After Sima Yu left with his men, the two siblings, Lu Shan and Lu Shui, who heard the commotion, also hurriedly ran down from upstairs.

The family of four then simply sat together, with Giovanna and the two children staring intently at Lu Yu.

“What are you looking at me for? It’s late. All of you go to bed!”

Under the scrutiny of his wife and two children, Lu Yu smiled a little helplessly.

“Be honest with me. What the hell have you been doing in the last few days?” Giovanna did not give Lu Yu a chance again this time. She rubbed her reddened eyes and said to Lu Yu.

The two siblings, Lu Shan and Lu Shui, were also staring with wide open eyes, looking fixedly at Lu Yu.

“That’s right, Dad. If you confess, you will get a lenient sentence. Otherwise, the punishment will be severe if you resist!”

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Lu Yu did not intend to tell the truth to make his family worry. So he simply cooked up a story to try to bluff his way out.

After hearing Lu Yu give a reasonable explanation, the two siblings, Lu Shan and Lu Shui, skipped away as if nothing had happened. They turned around and ran back upstairs to their bedrooms.

And after the two siblings left, Giovanna threw herself into Lu Yu’s arms again.

“I know you are hiding something because you don’t want me and the kids to worry.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell us. I know you will protect us well!”

“But don’t always carry everything on your shoulders alone. Don’t forget that I have my responsibility to this family too.”

As Giovanna finished speaking, she squirmed out of Lu Yu’s embrace and straightened up to face him directly.

“Alright. I will prepare the bath for you. You stink of blood all over.”

With that, Giovanna turned around and went upstairs, leaving Lu Yu sitting all alone in the living room.

As he watched his wife’s departing back profile, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

He didn’t know whether it was right or not to always take everything upon himself. However, he knew that this was the only way his wife and children would be safe.

“Phew. Looks like I’ll have to break through to the War General level soon. If I go on like this, it’s not a long-term solution.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yu became more and more determined to break through to the War General level as soon as possible.

The next morning, Lu Yu was dining with his family. Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Lu Yu took a look. It was a call from Commander Yao Xianming.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yu decided to answer the call.

“Commander Yao, I wonder why you have time to think of calling me personally when you are so busy with your myriad state affairs?”

When Yao Xianming on the other end of the line heard Lu Yu’s tone, his whole body froze momentarily. However, he recovered very quickly.

“Count of Western Conquest, I already know all about you being assassinated again by the Hu family, but I hope you can lay low these few days.”

“The capital is not too peaceful these days. I can’t always clean up after you either.”

Yao Xianming frowned as he spoke into the phone, completely disregarding the fact that he had sent people to spy on Lu Yu.

After listening to Yao Xianming’s words, Lu Yu on this end of the line couldn’t help but frown. An inexplicable fury in his heart suddenly erupted.

“Commander Yao, I, Lu Yu, respect you as a person. But some people came all the way to my home to make a move on my family!”

“Since you also said that you can’t always clean up after me, then let me, Lu Yu, solve these matters myself!”

“By the way, I almost forgot to tell you one thing. In the future, please do not send anyone to spy on my family anymore, Commander.”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, without giving Yao Xianming a chance to speak again, he simply ended the phone call.

After ending the phone call, Lu Yu’s entire demeanor became solemn and calm.

The change in the Commander made him realize something. From this moment on, the only one he could trust in this foreign place was himself.

By his side, Giovanna looked at her husband’s solemn expression, and did not say anything. She simply turned around quietly, lowered her head and continued eating breakfast with Lu Shan and Lu Shui.

Meanwhile, Wang Anyi and Mu Kangle also returned to the family with the

Ying family’s terms. They reported everything Ying Jiye said verbatim to the Wang family’s Patriarch, Wang Xingguo, and the Mu family’s Patriarch, Mu Yuncheng.

After listening to the terms proposed by the Ying family, Wang Xingguo and Mu Yuncheng instantly jumped up from their seats in shock.

“What!”

“This Ying family really has a big appetite. How dare they ask for a quarter of our Wang family’s assets?”

“If we really give a quarter of the assets to the Ying family, both our Wang and Mu families will suffer great losses!”

As Mu Yuncheng spoke, his expression became increasingly more unpleasant. Both he and Wang Xingguo genuinely did not foresee this situation before their eyes now.

As the two fretted over this, they turned to glare at Wang Tianci and Mu Qilin, who were kneeling by the two old men’s side. The elders could not help but rebuke them in a mad rage.

“Useless scum! Really useless scum! I, Wang Xingguo, fought hard all my life, yet how did I end up with such useless descendants like you!”

As Wang Xingguo spoke, he stood up and rushed to Wang Tianci before giving him a vicious kick with one leg.

Although Mu Yuncheng beside him did not blow his top like Wang Xingguo, he was still extremely furious.

After a while, Wang Xingguo was able to calm down after giving vent to his anger. However, his whole being still appeared very furious.

Looking at the exasperated Wang Xingguo, Mu Yuncheng opened his mouth and said, “Brother Wang, it seems like this time, we are going to have to hand over that quarter of the assets.”

“Hmph. At the moment, this is the only way to appease the Ying family. Otherwise, if the Ying family deploy the tactics that the four great families are capable of, I’m afraid our two families can forget about our future existence.”

As Wang Xingguo spoke, his whole demeanor became deflated.

He had clearly not anticipated this situation before his eyes.

He did not expect that the Ying family would have such a big appetite.

Under pressure from the massive power and influence of the Ying family, Wang Xingguo and Mu Yuncheng could only order their men to start taking stock of their own family’s assets.

And on Lu Yu’s side, he came to the large shopping mall once more. Following the instructions in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’, he once again purchased a batch of high-grade beast meat.

With the Gluttony Talent in his body, Lu Yu was prepared to make a breakthrough to the War General level as soon as possible.

Only when his cultivation had broken through to the War General level could Lu Yu enable his family and himself to live safely in this capital city that was filled with danger at every corner.

Soon, Lu Yu finished cooking all the purchased beast meat into the dishes recorded in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method.’

With the completion of the dishes, Lu Yu breathed in the mouth-watering aroma that spread throughout the whole place, and his stomach began growling and rumbling.

Under the instinctive impetus of his appetite, Lu Yu activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and wolfed down all the cooked dishes in big gulps.

As the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and Gluttony Talent went into operation, Lu Yu’s strength began to increase slowly..
