Chapter 109 Poisoning
Anxing is a very mysterious person. When he appeared in the ownerless galaxy, he was already quite influential.
Even Ryusei, the Scarlet Commander, was not clear about his exact origins.
However, this person possesses all the qualities of a tyrant: ruthless, suspicious... He trusts no one, and killing people in dreams is commonplace.
Fusion of A-level gene chains, this level of life transition, no life form can guarantee 100% success.
With Anxing's personality, if he didn't come up with a foolproof plan, he would be unworthy of his reputation.
Li Yu became interested, mainly because the things in the Titan ruins attracted him. However, this would take some time, so he was not in a hurry.
After ordering a suitable suit from the Terran Chamber of Commerce, Li Yu dressed up carefully, combed his hair into a handsome look, and put on a handsome black suit.
Li Yu gradually became satisfied with the one-to-one mirror projection in front of him. After coming to this world, he did not dress up most of the time, but he did not expect to be so beautiful.
He twisted the tie around his neck, looking quite cool and handsome.
The hunter watched in the corner with a sigh on his face, his eyes full of his own youth. Liping had a look of admiration on his face... like a pervert.
Mo Duo glanced over a few times, accidentally made eye contact with Li Yu, then quickly looked away and continued counting stars, but a blush unconsciously appeared on his face.
"You're dressed up nicely, are you planning to pick up girls..." The hunter couldn't help but feel a little sad. Calculating the time, it has been a long time since he last had contact with female creatures.
Although it can be a reward for yourself, it still doesn't feel right.
"Don't slander me!" Li Yu stared at him coldly: "I received news that there is a very important party today. It may be a matter of great importance. I have to go and find out the news."
Mo Duo, who had pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that someone was going to do something.
"I'm not far from you. Who are you yelling to?" The hunter was extremely dissatisfied with the sour smell in the air.
Murdo glanced at him...making the hunter shudder for no apparent reason.
He touched the "invitation ticket" in his arms. Although his true face was very handsome, he could not use it. He pinched out a face that he had never used before and left the spaceship.
Fortunately, the "invitation ticket" is anonymous, and anyone can go with it.
The top floor of the Terran Chamber of Commerce seemed to have been privately contracted. A sturdy four-armed Titan was patrolling everywhere, staring at everyone with fierce eyes .
If it was an ordinary slave, it would be fine and not worth such strict guarding, but this is a mermaid.
As the most famous... and most representative slaves in the slave trade, mermaids have long surpassed their rightful interstellar status.
Coming out of the special elevator, Li Yu was surrounded in a corner by two four-armed Titans.
"Invitation ticket..." they said in a muffled voice, two heads taller than Li Yu.
"Here..." Li Yu took out the carefully placed pink invitation ticket from his arms.
The two four-armed Titans took it and just glanced at it without examining it too carefully. Then they took out a black hole account number and said, "Pay the entrance fee - one million star coins."
"What?" Li Yu was a little surprised. No wonder the invitation ticket was anonymous and it was the same for everyone who came. It turned out that they still had to pay an admission fee.
"Haha..." A loud laugh came from the side: "Brother, this is your first time attending the Bauhaus appreciation meeting..."
An interstellar human with a gray-black cane took off his hat, revealing a head of silver-white hair that was very eye-catching: "Bauhaus appreciation meetings are always like this. We all say that he is obsessed with money."
"But, it's because he got something really strange..."
The man waved his hand and turned around without blinking: "Little brother, since you are here... that is a mermaid... don't you want to take a look?"
Li Yu glanced at him and said in embarrassment: "I don't have enough money..."
"How many do you have?" he inquired.
"Only five hundred thousand..."
"I'll pay for the other half..." The man said generously: "It's fate that we met..."
The two walked into the lobby side by side. There were quite a few people in the lobby, from all kinds of interstellar races, and most of them were dressed appropriately.
The hall is huge and magnificent, with chandeliers emitting dreamy light. There are a lot of people there, and no matter whether they are ruthless bosses in other places, they are all polite here.
A large number of [Enver people] were interspersed among them, holding cups of unknown drinks.
The man next to him picked up two cups of slightly purple liquid and handed one to Li Yu: "Try it?"
Li Yu took it, but did not drink it immediately. He just looked around and did not find any trace of mermaid.
"It hasn't started yet, don't be so impatient..." He couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Bauhaus, you're a little late today..." A [Sheep Man] walked out of the crowd holding a dark blue wine glass, and his target was the guy next to Li Yu.
"Haha...Lant...something happened on the road and delayed me..." Bauhaus raised his glass and clinked it with the other party.
At the same time, he glanced at Li Yu vaguely, but unfortunately he did not see any expression of horror on the other's face, which made him a little disappointed.
"Do you know me?" Bauhaus asked with some confusion. He knew he was at the door but didn't try to fend for himself. He thought it was a rare occasion to meet a little guy who didn't know him.
