Chen Hao curled up on the ground, and after hearing someone call him, he instinctively raised his head. When he saw it was Lu Tianxing who was calling him, a look of disbelief immediately flashed across his face. He had never in his dreams expected that the person appearing before him would be Lu Tianxing.
"Lu... Lu Tianxing, is... is it really you? How could you be here?"
Chen Hao trembled as he spoke, his face betraying intense fear.
It wasn’t Lu Tianxing that he feared, because he saw Rose standing behind Lu Tianxing. It was Rose that he feared.
His uncle, Scar, was a deputy hall master of the Sword Alliance. Naturally, he had heard of Rose. In Modu, the name "Huangpu Rose" was widely known, instilling dread in countless people. He was acutely aware of how terrifying Rose could be. Anyone who fell into her hands would be skinned alive, even if they were lucky enough to survive.
Chen Hao had never imagined that the person who had abducted him would be Rose, and he had never imagined that Rose would help Lu Tianxing get revenge.
"Of course, it’s me. Chen Hao, do you feel very disappointed now? I seem to be standing perfectly unharmed beside you," Lu Tianxing said with a smiling face. But a cold gleam flickered in the depths of his eyes as he stepped towards Chen Hao.
Seeing Lu Tianxing walk towards him step by step, Chen Hao shook uncontrollably. Now, Lu Tianxing seemed no different from a demon in his eyes.
"Lu... Lu Tianxing, what are you planning to do? Don’t mess around, killing people is against the law," Chen Hao said, looking at Lu Tianxing’s icy gaze, which felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, shivering all over. He kept retreating; had he known that Lu Tianxing was acquainted with Rose, he would not have had the guts to cross Lu Tianxing, even with ten times the courage.
Offending a man is not scary, but offending a woman is the most terrifying thing of all.
"Killing people is against the law?"
Hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s mouth curved into a cold, mocking smile, "Chen Hao, do you think I’m a fool? When you had people trying to break my limbs, you didn’t think about that, huh? What comes around goes around. Don’t you think I should return the favor? Just breaking your five limbs should do, don’t you agree?"
"No, no, you can’t do this. Please, Lu Tianxing, I’m begging you, spare me, please, spare me. I won’t dare do it again. President Rose, could you plead for me? Great kindness should be met with great mercy; please let me go as if I were nothing but a fart..."
Chen Hao shivered uncontrollably, struggling to stand up from the ground, he knelt in front of Rose, desperately pleading. To break five limbs – he would be completely ruined.
"Spare you? You wanted to break the limbs of my man, and you still think I should spare you?"
Rose smiled coldly, her voice as chilling as the Nine Nether Purgatory, devoid of any hint of emotion, her eyes harboring a grim killing intent.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hao’s face flashed with intense fear. No wonder the woman who had kidnapped him had said he had laid hands on Rose’s fiancé. Could it be that Lu Tianxing was...
Suddenly, Chen Hao felt as though a giant wave had surged within his heart, an ominous premonition rising. He asked, still trembling, "Who is your man?"
"Lu Tianxing," Rose stated emphatically.
Although he had guessed the outcome, hearing Rose confirm it still caused Chen Hao’s entire body to tremble, his face displaying deep fear and regret. If he had known that Lu Tianxing was Rose’s man, even with the courage of a bear and a leopard, he wouldn’t have dared to trouble Lu Tianxing, not to mention him, even his uncle Scar wouldn’t have the guts to confront Rose.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Chen Hao looked at Lu Tianxing with terror.
"I should be the one asking you that question. However, Chen Hao, I have a question for you. If you answer honestly, I might show mercy and spare your life."
As soon as Lu Tianxing finished speaking, Chen Hao, like grasping at the last straw, asked anxiously, "What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything, leave nothing unsaid."
"Do you know Heavenly God?"
Lu Tianxing suddenly asked, his eyes piercing like lightning, putting pressure on Chen Hao with an intimidating presence, as if he could see right through one’s heart.
"Heavenly God? Who is he? I don’t know him,"
Hearing that name, Chen Hao was slightly stunned, utterly confused as to why Lu Tianxing would ask him that.
Seeing Chen Hao’s reaction, Lu Tianxing sighed. It seemed Chen Hao didn’t know Heavenly God. Moreover, he was closely watching the changes in Chen Hao’s expressions. Since the question was asked, Chen Hao’s expression had been nothing but astonishment, without the slightest variation.
"It looks like you truly don’t know anything." Lu Tianxing shook his head with a sigh and left the basement.
"Break his limbs and throw him out."
Rose glanced at Chen Hao and left behind a cold remark, following Lu Tianxing out.
"No, Lu Tianxing, you can’t do this to me, you promised me, you said you’d spare my life, no, you can’t do this."
Chen Hao let out a piercing scream, struggling to cling to Lu Tianxing’s legs, but he was seized by two members of the Rose Society. Soon after, a series of harrowing screams echoed through the basement, sending shivers down the spine.
"Husband, what’s wrong, what happened?"
In the back room of Zero Point Bar, Rose gently embraced Lu Tianxing from behind, resting her head on his back.
"Remember I told you to keep a close watch on those with unclear identities in Modu?" Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and said.
"Yes, what about it?"
Rose was puzzled. Although she was aware of the existence of these assassins and mercenaries, she didn’t understand why these killers would want to trouble Bai Zhiqing nor did she grasp the connection between this and the events of today.
"Someone has offered a one billion-dollar reward for Bai Zhiqing on an international assassin website, and the person who posted the bounty is called Heavenly God. Tonight, Zhiqing encountered an assassin once more, and this assassin was arranged by Heavenly God," Lu Tianxing disclosed everything to Rose without holding back, speaking slowly.
"Husband, what are you saying?"
Rose’s alluring lips parted slightly, her face a picture of shock and disbelief. She had not anticipated that Bai Zhiqing’s continual encounters with assassins were the result of a bounty, and that a businessperson could be worth a bounty of one billion dollars.
After a long moment, Rose came back to her senses, her face now completely overtaken by a profound chill, emitting a strong desire to kill, as she said in a chilly tone, "Husband, what do you need me to do? Should we keep Chen Hao captive and interrogate him further to find out if he really knows Heavenly God?"
"No need, Chen Hao is just a lackey; he’s not privy to such information."
Lu Tianxing shook his head; Chen Hao’s eyes couldn’t deceive him — indeed, Chen Hao had no idea who Heavenly God was: "Rose, I need a map from the home of Sword Alliance Hierarch Chen Dao, and I want you to intimidate Chen Dao’s entire network of connections with the utmost speed. This time I am going to make the Sword Alliance completely disappear from Modu."
