Chapter 147: Help You Take Revenge
After they ordered, the waiter left.
Chu Luo was still worried and walked to the place where the incense was placed.
She was about to take out the incense burner when Li Yan grabbed her hand.
“Don’t touch it.”
“Mm?” Chu Luo turned to look at him.
Li Yan said seriously, “Don’t touch anything placed in the restaurant.”
“Why?”
“It’s the rules of this restaurant.”
Li Yan didn’t let go of her hand and pulled her to the dining table. As they walked, he said, “Aren’t you very good at these things? Are you worried that this fragrance will affect you?”
“No worries.” Chu Luo felt that what he said made sense. “I’m just worried that you will be affected by this fragrance.”
Li Yan let go of her hand and sat down.
After Chu Luo sat down opposite him, he said, “I’m not interested in women.”
“Really?” Chu Luo recalled what had happened that morning and didn’t believe it. “That day, you clearly…”
“Mm… clearly what?”
Li Yan’s hum was slightly nasal and sounded bewitching.
Chu Luo’s heart trembled, and her face suddenly turned red in embarrassment.
She stopped talking.
Li Yan looked at her and moved his fingers, restraining himself from doing anything.
At this moment, the waiter came in to serve the dishes.
The dishes were especially exquisite, and Chu Luo liked them all.
Not long after the two of them had eaten, a displeased and mocking voice suddenly came from the living room. “You invited me today. Can’t I even make you play a tune on the piano for me? In that case, we don’t have to eat today’s meal.”
Chu Luo subconsciously looked out and saw a man and a woman standing by the piano with their backs facing them.
The man had broad shoulders and a round waist. He was a portly middle-aged man. The woman was wearing a tight dress. Her figure was very attractive.
“Is that Adeline?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo looked at the portly man who was taking advantage of Adeline in public. Adeline only restrained her anger and didn’t push him away.
“What is Adeline trying to do?”
Since she didn’t like that man, why did she have to tolerate it?
Li Yan looked at the little thing who was especially innocent in this area and said, “That person wants that man to help her family.”
“Isn’t Adeline Prince Arlan’s cousin? Why didn’t she go to Arlan?”
Li Yan’s lips curled up coldly. “Arlan can barely save himself right now.”
Chu Luo knew that this was all Li Yan’s doing, so she didn’t ask further and continued to look at the two people standing by the piano.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had already called the person playing the piano up and said to Adeline rudely, “Adeline, go up and play a song for me. If I’m satisfied, we can discuss our cooperation with your family.”
“Really?” Adeline heaved a sigh of relief and walked over.
Adeline played the piano well, but it was obvious that the middle-aged man wasn’t doing this to hear her play the piano.
She had played only two parts when the middle-aged man became anxious. “Alright, alright, you can stop.”
With that, he walked over and grabbed her hand. As Adeline struggled, he revealed his big yellow teeth and said, “I’ve reserved a private room here. Let’s talk in the private room.”
Adeline stopped struggling and followed him to the private room.
Only then did Chu Luo retract her gaze and continue eating.
When she was about to finish eating, Chu Luo looked up and saw a familiar man walking out of a booth.
“Li Yan, look at that person.” Chu Luo quickly turned around and said to Li Yan, “I keep feeling like he’s the one who was controlling the robot.”
Li Yan tilted his head to look. He was very unhappy with the person who’d disturbed them, but he still responded with an “Mm.”
Chu Luo stood up from her seat. “Let’s go take a look.”
Li Yan looked at her deeply for a few seconds before standing up.
The two of them walked out of the private room.
It was already dark outside and the neon lights were flashing.
The two of them walked out of the restaurant and saw the young man turn into an alley with a few people.
Chu Luo wanted to follow him, but Li Yan stopped her. “Wait.”
“What?”
“That person has an instrument that can detect if anyone is following him. We can’t follow him directly.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes flickered and she curled her lips. “That’s easy.”
…
Abroad, after nightfall, it wasn’t as safe as it was in the empire. By eight o’clock, there weren’t many pedestrians on the streets.
Especially in those dark alleys.
The young man strode through the dark alley with a calm expression, as if he wasn’t worried about meeting someone.
After he’d walked through several dark alleys, a few people suddenly appeared in front of him.
These people all emitted powerful killing intent. One could tell at a glance that they weren’t good people.
The young man stopped.
