Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 557: Chapter 553: Lost? (3rd Update)

”What do you mean by that?” Upon hearing Huang Fuhu’s words, Rose’s heart skipped a beat, yet her expression remained unchanged as she calmly looked at Huang Fuhu.

Huang Fuhu, wearing a smile, did not hide anything and said, ”Actually, it means nothing much. I am aware of the strength of this man beside you, so before I spoke to you, I specially prepared a little something for him. That’s also why I’ve been talking so much; besides reminiscing, I was mainly waiting for the drug’s effects to take hold. Actually, you need not worry; it’s not some lethal poison, it merely prevents you from using your True Qi for a short time.”

No sooner had Huang Fuhu’s voice fallen than a series of exclamations erupted around them, ”Not good, President, I can’t use my True Qi.”

”Mine too.”

”Mine too.”

Hearing the voices of the Unrivaled Guards behind her, Rose’s expression finally changed. The very reason she dared to come here despite knowing it was a trap set by Huang Fuhu was her belief in Lu Tianxing’s presence, thinking Huang Fuhu couldn’t harm him. But now, if they were unable to use their True Qi, even the strongest abilities would be useless. Facing firearms, they had only one path—death.

”Tianxing, I...”

Looking at Lu Tianxing, Rose showed a bitter smile. She was indeed too young and no match for Huang Fuhu, the old fox. She should have realized this sooner; if Huang Fuhu didn’t have complete confidence, he wouldn’t have shown himself.

It was her overconfidence and excessive trust in her own capabilities.

”It’s okay; don’t blame yourself.”

Lu Tianxing gently patted Rose’s back, his expression unchanging as he slowly spoke, ”President Huangfu, you truly are a cunning fox, planning every step of the way. I suppose the person who provoked us earlier was also your doing, aiming to use the scent of blood to mask this colorless and odorless severe poison and to numb us, making it easier for you to administer it.”

”You guessed it right. I am not accustomed to putting all my eggs in one basket, so of course I had to plan accordingly. Additionally, you are a mythic-level powerhouse. If you had sensed even a slight hint, my plan would never have succeeded. Once you reacted, not only would I have failed, but everyone here would have died since a mythic-level powerhouse’s destructive power is too great. But unfortunately for you, I have succeeded, and now you are like fish in a barrel.”

Huang Fuhu’s face bore a faint smile, everything now under his control, ”Alright, time is about right, Rose, my daughter, make your choice, life or death, it all depends on a single thought.”

Before the words had finished, a dozen people behind Huang Fuhu immediately pulled out a gun from their bosoms, aimed at Xiao Liu and the other Unrivaled Guards.

”President, you and the son-in-law leave first, me and the Unrivaled Guards will hold them off, hurry on.”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu’s face drastically changed. He exchanged glances with the surrounding Unrivaled Guards, let out a roar, and pulled out the weapon he had hidden in his pocket, aiming at Huang Fuhu. Regrettably, before he could pull the trigger, a slash of cold light flashed by, and Xiao Liu’s gun instantly shattered into pieces, falling to the ground, his palm gruesomely mangled by the disintegrated firearm.

The always-smiling elderly man who had stood behind Huang Fuhu appeared in front of him now, still smiling at Xiao Liu. Although smiling, his eyes emitted a chilling gleam; he had been the one to strike.

”There’s no use resisting, you can’t use your True Qi, but my men can. Do you think you can escape?”

Huang Fuhu watched Huangfu Meigui with a smile, his face showing a kind expression, ”Alright, enough has been said, my dear daughter, tell Daddy, what is your choice now?”

Rose did not speak, just stared fixedly at Huang Fuhu.

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of breathing echoing throughout.

Huang Fuhu was not in a hurry, his face still adorned with a radiant smile as he watched Rose, patiently waiting for her answer. Meanwhile, the members of the Sky Alliance around them aimed their guns at Rose and her group, their faces also wearing smug smiles.

Rose clung tightly to Lu Tianxing’s arm, as if only this could bring her a trace of warmth. She said bitterly, ”Tianxing, I’m sorry, I’ve lost, I’ve caused you harm, I’m so sorry. If time could turn back, I would rather have never met you in this lifetime. If you hadn’t met me, at least you wouldn’t have faced danger. It’s all my fault.”

Rose gave a bitter smile, gently caressing Lu Tianxing’s face, as if wanting to etch his visage into her memory forever. She knew Lu Tianxing was very formidable, but the current situation was no longer something that one person could reverse.

For a martial artist, without True Qi, they are just an ordinary person. An ordinary person, even with supernatural powers, could not survive an attack by a dozen guns, not to mention the presence of an Earth-level Martial Artist next to Huang Fuhu.

The smiling elder who had made a move earlier was a bodyguard heavily bribed by Huang Fuhu, known as Wu San, the ’Smiling Tiger,’ who was already an Earth-level Martial Artist. With him by Huang Fuhu’s side, their chances of breaking out were almost impossible.

”Huangfu Hu, you’ve won this time, I choose the first option,”

Rose took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”I can hand over all the forces of the Rose Society to you, but I have one condition.”

”What condition?”

”Let them leave,” Rose said emphatically.

”Impossible.”

Without a second thought, Huang Fuhu refused and pointed at Lu Tianxing, ”I can let you live, but the Unrivaled Guards and he must not survive. A legendary-level expert could easily kill me, and I do not wish to be targeted by a group of madmen from the Unrivaled Guards every day.”

Hearing this, Rose’s face darkened. Huang Fuhu was right, a legendary-level expert was too terrifying. Once Lu Tianxing recovered, the Sky Alliance would not be able to withstand his vengeance. No one would want to keep a bomb that could explosively shatter them nearby.

”Huang Fuhu, you are forcing my hand. If anything happens to me, the Rose Society will definitely not let the Sky Alliance get away with it—it won’t be easy for you to take over the power of the Rose Society,” Rose said solemnly.

”Heh, you need not worry about that. Without you, the Rose Society is nothing but a heap of loose sand, easily crushed,” Huang Fuhu said smilingly. As long as he handed over Lu Tianxing to Broken Blade, Broken Blade would help him take control of the Rose Society directly. With the Yanhuang Group, the Rose Society would be easily crushed, which was one of the reasons he dared to make a move against Rose directly.

Rose didn’t say anything more; she knew Huang Fuhu must have other backups in place, which is why he wasn’t concerned about the Rose Society’s retaliation. This time she had been utterly defeated, a thorough and absolute defeat without even a chance to fight back.