Li Yu was somewhat speechless. What kind of boring person was this? He came here just to show off to him. He pondered for a moment and said, "When those four-armed Titans saw you, their expressions changed slightly, and their movements were a little restrained, which means they are familiar with you."
"When you walked in here, your attitude was casual and your eyes were indifferent. You didn't look like a guest, but more like a host."
Bauhaus's expression gradually changed, staring at Li Yu who was talking.
"More importantly... I checked the information about the appreciation meeting... so..."
Before he came, he had visited the Black Hole Network to learn about this so-called appreciation meeting and knew who the owner was.
Bauhaus was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Humorous little guy..."
Bauhaus is the local boss of [Borderless Land]. His life has gone through three periods of existence in the ownerless galaxy, which is quite legendary.
[Dark Star] is the third one. He is not a predator and often calls himself a businessman. However, on the Black Hole Network, some people call him Black Hand - Bauhaus.
Now, this kind-looking old man is the tycoon who controls half of the slave trade in the ownerless galaxy, and his tentacles even extend into some small civilizations nearby.
When he saw Bauhaus at the door, he was quite surprised. In order to get Li Yu to pay the admission fee, he even put on a show. As he said - he was obsessed with money.
"Who is this..." Lant looked at Li Yu with some confusion. He came in with Bauhaus, so his identity should not be simple.
"A little brother I met at the door." Bauhaus's simple introduction did not say much.
It also made Lant realize that this guy... didn't seem to have any special identity.
Suddenly, his enthusiasm diminished, and afterwards he seemed to not see Li Yu anymore, and was only talking to Bauhaus.
Li Yu was also happy and quiet. Most people were surrounding Bauhaus. He was like an old grandfather next door, smiling warmly and greeting people appropriately.
Many people come here hoping to connect with Bauhaus, even if it means paying the hefty entrance fee.
Li Yu sighed a little. With the number of people in the hall, Bauhaus earned hundreds of millions of star coins just by entering the hall. It was nothing more than making money out of nothing.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight shone on Bauhaus. He raised his glass and said with a kind smile: "First of all, thank you all for coming here..."
Everyone raised their glasses together. The different colored liquids went down their throats, bringing completely different feelings. Bauhaus put down his glass, and the smile on his face became even more intense:
"...It's been a long time since I tasted such a flavorful poison, sour, bitter... and spicy... quite interesting..."
Bauhaus tasted in the mouth as if it were a delicacy rather than poison.
The faces of everyone present changed slightly, although it was difficult to see because of the peculiar facial features of some interstellar races.
"...long-lost excitement..." Bauhaus sighed, and teams of majestic four-armed Titans came out from every corner and blocked the entrance.
Li Yu's face changed slightly. He glanced at the wine in his hand and calmly placed it on the table next to him.
Damn... Luckily I was cautious. I just wanted to see a mermaid. What's wrong with that?
Bauhaus naturally noticed Li Yu's actions and his expression looked a little strange.
"...You seem to know me...You know that I like to drink wine made from blood orange and purple grapes..."
Bauhaus didn't know who he was talking to. He paced in the hall, but no one dared to say anything. No one knew whether Bauhaus was having a fit or someone really wanted to poison him.
"Is there anyone willing to admit that this is not a good idea to disturb everyone's fun?" Bauhaus said loudly.
Everyone looked at each other and distanced themselves from each other. A [Mandala Tree Man] was sweating all over and couldn't stand the tense atmosphere. He hurriedly picked up a glass of wine from the table and drank it.
Li Yu immediately moved back... and stared at the tree man.
The tree man put down his wine glass, took a breath, and suddenly his expression changed.
The skin bulged and turned blue-black, with black lines covering the entire face. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Seeing this, others retreated in horror.
He froze in place for a few seconds, then green liquid spurted out of his body, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.
"Look...someone really poisoned me..." Bauhaus spread his hands and said helplessly.
Now, no one dared to hold the wine glass. Bauhaus called the bodyguards and began to investigate the surveillance to find the [Enver man] who was holding the wine.
Bang!
He was pressed against the wall by the four-armed Titan, trembling all over, his face full of fear.
"You just happened to walk in front of me when I came in, and you just happened to bring me the wine I like to drink?" Bauhaus walked up to the man and said with some embarrassment: "You said it had nothing to do with you, but I really find it hard to believe."
"Mr. Bauhaus...it really wasn't me...there was a woman who bumped into me before..." The [Enver man] explained hurriedly.
"Oh..." Bauhaus asked someone to bring the surveillance video, and time continued to move forward, and the woman was indeed found.
She knocked the wine tray away, bowed repeatedly, took two more glasses of wine from the table, and pointed in the direction of Bauhaus when Bauhaus came in.
"The truth seems to have come to light..." Bauhaus smiled.
