Chapter 493 Inheritance Contest
Chen Yu hurriedly went forward to stop everyone.
"Everyone, please calm down. Mr. Stoke was just being controlled. The priority is to find the spy hidden within the Milore Family."
Dolan was reasonably rational and immediately calmed down.
At this moment, Stoke had an innocent look with his pale face, standing there like a statue, seemingly unaware of what had just happened.
And he had been good friends with Marco for many years, how could he possibly do such a thing?
Dolan scolded the bodyguards that rushed up and then had two people with abilities help Stoke down.
"Mr. Chen, the Childe Family has gone too far, and my father has long considered leaving the Knights of the Round Table! Once he comes to his senses, I will persuade him to join the Xuanqing Sect."
Chen Yu saw black lines full of his head. If truth be told, the Xuanqing Sect was just a traditional Taoist sect and would never accept worldly powers.
"Let's talk about this later. Those medicinal ingredients that I wanted, are they all gathered?"
Dolan didn't dare to slack off and immediately signaled to his subordinates nearby.
Before long, six burly men hurriedly brought several large boxes into the house.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Dolan to be so generous, finding several times the amount of medicinal ingredients he had asked for all at once.
He walked over to the boxes and casually grabbed a handful of the wrapped medications.
"This is plenty! Besides, this place originally belongs to those native residents. Your Milore Family has taken over this area, so you should at least leave a place for them to live, right?"
Dolan was taken aback, "Native residents? There are native residents in this place?"
Chen Yu's face was full of confusion, "They live just to the east of here, not ten miles away. Don't you know?"
Dolan shook his head, "When we first arrived here, there indeed were some native residents, but later my cousin said that they had contracted a highly contagious plague and that they had all died, their bodies even disposed of!"
Chen Yu immediately understood that perhaps the grudge between the Milore Family and the native residents was intentionally fabricated by someone.
"Then could you do me a favor, Master Dolan, and prepare a separate courtyard here for me? I have a few hundred subordinates who will be coming with me."
Without a second thought, Dolan agreed.
Chen Yu didn't linger there any longer, and with the medicinal ingredients in hand, prepared to leave. But just as he was about to reach the exit, more than a dozen figures suddenly blocked his path.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you cured my father's illness. May I ask what method you used, and if you could take a look at me too?"
Chen Yu frowned and sized up the man who spoke, noticing a resemblance to Dolan. After scanning the man's brain information, he realized that this was Dolan's own younger brother, Demons!
"Your father had an extra worm in his brain. Don't tell me you've also got a worm crawling in there?"
Anger suddenly flashed in Demons's eyes as he stared intently at Chen Yu.
After who knows how long, the tension suddenly eased, and he burst into hearty laughter.
"Mr. Chen is really joking. How could there be worms in my head? I just wanted to witness Mr. Chen's medical skills."
He gestured to two of his subordinates, who came forward, intending to restrain Chen Yu.
Demons also took out a token from his person and handed it over in a polite manner.
"Mr. Chen, my castle is on the third level, east side. It only takes three minutes by elevator to get there. Would you do me the honor of visiting my place?"
All the thoughts in this guy's head were now fully reflected in Chen Yu's mind.
The Milore Family was also in utter chaos internally, ever since they had joined the Knights of the Round Table, all the heirs had set their sights on the title of knight.
According to Western culture and inheritance system, there could be as many as forty heirs within the Milore Family eligible for the knighthood.
Demons was one of them.
Moreover, he had a group of supporters within his family, who had colluded with the Childe Family in secret, planting bugs in Marco's head; though it wasn't he who did it, it was certainly related to him. Find exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Thank you, Lord Demons, for the honor, but I have some urgent matters and will not be able to visit," Chen Yu declined politely, then immediately emitted a blue and white light from his body, stunning the two burly men beside him to the ground. Before Demons could react, Chen Yu had already flickered out of the cave.
The speed of his departure caused everyone present to freeze for a moment, especially Demons, who wore an expression of disbelief.
"Truly worthy of being the new Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect. Inform our people right away to come to the third level for the meeting."
Once Chen Yu had left the underground palace and dashed straight for the cave, he found that the wild men had long since lost their patience.
They had been waiting for too long, and some of them were even aiming primitive weapons at Jin Lingsu beside the bed.
If it weren't for the fact that Jin Lingsu had been treated by their chief, they might have made a move long ago.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yu rebuked sternly, parting the crowd to approach the bedside.
The crowd settled down at that, though some still looked on with suspicion.
The people of their tribe had to pay a great price to get even the slightest amount of supplies from the Milore Family, so naturally, they were suspicious of Chen Yu who went into the underground palace empty-handed and returned with so many herbs. Anyone would suspect that he had colluded with the Milore Family.
"We must not let this man administer medicine to our chief, what he brought back is definitely poison."
"Are we really going to entrust our chief's life to a foreigner?"
"He brought back the medicine so quickly, it must have been prearranged with the Milore Family to harm us!"
...
The not-so-large cave suddenly became chaotic, everyone accusing Chen Yu, as if urging him to wipe them all out.
"All of you shut up!" Chen Yu shouted, the blue and white light flaring up and knocking a dozen nearby people away.
"Everyone wait outside, if in ten minutes your chief hasn't awakened, I'll let you deal with me however you see fit."
Such intimidating and enigmatic force frightened everyone, prompting them to exit the cave hastily, not daring to utter another word.
Chen Yu said no more, crushing the herbs into powder and mixing them with water for the young girl to drink.
It wasn't long before the girl struggled to open her eyes, but her body was too weak to move.
"Where am I?"
Though the girl's voice was feeble, it sent a wave of excitement through everyone in the cave.
