From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 355 - 261 Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization
Chapter 355: Chapter 261 Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization
The lights had just come on.
The Atriel Club was glowing with a dim blue light.
According to the information provided by Chen Linian, it indicated that the intermediary called Christopher was in this club.
This club was a bit special—it was an international chain club for power users.
On the surface, it appeared to offer a place of leisure and entertainment for power users, but in reality, the club provided special services.
These included but were not limited to Crystal Core transactions, information brokering, and services to satisfy individual special desires.
Of course, the prerequisite for enjoying these was possessing top-tier combat power.
The moment superpower users appeared, societal structure inevitably changed.
Superpower users were destined to receive privilege, provided they were power users with strong combat power.
The more chaotic the order, the greater the class disparity.
Da Xia was already one of the countries with the best order in the world, but even so, it could only maintain the order from collapsing.
Ordinary people living in Da Xia had no idea to what extent societies outside of Da Xia had collapsed after the Abyss Descent.
Huntington, a political scientist from the White Eagle Federation, once mentioned in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" that Da Xia was a civilization disguised as a nation.
This statement was actually imbued with malice, but what it described was very close to the truth.
The people on this land were tenacious, hardworking, intelligent, with the longest civilization heritage among humans.
Of the four ancient civilizations in the human world, only one remains today, not without reason.
The time entered the end of December of Abyss Descent, a time with special significance.
In ten more days, the Abyss Descent would reach its first anniversary.
In this year, the world order had undergone huge changes; some countries had declined due to the Abyss invasion, and some small countries had even completely disappeared in the fog.
The future fog would see more and more Abyss Demons emerge, the human world would accelerate its fall into the Abyss, and human living conditions would become increasingly harsh.
Under severe living conditions, some chose to raise their swords against demons, while others turned their guns towards their own kind.
This was the difference between civilization and savagery.
...
8:16 PM.
This was when the Atriel Club just started to get lively. Many power users gathered here to indulge in the lights and wines, reveling without restraint.
Across the street from the Atriel Club, a sedan was parked at the curb.
Lu Heng sat inside the car, looking at the club’s logo.
The logo was six white light letters spelling "Atriel."
This power user club would become very famous in future times, spreading all over the world, forming a special network for power users’ information.
Fifteen minutes before, Lu Heng had received a message from Chen Linian and came here with Su Muyu.
At this moment, Mu Yu was sitting in the passenger seat, her eyes closed, conducting reconnaissance.
Her vision was entirely on the Chongming Bird as she began to scout the Atriel Club.
Two minutes later, Mu Yu abruptly opened her eyes and said, "Found him, but my Chongming Bird has been detected too."
This operation was very forceful and used thunderous methods.
So when Mu Yu conducted the reconnaissance, she directly controlled the Chongming Bird to fly into the Atriel Club.
After all, this club was an international power user club, and indeed there were top-tier power users inside.
The Chongming Bird flew directly into the club to search. Although invisible, it was certain to be discovered at such close range.
Lu Heng didn’t mind that their operation was discovered—as long as they were fast enough.
Mu Yu spoke rapidly, "He’s in room 207. He probably got the message and has already left the room, entering the elevator."
Lu Heng put on a mask and a hood, pushed the car door open and got out, walking towards the club while speaking into the communicator, "Confirm the floor."
"The elevator reached the 25th floor, the doors opened, and he entered an invisible state. He must be on guard and is trying to escape," Mu Yu continued her report.
Lu Heng sprinted and jumped high, using "Void Flash" in mid-air. In a blink, he was on the 25th floor of the Atriel Club.
"Room 2501," Mu Yu kept reporting the room number.
Lu Heng walked to the door of room 2501, ready to break in, when suddenly the door swung open from the inside.
But there was nothing behind the door.
There was nothing to see, but the distance was so close, Lu Heng could even hear the other person’s breathing.
Clearly, the person had entered an invisible state.
At such close distance, plus Lu Heng’s heightened perception, this level of invisibility was catchable even with his eyes shut.
Lu Heng raised his hand to grab the man’s throat, shoved him into the room, and slammed him against the wall with a "bang."
The invisible man took a heavy hit, let out a muffled groan, and gradually emerged from invisibility, revealing his appearance.
He was a Caucasian male in his forties with brown hair and blue eyes. He had tanned, making his skin tone darker.
Pinned against the wall by his neck, he grabbed Lu Heng’s wrists, struggling fiercely.
He had been holding a carry-on bag, which now fell to the floor with a "clatter."
The man flipped his right palm over and pulled out a Browning pistol.
Lu Heng casually took it, pressed it against his head, and flicked the safety off.
"Don’t! Who are you? We’ve never met," the Caucasian male, realizing that struggling was futile, quickly tried to communicate.
"Christopher?" Lu Heng said his name.
"I... I am Christopher Sanchez... a citizen of the Lion Heart Empire. I know the Lion Heart Empire’s ambassador in Da Xia; you better not hurt me," he immediately stated his identity, indicating his connection with the ambassador.
