Standing next to Wang Tao was a young man named Wang Jianming, who was Wang Jianming’s beloved son.
Wang Jianming’s appearance isn’t particularly handsome, but he has a broad, square face that is quite pleasant to look at. During a certain period of pain and helplessness, he channeled his pent-up energy into sports, which resulted in him developing a very strong physique. Now, he has become quite the impressive figure of a man.
Last night, under Wang Tao’s strong recommendation and given the current special circumstances, Wang Jianming put on a military uniform and officially became a soldier.
Wang Tao has his own ambitions!
He knew that in this post-apocalyptic world, the future would belong to the strong.
Becoming a soldier, combined with personal strength and the training from his father, could enable the son to stand out in this era.
He doesn’t expect his son to become a powerful leader; as long as his son can hold a high-ranking position such as a division commander someday, he will feel his life has not been lived in vain.
Wang Tao brought his son along today to help him become familiar with the camp and to talk to him about military discipline, hoping that his son would cherish this opportunity.
After last night’s great victory, the camp finally came alive and was no longer dull. With the army’s support, Wang Tao stood straighter and spoke with more confidence.
However, when Wang Tao saw Lu Yu, his good mood was immediately replaced by thoughts of the bet they had made yesterday.
However, a single sentence from Lu Yu caused the faces of the father and son to twist in anguish.
Very few people know the story behind this.
The two of them weren’t worried about the matter getting out. However, as a man, lacking a part of “that thing,” such a humiliation was utterly intolerable and unforgivable.
Wang Tao took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yu, saying, “I remember that yesterday we had a bet between us. When we made the bet, we agreed that if you got the monster information from the food warehouse and came back alive, I would let you kick me once.”
“Dad, you actually took this bet too?” Wang Jianming said, feigning realization, as he looked at his father in astonishment. “But this morning, Uncle Liu sent a team of a hundred people there, right? I figured that a hundred people should be able to bring back the data at the very least, maybe even transport back food supplies as well. If that’s the case, wouldn’t this bet become meaningless?”
“Yeah, yeah,” Wang Tao sneered, looking at Lu Yu. “Yesterday’s bet only mentioned the punishment if I lost. I forgot to ask—what happens if you lose?”
“But I didn’t lose,” Lu Yu shrugged and said, “Since you mentioned that someone has already gone, I guess there’s nothing for me to do. In other words, there’s no need to fight this bet anymore.”
Wang Tao snorted coldly and said, “Lu Yu, do you really think it’s that easy to just let this go? Back then, we made a bet that if you could retrieve the documents, you’d get to kick me once. Now, since someone else got the documents, it’s the same as you not getting them at all. If you didn’t get the documents, that means you lost. And if you lost, then you should be punished, right?”
Wang Jianming finally understood what his father was thinking. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he said, “Lu Yu, you’re a man. Therefore, if you’re willing to take the bet, you should be willing to accept the consequences. If you lose, there must be a punishment.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is,” Lu Yu said. “Are the two of you planning to settle the score from a year ago today?”
“This has absolutely nothing to do with any grudges,” Wang Tao laughed. “This time you lost, so there should be a punishment. If you had won, you would have kicked me once. Now that I’ve won, shouldn’t I kick you once too? However, I won’t be as ruthless as you were. There are so many people here—just a slap will do, and then you say, ‘I lost.'”
“How generous!” Lu Yu chuckled, saying, “We should really thank Captain Wang; you truly have a kind heart and a generous nature!”
Lu Yu remained calm, as if the incident had not happened to him at all.
A large crowd had already gathered around.
Many people only know that Lu Yu possesses a Star Soldier, but they don’t actually know Lu Yu himself.
Lin Ting also hurried over.
So many people had gathered at the camp that she thought something significant must have happened.
After realizing this, she immediately stepped forward and said, “Captain Wang, please mind your position.”
“Officer Lin, I’ve already been very cautious about my identity. However, this is a personal bet between individuals, so I suggest you don’t get involved,” Wang Tao said with an unhappy expression as he looked at Lin Ting.
“Yeah, Officer Lin. At that time, when my dad made the bet with him, if he lost, he would have to let him kick once. Now, my dad just slapped him. Please, why don’t you just let it go?” Wang Jianming looked at Lin Ting from the side, his eyes slowly moving down from her face, from her fair neck to her chest, then to her abdomen, and finally to her long legs.
Wang Jian’s eyes gleamed with extraordinary brilliance, as if he were gazing at the red silk body.
Lin Ting noticed Wang Jianming’s gaze, her face instantly blushing slightly as she instinctively recoiled a step backward.
Wang Jianming, however, pretended to look serious as he turned to Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, from your tone, it seems like you’re very reluctant to admit defeat. Of course, if you’re willing to admit that you’re not a real man, I could also have my father help you avoid that slap.”
Lu Yu was immediately surprised and said, “How could that be! I’m a complete man, of course I must take responsibility.”
Lu Yu emphasized the word “complete” so heavily that it made Wang Tao and his father clench their teeth in irritation, wishing they could slap him to death.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao smiled, stepped forward, stood beside Lu Yu, and reached out his hand, saying, “Stand still now, don’t let one slap knock you out.”
“Of course not,” Lu Yu laughed. “Unless you can slap me so hard that I drop dead, how could I ever fall down?”
Wang Tao raised his hand, and his expression became even more contorted.
A year’s worth of anger, hatred, and humiliation surged into his heart in an instant.
Vroom!
The slap was so forceful that everyone could hear the air crackling from the impact.
Many people’s scalps were tingling, feeling how hard that slap was.
Snap!
