Chapter 136 Departure (Part 3)_3
```
"So that's how it is." The long-haired man suddenly understood.
"Alright." The armored brute clapped his hands, urging, "Time is of the essence. We depart and leave the territory in half an hour. Everyone, go to the side hall to find a private room and quickly consume all five soul beads."
"Yes!"
The Transcendents scattered in every direction.
Li Yao seemed to be fleeing for his life, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
But Chen Yu didn't leave. Instead, he grabbed his plump neighbor and the long-haired man, asking the armored brute, "Captain, what did you just say? Everyone gets five soul beads?"
"Yes." The armored brute frowned. "Didn't I give them to you?"
"Mine don't matter, it's my two friends I'm concerned about." Chen Yu complained, lifting both men's hands: "Why do they only have four?"
Plump Neighbor & Long-Haired Man: "!"
"Chen Yu!" The armored brute burst into rage: "Don't push it too far! I saw everything clearly on the surveillance! You were the one who took their soul beads!"
"That's none of my business." Chen Yu shrugged: "I only care if my friends have enough soul beads."
"Yu." The plump neighbor pursed his lips.
"Chen." The long-haired man was moved.
"Don't worry, I'll stand up for you." Chen Yu gave them a resolute look, then raised his voice: "Since ancient times, the issue hasn't been a lack of resources but their uneven distribution. It would be fine if we all had four beads each. But everyone else has five, and only my two brothers are one short. I, Chen Yu, won't stand for it!"
"How preposterous! You!"
"Enough." The alliance supervisor sighed wearily: "So you won't go if you don't get them, is that it?"
"Not at all." Chen Yu waved dismissively: "I'm not the kind to leverage my advantage mercilessly."
"Then let's call it even. After all, you already have seven soul..."
"Smash!"
Chen Yu stomped fiercely, shattering a piece of gilded decor, and turned to leave: "Screw this, I'm not going!"
"Chen Yu." The armored brute was at his limit: "Believe it or not, I'll tie you up and take you!"
Chen Yu: "Then I'll just bite my tongue and commit suicide, explode my special abilities. Or the moment you untie me there, I'll give that big enforcer a huge surprise."
"Fine, fine, fine." The alliance supervisor, tired of the back-and-forth with Chen Yu, took out two more soul beads, flicked them with his fingers, and they flew into the hands of the plump neighbor and long-haired man.
"Hehe!" Chen Yu immediately turned back, bowing gratefully: "Thank you, my lord."
Alliance Supervisor: "I don't want to see you again. Ever."
"Shoo!"
Chen Yu pulled the two along and scampered into the inner sanctuary.
"This guy is so annoying." The armored brute took a deep breath, trying to calm his rage.
The youth in the duckbill cap shivered: "My grand hall..."
Leading the plump neighbor and the long-haired man, they turned corners and slipped into an unoccupied empty room.
The long-haired man immediately bowed in gratitude: "Chen Yu, I will never forget the debt of the soul beads."
"Yu, I knew you wouldn't let me down." The plump neighbor was overwhelmed with emotion, lifting his sleeve to wipe away tears: "From now on, I'll never let you down."

"It's what I should do." Chen Yu smiled, unconcernedly waving his hand: "We're all brothers here, my own family. How could I let you suffer a loss?"
"Yeah, yeah!" The plump neighbor nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Yu."
"Then you can thank me with a soul bead." Chen Yu stretched out his hand.
The plump neighbor's movements stiffened.
The long-haired man's expression also changed.
"And you." Chen Yu extended his other hand towards the long-haired man: "If those soul beads were rightfully claimed by me from the supervisor, why did you snatch them away?"
