Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

The entire Lu family manor was instantly illuminated.

The core high-ranking officials who are in seclusion, away from home, or currently on missions,

They were all forcibly summoned.

Inside the magnificent council hall,

One holographic projection after another lit up.

Some people looked sleepy, while others had ashen faces.

"What's going on? Who sounded the dragon's roar alarm?"

"Are you crazy?! Do you even know what this means?!"

The projection of Fifth Elder Lu Chengde slammed his fist on the table and roared.

He saw Lu Zhenbang, whose face was deathly pale, sitting in the main seat.

He demanded sharply, "Zhenbang, is that you? What exactly happened?!"

Lu Zhenbang's lips moved.

But he couldn't utter a single word.

The hall immediately descended into chaos.

Several pro-war elders believed there was an external enemy attack.

They even clamored to mobilize the Lu family's private mecha squadron.

Just then, an aura enveloped the entire hall.

Aged, majestic.

All the noise came to an abrupt halt.

The head of the hall,

On that grand master's chair, which symbolized the highest power in the Lu family,

A phantom figure slowly materialized.

An elderly man with white hair and beard,

Wearing a simple linen robe,

Eyes closed.

It seemed as if it had become one with heaven and earth.

"Great...Great-Grandpa!"

"Ancestor! Why have you emerged from seclusion?!"

All senior members of the Lu family,

Including Lu Zhenbang,

They all stood up in shock.

He bowed respectfully.

Lu Zhiyuan.

The previous head of the Lu family,

Twenty years of seclusion

The Lu family's true pillar of strength!

Lu Zhiyuan ignored the crowd.

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

There was no cloudiness in his eyes.

Only deathly silence.

His gaze swept over Lu Beiyuan,

Ultimately, the blame fell on Lu Zhenbang.

"Zhenbang."

Lu Zhenbang stood up and bowed slightly.

"grandfather."

"Tell me the whole story."

Lu Zhenbang was under immense pressure.

The content reported by Lu Beiyuan

He repeated it word for word.

When he mentioned that Lu Beichen had been detained at a garbage dump,

Several suppressed sneers echoed in the hall.

When he mentioned "SSS-level highest warning",

Those few cold laughs vanished instantly.

It turned into a gasp of shock.

When he mentioned "extremely dangerous federal targets,"

Some of the elders started to tremble.

When the three characters "Shen Hongyuan" were pronounced,

Several elders jumped up from their chairs.

Lu Zhiyuan opened his eyes.

Lu Zhiyuan's eyes remained closed.

They opened their eyes.

There was no anger in those old eyes.

Pure coldness.

"OK."

He nodded.

"I secluded myself for twenty years, and this is the kind of person the Lu family has produced."

"Hacking into someone else's security system on their own turf."

Do you know what kind of place that is?

No one dared to speak.

Lu Zhiyuan slowly stood up from the armchair.

He scanned the room, his voice not loud.

"And you lot, a bunch of idiots!"

"Deploying the army? Do they want the Lu family to die even faster?!"

The elders whose expressions changed drastically

His body shook even more violently.

"It seems that some people still remember."

Lu Zhiyuan's voice echoed softly.

It tells a bloody history that is worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Federation.

Thirty years ago, four seventh-tier beast kings joined forces.

Leading a massive tide of beasts, from south to north,

They swept through the enemy lines and reached the capital.

"The entire four military regions were decimated."

Platinum and diamond elites fell like rain.

"Those three beasts wreaked havoc for a full seven months."

Wherever it passed, military fortresses and top-tier sects were reduced to scorched earth.

"But... there is only one place."

They never stepped inside from beginning to end.

He paused.

His gaze became incredibly profound.

"Jiangcheng. Xinghuo Waste Treatment Plant."

The entire hall was deathly silent.

Everyone held their breath.

A three-headed, seventh-tier beast king!

That's something powerful enough to destroy an entire region!

They... dared not step into a scrap yard?

A young family member couldn't help but speak up.

His voice was trembling:

"Grandpa... a seventh-tier beast king, that's comparable to an eighth-tier or even near-ninth-tier human... and he's just a junk collector..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Zhiyuan raised his cane.

Point at the holographic projection from a distance.

In a secret chamber a thousand miles away,

The member's sternum collapsed instantly.

He fainted before he could even scream.

A few seconds later,

His holographic projection flickered twice.

It was completely extinguished.

The entire audience was horrified!

The power of our ancestors was terrifying!

"ignorance!"

Lu Zhiyuan let out a cold laugh.

It is filled with sorrow for future generations.

"You are not qualified to know who he is."

"I'll just remind you of one thing: back then, the person in the capital personally ordered that his file be listed as a top taboo."

"You're not daring to offend the God of Nature."

"You yourselves have handed the knife to the King of Hell, begging him to execute your entire Lu family!"

"Thump!"

One of the senior executives suddenly felt his legs go weak.

He collapsed to the ground.

Everyone present,

One by one,

They were all ashen-faced.

My clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

They finally understood.

SSS-class [Federal Extremely Dangerous Target]

Behind these seven words,

Just what kind of terrifying existence is this!

"Bei Chen, from today onwards, you are stripped of your right to be an heir."

"Grandpa!" Lu Zhenbang suddenly stood up.

"Could someone with the mind of an heir really do something as simple as stealing from the gates of the King of Hell?"

"Keep him alive? Keep him alive to drag the entire Lu family into their coffins?"

Lu Zhenbang opened his mouth,

He didn't dare to say another word.

Lu Zhiyuan stopped looking at them.

Instead, they turned their attention to Lu Beiyuan.

"Northern Abyss".

"Grandpa, I'm here." Lu Beiyuan's voice was extremely hoarse.

"Immediately go to the No. 1 Treasure Vault to retrieve the [Starry Sky Meteorite], along with three sets of [Seventh Generation Source Energy Matrix Cores]."

Upon hearing this, even Lu Zhenbang looked up in shock.

Meteorite from the Starry Sky!

That is a priceless treasure for forging the main keel of S-class or higher mechs!

The entire Lu family,

I only saved two pieces!

Plus the energy matrix core!

Total value: Over eight billion federal dollars!

"Grandpa! You mustn't!"

"Our ancestor, please reconsider!"

Lu Beiyuan's heart ached terribly.

"Grandpa, that's the Sky Dome Project..."

"If a project is lost, it can be started again."

Lu Zhiyuan's voice was devoid of any warmth.

"If the Lu family is gone, they're truly gone."

"The treasure in the vault was originally intended to prolong the life of the Lu family, and now it should be used to prolong that life here."

Lu Beiyuan remained silent.

"Go yourself, find an unarmed civilian small aircraft, and fly to Jiangcheng overnight."

"Do not bring any guards."

"Once we arrive, present the complete list of supplies with both hands."

"If Mr. Shen accepts it, the Lu family will still have a way to survive."

"If...Mr. Shen is not satisfied..."

Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes.

"You should break all four of that beast Beichen's limbs on the spot."

"From now on, whether he lives or dies is no longer any concern of the Lu family."

The holographic conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Lu Beiyuan's body froze on the spot.

My mind went completely blank.

After a long while, he deeply...

He bent over deeply.

"...Great-grandson, obey the order."
