I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 177. Receive a Manor as a Gift
Chapter 177: 177. Receive a Manor as a Gift
The entire top floor of the Sheraton Hotel was in complete disarray.
Walls and doors were riddled with large holes, and the corridor was strewn with sticky blood plasma.
Even the ceiling was adorned with congealed viscera, not to mention the bodies lying haphazardly with gaping holes torn through them.
Lu Li had only fired 4 shots, using at most 2% of his Spirit, to achieve such an effect... This was the power of modern weaponry combined with Refining God.
"Mr. Lu Li, we need to talk."
Medea and Ulica tossed aside their guns and then slowly moved out with their hands raised over their heads.
Both of them were fairly composed; as executives of a multinational military corporation, capturing them alive was definitely the first choice.
And they had a backup plan—
Ulica had already ordered the mercenary squad to kidnap an important member of the campaign team as soon as possible to use as a bargaining chip.
So at this moment, they needed to stall for as much time as possible!
Medea was the first to speak:
"I am an executive of Titan Company. Titan Company provides military services to 12 countries around the world, with over 12,000 employees... Kill me, and you can’t afford the consequences!"
Lu Li responded indifferently, "I’m short on time, get to the point."
With a confident and composed smile, Medea continued:
"We can give you ten times, a hundred times what Maria is giving you! Kill her now..."
Hearing this, Lu Li shook his head, interrupting her: "You lack respect for me, for your own life."
As he spoke, Lu Li drew his pistol and aimed it at Medea’s forehead.
"What are you doing! This is a declaration of war..."
Amid Medea’s incredulous expression, Lu Li pulled the trigger...
But with a loud "bang," Medea’s eyes bulged as a bloody hole burst open on her forehead, and she fell backward.
Ulica’s face was splattered with a string of blood droplets, utterly stunned! The executive of an international giant, just killed like that!?
Seeing that Lu Li had already turned the gun towards him, Ulica snapped back to reality and quickly shouted:
"Wait! I have a lot of information... The current president hired me! And the one who hired Titan Company is the second-ranked candidate in the polls. They’ve signed a secret agreement, which will bring in a billion-dollar order if elected..."
This man was racking his brains, speaking words that sounded important at first, but were actually ambiguously useful.
At this moment, his phone vibrated faintly...
Ulica’s heart leapt with joy, thinking the mercenary squad had made progress.
It was quick, but considering they had an inside man, it was normal.
He was eager to check his phone, but to his surprise, Lu Li suddenly said:
"You seem very interested in this message."
Lu Li’s hearing, akin to a tiger’s, had successfully caught this subtle sound, as well as the urgent micro-expression on the man’s face.
In an instant, he snatched the phone with a flick of his hand.
"Your inside man says—’We haven’t gone back at all.’"
Lu Li glanced at it and allowed Ulica to see the message as well, confirming those were the words.
Key figures of the campaign team, including Jessica and Teresa, had come out, each with two Puppets for close protection.
From the start, Ulica didn’t stand a chance.
His expression tightened, and as he quivered his lips, about to say something more,
Lu Li had already pulled the trigger, and with a bang, blew his head apart.
With that, the enemies were all eliminated, and the days to come should be more peaceful.
Exactly 4 minutes had passed since Lu Li leapt out of the window he came through, even gesturing a wave at the "Shadow Painting Sword" in mid-air.

The motorcade, meanwhile, kept glancing in the direction of the Sheraton Hotel.
It wasn’t long before they saw Saladin screaming as he fell from the building.
"It’s started! But why aren’t there any gunshots?"
Aurora was somewhat puzzled; surely, the elite mercenaries on this entire floor couldn’t be without guns.
Lady Maria flipped through the documents, her tone steady as she said, "Be patient, Lu Li will take care of everything properly."
She was looking through a land transfer agreement.
Aurora, knowing what this was, curiously asked, "Did Mr. Luke really give away a manor?"
Lady Maria nodded, "Yes, he entrusted me to gift it to Lu Li."
Aurora exchanged a glance with First Lieutenant Reyes, who was driving, and both were secretly astounded...
At that moment, Lu Li’s voice suddenly came through the earphone:
"I’ve taken care of it, I’m heading back now."
"Okay," said Aurora as she quickly switched the channel to the team communication:
"Attention, friendly member approaching, friendly member approaching!"
There were security personnel armed and on alert around the convoy, so they needed to forewarn to avoid any mistakes.
A few seconds later, Lu Li got back into the car.
Lady Maria said with a smile, "Very punctual, exactly five minutes."
"Hmm, asked about a few things."
Lu Li handed his phone to Aurora to unlock it and repeated what Ulica had said.
For the incumbent president and the assassination plot hired by her political opponent, Lady Maria and others like Aurora didn’t show much of a reaction.
With the lady’s death, these people were obviously the biggest beneficiaries.
"However prepared we might be, in the end, we tend to oversimplify things..."
Lady Maria looked at Lu Li and said reflectively, "Thinking back on how we met, it feels like an arrangement of fate."
Lu Li also somewhat agreed with this statement; indeed, there seemed to be quite a bond between them.
Then, Lady Maria handed over a document envelope, saying:
"Mr. Luke has entrusted me to gift you a manor—Tepeya Manor."
Lu Li took it and saw that it was indeed a transfer agreement for a luxurious manor.
The manor was located on the outskirts of Mexico City, covering 30,000 square meters with a built area of 8,000 square meters, and was named for its view of Tepeya Mountain.
Its value was over 5 million dollars, but it could not simply be purchased with money—Mr. Luke’s gift was truly generous.
Moreover, having Lady Maria transfer it showed consideration for everyone’s feelings; there was a real sincerity in the gesture.
Lady Maria was also happy to help speak well of him:
"Mr. Luke is grateful for your deeds and would like to befriend you; I suggest you accept it."
Lu Li nodded and placed the document beside him.
Receiving a luxurious manor, his expression remained calm—an assurance that comes with strength, confident that he could handle anything that came his way.
Aurora felt quite emotional, always thinking of the day when this man came to buy a Children’s Rifle as if it were just yesterday.
But there was another matter at hand, Aurora asked:
"Lady, should we take care of those mercenaries?"
"Now that they have betrayed us, there is no need to keep them around."
Lady Maria wasn’t one to be soft-hearted and immediately made a decision.
This was a minor issue and didn’t require Lu Li’s intervention; Aurora was about to arrange for the convoy’s armed personnel.
But Lu Li suddenly said, "Let me do it."
"Right, you have old scores to settle."
Everyone remembered the first day they met, when one of Lu Li’s men had killed a mercenary.
Little did they know, Lu Li wanted "Number 0" to film a video to show his face on the internet and gather a surge of Wish Power from the people.
The task was easily accomplished with Ulica’s phone right there.
Aurora pulled out a sturdy military laptop, connected it to the phone, and soon had it unlocked.
Then, posing as Ulica, she sent a message to the mercenary leader Joey, luring them to the outskirts.
Lu Li also had the "Shadow Painting Sword" go ahead to keep an eye on the mercenaries, just to avoid any unexpected incidents.
With multiple measures in place, the fate of these people was sealed; they could only end up as extras in a small video.
