Chapter 369: Lu Shu the Killer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I appreciate your visit to the orphanage. My apologies for the trouble,” Lu Shu smiled, his face eerily peaceful.

Their lies were already exposed at the mention of the red mole.

The slip in her swaddling clothes was known to all caregivers at the orphanage, which took good care of personal belongings for the kids and would return the items to their owners after they grew up. Lu Shu got back his pendant in the same way.

As for the red mole, only Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu knew that it was there thanks to Lu Shu.

Thus, if they had really found Lu Xiaoyu’s birth mother, she would have never given this piece of wrong information.

Lu Shu had seen a news article detailing Li Xianyi’s extermination of a Practitioner-trafficking organization just a few days ago, and he had run into one today. No matter what hidden agenda they served, Lu Shu would expect the worst. Hence, the three people would soon be dead.

Reflecting on the day’s events, Lu Shu mulled over why he had trusted those people subconsciously, and over thought so much when they simply stood at his door? The reason was obvious, the conversation between the two young men at the fine art street, “We are here to bring our younger sister home.”

The coincidence of their reappearance at night caught Lu Shu off guard. Nonetheless, it turned out to be a carefully considered trap.

Lu Shu’s promotion was always a well-known fact inside the Heavenly Network. But the Network itself had strict confidentiality rules, and many who failed to keep secrets had been expelled as a warning.

Therefore, they should know his identity if they were affiliated to a powerful external organization or turncoats inside the Network. But in reality, they did not. They were scammers who tried to abduct Xiaoyu!

According to the black market information given to them earlier, a number of gangs were engaged in illegal transactions involving not only magical stones and weapons, but also people with favorable aptitudes. It was completely unethical and intolerable.

The two people’s student-like appearance and peak of Class E ability gave Lu Shu the wrong impression of typical Heavenly Network students, but they… had never admitted it themselves.

The incident had made Lu Shu wiser. Although he was a relatively mature man most of the time, admittedly there were deceptive gimmicks he had never seen before.

However, they had chosen the wrong target.

The middle-aged man Meng Yue was a commoner, and it remained unclear whether the other two were Practitioners or Metahumans… But, they were too weak!

Meng Yunbang and Wang Qian’s blood went cold. One of them suddenly conjured up a mirror-looking wall, and the other threw the other two over his shoulders and prepared to retreat. In fact, both of them were Metahumans, not some Daoyuan Class students!

Too weak!

Composed, Lu Shu spoke, “You, are really too weak!”

All of a sudden, Lu Shu’s spears were in the air, and Meng Yunbang and Wang Qian crashed to the floor without a chance to catch their breath. Meng Yue was not much better either, as the mirror splintered into pieces under Lu Shu’s attack.

To kill, or not to kill, Lu Shu was in deep thought.

He was not a killer. But the question was, what if Xiaoyu was really taken away by them?

Maybe she would be fine. Under Anthony’s protection, few could harm her. But what if she could not use her power, if she were only an ordinary little girl?

They probably had heard of Lu Xiaoyu’s aptitude or her talent as an animal whisperer at the Salt Lake remain, which made her a profitable good, and hence the trap.

Regardless, to Lu Shu, the three of them were unforgivable.

Once he thought of what might have happened to Xiaoyu if she were a commoner girl, Lu Shu’s inner peace was disrupted, as though a monster suddenly emerged from his serene mental lake, ready to devour the world.

Maybe it was something buried deep in his heart, a beast that craved blood once awakened.

“For so many years, we are never apart. And now, you want to take her away just like this. Thus, I have to say, you probably have some misunderstandings with yourselves… and with me too. I don’t really want to hand you over to the Heavenly Network, because I’m afraid they won’t let you die,” Lu Shu’s mind was calmer and clearer by every second.

He could be the Lu Shu that the breakfast vendor Uncle Li knew as someone who worked his way through school, or the unfriendly Lu Shu in his classmates eyes. He was actually never a dangerous figure. Nothing would happen even if you had an argument with him. Even for someone like Li Dian, Lu Shu only viewed him as a normal scammer who tried his best chance at survival. In Lu Shu’s opinion, Li Dian did not deserve to die despite his acts of cheating and stealing.

At that moment, Lu Shu only wanted to give Lu Xiaoyu and himself a stable life. Innocent, maybe a little annoying at times, but not quite dangerous.

But now, he was Lu Xiaoyu’s Lu Shu. He would not think twice before staining his hands with blood, if it was necessary for Lu Xiaoyu.

“I have killed so many, and I won’t mind adding you to the list,” Meng Yue and the other two were struggling on the floor. Lu Shu spared no mercy in his attack. Then, pointing the tip of the spear at Meng Yue’s heart, Lu Shu suddenly exerted strength. Instantly, the air reeked of blood, a pool of purple black liquid quickly collected beneath Meng Yue’s stiffened body.

Indeed, Lu Shu did not want to hand them over to the Heavenly Network, because they might not let them die.

It was only then, that Wang Qian and Meng Yunbang realized how serious a mistake they had committed. In the past, they could flee when things went wrong, but now, they had never expected that this teenager would kill them without hesitation.

Next, Wang Qian. Only blood could wash away the hatred in Lu Shu’s heart.

Yes, Lu Shu detested these three people who tried to sell Xiaoyu.

Lu Shu whispered, “Discard the Class C. Take their souls and look through their memories. One by one. Don’t allow them the chance of reincarnation, though I’m not sure whether hell exists.”

Meng Yunbang could not understand his words, but he could feel his heart almost stopped due to fear.

At that moment, Li Yixiao suddenly appeared at the end of the lane. He came to persuade Lu Shu into that overseas expedition. But he immediately froze at the bloody scene, “Who are they! Don’t kill them first!”

But Lu Shu completely ignored him, and his spear pierced through Meng Yunbang’s heart. Then, he raised his head, his face emotionless, “Scammers who tried to abduct Xiaoyu. They deserved to die.”

Meanwhile, many neighbors were gathering outside, pointing their fingers at the site. Some of them were horrified, corresponding to a surge in Lu Shu’s background distress points.

Li Yixiao cast a look at the crowd, “It would be just fine if you killed them indoors. Now, you’ve brought bad public influence. I think you’d better follow me overseas and stay away from trouble…”

The point on public influence was pure bullshit. Since when was it part of Li Yixiao’s concern? After all, he still needed Lu Shu to help him earn money…

Lu Shu shot him a calm look, “Okay. I’m going.”

Li Yixiao did not know why his heart gave a throb at Lu Shu’s glimpse.

…

Lu Shu’s killing affair was reported to the superiors one by one. But due to his extremely high military ranking, it was passed to the Liuhai Lane of the Capital for processing. After all, it was a serious misconduct in the cultivation realm to exert capital punishment on one’s captives.

Unexpectedly, however, Nie Ting did not say a word after scanning through the document and signed a “Noted”. The person beside him was confused, so did he mean to punish or not?

Just when he was about to ask, another person pulled him aside, “Don’t need to ask. The Heavenly King himself felt that they deserved to die.”

Shi Xuejin drew a sudden inspiration. He went inside the room, rolled out his rice paper, and freely wrote down a line, “A heart of gold, and a fist of iron.”
