Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 42 Should good people be suspected?!
Upon hearing this, Vinina's alluring face instantly twisted, and her eyes revealed an undisguised glint of hatred.

At this moment, Vinina was convinced that Lu Jin was the murderer who killed her son, Li Wei.

After all, compared to the number of martial artists, the number of mentalists is not that many.

Moreover, the murderer who killed his son was a War God-level psychic, and it happened in City 003. What a coincidence!
However, if the murderer is Lu Jin, then it means she may not be able to avenge her son's death.

Lu Jin is a high-level War God Spirit Master, whose strength surpasses that of the couple, and he is also a high-ranking general of the Yanhuang Guard.

Not to mention her, even the entire Polenas family is no match for Yanhuang Weifang. Only the entire O Alliance is worthy of being Yanhuang Weifang's opponent.

But it was clear that only her son was killed, and the O Allies would not stand up for her, not even the Bolenas family.

Noticing the hatred in his wife's eyes, Li Yao said in a deep voice, "Vinina, calm down. The murderer may not necessarily be Lu Jin."

Awei knew Lu Jin well enough to know he wouldn't provoke him if they met, and Lu Jin wouldn't kill him outright for no reason.

"Calm down? Yao, how can you expect me to calm down?"

"Contact the dark web, find several high-level war gods, or directly ask powerful councilors to take action. We, as husband and wife, can still avenge this grudge!"

"I'm convinced that Lu Jin killed my son Li Wei," Vinina roared.

"Don't be impulsive, let me ask first."

Li Yao, who was still able to maintain some rationality, stopped Vinina from acting impulsively. He then asked someone for Lu Jin's contact number and called him.

After all, although Lu Jin is a prime suspect, there is no evidence pointing to him, right?

Moreover, Lu Jin has an extraordinary background. If he really wanted to hire someone to kill someone, regardless of success or failure, Yanhuang Weifang would crush them afterwards.

No one even dared to take the order.

Moreover, if their son Li Wei was killed by Lu Jin, and the couple failed to take revenge and ended up losing their lives as well, then they could only blame their own lack of strength and had no one else to blame but themselves.

If the real culprit isn't Lu Jin, then wouldn't the couple have been given away for nothing, and the real culprit would have benefited instead?

City No. 003.

"Dududu-"

Upon seeing the unfamiliar caller ID on his combat watch, Lu Jin, who was practicing the "Master's Secret Technique 432," frowned and then clicked to reject the call.

"Which one?"

This time, Lu Jin accepted the offer.

This is the second time he's called; it seems the stranger on the other end really does have something to ask him.

As for scam calls?

He wanted to see which fraudster dared to call and harass a high-ranking general in the Wei army, or if he wanted to go to jail.

"I am Li Yao."

A slightly somber voice came from the combat watch.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's face darkened.

Why is everyone doubting me? Should good people be suspected?
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Lu Jin said, "Hello."

He couldn't fire first before the other side did.

"Lu Jin, you should know about my son Li Wei, right?"

"A bounty of hundreds of billions, so high-profile, of course I saw it, I'm not blind."

"My son Li Wei was murdered in City 003. There were many warriors and martial artists with him, including some high-level warriors. The murderer was a mentalist whose strength was at least at the level of a war god."

Lu Jin, I know you were also in City 003 at the time. Is there anything you want to say?

Li Yao said in a deep voice, "What? Just because we're both in City 003, you think I killed your son? Why don't you just say that your son and I are both on Earth?"

Lu Jin couldn't help but retort.

This guy is so rude, he won't even call me 'God of War'?
However, it must be said that although Li Yao and Vinina may not be good people, they are truly devoted to their son, Li Wei.

Unfortunately, this young man was a troublemaker; in the original story, he not only died himself, but also caused his parents to perish.

"you--"

Li Yao was momentarily speechless after being rebuked by Lu Jin.

That sounds reasonable, but being in City 003 and being on Earth are not the same thing.

Lu Jin continued, "Don't use 'you' or 'my' to describe it. I can say with certainty that if I said I killed the person right now, you would absolutely believe me."

If I said I didn't kill the person, you definitely wouldn't believe me.

In short, given your current mindset, no matter what I say, you'll still suspect that I killed the person.

The innocent do not need to prove their innocence. You are not my superior, nor are you a member of parliament. I have no obligation to explain to you, and you have no right to ask me to explain to you, understand?

Also, Mr. Li Yao, next time you contact me, remember to call me War God Lu Jin or Mr. Lu. That's all, bye.

After saying that, Lu Jin hung up the phone.

On the other side, Li Yao was startled when he saw that the communication had been cut off.

Yes, Lu Jin may be young, but young people are quite capable, and you could even say he's very strong.

In addition, given his status as a high-ranking general in the Yanhuang Guard, Lu Jin's status and position in the country are even higher than his, so he has no right to question the other party.

The question is, did Lu Jin kill his own son, Li Wei?
Judging from Lu Jin's tone, it seems like he's not the murderer, but we can't rule out the possibility that he's saying this on purpose.

At this moment, Li Yao wished he had Hong's strength.

Otherwise, why would he need to make these guesses?

If they had simply wiped out all the mentalists on Earth who could have appeared in City 003 at the time, they would have been able to avenge their son.

On the other side, inside a row of small villas at the Southeast Guard District Martial Arts Supply Base.

'Vinina, Executive President of the Yanhuang Region of the HR Alliance, Senior War God Warrior.'

Upon learning of the 'hundred-billion-dollar bounty,' Luo Feng, with a grim expression, went online to check Vinina's public information.

Although he had anticipated that the mixed-race youth he killed today had an extraordinary background, and that his elders must have been war god-level experts.

But Luo Feng never expected that the mixed-race child was actually the biological child of two high-level War God warriors, and that his mother, Vinina, was so wealthy that she offered a reward of hundreds of billions online.

For a moment, Luo Feng felt a sense of unease.

Although he was a martial artist of the Weifang faction and a prospective member of the Huashan organization, the entire Yanhuang Weifang faction was his backer.

Luo Feng also knew that while having powerful connections and a strong background was useful, it wasn't always effective.

Take that mixed-race kid, for example. Both his parents are high-ranking warriors, and his mother is the president of the HR Alliance in the Yanhuang region. That's a very high background, isn't it?
But he still managed to kill her, didn't he?

If Vinina, who offered a bounty of hundreds of billions, knew that he had killed her son, the couple would most likely not care about his Wei Fang background and would directly take action in secret.

In addition to people like Lu Jin who can be trusted.

Since becoming a martial artist, many others have witnessed him using his mental powers, and some have also seen him appear in City 003 this afternoon.

The preconditions for exposure already exist. If Li Yao and Vinina really put in the effort to investigate, there is a possibility that he could be exposed.
