Chapter 270: Finally Reached War General Level, Infiltrate!

With a faint shift in his aura, the aura in Lu Yu’s entire body instantly rose a notch.
When Lu Yu opened his eyes, his sparkling and alert eyes shone with joy.
“Hahaha! I have finally crossed into the War General realm!”
Lu Yu could sense the health vitality and strength in his body becoming more immense. Subconsciously, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
After having consumed three big chunks of S-class beast meat one after another, Lu Yu’s cultivation finally reached the War General realm!
From this moment on within Flame Country, at Lu Yu’s current cultivation level, unless the opponent was a cultivator at the level of Grade 8 War General and above, no one in the whole Flame Country was Lu Yu’s match!
“Whew. Now I’m more confident about stealing that Hu family’s treasure from the secret vault.”
As Lu Yu spoke, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Time passed quickly and soon it was night. Lu Yu changed into a black nocturnal suit and sneaked out of the house.
Although Lu Yu moved very softly, he still startled Giovanna who had already fallen asleep.
Giovanna stood by the bedroom window watching until Lu Yu’s figure disappeared into the darkness.
“Lu Yu, you have to be careful…”
Lu Yu traveled all the way in the darkness. As he had already reached the War General realm, coupled with his own agility bonus, Lu Yu was like a spirit traversing through the night.
After sneaking all the way, Lu Yu soon arrived outside the Southern Seas Hotel.
Looking at the crowd of guards stationed outside the Southern Seas Hotel, Lu Yu smiled faintly and held his breath.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu’s figure quickly flashed past and he bypassed that group of guards. He darted all the way to the first floor of the Southern Seas Hotel.
After reaching the first floor of the Southern Seas Hotel, Lu Yu did not stop moving. Concurrently in his mind, he quickly recalled the building blueprint showing the internal layout of the Southern Seas Hotel.
Thus, Lu Yu leaped up and climbed up the building exterior of the Southern Seas Hotel.
When Lu Yu had climbed to the third floor of the Southern Seas Hotel’s building exterior, Lu Yu searched for a room whose windows were not closed and made his way into the interior of the Southern Seas Hotel directly through the open window.
After Lu Yu clambered through the window, he saw a pair of partially clothed man and woman cavorting together in bed.
Not surprisingly, the man and woman who were entangled in each other’s arms were startled by Lu Yu’s sudden appearance.
When that woman with her half naked body exposed saw Lu Yu coming through the window, she instinctively tried to scream.
However, Lu Yu’s swift reaction did not give her the opportunity. He shot forward and covered the woman’s mouth immediately.
At the same time, Lu Yu raised his right hand and gave a sharp chop to the back of the man’s head.
With this heavy blow from Lu Yu, the man lost consciousness at once and collapsed on the bed.
After dealing with the man, the masked Lu Yu knocked the woman unconscious as well.
After throwing the man and woman carelessly onto the bed, Lu Yu quickly opened the door to the hallway.
Following the directions indicated on the building blueprint showing the Southern Seas Hotel’s internal layout in his memory, Lu Yu came all the way to a half-hidden room with its door ajar.
Through the door gap, Lu Yu could clearly see the two guards on duty sitting in front of a large screen.
And on that big screen in front of them were the surveillance videos of the whole Southern Seas Hotel.
After Lu Yu confirmed that this was the security surveillance room he was looking for, he darted in.
The two guards on duty were just chatting there and didn’t notice a black shadow sneaking into the room behind them.
“Have you heard? It seems that the higher-ups had not only arranged for half of our brothers to keep watch overnight, but they also transferred the Hu family’s team of bodyguards over here!”
“Of course I’ve heard it. I heard that this time, even the vice captain of the Hu family’s bodyguards team, who is a War General, also followed.”
“The reason for making such a major transfer seems to be related to the auction that will be held tomorrow.”
The two guards simply chatted in this way, completely oblivious to the black shadow at the rear that had sneaked up behind them.
While the two were engrossed in chatting, Lu Yu raised his hands and landed a heavy blow on the back of the necks of the two guards.
Thud! Thud!
Following the sound of two dull thuds, the two guards slumped forward in their seats.
After dealing with the two guards, Lu Yu went up to the control panel. After a flurry of maneuvers, he switched off all the surveillance cameras in the whole hotel.
Looking at the big mass of black monitor screens, Lu Yu nodded his head with satisfaction.
“Without the surveillance cameras, let’s see how you guys protect that item!”
After fixing the problem of the surveillance cameras, Lu Yu simply swaggered out of the security surveillance room and went all the way downstairs.
According to the building blueprint of the Southern Seas Hotel, Lu Yu knew that the secret vault containing that precious treasure belonging to the Hu family took up the entire basement floor of the hotel.
Lu Yu walked into the elevator and rode it to basement level 1.
Ding!
As the elevator came to a stop with a notification ring, the doors of the elevator opened in response and Lu Yu walked out of the elevator slowly.
Once out of the elevator, Lu Yu ran head-on into several members of the Hu family’s team of bodyguards dressed in combat gear standing guard at the elevator door.
Those few members of the Hu family’s bodyguard team looked at Lu Yu, whose entire body was clad in black, and immediately realized that the visitor was up to no good.
“Oh no! Take him down!”
A quick-reacting member of the bodyguard team shouted a warning, and several bodyguards immediately circulated the internal force within their bodies and charged towards Lu Yu in a group attack.
Faced with the group attack of these few guys, Lu Yu simply stood in the same place and did not even dodge.
In the next second, a faint pressure spread out in all directions, suppressing those few guys instantly such that they stood rooted to the same spot.
“A War… War General!”
A member of the bodyguard team who felt the faint pressure exclaimed breathlessly, his eyes wide open in shock.
He couldn’t believe that a powerful expert at the War General level would actually show up here. By the looks of things, this visitor was most likely coming for the secret vault that he and the others were guarding.
Looking at all those bodyguards of the Hu family who were unable to move, Lu Yu smiled faintly and extended his hand.
With a flash of Lu Yu’s figure, those few people lost consciousness completely and fell to the ground.
Having just solved the problem of these few bodyguards of the Hu family, Lu Yu did not even have time to withdraw his body when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
Obviously, the loud shouting of that Hu family’s bodyguard just now had attracted the attention of the other Hu family’s bodyguards guarding this place.
Lu Yu did not have time to think further. He quickly retrieved an A-class long saber from his interspatial ring.
In order not to give himself away, Lu Yu could only give up using the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and had to resort to using this long saber.
However, with Lu Yu’s current realm of a War General, the choice of weapons made no difference to the outcome these Hu family’s bodyguards would eventually face.
Lu Yu had just lifted his A-class long saber when several members of the Hu family’s bodyguard team appeared in front of Lu Yu.
Looking at their companions who had fallen to the ground, one of the leaders instantly gave Lu Yu a death stare.
“How dare you make a move against a member of our Hu family’s bodyguard team.. You must be looking for death!”
