Star Odyssey

Chapter 1024: Lu Yin’s Authority

Despite his terrible crimes, even if Grand Marshal Shui Chuanxiao was not put to death, he still would not be employed by the Hall of Honor anymore. Thus, as long as he was rescued, it was quite likely that he would join the Great Yu Empire.

If that was the case, then Lu Yin had to make some preparations in advance.

“Continue issuing the requisition orders to Shamrock Enterprises,” Lu Yin commented.

En Ya immediately acknowledged his words and sent out more orders.

Lu Yin sipped his tea as he stared off into a distant point in space. No matter if it was for Grand Marshal Shui Chuanxiao or for himself, there were some things that Lu Yin had to do. He still had the cosmic ring that Yu Mu had once thrown to Lu Yin, and it was time to return the ring to its owner.

Before long, En Ya gave an update. “Your Highness, Shamrock Enterprises is refusing the orders.”

“Again,” Lu Yin ordered.

En Ya’s eyes grew bright. “Yes.”

At the same time, on a green planet, Shamrock Enterprises’ Eastern Chairman Shen Fu was no longer as calm as before. He had always been unhurried, and even when Western Chairman Hoffman had died, Shen Fu had been perfectly calm, still lying on his wooden chair as he idly chatted away. Only once the Sixth Mainland invaded the Outerverse and the Hall of Honor had forcibly drafted all the powerhouses had this man moved out.

After the invasion concluded, he had returned here and continued to laze about on his chair in a very comfortable fashion.

However, at this moment he was slightly flustered. “Chief Yu really doesn’t care about Lu Yin. He’s already rejected the orders twice.”

Behind the chairman, his secretary, Xiao Qin, was frowning deeply. “Chief Shen, if the Great Eastern Alliance issues a third requisition order, what should we do?”

Shen Fu was quite upset. “Keep forwarding them on to Chief Yu.”

“And if Chief Yu rejects it yet again?” Xiao Qin asked.

Shen Fu had developed a headache, and he was staring closely at his gadget, clearly rather nervous.

The Eastern Chairman’s initial impression of Lu Yin had been that of disinterest, and it had gradually changed to that of slight apprehension. But now, Lu Yin made him worried. Just how many years had it taken this person to make all of these changes? This youth was too much of a freak; although he was just a Cruiser, he had killed far more Enlighters than anyone else. This person simply did not care about Enlighters, and reportedly, he had even killed two Envoy-level powerhouses! This kid was simply a freak.

Shen Fu knew about Lu Yin’s conflict with Chief Yu, but Shen Fu did not know if the Great Eastern Alliance had been the one who had intentionally lowered the prices of medication to hurt Shamrock Enterprises. Still, Chief Yu had oppressed the Great Eastern Alliance at one time in time, and that was the root of their current troubles.

Shen Fu had a feeling that the reason why the Great Eastern Alliance was issuing orders to them at this time was not simple. It might even be possible that they were simply waiting for Shamrock Enterprises to send another rejection.

There was a beep, and Shen Fu and Xiao Qin both looked over. Their expressions instantly changed; the third requisition had arrived.

Xiao Qin could not help herself from speaking up. “That’s the third requisition orders. If we decline this one, there might be trouble.”

Shen Fu sighed. “We have no choice. Send it to Chief Yu.”

As soon as they forwarded the order to Yu Mu, the man replied, “Ignore it.”

Shen Fu let out a deep breath. “Reject it.”

Xiao Qin’s heart lurched. “Chief Shen, we can fulfill the requisition order with the stock that we have here.”

Shen Fu shook his head. “You don’t understand Chief Yu. If we could think of such a solution, then so can he. He might show some goodwill when faced with Lu Yin’s outstanding nature, but that man can also completely disregard Lu Yin if push comes to shove. If we accept this requisition request ourselves, then no matter how things turn out between the chief and Lu Yin, we’ll be the ones to suffer.”

Xiao Qin was left with no other option, so she could only send a response rejecting the requisition orders.

Shen Fu was correct, as Yu Mu truly did disregard Lu Yin. Shamrock Enterprises was not a power that was based in any weave, as they originated from in the Innerverse. Also, although the company’s origins were in the Innerverse, they had managed to forcibly expand their business into the Cosmic Sea and even the Neoverse, all of which was proof of Shamrock Enterprises’ powerful strength.

What did it matter to them even if Lu Yin did unite the entire Outerverse? Yu Mu did not believe this kid dared to make open enemies with Shamrock Enterprises, as such an idea was simply inconceivable to the man.

