Jiang Yan gritted her teeth.

He originally thought that today's trip was a sure thing.

Who would have thought that Lu Yuan would refuse so thoroughly!

So what if he's the eldest son of the Lu family?

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Their Shenhai Beast Shop has some influence in Yandu. If you dare to offend them, aren't you afraid that your pet shop will go out of business?

He was indeed too young and didn't consider things thoroughly enough, thinking he could beat everyone.

Unlike the previous store manager, who agreed to his conditions without saying a word.

This kid has absolutely no idea what's going on!

“Mr. Jiang, I think you may not have understood what I meant.” Lu Yuan smiled and looked at Jiang Yan.

"What?" Jiang Yan frowned.

Lu Yuan leaned forward, staring intently into Jiang Yan's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The current situation is not one for you to threaten. Instead, your Divine Sea Beast Shop should seriously consider how to improve your relationship with me. I can decide whether to expose your shameless behavior based on your attitude!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's cold tone, Jiang Yan's face grew even more unpleasant.

"Very well! I'd like to see how you plan to turn this situation around!"

As someone from the Divine Sea Beast Shop, he was always treated with respect wherever he went. This was the first time he had been repeatedly humiliated and rebuffed.

It's not that he looks down on Lu Yuan.

Rather, this pet shop is completely beyond saving.

If he hadn't stumbled upon a flyer for the Divine Beast Pavilion at the Lihao Hotel and followed the address to discover that it was actually the former Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, he would have completely forgotten that there was such a pet shop in Yandu!

They've already poached all his customers; he can't think of any way to save himself.

Does this young master really think that changing the shop name will revive the pet shop?

"Then please wait and see."

Lu Yuan shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yan angrily shook her hand and immediately turned and left.

You can't reason with a devil who's courting death. He's just waiting to see how the Divine Beast Pavilion announces its closure!

After Jiang Yan stormed off, Lu Zeyu looked preoccupied.

At first, he was very worried that Lu Yuan would distance himself from him again because of Jiang Yan, after all, he was still burdened with the task of finding out how Lu Yuan had raised the divine beast cub.

But after witnessing Jiang Yan's firm attitude, his mind gradually became more active.

Ultimately, his most important task was to cooperate with the Grand Elder to kill Lu Yuan.

Now that Lu Yuan has completely clashed with the people of the Divine Sea Beast Shop, it's the perfect opportunity for him to make his move.

If we join forces with the people from the Divine Sea Beast Shop and cooperate with the assassins sent by the Grand Elder, taking down Lu Yuan will be an easy task.

He was fed up with being bullied and ostracized by Lu Yuan every day!

Just as Lu Zeyu's thoughts were starting to wander, Lu Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Old Mu, tie him up!"

The words were spoken.

Without saying a word, Mu Ruxing directly put Lu Zeyu's hands behind his back and used only one hand to firmly restrain him.

"What are you doing?! Young Master, what do you mean by this?" Lu Zeyu suddenly came to his senses and stared at Lu Yuan, questioning him.

"Jiang Yan was someone you found, wasn't she?" Lu Yuan asked casually.

"It was indeed me who contacted them, but he was the one who reached out to me first. Before that, I had no idea that the Divine Sea Beast Shop was after this!" Lu Zeyu explained, feigning grievance.

He originally thought the worst-case scenario would be that Lu Yuan would send him back to the capital, but who knew that he would be arrested directly.

It seems he needs to quickly inform the Grand Elder and contact the Divine Sea Beast Shop to coordinate an attack from within and without, and get rid of Lu Yuan as soon as possible!

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Yuan looked at him with a half-smile. "You won't have another chance to contact the Grand Elder."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zeyu's eyes widened immediately.

Realizing something, he quickly lowered his head, making a puzzled expression.

"Young Master, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

Lu Yuan sneered, "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. There's no need to explain it so clearly to a dead man!"

As he spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Mu Ruxing.

"Seize everything from him, then kill him. Make sure to cover your tracks so no one finds out!"

"Yes!" Mu Ruxing replied.

"Young Master?! Why do you want to kill me? I only did something wrong because I believed the lies told by that Jiang!"

Whether it was an act or he was genuinely terrified, Lu Zeyu broke down in tears as he recounted his ordeal.

In response to this.

Lu Yuan remained unmoved, looking at him indifferently, and suddenly said, "By the way, the gift you prepared for our first night in Yandu was really terrible."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zeyu, who had been struggling, seemed to be put on pause, staring blankly at Lu Yuan.

Immediately, his eyes turned venomous.

"You know! You knew from the beginning that I was sent by the Grand Elder to infiltrate your ranks, didn't you? You knew all along that I was here to kill you, didn't you?!"

Faced with Lu Zeyu's hoarse questioning, Lu Yuan picked at his ear.

"The sound is too loud, too noisy."

The words were spoken.

Mu Ruxing raised her knife and brought it down. Lu Zeyu fell to the ground, powerless, his wide-open eyes still fixed on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan remained expressionless as he sat at the table, leisurely sipping his tea.

Mu Ruxing took everything off Lu Zeyu's body, unlocked his phone, handed it to Lu Yuan, and then summoned the monstrous python, which swallowed Lu Zeyu's corpse whole.

The pet shop was spotless, not even a drop of blood remained.

Lu Yuan fiddled with Lu Zeyu's phone.

Most of the content consisted of reporting his movements and news to the Grand Elder, but because he was very wary of Lu Zeyu, there was nothing useful in this content.

He casually put the phone away, deciding that for the next twenty days or so, he would be the one to report to the Grand Elder in Lu Zeyu's place.

He didn't want to be exposed so soon, after all, there were still many important things to do.

After making a rough plan in my mind, a commotion suddenly came from the doorway, and a van stopped outside the store.

"Manager Lu, your pet cub has arrived!"

"They're here!"

Lu Yuan stopped thinking about anything else and quickly went out to greet them.

Yu Yi was directing the workers to move containers when he saw Lu Yuan come out. He quickly smiled and went up to him, extending a hand.

"Manager Lu?"

"It's me."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then reached out and shook hands with him.

"Jiayi has been praising you to the skies, saying you're the best in the world. This is the first time I've ever seen her sing someone's praises so effusively. Seeing this today, I can see that a young hero is indeed a prodigy!"

Although Yu Yi and Lu Yuan were meeting for the first time, he could sense an extremely dense and unique spiritual energy surrounding Lu Yuan, which he had never seen in anyone else.

So at a glance, he could tell that Lu Yuan was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Yu is too kind." Lu Yuan smiled lightly, and his calm and composed attitude impressed Yu Yi even more.

"This is the order form. Store Manager Lu, please take a look." Yu Yi handed the order form to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took it, checked it over, and signed his name after confirming that everything was correct.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu. The final payment will be transferred to your account shortly."

"No rush, you were recommended by Jiayi, I trust you!"

After unloading all the pet cubs, Yu Yi said goodbye to Lu Yuan and drove away.

Looking at the dazzling array of pet cubs before him, Lu Yuan was filled with enthusiasm.

"Without further ado, let's begin the mythological baptism now!"
