Chapter 642

As of now, a total of seven organizations had arrived . Lu Shu’s stinky tofu attack was targeted at all six of them . The unpleasant smell rendered them unable to focus on the task at hand .

All six organizations suspected that it was a planned attempt to provoke conflicts among them!

However, they were wrong . Lu Shu had not done it to earn an advantage in the negotiations, the trade deal, or the mineral reserves . It was only for the distress points .

But to him, distress points translated to power . While others would recognize the importance of the negotiations, trade deals and product exchange, Lu Shu believed power spoke in all situations .

Besides, the very fact that the Heavenly Network had received the invitation was not because they had rich resources or affluence, but because they were one of the strongest organizations in the world .

With two Class A’s and a few Class B’s, their overall strength could be ranked as the world’s top organization with no disputes . But they had too many enemies .

If they were weaker, no one would fancy negotiating with them . They could simply rob them of all their resources . Easy .

That was why it was crucial that Lu Shu officially ascend to Class B . Very crucial .

Meanwhile, the members of the various organizations were slowly approaching the stinky tofu . Only one organization had figured out that it was not some biochemical weapon, but merely a Chinese dish . However, they could not understand why a Caucasian would be running around with so much stinky tofu, and why its smell was so awful…

“It’s for sure that there are no Caucasians in the Heavenly Network’s team, and no one entered or exited from their villa,” someone explained his analysis, “He used a typically Chinese object to piss us off probably because he didn’t know we saw that he’s a white man . Hence, he wanted us to think that it’s the Heavenly Network . ”

“I get the logic . But are you sure this stuff is edible?!” another person exclaimed .

It was a smelly black cube! Was it really food? How shocking…

“Someone go and check whether anything happened at the Heavenly Network’s villa,” one of them said .

Meanwhile, Lu Shu had already returned to his room through the window . After conducting a ground check, people from other organizations reported back and formed the same conclusion . “Nothing happened to the Heavenly Network!”

“As expected, the man wants us to blame it on the Heavenly Network!” Howard said with a nod, “Of course, it’s also possible that the Heavenly Network is behind it . But I’m more inclined towards the first possibility . They have just arrived and there’s no time to plan all this . ”

“I have a question,” someone said, “the Heavenly Network members we have encountered, except those in the remains, are all the cream of the elites . But this time their team seems rather mixed and messy . I suspect that they don’t hold the trade deal in high regard, or maybe they have even found similar mineral reserves in their own country . ”

Undeniably, it was a logical deduction . Xia Rensheng’s team consisted mainly of secret practitioners because their original mission was nothing righteous, and Lu Shu’s joining was only due to the urgency of sending him overseas…

Yet, as the team was formed in a hurry, the Heavenly Network decided to send another more professional group to replace them three days later . As a matter of fact, Nie Ting was uninterested in whether they could get the reserves in the beginning . He only wanted Lu Shu to piss off the other organizations…

That created the illusion that the Heavenly Network was prepared to lose the deal…

In fact, Lu Shu himself had almost forgotten about one of his top talents, that things would always steer towards an advantageous direction for him if he did not intentionally put in much effort . At the moment, he was ready to sing his Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and cast the rest to the back of his mind…

It was only ten thousand points to go till Class B!

Four more organizations arrived on the next day, all under EO’s invitation . Hence, there were as many as 11 organizations here for the trade negotiations!

The circulation of intelligence had already started before any visible movement of the teams . It was the norm among big organizations, though . Thus, the four organizations who had arrived later were well informed of the stinky tofu incident too .

Sitting on the rooftop of the villa, Lu Shu gazed at the entire residence area . Suddenly he saw a group of practitioners slowly enter the region, each clad in a white cloak .

Lu Shu studied them closely . They had their hoods on despite the sweltering weather, the pure white color looked cold and lifeless on them .

The Department of Faith Theory . It was Lu Shu’s first time seeing them in real life . He could tell their ranks from their clothes, and the leader of the group was the Cardinal, who was only second to the alpha of the Department .

At this moment, the Phoenix Society happened to meet them head-on . The leader of the Department of Faith Theory suddenly stopped, smiling at Howard . “It’s said that you mistook food as biochemical weapon last night . Interesting . ”

Howard’s eyes narrowed in hostility . “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that the Bishop of your Department shut himself up when the Puppet Master headed to Europe . ”

The Cardinal laughed . “Ha, the Puppet Master, not a big deal . He’s not worthy of our attention . Nevertheless, we do anticipate the appearance of the man behind the Puppet Masters . That’s more entertaining . ”

“Don’t use euphemisms to justify your own cowardice,” Howard said with a sneer, “I’m afraid you may piss your pants in fear when that man truly makes his appearance . ”

Currently, the battle between the leader of the Phoenix Society, the Saint, and the Puppet Master in the South American remains was well-known across the world . Although no one emerged as the final winner, the Saint’s terrific power was now widely recognized . That had gained the Phoenix Society much influence on the international arena .

The Cardinal shook his head with a faint smile . “One day, you will understand our standing . Honestly, though, what a disgrace, that the famous Phoenix Society would be scared by a Chinese dish . ”

After he finished his sentence, the team of the Department of Faith Theory moved forward, ignoring the Phoenix Society completely . The Cardinal suddenly looked up at Lu Shu, grinning widely, showing his teeth . “The Heavenly Network is getting worse too . ”

Then, he led his team towards the villa allocated by EO . Once the door was open, a strange smell blew straight into their face . One of them roared at once, “Enemy attack!”

Lu Shu’s expression changed…
