Chapter 555 An Inevitable Conflict
After Lu Yu declared his stance, the guard turned around and took out his walkie-talkie, starting to make contact with his superior.
After several whispers, the guard turned around and looked at Lu Yu, saying, “Our Captain said that you can go in and find him in the meeting room.”
“As for the meeting room, it’s there.”
He pointed toward the inside of the stronghold. As expected, it was the building with the giant antenna on the roof.
Lu Yu looked into the stronghold, pushed open the gates and walked in.
After entering the stronghold, Lu Yu saw a busy crowd. They walked quickly throughout the stronghold. Some went to the gym, some went to restaurants, and some were busy working.
The environment here was completely different from the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce stronghold.
First of all, the size was different. The area here was much smaller than the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce’s. Lu Yu estimated that there were about two to three hundred people around the area. If there were more, this stronghold would be unable to accommodate them all.
After entering, Lu Yu saw the eye-catching car.
In the deep mountains and dense forests, ordinary vehicles wouldn’t be able to operate, but this car was different. It could fly to an open area and then land. With the superior performance of the off-road vehicle, it could also move quickly.
“There’s high-tech everywhere here. It seems that the Star Science Chamber of Commerce does specialize in technology.”
“I saw a drone landing platform over there,” Xu Yuan commented. “It seems that they usually use drones to explore the surroundings.”
“No wonder they didn’t set up small strongholds outside…”
As he followed Lu Yu to the meeting room, Xu Yuan said.
The meeting room was a simple building with two floors. The first floor was for meetings, and the second floor was the office of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce captain.
Lu Yu came to the door and knocked on it.
Soon, the door was opened, and a man in a blue uniform walked out.
“You are Lu Yu? The person who occupied the mines?” The other party asked.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “That’s right; it’s me. I’m here to find someone.”
“Do come in.”
That person turned around and walked into the meeting room, with Lu Yu following closely behind.
The lights were on in the meeting room, illuminating the entire room. Around the large conference table, five or six people were sitting. None of them looked like ordinary individuals. Their eyes were sharp, and their expressions were serious.
The person sitting on the main seat was, of course, the captain of this place.
The captain wore a white sweater and a pair of casual black pants, and his hair was parted in the middle.
He stared at Lu Yu with his small, single-eyelid eyes, his expression indifferent.
“Hey, you’re from the Freedom Federation, right?” He asked.
“That’s right, I am. The few people behind me are the same.”
Lu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down casually.
Xu Yuan and the others also sat down.
Lu Yu looked at the man in front of him and asked, “Where’s Wang Meng? He’s the one you caught around the mines. I’m here to find him.”
“That guy is with me, but I have to say that I’m surprised. I didn’t expect you to come all the way here just to find a guard?”
He sized Lu Yu up with curiosity.
“I don’t have time to chit-chat with you. Bring Wang Meng out, I’ll bring him back, and we’ll part ways. If you can’t do that, I’ll have to take him away with another method.”
Hearing Lu Yu’s words, the man smiled and comforted, “Don’t worry, he’s fine with me, but I won’t let him go so easily. I want to make a deal with you.”
“I’m Qin Yang, the son of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce’s president.”
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Lu Yu’s reaction.
Usually, when he explained his identity, the other party would be surprised and then respect him.
After all, the Star Science Chamber of Commerce was a considerable force with wealth that could rival a country!
Being the student of a chamber of commerce president, his wealth was uncountable, and the power he held was unsurmountable.
However, when Lu Yu heard his identity, he only nodded slightly. I know. “My name is Lu Yu, and I’m a student of the Freedom Federation.”
Seeing Lu Yu’s calm reaction, Qin Yang was slightly unhappy.
“I will stop beating around the bush with you. I’ll make the deal clear now. I can if you want me to hand him over to you.”
“You have to give me the mining rights to your mines. In other words, your people will withdraw from there, and my people will go in and excavate it. Do you understand?”
He said it in an unquestionable tone as if he had already made up his mind, not giving Lu Yu any room to negotiate.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He knew the importance of the mines, and he would never give them away.
“I can see that you’re indeed the son of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce president. You’re really eager to get your hands on any benefits.”
When Qin Yang heard this, he only laughed in disdain. “I don’t need to hear your nonsense. If businessmen don’t look at profits, what do they look at?”
“Our people have already conducted energy exploration in that mine. “The energy index is frighteningly high, and I’m taking it!”
Qin Yang declared with a firm tone.
“Energy exploration? Is that some kind of advanced technology from your Chamber of Commerce?” Lu Yu asked curiously.
“Of course. The ores inside those mines will greatly benefit our scientific and technological research. Many of our products need those ores, so we have developed an instrument to detect those ores.”
“So, I’m going to take that mine, you understand me?” Qin Yang’s tone was firm, and he didn’t give Lu Yu the opportunity to object.
Lu Yu laughed when he saw how confident Qin Yang was.
“What are you laughing at? Do you think my words carry no weight? You can ask anyone from Stellaris and see if any of my demands haven’t been fulfilled. Do you dare not give me what I want?”
He raised his head slightly and looked down at Lu Yu arrogantly.
Lu Yu looked at him and stopped smiling. His face hardened as he replied, “I’m giving you my decision then. If you want to take the mines, you can do so in your dreams. If you don’t let my people go, you will die today.”
After being threatened with death, a trace of fear appeared on Qin Yang’s face. He quickly shouted, “You dare to threaten me? Are you looking for death? Do you know who I am? Don’t you know who my father is?”
“I don’t care who your father is. I’m saying this one last time. Let my people go, or you’ll die here today!”
Lu Yu’s tone was cold and threatening, inciting disturbances among everyone else.
A tall and sturdy woman sitting beside Qin Yang suddenly stood up and pointed at Lu Yu’s nose, shouting angrily, “You dare to threaten young master Qin? I guess you just don’t value your life!”
At that moment, Han Xuefei, who was beside Lu Yu, also stood up abruptly. She glared at the woman in front of her with a murderous look. “You’re the one who’s looking for death!”
