Chapter 1416: 1315, send the horses over

After a short while, Journeyman * Gried took the lead and spoke up: “Your Excellency Reitdoz, is it really as you said?”

Everyone turned their gaze towards Lu Man.

Faced with everyone’s eyes, Lu Man continued, “I’ve had quite a few dealings with Su Yu. From what I know of him, he doesn’t seem to have a special fondness for the Defense Force.”

If it were indeed a special fondness, Su Yu would not have made that 100 billion transaction.

But upon hearing this, Reitdoz was startled.

Isn’t Su Yu the alias of a Legion Commander? Was Lu Man speaking ill of the Legion Commander’s alias?

Or was it that Lu Man had not guessed that Su Yu was the Legion Commander’s alias?

While the Stone People were contemplating, Lu Man had already dialed Su Yu’s number: “I happen to have a way to contact Su Yu, let’s ask him in person and see what he has to say.”

“That’s fine.” Legion Commander Dalanduo agreed. It was better to ask than for them all to be guessing blindly here.

Soon, Su Yu’s side answered the call.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Man asked, “I have a question that I really want to ask–why would you choose to sell the Dragon Race corpse through an auction? Aren’t other ways of selling safer?”

“…” After giving it a brief thought, Su Yu replied readily, “It’s to liquidate quickly and obtain money fast; other methods are too slow.”

“Aren’t you afraid of the danger?…” Journeyman * Gried roughly outlined the situation about “some of the First Order Planet Level individuals not being clean, and the presence of Interstellar Pirates outside the Hub.”

Having said all this, Journeyman * Gried expected Su Yu to show fear, regret, or a surprised expression.

However, Su Yu simply smiled calmly, “No problem, I don’t care about these. If someone really wants to rob it, let them come!”

Su Yu’s words had a tremendous impact.

For a moment, the already very quiet virtual conference room became even more silent, without a hint of noise.

Everyone was stunned by Su Yu’s words.

Was this something an Eighth Rank Cultivator could say? Isn’t that boasting too much?

Even Legion Commander Dalanduo was taken aback.

With such confidence and fearlessness in his speech, where did Su Yu get his confidence from?

Oh right, he once said he was at the Planet Level, and his strength had temporarily dropped to Eighth Rank.

But even if he was at the Planet Level, he still shouldn’t ignore the dangers mentioned, right? Especially since you haven’t recovered yet.

…

After Lu Man chatted for a few more sentences and ended the call with Su Yu, someone in the conference room couldn’t help but ask, “Your Excellency Lu Man, does Su Yu have any kind of background?”

“Why is he able to speak like that?”

“Judging by his tone… it doesn’t seem like something that an Eighth Rank Cultivator could say. Even the strongest few at the eighth-order peak wouldn’t say such things.”

“Your Excellency Lu Man, what exactly is his situation?”

…

Faced with his colleagues’ questions, Lu Man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

His thoughts were similar to the Legion Commander’s, thinking that Su Yu might truly be able to restore his Planet Level strength, which is why he was so fearless.

But that was indeed a bit too presumptuous!

Even if Su Yu recovers, he would only be at the First Order Planet Level.

If targeted by a slightly more powerful group of Interstellar Pirates or the Rebel organization, it would be very dangerous. After all, the entire mother planet of Su Yu had been sacrificed, lacking any significant power to bring to bear.

Lu Man could only explain to his colleagues “I also don’t know,” and then awkwardly changed the subject: “Your Excellency Legion Commander, how shall we deal with this matter now?”
