It was a mere misunderstanding. Malicious Four was not acting, nor was he genuinely sad.
It could only be attributed to Lu Shu’s creativity in the use of his water power. Lu Xiaoyu was aware of his awakening, which explained the sudden change in his hair color earlier. She had difficulty figuring out, though, why Lu Shu’s understanding of magic powers was drastically different from hers, despite their common experience of watching Naruto…
Luckily, Lu Xiaoyu had not heard of Lu Shu’s magnificent feat of crowning Chen Zuan with the titles “Shower-head Chen” and “Ten Splits Chen”. If not, she would have looked at Lu Shu in another light…
However, Li Yixiao was completely ignorant of all this. He only found it unexpected to be on a boat of madmen. As for Lu Shu, he was having loads of fun controlling the flow of water in their bodies, as he concentrated it in their tear glands and had it roll out as tears.
It was indeed a touching scene, two experienced men recounting their heart-rending life stories. But this effect would not have been achieved if Lu Shu had been absent…
Whomever Lu Shu fixed his gaze on would cry!
Even Malicious Four himself found his abnormal crying patterns inexplicable…
Now, Li Yixiao’s heart was softened by sympathy. How could he kill someone he somehow resonated with…
He sighed, and turned his head to Malicious Four, “How much longer?”
With tears on his cheeks, he replied, “Ten minutes.”
Li Yixiao quipped, “You are probably the most sentimental man I’ve ever seen in so many years… Even Feng Yeming cannot be compared to you…”
One’s nose would be blocked as a chain reaction from stimulated tear glands. Thus, at present, Malicious Four could not even spit his words out coherently…
The fishing boat sailed further into the darkness on the open sea. Suddenly, the twinkling lights of a cargo liner came into view. Ten plus people were silhouetted against the railings and waited for the approaching boat.
Malicious Four immediately ordered his minions to steer their boat towards it, and signaled to the liner using his torch light. This time, he flashed seven times, six short and one long, this meant the clients backgrounds were unclear and they were unable to take action. The other side signaled back, roger.
When they came closer, Lu Shu realized the other ship was enormous. People on the deck rolled down a rope for Lu Shu and the rest to climb up with, while a few boxes were suspended down to Malicious Four’s boat on another rope. That was their cargo to be traded inland.
In the end, Li Yixiao spared their lives. He wanted to conduct a thorough check up on those people after he got back.
But Lu Shu’s opinion differed. Only he and Lu Xiaoyu knew the true source of their tears.
A light shone down on the fishing boat, those on the cargo ship were astounded to see Malicious Four’s eyes wet with tears, as though he was unwilling to part with them. They threw Li Yixiao a startled look, “Are you Malicious Four’s family? I thought he had no one left?”
As expected, he was weeping for the loss of his family… Li Yixiao mused.
The boat sailed away after the loading of the cargo. Lu Shu locked the leaving boat in his frosty stare, as his energy started circulating while Lu Xiaoyu was quiet beside him. When it floated out of their sight, Malicious Four and all his minions suddenly felt an immense pressure from within their bodies. In a split second, the veins in their brains ruptured, and the six bodies erupted into a rain of blood.
In the next instant, the lapping sea water suddenly turned into saws, which quickly cut the boat into pieces. But no sounds broke the midnight silence.
Along with the boat, all their sins would be buried deep in the seabed. Lu Xiaoyu captured each of their souls and shattered them again and cursed them to eternal damnation
Lu Shu turned and led Lu Xiaoyu further into the boat. He took a glance at the hull and whispered, “Is this the correct one?”
