140: The knot is resolved

Chen Rui’s death did not stir much of a ripple in Lin Mu’s heart.

For Lin Mu now, returning to Blue Star was merely to resolve a lingering issue.

His expression flickered, and he was already above the Lu Corporation building.

This brilliantly lit building was now completely devoid of any vitality.

Lin Mu stretched out his palm and clapped in the air.

A giant palm descended from the sky.

With a tremendous roar,

this 23-story building collapsed.

The immense commotion instantly woke up the surrounding residents.

Many people thought it was an earthquake.

They all frantically ran outside.

When they reached the open ground outside,

they were immediately stunned by the sight before them.

How could the Lu Corporation building, once the nation’s largest enterprise, have collapsed into a pile of ruins?

Some bolder individuals cautiously approached to observe.

Suddenly, one of them shrieked and fell to the ground.

He cried out in terror, “There are dead people!”

The onlookers, hearing there were dead people, all took a few steps back.

Some picked up their phones and called the police.

However, Lin Mu could no longer see any of this.

At this moment, he had already teleported to the national border.

According to An An’s memory,

Lu Ziming was currently in Sakura Country.

Lin Mu set his sights on the direction of Sakura Country, and with a few teleports, he arrived there.

Once in Sakura Country, Lin Mu would not be so polite.

He unleashed his divine sense, instantly covering the entire Sakura Country.

At the same time,

everyone in Sakura Country, no matter where they were,

was pressed to the ground by a powerful coercion, unable to move.

They screamed in terror, thinking it was the end of the world.

Some even wet themselves out of fear.

In the capital of Sakura Country, inside a five-star hotel.

Two naked individuals, a man and a woman, were awkwardly facing each other on the bed.

The man appeared to be in his thirties.

It was precisely a man’s crucial age for maturing.

This person was Lu Ziming.

At this moment, he lay motionless on his young secretary.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move, but his body was forcibly held down, unable to budge.

This inexplicable, unknown fear made Lu Ziming feel afraid for the first time.

The last time he had such a feeling was when he conspired against his godfather.

Thinking of his godfather, Lu Ziming felt an inexplicable irritation.

Not seeing the body back then had always bothered him.

He always had the illusion that Lin Mu would return at any time to seek revenge.

However, ten years passed, and Lin Mu never appeared.

His illusion gradually faded.

But the sudden bizarre scene today made him immediately think of Lin Mu.

He couldn't help but shiver.

Just then, that invisible pressure suddenly disappeared.

He instantly regained his ability to move.

But at this point, Lu Ziming had no intention of continuing the intimacy.

He lazily put on his clothes, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

After a puff of cigarette, his emotions seemed to calm down a bit.

However, just then,

a somewhat unfamiliar, yet seemingly familiar voice rang out.

“I finally found you, my good son.”

Hearing this voice, Lu Ziming was so startled that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

His body suddenly stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, and his eyes immediately filled with terror.

Although Lin Mu was dressed in ancient attire and looked much younger,

Lu Ziming recognized Lin Mu at a glance.

He said in a panic, “Impossible, weren’t you dead? Are you a person or a ghost?”

As Lu Ziming spoke, his feet unconsciously retreated backward.

He stopped only when his body hit the wall.

Lin Mu said with a cold gaze, “What, are you very disappointed to see that I’m not dead?”

Although Lu Ziming didn’t understand why Lin Mu wasn’t dead.

And could appear here silently,

even his security guards outside couldn’t detect him.

But he knew that his current situation was very dangerous.

He disregarded his dignity and suddenly knelt down, saying,

“How could that be? For all these years you’ve been missing, I’ve been looking for you!”

“Now that you’re back, this is truly wonderful.”

Lin Mu heard this and said with a swift expression, “You’re still so hypocritical, so good at acting.”

“Back then, I saw through you, which is why I planned to divide the property equally between the two of you.”

“I didn’t expect you to do such a heinous thing.”

Seeing his lie exposed, the panic on Lu Ziming’s face flashed and disappeared.

He continued to argue, “Godfather, you’ve misunderstood me. It was all Chen Rui’s idea; she forced me to do it.”

Lin Mu smiled indifferently, “Oh? Is that so?”

Lu Ziming saw that Lin Mu seemed to believe him, so he quickly added, “This is absolutely true.”

“If Godfather doesn’t believe me, I can return to the country and confront her face to face.”

Lu Ziming just wanted to stall for time now.

His voice was also unusually loud.

This was to attract the attention of the security guards outside the door.

Logically, the security guards should have heard the commotion by now.

Lu Ziming was calculating how to continue stalling for time.

Suddenly, Lin Mu said again, “No need for such trouble. You can personally go down and confront her.”

Lu Ziming didn’t react immediately upon hearing this sentence.

After a few seconds, he finally understood.

“You killed her?”

“Good riddance! I’ve long wanted to kill her to avenge Godfather.”

Looking at Lu Ziming’s shameless face,

Lin Mu was too lazy to waste any more time with him.

He only heard him say, “You truly are heartless. After all, you two were husband and wife.”

“Now that she’s dead, as your godfather, I find it necessary to send you to reunite with her.”

As Lin Mu said this, the killing intent on him instantly spread.

Just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the room.

This was followed by Lu Ziming’s wild laughter.

He held a silver pistol and said, “Old man, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

“Ten years ago, I couldn’t kill you.”

“Today, you won’t escape again.”

Saying that, he continuously pulled the trigger.

Only a few more bangs of gunshots were heard.

However, after the gunshots,

Lin Mu still stood unharmed in place.

Lu Ziming watched all of this dumbfounded.

The pistol in his hand also unconsciously dropped to the ground.

This pistol was crafted from pure ivory.

He had paid a high price to have it custom-made.

It could pass any security check.

This pistol had also saved his life multiple times in crises.

Just now, when he knelt, he had taken it from beside the pillow and hidden it in his sleeve.

He had intended to kill Lin Mu with one shot.

But he didn’t expect such a bizarre scene to occur.

Bullets that could penetrate an elephant’s hide could not harm Lin Mu in the slightest.

Lu Ziming saw that he could do nothing to Lin Mu.

He glanced at the door.

He rolled his body, intending to run towards the door.

Just as his hand touched the doorknob,

a powerful suction instantly pulled him back.

After a dizzying spin, Lu Ziming only felt a sharp pain throughout his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a sea of fire.

Around him, apart from boundless darkness, there was only a raging sea of molten lava.

At this moment, Lin Mu’s voice suddenly came from all directions.

“You once swore that if you betrayed me, you would go to the eighteenth layer of hell.”

“This is the Asura field I created. You can slowly savor the taste of hell.”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, his voice disappeared.

Only Lu Ziming’s endless wails and pleas for mercy remained.
