Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

“And… ”

“What benefit do I get from working with you?”

When Lu Yu fired off a barrage of questions, Wang Hu could not help but scratch his nose awkwardly. After formulating his answer properly in his heart, Wang Hu then answered Lu Yu.

“This is the time schedule and the route the Hu family takes to transport the spiritual energy ore in recent times. The amount of spiritual energy ore in each batch is downright astounding!”

“So, Brother, the task I am asking you to help is…”

“To rob these spiritual energy ores. I will use my channels to sell off these spiritual energy ores. As for the profits obtainable, Brother, you will take 70% while I… well, I can settle for 30%!”

After saying that, Wang Hu looked expectantly at Lu Yu, looking forward to his answer.

To his surprise, Lu Yu rejected the proposal straightaway right in Wang Hut s face without even giving it any consideration.

“No deal. There’s no room for negotiation in this matter. I will not do it. Look for someone else!”

With that, Lu Yu stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave the warehouse.

However, just when Lu Yu was about to turn and leave the warehouse, Wang Hu began laughing heartily.

“Hahaha! Brother, please hold on. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. I was also afraid that you were the vicious and unscrupulous type who would stop at nothing to achieve your aim.”

“But it looks like my speculation about you is totally wrong, Brother. There is absolutely no basis for it at all!”

As Wang Hu spoke, he gave a deep and respectful bow to Lu Yu. He then added loudly, “I must beg you for forgiveness, Brother. I am also disinclined to carry out such ignoble activities!”

When he heard these words coming from Wang Hu behind him, Lu Yu stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Wang Hu.

“Really? Well, then. Can you tell me the real reason you asked me to come here?”

“Then I must invite you to come this way, Brother. Let’s sit down and chat over a cup of hot tea.”

“Fine. I want to see what it is that you want to talk to me about!”

As Lu Yu spoke, he followed Wang Hu to an office on one side of the warehouse.

After arriving at the office, Wang Hu personally made a pot of hot tea for Lu Yu and handed a cup of tea to him.

Lu Yu accepted the tea Wang Hu offered him. After taking a small sip, he placed the cup on the table.

When Wang Hu saw that Lu Yu only took a tiny sip before putting down the tea cup, he smiled faintly and didn’t take the matter to heart.

“Brother, I, Wang Hu, may not be some upright gentleman, but at least I still do what is right and act fairly!”

“But that Hu family has really gone overboard. During this period, my business deals have all been targeted by the Hu family.”

At this point, Wang Hu was filled with so much righteous indignation that he was practically bursting with fury.

Perhaps sensing that his emotions were somewhat out of control, Wang Hu hastily forced himself to suppress his anger and smiled apologetically at Lu Yu.

“My apologies, Brother. My emotions got the better of me.”

“This Hu family is really too despicable. Therefore, I want to join forces with you again, Brother, and together, we’ll find a way to punish the Hu family!”

“Although I, Wang Hu, am not short of money, my ability is not strong enough and so I don’t pose a threat to the Hu family. But you! You are different!”

“You are at least a Grade 5 War General. With your strength, Brother, and my wealth combined, we will definitely be able to make the Hu family bleed again with another brutal loss.”

When Wang Hu finished speaking, he was visibly moved as he watched Lu Yu, waiting for his reply.

After listening to Wang Hu, Lu Yu mulled over the proposition thoroughly before saying to Wang Hu, “Wang Hu, I admit that your proposal is indeed not bad and is very tempting to me. But I want to know if you have a detailed plan about how you are going to retaliate against the Hu family?”

“If you can’t come up with a plan that satisfies me, or a well thought out strategy, then I’m afraid I will have to tell you: Sorry!”

After hearing Lu Yu, Wang Hu became silent. Then he spoke again slowly, “Please rest easy on this point, Brother. I, Wang Hu, already have enough confidence in its feasibility. I believe that after you read this document, you will know that I, Wang Hu, am not the kind who will engage in that sort of suicidal mission.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu took the document folder handed to him by Wang Hu somewhat doubtfully, and opened the folder to read it.

AS ne read through the document, a somewhat peculiar expression flashed across Lu Yu’s face.

After reading the document in his hand, Lu Yu took a deep breath. He then raised his head and looked Wang Hu in the eye before saying indifferently, “Wang Hu, I must admit that I am very satisfied with this document you showed me. I accept your proposal!”

“As for the actual detailed plan, we’ll go with what you have in this document. I hope you will have the preliminary preparations ready as soon as possible.”

When Lu Yu finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and drank the rest of the tea in one go. Then he stood up without any expression and placed the bank card inside the document folder that Wang Hu had intended to give him under the tea cup.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu turned around and walked out of Wang Huts office in big strides and left this warehouse.

After Lu Yu left, Wang Hu only discovered the bank card Lu Yu had left behind when he was clearing the tea utensils.

Looking at this bank card that was left behind by Lu Yu, Wang Hu realized he had failed to give it away and he smiled helplessly. “Looks like this War General powerful expert is really quite upright.” As Wang Hu spoke, he took back the bank card.

After leaving the warehouse, Lu Yu took out his phone and searched for a nearby pawnshop on the navigation software.

Those spiritual energy ores belonging to the Hu family which he had plundered from the interior of the Southern Seas Hotel were still in his interspatial ring. It was time for him to find a place to offload these spiritual energy ores and some other things that he couldn’t use.

Soon, Lu Yu made his way to a pawnshop nearby.

This pawnshop looked very run-down. Lu Yu pushed open the door that was about to fall off and walked in slowly.

Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, a balding old man who was initially sprawled across the counter and dozing, immediately stood up.

“Good day. Welcome to Saint’s Presence Pawnshop. May I ask how I can help you, Sir?”

In response to the old man’s query, Lu Yu answered slowly, “Hmm. I am here to sell some stuff.. I wonder if your shop can take them?”