Even the Hall of Honor would not casually offend Shamrock Enterprises, and although the Hall of Honor stood behind Lu Yin, Shamrock Enterprises’ foundation was not something that could be sneered at. Besides, they delivered countless medications to the Hall of Honor every year, and they had also made massive contributions. It was impossible for the Hall of Honor to make things difficult for Yu Mu.

As long as the Hall of Honor did not support Lu Yin in his moves against Shamrock Enterprises, Yu Mu did not believe that Lu Yin would be able to do much to him.

As for the matter of Lu Yin killing Envoy-level powerhouses during the battle in the astral cemetery, that had been accomplished purely by relying on items. As long as Yu Mu did not betray the human race, Lu Yin would not have the audacity to deal with Yu Mu by using such power vessels. After all, using such an item meant losing it, and Yu Mu did not believe that Lu Yin would be willing to pay such an exorbitant price just because of a minor grudge.

What made Yu Mu truly fearless was that the Astral River was receding at an ever increasing rate, which meant that the Outerverse’s connection to the Innerverse might be restored soon. At that moment, it would already be kind of Shamrock Enterprises if they decided not to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance at all.

On Zenyu Star, within King Zishan’s palace, En Ya sullenly spoke up. “Your Highness, Shamrock Enterprises has rejected the requisition orders for the third time.”

Lu Yin stood up. “Let’s head out to meet this Chief Yu of ours.”

The requisition orders that En Ya had sent to Shamrock Enterprises had been sent on the public network, which meant many people could see the orders. At this moment, the matter of Shamrock Enterprises consecutively rejecting requisition orders from the Great Eastern Alliance’s Lu Yin had drawn quite a bit of attention.

Many commented on how Yu Mu had suppressed the Great Eastern Alliance in the past. Those who knew the details of the matter understood why the Great Eastern Alliance had sent these orders solely to Shamrock Enterprises alone, and they also understood why Shamrock Enterprises had instantly rejected the orders. There was no room for negotiation in this matter.

In Southside Weave, Elder Daggs had developed another headache, as Lu Yin was causing trouble yet again, and this time, he was even involving Shamrock Enterprises.

Lu Yin had always been very intelligent, so why had he suddenly provoked Shamrock Enterprises? This was going to stir up some serious trouble this time.

Yu Mu’s location was not public knowledge, but there was nothing that could remain a secret to people at Lu Yin’s level.

It took just eight days for Lu Yin to travel from Zenyu star to Yu Mu’s planet due to the speed of his collapsible spacecraft.

When Lu Yin left Zenyu Star, people were already starting to spread news of the matter.

Lu Yin did not seal any of this information off. If he did so, nobody would know that he had left.

He wanted others to know that he had left Zenyu Star, and his destination did not even need to be mentioned.

When Yu Mu had captured En Ya and visited Zenyu Star in the past, his actions had similarly been witnessed by many people. That had been a humiliating experience for both En Ya and Lu Yin, as Yu Mu’s performance had been insufferably arrogant. Thus, Lu Yin wanted to return the favor.

When Wei Rong was informed that Lu Yin had left, he looked up. If Lu Yin was about to return that cosmic ring to Yu Mu, then what about the one that Wei Rong had received? He did not want to rely on Lu Yin’s strength for such a matter even if he had become Lu Yin’s subordinate.

More and more of the Outerverse learned that Lu Yin had left Zenyu Star.

A few days later, Lu Yin was no longer very far from Yu Mu’s planet.

Elder Lohar contacted Lu Yin. “Alliance Leader, you’ve already united half of the Outerverse, and nobody can compare to your status. There’s no need to offend Shamrock Enterprises just because of a small misunderstanding in the past. Shamrock Enterprises is not simple.”

Lu Yin answered in a serious manner, “Elder, there’s no need to say anything more. I know how massive Shamrock Enterprises is, and even the Hall of Honor won’t readily offend them. Still, there are some things that cannot be washed away by a few simple words. Elder, rest assured, I won’t go overboard.”

Elder Lohar understood Lu Yin, and the youth’s fiery gaze told the elder that he would not be able to stop Lu Yin. Also, Lu Yin was unlikely to be intimidated even if Shamrock Enterprises’ full strength was revealed. Lu Yin was not even afraid of powers like the Daynight clan or the Sword Sect, so he would be even less afraid of Shamrock Enterprises.

