan and the others stood up and returned to their respective rooms.

It was late at night. After they returned to their rooms, they quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Lu Yu woke up in his bed.

The amenities in this hotel were just bare bones, so Lu Yu couldn’t even take a shower. After a simple wash of his face, he left his hotel room.

The five came downstairs and stood at the entrance, looking at the hurried crowd before them.

“Have you all eaten breakfast?” Lu Yu asked.

Xu Yuan quickly nodded. “I have a lot of food in my storage ring. It’s enough for me to eat for a long time. ”

“We can also experience the local delicacies here. It might be good.” Qin Yang suggested with a smile.

“This is the slums. What good food can there be? Let’s prepare and head to where they are holding the ceremony.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he took out his phone and looked at the map.

“From the satellite map, there’s only a large square here with large factories and office buildings next to it. The ceremony should be held there.”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he looked to the side of the street and pointed in a direction.

“Let’s walk this way. We’ll be there soon.”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.

After walking for a while, they saw an office building not far away.

This office building was only six stories high, so it was a dwarf compared to the skysc.r.a.pers in the big cities. However, it still towered over the rest of the buildings here.

Soon, they arrived at an empty square.

In the center of the square, there was a huge stone pillar. All kinds of mysterious patterns were carved on it, and it contained an ancient energy aura.

“This is the place.”

Even before he got close, Lu Yu was sure the awakening ceremony would begin here.

“They haven’t arrived yet.” Qin Yang looked around but did not see anyone gathering.

“Let’s wait a moment.”

The square was surrounded by an iron net, with guards at the entrance. Not everyone could enter this place freely.

Obviously, Lu Yu and the others weren’t allowed to enter this area. However, it was not a problem for them to stand to the side and watch.

One after another, many people gathered around the entrance. They were all dressed in tattered clothes. With one look, one could tell that they were refugees.

They were gathered here today, and without a doubt, they were the partic.i.p.ants of the awakening ceremony.

Lu Yu scanned the crowd but did not see An Lan and An Heng.

At that moment, a luxurious black car sped over. It braked abruptly and stopped, raising up a cloud of dust.

The car door opened, and a man in a suit walked out.

There was a name tag hanging on his chest with his t.i.tle and name written on it.

General manager, Xin Hang!

The man in the suit had greasy hair with a center parting and wore large sungla.s.ses. He looked das.h.i.+ng and laughed when he looked at the crowd.

“I didn’t expect you all to be this enthusiastic. Now, let’s begin the awakening ceremony!”

He quickly walked to the gates, took out a key, and opened them.

The crowd gathered at the entrance was extremely excited.

Today was the day that would change their lives. They would complete their awakening here, leave this h.e.l.lish place, and live a better life.

Every one of them prayed intently, hoping they would awaken a strong talent. If they could awaken such a talent, they would be heading to the peak of their lives!

Of course, some people were not confident, silently praying that they could at least awaken a basic talent. Otherwise, they could only stay here in this dark and smelly ditch.

The gates opened, and the refugees quickly walked in. Everyone was nervous, with some trembling, some sweating, and some swallowing their throats dryly every few seconds.

Some even turned pale, as if they were here to die.

At this moment, An Lan ran over quickly. She sighed in relief when she saw that the crowd had just entered.

Soon, she saw Lu Yu and the others standing next to her, and she smiled warmly.

“h.e.l.lo, you’re here so early.” An Lan walked over to greet him.

Lu Yu smiled and nodded. “Not really, but you’re late. You’re almost the last one here.”

“I won’t be able to see my younger brother soon. So I was just reminding him about stuff in case he doesn’t have a good life after I leave.”

Lu Yu looked behind her and asked, “Where’s An Heng? Isn’t he coming over today?”

“He’s distraught and doesn’t want to see me leave, so he doesn’t want to come over. But I know his personality, so I’m sure he’ll sneak over later. ”

“Alright, hurry up and go in. Get a start on your awakening ritual.”

An Lan took two steps toward the door, but she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Yu with a complicated expression.

“What you told me yesterday made me unable to sleep well. What is the truth? Why don’t you tell me directly?”

Lu Yu looked around and felt it was meaningless to say anything.

He wasn’t trying to be secretive, but it would be a ma.s.sive blow to An Lan and the others.
