Villain Simulation: At the Beginning, My Supreme Emperor Bone Was Taken

Chapter 6: Being the Younger One, When Bullied, You Must Rely on the Older One as Your Backing

[“No, it’s me who caught you.”]

[Seeing that you weren’t as afraid as expected and even wore a mocking smile, the “driver’s” fierce expression shifted slightly, as if realizing something.]

[RIP!]

[A black hand suddenly shot out from the leather seat in the back of the car, trying desperately to tear out your spine.]

[You remained calm and simply said:]

[“Do it.”]

[BOOM!]

[Terrifying flames suddenly erupted from the ground, incinerating the black hand completely. Lu Zhong, the protector who had previously been sent to kill Ye Chen, reappeared.]

[A massive hand wrapped in golden flames grabbed the “driver’s” head. Ignoring his terrified expression, it yanked him out with great force.]

[Dragged out and violently beaten, the so-called “mastermind behind the scenes” quickly realized this was a trap. Lu Zhong’s earlier pursuit of Ye Chen had clearly been a ruse to draw him out.]

[“No!!!”]

[You calmly watched as the arrogant and overbearing “mastermind” was ruthlessly beaten by Lu Zhong. His limbs were ripped apart, his flesh torn to shreds. A faint smile played on your lips.]

[Just as you had predicted, although this “mastermind” was powerful, he was nowhere near Lu Zhong’s current level. If he were, he wouldn’t have needed to resort to such underhanded schemes.]

[Earlier, you had openly ordered Lu Zhong to chase Ye Chen, but in secret, you had used spiritual sound transmission to instruct him to return quickly and lie in wait, setting a trap for the enemy.]

[However, to your surprise, this “mastermind” possessed extremely strange abilities. He could transform into a shadow and shift forms at will, nearly escaping from Lu Zhong’s hands.]

[Even so, as the protector assigned to you by the Lu family, Lu Zhong was far from ordinary. He transformed into a massive golden ape and suppressed the enemy with a single punch.]

[The battle quickly ended.]

[Lu Zhong, still radiating murderous intent, dragged the mutilated “mastermind,” now reduced to a limbless human stump, before you and reported, “Young Master Lu, this creature was cultivating a long-lost evil art called the Thousand Shadow Devil Technique. It can control shadows and alter appearances—extremely bizarre. I almost let him escape. I still couldn’t determine which force he belongs to.”]

[You weren’t surprised. The so-called “mastermind” before you was probably just a disposable pawn. Naturally, he wouldn’t be taught any technique traceable to an identifiable origin.]

[“Soul search.”]

[You spoke coldly.]

[Now that you’ve reached the 7th stage Saint Entry Realm, your soul has become solid and carries many powers, one of which is the ability to search souls. But once used, the target either becomes mentally crippled or dies instantly.]

[This “mastermind” had killed you once in the first villain simulation—how could you possibly let him go this time?]

[Lu Zhong nodded and began the soul search on the “mastermind” in his hands, hoping to uncover the identity of the one pulling the strings. Anyone who dared attack the young master of the Great Xia Lu family clearly had a death wish.]

[Soon, under the pressure of the soul search, the “mastermind” couldn’t take it anymore. Blood poured from his seven orifices, his body trembled uncontrollably, and in no time, he stopped breathing and died. But Lu Zhong did not look pleased. He frowned, his face showing shame.]

[“Young Master Lu, part of this bastard’s memory was erased. I couldn’t find out who was behind him. All I discovered is that he seemed to be an orphan who was taken in and then taught the Thousand Shadow Devil Technique.”]

“So his memories were wiped… They really didn’t leave any loose ends. All leads are severed.” Lu Qian looked at the villain simulator with a calm expression, as though he had already anticipated this outcome.

Clearly, this scheme targeting him had been in the works for a long time.

Naturally, it wouldn’t be so easy to unravel.

Still, this “mastermind’s” situation reminded him of something.

Gathering orphans, raising them carefully, and teaching them secret arts…

This was clearly the method used by major families to cultivate “death warriors.”

In a way, even Lu Zhong, as his protector, was a “death warrior” nurtured by the Lu family—trained to serve the family and ready to give his life at any moment.

That was exactly why Lu Qian trusted Lu Zhong so much.

“This makes the Gu family of Great Xia even more suspicious.”

“Besides them, the Zhao family of Magic City is also partly suspect.”

“But in the villain simulator, I still lack evidence…”

“Still, at my level, whether evidence is important or not… is debatable.”

Lu Qian’s smile deepened. He grew increasingly curious about what his counterpart in the villain simulator would do next.

After all, the “Lu Qian” in the simulator had independent thought.

And his real self outside couldn’t interfere directly.

[You weren’t surprised by Lu Zhong’s report. You remained unimaginably calm. For most people, lacking evidence means they must endure or slowly gather clues.]

[But you? You’re the second young master of the Great Xia Lu family. Behind you stands an ancestor of the 8th stage Heaven and Man Realm. Laws and evidence mean little to you.]

[If the younger brother is bullied, of course he turns to the older brother for help.]

[From your storage ring, you took out the Lu family’s internal bloodline communicator and sent a message to your eldest brother, Lu Shou, saying that you had been assassinated. The culprit was the Gu family, another Heaven and Man-level noble family. You asked him to help you get revenge.]

[You and your eldest brother Lu Shou have a deep bond. He’s always stood up for you since childhood. You believe he’ll definitely help. As the heir to the Lu family and a top prodigy of Great Xia, his authority is far greater than yours. He can represent the Lu family and cause a major stir, enough to smoke out the enemy.]

[As for the suspect Zhao family in Magic City, you plan to investigate them in your own way.]

[One of Magic City’s four major families, the Li family, is related to the Lu family by marriage. Its head married one of your paternal cousins. They’re considered allies. Your residence and arrangements in Magic City were all handled by the Li family. You plan to have them investigate and act.]

[In the first simulation, you were killed before you could use your advantages and authority. This time, you intend to make full use of them.]

[After arranging everything, you told Lu Zhong to write down a copy of the Thousand Shadow Devil Technique retrieved through the soul search. Clearly, you were interested in this demonic technique that could change forms and turn into shadows.]

[Lu Zhong agreed but suddenly asked if you could now cultivate. After all, you had previously used spiritual sound transmission to communicate with him—he instantly realized you had been hiding your cultivation.]

[You nodded slowly. At this point, Lu Zhong was one of your greatest trump cards. Some things couldn’t be hidden. You asked him to keep it secret and not tell anyone.]

[The mastermind behind the scenes clearly didn’t know that you had awakened the Supreme Emperor Bone and could now cultivate. You wanted to keep this as your hidden card.]

[Lu Zhong paused, but in the end, he nodded and agreed.]
