Chapter 161: 161. Young and beautiful nuclear physicist
The one waiting here was none other than the bald heavyweight named Andre, who had forced Lu Yao to play roulette last time.
Andre sized up Lu Yao contemptuously and sneered, "Yellow-Skinned Monkey, you actually had the guts to come here. Do you really think you're a big shot just because you played roulette once?"
After he finished speaking, he burst into arrogant laughter with his accomplices, exchanging remarks in the local language, assuming an air of disdain.
Lu Yao, impatient, said, "I'm in a hurry, either let them go, or go to Hell."
Andre's eyes flashed viciously, his muscles bulged making his tattoos even more conspicuous, and he pointed a gun at Lu Yao and roared, "Yellow-Skinned Monkey~ you've angered me! I'm going to sell that bitch Sanna to the west to be a whore, and you will die lonely and miserable in..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the figure of Lu Yao suddenly blurred and vanished from sight. By the time Andre reacted, he only heard a "clack" and felt intense pain in his arm.
Lu Yao had twisted the man's arm and instantly snatched his revolver, lifting the gun and blowing the heads off the other three with three shots, splattering blood like red bean paste all over the ground.
The swift and realistic action was more thrilling than any action movie, leaving Semyon with his mouth agape, speechless.
Lu Yao was already hauling the howling Andre with the broken arm into the factory and considerately shut the door behind them.
Afterward, Semyon could only hear gunshots, wailing, various crashing noises, and muffled thumps from inside the factory—like someone was remodeling.
Finally, a pitiful figure violently crashed out from the second floor and fell to the ground, a massive dent in his chest. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood before drawing his last breath.
~~~~~~~
By now, Andre, being held by Lu Yao, was too terrified to continue wailing.
This Asian man would blow off someone's head every time he fired his gun; not only was he fast and accurate, but the most terrifying thing was that while holding Andre, he still moved like a tiger, pouncing forward and sending people flying!
As Lu Yao kicked a man flying more than ten meters out of the second-floor window, the factory also fell into silence. Read latest chapters at empire
"Listen, if you spare me, I promise I won't appear before you again! I didn't touch that woman..."
Andre babbled frantically, begging for mercy, while Lu Yao kept walking and said, "I gave you a chance. People should pay the price for their choices."
He hauled Andre to the administrative area on the second floor and violently threw him out.
Andre flew out and crashed through a door into a room, where a barrage of gunfire turned him into a bloody, perforated mess.
Lu Yao had long since heard people inside. After his marrow was cleansed, his physical condition had improved drastically, his senses had been enhanced, and in conjunction with the Spirit Refining Oblivion, he could instantly determine the number of people inside and what they were doing by the sounds alone, as if he had ultrasonic scanning.
Lu Yao, powering off the wall with his legs, ran inside. He raised his hand and shot dead two enemies with AKs with two shots, landed, and then shouldered into the last man, banging him against the wall, which sent him bouncing back to the floor.
The man bled from all seven orifices and twitched his legs a couple of times before lying still.
~~~~~~~
Lu Yao approached a fortified door and shouted, "You behind the door, step back," then kicked the entire door down with one foot. Inside were four young women with their hands and feet bound, crying and with smudged makeup.
He easily untied the ropes but didn't find Sanna. As he was looking around, suddenly a girl hugged him tightly and said excitedly, "Mr. Lu, thank you! I thought I was done for, oh my God, thank you so much!"
The girl was so emotional that her words were incoherent. Lu Yao looked at her several times, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you… are you Sanna?"
Without makeup and dressed in normal women's clothes, Sanna looked completely reborn, pure and pretty, and very young, about 20 years old, to the extent that Lu Yao didn't recognize her.
"With your reward, I can say goodbye to my past and start a new life… But I was targeted by these bastards!"
Sanna gestured for the other pitiable girls to leave and continued, "I really appreciate it! Without you, I'd have been sold to those barbaric countries in the west to be a whore!"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "No need to thank me, we people from Xia Country believe in destiny. It was only right that I saved you having met you."
Sanna pulled out a cigarette and was about to light it when she realized where she was and spat it out. "Their money is here! Mine too!"
She led Lu Yao to the innermost room, where opium and rolls of cash filled the space.
Sanna's hundred thousand dollars were also there, just taken out of the bag and ready to be put through the money counter.
She couldn't wait to take it back and even gave it a couple of fierce kisses.
Lu Yao, seeing so much money, instantly felt better, glad he didn't have to go back to get more. He packed all the money up, weighing over a million pounds in total.
"Making money from business without any initial investment is quite fast, next time if I'm short on cash I'll just rob the opium dealers. They conveniently like to keep cash at their strongholds."
~~~~~~~
Semyon had only been waiting outside for 5 minutes when he saw Lu Yao emerge with his daughter.
He hurried forward to check on them, embracing Sanna and repeatedly saying things like "thank God." Sanna, somewhat disgusted, pushed him away.
Then, Semyon, holding on to Lu Yao with excitement said, "You've redeemed a father's soul, words cannot express my gratitude, I am willing to do anything to repay you!"
"It was nothing, no need for thanks, I should be on my way now," Lu Yao said, ready to attend to his own matters.
Sanna quickly said, "Are you heading to Marshal's Tank Factory? Let me drive you there, let me do at least something for you."
With a comfortable car ride in the offering, Lu Yao had no objections.
~~~~~~~~
Sanna was kidnapped in broad daylight right on the street; her car was being driven by Semyon and was parked right outside the black market.
No sooner had they left than a crowd of people began shouting and running to search the factory, completely ignoring the recent gun battle that had taken place inside, stripping the bodies of their clothing and even starting to fight over the spoils, creating total chaos.
Lu Yao felt this place was a bit like "Guadala City" that he had been to before; both were so chaotic.
Sanna bit on a cigarette but did not light it, sighing and saying:
"This place will soon be occupied by a new gang... I was a student at Shevchenko National University before, but I had to drop out because I couldn't afford it... Now, I can continue to complete my studies."
Lu Yao listened silently, casually asking, "Shevchenko National University? Not bad. What major were you studying?"
Sanna answered, "Nuclear Physics. I admired my father when I was a child, I thought he was the smartest person in the world, and I wanted to be an engineer or a scholar like him."
"Then you've got to work hard~"
"I will! Mr. Lu, meeting you changed my life..." Sanna looked at Lu Yao earnestly, with meaning in her voice, she slowly said, "I am willing to do anything for you..."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything!"
Lu Yao nodded, "Then study hard for me."
Sanna: ...
Arriving at Marshal's Tank Factory, Lu Yao got out of the car, waved to the girl, and was ready to leave.
Sanna called out, "Lu Yao, will I be able to see you again in the future?"
"If we're destined, certainly."

Lu Yao walked into the factory, and Alexander, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a bear hug.
