Kaiju Maker in Another World

--- Chapter 4 ---

Yu Long observed the 'kidnappers.' in his field of vision. 

He calculated their danger level quickly. 

Three enemies. All adult males. Cultivation Bases, 5th Level of Elementary Profound Realm. 

"I don't know who you are, but..." 

"You have chosen the wrong person to kidnap." 

"Hmph." The man in black snorted and haughtily walked to Yu Long. "It seems the report is right. You're quite a bizarre child." 

"Still, it doesn't mean anything." 

"Be a good boy, and you won't feel any pain." 

Yu Long has never fought anyone before. He sparred a few times with Hong Wuji, but that's it. 

However, he wasn't nervous at all.

Something inside Yu Long makes him feel confident. 

Yu Long tossed his Second Brother away and sprinted toward the man in black. He could see a condescending smirk behind the black cloth covering his face.

Bio Electricity traveled to Yu Long's fingertips as Profound Sense and Compound Eyes pointed to weakness in the target's body.

'Die!' Yu Long's body strengthened, allowing him to hop and stab the man's solar plexus.

The man in black shook his head, thinking it would feel like a tickle.

"Argh!" A painful groan escaped the man's mouth.

Yu Long slammed the man's mouth and said, "Goodbye." 

A wave of purple-colored poison sprayed from Yu Long's sweat glands, drowning the man's throat.

The man in black fell to the ground, twitching like a dead fish. 

Yu Long looked at the dying 'kidnapper' and commented, "As expected, I didn't feel remorseful..."

As Kaiju Maker, Yu Long doesn't view humans not related to himself as humans anymore. They are clumps of essence, which he could crystalize and use.

Yu Long wondered solemnly, "Just what kind of man I was in my previous life?" 

He used [Body Strengthening] again and parkoured into the tree. Since the other kidnappers are still shocked, he could kill one of them fast enough.

The kidnapper in the tree watched Yu Long lunging toward him. 

"What-!" 

Yu Long jabbed the kidnapper's neck and poisoned him.

It was a swift process, and a twitching man fell from the tree and squealed like a pig. 

The kidnapper in the bush was terrified. 

He wanted to run away but failed to recognize a small leg tackling him down.

Thud!

The kidnapper crawled in fear. 

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" 

"I'll tell you everything. Please don't kill me." 

"Why should I?" Yu Long's voice brushed his ears. 

"Even if you don't open your mouth, I can still get your memories..."

"Die or not, it's the same for me." 

"Argh!" The kidnapper felt something touching his spine. A liquid traveled inside his body and released an intense electric shock, frying everything.

Three adult men just wiped by a kid.

It was also fast, less than a minute.

"Their foundations are weak." Yu Long yanked his fingers out of the man's back and grabbed a handkerchief, cleaning the blood. "I thought my first fight would be more interesting..." 

"Oh well." 

"At least I get more essence sphere." A wave sucked the corpse, turning it into a black-colored sphere.

Yu Long looked at the piles of clothes and profound coins, picking the latter unhurriedly. He turned two other corpses into essence spheres and checked their belongings.

Counting his spoils of war, Yu Long ate one of the spheres and tossed the piles of clothes into trash cans. 

Memories of a man named Wang Wei entered his mind. And as Yu Long speculated, someone ordered Wang Wei and two others to kidnap Yu Clan's young masters.

Their goal is to receive ransom money.

Unfortunately, the person who rented these people covered himself when he made the deal. All Yu Long could discern was his gender and voice, which were barely enough for him to investigate later.

Yu Long shook his head and grumbled unhappily, "Ten profound purple coins to kidnap me and Second Brother..." 

"Cheap ass kidnappers!" He couldn't help but complain, hoping to get more pocket money.

Yu Long carried his Second Brother back to the Yu Clan. The guards were alerted by their appearance.

"Fourth Young Master! What happened?" One guard stepped out and asked.

"Kidnapper." Yu Long answered indifferently. "Three of them, but don't worry much. Someone has dealt with them." 

