Chapter 1508 - 1507: Is There a Problem?

After dealing with Merck, Lu Yu slowly descended from the branch office of Crescent Group, contemplating in his mind as he walked.

By now, Lu Yu had developed a very clear understanding of the Shadow Luo Organization. After thoroughly dissecting it from head to toe, he had gained a clearer insight.

This Shadow Luo Organization was entirely assembled by madmen like Adelaide. After enlisting some ambitious corporate heads, it deceitfully acquired the substantial funds from the European Federal Authority's Super Soldier Plan to reach its current scale.

Other organizations typically need over a hundred years of effort to expand to such a massive size, but Shadow Luo Organization achieved it in just ten short years!

It's fair to say, the organization has expanded rapidly in a short time!

"In a mere short time, transforming an obscure force into the current state — although the speed is swift, the organizational structure is completely unstable. Now, Shadow Luo Organization is merely in the spotlight, with these issues not yet exposed. However, once a problem arises, this organization will collapse swiftly!"

At this moment, Lu Yu pondered deeply. Having experienced the Assassin Alliance, he possessed a very clear comprehension of a organization's strength.

A organization's might does not depend on how many branches or subordinate personnel it has, but rather if its structure is stable and robust, with a presence of a solid core framework and order to shoulder the crucial roles.

If the core framework and order are absent, no matter how large the organization is, it is merely an illusion built upon sand, susceptible to weathering!

In Lu Yu's view, the Shadow Luo Organization exists as such!

"Shadow Luo Organization's growth till today is primarily backed by enormous funding, whereas majority of its members lack loyal devotion. Therefore, despite its considerable scale, it is merely a pile of sand."

At this point, Lu Yu's gaze revealed a trace of depth: "However, even as a heap of sand, with it currently in the spotlight, destroying it isn't easy!"

"Right now, its financial loopholes present a very valuable opportunity for exploitation!"

With his words, Lu Yu's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. He wasn't contemplating a direct confrontation between Assassin Alliance and Shadow Luo Organization, but rather seeking a more perfect method of defeat.

"Currently, due to the Steel-making City venture, Shadow Luo Organization's financial flow is experiencing a temporary pause. If I sever all their financial movements and exchanges at this time, they will wilt swiftly!"

"When that time comes, even if a battle is unavoidable, it will be much easier."

Lu Yu's mind was thoroughly clear and decisive. Cutting off the source and supply, then the thief can be caught. Once Shadow Luo Organization's financial flow is halted, it will be no longer formidable!

Having realized this, Lu Yu promptly took out his phone and quickly dialed Colonel Heaton's number.

"Mr. Lu..."

Upon connection, Heaton's somber voice instantly transmitted through the phone: "Calling at this late hour, what might you need?"

After Lu Yu's threats to Elizabeth IV, Colonel Heaton's attitude towards Lu Yu became even more deferential!

"Do you know Crescent Group?"

Uttering these words, Lu Yu slowly spoke, his voice deep and powerful with a hint of amusement.

"I know!"

Heaton's voice replied through the phone: "One of the largest energy enterprises, with numerous branches, it's known by all!"

"I wonder why Mr. Lu suddenly asks this question?"

In his speech, Heaton inquired, feeling puzzled as to why Lu Yu posed such a question.

"Heaton"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu sneered, addressing the phone directly, "What would you think if I told you Crescent Group is the largest behind-the-scenes consortium for Naihe Island and the Shadow Luo Organization?"

Crack!

As Lu Yu spoke, a crisp shattering sound instantly echoed from the other side of the phone, evidently the sound of a cup breaking!

"Are you certain?"

After the cup shattering sound, momentarily, Colonel Heaton asked, filled with disbelief: "Mr. Lu, are you certain this is true?"

"Heaton, do you think I'd be idly calling you late at night as a joke!?"

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Lu Yu coldly replied, his voice deep and powerful, imparting a solemn feeling.

"No!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's serious tone, Heaton hastily responded: "I trust Mr. Lu's words, but this result is truly beyond belief, because..."

"Because Crescent Group is the largest energy provider, correct?!"

Before Heaton could finish, Lu Yu spoke: "Heaton, consider this – to become a backing consortium for a group like Shadow Luo Organization, its financial might must be extraordinarily terrifying. If not Crescent Group, who else could possibly endure such enormous financial expenditure?"

"Moreover, if you were to say Crescent Group is being led by a head of state, I'd believe it without a doubt!"

In his speech, Lu Yu's voice carried a trace of solemnity, lending a sense of immense authority.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Colonel Heaton asked: "If that's the case, may I know what Mr. Lu requires of me now? I will fully cooperate to assist you!"

In his words, Heaton's tone was exceedingly polite, displaying utmost respect!

"Very well, since you've said this, I'll tell you straightforwardly!"

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Lu Yu's face revealed a cold smile, speaking directly into the phone, "Now, I want you to freeze all Crescent Group's financial transactions. Can you do that?!"

In his speech, Lu Yu's voice was extraordinarily deep, conveying an immensely profound impression!

Hiss!

Upon Lu Yu's statement, instantly, Heaton's side on the phone was heard gasping in astonishment, clearly caught off guard by Lu Yu's words!

Evidently, Colonel Heaton on the other end was deeply startled by Lu Yu's words!
