Chapter 1503 - 1502: Consortium

Are you still planning to grit your teeth and not let a single word out?

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Merck's expression suddenly froze. For a moment he actually didn't know how to respond!

If this had been earlier, Merck would have answered without hesitation, giving the firmest reply, swearing to protect the Shadow Luo Organization's secrets to the death!

But now, Merck was silent!

Because right now, he simply couldn't bring himself to say those words straight away!

Right under Merck was a drop of dozens of meters. His whole body was hanging in midair at that height, and beneath him were brightly lit roads, cars passing by from time to time with bursts of noise.

Merck didn't know how many times he'd seen this kind of scene; when he stood alone by the window drinking, he'd watched it countless times.

But only this time felt fundamentally different!

Because this time, Merck wasn't looking at all this from inside a grand, imposing office. He was literally outside the window, watching the scene with his whole body hanging there!

Not only that, all that was supporting him was one arm. His other arm was already injured and couldn't exert any strength at all!

So right now, Merck was truly desperate!

He could clearly feel his strength dropping rapidly, and the icy high-altitude wind kept whipping against him. On top of that, his muscles were tensed to the limit, which had made his arm completely numb. Because of all that, Merck was already on the verge of falling!

If this dragged on any longer, Merck really wouldn't be able to hold on!

Watching Merck's eyes constantly shifting, a chilling glint flashed in Lu Yu's gaze. A faintly contemptuous look curled at the corner of his mouth as he lifted his foot, speaking in a flat tone, "So, you really don't intend to say anything at all?"

"If that's the case, I'll just send you on your way now!"

As he spoke, killing intent surged thickly in Lu Yu's voice. His eyes lowered, staring at Merck as he said coldly, "Once you're down there, remember to save seats for everyone in the Shadow Luo Organization. With that many people dying, things down below are going to be a mess."

As he spoke, Lu Yu suddenly moved, ready to stomp down on Merck's other hand!

"I'll talk!"

Seeing Lu Yu's foot about to come down, Merck shouted, his voice loud and frantic, tinged with naked panic, terrified that he hadn't called out in time!

"Oh?"

Hearing that, a hard glint flashed across Lu Yu's face. He slowly halted his movement, fixing his eyes on Merck as he said, "What are you saying? I don't seem to understand."

As he spoke, Lu Yu's voice was very low, saturated with murderous intent, giving off a chilling pressure.

"Everything you want to know, I'm willing to tell you. As long as it's something I know, I'll tell you every last detail, nothing held back!"

Merck's voice trembled as he spoke. Staring at Lu Yu, he sounded utterly terrified, and you could even hear a faint sob in his tone!

Merck's psychological defenses had completely collapsed. Under the threat of death, he was truly willing to spill anything!

All he wanted now was to live. Other than that, Merck had no other thoughts at all!

"In that case, what are you still hesitating for?"

Hearing Merck's words, Lu Yu replied coldly. His eyes dropped to Merck as he said, "Do you expect me to ask you one thing at a time?"

There was a clear air of condescension in Lu Yu's tone. He simply stared down at Merck, every word dripping with crushing pressure!

Buzz!

Hearing Lu Yu's words, goosebumps broke out all over Merck's body. Looking at Lu Yu, he almost got so scared he slipped and fell straight down!

"The Shadow Luo Organization's purpose in raising funds…"

Hearing Lu Yu, Merck thought for a moment, then spoke. His voice was low, his teeth faintly chattering, "It's because the Shadow Luo Organization's financial reserves have run into a very serious problem!"

He spoke in a low voice, "Adelaide acted on his own delusions, pouring nearly eighty percent of the organization's funds into his godhood dream. He didn't just build a carrier that integrates sea and air power, he's now pushing for even deeper modifications on a massive scale."

"With that kind of overhaul, eighty percent of the organization's funds have already been burned through. If we don't raise more money, it won't be long before the Shadow Luo Organization's funds are completely drained!"

Merck didn't speak loudly, but every word landed heavy, each one tied to the Shadow Luo Organization's most critical secrets!

The Shadow Luo Organization's finances had a hole!

Hearing this, a sharp light flickered in Lu Yu's eyes. After a brief surge of satisfaction, he quickly regained his calm. Looking at Merck, he asked, "You said the Shadow Luo Organization's funds have a gap. Then what I want to know now is, how are you planning to raise money for them?"

"In a world this big, I doubt there's any organization left that dares to bankroll a group like yours."

Lu Yu's voice was cool and indifferent, with a hint of grim amusement. He watched Merck and said, "And how did you end up tangled up with the Crescent Group?"

Lu Yu was very curious. The Shadow Luo Organization's reputation was already rotten to the core. So why would the renowned Crescent Group choose to get involved with such a notorious organization at a time like this?

"It's simple."

At that, Merck spoke, his voice shaking, clearly a sign that his strength was nearly gone. "Because the Crescent Group is the consortium that originally funded the Shadow Luo Organization."

His voice was low and husky. His body was trembling violently as his stamina plummeted. One look and you could see how he shook and strained, as if he could fall at any second!
