Chapter 178 - Not Just Strong-Willed (2/2)

Furthermore, this world of Cultivators had an influence on the financial world.

He had not known about this because he was too low on the ladder, and never came into contact with people from the world of Cultivators.

To be there that day, he had to beg and plead to get an invitation from a secret source, and it allowed him the privilege of seeing Lu Xuan’s display of power.

Up till now, that scene had remained fixed in his mind, and try as he might, he could not forget it.

To people in the financial world, the world of Cultivators was a far superior existence. To the people in the world of Cultivators, Lu Xuan was one of the outstanding individuals.

He had seen how fierce Lu Xuan was when he took a life and how he seemed to be completely above the law.

When he saw that, he knew that this was what it truly meant to be someone on top of the world!

Afterward, he had tried to gather information about him but was unsuccessful. He only found out that the man called Mr. Lu was a real big deal in Min Province and was second to none.

Several months had passed since that incident, and the government had suddenly announced the existence of the world of Cultivators while promoting cultivation practices. Their son had also awakened to his magic powers, becoming one of the Awakened, and even made connections under the Agency of Special Affairs.

He had initially believed that their family could now enjoy a meteoric rise up the social ladder. Who would have expected them to actually step on the toes of a huge superpower that nobody could afford to cross?

Even the big shots that he had to pay respects to in Min Province were ordered around like dogs in front of this Mr. Lu.

The influence that scene had on him was burned too deeply into his mind.

At this moment, he came to realize just how crazy he had been. He had not even stopped to consider that his son was an Awakened and not a regular human. Anyone who could put him in the hospital would not be a regular person, and would not be someone they could afford to provoke.

Smack!

There was another slap, but this time it was not delivered by Lu Xuan, but by Lu Zhengyu.

“It’s all your fault, woman. You didn’t bring up our son the right way, and he’s only learned how to be hedonistic, living off his parent’s riches. This is what’s caused this disaster today!”

Smack!

As he said this, he slapped the middle-aged woman once again.

The successive slaps left the middle-aged woman punch-drunk. She never expected that her own husband would not help her and even take someone else’s side against her.

From the side, the teacher Miss Liu was also dumbfounded. What was going on here?

Before this, she had thought that this stubborn pair of siblings would be in big trouble for stepping on the Lu family’s toes, but now it seemed like it was the other way around. The Lu family had chosen the wrong people to pick a fight with.

She felt like maybe they were not just strong-willed? Maybe they were actually strong like Invincible Vajras?

“That’s enough. You can stop putting on an act!”

Lu Xuan stopped him impassively.

Lu Zhengyu immediately ceased what he was doing with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, as Lu Xuan had seen right through him.

“Seeing as your wife has yet to commit a serious mistake today, I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourselves. Donate ten million to the school for them to build a new school building, and you can count it as a way of earning karma!” Lu Xuan said lightly.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Lu! Thank you very much, Mr. Lu!”

Lu Zhengyu was overjoyed. Although he felt the pinch from spending ten million, getting out of this incident unscathed was more than he could have hoped for.

Suddenly, at this very moment, there was the sound of screaming and exclamations coming from outside.
