Chapter 957 The Rescued Girl

Lu Yu walked through the narrow and dark passage. After blasting open the iron door in front of him, he found himself in a well-decorated bedroom.

In the bedroom, a petite figure sat by the bed.

Lu Yu was surprised, as he did not expect to find a secret room inside Orlando's Trading Company.

Lu Yu walked forward carefully and asked, "Hello, can you hear me?"

The girl sitting next to him turned her head and looked at Lu Yu with lifeless eyes.

She had a pale, malnourished face.

"Who are you?"

She asked weakly and carefully sized up Lu Yu.

Noticing that Lu Yu was not a member of the trading company, she immediately let down her guard.

Lu Yu stood in front of her and asked again, "Did the Orlando family kidnap you and lock you up here?"

The girl nodded in confusion.

Lu Yu continued to ask, "Why did they kidnap you?"

After being asked this, the girl's face clearly showed some fear.

She pursed her lips and was somewhat resistant, as she did not trust the stranger in front of her.

"How did you get here?" she asked softly. "Why didn't the people from the trading company stop you?"

Lu Yu shook his head.

"Everyone in the trading company is dead. No one survived, so you are safe. I can let you out."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the girl finally smiled.

"Really? You killed them all?"

"Yes, that's right. I didn't leave any of them alive. Since I'm freeing you, can you tell me about your situation?"

The girl lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying helplessly, "I am the princess of the Dolan family. When I was born, a mage told my family that I had a rare spirit body constitution. When I'm 18, I'll awaken a very powerful ability, but I don't know what it is exactly."

"My family kept this a secret, but somehow it was leaked. That's why I was kidnapped, and they planned to raise me here until I'm 18 years old."

The girl shrugged helplessly, her face still looking very confused.

She had been locked up here for a few months.

Staying in this dark and sealed space every day was making her go crazy.

She looked up at Lu Yu and pleaded, "Can you take me out? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back to my family."

Lu Yu could tell that she was a pitiful girl, so he reached out to her.

"Let's go. I'll bring you out and back to your family. But where is the Dolan family located?"

The girl put her right hand in Lu Yu's. With Lu Yu's help, she walked out of the room and followed behind Lu Yu.

"The Dolan family is in the Grand Court," she answered. "The Grand Court is a cluster of cities. You just need to take me to one of the cities, and any branch of my family will send me back to the main family."

"Thank you for saving me. When I return to my family, I will definitely thank you."

Lu Yu brought her out of the passageway and into the lobby of the trading company.

Helen and the other two were shocked when they saw Lu Yu bringing out a living person.

Helen exclaimed in surprise, "Oh... there was actually a living person locked up in this secret room."

She sized up the girl in front of her carefully.

She found that the girl was dressed neatly and plainly. She looked beautiful and did not seem to have been hurt. It seemed that she was living in safety inside.

The girl looked at the three people in front of her and revealed a kind smile. She lowered her head slightly and greeted them. "Hello everyone, my name is Elena."

The Empress came to Lu Yu's side and asked, "This girl looks very young. Why is she locked up here?"

Lu Yu repeated what the girl had just said, and the three of them were also confused.

They had never heard of this special spirit body, but it wouldn't be surprising if there were something this special in this vast world.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression immediately turned grave. The Orlando family had kidnapped her, and there was no doubt that they wanted to offer her to the Demon Blood Lord. What an evil group of people!

Elena followed behind Lu Yu and asked carefully, "You will take me back, right? I'm afraid I won't be able to return home on my own."

She was not even 18 years old yet, and she did not have any talent. She was just a normal girl and would definitely be in trouble if she tried to traverse home on her own.

Moreover, she had a special physique. If no one protected her, she would definitely be threatened again.

Since it was on the way, Lu Yu felt that he could escort her back.

Lu Yu nodded and replied, "No problem. We can bring you back. You just have to stay by our side."

Elena smiled excitedly and hugged Lu Yu's arms. "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to leave here! Thank the heavens!"

Lu Yu looked at Helen and the other two and asked, "Have you taken everything here? Let's leave after we're done and not waste more time here."

They had taken away all the wealth of the trading company. This was enough for the five of them to travel freely in the Ember Empire without any hindrance.

Helen nodded slightly and said, "We've taken everything valuable. There are a lot more left, but we can't take them all, so we'll leave them here for now."

Lu Yu glanced at the pile of jewelry on the side. "Why don't we distribute these things to the residents of the town? They have been exploited by this trading firm, so let's consider it a way to give them back their livelihood."

Thus, the four of them threw all the remaining treasures in the room at the entrance of the trading firm.

Lu Yu and the other three brought Elena and prepared to leave Sandstorm Town.

Elena was wearing a white nightdress, clean and simple, without any jewelry that indicated that she was a noble.

Walking out of the dark room and standing under the sun, Elena could feel the vibrant world around her once more.

She opened her arms as if she wanted to embrace the bright sunlight.

She took a deep breath and sighed, "I can finally smell the fresh air again. Dad, Mom, I'm going back soon. Wait for me."

On the way out of Sandstorm Town, Lu Yu looked at Elena curiously and asked, "Is your family a prominent family in the Grand Court?"

Elena nodded and said proudly, "Of course. The Dolan family is one of the ten great families in the Grand Court. Naturally, the Orlando family is also powerful."

"The relationship between our two families isn't very good. The reason is simple. The Orlando family has a close relationship with the Demon Blood Lord. With the help of the Demon Blood Lord, the Orlando family's strength gradually reached its peak. The other nobles can only look up to them."
