“I must ensure uniqueness!”
Lu Yu’s voice reverberated in the middle-aged man’s ears, causing his face to turn extremely pale.
Lu Yu was too calm, yet there was something terrifying about him!
“How could it possibly be the only one!” the middle-aged man stammered, his voice trembling. “Sir, I’ve already given you the formula. Are you going to take my life as well?”
He knows the formula; he can refine it.
To be unique, he must never speak.
But only the dead remain silent.
If he were caught, would he possibly reveal nothing in order to save his life?
If the formula is revealed, who can guarantee that another method of extraction won’t emerge in this world?
You have to ensure the uniqueness of the recipe; that could only happen if he were dead!
Lu Yu shook his head and said, “I have no interest in your life! I only hope that you can ensure the exclusivity of this formula—no one else in this world, besides me, will ever obtain it.”
“Mr., how could that be possible,” the middle-aged man raised his hand, his voice trembling continuously as he spoke, “Unless I die, this formula will always be known only by you and me. I can only guarantee that my younger generations won’t know about it, but there’s no way I can erase my own memory.”
A cold chill flickered in Lu Yu’s eyes as he said, “Then there’s only one way left… you must die!”
The middle-aged man’s heart quivered.
He suddenly realized that what he was holding in his hand was not a treasure, but a death warrant!
When he got it, he was only thinking about making money, but he forgot that there are some things no one is willing to share with others.
Especially the formula for the evolution fluid, no one would want a second person to possess it once they have obtained it themselves.
When Lu Yu uttered the word “death,” the middle-aged man lost all hope, and his expression turned deathly pale.
“Die, must I really die?” the middle-aged man laughed bitterly. “I finally understand what it means to say ‘a man dies for wealth.’ For the sake of riches, I truly forgot about the danger. What I possess is the Grim Reaper, a death god who takes one’s own life. If I can’t keep this secret, I will have no choice but to die!”
The middle-aged man lost all hope. After hearing Lu Yu’s words, he knew his days were numbered.
That paper is not a star treasure; it will not vanish along with death.
Therefore, Lu Yu wanted to kill him to obtain the recipe as well.
Lu Yu stood still in his place, silently watching the middle-aged man, waiting for his answer.
“If I were to die, could you ensure the safety of my nephews and their children?”
“As long as they don’t do evil, whoever dares to harm me will be killed by me!” Lu Yu replied in a domineering tone, exuding boundless killing intent.
“Good, very good.” The middle-aged man took the recipe back into his hands and respectfully handed it to Lu Yu, saying, “If it were anyone else, I would certainly insist on a duel. However, I trust in Mr. Lu’s reputation—you always keep your word. As for the payment for this transaction of the recipe, please trouble Mr. Lu to give it to my juniors instead.”
The middle-aged man had already guessed Lu Yu’s identity, but since Lu Yu didn’t want to talk about it, he never dared to mention it.
By now, it’s the same whether I say it or not.
Lu Yu took the recipe, glanced at it, and then placed it into his storage space. He said, “Rest assured about that. Even if you die, I will still honor our agreement, and the money you’re owed will definitely be paid.”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, drew out the Star Soldier, and turned it around to press against his own chest.
Death—
Perhaps with one sword strike, it would end quickly.
But how many people are truly capable of delivering that decisive strike?
How many people have the courage to commit suicide?
The middle-aged man held the sword, staring blankly at the tip of the blade, unable to bring himself to strike the fatal blow.
Lu Yu didn’t say a word, remaining rooted to the spot without moving.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yu, originally hoping that Lu Yu would suddenly stop him. But now it seemed he had been too naive.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, threw the Star Soldier to the ground, and said solemnly, “Mr. Lu, I will never leave Fanggang for the rest of my life! If you want exclusivity, I’ll help you produce the evolution serum. Would that work? My only request is that you guarantee the lives and safety of my several nephews. I hope they can qualify to be listed in the first-tier category of Fanggang. Once there’s danger again, they will have a place to seek refuge.”
The safest place in this world is Fanggang.
The most reliable place is the first domain; once its defenses are activated, they become impregnable.
This is a city that hundreds of thousands of warriors have spent days testing, an indestructible city.
If the apocalypse were to come again, Fanggang would be the safest place to be.
“Okay,” Lu Yu said, his lips curling up slightly. “I’ll grant you access to the core area, but someone will be watching you constantly. Your activities are limited to the first zone. And if you want to go outside, my guards must accompany you—I don’t want anything unexpected happening to you. As for those young people, don’t worry. I’ll repeat myself—so long as they don’t break the law, anyone who dares to touch them will be killed by me!”
Lu Yu didn’t want to kill anyone.
In such a world, you must be ruthless enough.
If a middle-aged man doesn’t make a final choice, he must die!
Now that Lu Yu had agreed, the middle-aged man’s face finally regained its color.
Lu Yu had always been waiting for this answer from him.
He would not force himself to die, but in order to ensure the exclusivity of the formula, he had to make some cruel decisions.
“But—” the middle-aged man frowned and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m afraid people from various factions are already surrounding this stone house. How do you plan to leave?”
Lu Yu remained calm and coldly said, “I don’t need anyone’s permission to leave here. If you have any objections, come and fight!”
The middle-aged man listened to Lu Yu’s words, and all that remained was admiration.
Lu Yu was too calm, calm like a machine. And Lu Yu seemed more like a killing machine.
