Although he had a very high opinion of Lu Tianxing in his heart, whenever Peng Tianhu thought of the words Lu Tianxing had sent back with his messenger, uncontrollable rage surged within him that he couldn’t suppress.
Looking all over Xiangjiang, the Peng Family might not be considered a top-notch family, but they were still a force to be reckoned with. When had they ever been threatened , with someone proclaiming they would blood cleanse the Peng Family? This was a naked slap in the face, and if word got out, the Peng Family in Xiangjiang would become an utter laughingstock from then on.
Tao Fangfang was also sitting nearby with a cold expression, looking at Peng Tianhu and saying in a high-pitched voice, "Tianhu, what do we do about this matter? Are we just going to let it go? Are we just going to watch idly as our son is confined to a wheelchair from now on? I can’t swallow this grievance; I must make this couple pay the price."
"Just let it go? He killed my men and beat my son, and expects me to let it go? Daydreaming."
Peng Tianhu forcefully took a drag of his cigarette, his eyes flickering with a violent light, as he said with a cold laugh, "He thinks so highly of his own strength, looking down on my Peng Family, doesn’t he? I can’t believe he’s a Heaven-level Martial Artist. Elder Chen is now at the Earth-level Peak; let him take action and capture Bai Zhiqing. We’ll threaten him with Bai Zhiqing. I’ve already investigated clearly; she is Lu Tianxing’s wife. I refuse to believe he won’t surrender when he sees his woman has been captured."
Tao Fangfang’s face revealed a cold smile, venomous like a viper, "Not only that, but I also want to humiliate him severely. Tianlong is fond of that Bai Zhiqing woman, isn’t he? In his presence, we’ll have Tianlong consummate with his spouse, and then send her off to Africa to become a wretched prostitute subjected to thousands."
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Peng Tianhu shook his head vigorously and said, "Bai Zhiqing can’t die now."
"Why? Peng Tianhu, tell me, have you taken a liking to that filthy woman?" Tao Fangfang was taken aback and immediately burst out in anger.
"You don’t know anything. Do you know who Bai Zhiqing really is?"
"Who is she? She’s just the Chairwoman of Bai’s Group. What’s so great about her? We, in Xiangjiang, are not afraid of her," Tao Fangfang said coldly.
"Yes, she is the Chairwoman of Bai’s Group, but do you know who Bai Zhiqing’s grandfather is? Her grandfather is Bai Qiao Shan, the mad general from back in the day. If we kill Bai Zhiqing in Xiangjiang, do you think that madman would let us off the hook?"
Peng Tianlong took a heavy puff of his cigarette; he had only recently received the news that Bai Zhiqing was the granddaughter of Bai Qiao Shan. If he dared to kill Bai Zhiqing, he couldn’t imagine the consequences. Bai Qiao Shan, the notorious madman who fought ferociously without regard for his own life. If Bai Zhiqing were to be killed, who knew if he would lead a group of brothers and come straight to Xiangjiang to seek revenge.
For a madman, anything was possible.
"Then what if we kill Lu Tianxing, her husband, will there be..." Tao Fangfang hesitated before speaking.
Peng Tianhu spoke forcefully, "If we kill him, then so be it. He crippled my son; I want his life which is only just. Even Bai Fengzi can do nothing to me. Besides, this is Xiangjiang, not the mainland. If Bai Fengzi dares to come here, I’ll kill him too and then flee abroad if necessary. I refuse to believe he can do anything to me."
At that moment, Peng Tianlong completely committed to the resolution of must killing Lu Tianxing, oblivious to the fact that he was pushing his family into an abyss.
"Alright then, let’s kill Lu Tianxing."
Tao Fangfang offered a cold smile. To her, a few human lives meant little; it was not a big deal. Even before she had married Peng Tianhu, she had been the big sister of a small power, having seen all kinds of scenes. The death of a person was nothing to fuss over.
"Tianhu, what about Tianlong? You’re not seriously planning to have him spend his whole life in a wheelchair, right?" Tao Fangfang said.
Sighing, Peng Tianhu replied, "Well, what else can we do if not for the wheelchair? Haven’t you seen the medical report? His knee is completely shattered; there’s no chance of repairing it. What other options do we have?"
"Let’s deal with Lu Tianxing first," Peng Tianhu continued. "Later on, we can send Tianlong abroad to see if he can stand up again with the help of advanced foreign medical technology. If not, then it’s just Tianlong’s bad luck."
"Alas, that’s all we can do."
Tao Fangfang sighed softly, but her eyes were ablaze with a shocking murderous intent. All of this was because of Lu Tianxing; she was determined to make him pay.
As for the idea that the Peng Family could be wiped out by Lu Tianxing, it was something neither of them had ever considered. After all, he was just an outsider; what power could he have in Xiangjiang to challenge them?
Meanwhile, in the study of a luxurious villa in Shallow Bay, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Huang Yuanzheng sat at the lower end, while Huang Zhengde was seated in a Taishi Chair. On the desk lay a paper detailing the conflict that had taken place that very night between Lu Tianxing and the men sent by the Peng Family.
"Yuanzheng, what do you think of this situation?" asked Huang Zhengde, his pupils shrinking as he looked over the A4 paper.
Behind Tianhou Temple, four men had died. One had died with his breastbone smashed, another with a palm strike to the head that left him bleeding out from all seven orifices, and the remaining two had been killed from behind by some object that had pierced through them. Even someone as experienced as Huang Zhengde couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine at these simple and convenient murder methods: merciless in attack, refraining only when choosing not to attack. This, perhaps, was the truest depiction of Lu Tianxing.
Such a person was the most terrifying; if you didn’t offend him, all was well, and he would leave you alone. But if you did offend him, your life might well be on a countdown.
After hearing his father’s words, Huang Yuanzheng took a deep breath and slowly said, "The cause of this incident is quite clear: Peng Tianhu made a move on Lu Tianxing, who obviously knew that these men were sent by the Peng Family. He then lured them to a secluded location to strike. After examining the scene and gathering information from witnesses, it appears that five people from the Peng Family were involved, but only four bodies were found. Clearly, the last man did not die; Lu Tianxing showed mercy."
"Do you know why he showed mercy?" Huang Zhengde asked with a flicker in his gaze.
Huang Yuanzheng shook his head, saying, "However, I have two guesses. The first is that after killing these four, Bai Zhiqing stopped him from further action, and out of consideration for his wife’s feelings, Lu Tianxing spared the last man. But this guess is hard to Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today! My second guess is that Lu Tianxing deliberately spared the last man, perhaps as a warning to the Peng Family or as a messenger delivering a declaration of a warning or war."
If Lu Tianxing had been there to hear Huang Yuanzheng’s analysis, he probably would have given a thumbs-up. Being a policeman, his arguments were logical and sound. The only reason he spared the last man was indeed to send a warning to the Peng Family.
