Chapter 712 The Direction Of Public Perception

As Lu Yu and the other three walked down the street, the people around them made way for them and revealed panicked expressions whenever they saw them.

Seeing how scared they were, Yun Zirou said speechlessly, “We saved them, but they’re so afraid of us.”

“It can’t be helped. They don’t know what happened.”

“It looks like we have to wait for Wang Meng to do something.” Xu Yuan had his hands in his pockets as he walked down the street with an indifferent expression.

Although the people around him looked at him strangely, he didn’t care. After all, no one was as strong as them.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Golden Gate Hotel.

When the two security guards standing at the door saw Lu Yu and the others walking over, they were so nervous that their muscles tensed up.

Just as Lu Yu was about to enter, the security guard raised his hand to stop them.

“Sir, why don’t you change to another hotel?”

The security guard suggested carefully.

“Why?” Lu Yu asked in dissatisfaction.

“Uh… why don’t I report it to our manager first?”

He quickly turned around and took out his phone to call the manager.

Soon, the hotel manager walked out quickly.

He stood before Lu Yu and adjusted his suit collar, looking at Lu Yu with a solemn expression.

“I know you. I saw you on the news.”

“So, you don’t plan to let me in?”

The general manager shook his head with a regretful expression. “I’m really sorry, sir. I think you should change places. You’re too strong for our small shop.”

Lu Yu could not help but laugh. “The Golden Gate Hotel is the best hotel in Star Ocean City. If you claim that you’re unable to take me in, then won’t we have to sleep on the streets?”

The general manager felt a little nervous, but he still had his concerns.

“The dragon you have is too dangerous for this city. Who knows if you wanted to attack in the middle of the night and summon the dragon to destroy the city?”

Lu Yu suddenly understood his concerns. “Oh, I see. So you don’t trust us enough.”

The general manager looked like he had given up and said, “I’ve already made my intentions clear. If you want to make a move, then go ahead. After all, this is the city center, and I’m not afraid!”

He seemed to think that Lu Yu would teach him a lesson. After all, Lu Yu was terrifyingly powerful!

“This card should be able to prove my identity.”

Lu Yu took out the gold card Wang Meng had given him as he spoke.

The general manager took the gold card, and his eyes widened.

“Impossible. There are only five such cards in the entire city!”

“Do you know about the Fierce Dragon Gang?” Lu Yu asked.

“Of course. There aren’t many people in Star Ocean City who don’t.”

“This card was given to me by the leader of the Fierce Dragon Gang.”

Lu Yu’s words shocked the general manager, causing him to step back and tremble.

“You know the leader of the Fierce Dragon Gang?”

“Alright, I understand. You can enter now.”

Lu Yu took back the card and strode into the hotel without anyone else stopping him further.

The general manager stood rooted to the ground, his heart beating furiously.

Looking at Lu Yu’s back, the general manager sighed in relief. Fortunately, they didn’t get into a fight.

After Lu Yu walked in, Xu Yuan could not help but quip, “I didn’t expect it to be your turn to look for Wang Meng as your backer. The tables have turned.”

Lu Yu glanced at him and replied, “I just don’t want to cause any more trouble. It’s easier and quicker to use Wang Meng’s position to scare them.”

“Do you think they will treat you as Wang Meng’s underling?” Xu Yuan guessed with laughter.

Yun Zirou was also interested and smiled, “It’s possible. Maybe they’ll think the “Dragon” from the Fierce Dragon Gang’s name comes from you.”

“Who cares about them? Everything will be explained clearly when Wang Meng talks with the press.”

Lu Yu did not care about this any further.

He picked up the gold card and looked at it. “This is a ready-made room card. There’s no need for the front desk to check us in. ”

They entered the elevator and headed straight to the top floor of the building.

The top floor of the Golden Gate Hotel was a two-story penthouse. There was a swimming pool on the balcony on the first floor and a diving board on the second floor.

There was a garden filled with all kinds of expensive flowers. Just that balcony alone was enough to soothe their mood.

Lu Yu and the others walked in, noticing the large living room filled with many art pieces, furniture, and high-tech appliances.

Lu Yu walked in, found a sofa, and sat down.

“This room is comfortable. We sure haven’t lived in such a comfortable place for quite some time.” Lu Yu sighed.

“This place is more luxurious than all the houses I’ve lived in before.” Xu Yuan also sighed.

“I’ve long heard that this city is luxurious, but I didn’t expect to be at this level. It would be hardpressed to find a city on the same level as Star Ocean City in the Freedom Federation.” Yun Zirou added as she sat on the sofa, turning on the television.

Soon, they saw the news on TV.

The news media of Star Ocean City began to report today’s news, with the first being about the Xu Group’s cooperation with the enemy.

Immediately after, it was reported that the enemies were on the verge of invading the city but were defeated by Lu Yu and the others.

The gigantic television screen played the video of Lu Yu riding the Water Spirit Dragon, destroying the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce’s troops.

The news reporter continued with a firm expression. “Mr. Lu Yu, an ally of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce, helped us repel an external threat and invasion. At the same time, we finished an internal purge and ended the crisis in Star Ocean City!”

This news was broadcast one after another, and the direction of public opinion in the city immediately changed.

Xu Yuan took out his phone and read the comments.

“The wind is changing fast. There are already a lot of articles and comments praising you on the internet.”

Lu Yu did not think much of this. “Of course. It looks like Wang Meng’s influence here is working.”

“Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the people here will know we are their allies.”

Yun Zirou added, “I guess so. The people here hate the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce as well, so this must be why their perception of us changed this quickly when they found out that we’re allies.”

“External threats are the easiest thing to unite the masses, after all.”

Lu Yu looked down at his phone. “We still have time, so let’s rest here awhile. We’ll go and take a look when the banquet starts tonight.”

At the same time, Wang Meng had already begun to send invitations to most of the prominent families in Star Ocean City.

All the upper-class figures in Star Ocean City would be attending the celebration banquet tonight.

Despite the fact that the invitation was unexpected and there was little time to prepare…

They didn’t dare reject this invitation from Wang Meng.

Wang Meng was taking this opportunity to proclaim his true status over Star Ocean City!
