Chapter 928 Killing Herbert

Herbert led his family members toward Lu Yu with a bright smile. It was obvious that Lu Yu’s strength had excited him.

Of course, what was brightening up his mood was that his noble status was preserved. He could continue to enjoy life and the benefits brought by his assets.

The rest of the people were more or less in mourning. Even if they had defeated the enemy, they were just glad that they had survived.

Among them, many had died in this battle. Even if they weren’t family members, they were friends or lovers.

As a result, even though they had defeated the trolls, they still wept.

When the war started, Herbert and his family just stood in the back and watched the show.

They spent money hiring the commoners to fight, turning them into cannon fodder.

Therefore, he suffered no losses. His noble identity was preserved, and his biggest threat had been eliminated. This was such a great event that he could not contain his happiness.

He smiled and walked toward Lu Yu, extending his right hand. He was about to shake Lu Yu’s hand.

“Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, we would have died here.”

Herbert said with a smile, oblivious to Lu Yu’s murderous aura.

Swoosh!

A purple light flashed, and Herbert’s right hand fell to the ground.

Before he could even react, his right hand was lopped off.

The moment blood spurted out, Herbert finally returned to his senses. A sharp pain rushed straight to his head, causing him to wail in pain.

“Argh! My right hand, my hand, what happened?”

The rest of the family rushed over. They were all frightened when they saw the lopsided hand on the ground.

Some of them immediately looked at Lu Yu and knew he had done it. After all, most of them were in the dining room when Lu Yu showed his capabilities.

“You… Are you crazy? Why are you attacking us?”

“We’re on the same side! Are you inhumane?”

“That’s right, you bastard! Are you crazy? Why would you attack our master!”

“Inhumane?” Lu Yu sneered disdainfully. “What a joke. When you send ordinary people to their deaths, you don’t seem to care about that.”

“Bullshit, how dare you slander us like this? What’s wrong with us using our army?”

“If they enter the battle, that’s not inhumane! That’s called a battle! It’s just that they’re weak and died to those monsters!”

Someone even started to argue with Lu Yu.

Herbert raised his head and looked at Lu Yu. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain while his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“You’re crazy; you’re really crazy! If you kill me, there will be someone who will hunt you down! I’m not a nobody!”

“Huh, do you think I’m afraid? All of you will die here today!”

Hearing this, Herbert and his family members panicked and retreated. They did not dare to get close to Lu Yu, afraid he would strike and kill them all.

In the distance, the people of Green Sea City were all watching quietly. Naturally, they wouldn’t speak up for the Herbert family.

They were excited and nervous when they saw that Lu Yu was going to make a move against this family.

These nobles constantly pressed down on them, making them unable to breathe. These nobles would throw some gold coins in exchange for their children’s lives, and the commoners were powerless to stop such a tragedy.

They had already accepted their fate, but hope rose when Lu Yu appeared.

They would be free if Lu Yu could break this cycle by killing the nobles.

Lu Yu pulled out his Void Evil Blade, and a faint purple light flashed on the blade.

The light enveloped the sword, making it look strange and unfathomable.

No one could withstand an attack from this energy—a special power from the void.

Swoosh!

Lu Yu swung his sword, and a stream of sword aura swept out.

Whoosh!

The stream of sword aura shot out, and before anyone could react, it sliced through the bodies of Herbert and his family members.

More than 100 people died on the spot.

There were even some who stood still, not knowing what had happened. However, their bodies were split in two in the middle right after.

Thud!

One after another fell to the ground with their bodies cut in half and blood flowing everywhere.

Herbert fell to the ground in absolute terror. His face was filled with fear as he slowly lost his life.

In an instant, all of Herbert’s family members were dead.

The smell of blood spread out, pungent and nasty-smelling.

Shirley didn’t dare to walk over, nor did she dare to take a second look. Those were all her former family members. Although their relationship wasn’t deep, they had still grown up together.

Lu Yu turned around and walked toward the crowd.

“Everyone, I’ve killed Herbert and his family.”

Everyone looked at each other and then cheered loudly.

“No objections!”

“Well done!”

“That’s great. I’ve long disliked the family! They never deserve to have so much wealth!”

“They only know how to bully us commoners; they should have died long ago!”

They were all in feverish excitement and strongly supported Lu Yu’s actions.

Lu Yu came to Shirley’s side and looked at her, noticing the tears in the corner of her eyes.

“Do you hate me?”

How could she not hate him for killing his entire family?

“Of course I hate…”

“However, you also saved the entire Green Sea City.”

“If you didn’t choose to save them, they would’ve all died.”

“I…”

She was at a loss. If Lu Yu had chosen to stand aside, the trolls would have killed Herbert and the others regardless.

Lu Yu had saved Green Sea City, but Herbert and his family still died.

Herbert and the others deserved to die today, but they died in Lu Yu’s hands instead of the trolls.

Of course, she never expected Lu Yu to let Herbert and the others off. After all, they had offended him at their dining table. How dare they boast shamelessly about occupying someone’s home, plundering their wealth, and treating them as slaves?

“I don’t have any hatred or any other feelings for you…”

She replied helplessly.

“Although they were my family, and I never once agreed with their thoughts and actions, I am now homeless after their deaths.”

As she spoke, Shirley wept. Her entire family was dead; where could she go now?

It was absolutely impossible for her to protect the family business alone. Should she continue on the path of being a noble?

She was at a loss.

“Why don’t you be our guide?”

Lu Yu invited her.
