Chapter 1016 Cold Rejection

Lu Yu had just returned to his villa, seeking solace in a small pavilion overlooking the front yard. Before he could settle into a comfortable position, his assistant burst into the courtyard, her hurried steps echoing across the stone path.

"Is Lu Yu here?" She panted, scanning the area before spotting him. "Lu Yu! I found you. There's something urgent!"

She rushed toward him, barely catching her breath. "I have important news!"

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, setting down his drink. "What's the matter?"

"You've officially joined the hunting team, haven't you? That means you're obligated to complete the tasks we assign, correct?" she queried nervously.

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. "Indeed. What's the task?"

"Excellent! You're proving to be a valuable asset to the team," she beamed, her voice laced with relief. "I knew we could count on you. Thank you!"