The middle-aged man stood in front of Lu Yu, always feeling as if he were facing the Grim Reaper himself.
Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Remember what you’ve said. If you dare to go back on your word, there are very few people in this world who can protect you. Even if you’re sheltered by a country’s military, I will still kill you.”
“Mr. Lu, I understand,” the middle-aged man replied with a nod.
Lu Yu stopped speaking and pushed open the stone house door first.
The sky had already turned dark, and the brilliant stars were shining, casting their light on everyone’s hair and shoulders.
It was very quiet all around.
Everyone was waiting for the person who would emerge from the stone house.
Although the stone house was large, its size was still limited. When the crowd became dense, only those in the innermost layers and some people standing at slightly higher positions could catch a glimpse of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu walked out with the middle-aged man, and immediately someone shouted, “Hey, friend! How much for your Evolution Serum formula?”
“There’s no need to ask about the price anymore; we’ll take it.”
A tall, burly man with bloodshot eyes and teeth resembling saw blades laughed sinisterly in the dark forest, saying, “Name your price, whatever amount, the Blood Eyes will accept it.”
All sorts of sounds arose from around.
Many people from large organizations and parts of the military have placed bids.
They hadn’t even clearly seen the faces of the two people who walked out of the stone house; it was merely based on their initial impression.
However, as they gradually recognized the faces of the two people approaching, many people’s expressions changed.
Not everyone knows Lu Yu, and that’s fine—only a part of them need to.
Chen Long pointed at Lu Yu and said, “Big brother, it’s him who bought our stuff!”
Zuo Haiyan snarled, “Good, very good. You’re quite lucky to be seen here.”
A representative of the British military felt his scalp tingling as he exclaimed, “What? How is that possible? It’s actually him!”
Some organizational experts also recognized Lu Yu and grimaced, saying, “Oh no. Out of all people, I had to fall into his hands.”
A blonde beauty saw Lu Yu, immediately shook her head, and smiled at a black man beside her, saying, “Still want to fight for it?”
The black man stood there stunned for a while, wishing he could just crash into something and die.
“Snatch it? How can you snatch it?”
The black man was helpless. It was still a step too late.
Some people can be taken by force, while others are beyond your reach.
Right now, for instance, they wouldn’t dare to move even if you told them to.
The middle-aged man beside Lu Yu stepped forward ahead of time, clasped his fists, and said, “I’m truly sorry, everyone. I’ve already sold the recipe. As they say, goods aren’t sold to two buyers. Please don’t even think I’ll sell it again.”
When the middle-aged man said that, several young people in front of the stone house immediately cheered up.
They succeeded.
With two hundred billion Star Spirit Stones and other resources, they could at the very least establish a power no weaker than the Qin family’s.
One person looked at Lu Yu coldly and said, “Friend, don’t you think it’s a bit much for you to take the formula for the evolution serum all by yourself? Do you really have the means to pay for it?”
Lu Yu glanced around calmly and said, “I can certainly afford the money; you don’t need to worry about that. I’m here simply to ask whether any of you have objections to me owning this formula.”
“Nature has its own opinion,” a black wolf said arrogantly as it swaggered forward. “I’ve heard that refining the evolution serum requires a large amount of Starlight Essence and also a Blue Planet Soul. Do you have them?”
Lu Yu said coldly, “It’s none of your business. I’ve bought the formula, so how to use it is not your concern.”
“What?” The black wolf let out a fierce howl, its eyes wide with fury, its black fur bristling as waves of powerful force surged toward Lu Yu.
With the power of two thousand Zun, the might was incomparably domineering.
“Oh.”
“Puh!”
Many people around the black wolf were sent reeling back, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, their faces filled with terror.
A fifth-stage black wolf, and yet there are still such powerful humanoid beings coming to this trading fair.
The black wolf’s fur moved slightly with the breeze, sending shivers down one’s spine.
It stepped closer to Lu Yu, its wolf eyes glowing green, and said, “Dare you say that again?”
“Once is enough!” Lu Yu said, watching the black wolf take a step forward.
Boom!
Lu Yu acted before the black wolf could.
The black wolf’s fur suddenly stood on end. In an instant, it sensed the aura of death emanating from Lu Yu.
How many people would have to be killed to accumulate so much malevolent energy!
Everyone saw Lu Yu make his move as his hand pressed down toward the black wolf’s crown.
Vroom!
Lu Yu pressed down with his palm, compressing the turbulent airflow into a deep blue liquid.
These liquids shot out in all directions between Lu Yu’s five fingers, emitting a whistling sound.
Countless people witnessed the air beneath Lu Yu’s palm being compressed and exploding, as if the void itself was collapsing, shattering into pieces.
The black wolf couldn’t help but let out a mournful howl, crying out in pain.
He could no longer move.
The pressure from Lu Yu’s palm was too terrifying, far surpassing his strength.
Four thousand zuns, this is the power of four thousand zuns.
What kind of human is this? How could they be so terrifying?
People around looked at Lu Yu. They watched as the black wolf seemed to be bound by Lu Yu’s palm strike, unable to move.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s palm came down upon the black wolf’s crown, and everyone could see the wolf’s skull being crushed, with grayish-white liquid splattering in all directions.
The surroundings were deathly silent, with sharp hissing sounds piercing the ears.
Lu Yu shook the liquid off his hand and coldly said, “This is my answer. Does anyone need to hear it a second time?”
