Before he could make any defensive moves.
Lu Chongwei has appeared in front of him.
"Bang!"
Lu Chongwei's fist wrapped in golden magic power hit Simon's abdomen firmly.
A dull sound of flesh colliding was heard.
Simon's thick armor shattered like paper.
His eyes bulged out, and he didn't even scream. His whole body was like a cannonball, smashing through the three walls behind him, and he passed out directly.
The whole place was silent.
Wally's wild laughter stopped abruptly.
He stared blankly at the human-shaped hole in the wall, cold sweat streaming down his forehead crazily. That was Simon! He was killed instantly with one punch!
"Plop."
Wally was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
Lu Chongwei turned around and walked step by step in front of Wally.
He stretched out his right hand, grabbed Wally's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here?"
Lu Chongwei's voice is not loud, but it is like the god of death from hell.
"Ahem... let... let me go..."
Wally struggled desperately, kicking his feet in mid-air.
"I'm only asking for the last time."
Lu Chongwei's hand suddenly became stronger.
The strong sense of depression made Wally feel the fear of death. His psychological defense completely collapsed.
"I said! I said! We were Erza's former companions in Tower of Heaven!"
Wally struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
"It's Jellal... it's Master Jellal who sent us to capture Erza!"
Hearing the two names "Tower of Heaven" and "Jellal", Lu Chongwei's eyes darkened.
He remembered Erza's nightmare full of fear.
At this time, Juvia had already taken action quickly.
She turned into a stream of crystal water and accurately cut off the building blocks that fixed Natsu, saving him.
"Good job."
Gray took a look at Juvia and gave a positive evaluation.
"Gray Master praised me!" Juvia was so happy that he almost fainted.
Lu Chongwei threw Wally on the ground like garbage.
"Tower of Heaven, it's probably been built."
Lu Chongwei turned his head and looked at Gray and Natsu who had just recovered.
There was a dangerous light in his eyes.
"Take these two guys and we'll go find Erza right away!"
Poker area.
Gorgeous chips pile up on the green gaming table.
Erza was wearing an elegant evening dress and sitting at the gaming table.
Her eyes are sharp, and she has a strong sense of confidence every time she flips the cards.
"A Royal Flush."
Erza gently threw the cards in his hand on the table.
The gamblers around him gasped.
"So strong! This is already the twentieth game she has won!"
"Who is this woman? She is simply the reincarnation of the God of Gamblers!"
The croupier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pushed a large pile of chips towards Erza while trembling.
Lucy stands behind Erza, having recovered from the shadow of Macaron.
"Erza, you are so awesome! We are rich!"
Lucy looked at the pile of chips, his eyes turned into the shape of gold coins.
Erza smiled slightly and was about to get up.
"Wonderful game, but ordinary chips are boring."
A frivolous voice came from outside the crowd.
The punters automatically moved out of the way.
A man with yellow hair and strange clothes came over. He had an almost crazy smile on his face and was playing with a deck of playing cards in his hand.
He is Hugh.
Xio walked to the gaming table, casually pulled out a playing card, and slapped it hard on the table.
It was a special black playing card with DEATH written on it in blood-red fonts.
"Why don't we use our lives as bets?"
Xio stared at Erza and sneered.
Erza saw the person coming clearly, and the smile on his face completely disappeared.
She stood up, and the chair behind her was knocked to the ground. Her eyes were full of shock and fear that could not be concealed.
"Hugh... why are you here?"
Erza's voice was trembling, as if he was witnessing the most terrifying nightmare.
"Are you surprised? My dear sister."
Xio sneered.
At this moment, a thick magic rope fell from the sky without warning.
"Meow~ I caught you!"
A girl with cat ears and whiskers on her face jumped from the ceiling.
Millianna.
The magic rope tied Lucy tightly, making her unable to move.
"Let me go! What do you want to do!"
Lucy struggled desperately, but the rope became tighter and tighter.
"Millianna! Let her go!"
Erza shouted anxiously. She subconsciously wanted to summon a weapon, but her body was stiff due to extreme fear and she was unable to mobilize magic power at all.
"Let her go? Why?"
Xio suddenly became furious. He slammed the table, pointed at Erza's nose and cursed loudly.
"Back then you betrayed us and escaped Tower of Heaven alone! You left us to Jellal and made us suffer there! You selfish traitor!"
Xio's expression was ferocious, and his eyes were full of crazy resentment.
"I didn't... I didn't betray..."
Erza held his head in pain and stepped back step by step.
The shadows of the past flooded her like a tide, and the helplessness and despair strangled her throat again just like before.
Just when Xio was about to activate his magic, he sucked Erza into the playing cards.
"Boom!"
The door of the casino was kicked straight away by violent force.
The door shattered into countless pieces of wood in the air and smashed onto the gaming table.
"Who dares to touch her?"
Lu Chongwei's cold and stern voice echoed throughout the casino.
He strode in, followed by Natsu, Gray and Juvia, dragging in his hands Wally and Simon who were beaten up and bruised.
"Lu Chongwei!"
Erza's eyes turned red when he saw that familiar figure.
Lu Chongwei's figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Millianna.
He just gave Millianna a cold look.
The terrifying murderous intent in those eyes made Millianna feel like he had fallen into an ice cave, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
"Meow!"
Millianna screamed in fright, and the magic rope was released.
Lucy collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
Lu Chongwei walked up to Erza and reached out to hold her trembling shoulders.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Lu Chongwei's voice was smooth and powerful, dispelling the fear in Erza's heart.
Xio's expression changed drastically as she looked at Wally and Simon who were dragged in.
"You actually defeated Simon and Wally!"
Xio gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Chongwei.
Erza calmed down her breathing, and she understood that some things cannot be avoided.
She turned around, looked at Xio who was filled with resentment, and spoke slowly.
"I have never betrayed you."
Erza's voice no longer trembled, but instead became one of deep pain.
"Back then, we were all slaves of Tower of Heaven. We resisted for freedom, but Jellal was controlled by black magic."
