Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Return of the 'Dead

Seeing Chen San wielding a knife, everyone in the subway gasped, and some women started screaming. They could almost foresee the sight of Lu Yu's blood splattering five steps away in the next moment!

Faced with Chen San stabbing forward with the knife, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, but his body showed no intention of dodging.

To him, this knife posed no threat at all.

Just as the knife point reached him, he moved!

With lightning speed, Lu Yu's left hand struck, swiftly parrying the knife from Chen San's hand. His wrist flipped in that instant, directly grabbing Chen San's wrist and twisting it sharply!

Crack!

In a split second, a tooth-grinding sound echoed, and at a glance, Chen San's arm had gone limp, his knife fell to the ground, and he started howling in pain!

Despite Chen San's howls, Lu Yu's movements did not cease; he suddenly delivered a punch straight to Chen San's face!

Bang!

With a dull thud, blood immediately gushed from Chen San's nose.

"Just you wait until I tell Brother Peng..." Having taken the punch, Chen San covered his nose and began to speak.

"Still daring to talk back!?"

Hearing Chen San's words, Lu Yu retorted coldly, then sharply slapped Chen San's face.

Slap!

With a crisp sound, Chen San's face instantly swelled, revealing a crimson handprint.

"Kid..."

Slap! Slap! Slap!

After several crisp slaps, Lu Yu went to town on both sides of Chen San's face, instantly causing his entire head to swell and knocking him unconscious.

The passengers were all astounded seeing this; the seemingly big and tough Chen San was pinned to the ground by the seemingly skinny Lu Yu, making them feel a strong sense of shock.

At that moment, seeing Chen San unconscious, Lu Yu released his grip on Chen San and slowly stood up, returning to his seat, as the beast-like aura around him gradually calmed down, maintaining his silence.

Chen San's face was now swollen like a pig's head, lying motionless on the ground, an extremely shocking sight.

The girl from earlier looked at Lu Yu, her face full of shock.

After recovering from the shock, the girl slowly sat beside Lu Yu and softly said, "Thank you for helping me, my name is Xia Bing."

"No problem, just a small effort. I'm Lu Yu," Lu Yu nodded and replied upon hearing the girl's voice.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Xia Bing was slightly touched and memorized the name.

"Is this your first time in Lin'an? Where are you headed? Perhaps I can help you," Xia Bing asked, looking at Lu Yu's simple luggage at his feet, her words carrying a slight nervousness as it was her first time asking a stranger such a question.

"Yixian Public Cemetery."

Upon hearing Xia Bing's question, Lu Yu replied straightforwardly, with a tone that wasn't as cold as before but rather had a touch of warmth.

"Yixian Public Cemetery..."

Repeating Lu Yu's words, Xia Bing felt a slight tinge of loss for reasons unknown.

"Mm."

Hearing Xia Bing's voice, Lu Yu softly mm'd, as a response, and then the conversation ceased.

When the subway reached the station, Lu Yu directly picked up his luggage and walked off.

And as he left the subway, all the passengers slowly breathed a sigh of relief, each relaxing gradually.

Just now, the fierce aura that exploded from Lu Yu seemed like a stone pressing on their hearts, only easing when he got off the subway, allowing them to breathe easier.

...

Arriving at the Yixian Public Cemetery, Lu Yu glanced at the nice scenery of the cemetery before him, a bitter smile unwittingly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He shook his head and directly approached his parents' tombstones, kneeling down heavily, and began with: "Dad! Mom! Your unfilial son Lu Yu, has returned alive!"

At this moment, Lu Yu spoke with deep sorrow, his words choking with emotion.

It was all due to his youthful ignorance, causing his parents endless worry; only when he understood did he realize it was too late for regret!

Lu Yu was the sole heir of the renowned Lu Family in LA City. Five years ago, he was also famously a playboy, as the power held by the Lu Family in LA City shaped his arrogant, domineering personality during his youth, concerning his parents greatly!

At the time, everyone thought Lu Yu would live his life as a haughty little heir, but it all came to an abrupt halt five years ago!

Five years ago, Lu Yu's Lu Family collapsed overnight. Not only did his parents, the Patriarchs of the Lu Family, mysteriously die overnight, but the vast assets of the Lu Family were quickly divided by unknown parties.

Following that, Lu Yu began to be pursued by some mysterious people. During one such chase, he was knocked unconscious, only to wake and find himself stranded on an unknown deserted island, where he stayed for five years!

Within five years, the harsh wilderness and absolute jungle laws transformed Lu Yu from an entitled playboy into a strongly capable and composed assassin!

If it weren't for a fishing boat approaching the deserted island ten days ago, Lu Yu would still be on that desolate island, waiting to die!

"Dad! Mom! Thank you; without you, I wouldn't have survived on the deserted island," Lu Yu slowly removed a spiral-shaped transparent container from his neck, then placed it before his parents' tombstone and said.

"In dire circumstances, drink the liquid inside here. With it, you can survive even in the harshest environments!"

Looking at the old transparent container in front of him, Lu Yu's mind echoed his parents' words from his birthday five years ago.

Perhaps his parents foresaw that something would happen to him, which is why they gave him such a gift on his birthday five years ago.

Undeniably, since Lu Yu drank the liquid inside the container in a moment of despair, he felt his body growing stronger day by day, even his mind becoming sharper.

The mysterious liquid's benefits helped Lu Yu grow quickly during numerous battles with beasts on the island, allowing him to survive for five years and develop quite formidable skills!

"Dad, Mom, rest assured, your son is not what he used to be; no longer the Lu Yu who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. I will surely investigate what happened five years ago! No matter who they are, I will make them pay a bloody price!"

At this moment, Lu Yu slowly knelt before his parents' tombstone, after knocking his head several times he slowly got up and walked out of the Yixian Public Cemetery.
