Chapter 7 Kidnapping
Lu Yi walked into the toilet cubicle and flushed the cigarette into the toilet.
The small card was only the size of a palm, and had seven words written lightly on it.
——The leader dies, and reforms lead to disputes.
Just two sentences and seven words, but the content behind them is like a storm.
Although all races on the Isaiah continent are now living in harmony, this does not mean absolute friendliness.
When disputes arose among the beastmen, other races that were interested in doing good would inevitably take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and reap some benefits.
The fact that the beastmen were able to send him this news despite the pressure shows that this dispute is quite serious.
Of course, Lu Yi would not think that it was his own ability that attracted the rabbit-eared orcs. The rabbit-eared orcs must have recognized the power behind him.
Choosing the Klein family must have been a decision they had carefully considered.
There are many empires standing in the human territory. Although the New Victory Empire led by the Victor royal family is not one of the most powerful countries, the rich resources in its territory are unmatched by anyone.
The terrain is extremely excellent, and the division of domestic aristocratic forces is relatively simple.
The Klein family was well known for their bravery and fighting prowess. As a new noble family, although they were prominent, they still had shallow roots, so it was not surprising that they would come to them.
I just don't know whether this group of people are reformists or conservatives.
There is not much expansion about the orcs in the original text, most of which are just simple summaries like background boards.
This is a rare opportunity for Lu Yi now.
But what does this have to do with the Vincent family?
If the beastmen have already taken over the Vincent family, why would they seek help from the Klein family?
It was no secret that the Vincents and Kleins were at odds.
Or should I say——
This tavern, which is apparently controlled by the Vincent family, actually hides another force in secret?
The slight warmth from the ring on his finger interrupted Lu Yi's thoughts.
It's a sound transmission stone.
Lu Yi put the small card into the space ring and took out the sound stone.
"Hello, can you hear me? It clearly says it's connected."
"I can hear you. If you have something to say, please tell me."
"Lu Yi, why did you take so long to go to the toilet? You didn't just leave, did you?!"
Lu Yi thought to himself, I really want to just leave.
"No, I'm smoking in the bathroom."
"No, if you want to lie to me, why don't you choose a better reason? Everyone knows that you, Young Master Lu Yi, hate the smell of cigarettes the most. This is too perfunctory for me!"
"You know it, but you're still asking, what's the matter?"
"…Nothing, I just wanted to ask where you are. I'll go find you now. I'm a little, um…"
The bathroom door opened and Shimona rushed in, hugging the sink and vomiting all over the place.
A waiter stood outside the door, looking in anxiously.
"Please bring me a glass of water."
"Okay!" said the waiter, flattered.
Lu Yi took out a clean handkerchief, wet it and handed it to him.
Ximona took the handkerchief and said in embarrassment, "Thank you."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Yes, I just feel a little shocked." Ximona's eyes wandered. "You were right to leave early. This scale is not suitable for a man who has just entered adulthood."
"Hmm? Haven't you been here before?"
"Hey, they left early last time because of something, and I didn't see the nightclub at all! Who knew this bar could be so big!"
Shimona took the water handed to him by the waiter.
"Then you're still pretending to be at ease." Lu Yi teased.
"I was thinking that it was me who invited you to come. If I ran away, wouldn't it be embarrassing..."
"Come on." Lu Yi was too lazy to complain about his behavior of being too stubborn and suffering. "Do you want to leave? Or go see the bunny-eared girl you've been thinking about."
Lu Yi paused strangely, hesitated for two seconds and still did not tell Shimona the truth.
It’s not that I don’t want to tell him the truth, but now is not a good time to tell him the truth.
Lu Yi didn't want this to affect Shimona's final exam.
Ximona didn't notice Lu Yi's hesitation and said without thinking: "Let's go!"
"As for the bunny-eared girl..." His cheeks turned red again, "I want to wait until after the final exam to see her."
If he does well in the final exam, his family will reward him with some good things.
Shimona didn't want to go to see her sweetheart empty-handed.
"Alright."
The two walked outside.
"Where do I pay?" Lu Yi asked.
"…Just now a waiter asked if I wanted to record my name."
Lu Yi had a bad feeling, "You're not going to send the bill directly to my family, are you?"
“…I did tell you that you would pay the bill later, but the waiter was probably new, and he hurriedly left when he heard Klein’s last name.”
"Thank you so much." Lu Yi said gritting his teeth.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Shimona remained as quiet as a chicken the rest of the way, fearing that Lu Yi would do something ruthless to him out of impulse.
Lu Yi adapted well to this quiet atmosphere, and his inner depression also dissipated a little.
Until the familiar black steam car appeared again in the rearview mirror.
“It’s endless…”
Lu Yi took out a dark crystal stone and said, "Shimona, if the car behind us speeds up and approaches us, you aim and hit it."
The power of explosive stones is average, but ordinary people can use them.
Under high-speed impact, it is a piece of cake for dozens of ignited explosive stones to destroy a car.
