Chapter 1107 - Underling
Chapter 1107: Underling
Lu Shu was very sure that he had never seen Li Junyi before. No. He might have seen him in a crowd, but had never interacted with him.
But he knew who Lu Shu was. If not, he would not have knelt when Lu Shu went back to his original appearance…
Lu Shu and Li Junyi knew what was happening, but Nakagawa Masaharu and Oda Masako were dumbfounded when Li Junyi knelt down!
No matter whether they actually relied on Li Junyi, both of them knew that once the mark of the slave was imposed on them, they would not be able to eliminate it. They would not be able to endure the pain.
Li Junyi, a Class A expert, was very sure that this would not go wrong.
What was a Class A on Earth? Class A was the top!
The Collection of Gods was massive, with thousands of Practitioners, but Sakurai Yaeko was the only Class A.
Although the Heavenly Network was called the strongest combat power on the Earth, they only had four Class A’s.
Under these circumstances, when a Class A slave owner came from the Luniverse, Nakagawa Masaharu subconsciously treated the Luniverse as a greater civilization.
There was nothing wrong with this. If the Earth and the Luniverse fought, the Earth would not be able to win.
Thus, for ambitious people like Nakagawa Masaharu whose strength and desires did not complement each other, they would want to cozy up to the Luniverse.
But Lu Shu felt that Nakagawa Masaharu had played the wrong cards. He might not be sure what the mark of a slave meant. Nakagawa Masaharu might have thought that he would be able to eliminate the mark of the slave when he became stronger, while not fully understanding the mark of a slave. But Lu Shu could tell him that it was not possible.
Even the master under Duanmu Huangqi was unable to eliminate the mark of a slave, let alone a minor character like Nakagawa Masaharu.
No matter what, this did not prevent Li Junyi from becoming a great person to Nakagawa Masaharu.
But now, this great person was kneeling in front of Lu Shu, shouting, “Spare me, great lord!”
Nakagawa Masaharu suddenly realized that someone powerful had probably taken on the appearance of Kajiyama Hiroshu. Thus, Sakurai Yaeko was not as weak as they had imagined. Furthermore, the person who Sakurai Yaeko had hugged was not the real Kajiyama Hiroshu. It was the person behind the mask.
Who was this person? Nakagawa Masaharu felt that he could not accept this reality. He seemed younger than him. Why was he able to achieve so much?!
From the look of things, this young man had gone over there. Furthermore, he had occupied a top position!
But Lu Shu did not care about what Nakagawa Masaharu thought of him. To Lu Shu, Nakagawa Masaharu was a factor that he could completely ignore.
Lu Shu asked, “Where have you seen me?”
“I saw you the first time you brought the Wei Wu Army into Nangeng City,” said Li Junyi in a low voice. “Back then, I was ordered to disguise myself as a traveling businessman and blend in. I wanted to understand your actions.”
“Oh.” Lu Shu said, “Was I targeted even then?”
Li Junyi suddenly wailed. “Minor characters like us have always been bullied. We rely on other powers so that we can survive. Please be compassionate. We don’t have a choice. When I was young, I…”
Lu Shu impatiently interrupted him. “How miserable your past was will only allow me to understand what kind of person you are, but it will not wipe your misdeeds clean. Whose life is not difficult? If your life is difficult, does it mean that you can have no morals?”
Li Junyi knelt down even lower. He did not dare to attack Lu Shu, as he knew how strong Lu Shu was!
Lu Shu’s fame in the Luniverse was far beyond what the people on Earth could imagine.
While those on Earth who knew about the situation felt that the Luniverse was strong, many people in the Luniverse feared Lu Shu. No matter whether it was the Day of Blood at the palace, or the massacre of the Black Feather Army, the amount of blood on Lu Shu’s hands caused people to fear him.
Although Li Junyi was a Class A, was he as strong as the patrons? He did not belong to Duanmu Huangqi. More accurately, he did not even know who he belonged to.
But he knew that even a Rank One expert like him was just a pawn.
Nakagawa Masaharu felt that Li Junyi was amazing, but Li Junyi himself knew that Lu Shu had killed 12 people stronger than him in one night. A minor character Nakagawa Masaharu paid no attention to was famous for his ferocity in the Luniverse!
His power caused people to fall into despair, as you did not even know how to defeat him. So this was the strongest person besides the masters!
Lu Shu casually asked, “Whose orders are you listening to?”
Li Junyi replied to him frankly. “We are underlings. We receive resources and techniques, then wait for assignments. We are not allowed to ask for reasons. We are not allowed to ask anything. All we have to do is to carry out our tasks. We don’t know whose orders we are listening to. Two months ago, we suddenly received an order to learn various languages. A teacher who is familiar with the land of forefathers was hired. Then, we patiently waited for the plan to be carried out.”
Lu Shu was slightly disappointed. He had wanted to catch the slave owner to know what was happening behind the scenes,
But his answer shocked Lu Shu. The enemy had nurtured so many Rank One underlings. This had exceeded that of Duanmu Huangqi’s efforts!
Lu Shu curiously asked, “We discovered another slave owner in Kun City, but the moment he was discovered, he poisoned himself. Why are you still alive?”
“I am afraid of dying,” said Li Junyi in a small voice.
“You are rather honest.” Lu Shu paused for two seconds and took out a coin. “Let’s play a game of guessing the coin. If you are right, you may live. If you are wrong, you will die.”
As Lu Shu spoke, he flicked the coin into the air. Then, he stretched out and caught the coin. “Guess. When was this coin produced?”
Li Junyi was speechless.
“From Li Junyi’s distress, +999!”
In an instant, Li Junyi took out a dagger from his sleeve and charged towards Lu Shu. He attacked not because he knew that they would fight to the death. From the very beginning, he had not planned to give in. He had been waiting for an opportunity.
But he was disappointed. From the very beginning, Lu Shu had never been careless. He had not given him a chance either.
Nakagawa Masaharu and the rest did not know, but Li Junyi knew very well that no matter how low he knelt, Lu Shu had always been alert and sharp. It was as if his sharpness could kill!
Li Junyi tried to deliver the fatal blow, but he was once again disappointed. The moment he got up, Lu Shu acted faster than him. He pressed Li Junyi’s neck and sent him to the ground.
A Rank One expert had a strong physique. When Li Junyi was sent to the ground, the ground had cracked, but his neck had not fractured.
But… it was of no use!
Li Junyi felt the Concealed Arrow piercing through his head like a jade needle.
Nakagawa Masaharu was so amazed that he forgot to run away. He did not expect a Class A expert to be killed in just one move!
Nakagawa Masaharu had never seen such a tyrannical and invincible person in his entire life.
Suddenly, he thought of something. No wonder Sakurai Yaeko went to hug him. This was not the male version of Cinderella. When the king returned, even the leader of the Collection of Gods fell for him.
