Sitting in the living room, Lu Zhiyu leisurely brewed a cup of coffee and looked out of the window. His expression was comfortable and relaxed. To Lu Zhiyu, the world of Earth had become unfamiliar. It was as if he was not a human being on Earth, but a native of Maria.
Lu Zhiyu had spent more than a decade in Maria's World, but only a few days had passed in the outside world. It had not changed at all since he had left.
If I count carefully, I am actually close to 50 years old. A normal human being would have entered their old age from middle age.
This time, Lu Zhiyu's mentality had changed greatly. Compared to before, he no longer felt tense. Instead, he felt relaxed and natural. When one was no longer bound by material things, money, lifespan, and even social status, one had to find a new goal in life. Lu Zhiyu wanted to live a carefree life and do some of the things that were related to his interests and hobbies.
He did not have to do anything that went against his conscience. He did not have to do anything that he did not like. Instead, he maintained a calm heart and lived for himself. He did not have to worry about anything, as he had enough lifespan and time to accomplish what he wanted to do.
Suddenly, Lu Zhiyu's phone rang, interrupting his peaceful morning tea time. Lu Zhiyu immediately saw that his phone, which he had placed on the TV table, was ringing. Lu Zhiyu gently reached out his hand, and the phone came to him.
Lu Zhiyu was about to speak, but he paused. After a while, he found the ability to speak English. "Hello, who is this?"
A middle-aged man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. He sounded very polite. "Hello, is this Mr. Anthony? I am Charlie Andrew. Do you remember the invitation I sent you last time? "
Lu Zhiyu searched his memory for more than ten years and immediately remembered that when he had attended a banquet, this man named Charlie Andrew had invited him to join a secret church called the Vatican Church. Lu Zhiyu had heard that it was related to the legendary Blood Kindred. Lu Zhiyu had been very interested, so he had accepted the invitation.
"Oh! Of course, you said that I would be able to see a different side of this world. I am very curious! "Lu Zhiyu immediately followed Charlie Andrew's words as soon as he remembered it.
Charlie Andrew's words were very mysterious. "Very well. If you're interested, a car will pick you up in about ten minutes. But I hope you can keep the rest of your journey a secret."
"No problem. I'm looking forward to what will happen next."
Lu Zhiyu's interest was piqued, as he finished the coffee in one gulp. As soon as he got up, his body disappeared into a cloud of fluorescent light. With a flicker, he reappeared in the walk-in closet upstairs. After changing into a set of clothes, he immediately reappeared at the door.
After a while, he saw a Bentley stop in front of him. A man dressed like a special agent walked out of the car. He looked at Lu Zhiyu and immediately opened the back door.
"Mr. Anthony? I was sent by Mr. Charlie to pick you up. Please follow me to the car. The boss is waiting for you at the destination. " This bodyguard was like a robot. His build was the same as the governor's. He looked like Charlie's bodyguard and driver.
Lu Zhiyu joked, "Don't you need to cover your eyes or wear a hood?"
The bodyguard said stiffly, "No need."
Lu Zhiyu shrugged, feeling a little bored. However, the car did not drive out of the city as Lu Zhiyu had expected. Instead, it came to a stop near London Bridge and stopped in front of The Shard.
Lu Zhiyu looked at the entire building and scanned it with his mind power. Immediately, the sub-brain sorted out the structure of the building and the list of people inside. After checking, Lu Zhiyu immediately found Charlie Andrew's location.
"The boss is …"
Lu Zhiyu did not listen to him and immediately walked upstairs. Under the guidance of the waiter, he saw Charlie Andrew in the gym on the 52nd floor.
Charlie Andrew was exercising under the guidance of a female coach. When he saw Lu Zhiyu, he stopped and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Anthony, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Wait a minute, I'll change into a new set of clothes!"
"There's a restaurant here that combines Chinese design and modern fashion. They serve green ingredients and modern European cuisine with Asian flavors. I think you'll like it."
Lu Zhiyu nodded with a smile. After waiting for a while, he followed Charlie Andrew to the restaurant called TNG. The food was indeed delicious. The chef had made a lot of Chinese dishes. Even the decorations were Chinese. From here, one could see the whole of London. It made one feel as if they were standing on the clouds.
While Lu Zhiyu was eating, he kept looking at the top of The Shard. The building was 310 meters tall and was one of the landmarks of London. Lu Zhiyu had been here before, but he had never been there. At this moment, when his mind power covered the entire building, he immediately found something different. There was something on the top of the building that was emitting a strong, unknown force field that blocked Lu Zhiyu's mind power.
This aroused Lu Zhiyu's strong curiosity. Lu Zhiyu was sure that the secret gathering place of the Vatican Clan was here. Lu Zhiyu's mind reading ability could only detect the thoughts of others, but not their memories. Therefore, when Lu Zhiyu had met Charlie Andrew last time, he did not know where the Vatican Clan was.
Although he had many questions, since Charlie Andrew had brought him here, he would see what he wanted to see. There was no need to rush.
However, Lu Zhiyu did not expect that the Vatican Clan would be in such a place. Lu Zhiyu had thought that they would be in a remote, dark castle, or in a secret, old-fashioned alley, or even in Regent Street, which was relatively old in London.
It definitely would not be in such a famous building in London. Could it be that this building was the legendary Great Recluse? Lu Zhiyu chatted with Charlie Andrew as he ate. Suddenly, Andrew mentioned the building. "Anthony, do you know who owns this building?"
Lu Zhiyu thought for a moment. "This building was built in 2012. I heard that it was sponsored by the Qatari Royal Family. Are you referring to the Qatari Royal Family?"
Charlie Andrew shook his head. "Although the Qatari Royal Family is one of the shareholders, the main shareholder is the Debye Family from the Netherlands. They are the real owners of this building. Most of the properties in this building belong to them. I will introduce you to someone later."
