Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

163 Terrifying Woman!

The situation in Lunan City gradually stabilized with Lu Yu’s arrival. As the powerful families spent their days on tenterhooks, a piece of news arrived which made Wang Bo and others cheer up tremendously.

Inspectors from the capital would be coming to Lunan City in a few days!

“The inspectors are coming. They must be here to pursue accountability. No matter what Lu Yu’s identity is, killing a city lord appointed by the federal government is a crime that he can not absolve himself of.”

“Hahaha… I want to see how much longer this Lu Yu can remain arrogant. When the time comes, he is the one to cry!”

The patriarchs of the various powerful families led by Wang Bo were very excited. All day long, they waited for the arrival of the inspectors with bated breath.

When Lu Yu heard the news, his expression was as calm as a millpond. He sipped a mouthful of tea indifferently, “Looking at the time, they should be arriving about now.”

These few days, there were cultivators from the 4th Battalion heading into Lunan City continuously. At present, there were more than 300 military personnel stationed in Lunan City. It was a formidable battle force.

“Haha! Now this guy Lu Yu is afraid. He transferred so many cultivators from the military zone to Lunan City. Is he going to rebel against the inspectors?”

“Bet Lu Yu wouldn’t dare even if we lent him a hundred balls. This is the federal government’s law as represented by the inspectors!”

Wang Bo and others were feeling more and more gleeful. During this period, they were practically as proud as a peacock. All these did not escape Lu Yu’s eyes, but he took no action. He only looked upon them as trouble-stirring clowns who were simply a waste of his time.

During these few days, the people from the 4th Battalion wasted no time to cultivate. Song Yu broke through to Great Martial Master Grade 4 and successfully advanced to the Intermediate Great Martial Master stage. Qin Yong broke through to Great Martial Master Grade 1, while Li Tieniu broke through to Great Martial Master Grade 8.

Lu Yu was not stingy with the meat of the Fearsome Beast cooked with the Sky Valley Culinary Method. He distributed it to all the members of the 4th Battalion. Every day, there were four or five Fearsome Beasts whose meat were made into delicious dishes by Li Tieniu.

Rather than simply increasing his own strength, it was more beneficial to increase the whole battalion’s strength. In time to come, Lu Yu would not be held back by his own team.

The more than 300 members of the 4th Battalion had submitted to Lu Yu’s leadership cheerfully and wholeheartedly by now.

As time slipped away, the Inspectors finally arrived at Lunan City on the third day.

Hou Tianlai, Wang Bo and the others had already gone out to welcome them. Under the gaze of thousands, Ying Qufeng and Zhou Zhongzheng entered Lunan City.

Unlike the last trip to the Gamma Military Zone, a charming middle-aged woman dressed in a black lace robe tagged along with these two as they traveled together.

“Welcome to Lunan City for a routine inspection, Honorable Inspectors!” Seeing that people from his own faction had arrived, Hou Tianlai, who had been holding back for a long time, finally revealed a smile. If he had to keep enduring like this, he would suffer from depression eventually.

During this time, he had not heard from Liu Bo, so it was almost certain that Liu Bo was already dead. And most likely, he died at Lu Yu’s hands.

And Wang Bo and the others were even more ecstatic. They offered up all kinds of flattery and compliments along the way, falling all over themselves to ingratiate themselves with the visitors.

“How’s the situation?” Ying Qufeng asked in a low voice.

Hou Tianlai reported everything that happened over the past few days in detail, his eyes flashing with vicious ruthlessness.

“Don’t worry. This time Lu Yu can’t escape the ruling!” Ying Qufeng guffawed out loud, gloating gleefully. He was in really high spirits.

“Is that really true?” Joyful hope spread across Hou Tianlai’s face.

“Don’t worry. The federal government’s investigation order is already in our hands. This time, no matter how the Gamma Military Zone shields Lu Yu, he still can’t escape.” Zhou Zhongzheng said confidently.

Wang Bo’s face was already beaming as he said, “We feel much more at ease here now that we have heard what both of you said. To tell the truth, we have suffered a lot from Lu Yu’s oppression during this period. Even when we have our meals, we are constantly in fear.”

Ying Qufeng laughed out loud and said, “Hahaha… You guys don’t have to worry at all. With me around, everything will be fine.”

The whole group arrived at the City Lord’s Office. When they saw the cultivators from the Gamma Military Zone stationed at the City Lord’s Office, they gave a scornful laugh, and tried to barge in straightaway.

“Stop right there! This is an exceptional period. Our Gamma Military Zone has taken over control of Lunan City. No one is allowed to enter without the permission of Advisor Lu!” The veteran soldier stationed outside the gate of the City Lord’s Office said with a cold, stern expression.

“Outrageous! We are Inspectors! How dare you stop me? Are you tired of living?” Ying Qufeng yelled furiously.

The veteran soldier was unmoved and did not budge an inch. He stood outside the City Lord’s Office, guarding it steadfastly.

At this point, Song Yu came forward on Lu Yu’s behalf to ask the veteran soldier to let them in. Ying Qufeng and his posse then entered the City Lord’s Office.

As soon as he saw Lu Yu who was drinking tea leisurely, it was as if he saw his father’s murderer. Ying Qufeng’s eyes suddenly turned red and he said with a sinister smile, “Lu Yu, we meet again. You are even more capable than last time. You don’t even bother to receive us Inspectors.”

Lu Yu said indifferently, “Putting that aside for the moment, your position is bestowed upon you by the capital. Your official rank and mine are equal. There is no need for me to come out to receive you.”

“If you had insisted on barging into the City Lord’s Office by force just now, then you have to give me an explanation.”

Seeing that Lu Yu was still so unyielding, Ying Qufeng gave an eye signal and Zhou Zhongzheng, who was beside him, immediately took out the investigation order. “Lu Yu, we have the investigation order from the capital in our hands. The federal government has granted us special permission to come and investigate the matter of you killing Yan Hong and wreaking havoc in Lunan City, so please come back to the capital with us.”

“What a coincidence. I am also investigating the matter of me getting framed and slandered. Before I obtain conclusive evidence, I can’t go to the capital for the time being,” Lu Yu said in an icy tone.

If Lu Yu were to go with them, it was as good as entering the tiger’s den. There would be no return once he stepped in there. Right now, the entire City Lord’s Office was under the control of the 4th Battalion. He was not the least bit worried about this group of people turning violent.

“You thought I would be unprepared? I already knew you would come up with this trick.” Ying Qufeng looked as if he had expected this turn of events and looked at the black-clad woman beside him with a respectful expression, “Aunt, please take action.”

“Mr. Lu, please follow me to the capital.” The unusually low-profile black-clad woman who had yet to speak, suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Yu.

Those heart-stirring, soul-captivating eyes contained an extremely frightening aura. In an instant, everyone present felt a shudder in their souls, and all their bodies shook violently.

The air, the passing clouds… this very moment seemed to have stopped. The figure of the black-clad woman turned blurry in front of Lu Yu’s eyes even though she was clearly standing before him. It was as if she had never existed.

This woman was extremely terrifying!

Lu Yu’s heart shuddered and he observed this woman carefully. He sensed a wisp of oppressive power on this woman that he first felt when he faced Ying Qu. Could it be that she was another War General from the Ying family?

Soon, Lu Yu calmed down and he decided to go head-to-head with this black-clad woman. The moment his true energy circulated, a massively strong aura slowly spewed forth, gushing out in a headlong collision with the black-clad woman’s aura.
