Chapter 854 Returning To The Capital

After reaching an agreement with Stone, Lu Yu followed him to his villa at the edge of the city.

As a prominent family in Lionheart City, the Omar family had built many villas here for their family to live in groups.

There were more than 20 villas in this area, all arranged evenly.

Stone gave Lu Yu and Han Xuefei a villa to stay in.

When everything was done, it was already evening.

Lu Yu and Han Xuefei sat on the sofa and watched TV.

The news on TV was describing Lu Yu’s battle in the colosseum.

This news had already made the headlines in the entire Lionheart City and gone viral.

They were all curious about Lu Yu, as the strength and ident.i.ty of this outsider were a mystery to them.

However, someone soon discovered some of Lu Yu’s deeds.

On the Freedom Federation’s internet, Lu Yu was quite famous. Although his popularity had decreased over time, he was still a hot topic.

The people of Lionheart City gradually understood Lu Yu’s situation.

Of course, what they knew was only what was on the surface. The real Lu Yu could not be gleaned from these news reports.

Lu Yu sat on the sofa and suddenly thought of something. “Do you think Elizabeth won’t be able to find us if she looks for us?”

Han Xuefei was worried after hearing that. “You can call her and explain the situation to her.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and took out his phone to call Elizabeth.

After a short wait, Elizabeth answered the call.

“Lu Yu, I was just about to look for you.”

“Is that so? I see my call is quite timely; we’ve moved from the hotel.”

“I’m looking for you to tell you that you should leave Lionheart City as soon as possible. The royal family wants to know who caused Walter’s death. If they find out it’s you, they will not let you go safely.”

“All the more reason for you to leave this place. Didn’t you hear that the Defender General would return soon? At that time, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!”

Elizabeth persuaded Lu Yu worriedly.

“You don’t have to worry about my situation. Do you still remember what I told you before we came?”

Elizabeth was still worried. “What should I do? Our plan won’t be that easy to succeed.”

“I’ll take care of the matter. Don’t worry.”

After some small talk, Lu Yu hung up the phone.

Today was the last day of Isabel’s demands. If Elizabeth failed to bring Lu Yu back to the royal family, she would be locked up in a dark room.

In the meeting hall, Isabel waited with a few servants. Today was the last day of her demands, and if Elizabeth could not bring back the real murderer, they would arrange for her charges.

Elizabeth’s figure appeared at the door and slowly walked in.

Looking at her lonely figure, Isabel couldn’t help but laugh.

“My good sister, why didn’t you bring him here? Did that person abandon you? He fled?”

“This is normal. After all, if he enters the palace, there is no possibility of him leaving.”

Elizabeth walked in and looked at her sister. She said helplessly, “So what if you find him? We can’t do anything to him.”

Isabel slapped the armrest angrily and questioned her sister, “What do you mean? We, the royal family of the Lionheart Empire, the world’s top power, can’t do anything to him? Who exactly is he? Do you have the guts to even reveal his name?”

“I didn’t want to say it at first, but since he has already revealed his ident.i.ty, I do not need to continue hiding it.”

Hearing this, Isabel paused and immediately realized something.

“He has already revealed his ident.i.ty… Are you talking about that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Lu Yu?”

Instantly, she clenched her fists, and the anger in her heart burned.

“That’s right; it’s him…” Elizabeth replied straightforwardly. At this point, there was no need to hide anything.

“Great, Lu Yu is the enemy of the royal family, and you are Lu Yu’s friend? Why? Are you going to betray us?”

Elizabeth would not dare acknowledge such a claim. Otherwise, what awaited her would not be as simple as being locked up in a dark room.

“Absolutely not. You’re all my family. How could I betray you?”

“Alright then, from today onwards, you are cutting off all contact with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Go to the dark room and face the wall!”

Elizabeth’s frail body trembled involuntarily.

The dark room is the royal family’s punishment room. It was all dark, and the person who entered the room would have their vision taken away. The room was placed in absolute silence, and even a pin drop would be deafening.

The people who stayed inside would lose their five senses and be shrouded in endless fear of the unknown.

Although it wouldn’t cause too much harm to the body, it would hurt mentally.

Elizabeth stood rooted to the ground, unable to return to her senses.

“I… I don’t want to go in!”

She rejected with a trembling voice.

“That’s not up to you. You know your mistakes, and I’m not targeting you intentionally. Guards!”

Two knights in silver armor walked out and stood on either side of Elizabeth.

“Take her and lock her up for three days!”

“Three days later, when the Defender General returns, we will release her!”

“Yes!”

The two knights held Elizabeth by her arms and carried her out.

A strong sense of fear arose in Elizabeth’s heart. Staying in such a dark room for three days without eating or drinking was definitely a kind of mental and physical torture.

However, she knew that begging for mercy was useless. She could only let herself be taken away toward the dark room.

…

Time pa.s.sed quickly. As the day of the return of the Defender General approached, the entire Lionheart City began to prepare for a celebration.

On the streets, many shops hung up welcoming banners. Some merchants also took the opportunity to organize events, making the streets more lively than ever before.

Everyone in Lionheart City knew that the Defender General was the number one hero in the Lionheart Empire. He defended their homeland against countless foreign enemies.

The second greatest hero in their hearts was Elizabeth. Her life was not extravagant and lavish compared to that of the other royal family members. Her good deeds saved untold numbers of the poor in the Lionheart Empire.

The two heroes, one man and one woman, were publicly acknowledged as heroes by everyone in the Lionheart Kingdom.

Soon, it was time for the return of the Defender General.

Early in the morning, the streets of Lionheart City were filled with a sea of people.

Lu Yu and the members of the Omar family got ready to set off.
