Chen Yu is a ghost slave!

"Nonsense! You're the Ghost Slaves! Your whole family are Ghost Slavess!"

Li Mengyao was the first to stand up and retort!

Shen Qingci and Lin Yue also wanted to prove their innocence!

But they found... on the side of the long table, everyone kept their mouths shut tight, their eyes flickering away!

No one spoke up to question it; no one stood up for justice!

"Heh."

Minister Li Hairong licked his lips: "Little beauty, don't be so angry. Seeing as you have such a nice figure, if you don't want to change rooms, that's fine. Just stay in your room and wait for us to head over..."

"You're shameless!"

Li Mengyao was fuming. She missed Wang Mengmeng immensely; if she were here, she would have definitely been able to fire back at such low-life, filthy language!

Shen Qingci grabbed Li Mengyao's arm and pulled her slightly behind her, whispering, "Mengyao, don't be impulsive. Let's hear what Chen Yu has to say..."

She was also an S-Rank Talent holder. If it were one-on-one, she wouldn't fear that Minister Li Hairong.

But right now in the dining hall, the other side had a massive numerical advantage.

Facing this pack of hyenas, she didn't have much confidence either.

Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Yu. He slowly stood up: "After all that fuss, isn't it just about wanting to swap rooms? All of you acting so sanctimonious..."

"Kid, say that one more fucking time?!"

Behind Minister Li Hairong, a man in sunglasses slammed the table: "Do you really think we Scavengers are negotiating with you?"

Several burly men from the Scavengers also closed in, looking unfriendly!

The people from the Lighthouse Society also looked on with beaming smiles!

"Is really no one going to speak up for me? Everyone?"

Chen Yu spread his hands and looked at the spectators around him; one by one, they all shook their heads!

"Speak up? Speak up for what? You offended Minister Li and President Sun yourself, don't you know what's going on?"

"Wouldn't it be over if you just obediently gave up the room?"

"Young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. At a time like this, whoever helps you is asking for trouble."

"If you ask me, just swap quickly. Don't drag everyone else into waiting here..."

Indifference and selfishness became the most common choices.

Some were even happy to see the nail that sticks out get hammered down, as it made them feel smarter.

Chen Yu listened quietly, showing no surprise on his face: "Hmm... it seems there's no one."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Dr. Qiao Xi stood up: "I... I think this is a bit much..."

?

Behind her, her two teammates were stunned!

Wait, sister, standing up at a time like this—are you really not afraid of death?

If you're not afraid, we still are!

The predatory eyes all around them looked ready to devour them!

Minister Li Hairong's face darkened, his gaze fierce: "Dr. Qiao, you'd better... think carefully before you speak?"

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said with forced courage: "I... I just feel that since the current situation is unclear, shouldn't we be more cautious?"

"Hmph!"

Minister Li Hairong interrupted her impatiently, "Cut the fucking crap! I don't have time to listen to your reasoning!"

As he spoke, the Scavengers closed the distance even further!

Liu Zixuan's legs were shaking. Looking at those burly men with their ferocious faces, he felt like he was going to kneel at any moment!

They were just ordinary students who had at most seen street punks; they had never experienced this kind of underworld presence. The sheer pressure alone felt like it was going to eat him alive!

Li Mengyao took a step back and whispered, "Chen... Chen Yu, what should we do..."

Shen Qingci quietly shifted her stance, quickly assessing the situation in her mind:

She was an S-rank, and Chen Yu's strength was unfathomable. If they really started fighting, they wouldn't necessarily lose!

"We'll yield! We'll give up the room!"

Zhang Longqi suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Rong! Room 205 is for the Scavenger brothers! We'll swap! We'll absolutely cooperate!"

Minister Li Hairong narrowed his eyes and showed a satisfied smile: "Tsk, now that's more like it! If you'd been this sensible earlier, why would we have had to make everyone unhappy?"

Zhang Longqi hurriedly added: "Brother Rong! I-I'm an A-Rank Talent, [Steel Body]!"

Minister Li Hairong raised an eyebrow and looked over Zhang Longqi's build: "Waiting for me there, huh? Fine, from now on you're one of the Scavengers. I'll give you an invitation card later."

Fearing he'd be left behind, Liu Zixuan also hurriedly bowed and scraped, his voice trembling: "Brother Rong! Brother Rong! Me too! I'm also willing to join the Scavengers! I-I'll be obedient too!"

Minister Li Hairong glanced at him sideways: "You? What's your talent?"

Liu Zixuan swallowed and answered shakily: "D-Rank, Soul Link. It can..."

"Fine, we're not short on invitation cards anyway. Come over together."

Minister Li Hairong agreed casually.

But in reality, a piece of trash wanting to join the Scavengers was pure fantasy.

"You guys..."

Li Mengyao's eyes widened: "You're joining the underworld???"

Shen Qingci's expression also turned completely cold.

Lin Yue was so scared she shrank back: "H-How can you do this..."

Zhang Longqi, leading Liu Zixuan, quickly ran behind Minister Li Hairong!

"Chen Yu, back on the bus, you really enjoyed hitting me, didn't you?"

Only then did he speak viciously: "But unfortunately, you're going to pay the price for your arrogance!"

Chen Yu had a smile on his face and didn't act immediately.

Instead, he watched with great interest... because he had suddenly thought of a simpler way.

But the calmer Chen Yu appeared, the angrier and more annoyed Zhang Longqi became!

"Senior Sister Shen, Lin Yue, ever since you got on his bus, you've been brainwashed!"

"I really regret switching buses. But what's done is done. Since I'm having a hard time, then all of you can stay behind!"

Shen Qingci and Lin Yue were momentarily speechless: "You..."

They hadn't expected Zhang Longqi to suddenly retaliate.

"Brother Rong! I can guarantee that Chen Yu is a Ghost Slaves!"

Zhang Longqi shouted!

It immediately drew the attention of the entire dining hall!

Minister Li Hairong narrowed his eyes: "Go on."

Zhang Longqi cleared his throat: "Late last night, when we were all so scared we didn't dare move, he secretly slipped out of the room alone and wandered around the pitch-black villa for who knows how long!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "I ask you, what's the situation outside? You've all seen it! Who could go out and come back alive? Huh?!"

He suddenly raised his voice: "There's only one possibility! He's the Ghost Slaves who took the mission! He's a traitor!"

The long-suppressed panic in the dining hall completely erupted with those words!

"He dared to go out last night? A Ghost Slaves! He's definitely a Ghost Slaves!"

"We were scared to death, who would dare wander around outside?"

"Traitor! Human scum!"

President Sun Xueming led a group of Lighthouse Society passengers, pressing forward as well!

"Do you have anything else to say for yourself?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "What if I said that I went out last night and killed five Ghost Faces?"

As soon as he said this, everyone nearly lost it!

Those Ghost Faces possessed immense strength and had killed 16 people in one night... this guy must be insane!

President Sun Xueming also shook his head: "Are you also going to say that you broke all those mirrors in the hall?"

"Oh, oh, and those vases and picture frames were you too? Hahaha, really..."
