After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

The raging thunder and torrential rain created an unusually noisy cacophony in the receiver.

It didn't feel like being in a bedroom at all, with the sounds of thunder and rain blocked out.

more like...

In the midst of a storm!

"Fuyumi-senpai? Fuyumi-senpai!"

"Where are you? Answer me!"

Lu Xuanyu sat up in bed and said in a serious tone.

"..."

"Boss, could... could you please come over here?"

"Right here at your house..."

"My phone is about to die..."

On the phone came Fuyumi Mizuhara's trembling voice.

Lu Xuanyu was no longer in the mood for jokes.

You can tell what Fuyumi Mizuhara is feeling from her voice.

It must be extreme fear and dread!

Is someone this old really afraid of the dark? Or afraid of thunder?

Is he really that timid?

"Wait for me there, don't go anywhere else."

"I'll be there soon, you hear me?"

Lu Xuanyu had no time to think further.

He spoke to Fuyumi Mizuhara in a commanding tone.

"Okay, BOSS... please hurry..."

Mizuhara Fuyumi's demeanor seemed to suggest that she wanted to urge Lu Xuanyu on, but dared not say anything too strong.

……

After hanging up the phone.

Lu Xuanyu immediately contacted his personal driver within the committee.

Fortunately, it's not late at night, so dispatching a vehicle to him shouldn't be too difficult.

Otherwise, using one's off-campus connections to repeatedly arrange private cars to pick him up would be even more troublesome.

After getting into the car, the driver learned the destination and chatted with Lu Xuanyu.

"Mr. Xuan Yu, is it urgent that you need to go to the North District so late?"

"I just saw the news report; the heavy rain has caused a major power outage in the Shibei District."

"The entire Shibei District is currently without power. Due to the heavy rain, it may take three to four hours to restore power."

"Moreover, I heard that the Shibei District received the most rainfall this time, and in some places the water level has reached above the knees."

"If Mr. Xuanyu has something else to do, perhaps we should consider rescheduling?"

The driver's words instantly made Lu Xuanyu understand what was going on.

Power outage in the northern part of the city!

It seems that Fuyumi Mizuhara might not be afraid of thunder and rain.

Instead, they are afraid of being alone in a dark, enclosed space!

That's what put her in such a terrifying predicament.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xuanyu's responsibility.

It was he who suggested that Fuyumi Mizuhara stay there first tonight.

"It must be done today."

"Excuse me, driver."

"Drive as fast as you can, within safe limits."

"The things I need to do are very urgent!"

Lu Xuanyu said with certainty.

……

A long time passed.

The entrance to Lu Xuanyu's luxurious villa.

Thunder and rain raged, and dark clouds gathered overhead.

The occasional flashes of lightning illuminated the shapes of the dark clouds, resembling thunder and raging beasts.

in the dark.

Fuyumi Mizuhara's petite frame trembled in the wind and rain as she gripped her umbrella tightly.

If you're not careful, even your umbrella might be blown away by the strong wind.

However, in a storm with strong winds, how can an umbrella possibly keep out the flying rain?

Fuyumi Mizuhara was soaked to the bone, water droplets running down her hair and onto her cheeks.

She took out her phone again and pressed the power button.

The phone screen only lit up for a few seconds before quickly shutting down.

The terrain and layout of villas and luxury homes are indeed different from ordinary residential areas.

Even with such a large amount of rainfall, the high altitude and rapid water dissipation of the terrain allow for better drainage.

No water was left inside the house, ensuring its safety and stability even in extreme weather.

Just stepping out of the villa area's gate, it's like entering another world.

The slope leading down the steps was flooded, and water had spread throughout the entire block.

Fuyumi Mizuhara went outside to test the water depth; it wasn't up to her knees, but it was about the right depth.

She wanted to go somewhere else, but she couldn't; she seemed trapped.

This is the highest point in the neighborhood, and if the water is this deep here, you can imagine how deep it is in other parts of the neighborhood.

Mizuhara Fuyumi wanted to turn on her phone to tell Lu Xuanyu not to come over.

In this situation, cars simply cannot get through from outside.

Walking is even more impractical...

"Shh!"

Mizuhara Fuyumi, who was standing by the roadside, was suddenly struck by a beam of light.

The light was so bright and dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes. She instinctively covered her face with her hand and took a step back.

"Stand there and don't move!"

"The water around us is too deep!"

The familiar voice brought a lump to Mizuhara Fuyumi's throat.

"Lord Xuanyu... Lord Xuanyu!"

Even the usually composed Fuyumi Mizuhara couldn't help but call out Lu Xuanyu's name in this situation.

It feels like a dream!

How can it be?

Is he superman?

How did he get through the flooded streets?

Am I really not dreaming?

Fuyumi Mizuhara even pinched her cheek.

soon.

The approaching beam of light confirmed her suspicions.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."
