Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1137: Heart Unlocked

”Damn!” Lu Xiaobu was completely dumbfounded.

This plot twist happened way too fast!

I haven’t even used a diversion tactic yet!

Why did the other guy kill his own partner so decisively?!

The Russian thug obviously didn’t have time to explain to Lu Xiaobu.

He tore a bloodied strip of cloth from his body, stuffed it into Lu Xiaobu’s mouth, then picked him up and charged outside!

His eyes were filled with excitement and fanaticism!

The legend is true! The legend is really true!

If he can break through human limits, why should he still follow orders?!

Sure, taking Lu Xiaobu out of the Heavenly Dynasty is almost impossible!

But what if he doesn’t leave?!

He could just find a place, slowly pry open Lu Xiaobu’s mouth, and as long as he can get the secret to surpass human limits.

By then, with the vast world, where couldn’t he go?!

Quickly, the Russian thug found a cave, and after throwing Lu Xiaobu inside, he carefully covered all the traces.

Finally, he returned to the cave, and now the look in his eyes toward Lu Xiaobu had completely changed, it was a look of seeing a treasure!

The greatest treasure in the world!

”Tell me your secret, where is that girl?! How did you gain this strength?” The Russian thug stared at Lu Xiaobu and asked, ”Also, don’t think about stalling for time, right now I’ve got more time than you! We can drag this out!”

”In that case, can we chat?” Lu Xiaobu looked at the thug, his eyes full of puzzlement.

”Sure, let’s chat slowly.” The thug didn’t mind.

The more words there are, the more mistakes, but as long as Lu Xiaobu talks, that’s good for him.

”Why?! So easily you killed your companion who just fought alongside you?!” Lu Xiaobu asked, ”Clearly, it was just speculation!”

He really didn’t understand.

Until now, he never mentioned that the Charging Shield was related to the little girl.

It was entirely the thug’s own speculation and imagination!

But just this bit of guessing made him act ruthlessly!

He couldn’t figure it out, he really couldn’t!

”So what?” The thug sneered, ”Firstly, we are not some damn companions!”

”Now I killed them, if they knew the situation, they would undoubtedly kill me too!”

”The kind of companionship loyalty you mentioned doesn’t exist among us!”

”You might not realize how enticing the strength you possess is. Once obtained, it can give access to everything in this world, wealth, women, power, everything!”

”Therefore, even for a one-in-a-million chance, I would act without hesitation!”

”Anyway, we’re mercenaries who live on the edge, even if not dead today, tomorrow could be our turn. Now there’s a chance, so why not take a gamble?!”

”Sigh!” Lu Xiaobu sighed, ”Then let me ask you, since mercenary life is like this, why choose to be one? Isn’t a peaceful life better?”

”Peaceful? If what you mean by peaceful is living an ordinary life, pandering and flattering the boss just for a bit of food! Sorry, no thanks!” The Russian thug said sitting on the ground.

”I’ve seen too much of how lower-class people survive, in Africa, in small war-torn countries, many eleven or twelve-year-old kids, perhaps they can’t read a few words, but they’re skilled in using guns!”

”This kind of life is ordinary for them! Don’t they want the peaceful life you talk about?! Not all countries are the Heavenly Dynasty!”

”Wouldn’t you act against such kids if you encountered them?” Lu Xiaobu sighed.

”Of course!” The Russian thug sneered, ”Save your compassionate facade! He’s just a kid, but he’s holding a gun, wouldn’t you kill him?! Yet he could kill you for a piece of bread!”

”But, to be fair, they are actually lucky, they have guns, they can resist! And those without guns, the so-called people who want a peaceful life, have no choice but to be exploited over and over again!”

”But, your life should be quite good! No worries about food and drink, even if you do nothing, you won’t starve!”

The Russian thug looked at Lu Xiaobu, grinning, ”What difference does it make? We trade our lives, you trade your brains!”

”So do you think people like us have a meaningful life?” Lu Xiaobu asked the Russian thug with a smile.

”You really are tough, you can still laugh in this situation.” The Russian thug chuckled, ”Why is it meaningless?! I want to break through human limits, and then step by step become the strongest!”

”Until I’m so strong that no one can beat me, then I can choose to do good or bad as I please! Wouldn’t that be great?!”

”What if you could do it all?” Lu Xiaobu asked again.

”Do it all?! Nonsense!” The Russian thug grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, ”Simple enough, you’re a man, you know what it’s like to have a woman! But do you know what it’s like for the woman you’re with?!”

”Have you ever experienced a bullet whistling past you?!”

”Do you know what it’s like to dance on the edge, where a single slip could kill you?!”

”Have you been to the deepest trenches?!”

”Have you been to outer space?!”

”Do you know what’s on the moon?!”

”Are you aware if there might be another world underground?!”

”You know nothing! Yet you dare say you’ve achieved everything?! Really naive!”

”This world is very fascinating, and yet you try to explain everything with your limited knowledge, it’s laughable!”

The Russian thug’s eyes were filled with mockery.

But his words suddenly left Lu Xiaobu in a daze!

”Crack!”

The knot in his heart, the barrier that troubled him, suddenly shattered!

The things he heard and saw during this time came together, forming his own answer!

Indeed! Why did he have the thought that life is uninteresting?!

This world is fascinating, and being able to eat and drink as you please, how could that be boring?!

The reason he felt life was tiring was just because he wasn’t living it freely!

So why not just live as freely as possible?!

He recalled the words of a thug he met at Wutai Mountain, why was he happier back then?!

Because at that time he was carefree!
