Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1262: Intimidation

Su Yang waved his hand with a faint smile, ”No rush.”

Zhao Hu Zi and the others did not speak again, just watching the crowd in the middle with a ferocious gaze.

Lü Wenbang’s face was iron blue as he gritted his teeth and said, ”What... what’s going on with these people?”

”Do I need to say it?” Su Yang said, ”Everyone knows you wanted to ambush me, so naturally, I had to be prepared. They left the Shen Family Courtyard separately in the afternoon and were lying in ambush nearby, just waiting for you to show up!”

Lü Wenbang almost spat blood, how could he have expected Su Yang to have made such arrangements?

Only now did he understand that Su Yang’s conspicuous visit to the Purple Lotus Garden tonight was actually a trap, one specifically laid for him!

Su Yang’s gaze swept over the people beside Lü Wenbang as he chuckled, ”Our enemy is only Lü Wenbang. As for the other seniors here, to be honest, we have had no recent grudges or historic feuds, so it’s not really about revenge or gratitude. Therefore, I hope you would be generous and not interfere in our affairs!”

Lü Wenbang’s brothers looked at each other, and truth be told, surrounded by so many people, they were very anxious.

These people were experienced and worldly, and could naturally see that Zhao Hu Zi and his men were not weak. Coupled with the men that Su Yang had brought with him, as well as Su Yang and Lü Donglin themselves, if a battle truly broke out today, they would definitely be at a disadvantage and might even be annihilated right there!

By saying this, Su Yang was essentially telling them to leave quickly and not to get involved with Lü Wenbang’s affairs.

Indeed, these men were beginning to panic. They had originally come to help Lü Wenbang because he had made great promises to them. If they killed Su Yang, they would receive many benefits. As for brotherly affection, honestly, with so many people, it wasn’t possible for all of them to have a good relationship with Lü Wenbang.

Now, looking at the situation, if they really started fighting, not only would they fail to kill Su Yang, but there was also a high possibility they might die right here. At this moment, their resolve faltered. This was Lü Wenbang’s affair, not theirs. Why should they stay here and face death along with him?

Seeing some wavering amongst his brothers, Lü Wenbang became desperate. Of course, he knew that his relationship with these men was not so strong that they would lay down their lives for him. But if these people fled, he would truly be done for!

”Brothers, don’t listen to this bastard’s nonsense!” Lü Wenbang hastily said, ”This Su fellow is extremely brutal and resolute in his actions, always eradicating the roots to prevent future troubles. He’s only trying to confuse you. Since you’ve come to ambush him today, you’ve already become his enemies. Would he let you go? As long as we, brothers, stand united, we can overcome all obstacles. Let’s break through here together, and another day I will lead you to kill this Su fellow. The rewards I promised you will be doubled!”

After hearing this, Lü Wenbang’s brothers seemed to firm up their resolve a bit.

”Hahaha...” Su Yang laughed heartily, ”Gentlemen, if you wish to leave, then today’s incident will be as if it never happened, since we have no direct feud. However, if you continue to stay here and aid Lü Wenbang, then we will become mortal enemies!”

”Su, who are you trying to scare?” Lü Wenbang shouted, ”Today we just fell into your trap. Once we break out of here and come back to kill you another day, I wonder how long you’ll be able to fend us off!”

”Lü Wenbang, you got one thing wrong!” Su Yang said, ”They might be able to break out from here, but you definitely cannot!”

”Are you trying to scare me?” Lü Wenbang said sternly.

”It’s not about scaring you; it’s a fact!” Lü Donglin stepped forward, speaking coldly, ”Today our main target is you, Lü Wenbang. We might not even care about the others, letting them leave, but we must keep you here no matter what. We are stronger and have more people than you. Although we can’t possibly capture all of you, keeping just you here is not a difficulty at all!”

Lü Wenbang’s face instantly turned deathly pale. Reluctant as he was, he had to admit that there was no falsehood in Lü Donglin’s words.

The crowd here, if they were determined to keep only him, he really had no hope of escape. Even if his brothers were willing to help him, escape was impossible!

Su Yang looked at the brothers of Lü Wenbang, smiling, ”I don’t know what promises Lü Wenbang has made you, but if Lü Wenbang were to die, can those promises be fulfilled? Is it worth becoming my enemy for a promise that cannot be realized?”

The brothers’ expressions also changed. Su Yang’s words struck home.

Was it worth it to risk their lives here for an unfulfillable promise, and even make an enemy like Su Yang?

”Gentlemen, please.” Su Yang said with a smile.

Lü Wenbang panicked, his voice trembling, ”Brothers, do not be deceived by this Su. He always acts ruthlessly, he will definitely not spare you. We... we have practiced together for so many years, I have always cared about the brotherhood with everyone, you... don’t be fooled by this Su...”

After looking at each other, one short-statured man turned and left first.

”Junior brother!” Lü Wenbang became anxious, trying to stop him, but he was directly blocked by Lü Donglin.

The short man didn’t look back and just ran off.

Seeing this, the other brothers also ran off one after another.

Soon enough, not a single one of the initially gathered men remained, leaving only Lü Wenbang there.

Lü Wenbang, being watched by the crowd, couldn’t run away.

It’s not that Lü Wenbang had a bad relationship with all his brothers. In fact, several of them had a good rapport with him. But Lü Wenbang was powerful, the head of a family from the Capital City, arrogant and cunning. After returning to the Capital City, his contact with these men waned.

Furthermore, given tonight’s situation, these people knew staying to help him was a certain death sentence. And their relationship with him was not strong enough to risk their lives with him, so naturally, no one stayed.

Watching everyone escape, Lü Wenbang’s expression turned to complete despair, knowing he was doomed this time.

Taking in the people who surrounded him, Lü Wenbang suddenly clenched his teeth and shouted resolutely, ”Su Yang, do you dare to fight me, one on one?”
