Chapter 483: Chapter 483 - Never Give Up

Lu Yubei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he asked, “What does he want?!”

Fu Yu’an said, “He wants the Beast Tamer Alliance to cooperate with him and plant the Spirit Restraining Parasite on all children under the age of 13. He also wants all the Beast Tamers in the cultivation world to self-destruct their Beast Hearts and become ordinary people. He wants there to be no more Beast Tamers on the Holy Spirit Continent!”

“What?!” Lu Yubei’s eyes widened.

“Actually, it’s not only the Prosperous Capital that has a Death Curse case. Currently, there are Death Curse cases on all the continents. After Su Xuanye cultivated the fruit of the curse, civilians infected by the Death Curse were secretly sent to all the continents. Currently, there are Death Curse cases in the capital of the Light Sea, the Blazing Realm Continent’s Huo Yang City, the Ice Domain Continent’s Snowfall City, and the Beast Continent’s Lion King City. Currently, these cities have already taken measures to seal the city.”

And these cities had one thing in common, which was that they had a large population and were prosperous.

“Mr. Lu, this isn’t a disaster for the Prosperous Capital, but for the entire continent.”

After receiving Su Xuanye’s letter of challenge, the Beast Tamer Alliance held an emergency meeting. At this moment, both the beastmen and the elves had arrived in Jingdu and were discussing in the international conference room.

When Lu Yubei learned of this news, he was shocked and felt that it was ridiculous.

For a moment, he didn’t know if he should admire Su Xuanye’s ruthlessness or despise his heartlessness.

Should he sacrifice the lives of 40 million citizens to protect the Beast Tamer’s own interests? Or should he sacrifice all the Beast Tamers to save the lives of those 40 million citizens? Su Xuanye had already handed the decision to them.

It had to be said that this move was ruthless.

This was no longer a disaster for the Prosperous Capital, but for the entire continent.

Knowing that he wouldn’t get the answer he wanted from Fu Yu’an, Lu Yubei hung up.

......

Lu Yubei put down the phone, pulled up the suit jacket hanging on the floor rack, and put it on. He walked out of the majestic manor and onto the street.

The usually bustling streets had become chaotic.

On the street, there were people fighting, people robbing, people hugging their heads and crying, and there were also children hugging dolls and shouting for their mothers helplessly.

After Lu Yubei graduated from the Divine Realm Academy, he had been working in the Prosperous Capital’s Mayor Manor. It took him 30 years to climb from the bottom to the position of Mayor. For 30 years, he lived in the Prosperous Capital, and the Prosperous Capital had long become his home.

When Lu Yubei saw the destroyed boutiques and the chaotic streets, he suddenly squatted down on the spot and hugged his head while crying.

As the mayor, he felt guilty for failing to protect his citizens!

At this moment, the little girl holding the doll noticed Lu Yubei. She came to Lu Yubei timidly and looked at him silently.

Realizing that someone was standing in front of him, Lu Yubei slowly raised his head and saw a dirty doll.

“Sir, you can’t find your mother either?” The little girl stuffed the doll between Lu Yubei’s arms. She wiped her tears and pouted. “I can’t find them either, but I’m not crying.”

Lu Yubei clenched the doll tightly and stared at the black blood vessel on the little girl’s arm. He felt so uncomfortable that his heart ached. “Little girl, where are your parents?”

The little girl pouted in grievance and wanted to cry again.

She quickly wiped her tears and hiccuped before saying, “Mommy said that I was infected. She went with Daddy to buy medicine for me and asked me to wait for them at home. But it’s already dark, and they still didn’t come back.” The little girl asked Lu Yubei, “They won’t come back, right?”

Lu Yubei reached out and touched the little girl’s hair. He said, “This city has a plague, and you’re infected. Your parents must have gone to another city to live.”

The little girl thought about it seriously before asking, “Is the other city infected?”

Lu Yubei thought about it and said, “If you guys stay in the Prosperous Capital obediently, then the other cities won’t.”

