Chapter 513: Chapter 5: Sorry, I Breached the Contract

"Alright, summon Meiying, Chenxi, and the rest. I’d like to see just who is plotting against me."

"You got it!"

Dong Lin immediately began summoning the territory’s other Legendary Heroes. Thanks to Lin Yu’s [Summoner IV] and [Emperor] abilities, Dong Lin could summon sixteen heroes of a lower tier than himself.

Thus, Lin Yu’s Legendary Heroes—like Chenxi and Meiying—were summoned, along with the Legendary Sword Immortal under Li Hua’s command.

They then summoned Legendary Tier heroes, who in turn summoned heroes of the Extraordinary Tier.

In less than a minute, the service hall—previously emptied by the conflict—was now packed with over 4,000 summoned heroes.

"Seize those men in black."

The men in black from the Kuang Tie Company were startled by the heroes Lin Yu had summoned and immediately tried to flee.

At the end of the day, however, they were merely Extraordinary Beings, equivalent to Extraordinary Tier heroes. And while their Array had allowed them to briefly trade blows with Dong Lin while he held back, they stood no chance of resisting over 4,000 Extraordinary Beings of the same level. They were quickly captured.

Lin Yu looked at the men in black forced to kneel before him and smiled.

’I don’t care what your plan was. I’ll just capture all of you and interrogate you at my leisure.’

"Meiying, they’re all yours. Just don’t kill them. Find out their objective and who’s pulling the strings."

"Wait!!"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rushed in from outside, accompanied by a shout.

A group of men in the Lord Service Center’s security uniforms rushed out from an unknown corner. Their leader demanded loudly, "Lin Yu, do you have any idea what you’re doing?"

"And who are you? A security guard from the Service Center?"

"Lin Yu, watch your tone! This is the Head of Security for the Cuiwei Star Lord Corps—Sir Leant Bates."

"My apologies. I’m not acquainted with your head of security."

"You motherf..."

Leant Bates silenced his subordinate with a wave of his hand. He walked over to Lin Yu, completely unfazed by the Legendary Heroes surrounding him, and said calmly:

"Lin Yu, you will be punished for trashing the hall of the Lord Service Center like this. Don’t think you can do whatever you please just because you took first place once."

"There’s a first-place winner for the third stage every year, but very few of them ultimately flourish."

"You’re still young. Don’t be so hot-headed."

"A young man should be patient and humble. A slow and steady accumulation of strength is the true path to success. Couldn’t you have resolved this conflict peacefully?"

Lin Yu let out a dry chuckle. "Director Leant, I wonder if the Legion Commander himself knows about this little performance you’re putting on today. It’s quite a show!"

"The Legion Commander returned to the Emperor Star to report on his duties after a meeting a few days ago. The Cuiwei Star Lord Corps is currently under my command. So, what difference does it make if he knows?"

Leant Bates, completely unfazed by Lin Yu’s sarcasm, replied rather smugly.

Just then, Li Hua sent a telepathic message to Lin Yu from behind: "Boss, I just did a quick search. Rumor on the web is that this Leant Bates isn’t in the same camp as the Legion Commander. The Commander is a direct subordinate of the Imperial Lord Corps, while Leant Bates is from the noble faction."

Lin Yu nodded. He was starting to get a clear picture of who was targeting him. While it was often hard to separate fact from fiction online, it at least provided a starting point.

"Captain of the guards, please forgive my simple mind, but the only solution I can think of right now involves force. I’d be grateful if you could suggest a better way to resolve this."

"They already told you, didn’t they? Hand over the management rights to your territory, and the debt will be canceled."

"Oh? So you heard that, did you?" Lin Yu asked, blinking innocently.

"Never mind how I know. Just tell me, do you agree or not?"

"I’m not insane! Agree my ass!..." Lin Yu couldn’t stop himself from unloading on Leant Bates. A few minutes later, having vented, he finally felt much better.

Leant Bates expressionlessly wiped his face. "Sigh... Young people these days have no self-control."

"Lin Yu, surely you don’t think these people alone can stand against the Lord’s Legion’s Extraordinary Army, let alone the Cuiwei Star’s Star-level Fleet?"

"Now listen to yourself. What have I done? All I did was summon my men from my territory for a little get-together on Cuiwei Star, and while I was at it, I nabbed a few thugs trying to extort me."

"What? Is having a get-together illegal now?"

"You’re having a get-together *here*?"

"Of course not. I just saw the service hall was empty, so I summoned them here first. We’re all going to my farm for a picnic. Is there a problem with that? Is that not allowed?"

Leant Bates took a deep breath. "Fine! However, the rent on your farm hasn’t been paid, so it no longer belongs to you! If you pay the overdue rent, then you can go have your picnic."

"Oh dear, now that you mention it! We haven’t paid rent for the last few years, have we? That must mean we’ve breached the contract!"

"Dad! Dad! Do you still have the contract we signed? I want to see what the penalty is for not paying rent."

Lin Ye, who had been watching the rapidly changing situation from the sidelines, was already dumbfounded.

He was stunned by the power his son had suddenly revealed, but also worried for Lin Yu’s safety now that Leant Bates had appeared.

Hearing Lin Yu’s question, he hurriedly answered, "Yes, I have it!"

He then put down his backpack and began to rummage through it. He quickly pulled out a stack of papers. It was the contract for the farm, which he had always kept in perfect condition as proof of their usage rights.

Lin Yu took the contract and began to examine it carefully.

"Well, look at this," Lin Yu said, tapping the document. "It clearly states here that refusal to pay rent is considered a breach of contract."