The slap landed on Lu Yu’s face like a bear’s paw, splitting the skin. Blood streaks immediately appeared on his face, then burst open, bleeding.
A drop of crimson blood dripped from the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth.
Then the bloodstain rapidly contracted, the skin regenerated, and everything was restored to its original state.
After delivering a slap, Wang Tao felt much better and said, “There’s also a line about admitting defeat—don’t forget that.”
“I lost.” Lu Yu chuckled lightly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I indeed didn’t get the documents, so I admit defeat. Hehe, are the two of you satisfied now?”
Wang Jianming chuckled beside him and said, “Satisfied now? Lu Yu, consider this a warning. If you’re going to gamble next time, at least know your limits. A man should take responsibility, but if you keep losing like this, you’ll soon lose every bit of your dignity as a man.”
“Yeah, I understand,” Lu Yu said with a smile, as if he didn’t mind the slap at all. He shook his neck a couple of times and said, “Well then, let’s settle our old accounts next.”
“Old account?” Wang Tao and Wang Jianming were both taken aback and asked in unison, “Haven’t we already settled our old accounts?”
Lu Yu said in surprise, “How could there be nothing? You two must have forgotten due to your lofty status and busy schedules. Don’t you recall that a year ago, I said if there ever came a day when the law no longer existed, I would certainly demand Wang Jianming’s life in exchange for mine?”
Lu Yu was laughing.
However, everyone could see the icy coldness in Lu Yu’s eyes.
Lu Yu’s smile was gradually fading away. On this handsome face, only icy coldness remained; his eyes were glowing with a blood-red light, as vivid as blood itself.
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
A life for a life!
Lu Yu is going to kill someone!
“Do you really think I’ve forgotten what was said a year ago, or do you truly believe that everything you did back then could simply erase it all?” Lu Yu’s arm trembled slightly, beginning to rise.
Several people behind Wang Tao suddenly quickened their pace and instinctively stepped forward to block in front of him.
“Get the hell out of here!” Lu Yu roared. Suddenly, he lunged forward and swung his right leg in a wide arc, sending all three men blocking Wang Tao flying through the air.
He did not hold back on this kick.
An attack power exceeding a thousand is no joke; even three people couldn’t withstand that single kick.
People even heard the sound of bones cracking in midair from the three individuals.
When Wang Jianming saw Lu Yu’s face, he suddenly recalled the expression on Lu Yu’s face from a year ago when he had secretly escaped.
At that time, Lu Yu had exactly this kind of expression.
Then, not even the police could prevent him from getting hurt.
Wang Tao took a step forward, instinctively shielding his son, and pointed at Lu Yu, saying, “Lu Yu, don’t dare. There is law here now, and soldiers present, and there is military discipline.”
Clap!
Lu Yu raised his right hand and directly grabbed Wang Tao’s arm.
“Don’t give me that crap about the law. If the law could have handled it, your son would have been locked up back then, and you’d have been brought down too. You had power back in the day, fine—but without the law now, you’re nobody.”
Lu Yu suddenly tightened his grip and spun Wang Tao around!
Under countless watching eyes, Lu Yu swung a person weighing around a hundred pounds as easily as if he were handling a piece of pork, and then slammed him heavily onto the ground.
Bang!
Wang Tao’s body was smashed onto the ground, and he could even hear the cracking sound of his bones all over his body.
He could feel that his sternum was completely shattered and all his ribs were broken. He felt as though his limbs no longer belonged to him.
The strength of 300 in bones and sinews couldn’t withstand Lu Yu’s powerful throw, and his blood, once at 600, instantly dropped to merely 110.
“This… how is this possible?” Wang Tao’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He lost 490 health points from just one hit. How much attack power does Lu Yu actually have?
“Oh, this can’t be real,” many people around gasped in shock.
He had also seen how brave Wang Tao was last night. After all, he used to be a police officer, so he still had some skills left.
A person dares to fight a wolf demon alone.
He may not be the strongest in the camp, but he is certainly at the level of an expert.
But in front of Lu Yu, was it really that pitiful?
They just haven’t seen Lu Yu in action before.
However, they had heard rumors about Lu Yu defeating a wolf demon with a single strike and emerging victorious from a bloody battle against the Black Demon Wolf.
But that was just something I heard.
They don’t know how powerful Lu Yu is.
However, seeing is believing!
Wang Tao was thus easily lifted up in a circle. They could even hear dozens, even hundreds, of bone fractures occurring in his body.
This blow was equivalent to crippling Wang Tao.
Wang Tao lay on the ground, screaming in pain.
His health hasn’t even dropped below one hundred yet, and his recovery is already quite fast.
But almost all the bones in his body were broken, so the recovery time would inevitably be longer.
“Buzz!”
Wang Jianming suddenly attacked from behind, throwing a punch toward Lu Yu’s back of the head.
Being hit in such a vital spot could potentially kill a person instantly.
Wang Jian, the renowned general, channeled all the hatred from the past year into this single punch. If he had the strength, he would even tear Lu Yu apart alive.
He is in good physical condition, but he is still a spoiled young man.
In Lu Yu’s eyes, Wang Jianming was nobody.
Wang Jianming’s fist had barely traveled halfway when Lu Yu sidestepped and kicked him in the stomach.
Wang Jianming clutched his stomach, staggering backward several steps. His stomach felt as if it had been shattered, and his face had already contorted into a twisted mess.
Lu Yu didn’t want Wang Jianming to die so quickly, so he didn’t kick him very hard.
“So your name is Wang Jianming, huh? You dare talk to me about responsibility? Hmph!” Lu Yu grabbed Wang Jianming by the collar with one hand and slapped him across the face.