Ever since Lu Yin had first started cultivating, he had offended far too many people, and his natural talent could almost be considered a sin alone. But so what? This was cultivation, and this was moving forward.

To proceed along the path of cultivation, Lu Yin had to pass through multiple obstacles, and he had eventually emerged dominant after all of his hard work. This included finding a backer to protect him, as Lu Yin had done so through his own efforts; it had not been gifted or given to him by the grace of others.

If Lu Yin did not dare to offend even an Outerverse Chairman of Shamrock Enterprises, then how could he talk about going up against the Daynight clan or those proud children of the Neoverse? In front of those people, someone like Yu Mu was just another random passerby, even if the man did have an impressive power level.

Some days later, as a large green planet appeared in front of Lu Yin, the collapsible spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and firmly slammed into the ground.

There was a deafening rumble that caused the planet’s defending troops to fly into a rage. This planet was Shamrock Enterprises’ Outerverse headquarters. Normally, nobody would dare to show such disrespect, as evidenced by the fact that the company could not even be bothered to seal the planet off from the surrounding space.

Anyone who dared to visit this planet would be well-behaved, and they would announce their visit in advance. Just now, someone had recklessly charged in, and they were simply asking for it.

Lu Yin stored his collapsible spacecraft away and rose into the air with En Ya by his side. As he walked forth, he unleashed his domain without any restraint. The planet’s security troops were also from Shamrock Enterprises, and some of them were even Hunters. The moment they sensed Lu Yin’s domain, they knew that this person was not simple despite the detectors only showing the power level of a Cruiser.

“Intruder, state your identity,” a Hunter from the defensive troops ordered.

Lu Yin looked up, and his voice spread across the entire planet. “Chief Yu, is this how Shamrock Enterprises treats its guests when old friends arrive?”

The planetary defensive troops were all left speechless. This person had come looking for Chief Yu? This Cruiser was definitely not someone simple. Wait, why did he look so familiar?“

“You’re Lu Yin?” the Hunter cried out.

Lu Yin simply ignored the person and continued to look towards the west.

A boundless amount of rune lines drew near, and Yu Mu descended soon after. He waved a hand, dismissing the troops.

“So it’s Alliance Leader Lu. What brings you here, allowing my Shamrock Enterprises to enjoy your presence?” Yu Mu looked perfectly calm as he spoke.

Lu Yin smiled. “It’s nothing much. However, the Outerverse often suffers from outsiders trying to invade, and as the Allied Forces’ Commander, I would like to make some advanced preparations. Shamrock Enterprises had refused to obey the compulsory requisition orders, and I was wondering if Chief Yu had an explanation for this matter.”

Yu Mu remained unperturbed. “Every year, Shamrock Enterprises sends countless medications to the various border warfronts, and we do not need to answer your requisition orders.”

“Chief Yu does not seem to understand me. I said that these were compulsory orders.” Lu Yin’s voice took on a rather sullen tone and sounded rather unfriendly.

Yu Mu’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Yin. “Alliance Leader Lu, I respect that you have attained such impressive accomplishments at your young age, so I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear your words just now. My Shamrock Enterprises is not some power from an Outerverse weave, and you should consider your next words very carefully.”

Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. “It seems like Chief Yu is threatening me and trying to intimidate the Allied Forces’ Commander. Are you betraying the Allied Forces?”

Yu Mu bellowed, “Lu Yin, you’re going overboard! Not even the Hall of Honor’s Elder Daggs or the others dare to speak to me in such a tone!”

Lu Yin coldly replied, “Threatening the Allied Forces’ Commander means betraying the Allied Forces. Chief Yu, I respect the fact that you are my senior, so I’ll give you an opportunity to take your words back, and I won’t bicker about things.”

Quite a few people in the Outerverse had actually arrived at this planet in advance, and they were all watching from a distance. They had assumed that these two would exchange some hypocritical words or at least probe each other a little bit. No one had ever expected that, after a few sentences, a conflict would already start breaking out. It seemed that this disagreement would not be resolved easily.

Quite a few people looked quite excited. These were media members, and they always hoped to catch sensational news, the bigger the better. It would be best if the Great Eastern Alliance declared an all-out war against Shamrock Enterprises.

But there were some people even more excited than the media members—the members of the western weaves’ various great powers. The prospect of a fight between the Great Eastern Alliance and Shamrock Enterprises excited them even more, as they considered Shamrock Enterprises to be their ally.
