Chapter 495: Preemptive Recuperation
"Master Demons, I advise you to speak courteously, otherwise you won't even know how you died,"
the slightly murderous and overbearing voice made Demons shudder involuntarily.
He drew a knife from his body and raised it high.
But just as his hand was about to come down, he encountered a sudden flickering of blue and white light, which directly stunned him to the ground.
The pharmacy owner was scared to death and hurriedly went forward to shake Demons' body.
Chen Yu did not care about that. After getting the medicine, he left on his own accord.
Just as he reached the door, the pharmacy owner caught up to him.
"Sir, you can't leave. If Master Demons is dead or alive, I can't take that responsibility if you just walk away like this,"
Chen Yu didn't care about that either, and simply pushed the pharmacy owner aside and walked out the door.
"Disaster! Murder! Someone dared to harm a core member of the Milore Family."
At once, the entire street burst into chaos.
Passersby, vendors, and the patrolling guards all ran over and quickly surrounded Chen Yu in the middle.
"Who are you? How dare you strike Master Demons, it seems you're tired of living,"
"Never mind who he is, just tie him up and take him to the first layer to be dealt with by the head of the family."
"If you ask me, just kill him and be done with it, why create such a fuss?"
...
Chen Yu immediately frowned; it seemed to these people he was just a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Just as the crowd was about to make their move, Chen Yu's body suddenly turned into a blue and white light and darted through the crowd.
By the time they reacted, Chen Yu had already disappeared without a trace.
At the elevator entrance on the third floor, Chen Yu leaned against the wall and swiped it with a token he had acquired.
Just as he was waiting for the elevator, a shadow suddenly appeared nearby.
"Mr. Chen, what a skillful display!"
The lingering voice, as if coming from hell, made Chen Yu become alert. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
A burly man with a full beard stood beside him, his body rippling with muscles, and even the flesh on his face wouldn't stop quivering.
Chen Yu instinctively covered himself with the system, but surprisingly, the man was carrying a special jammer that prevented scanning his brain information.
"Who are you?" Chen Yu clenched his fists, ready to take action if this fellow dared to make a wrong move.
"I've long heard that Mr. Chen has developed an extraordinary martial art that allows him to move ten times faster than an ordinary person. Seeing it today proves the rumors were true."
Chen Yu was stunned, he hadn't expected a legend about him to spread so quickly.
While he was still in shock, the man swung his massive fists, like sandbags, down at him. The power released by this punch was incredibly terrifying; if it were an ordinary person, their head would probably be smashed to pieces.
Chen Yu felt not a trace of fear, raised his palm, and effortlessly caught the man's fist.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Childe Family! I'm surprised you dare to make a move here. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Milore Family?"
The man clenched his teeth, his face filled with excitement.
"To have a fight with the newly appointed Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, even if they found out, what about it?"
Chen Yu had nothing but question marks over his head, this fellow was simply a madman.
He had no intention of getting entangled with the other party here.
He used all his strength to strike fiercely at the chest of the guy, sending him flying before quickly diving into the elevator.
The entire underground palace's alarm blared loudly as the news of Demons's own attack spread rapidly, and the security personnel became instantly tense.
Chen Yu easily returned to the first level and handed a packet of medicine to Dolan.
A flash of doubt crossed Dolan's face as he took the medicine.
He had seen all these medicines before; they were all tonics.
"Mr. Chen, I have given these tonics to my father before, and they didn't seem to benefit his illness," he said.
Chen Yu naturally knew what Dolan was thinking and managed to force a smile, patting him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Mark's condition is indeed too frail. To cure him, he needs a powerful medicine, but before that, we must first nourish his body, or else he won't be able to sustain the treatment later on," he said.
Dolan nodded with mixed feelings of doubt and belief, then ordered someone to go prepare the medicine.
Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing before walking into a relatively secluded room.
Jin Lingsu was sitting at the bedside, holding a bowl of porridge, feeding the leader of the natives.
Chen Yu went up and directly mixed the medicine into powder and put it into the porridge.
"You're called Polaris, right?" he asked.
The young girl on the bed instantly widened her eyes.
"You know my name!" she exclaimed.
Chen Yu laughed and sat down by the bed, taking Polaris's pulse.
In fact, upon entering the underground palace, Chen Yu had scanned the brain information of all the natives with his system.
He could now easily call out all their names.
"Your body is still very weak and needs to recover. You should just lie here obediently for a while, and this sister here will take care of you," he explained.
Jin Lingsu was somewhat unhappy; having finally made it into the Milore Family's interior, according to her temperament, she should be out shopping for treasures to take with her.
Staying here obediently to act as a nanny was a first for her.
Just then, two Milore Family patrollers suddenly walked in.
"Mr. Chen, we've heard that you injured someone on the third level. We must take you to understand the details of the situation," they said.
Chen Yu looked coldly at the two.
"I am the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect. Here, I should be treated as an honored guest. Demons was disrespectful to me, and I merely knocked him out. To treat me this way, do you want to make an enemy out of Xuanqing Sect?" he asked.
The two men were immediately frightened; they were only ordinary patrollers and dared not take on such a responsibility.
"But, Mr. Chen, some things still need to be accounted for. After all, Demons is a core member of the Milore Family," one protested.
"What does that have to do with us!" Jin Lingsu suddenly burst out. "What is the Milore Family worth? It's not just about injuring a core member—so what if one is killed?"
The two were too scared to utter another word, standing there trembling.
"What are you two doing here? Get out at once!" she commanded.
Dolan entered the room with some pastries.
Seeing Dolan, the men's faces showed an added difficulty.
"Young Master Dolan, young master Demons is still in a coma. If we don't take Mr. Chen back with us, we can't settle this matter," they explained.
Dolan snorted coldly and suddenly stepped forward, slapping both men across the face.
"Don't forget, I am the first in line to inherit the Milore Family. With father sick and Zhang Gang out of power, the power of the Milore Family is in my hands! Demons is nothing," he declared.
