Chapter 488 The Real Luo Hai
Luo Qing was stunned when he saw the little girl, for she was none other than Luo Ming's personal maid.
Originally, the girl was not one of Luo Hai's people; Luo Ming had brought her back from an outing.
It was precisely because she was so adept at looking after people that Luo Ming made an exception and kept her by his side.
"You were sent by the Knights of the Round Table!"
Luo Qing immediately became agitated and grabbed the little girl by the collar.
The little girl instantly began to cry, then suddenly knelt on the ground.
"My family is in their hands, I have no choice but to follow their orders! But Mr. Luo Ming has been so kind to me, I couldn't bear to harm him, so each time I administered poison, I only used half the dose."
"So it was you who poisoned him!" Luo Qing didn't care about that, gripping the girl's shoulders, he was about to kill her.
Chen Yu quickly stopped him.
"Young Master Luo, don't be impulsive. This little girl was also threatened by the Knights of the Round Table. If you kill her now, I'm afraid her family won't survive either! Besides, I see she doesn't have any malicious intentions. Why not keep her, let her make amends, and use her as a valuable piece against the Knights of the Round Table in the future?"
After pondering for a moment, Luo Qing released the girl.
Honestly, had the girl not halved the dose, Luo Ming would have died long ago.
"I will spare you this time in Mr. Chen's honor, but if you dare try anything again, I will kill you."
The little girl knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, and didn't dare to utter a single word.
Chen Yu didn't say anything more. After writing a prescription and handing it to Luo Qing, he went off by himself to the courtyard.
Jin Lingsu somehow found a bottle of yellow wine and approached Chen Yu from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chen Yu let out a small sigh, "It's unlikely we can take down the Knights of the Round Table quickly; our only option is to find a way to cause internal strife!"
After taking a big gulp of wine, Jin Lingsu said, "So you have a plan?"
Chen Yu's teeth clenched with a crunch.
"The Milore Family! They are one of the members of the Knights of the Round Table and the second most powerful force after the Childe Family. If we can pit them against the Childe Family, the Knights of the Round Table will fall apart without us having to attack."
"That's a good idea indeed, but it's too risky!" Jin Lingsu threw the empty wine bottle aside; "If it doesn't work out, the Milore Family won't hesitate to tear you to pieces."
Chen Yu snorted, "But as far as I know, there's an irreconcilable dispute over interests between the Milore Family and the Childe Family. If we can exploit this, things will be a lot simpler."
At that moment, Luo Qing also came over.
"Mr. Chen, are you planning to take action against the Knights of the Round Table?"
Chen Yu nodded, "Arrange a boat for me, I plan to make a trip to the Milore Family."
Luo Qing seemed panicked, "Are you going alone? It's too dangerous; I will send some capable hands to accompany you."
Chen Yu shook his head, "Too many people would be a hindrance; I can manage on my own."
Jin Lingsu pulled Luo Qing aside, "His decisions are not open to change by anyone! Don't worry, he'll call us if he needs to."
Luo Qing didn't know what else to say. After all, Chen Yu was the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, and being the leader of the world's foremost organization, Chen Yu certainly had his own methods.
The next morning, Chen Yu walked alone on the streets of the small island.
Although he had reached cooperation with the Luo Hai organization, he couldn't guarantee that the organization wouldn't renege on their agreement.
After all, the Luo Hai organization had pirate origins long ago, with an inherent savagery and penchant for plundering that had never really changed.
Now that he had arrived at their headquarters, it was time to wander around and observe the local customs and get a real sense of Luo Hai's situation.
After strolling for half a day, he sat down at an authentic dessert stall.
The ancestors of the Luo Family had come from the South Seas, so the desserts here were extremely authentic.
Chen Yu had just ordered a cup when two groups suddenly appeared on the street.
These guys, barefaced, didn't even exchange words before they collided, and the sound of metal striking metal instantly reverberated through the street.
The shopkeepers on the street seemed to have seen it all before and calmly continued with their business, while the people drinking dessert nearby simply held their bowls and leaned against the pillars, watching the commotion.
Curious, Chen Yu too held his dessert and moved closer.
"So many people fighting here, aren't you afraid?"
The young man beside him gulped down his dessert and said, "Afraid of what? Scenes like this happen several times a day; we're used to it."
"Used to it?" Chen Yu's eyes widened: "Doesn't anyone care?"
"Who would care?" the youth wiped his mouth: "Although the Luo Hai organization is dominated by the Luo Family, there are many other families from outside under them. Conflicts between these people are beyond anyone's control, but they all know their limits and won't kill anyone."
No sooner had he finished than a figure flew out from the crowd, crashed onto the roadside, and vomited blood profusely.
Chen Yu instinctively wanted to go forward to help, but several doctors rushed out from a nearby shop, put the person on a stretcher, and hurriedly left.
Chen Yu was left in amazement, realizing that even medical teams were on standby at the side.
After collecting himself, he released his system to scan the brain information of every individual present.
The island where the Luo Hai organization was located was the largest in the southern hemisphere.
Because it was isolated at sea and far from other continents, it was considered a haven from the outside world.
In the last century, many people fled here to escape war and lived in peace and contentment.
The Luo Family also arrived at that time. They quickly gathered all the powers under their influence and established order with their strength.
Later families and powers entering this place either directly pledged allegiance to the Luo Family or cooperated with them, securing a small piece of land on the island as their own domain.
As time progressed, the entire island nation formally became an organization, known as Luo Hai.
However, the smaller powers held significant authority and had substantial conflicts among themselves. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire
Because of the initial agreements between all the power-holders, the Luo Family lacked the authority or power to restrain or resolve these conflicts, and so let them create chaos as they pleased.
Yet, these powers gave the Luo Family enough respect that every time they clashed, they took care to avoid fatalities, at most leaving a few crippled.
Chen Yu was utterly bewildered; he had thought that for the Luo Hai organization to be counted among the world's top ten organizations with a single family at the helm, the Luo Family's strength must be above that of the Childe Family.
He didn't expect it to function in such a manner.
If this was the case, it was unlikely that Luo Hai could unite all its forces to stand with him against the Knights of the Round Table.
No wonder Luo Qing hesitated so much when they discussed it initially—there were reasons for that hesitation after all.
