Blood Essence (2)

"Oh, I forgot about the boy. Since you've helped me find this place, I won't be ungrateful." Suddenly, Lu Zhen turned his attention to the second cage where Xiao Yu was lying unconscious. He slashed with his hands and, like with Elv, broke the cage without harming Xiao Yu.

"The previous dummy I killed must have been a clown or something," Lu Zhen thought to himself as he observed the unconscious boy.

"He was a dummy," the girl said, her eyes filled with a glint of knowing.

"Did you already know?"

"No."

"Why did you kill the dummy without flinching then?"

"That's because he was in my way. If he had been real and stabbed me in the back, he would have died. Even if he was a dummy, he would have still died. I don't care what people do as long as they don't get in my way, and since he wanted to kill me, it's my principle to kill him back," Lu Zhen explained in a cold voice as he once again reviewed the contract.
