Chapter 243: Skylight City’s High-Level Meeting

There were no accidents on the centipede train.

There were no other people from the Beast God Cult either.

More than ten days later, Lugh and the others returned to Skylight City safely.

After getting off the train station, Lugh escorted the two disciples of the Beast God Cult back to the Emergency Response Team’s base. He reported what had happened in Nanyu City to Elisa.

After listening to Lugh’s report, Elisa looked at Lugh in surprise. “So, you also killed a Platinum-rank Beast God Cult Bishop?”

“Strictly speaking, I cooperated with Guardian Hall to kill him.”

Lugh emphasized, “If Guardian Hall hadn’t held back most of his pet beasts, I really wouldn’t have been able to kill him.”

Elisa said meaningfully, “Even I don’t have the confidence to defeat an expert at the level of a Beast God Bishop.”

Lugh laughed, “Captain is too modest.”

The Bishop of the Beast God Cult was extremely powerful. After killing him, Lugh found out that the other party was actually a Top-tier Platinum powerhouse.

If not for his exceptional talent in Spirit Resistance, Lugh would definitely have been killed instantly.

“I’m not being modest.” Elisa stood up from her chair, “Spiritual-type skills are extremely difficult to deal with. Against a Platinum-level powerhouse who has two Platinum-level pet beasts protecting him, you were actually able to kill him. This… Er… Tell me, what’s the current situation of your strength?”

“It should have been Platinum.”

Elisa stared at Lugh with a burning gaze. “It should have been Platinum? If I remember correctly, you were only just Gold-tier when you participated in the Southwest Grand Tournament.”

“I don’t know why my strength increased so quickly either.”

Elisa covered her head and sat back down on her chair.

She didn’t know why Lugh’s words kept echoing in her ears for a long time.

When she thought about how she was also called a genius, joining the Emergency Response Team, going through countless battlefields, bathing in the blood of Fierce Beasts and enemies, wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, and becoming a Platinum-tier Beast Master at the age of forty, she was respected by countless people.

But Lugh wasn’t even twenty yet, and he had already touched the threshold of being a Platinum-tier Beast Master.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt sad for the Captain of the 7th Team of the Emergency Response Team, Elisa, who was addressed as a strong woman.

“Captain, are you alright?”

Lugh didn’t know how much of a blow he had dealt to Captain Elisa.

“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”

“Then rest well.”

Elisa quickly adjusted her emotions.

Lugh had done well. As the Captain, she should be happy.

If word got out, she, as the Captain, would be delighted.

“Oh, right. Have you thought about what pet beast you’ll need to sign after you become a Platinum-tier Beast Master?”

“If you still can’t decide, go look for General Paul. The Southwest Military has a lot of valuable Divine Beast eggs in the Southwest. With your talent and ability, he’ll definitely help you. If the Southwest Military’s collection isn’t enough to satisfy you, then go to the Pavilion of Treasures and take a look.”

“Yes, okay.”

Lugh also remembered that when he joined Skylight City, Alvin had told him that he could get a free egg of a Divine Beast with King’s potential from the army.

“Go back. Remember to write a report for me.”

“Report?”

Lugh looked at Elisa in surprise.

“Yes, Bania takes the matter of the Beast God Cult very seriously. This time, you have to write a report.”

“I don’t know how to write it.”

“Alright, I’ll give you a template. You just have to write it according to the format and describe all the actions clearly.”

Elisa took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Lugh. “If you want to take a vacation, you have to write a report first.”

“Alright.”

After spending a little effort, Lugh barely finished writing the report.

As for the secrets on him, he also hid some of them.

His mental resistance could not be hidden, but it was not a big problem.

He had no choice. His Berserk Bear was just that strong.

After passing the report to Elisa, Elisa read it carefully and said, “It was written in more detail. It’s not bad. Pass.”

Lugh let out a long breath.

He was afraid that Elisa would let him continue to change it.

Anyone who had worked as a clerk would know about the report.

He was afraid that his boss would be dissatisfied and request to change it again and again.

Obviously, Elisa was more concerned about the contents of the report than the superficial expressions.

