Zhao Lin, upon hearing Zhao Quan’s words, urgently said, "Is our Zhao Family afraid of Cheng Bao? Is this kid only daring to oppose our Zhao Family because he relies on his relationship with Cheng Bao? What’s there to be afraid of? In Xiangjiang, our Zhao Family is the dragon, afraid of not being able to annihilate him? So what if he is a Martial Artist, I don’t believe he can escape a bomb..."
Zhao Quan suddenly interrupted Zhao Lin, speaking with frustration, "Do you really think this kid is relying on Cheng Bao? Cheng Bao is a person who wouldn’t act without profit. Without a huge benefit, do you think Cheng Bao would willingly stake the foundation he has built over many years and fight a battle to the death with us? Use your pig brain and think properly."
Zhao Quan sighed softly. This was also the reason he had conceded. Cheng Bao’s reverence for Lu Tianxing was genuine, not just superficial because of a lifesaving grace, but because Lu Tianxing’s fearful presence made even Cheng Bao afraid, and moreover, the moment Lu Tianxing stood before him, he felt as though facing a Killing God. Zhao Quan was sure that if he had dared to make a move against Lu Tianxing today, he and his son would definitely not have walked out of Lin Hua Building alive.
"You mean we just let today’s incident slide? If people from other powers come to know of this, wouldn’t our Zhao Family’s face be completely lost?" Zhao Lin said unwillingly. Lu Tianxing had broken one of his legs, an insult he could not swallow no matter what.
Watching Zhao Lin’s unwilling expression, Zhao Quan took a deep breath and slowly began, his tone carrying a chilling murderous intent, "No one has ever dared to bully a Zhao Family member. Whoever dares to do so must pay a price. Don’t act rashly for now; investigate this kid’s background first. Rest assured, the vengeance for a broken leg, Dad will definitely avenge you."
"Dad, you rest assured." Zhao Lin’s eyes shimmered with a vindictive glow, his mouth twisted in a ferocious smile, almost imagining the moment when Lu Tianxing fell into his hands.
As for the matters discussed between Zhao Quan and Zhao Lin, Lu Tianxing was completely unaware and even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care. To him, the Zhao Family was less significant than an ant, even saying less than an ant would not be an exaggeration. If the Zhao Family did not know better, he would not mind making them disappear from this Earth forever.
The reason he did not kill anyone today was because Zhao Quan had the sense to, if Zhao Quan had dared to let bodyguards shoot, Lu Tianxing was one hundred percent sure he would have made Zhao Quan and Zhao Lin completely disappear from this world.
At that moment, Lu Tianxing was sitting in a renowned Chinese restaurant in Xiangjiang, heartily enjoying his meal, devouring food as if he hadn’t eaten in days.
Xue Man sat opposite Lu Tianxing, her face speechless as she watched Lu Tianxing eating greasily, her face was full of disbelief. She really wanted to cut open Lu Tianxing’s heart to see what it was made of, heartless and unfeeling, having just deeply offended the Zhao Family and even forced them to pay for their son’s leg.
And here he was, not the least bit worried about Zhao Family’s retaliation, not even preparing to pack up and flee, instead, he was enjoying his meal so comfortably; his nerves might be just too robust.
For now, Xue Man had no appetite for anything, even though the aroma of the food kept tempting her tastebuds.
Now, Xue Man felt like everyone around them was from the Zhao Family. Any slight overreaction from somebody could startle her, thinking it might be the Zhao Family coming for their revenge.
"This guy really is heartless; who knows what he used to do before?"
Watching Lu Tianxing enjoying his food, a thought suddenly flashed through Xue Man’s mind as she curiously watched Lu Tianxing.
In her mind, Lu Tianxing was a frivolous, shameless hooligan, but today’s performance by Lu Tianxing completely overturned her previous understanding of him. With an unchanged expression, he broke Zhao Lin’s leg, arrogantly confronted Zhao Quan, and at that moment, Lu Tianxing seemed like he had become a completely different person, very foreign, as if human life was as trivial to him as withered grass.
If it had not been seen with her own eyes today, Xue Man would have found it difficult to imagine that a person who was always jesting and frivolous could become so terrifying, become so dominant, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, and had even forced the Zhao Family to bow their heads.
"Minister Xue, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed, why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?"
Just then, Xue Man heard a puzzled voice near her ear and immediately snapped back to reality. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a face right in front of her eyes, the proximity so close that she could almost feel the heat of each other’s breaths on their faces.
"Lu Tianxing, what are you trying to do, why are you so close to me?"
Xue Man quickly leaned back, crossed her arms, and stared at Lu Tianxing with a wary expression, as if to say, if you dare try anything funny, I’m ready to fight you off like you’re a pervert.
"I see you’re not eating, Minister Xue, and you keep staring at me intensely. Tell me, did you fall in love with me because of my brave appearance earlier, and because I treat money like dirt?"
Lu Tianxing smiled at Xue Man and touched his hair, narcissistically saying, "Minister Xue, you don’t need to speak. An explanation is just a disguise, and a disguise means it’s the truth. I know your heart. Sigh, I really am too handsome, a real lady killer. At this rate, I feel I might have to leave Earth and go to some deserted place, otherwise I’ll become the enemy of all men worldwide."
Xue Man was stunned. She had seen narcissistic people before but never someone this narcissistic. She gritted her teeth and said, "Like you? In your dreams."
Lu Tianxing, with a meaningful look, said, "Minister Xue, there’s something I’m not sure whether I should say."
"Just spit it out already," Xue Man said coldly.
"Minister Xue, I advise you it’s better not to like me because I’m already married. I already have a wife. If you still want to like me, you can only be a minor affair. The main slots are already taken," Lu Tianxing said earnestly.
Xue Man, with gritted teeth and an extremely livid expression, thought that if she weren’t aware that she was no match for Lu Tianxing, she would have kicked him right then. There’s a limit to shamelessness, right?
Lu Tianxing shrugged, indifferently saying, "If you’re not willing, forget it. Anyway, I don’t really like you. You are quite beautiful, but you’re too violent. What if I marry you home and one day you get upset and kick me off the bed in the middle of the night? What would I do then, go to the hospital? And when the doctor asks what happened, I say, ’I was kicked off the bed by my affair,’ how embarrassing that would be."
"Who would want to marry you, you jerk."
Xue Man, with a steel-cold expression, watched Lu Tianxing, a chilling glint in her eyes. She suddenly lifted her foot under the table and viciously stomped toward Lu Tianxing’s left foot.
"Oh come on, Minister Xue, you’re really too vicious! Are you trying to cripple me?"
Lu Tianxing jumped in shock, this girl really didn’t hold back with her kick. If that had landed, not just a foot, but even a rock would’ve been crushed. Luckily, he was prepared.
