Chapter 133: Real Men Don't Cry
The bunch of mercenaries charging over at Luo Yunyang turned pale after the woman's death. The had only rushed over at Luo Yunyang because they had thought that he had run out of strength.
However, they hadn't expected that he would still have other tricks! The appearance of the flying knife crushed their last ounce of fighting spirit.
"Kneel or die!" Luo Yunyang's voice was still calm as he stood loftily on the shore. However, amidst that calmness was a might that could make one's heart shudder.
Tosun was the first to kneel. Although he was a savage, his savageness depended on whom he was facing.
Each and every mercenary knelt on the ground without daring to budge. In a flash, the throwing knife descended on their arms and legs.
The mercenaries didn't have any way to resist the knife, which was being controlled by Luo Yunyang's mind power. Although they were in immense pain, they didn't even dare make a sound.
Τhey were just pieces of meat, so Luo Yunyang, who was wielding the knife, had complete control over their lives. Thus, they didn't dare voice any complaints.
"He is really careful!" the old man on the peak said softly with a hint of admiration in his voice.
Alice, who had been staring at Luo Yunyang as she stood upright on the spot, said faintly, "I'm afraid that his body is having a hard time restoring its motion. That spear toss probably drained all his strength."
The old man's tone had a hint of dread as he said, "Even I would have found it difficult to dodge that spear, Miss. It was really terrifying!"
Alice didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Luo Yunyang in a new, peculiar light.
About 15 minutes later, Luo Yunyang finally recovered his ability to move and took a few slow steps towards the yacht. As he walked towards it, nobody dared make a sound.
Luo Yunyang reached the Ravenous Wolf. He had not expected that the Ravenous Wolf would pull that long metal spear out of his body before dying with his eyes wide open.
There were no bloodstains or any other evidence that the long spear had just killed someone. Although it was as heavy as ever, as Luo Yunyang held it, he felt as if there was a strong bond between them.
When he pushed open the door and saw the man strung up by his shoulder blades, he immediately felt anger surging in his heart.
When the man saw Luo Yunyang with his remaining eye, his expression was strange.
"Mr. Luo! I never expected to see you here. Ha ha ha... I... I am really happy."
When Luo Yunyang saw the one-eyed man, his previously calm demeanor became furious.
He was very familiar with this man. Although he didn't stand out from the crowd, he had been a part of the group that had walked out of the Sun & Moon Palace alive.
He might have suffered some serious injuries in Zu Long's tomb, but he had still managed to survive before being tormented this way!
"I have revealed quite a lot about the secret... prescription, Mr. Luo. I'm afraid... that this will cause the 13 Eastern Cities a huge loss. They transported me over a long distance to get a first-rate telekinesis master to search my mind. They didn't believe... me!"
"I know that I am guilty of a terrible crime. I have betrayed the 13 Eastern Cities, but... I didn't have a choice."
Tears started flowing out of the man's remaining eye. His tears were stained with blood.
"I should have remained loyal, but they have my daughter. She is only 13, Mr. Luo. I am her father..."
The man seemed to be inconsolable. He was gasping hard and breathing with difficulty due to the pain in his body, as well as the issue with his daughter. He seemed to be trying his hardest to breathe this way to alleviate the pain and avoid choking and dying. Luo Yunyang gazed at the man, who had been strung up by his shoulder blades. There was not a single good muscle left in his body, yet tears kept streaming out of his remaining eye socket.
Real men don't cry.
Although Luo Yunyang had always kept this phrase in the back of his mind, he realized that he didn't agree with it anymore.
"How were they able to capture and bring you here, when you are in the Sky High Military?" Luo Yunyang asked, grabbing the man's arm.
The man was still in disbelief. Luo Yunyang's Mind Attribute was high, so the other man couldn't compare to him. "Are you going to give up on saving your daughter?" Luo Yunyang asked.
"It was Nie Xin! He brought the people who captured me." The man gnashed his teeth as he spoke. His voice was filled with hatred.
Nie Xin? Luo Yunyang was only familiar with the surname, yet when he heard it, a frigid expression flickered across his eyes.
"Is that the Nie Family?" Luo Yunyang asked solemnly, looking straight at the other man.
"Yes, it is. I never expected that they would do such a thing!" The man shook his damaged arms in a somewhat deranged, painful manner, causing droplets of blood to trickle out of his wounds.
"Do not fret. The future is long and unpredictable," Luo Yunyang said as he walked to the man's front.
"I am already exhausted, Mr. Luo. My light is fading. They used special methods to keep me alive. The only reason I endured so far was the hope of seeing my daughter live on." The man's mind was becoming clearer by the second. His expression was also much calmer now.
"I was really foolish. How could I believe them? They would have just killed me and then hurt my daughter..."
The man, who had just calmed down, flared up once again. The many wounds on his body looked aggravated.
Luo Yunyang shook his head gently as he watched the demented man. Although he had a wood-based life source core, the man's current injuries were too serious. His light was indeed fading. He simply had no chance of surviving.
Outside the yacht, a mercenary who ran out into the sea in an effort to flee was cut in two by Luo Yunyang's throwing knife.
Tosun and the others, who had started to get restless, became even more scared. They all kept kneeling down. They no longer dared act without thinking.
"Mr. Luo, I... Please bury me... in the ocean. I am too ashamed to return to the East!" The man slowly calmed down. The pupil of his remaining eye was now expressionless.
Luo Yunyang nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, Liu Cai. If your daughter is still alive, I will save her."
When he heard Luo Yunyang's promise, Liu Cai, who was still pinned to the pillar, relaxed completely. His mouth curled up into a relieved smile.
Luo Yunyang remained silent. He just watched as Liu Cai, who had suffered all kinds of torture, passed away in silence. He felt as though a raging wildfire had combusted in his heart.
This combustion was even more violent than the one he had felt when he had heard that the prescription had been stolen!