The little girl looked at Lu Yubei with tears in her eyes. She said, “I hope that Daddy and Mommy are healthy. In that case, I’ll stay in the Prosperous Capital.” The little girl pointed at the city wall beside the Mayor Manor and cried, “I definitely won’t run out of the city gate. I’ll stay here obediently. When this city recovers, my Daddy and Mommy will come back to find me!”

“Alright, then follow me. I’ll wait for Daddy and Mommy with you.”

Lu Yubei brought the little girl back to the Mayor Manor. After settling her down, he went to the office and called his secretary and assistant to the office.

Seeing a dirty doll on Lu Yubei’s table, the secretary and assistant looked at each other and didn’t speak.

“I called you here to order you guys to do a few things.”

“Please instruct us.”

Lu Yubei said, “I went to the city just now and found many children and old people who were separated from their families. These people have been infected. I want you to gather the children abandoned by their parents and the old people who can’t move. In addition…”

After a pause, Lu Yubei continued, “The more chaotic the situation is, the less humane people become. From now on, the financial center building will be requisitioned as a temporary shelter for women. The Prosperous Capital’s trading building will also be requisitioned as a shelter for males. By grouping men and women separately, many chaotic situations can be avoided.”

“During this period, if there are any citizens who dare to challenge the law, they will be executed!”

The secretary and assistant knew very well what the chaotic scene Lu Yubei was talking about was. The more chaotic the situation was, the greater the manifestations of evilness. Currently, there were only scenes of looting and smashing in the city. Later, there might be situations where weak women were raped.

Grouping men and women separately in advance could prevent trouble.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Yubei stared at the dirty doll on the table and said, “Even if the entire world abandons us, we definitely can’t abandon our citizens!”

“Yes, mayor!”

At the Beast Tamer Alliance headquarters.

International Conference Room building.

Today, all the top experts of the Holy Spirit Continent were gathered here.

The interior of the conference building was fan-shaped. In front of the conference room, there was a huge screen. At this moment, the screen was broadcasting the scenes of the five infected cities. Sheng Lingfeng looked up at the heartbreaking scene in the live broadcast. He felt his heart ache and lowered his head in shame.

Just like him, the other Beast Tamers felt ashamed and helpless. They couldn’t bear to watch the live-stream.

Someone said, “Turn it off.”

Then, more and more people echoed.

Fu Yu’an picked up the remote control and turned off the live broadcast.

No longer seeing those heartbreaking scenes, the experts in the conference room immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

There was a black conference table under the big screen with six microphones on it. Sheng Lingfeng walked to the back of the conference table and stood there. He took out a piece of paper from his document bag and said, “Two hours ago, the Blood Peacock issued a challenge to the entire cultivation world!”

Sheng Lingfeng placed the letter of challenge on the table. He aimed a camera at the paper and projected the contents of the paper onto the big screen.

All the Beast Tamers saw the contents of the paper clearly—

[To all Beast Tamers:

I, Su Xuanye, have already sent five civilians who were cursed to the Prosperous Capital, Holy Mountain, Lion King City, Huo Yang City, and Snowfall City respectively yesterday afternoon. In less than three days, these five cities would definitely fall. In less than ten days, the Holy Spirit Continent would also be destroyed.

Then, Beast Tamers, I wonder if you are willing to save the entire Holy Spirit Continent?

If you are willing to self-destruct your Beast Heart and establish Spirit Restraining Sites all over the world, take the initiative to plant Spirit Restraining Parasites for every child, and swear that no new Beast Tamer will awaken on the Holy Spirit Continent, then I am willing to take the initiative to provide a way to resolve the Death Curse.

If you reject my suggestion, then I can only send the civilians of the Holy Spirit Continent to death!

Upon seeing every word on the paper, the experts were enraged.

“Su Xuanye is shameless!”

“Despicable! He actually mercilessly gambled with the lives of all the commoners in the world. He really deserves to die!”

The Grand State Master looked at the letter of challenge calmly and didn’t say a word.
