Chapter 486: 486
Luo Qing stiffened in place, his mind hadn't entertained the possibility that Chen Yu would make such a demand.
The Knights of the Round Table were the strongest organization besides the Xuanqing Sect, with influence spreading across the world.
Although Luo Hai also ranked among the world's top ten organizations, they paled in comparison to the Knights of the Round Table.
"Mr. Chen, it goes without saying that since you agreed to treat my father, I should unconditionally comply with all your requests. But taking on the Knights of the Round Table is too difficult; I fear it would drag the entirety of Luo Hai into jeopardy!"
As he said this, Luo Qing hesitated, as if weighing his words.
A moment later, he pulled out a token from his body and handed it over.
"No matter what, if Mr. Chen needs me, I will go through fire and water. However, to involve Luo Hai in a confrontation with the Knights of the Round Table would require my father's approval, which can only be given after his recovery, to provide you with a response," he said.

Chen Yu didn't reach out to take the token: "Then we'll wait until your father's disease is cured before we discuss this."
Luo Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief; he had feared that Chen Yu would press him relentlessly.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Yu nodded and then stood up to walk over to the nearby surveillance screen.
"Does the invitation you received specify what exactly this banquet is about?"
Luo Qing sighed softly, "I don't know. My father told me when I came here not to agree to any requests made at the banquet, no matter what they were. As for the specifics, I am also unaware."
Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly; he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Just then, several sneaky figures appeared on the surveillance screen, approaching their location. It looked like Fox intended to make a move on Luo Qing.
"If I'm not mistaken, they plan to use this opportunity to redraw the rules and ensnare everyone who has landed on the island in one fell swoop."
Luo Qing also saw the footage on the surveillance screen and quickly grabbed a coat to drape over himself.
"Tell the people outside to defend immediately!"
A loud shout and the bodyguards outside responsible for the watch immediately became alert.
Each of them was equipped with the world's most advanced gear, which in theory should enable them to detect anyone within a hundred-meter radius, yet these intruders had nearly got in their faces without being noticed.
If not for Luo Qing's warning, they might all have been wiped out by now.
Chaos instantly erupted outside, with loud shouts and killing noises.
Chen Yu pushed open the door and walked straight out, taking a token of the Knights of the Round Table from his body.
"Listen up, all of you, I'm still a member of the Knights of the Round Table! Those who obey the command, drop your weapons immediately, or I'll kill you all right now," he declared.
The assassins who had rushed over hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.
They had come here on the orders of the Knights of the Round Table. Now that a token of the Knights of the Round Table had emerged, it could also command them.
After exchanging glances, the group of assassins retreated one by one.
Chen Yu's eyes were slightly narrowed; he knew it was time to make a move against the Childe Family.
Luo Qing was panting heavily: "I didn't think that the Knights of the Round Table would actually dare to strike at other organizations. Aren't they afraid that the remaining organizations will band together against them?"
Chen Yu sighed helplessly.
"I'm afraid they have already made thorough preparations!"
The Knights of the Round Table consisted of the thirteen most powerful families in the world, their power extending throughout the various lands. If they had decided to take this step, it showed that they must have accumulated enough strength in their hands.
Luo Qing clenched his teeth tightly, his breathing becoming more rapid.
"I don't have many people with me, I'm afraid we can't get out."
"That's not necessarily true!" Chen Yu's mouth curled into a sly grin as he took out a golden sphere from his body and threw it into the sky.
The sphere exploded in the sky, releasing a dazzling light, and then a thunderous cheering erupted throughout the archipelago.
A moment later, a large crowd ran out from the buildings on each island and rushed towards the largest dock.
Luo Qing was stunned, "Mr. Chen, had you already prepared a contingency plan?"
Chen Yu didn't answer but simply pulled him towards the direction of the dock and ran.
There were several large ships docked at the pier, and under Jin Lingsu's organization, everyone hurried aboard.
By the time Chen Yu arrived, the steamer was about to leave the shore.
Jin Lingsu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yu's arm, and directly pulled him onto the ship.
"How about it? Everything was done according to your instructions!"
Chen Yu patted Jin Lingsu on the shoulder.
"Not bad, let's get moving."
In the afternoon, Chen Yu had felt that something was off about this place and had Jin Lingsu activate the Lakato Family's relations to make arrangements with everyone.
As soon as Chen Yu released the signal, they were to rush to the dock and leave this place immediately.
So far, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Just then, a burly man with a pale face suddenly sprinted from the middle of the archipelago.
His height of five meters and his unnaturally robust body shocked everyone.
They had never seen anyone this tall in the world before.
His physical quality and jumping ability were extraordinary as well; with a light leap, he reached mid-air, looking like he was about to crash onto the deck.
Chen Yu immediately took two steps forward and then jumped up, throwing a punch at the giant man.
A thunderous sound erupted in the sky; the man was flung backward and smashed heavily onto the dock.
Chen Yu landed on the deck as if nothing had happened.
All eyes were on Chen Yu, everyone seemingly could not believe how powerful he was.
"What are you standing around for? Let's go!"
Chen Yu shouted, then ran straight to the helm.
The giant man who had attacked earlier had come from the Knights of the Round Table's laboratory and possessed incredible strength.
Although Chen Yu appeared to be unharmed, his body trembled violently after exchanging a punch with that man.
Furthermore, there were unquestionably more men like this one in the laboratory. If they didn't leave quickly, the ship might be capsized.
They had just left the dock not more than two hundred meters away when urgent shouts erupted from the dock.
"Mr. Chen, after all, you are one of our Knights of the Round Table, and some matters should still be discussed internally. Please bring the ship back."
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Yu knew it was Fox's, but he was not foolish enough to obediently bring the ship back.
He took a megaphone from the helm, walked onto the deck, and turned the volume up to the maximum.
"Mr. Fox, let's part ways here. As for that damned Knights of the Round Table, I quit! Your pursuit to kill me, I'll note it for now. Sooner or later, I will erase the Knights of the Round Table from this world completely."