"Oh my god." Shimona picked up the explosive stone in a hurry, "This thing is easy to explode."
"If the bomb doesn't kill anyone, why panic?"
"Just throw them away randomly? Throw away all of them?" Shimona confirmed again.
The main reason why explosive stone has not been widely popularized despite its low threshold for use is its high cost.
A plain-looking crystal stone costs several gold coins.
The cost performance ratio is extremely low.
You should know that many families of three do not use even one gold coin in a year.
"Just throw it away." Lu Yi said without hesitation.
Shimona inexplicably felt a sense of shock called arrogance.
"Leave it to me!"
Shimona stuck his head out, aimed at the vehicle behind him and threw it hard.
The explosive stone hit the front window of the black steam car accurately.
"Bang--"
A huge hole was blown out in the car window in an instant.
The black steam car tried to fight back, but seemed to be concerned about Lu Yi being in the car, so it just threw out a few explosive stones.
The Type IX Enchanted Steam Cart had strong defense, and with Lu Yi's graceful movement, the explosive stones thrown by the black steam car couldn't even make a hole in the Type IX Enchanted Steam Cart.
Shimona pointed at the hole and threw several explosive stones in pursuit.
The continuous explosions sounded like drumbeats, and the scattered fireworks were like mini meteors.
"Hehe, I can't kill you with the bomb!"
The performance of the old steam car was average to begin with. After holding on for a few minutes, it broke down on the spot. In a few breaths, Lu Yi left it far behind and no trace of it could be seen anymore.
"How is it? Is it relaxing to throw the explosive stones?" Lu Yi asked.
"That's awesome! I used to think that explosive rocks were useless, but I didn't expect them to be so fun to throw!"
Lu Yi was about to speak when a steam train suddenly appeared at the next intersection and was about to hit him.
Lu Yi quickly changed direction.
But the steam train was clearly coming towards him. The two steam trains travelling at high speed were unable to turn in time and collided violently with each other.
Lu Yi crashed into the driving platform and fainted on the spot.
A few minutes later, another old black steam car stopped at the scene of the accident.
Several masked men got out of the car and carried the two men away swiftly.
…
After making the bet, if Lu Yi had been studying diligently, then Bart Vincent was living the life he had always dreamed of.
When the owner learned that he had gambled away the canning factory by the moat in the suburbs, he was furious.
But soon, the anger turned into joy.
That canning factory was one of their bases for connecting with the orcs. It was not worth much in itself and had even been making losses.
Even if Bart loses, they can move their base and suffer no loss.
Moreover, considering Klein's mock test score of six points, Vincent's family head thought that this bet was a sure win.
But it was no coincidence that Louis Klein specifically requested that cannery.
Is this a test from the Klein family?
Or a provocation?
Patriarch Vincent had anticipated that this matter would definitely not be hidden from Klein.
After all, Klein has a foundation of so many years and countless overt and covert industrial forces. It is only a matter of time before he is discovered.
But he didn't expect Klein to discover the clues so quickly.
He still underestimated the capabilities of the Klein family.
But even though Klein had been shrewd and calculating all his life, in the end he gave birth to a useless waste like little Klein.
It's really retribution.
So what if the heir Astor Klein performs well? Lu Yi Klein will be a deadly drag!
Vincent couldn't help but smile.
Bart immediately went up to him with a tactful look and flattered him, "Father, I will definitely take the top spot in this final exam! Give little Klein a slap in the face! This young man is too arrogant and even dares to provoke the Vincent family.
“I’m going to teach him a lesson on behalf of my father this time. I think he will be terrified the next time he hears the name of the Vincent Family!
“Father has just assumed the position of Patriarch, and Klein has cooperated so well and offered his face to you to establish your authority. Father is indeed the chosen Patriarch of Vincent! He will definitely lead the Vincent Family to new glory!!”
Bart spoke with such confidence that he did not even consider the possibility of failure.
"Yes, you are worthy of being a child of our Vincent family. I was not wrong about you."
Vincent now even looked at Bart with favor.
However, as the head of a family, even though he was secretly happy in his heart, Vincent looked very calm on the surface.
"But kid, remember that arrogance leads to destruction. Even if the outcome is certain, you must take one steady step at a time. After all, your past achievements are not as sure as you say."
He even had the mind to hit Bart.
Of course, it is necessary to give a sweet reward after a beating.
"I remember you wanted a Type VII Enchanted Steam Car. You can drive the one in my garage first. It's a gift from your father."
It's impossible to remember, Vincent was just saying it casually.
For the playboys who are unable to delegate power, the rewards they can give out are nothing more than those things.
Manor, car, magic equipment.
The only reason he could give it away so easily was because he had switched to a Type VIII enchanted steam car.
But that was enough for Bart.
He could already imagine the envious and fawning looks of his new followers.
Bart smiled and walked out of the hall.
His followers were standing outside the door as loyally as pugs, looking forward to seeing him!