“Captain, I’ll take a leave of absence and rest.”

“Approved.”

Elisa handed a note to Lugh. Elisa’s name had already been signed.

The only things that needed to be filled in were the person who took the leave, the number of days of leave, and the duration of the leave.

“Do not take more than ten days of leave.”

“Okay.”

“The two followers of the Beast God Cult have already been interrogated by the military. During this period, the military might find you to ask about some things. If there’s nothing else, do not leave Skylight City.”

“Yes.”

After filling in five days, Lugh handed the leave request to the guard room and boarded the military vehicle to return to Skylight City.

Thinking of going home, Lugh was in a good mood.

After returning home, his only plan was to lie down for a day.

Three days later, at the Military Headquarters of Skylight City.

General Paul of the Southwest Region, Deputy Guardian of Skylight City Alvin, Captain Bania of the Southwest Emergency Response Team, Vice-Captain Barnard, and Captain Elisa of the 7th Team had gathered in an office.

On the table in front of them, there were three documents and reports.

One was the report of Lugh’s actions.

The other was the report of the incident in Nanyu City.

The third was the report of the interrogation of the two prisoners of the Beast God Cult.

They had already read through the three reports.

Paul smiled and said, “So, that kid, Lugh, helped us settle all these matters?”

Bania leaned back on his chair and said, “The summary of the three documents shows that the matter of the Beast God Cult wanting to infiltrate our Southwest Region was planned and promoted by the Bishop of the Beast God Cult, Anderson. He led nine subordinates as the vanguard and sneaked into our side. Unfortunately, they were discovered by Nanyu City when they were preaching.”

“Originally, the two members of the Beast God Cult in Nanyu City were well hidden. However, due to a flaw, they were caught by Lugh.”

Skylight City’s Deputy Guardian, Alvin, flipped through Lugh’s report on his actions and scanned the process of Lugh finding the members of the Beast God Cult. The scent of the young girl who had been kidnapped seventeen days ago.

Bania continued, “Anderson must have attacked Nanyu City’s military headquarters to save his two subordinates. With his strength, he should have been a shoo-in. Hall wouldn’t have been his match. However, he didn’t count on Lugh.”

At this point, Bania couldn’t help but sigh.

Who would have thought that a Gold-tier Beast Master would be able to kill a Platinum-tier expert head-on?

Anderson was no ordinary bishop of the Beast God Cult.

“According to the interrogation report and Hall’s report, Anderson brought nine Gold-tier elites this time. Apart from the two of us, the rest met the emergency team when they were breaking out of the prison. All of Anderson’s subordinates were killed by Lugh.”

Paul could not help but grin and said, “In other words, Lugh took care of all the vanguard forces of the Beast God Cult.”

“Yes.” Bania nodded with certainty. “We have checked the bodies that Hall sent over. They are indeed federal-level wanted criminals. There is no doubt about it.”

“Although it was a little accidental, it can not be denied that Lugh did annihilate all the members of the Beast God Cult who tried to infiltrate the Southwest.” Bania took a deep breath and said, “If we let those people do whatever they want and gain a foothold in the Southwest, we’ll also be in big trouble.”

Paul looked at Elisa and said with certainty, “This time, your Emergency Response Team did a good job. Lugh also made a great contribution.”

Elisa raised her hand.

Paul nodded and said, “Speak.”

“Lugh’s strength is about to break through to Platinum rank.”

The four higher-ups present did not have any expression on their faces.

When they saw Lugh’s battle results, they had already mentally prepared themselves.

No matter how shocked they were, they would not show it on their faces.

The higher-ups of Skylight City had seen all kinds of things.

Even if it was the end of the world tomorrow, they would not be able to see panic on their faces.

Elisa said, “If he breaks through to Platinum level, he might need a new pet and some guidance.”

Bania looked at Paul and smiled, “General, do you want to give that Divine Beast egg to Lugh?”

Paul was silent. He put his hands on the table and closed his eyes.

Bania took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, “That Divine Beast egg has been kept by that person for many years. If it is not used, it is just a decoration.”