Since Yu Long doesn't want to reveal himself, he decides to lie and make a fake scenario. All he had to say was that an elder with a white beard and mustache helped him, and the guards believed him.

Ah, the Cultivation World and their mysterious old man excuse. 

After handing the Second Brother to the guards, Yu Long returned to his courtyard and received two pieces of information.

Bow Making (F) Acquired.

Trap Making (F) Acquired.

"Hmm, are these abilities?" 

"Well, this answered my guess. When I consume an essence sphere of humans, their former skills will be mine." 

"But it's somewhat late, eh? I walked from that street to the Yu Clan for ten minutes." Yu Long rubbed his chin. "Maybe because I'm still young and [Kaiju Maker] hasn't reached its full potential." 

"Whatever, one of my curiosity got answered." 

"Ugh, so sticky. I want to take a bath." 

As he immersed himself in the bathtub, someone knocked on the bathroom.

Yu Long used his Profound Sense and smiled slightly. 

Even though he knew who it was, he still asked, "Who is there?" 

"It's me." A dignified male voice echoed.

Yu Long was excited, "Father, you're back!" 

"Mm, finish your thing. I'll be waiting in your room." Yu Long's father responded calmly.

Yu Long wiped his body clean and changed his clothes. He went to his bedroom and saw an adult man sitting on the edge of his bedroom, reading one of his research books about martial arts. 

Yu Long's father is called Yu Zhan. 

He's a dignified man in his mid-thirties. He has short raven hair, a defined jawline with stubbles, sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and striking golden eyes. His handsomeness is full of vigor, which explains where Yu Long's appearance comes from.

Yu Zhan wore a black robe that hung on his muscular body, and his well-fitted pants also showed his toned calves. He's not someone you expect from a leader of a business-related clan.

Closing the book in his right hand, Yu Zhan smiled and commented, "It seems my youngest son is very hardworking." 

"You're diligent and even make your own notes." 

"It's nothing special." Yu Long shrugged casually.

Yu Zhan shook his head at this son and said, "Sit." 

"Tell me about the kidnappers you encountered." 

"Okay." Yu Long sat on the bed and retold the 'fake' story. 

Yu Zhan attentively listened to his youngest son's story and frowned now and then. "Tsk, those bastards. They lost their capital and now want to drag my kids down." 

"They are looking down on me!" 

"Those bastards?" Yu Long tilted his head.

Yu Zhan realized his mistakes and coughed, "I mean those bad guys." 

"Father recently made a killing in the other empires. It led to some of our competitors losing some fortune." 

"Father was worried, so I hurriedly returned to the clan." 

"Fortunately, an expert was helping you and Yu Gong. Father was one step behind..." Yu Zhan sighed heavily. "From now on, I'll increase the security of Drifting River City!"

'Fck, what have I done! Now, I can't sneak into the forest anymore.' Yu Long cursed in his head. 

Yu Zhan gazed at his youngest son and added, "I will also assign a bodyguard for you and your brothers." 

'Nooo!' Yu Long lamented internally. 

Yu Long regretted telling his father and the guards about those incompetent kidnappers. 

He should have kept it for himself and dealt with it later.

Yu Zhan patted Yu Long's head and said, "Let's have dinner." 

"It's been a while since we ate together." 

Swallowing his grief, Yu Long smiled forcibly and responded, "Mm." 

Everyone gathered in the main dining room and had a huge feast. 

...

The next morning.

Yu Long opened his eyes and yawned slightly. 

He stretched his small yet growing body, "Good morning, world!" 

Yu Long brushed his teeth and slowly walked to the courtyard for daily exercise.

As Yu Long was about to start, someone called him. 

"Young master, young master!" Lily ran into the courtyard. Her face is red.

"What's the matter, Lily?" Yu Long gave her a questioning look. 

Lily calmed her breath and said in a heavy mood, "It's about your Martial Arts Instructor..."

"Oh, Teacher Hong. He has returned?"

"Good, prepare breakfast for both of us." He replied with a bright smile.

"No..." Lily shook her head.

"Mr. Hong has passed away..." 

Yu Long's smile immediately disappeared.
