The Eternal Club
The Eternal Club 10: What Ability Is This
A warm yellow glow illuminated the long corridor. Several pairs of eyes followed the sound of the footsteps and turned to look at the staircase.
A man in a gray windbreaker, who had both of his hands in his jacket pockets, walked in a leisurely fashion towards them.
The next thing they saw made all their hair stand on end.
Everyone watched in shock as the man took just one step out and covered several meters at once. It was as if he could travel forward in time, or perhaps the corridor had suddenly shrunk in length.
The entire corridor was nearly 30 meters long, but the man covered it in seconds.
Once he got close, they could see him much more clearly.
This man was fairly young and had a scholarly air about him. He was clean shaven, wore a pair of gold rimmed glasses and smiled warmly as he looked at the Rong family members.
The atmosphere outside the bedroom became tense.
The bodyguards in black suits finally realized what was happening and quickly stood in front of the Rong family members with grave looks on their faces. They placed their hands on their belts, ready to brandish their weapons anytime as they looked warily at Lu Li.
The Rong family was now led by the generation that had the word ‘Zhi’ in their names. Rong Zhijian was the head of the family and was the CEO of Fidele Inc.; Rong Zhikuan was the current CEO of Brazil Global; Rong Zhixin was the reputable head of Square Digital Inc.; Rong Zhiquan was the general manager at Namyoung Cotton Mills as well as the head of the Textile Council of Hong Kong.
All four key members of the Rong family were staring straight at Lu Li with a glint in their eyes.
What they had just witnessed was indeed rather shocking.
“Who are you?” asked Rong Zhijian in a deep voice.
Lu Li chuckled when he heard Rong Zhijian’s question.
He looked at all the people standing in front of him, then turned to look into the bedroom and saw the old man lying on the bed.
Lu Li turned away from the old man and looked back at the crowd that was looking at him as if he were a threat to their lives.
He laughed and waved his hand.
The usual notification appeared in his mind.
“A hundred times.”
Lu Li immediately caused the time in the area surrounding himself, and the four key members of the family, to increase by 100 times.
In that instant, the five of them seemed like they were in a separate zone from the rest of the people around them.
Rong Zhijian, Rong Zhikuan, Rong Zhixin and Rong Zhiquan immediately noticed that something strange had happened.
All the sounds around them had instantly disappeared.
The security guards, servants as well as their fellow family members looked as though someone had pressed the pause button on them.
These four men had risen to the top of such a powerful and elite family, so there was nothing they hadn’t seen before.
Yet, all of them had eyes as wide as saucers now as they looked around frantically, helpless as to what they could do in such a situation.
Rong Zhiquan walked towards the window and looked outside to find that the entire world outside the building were also on pause!
Further out, the usually bustling roads were an even stranger sight to behold. All the cars seemed to have come to a stop!
He stared at the cars for some time and found that the cars hadn’t actually stopped. They were just moving at a ridiculously slow speed. He could even walk faster than that.
When the other three joined him at the window, they too, realized that the world outside had not stopped but rather, had just become much slower.
“Who on earth are you? What do you want?” demanded Rong Zhijian with a grim but slightly nervous and terrified look on his face as he turned to look at Lu Li.
What sort of supernatural ability was this?
Regardless of whether this young man’s ability was to stop time or slow it down, this was an ability that not even the powerful Rong family could fight against.
In fact, if this young man in front of them had ill intentions when coming here, then none of them would be able to defeat him since he had a superpower like this!
The four men standing in front of Lu Li were influential figures in Shanghai. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if these four men stomped their feet, then the entire financial world of Shanghai would shake violently!
But these highly influential big shots were now staring in fear at Lu Li.
Lu Li felt really pleased by this tip in the balance of power.
“Oh dearie me. I seem to have frightened all of you,” said Lu Li with a laugh.
He paused for a moment, and then stood up straight to slowly straighten out his uncrumpled shirt before looking back at the four men again.
His expression was serious as he introduced himself, “Please allow me to introduce myself.”
“My surname is Lu, so you may call me Mr. Lu. I am a merchant who wanders the earth with just one thing to sell, and that is…”
Lu Li spoke in a calm and composed manner and paused when it came to this point. As he looked at the four powerful men before him, the twinkle in his eye intensified and he finally uttered the last word of his sentence.
“…time!”
His last word resounded like a blast of thunder in the ears of the four key members of the Rong family.
All four of them looked at each other with shocked faces.
“And what sort of merchant could possibly buy and sell time as a commodity?”
“Is that an elder of the family? He only has 13 more minutes left to live…” said Lu Li suddenly as he turned to look at the old man lying on the bed.
After hearing what Lu Li said, the four men slowly calmed down. Their faces brightened up as they began to realize what Lu Li was trying to say.
