Chapter 663: His Own Choice
If someone were to ask him how he lived his life as a lone survivor of the great massacre when he was only a three years old toddler, Lu Yizhou would reply it was just like a rollercoaster ride. He was not given the time to breathe even for a moment.
In that planet where nobody was alive aside from him, he spent most of the time beside his sister’s corpse as he was still too young to comprehend the meaning of death. He still believed that she was only asleep and would wake up soon after.
In his indistinct memory, he only had a faint impression of a huge black shadow which covered the whole sky, fierce and imposing, carrying with it the thick scent of smoke and steel. A few days had already passed since the tragedy, and he was already delirious due to the prolonged thirst and hunger. In such a state, he could not fight back even as people came to take him away from his sister, from his home — forever.
It was not until he got a bit older and was exposed to many people from all walks of life that he realized it was a pirate ship which usually roamed the galaxy. They often took advantage of ravaged and destroyed planets to scavenge around, trying to see if they could find something precious and worth selling.
Azure Planet was abundant in its natural resources. Compared to Capital Planet that supported advanced civilization with robots dominating all aspects of life, Azure Planet still retained its archaic beauty. Let alone robots, the most sophisticated technology they had on themselves was the terminal. Only a few important figures owned it, as it was simply out of obligation so they would not be out-of-touch with the other planets in the Alliance.
The sky in Azure Planet was always clear blue, with many clear rivers and waterfalls which add to the natural beauty. Yet after the massacre, blood dyed the water into murky crimson and thick waves of dark clouds shrouded the sky, leaving an air of stillness and death that soaked deep into the soil.
Of course, the most valuable thing the pirates found on this ruined planet was a living toddler Lu Yizhou.
They did not know Lu Yizhou’s real identity, but it did not pose a problem either. What was the use of it when his hometown was no more? The most important thing was that he looked good, like a little young master who had been pampered since birth, and all his organs were healthy and intact.
And just like that, Lu Yizhou was sold in the illegal black market. As for what the buyer intended to do to him, whether to raise him as a slave, dismember him to sell his inner organs, or train him into a skilled servant, they could not afford to care.
