邻居的妻子

“I’m giving you a last chance. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences,” Lu Yu warned ominously.

“Lu Yu, if you want to kill, just go ahead and do it. If I so much as frown, I’m not a hero,” Liu Bo said in a provocative tone, refusing to yield.

Lu Yu’s face clouded over. At this moment, his mental power swung into operation, and with the Major Circumambulation Breathing Technique operating in the background at all times, Lu Yu’s mental power had advanced to an alarming level.

As the Sky Demon Roar and the Purple Eye skills were activated, in an instant the mental power attack blasted at Liu Bo. Following that, a burst of purple light flashed in Lu Yu’s eyes. Liu Bo’s body shook violently, and his eyes became dull. Immediately, he gave a frightened scream, “No, don’t come near me!”

Liu Bo began screaming and howling as if he had seen some terrifying visages, and his body gradually curled up into a ball.

Thereafter, as his eyes gradually became dim and lifeless, he stopped struggling.

“Dead already?” Looking at the lifeless Liu Bo, Lu Yu frowned and felt very puzzled.

This guy was way too weak in the face of torture. Lu Yu had not even fully deployed his mental power, yet that guy was already as dead as a doornail. He could only mutter, “Looks like next time, I have to control my power a bit.”

Beside him, Li Tieniu gave a silent gulp. He could feel his skin going numb all over.

Was this Captain Lu’s strength? With just a simple mental-type attack, he could kill an Advance Great Martial Master instantly. If it had been used on Li Tieniu, wouldn’t he be as dead as a dodo too?

Initially, in the Gamma Military Zone, almost all the soldiers and generals suspected that news regarding Lu Yu killing a War General was exaggerated and that Lu Yu was simply lucky. Right now, he did not have the slightest doubt that Lu Yu had the ability to kill War Generals.

“Enough. It is so hard to get a clue, yet we’ve lost him just like that. Looks like we have to think of other ways,” Song Yu rolled her eyes and said.

Lu Yu, who always maintained his composure regardless of circumstances, appeared very embarrassed as he scratched his nose sheepishly. He asked, “When is the 4th squadron and the 1st platoon arriving?”

The 4th squadron was Lu Yu’s original team while the 1st platoon was under Li Tieniu’s command.

Li Tieniu replied, “According to my calculation, they will probably arrive in Lunan City first thing tomorrow morning.”

Only then did Lu Yu’s uneasy mind calm down thoroughly. On the same day, Lu Yu brought Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu, and left the hospital. Not surprisingly, having witnessed for themselves the might of Lu Yu and his team, the hospital staff did not dare say anything.

“Oh, yes. This card contains one million. The password is the initial password. It is imperative that you hand this million to the family of the deceased. If you dare to keep it for yourself, you will have to bear the consequences.

Lu Yu took a look at the body of the female doctor outside the door and handed a bank card to the hospital director. He accepted the card and said with trepidation that he would never think of keeping it for himself.

“Is he… really Lu Yu?”

“There’s no mistake about it. I watched the battle with that War General that day from afar. It is Lu Yu himself.”

All the doctors and nurses in the hospital were utterly shocked by the news that Lu Yu was still alive.

The hospital director immediately said with a stern face, “Do not divulge this matter to anyone, not even your own family. This mess is not something we should get involved in. I believe that everyone present is a smart person.”

Everyone in the hospital nodded their heads. They would not even dare to breathe a word to their own spouses sharing the same bed, much less divulge it to other family members.

At this moment, in the City Lord’s Office.

Hou Tianlai, the newly arrived acting city lord, glanced at his watch and said with a rather displeased look, “This fellow Liu Bo! He is really getting more and more outrageous. It’s already so late, yet he still hasn’t contacted me.”

The servant at the side hurriedly said, “Honorable City Lord, perhaps Mr. Liu was caught up in something and couldn’t find the time.”

“Hmph! I hope so!” Hou Tianlai said with a snort, “Tomorrow is the day to behead that group of scoundrels. Is everything ready?”

“Certainly. Everything is in order. At that point, the people from all the powerful families will be present. Through the live broadcast, it will be shown to all the citizens of the city.” The servant then leaned close and added, “By that time, the entire Lunan City will know your authority is not to be challenged, Honorable City Lord.”

“Since it is the last day, let them feast well and send them to hell with full stomachs.” Hou Tianlai waved his hand.

In the prison of the City Lord’s Office.

Tonight’s dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous, full of fish and meat dishes. Having been locked up for many days without food, the disciples of the Central Dojo and the members of the Zhang family grabbed handfuls of the food and began wolfing them down.

“Why is tonight’s dinner so sumptuous? Could this be my final meal before my execution?” Wang Kang, who had just taken a few bites, guessed very accurately. He sank to the ground, crying until his snot was flowing freely. “I… I… I’m going to die. I don’t want to die yet!”

“Dammit! It’s just a scar as big as your head, right? What is there to be afraid of? 18 years from now, we’ll be reborn as heroes again!” Zhang Yu laughed bravely as he grabbed the food. “Come, come, come! Drink your wine, eat your meat!”

The disciples of the Central Dojo all picked up their bowls and began feasting.

Wang Kang said in a choked voice, “You have nothing to be afraid of, but I’m afraid. I’m afraid that after my death, what will happen to my wife and son?”

Immediately, Zhang Yu’s body froze, and the chicken drumstick in his hand fell to the ground. Then, with his hands covering his face, he began bawling. “Yes! You say I have nothing to be afraid of, but I am also afraid! I’m afraid of those Zhang family members who have died. I dream of them every night, those deathly faces clamoring for my life.”

“I, Zhang Yu, have let them down. I am responsible for their deaths…”

Zhang Huaian patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder and said softly, “Dad, you still have me.”

Zhang Yu’s heart ached with sorrow and he said, “Huaian, have you never blamed me? It is I, your father, who did not listen to your advice and choose the path of death.”

Zhang Huaian became silent. He only spoke again moments later, “To be honest, I hate you. It is you who caused so many members of the Zhang family to die by the sword. But, I am your son. No matter what you do, I will support you without any hesitation!”

“Hahaha… Huaian, if there is a next life, I will not let you follow me down this path of death. Let me go down tomorrow and make amends to those members of our family!”

Zhang Yu paused for a while. Then he burst into laughter suddenly, his eyes brimming with tears.

Throughout the night, the cells reeked of alcohol. The prisoners held here drank until they were dead drunk. Zhang Yu began muttering, “My son is still so young. Let me go and make amends to the family members alone.”

After a long while, the sounds of intoxicated rambling stopped.

The next morning, something happened that made the head jailer jump in fury. Zhang Huaian had disappeared.

“Dammit! Where is he? Where did he go? Speak! Otherwise I will skin you alive!” With veins bulging on his forehead, the head jailer grabbed Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood like a dead dog, and threatened.

A living person had just disappeared under his nose. If the City Lord found out, the head jailer could forget about keeping his rice bowl.
