Chapter 460: Chapter 457
After scanning him for hidden weapons, when the check was complete, he shook his head at Li Tingze and left.
Li Tingze, with a smirk bordering on a smile, looked at Lu Xiao and said,
“Mr. Lu is truly formidable. Even knowing there’s a tiger on the mountain, he dares to come without bringing anything. Aren’t you afraid of being eaten by the tiger?”
At those words, Lu Xiao let out a soft snort and lightly replied,
“Bringing nothing, perhaps because the tiger is merely a sick cat?”
After that remark, Li Tingze: “…”
The smile at the corner of his lips gradually stiffened.
He just stared at Lu Xiao, intently.
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and everyone standing around the table gradually stopped to watch him, the silent gunsmoke seemed about to explode at any moment, and Li Tingze suddenly burst into laughter, laughing softly.
Then, he suddenly said to the people at the table,
“What are you waiting for? Won’t you offer Mr. Lu a seat?”
As soon as he spoke, someone immediately got up and gave up their seat to him.
Facing directly—Li Tingze.
Lu Xiao walked over and promptly pulled out a chair to sit down.
There he sat, facing a group of skilled men, yet he completely disregarded them, showing not even a hint of fear in his eyes.
He even picked up a new pair of disposable chopsticks and a dish, calmly saying, “Then I’ll help myself.”
Speaking, he picked up a slice of raw mutton and swirled it in the boiling pot for several seconds before stuffing it into his mouth.
Watching this scene, a hint of unusual light flashed in everyone’s eyes.
This man had come alone, without even a companion, and that was already saying something. He didn’t even carry a dagger or the like on him. Did he not think much of it, or was he truly—fearless?
Even capable of calmly eating mutton hotpot in front of them.
Li Tingze watched this scene, the arc of his lips deepening, but his eyes growing colder and more intense.
At that moment, he slowly stood up.
Then he walked step by step to the side, where a struggling youth was lying on the ground. He half-knelt down, grabbing the youth’s hair and violently yanking it back.
The bloodied youth was thus forced to lift his head, breathing heavily.
Li Tingze stared at him, suddenly smiling and asked, “Tell me, who did you sell me out to before?”
As these words slowly fell, the youth gasped, blood spurting out, barely able to utter a complete sentence, but his gaze shifted towards Lu Xiao.
But Lu Xiao acted as if he hadn’t seen anything, completely ignoring their internal struggles and indifferent to their life or death.
Li Tingze suddenly grabbed the youth’s head and slammed it against the wall…!
Thudding repeatedly, he banged the youth’s head several times, causing dizziness, with blood oozing from his forehead.
Afterward, Li Tingze stood up and viciously kicked him in the abdomen several times, as if venting something fiercely, and soon the youth was beaten half to death, barely clinging to life.
It seemed after the intense activity he had heated up, pulling at his tie a few times, his chest rising and falling slightly.
Then, as he turned back, he leaned forward with his hands on the table, his dark hair damp with a slight sweat hanging down, and his eyes intensely staring at Lu Xiao, his lips twitching slightly as he said,
“Why did he look at you just now? What has he told you about me before?”
