482 Dont Mess With Him. (1/2)
The girl had extraordinary beauty. Her glowing skin was smooth and her body was lean but energetic. Adding the sword she carried on her back, she looked like a heroine in Wu Xia Novels.
Qiu Zhenqin and Qian Lulu both shot a surprised look at Yukishiro Sa.
They had seen this girl with Chen Fan, but what did she mean by \”her master\”, and \”get out of Lin City or die?\”
\”You are a tough guy, aren't you. No one dares to speak to me like that.\”
The middle-aged man wearing the gaudy Patek Philippe shot a cold glare at the girl and scoffed.
Liu Jinhong had made his first bucket of gold as a construction site foreman. As his construction crew grew, so too did his wealth. By now, he owned over billions of assets and was a reputable tycoon in Lin City.
Meanwhile, his burly son, whose name was Liu Biao guffawed and said: \”Master my ass, I think you have spent too many spirit stones on Qidian novels!\”
To Liu Biao's surprise, Lu Tianqiao was suddenly overtaken by fear and he hurried to stop Liu Biao. \”Xiao Biao, shut up already!\”
However, it was already too lake.
A cold light glinted in Yukishiro Sa's eyes as she unsheathed the sword on her back.
\”You make fun of my master, you die.\”
A brilliant azure blade aura shot out from the tip of the blade and sliced Liu Biao in half from the middle. Even as Liu Biao's body thudded onto the ground, he still wore a shocked expression on his face. He couldn't believe that such a gorgeous girl could have been so deadly.
\”Mur… murder?\”
Words got stuck in everyone's mouth. Lady Qiu and Qian Lulu managed to let one world out of their tightly clenched jaws.
\”Oh my god…\”
The young man was dead, but there was not a single drop of blood on the sword. By then, no one dared to overlook this seemingly meek and docile girl.
Who was she?
She was a devil reincarnate!
\”You killed my SON!\”
Liu Jinhong pointed an accusatory finger at Yukishiro Sa and shouted at the top of his lungs, nearly losing his voice.
However, he watched in utter disbelief as Lu Tianqiao came over to the girl and kowtowed to her. With a great measure of deference, he apologized: \”I am sorry for this. Please let Immortal Master know that we will follow his orders to the letter.\”
\”Humph!!\”
Yukishiro Sa snorted at him and sheathed the blade. She turned around and started off without offering a reply.
\”Brother in law, she killed my son. Are you going to let her go just like that?\” Liu Jinhong shouted incredulously.
\”Pa!\”
To his surprise and dismay, Lu Tianqiao replied to him with a heavy slap to the face. Half of Liu Jinhong's face swollen up immediately.
\”Brother In-law… you…\”
Liu Jinhong was dumbfounded.
He looked to Lu Tianqiao in disbelief and heard Lu Tianqiao refuting him hotly: \”Don't call me that! I am not your brother-in-law if you don't apologize to Young Lord Qiu and get the heck out of the city! Do that and you might live another day!\”
The sudden turn of events had pulled the rug from under everyone, including the Qiu family. They, too, were clueless as to how the table was turned in a blink.
\”Who is Xiao Qiu's classmate? The Lu family clearly had a change of heart because they are afraid of the servant girl.\”
Qiu Zhenqin tried to make sense of the shocking development in his mind.
It was obvious that Liu Jinhong was related to Lu Tianqiao since they called each other \”inlaw.\” But Lu Tianqiao was so afraid of the power behind Yukishiro Sa that he had turned against his own family.
\”Are… are you sure?\”
By now, even Liu Jinhong noticed that the tide had turned.
\”Kneel or die. Choose one.\” Lu Tianqiao hissed. \”Don't you think you can get away with this. Our Lord has spoken and his decision is final. No one in the entire Tian Nan province would dare to stand up for you.\”
Liu Jinhong shivered after he heard the resoluteness in Lu Tianqiao's voice.
He knew that his brother-in-law would not lie to him, so he must have messed up real bad this time. Having lost his last shred of hope, Liu Jinhong finally gave in.
\”Pada.\”
Liu Jinhong dropped both knees and gritted his teeth. \”I am sorry, please forgive me, Young Lord Qiu.\”
A range of emotions flashed across Qiu Yilun's face, but in the end, he said: \”I forgive you, please take it as a lesson learned.\”
Liu Jinhong rose to his feet and started off immediately, trailing behind his cronies.
A silence fell over the room as the Qiu family members looked at each other with complicated emotions in their eyes. After a while, Qiu Zhenqin finally breaks the spell. \”Yilun, who is THAT young man?\”
Qiu Zhenqin's question was vague, but Qiu Yilun knew exactly what he was asking. Even as he was about to answer, they heard a wave of commotion rise from the center of the hall.
Flanked by Lu Yanwu, Old Man Lu was making his way down the stairs to the main hall.
\”Finally!\”
Many people's eyes were lit up with excitement.
They had come to the banquet despite the short notice not for the food, but out of curiosity.
They knew under the Lu family's prosperous facade, things were worse than it seemed. Already, vultures circled above the Lu family whose fate seemed to be hanging in balance. They would swarm in and rip the family into pieces as soon as they registered a sure sign of their weakness.
