Chapter 470: What Inheritance?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu was enlightened. So it turned out to be an internal conflict in the Collection of Gods between the Conservatives and the Jingoists. Now, however, the former could only gather strength in the name of their leaders’ son. Lu Shu soon realized the gist of the issue. “Where is that student now?”

“Suicided three days ago. Wrist split. The maid, which is ours, found his body and applied for a sick leave from the school. The incident has been concealed and the body disposed of. But we don’t want to miss this opportunity,” replied You Mingyu.

A valuable case which would be pitiful to let go indeed...

Unwilling to give up, Zhong Yutang’s team was interested in causing more trouble inside the Collection of Gods. Thus, he and Nie Ting had entrusted the great responsibility to Lu Shu...

No wonder Zhong Yutang came in a hurry. Their time was running out and the school would notice something suspicious about the sick leave soon.

Lu Shu asked, “Then how do I get there? And any other preparation do I need?”

“Other preparation? No need, of course.” You Mingyu paused before he continued, “Heavenly King Nie said that you are fully prepared. You have a mask for disguise and you are good at swimming...”

Huh?! Swimming?!

Lu Shu was stunned at once. Were they expecting him to swim to Japan with his water-type abilities?!

Coupled with Li Yixiao’s report on the relic, Lu Shu indeed seemed to be very competent for the job now.

“But I don’t know how to speak Japanese,” Lu Shu said. Probably the Heavenly Network was still unaware of his proficiency in Japanese, which in fact was already better than his English.

Lu Shu was fully confident of completing the task well.

You Mingyu nodded. “Right, that’s the difficult part. But this student is an introvert and rarely talks in school. Thus, it’ll be just fine to act shy at the start. Then, the maid will teach you Japanese step by step. After all, that student had few friends and no one knows him well.”

How could the son of the Conservative leaders be an introvert? Should he not be an arrogant individual full of a sense of superiority?

You Mingyu read his mind. “Sometimes, those born in an influential family can be rather cowardly. It’s pretty normal. This kid is indeed a weakling. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to end his life in the face of his parents’ death and the Conservative superiors’ schemes. It’s said that his father had been training him in cultivation but no one has seen him using his powers, even when he was bullied. Therefore, he became a laughing stock among the Conservative and turned himself the most suitable puppet at hand since he would certainly follow whatever he’s told.”

“Even so, I don’t think he is an important piece of the puzzle.” Lu Shu still found it hard to understand.

“Although his powers remain a secret, the Conservatives trust that he is strong. More crucially, he inherited his father’s family’s skills.”

That made sense now. At the end of the day, they were just interested in the boy’s, aka Kirihara Yousuke’s, inherited trade.

“When am I leaving?” Lu Shu asked.

“As soon as possible.”

“When can I get the inheritance?” Lu Shu demanded.

“The maid will pass it to you when you reach Japan.”

Lu Shu was impressed. This maid must be really competent to obtain her boss’s bank card and password.

“Aren’t you going to train me in specialized knowledge like spy skills or anything?” Lu Shu was in disbelief. Were they going to send him, a newbie, over just like this?

“Heavenly King Nie said you can do it with your versatility. He doesn’t think you need any training.” After that, You Mingyu immediately called the earth-type Metahuman to fetch him.

It seemed that Nie Ting had really high expectations of himself, Lu Shu thought. Wait a minute, they hadn’t told him what the aim of the mission was! Was he going to do it freely too?

Then Lu Shu suddenly saw the light. In fact, there was no aim at all, as Nie Ting simply expected him to wreak havoc in the Collection of Gods... Li Yixiao might have been sent for the task if not for his unsuitable profile.

Is the foreign policy of the Heavenly Network so free and easy now?!

...

In the end, instead of swimming across the sea, a brand new passport and all relevant identity documents were delivered to Lu Shu, together with a night flight ticket to Nishinokyo.

The person on the identification documents was a stranger, who served solely as an identity for Lu Shu to pass the customs. Lu Shu changed his appearance effortlessly. After he reached Japan later that day, he could start his mission once he turned into Kirihara Yousuke unnoticed.

There was no time to say goodbye to Lu Xiaoyu due to the tight schedule. Thus, he sent her a message. “As what we’ve discussed, we need to do others a favor in exchange for their help. I’m going to make some quick money in Nishinokyo. Brb. Be a good student and don’t paste missing person posters of me around!”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!”

The mission was not that difficult for Lu Shu. Since there was no target specified, he would take it as a holiday and cause trouble when possible. If things went out of control, he could change identity and escape immediately.

In short, he was going to be a troublemaker aiming for the inheritance.

Standing in front of the airport window, Lu Shu gazed out at the planes taking off and touching down. He did not expect himself to be going abroad so soon, and, alone.

It was said that Japanese girls wore short skirts to school and were bare-legged even in winter. Lu Shu wondered if that was true...

...

Liuhai Lane.

In the courtyard, Shi Xuejin dipped a stick of Chinese onion in sauce and rolled it in a Shanzhou stir-fried pancake. He took a bite and asked, “You certainly trust him a lot, don’t you? Sending him there without even a concrete mission target? Say, to incite a battle between the Jingoists and the Conservatives or to instigate a rebellion against the remaining forces of the Conservatives?”

Shi Xuejin had always believed that an aim was indispensable in the execution of a mission as Lu Shu could not be going around aimlessly.

Nie Ting frowned. “Is that thing really so nice?”

Shi Xuejin looked at the pancake and gazed up at Nie Ting again. Then, he took another bite. His chewing sound was clearly audible.

“Even if there’s no need for an aim, what if he hates you for being tricked?” Shi Xuejin asked.

“I’m afraid he won’t go if not for the trick. What if he hates me? There are so many people who hate me and he won’t be a significant addition to the list.”

Meanwhile, Lu Shu had come to the doorstep of a dojo named Beika with the materials provided. It was a compact and elegantly-decorated courtyard. Inside, the wooden architecture exuded hues of Japanese cultures, simple yet delicate. A middle-aged woman, dressed in casual clothings, smiled at Lu Shu. “You are finally here.”

Lu Shu asked, “Where’s the inheritance?”

Confusion crossed over the woman’s face. “What inheritance?”

Lu Shu gazed up at the sky. “No wonder I felt that there’s something bloody off. Nie Ting, I’m not done with you on this matter...”
