Chinese dabblers were truly scary. At that moment, Lu Shu had a true experience of this saying.

In recent years, Chinese tattoos were a hit among many foreigners. But most of them would need to have their tattoos covered during a China trip due to the embarrassing connotations associated with the characters.

Lu Shu pushed Coral back to the city in her wheelchair. They were heading north, since Coral desired so.

But they could no longer take the light rail because there were so many eyes on them at the moment. You Mingyu had already informed Lu Shu that the Danke had their men deployed in the northern parts of Sardinia, which housed many ports. Coral must go through there before she could return to Sweden in secret.

Meanwhile, Cartel and other large organizations, including the Danke, had made peace in the north. People had now recognized that Cartel was a neutral party. You could do anything in their territory so long as you did not mess up their concerts or piss them off in other ways.

Many organizations had even warned their members not to mess with Cartel, because they would not stand a chance at winning.

According to public information, Cartel’s leader, Arturo, was a Class B. But news had it that he defeated Patrick way too easily, which made his true level of abilities a mystery,

Some people felt that Cartel was not serious about its cultivation, but for some reason, their average abilities were rather exceptional…

This was an annoying fact.

This time, Lu Shu and Coral’s destination was the northern city Olbia.

Lu Shu could feel there was a countdown ticking by over his head, urging him to live his life to the fullest while he was still able to. Hence, he was in a hurry to bring Coral to the church.

“Actually, we can just stay here, Lu Shu,” Coral whispered, sitting on her wheelchair, “The north is even more dangerous, and I am immobilized. In fact, I wasn’t being serious when I mentioned the church. I’m fine with us staying in Oristano.”

Coral knew that she did not have much time left, and the trip to the north was nothing but a willful wish of hers. Dragging Lu Shu along would only be a waste of his time.

Lu Shu shook his head. “We are going if you want to go.”

As people get older, they gradually learn that time is not a cure for everything. We will eventually have to make peace with our scars, but they will always stay with us until death.

Lu Shu did not want Coral to have any regrets, which he would have to carry too in the future.

Coral looked hesitant. Lu Shu said, “Don’t worry so much about your injury, nor the dangers ahead of us. There’s this sentence that has kept me afloat in all kinds of plight, and it says every ending is a good ending; if it isn’t, it means it’s not the ending yet.”

Coral smiled. This was the boy she fell for.

At this moment, they heard a roar of engines from in front. Lu Shu stopped walking, and the Sparrow Shade swooshed out of his celestial map, circling Coral for protection.

But he was stunned in the next second. It was the civilians, including the ice-cream vendor, the suckling pig seller, and…

“Ah, we happened to walk past here. Where do you want to go? We can send you there,” the ice-cream vendor, from whom Lu Shu had taken away many cones with his cheekiness, said, as if their encounter was really a coincidence.

Now, Lu Shu had already learned that the Sardinians had gone out of their way to hide their whereabouts. Admittedly, he felt touched, because even the commoners were willing to stand in the way of large organizations just for the two of them and for the justice they represented.

Even their quiet stroll seemed admirable and adorable to Lu Shu. In the past, he always thought that commoners in foreign countries must be living a hard life, but reality showed him that nothing was absolute.

Maybe that was the case for civilians under the control of the Danke and the Department of Faith Theory, but there were other organizations of justice, like the Cartel.

Lu Shu firmly believed that it was Cartel’s participation and encouragement that motivated this civilian movement.

Actually, unlike what most large organizations believed, Cartel’s members were not restricted to Metahumans. Most of the ordinary residents on the island were their members too.

It was an organization where commoners and Metahumans co-existed exceptionally harmoniously.

“It’s okay. We are going to somewhere far away. Olbia,” Lu Shu told them the truth with a smile.

“Ah, what a coincidence! We are heading to Olbia too… Why are we going there again?” the ice-cream vendor asked the lady beside him.

“Concert!” the lady replied, “We are going to attend a concert! Come on! Let’s go together!”

Coral raised her head to look at Lu Shu. Her smile was as warm as the sunlight. “Sure. Thank you everyone for sending us there.”

…

The cruise ship ‘Vikings’ was about to reach the Strait of Gibraltar, which was situated between the borders of Spain and Morocco. The ship continued to travel northward against the sea wind. Its destination was Holland.

Meanwhile, the entire intelligence center of the Heavenly Network had their attention concentrated on Sardinia. Numerous people were waiting for the reappearance of Lu Shu and Coral, who would provide them with further assistance.

It was no exaggeration to claim that the whole Network’s European intelligence network operated for Lu Shu alone. The agents were willing to sacrifice themselves for him, but the latter had refused their favors.

To Lu Shu, this was like the age-old painful question. A railway forked into two paths. There were ten people standing on one path, and one person on the other. So, who would you let your train hit? With the control stick in your hand, how would you choose?

In Lu Shu’s situation, he was standing on one of the railways, and his intelligence comrades on the other. He would destroy that hellish train with his fist!

Of course, the Vikings was notified of the update.

On board the Vikings, Chen Zuan was overwhelmed in admiration and envy. “So, Brother Shu was our leader, and he abandoned us to elope with that European girl?”

It was a logical deduction because Lu Shu would not have been there if he were not their leader. Besides, the leader’s identity had always been kept secret and the only piece of information made known to the team was that the person was an acquaintance of theirs.

In the meantime, Chen Zuan had just gone through a heartbreaking period of breaking up with Du Xuemei after being together for one sweet week. At the moment, the entire cruise ship was overflowing with the resentments of bachelors towards Lu Shu and his little girlfriend.

As for Chen Zuan’s breakup, Cheng Qiuqiao quipped that Du Xuemei was a smart girl as she had learned Zuan’s true nature in seven days and made a wise decision to break up…