Someone said, “Mr. Neeson, please come with us.”
Although this person said “please,” there was no room for discussion in his tone.
Neeson looked at them and snorted. “What if I refuse?”
“Then don’t blame us for being disrespectful to you.”
As soon as that person finished speaking, all of them walked towards him at the same time.
Neeson stood there without moving. He put two fingers to his mouth and whistled. Two robots jumped out from the side.
The others stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. At the same time, they each took out a special weapon and pointed it at the two robots.
“Young Master Neeson, do you think we will be stopped by your robots after the same thing has happened a few times?”
After that person finished speaking, they all fired ferociously at the two robots.
The robots dodged left and right. One of the robots’ right arm still got hit and it immediately corroded.
When Neeson saw this situation, he instantly frowned. “You actually used super corrosive agents on my robot!”
“We came up with this plan because Mr. Neeson refused to cooperate with us.”
The men continued to shoot at the two robots.
The two robots were quickly corroded into a puddle of bronze-colored water by the super corrosive agent.
These people then put away their weapons and pointed a weapon that resembled a crossbow at Neeson.
Neeson subconsciously took a few steps back, turned around, and ran.
Those people didn’t chase after him at all. They pulled the crossbow, and a rope with darts was seen flying towards Neeson.
Neeson rolled to the side, dodged the few ropes that were shooting at him, and turned into another alley.
Those people chased after him.
After these people had left, Chu Luo and Li Yan appeared using Invisibility Talismans.
Chu Luo wanted to follow them, but Li Yan said, “There’s no hurry. There’s a lake at the end of that alley. Let that person suffer a loss first.”
Chu Luo looked at him with bright eyes and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Help you take revenge.”
Chu Luo stared at him.
Li Yan turned to look at her. “What?”
“I only had a small cut.”
Li Yan tyrannically interjected, “Not even a small cut.”
After saying that, he held her hand and walked into the alley.
Chu Luo looked at his big hand that was holding her petite one. Her face turned red from his words just now, but she was a little conflicted about whether to pull her hand out or not.
She felt conflicted all the way as they went to the vicinity of the group of fighting people.
At this moment, Neeson had been forced to the lake and was obviously injured.
Chu Luo looked over and asked Li Yan, “Who are those people?”
“They’re from ‘Slay.’ It is a world-class assassin organization.”
“Isn’t Neeson one of them?”
“No, he’s from ‘Ink Feather.’ Everyone in Ink Feather has special abilities, but they’re not as good as Slay in combat.”
“Those people obviously want to capture Neeson. What do they want?”
“Neeson is especially talented in machinery, especially in making robots.”
“Could it be that they want to capture Neeson to help them create robots?”
“Mm.”
As the two of them spoke, Neeson was forced to fall into the lake.
Then, two more figures jumped into the water to catch Neeson.
Watching Neeson resist in the lake, Chu Luo rubbed her chin and said, “The robots this person made are indeed powerful, but the materials used aren’t good enough. Instead of letting the men from Slay bring him back, why don’t we capture him back?”
Li Yan frowned. “Ink Feather’s people would rather die than serve outsiders. Once they’re caught, regardless of what method is used, they’ll die silently.”
“Why does this sound like sorcery?”
Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, the two men pulled Neeson up from the lake.
At this moment, Neeson was drenched, and the hair on his forehead was stuck to his face. Even in such a sorry state, he still had a trace of arrogance.
Panting, he sneered and said, “Do you think you can take me away just by capturing me?”
After saying that, he laughed out loud.
Just as Neeson was preparing himself to die, there was a swoosh in the air. A stone hit Neeson’s forehead and he fainted.
The sudden turn of events made those people look over quickly.
“Who are you? I advise you not to be nosy.”
Chu Luo said, “What if we insist?”
Li Yan: “He stays. All of you… die.”
Without giving them a chance to react, Li Yan took out his gun and pulled the trigger.
Li Yan walked over as he fired. His expression was cold as if the people standing opposite him were just a few lifeless targets.
Half of those six people had died in an instant. When the other three saw this situation, the person holding on to Neeson threw him aside, causing Neeson to fall backward into the lake. They didn’t care anymore and quickly dodged.
But they still weren’t faster than the bullets.
The men were quickly killed.
Chu Luo walked towards the lake.
However, when she reached the lake, she quickly said to Li Yan, “I think something took Neeson away.”
