The Trembling World

Speaking of the puppet-like lackeys wearing black uniforms, they were all at least level 12 or 13.

As for the villagers who were taken away, it was hard to know whether or not they were still alive. This type of feeling of being at the mercy of others would make anyone feel despair.

With this dreadful situation, they could only hope for Lord Liu to come and rescue them. The problem was, it had been over two months since he had left for the Moonlight Gulf Theme Park. Without any further updates, they felt that there was a high chance of he was dead by now.

From the looks of it, there was no one else capable of saving them from their dire situation.

“From what these two have said, there is a villager here called Lin Shi Ya. She is the Fifth Elder here. I heard that she is very beautiful. Call her here to come service me tonight,” Cao Yi said to his lackeys, as he embraced two female villagers.

“Okay, we will go find her,” the two lackeys replied in a monotone voice to Cao Yi. It was hard to tell if their voices were male or female.

“Fifth Elder is the village’s most beautiful woman. I heard that she is still young and inexperienced. Lord Cao would definitely like her,” the two women continued to offer up sacrifices for reward.

“Hahahaha! I don’t like to speak nonsense with people! If she is truly beautiful, she would be appropriate for me. I will reward you graciously! Each of you will receive ten thousand reward points!” Cao Yi continued speaking as if he was a king.

“Thank you Lord Cao!” The women traitors enjoyed the reward points, it was their livelihood. They sought to continue selling out others so they could enjoy their life and disregard others. It was always a better choice for Cao Yi to defile others rather than them!.

That very same night, Lin Shi Ya was pacing back and forth as she was talked with Chen Qi. That was when her courtyard gate was broken down. Walking in were two uniformed lackeys that were definitely up to no good.

Ling Ling ran up in an attempt to bite the two intruders, but she was held down by the neck by one of the puppet lackeys. She couldn’t resist after that. She had to watch Lin Shi Ya forcefully escorted out of her mansion by the second puppet lackey.

“Where are you taking me?” Lin Shi Ya shouted at the kidnapper.

“You caught Lord Cao’s attention! He wants you to spend the night, so you better service him happily if you care for your life!” the puppet lackey replied in its unnerving unisex voice.

“Why is he so shameless?” Lin Shi Ya started to curse at Cao Yi’s sick intentions.

If Liu Gan was more passionate about her, then her body would have belonged to him. However, Liu Gan was simply not interested in her. She never would’ve thought that her body would be violated by scum like Cao Yi.

“How dare you! You dare speak badly about Lord Cao! Are you trying to die here and now!” The puppet lackey slapped Lin Shi Ya across the face.

“Trouble at the front gates, Lord Cao wants you to go check the perimeter. I will take over and escort her to Lord Cao!” a third puppet lackey announced as it approached.

“What happened at the front gates?” the curious lackey questioned.

“You dare question, Lord Cao’s order? Do you want to die?” The approaching lackey snapped back. He grabbed ahold of Lin Shi Ya.

“Okay, then you have to make sure she arrives at Lord Cao. If there is any mistakes, you will be held accountable,” the second lackey shouted while heading towards the front gates.

Once the second lackey had disappeared from view, the third lackey pulled Lin Shi Ya toward the side exit.

“Who are you? Where are you taking me?” Lin Shi Ya couldn’t resist.

“I can only control my body for this short timeframe. After awhile, I can’t control it anymore! There’s this side exit that I’m responsible for overseeing. Don’t ask any more questions. Just rush out of the side exit and keep running! Don’t let me catch up to you! You won’t outrun me if I catch up!” the third lackey pushed Lin Shi Ya out the door and then tied himself to a tree.

Even though the third lackeys voice was unisex, Lin Shi Ya felt that she could recognize the voice. However, she didn’t have any time to inquire more. She just ran for her life in a straight line.

Right when the patrolling black-uniform lackeys disappeared from sight, Lin Shi Ya darted out the side exit. She ran north into the wilderness. She didn’t even know which direction the Evil Dragon Gulf was in, she simply went in the direction that she thought it was.

After several more minutes, a black-uniformed lackey ran out from the direction of the side exit. It was the very same lackey who had let her go. His pupils had turned to a swirling chaotic color from dark brown. He ran around the perimeter a few times, then resumed his patrol after he wasn’t able to find Lin Shi Ya.

Little did Lin Shi Ya know, but if the masked lackey didn’t have the face mask, she would’ve recognized him as the one she wanted to see the most - her father!

The next morning, Cao Yi arrived at the plaza center. He called for the remaining ranked squad leaders. He ordered them to bring him a hundred youths of both genders, no older than 18 years old. If there weren’t enough people, then the age limit was increased to 20 years old and younger.

As for the purpose of gathering these youths, Wang De Cheng and the other ranked officers didn’t dare question Cao Yi’s intentions. They’d tried before and had their limbs cut off.

A few weeks earlier, a dozen people had been taken away. After they had left, they were never seen again. The requested amount had never reached a hundred people before. It must have had to do with Cao Yi and the secret mastermind supporting him. They must have a blasphemous secret agenda. This village was starting to become more like a livestock farm.

Right now the mood in the village was very depressed. Once Wang De Cheng chose a hundred youths, right as he was about to present them to Cao Yi, a familiar tall figure showed up in the distance. He was leading nine other people. There was also Yin He and NaNa among the group. They were dragging two severely crippled uniformed lackeys. They all followed Liu Gan back to the entrance of the Beginner Village plaza center.

“IT’S LORD LIU! Lord Liu is back!”

“Lord Liu, you have finally returned!”

“Lord Liu, help us!”

“...”

Wang De Cheng and the villagers couldn’t believe their eyes. They had given up hope on being able to overturn their dire situation. They all believed that their Lord had died at Evil Dragon Gulf. Little did they expect him to return on this very day!

Is that really Lord Liu? Am I dreaming?
