Chapter 1566 - 1565: Recording in Progress

I told you before, didn't I?

Hearing the voice on the phone, Umarov's body suddenly froze, his eyes bursting with a hint of coldness, appearing extremely surprised!

Now he recalls the words exchanged between him and Lu Yu previously, and he is stunned in place, with a chilling gleam in his eyes, exuding a murderous intent!

Lu Yu had previously warned him to stop funding the Shadow Luo Organization, but Umarov did not heed the warning. Instead, he made a bet with Lu Yu that the loser would have to kneel on the street!

And now, everything that is happening has truly caught Umarov off guard, the overwhelming media pressure is something Umarov finds hard to bear!

"Why aren't you talking?"

Hearing no response from the phone, at this moment Lu Yu spoke calmly, his voice coming through the telephone, full of mocking tone: "Are you now so overwhelmed that you don't know how to handle it?"

In his words, Lu Yu's voice was filled with mockery, each word piercing into Umarov's heart like needles and thorns, making him extremely uncomfortable!

Crescent Group has always been the energy supplier for the European Region, also a giant presence, such public opinion news was definitely a huge loss for Crescent Group's reputation!

Umarov doesn't even need to look to know that Crescent Group's stock is definitely plummeting, and online there's a wave of public opinion, now Crescent Group is like a hot potato being roasted over fire, immensely passive!

"Lu Yu!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Umarov spoke coldly: "Do you think you've won?! I've been stationed in London for many years, my connections here are intricate, do you think your little media tactics can defeat me?!"

"Let me tell you, Lu Yu, you are absolutely delusional!"

Currently, Umarov's speech was already icy and low: "With just one word from me, the information you put online would be wiped clean by tomorrow!"

"Public opinion, before me, is truly insignificant!"

In his words, Umarov's tone was low, full of confidence!

With Swift's backing, he truly believed his reputation group could easily cover this matter. After all, Swift's influence is incredibly terrifying!

"Are you sure?"

Upon hearing Umarov's words, Lu Yu sneered coldly, now his voice low, filled with a sense of amusement: "Are you really sure public opinion is just an insignificant matter?!"

"Certainly!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Umarov responded coldly: "Public opinion is just the grievances of ordinary folks on regular days, these people usually achieve nothing, can their words really stir up a storm?!"

"Fine!"

Upon hearing such words from Umarov, Lu Yu spoke loudly, his voice high and spirited: "Since you can say such words, then why don't we place another bet?!"

Currently, Lu Yu's voice was full of low tone, the amusement in his words evident, as if like a cat teasing an overly arrogant mouse!

"How do you want to bet?!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Umarov responded, with his voice low and tinged with curiosity.

"Easy!"

As soon as Umarov spoke, Lu Yu's lips curled into a cold smile, his gaze shifted, after a brief thought he spoke: "Tomorrow is the day we fulfill our original wager, so now I bet that tomorrow, you'll be absolutely drowned by public opinion, completely disgraced!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's voice already carried a hint of murderous intent, sounding as if it could send chills down one's bones!

"Fine!"

Upon hearing this, Umarov agreed straightforwardly, speaking coldly: "Since it's like this, this wager and the previous one will be treated as one, the loser will kneel in public and admit defeat!"

"No problem!"

Upon these words from Umarov, Lu Yu responded coldly: "Since you insist, I agree, previous wagers combined with this one, the loser kneels and begs for mercy, even imitating a dog!"

"Alright!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Umarov agreed readily, thinking he had Swift as a partner, a common media storm could be settled instantly!

Precisely under such a premise did Umarov feel fearlessly confident!

"Very well, in that case"

Upon hearing Umarov agree, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then spoke: "Let's wait and see what the outcome will be tomorrow!"

Saying that, Lu Yu directly hung up the phone.

"Boss, wasn't your agreement somewhat too rash?"

When Lu Yu hung up the phone, Hussein came directly to Umarov, speaking: "The public opinion outside is like a mountain, making such a promise to Lu Yu seems a bit thoughtless..."

While speaking, Hussein's words seemed sincere, as if truly considering Umarov, whereas his presence here was due to Lu Yu's influence!

Lu Yu had previously brought him to the Assassin Alliance's London branch and showcased its strength, thoroughly shocking Hussein, who returned this time under Lu Yu's request to monitor and control Umarov!

Under such a premise, Umarov was completely unaware there's a spy planted beside him!

"No fear!"

Upon hearing Hussein's words, Umarov waved dismissively, pouring himself a glass of wine, speaking: "Those wretched people in London are just making noise futilely. I only need to inform Swift, for him to handle things, those people's words will vanish instantly!"

"As for those ministers, they're even less concerning, with Swift around, they're all insignificant!"

In his words, Umarov was full of confidence, yet he hadn't noticed at all the small text displayed on Hussein's injured watch: "Recording in progress!"
