Lu Shu sat quietly in his room. Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao were still nowhere to be found. He did not know where they had gone in the middle of the night.
 

He took out the phone from the Heavenly Network and contacted Zhong Yutang. Zhong Yutang definitely knew that he had been surrounded at Kuromon Market. Thus, Lu Shu wanted to confirm how many slave owners had been eliminated.
 

Lu Shu felt that the number of slave owners who had appeared was too coincidental. The mastermind definitely knew how strong he was. If the enemy was truly targeting Lu Shu, there had not been enough slave owners to fight him. Or, it was highly likely that the slave owners had been sent to die.
 

Of course, Lu Shu could not be sure, as he felt that he had hidden himself quite well. Perhaps the slave owners had not discovered his presence. 13 Rank One slave owners and 24 Rank Two slave owners. This was enough to kill Sakurai Yaeko…
 

Lu Shu called Zhong Yutang.
From the clues that we have now, how many slave owners are there?



 

Zhong Yutang thought about it and said,
We only caught 31 slave owners back then. Thus, the slave owners in Kuromon Market must have been hiding in the Collection of Gods. We suspect that those are all the slave owners.

 

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
Don’t you think it’s strange? Are there only so few slave owners?

 


Is this considered few…
Zhong Yutang was helpless. He suddenly realized that his outlook on the world was different from that of Lu Shu. Recently, the Heavenly Network had started to use names such as Rank One to refer to the different classes. After all, it was easier for them compared to alphabets. The person who had suggested this change was Chen Baili, who could not understand English…
But there were only a few Rank Ones in the Heavenly Network. 13 Rank Ones had appeared, but Lu Shu felt that this was only a few people…
 

To Zhong Yutang, 13 Rank Ones was frightening enough…
 

Zhong Yutang thought about it and said,
From the clues we have, there are only so many people. Thus… if there is nothing else, Heavenly King Lu, you can come back.

 

Come back? Lu Shu subconsciously looked up. He could go back now?
 

Needless to say, this was rather sudden to Lu Shu. They were still in the middle of their trip. Now, he was allowed to go back to China.
 

That was right. To the Heavenly Network, they only had to resolve the threat of the slave owners. Even if they were not all eliminated, this mission was considered a resounding success.
 

Even if a few slave owners were hiding in the dark, the Heavenly Network only need to be more careful in the future. They would immediately come and kill them if they acted rashly.


 

It could be said that after the 30 or so slave owners died, the threat of the slave owners had been eliminated.
But Lu Shu suddenly felt that he could not leave. Would the trip that the young girl had been looking forward to end so abruptly? Lu Shu sighed. It would seem rather cruel.
Every word on Sakurai Yaeko’s plan was filled with her feelings. The colorful words were like her wishes.
 

Next, they would go to Hakodate, then Okinawa, then…
 

Suddenly, Lu Shu said to Zhong Yutang,
I don’t think it has been settled. Think about it. So many slave owners have come to execute their plan. Would their mastermind have also come to Earth to supervise the execution of the plan? But from the battles, none of the dead slave owners seem to be the mastermind.


So?
Zhong Yutang asked.
 


So, I can’t go back yet…
Lu Shu was afraid that his true intentions would be exposed.
Furthermore, two Lords of Heaven from the Luniverse, Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao, have come here. I don’t know what their objectives are. We cannot eliminate the possibility that they are the masterminds behind the slave owners. I have to determine their objectives clearly. But from my observations, Wen Zaifou does not seem very suspicious. Yu Fuyao’s actions do not seem suspicious either. For example, she was the one who had killed the slave owners. But we have to be absolutely sure, right?


Oh.
Zhong Yutang thought about it and said,
Heavenly King Nie said that you have your own freedom. We will not interfere. Thus, it is fine even if you return after your trip.

 


Wait. I am talking about the mastermind behind the slave owners.
Lu Shu was shocked.
Trip? What trip?

 


If you need financial support, we have allowance for overseas missions. We can give you your allowance in advance. After all, traveling is expensive.
Zhong Yutang was unmoved.


 


Hey, what are you talking about? I am not delaying my return because of a trip,
said Lu Shu. He was annoyed.
 


After all, you are the Ninth Heavenly King. You cannot always make people spend money.
Zhong Yutang said,
Someone will send you a bank card later. Take note.

 


Hey, Zhong Yutang, are you crazy?
Lu Shu’s expression turned dark.
Be serious with me!

 

Zhong Yutang said,
Enjoy your trip.

 

Lu Shu listened to the beeping tone.
What in the world…

 

He did not know how much money the Heavenly Network would give him either…
 

Less than five minutes later, a small drone flew in from the window. There was a small leather pouch attached to it.
 

Lu Shu took the bag. The Heavenly Network was truly efficient. The controller of the drone had probably been waiting nearby all this time.
 

He opened the pouch and took a look. There was a bank card and a note.
Happy traveling.

 

Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He was seriously doing his job!


 

At this moment, Sakurai Yaeko knocked on his door.
Lu Shu-kun, Wen Zaifou and Sister Yu Fuyao are in my room. We are going to discuss our travel plans. Are you coming? They are also planning to play card games.

 



Coming, coming.
Lu Shu agreed. So Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao were in Sakurai Yaeko’s room.
 

Ever since he had taught Yu Fuyao and Wen Zaifou how to play cards, they seemed to be on the verge of addiction. But Lu Shu was slightly curious. Were Lords of Heaven so free? Did they not care about their territory in the Luniverse?
 

Lu Shu secretly went out to find an ATM. He checked the balance in the bank card. There was five million yen in the card.
 

Although things here were expensive, five million yen for a trip was very extravagant. Typical Chinese tourists only brought one to three hundred thousand yen here.
But Lu Shu suddenly thought of a problem. Zhong Yutang had given him money in advance based on his allowance. Then… what about his money when he was in Africa and Europe? Why did he not receive any allowance then?!
