Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 115 Heroes Are Always Forgotten
"You cried, why?"

A look of confusion appeared on Qiaoqiao's little face.

"You're the one who stole my things, why are you so sad?"

"Give him to me, just this once, okay... just this once..." Song Qiongyao looked at Qiaoqiao, her gaze lingering on her healthy body, a genuine envy in her eyes.

"Why?" Cheng Qiaoqiao was even more confused: "You already have so many!"

"Qiaoqiao, you wouldn't understand."

Song Qiongyao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Cheng Qiaoqiao.

"Qiaoqiao, this time is different. Give him to me, and I will help you with anything in the future, just this once."

"No!" Struggling to break free, Cheng Qiaoqiao slowly backed away, solemnly repeating once more, "That's mine!"

She slowly walked past and down the steps.

"Qiaoqiao..." Although she heard Song Qiongyao calling her, she did not respond this time.

The lazy afternoon sunlight on the third-floor balcony of the building shines on the potted flowers and plants.

The boy sat on a wooden bench.

The banquet below was still very lively, with people gathering in twos and threes, talking quietly. The lively atmosphere could also be felt on the third floor.

Su Yu was dozing off absentmindedly, her eyes half-open and half-closed.

His youthful appearance seemed at ease in the sunlight.

Footsteps came from the open foyer behind me.

"So you were here." With a hint of displeasure, she said, "You really know how to find a place."

The man who arrived appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black suit and tie, with a leather belt around his waist, giving off an air of sophistication that made it clear at a glance that he was a professional.

Standing on the stone railing at the edge of the balcony, looking down, Attorney Zhang's gray pupils reflected the bustling scene below.

"How do you think about it?"

"I haven't thought it through yet," Su Yu replied.

"Hmph, young people are just young people."

Seemingly getting a little impatient, the man turned his back to the crowd below. After a while, he spoke again: "Fine, there's no point in arguing with you, so I'll just say a few more words to you."

"The city hall is preparing for a joint lawsuit."

"However, of the 41 sailors, 37 have already signed the papers. The compensation of 100 gold sea dragons is not small, and most families are satisfied. After all, everyone needs to make a living and is afraid of trouble, especially trouble caused by influential people."

"The remaining four are insignificant and won't amount to major casualties."

"Furthermore, we have people in the county council, the courts, and the sheriff's office."

"If we compromise now, we can still get some compensation. But if we don't... there will be no benefit at all, and we'll only end up offending someone important!"

He turned around and looked down at Su Yu.

"Don't think that just because you helped the Song family, you can rest easy."

"Hero? People who deserve that title never die a good death! Only children like that!"

"If you read history, you'll see that I'm absolutely right."

Yes, Su Yu knows this without needing to read history, but even if I compromise, your master might not let it go easily!

Despite the hint, Su Yu remained unmoved and even wanted to laugh.

"You've twisted the truth of things so clearly. Do you have even a shred of conscience left?"

Su Yu deliberately acted like an angry teenager, glaring at the middle-aged lawyer in front of him.

"Aren't you a lawyer? Where is your oath of justice? Where is your conscience? Where is the law? Have they all been eaten by dogs?"

Touching his collar and pulling out a white napkin, Attorney Zhang actually smiled and wiped the spittle off his face.

"Is that so? ...So that's your answer?"

"You are so young."

"I hope you can continue to maintain this original aspiration in the future!"

He gently patted Su Yu's shoulder, leaned close to Su Yu's ear, and lowered his voice: "I might as well tell you a secret... a secret that many people below know."

"If you don't agree, it's because I didn't do my job well, and the boss will scold me, but at the same time I'm also happy, even if I fail!"

"What?" Su Yu frowned as he listened.

"Listen! Kid, you've ruined my plans... Four thousand golden sea dragons! My entire life savings, all gone!" "Not just me, many others invested in the Earl's fleet, and now it's all gone."

"You deserve to die!"

Do you know how many people hate you?

Many will thank you, but they will soon forget your contributions; few will hate you, but their hatred will be etched into their hearts.

"What will happen to you then?"

"Why do heroes die? It's because those who receive favors quickly forget their achievements, while those who are harmed by heroes will seek revenge even after ten years."

"That's just how human nature is, isn't it?"

After gritting his teeth and saying all this, Attorney Zhang slowly straightened up and looked at Su Yu coldly.

"Thank the laws of the kingdom!"

"Enjoy your dinner, good afternoon, little one!" The man grinned, then sneered.

Su Yu lowered his eyes, seemingly angry, but inwardly he sneered.

"Just as I suspected, they have no chance of letting me go!"

"I died once and was reborn. If I were to believe your nonsense again, wouldn't my rebirth have been in vain?"

Now, all we can do is prepare for war with all our might.

Watching Attorney Zhang leave and seeing guests arriving one after another, Su Yu opened the system. The screen, glowing with a faint light, floated before his eyes, displaying several tasks calmly.

"Self-preservation: pass the tests, join the school, and gain further protection - skipping grade test, level test, membership test."

"The bloodline must not be lost—to kill Su Er with my own hands, if I die at the hands of someone else, is to fail."

"Career Path: Please gather as much career information as possible to deduce and complete your future path (0/100)."

"To join the school, I must skip a grade, meet a professional level, and pass an entrance exam."

"Bloodline...that's even more troublesome!"

Su Yu frowned in thought.

"Could this Su Er be related to my ancestors, which is why we are connected by blood?"

"It can't have been lost... He was killed, could there have been anything he left behind?"

"We need to skip grades, get jobs, and compete for headhunters!"

"I have so many important things happening all at once, and my time is running out!"

Thinking this, Su Yu silently recited in his heart:
"Open the task panel."

A flash of golden light streaked across the sky, followed by a faint white light that gradually approached and transformed into a panel.

"Quite a change!"

"My body has grown a bit, Strength +1"

Su Yu skipped over the professions, paused at the bloodline section, and then looked at the charm—additional +1 to Song Qiongyao.

Is beauty blind?

With a troubled smile, Su Yu looked down.

Astrological lock.

"Astrology? Am I being targeted?"

"What exactly are those stars hanging in the sky?"

Su Yu looked up at the sky.

It was daytime, and ordinary people couldn't see the stars at all, but Su Yu could still feel the wisps of light hanging down like cotton threads... After completing the basic meditation, the whole world was filled with various auras.

"It's definitely not what ordinary people see."
