The rules of the Lord World are quite unreasonable and heavily favor those with the status of a Lord.
No one can attack a person with Lord status without reason.
However, ordinary people do not have such treatment. If Chen Yu wanted to beat him, he wouldn't even need to do it himself; he could just spend a little money to call a bunch of thugs.
Therefore...
That's why Li Ming showed that wary expression after the debt relationship disappeared.
He was afraid that Chen Yu would hold a grudge and cause him trouble.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Li Ming repeatedly promised, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely find a good match for you and be a good middleman. I won't earn a single penny from you, Boss."
The price of a castle is not low.
But Li Ming did not doubt whether Chen Yu had the financial capability. Doubting was meaningless; at worst, it would just be a wasted trip.
It was better than a big deal flying away.
Hearing Li Ming's words, Chen Yu chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, I won't shortchange you on what you should earn. As long as you find a good one, I won't mistreat you either. I'm leaving now. If you have news, come find me at my home. I hope to see you before tomorrow."
After leaving this sentence.
Chen Yu casually slipped him 100,000 as a service fee and then left, also demonstrating his strength.
Li Ming watched his disappearing figure, then after a long moment of Stunned, put the 300,000 into his pocket and returned to his original spot to wait.
He hoped that there would still be two or three indebted Lords who could return alive from the Dark World.
After leaving Awakening Square, rows of stone houses appeared before Chen Yu.
Except for the area around Awakening Square, other parts of the Lord World were more medieval in style, with stone houses, and wealthy people living in castles.
On the road, there were rickshaws pulling people, which was the only mode of transportation in the Lord World.
In this world, people who haven't awakened as Lords are truly like cattle and horses. They either do manual labor, or work in certain 'factory-like' areas, working year-round without rest, or they are like Li Ming, trying every possible way to struggle for survival.
Although becoming a Lord also means struggling for survival in the Dark World.
Regardless, it is a way out, and their status is completely different from those who do not have Lord status.
Chen Yu took a rickshaw to his doorstep.
The journey took over half an hour, and the fare was only a few tens, but Chen Yu directly gave a few hundred.
This made the rickshaw puller extremely grateful.
The original owner's home was a relatively dilapidated stone house, looking very ordinary.
But even such a rundown house was his parents' lifelong savings and their only remaining inheritance.
The original owner failed to awaken as a War Lord, becoming a Dungeon Lord, and knew that he could never make a name for himself, and this mortgaged house would never be recovered.
This matter became the original owner's biggest obsession.
Chen Yu's return this time was to resolve this obsession and redeem this house. Now, this matter was done, almost effortlessly.
Although from now on, he might not live here.
But living or not living is a different matter from having or not having.
Chen Yu stood at the doorway, sighing with emotion.
Then he pushed the door open and entered.
He was startled to find that there were people inside, and quite a few of them, appearing to be a family.
The people inside were obviously stunned as well. After seeing Chen Yu's face, they froze in place, "Xiao Yu, you... didn't you go to the Dark World after awakening as a Dungeon Lord? Why are you back?"
?
Chen Yu frowned.
After opening the door, the first to speak was a girl who looked to be his age, with a sweet face and long black hair.
This girl stared blankly at Chen Yu, her expression complex.
Zhou Wenjing.
True to her name, she looked very quiet and didn't seem to talk much.
Chen Yu frowned.
Dormant memories suddenly assaulted him.
Damn!
He remembered! This seemed to be the original owner's ex-girlfriend. At the time, because he awakened as a Dungeon Lord, his ex-girlfriend, after finding out, thought he would definitely not return and decisively broke up with him. The two parted ways from then on.
This incident also had a huge impact on the original owner at the time.
It was also under the accumulation of various events that the original owner couldn't bear it and suddenly died.
Originally, Chen Yu thought that a breakup was a breakup, and the two would never have any interaction in the future, so he didn't pay much attention. But he never expected...
As soon as this door opened, his ex-girlfriend was living in his house?
What does this mean!
Chen Yu glanced inside the house: two men and three women. If no accident, the others should be Zhou Wenjing's parents and her younger brother.
"Zhou Wenjing, what's going on? Why are you appearing in my house?"
Chen Yu asked in a deep voice.
"What, your house?" A young girl shrieked and stood up, questioning the man next to her, "Zhou Wenhao, didn't you say this was your house? How did it become his house? What exactly is going on?"
"Not Xiao Yu, listen to me explain..." Zhou Wenhao rushed over and grabbed the girl's hand, babbling a long explanation.
"No need to explain, you liar! Bah, your whole family are liars."
The young girl shook him off and slammed the door shut.
Seeing the girl leave, another slightly older woman rushed over angrily, "Why did you come back out of nowhere and ruin my son's marriage? Now what do you say we do?"
Clearly.
Zhou Wenjing thought he must have died in the Dark World, and then she took this house of his, disguised it as her family's, and used it to help her brother get a wife.
But she never expected.
Chen Yu not only returned safe and sound, but he also returned so coincidentally, just in time to ruin her family's good fortune.
Facing Mother Zhou's questioning.
Chen Yu found it amusing and sneered, "What does my return to my own home have to do with you? On the contrary, you lot, uninvited, what... are you planning on making me send you to the Judicial Squad, huh?"
If it were the original owner, he might soften towards Zhou Wenjing at this point.
But Chen Yu didn't want to be entangled with the original owner's relationships, so he couldn't be bothered to say more to the other party and directly ordered them to leave.
Mother Zhou still wanted to say a few more words.
Zhou Wenjing's face changed drastically when she heard the words 'Judicial Squad'. She quickly pulled her family away.
Now Chen Yu's status was that of a Lord. When the Judicial Squad handled this matter, it was impossible for them to side with them, let alone the fact that they were trespassing in the first place.
As she left, Zhou Wenjing looked at Chen Yu with a complex expression.
However, he didn't even look at her properly, his gaze only falling inside the house, looking around.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenjing couldn't help but feel a little dejected and left dispiritedly.
At the doorway, she also ran into Li Siya.
Under Li Siya's scrutinizing gaze, she didn't even dare to lift her head and left.
