Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 560: Chapter 556: The Noble Person Behind the Scenes (6th Update)

”What a ruthless tactic,” he sighed.

Thinking this, Huang Fuhu couldn’t help feeling a chill all over his body. If he truly had killed Lu Tianxing, or handed him over to Breakblade, their fate, including that of the Sky Alliance, was predictable. Moreover, he would have to shoulder the blame for this affair, as Breakblade would certainly not mind pinning all the blame on him. When that time came, with no witnesses left alive, all would be settled.

He had calculated every possibility, yet he had not foreseen that in the end, he would become just a pawn in someone else’s game, a disposable knife in their hands.

The spirited look in Huang Fuhu’s eyes dimmed in an instant; he suddenly seemed desolate, not only because he had been outmaneuvered, but also due to a profound sense of loss about the future. When he had spared no effort in building the Sky Alliance, ambitiously craving control over Modu’s underworld, the slap from Lu Tianxing told him that all he relied upon was just a complete joke. Such a sense of loss, this intense dissonance, was unbearable.

Huang Fuhu felt as if he had suddenly gone from a billionaire to a beggar. The disparity between heaven and hell was too much to bear.

Lu Tianxing glanced at Huang Fuhu, who seemed to have aged a decade in moments, and let out a long sigh, saying to Rose, ”Rose, I’ll leave him to you, I won’t interfere in this matter.”

Rose nodded and looked at Huang Fuhu indifferently, ”Huang Fuhu, I’ve won this time, and you’ve lost.”

”Yes, I’ve lost,” he agreed.

Huang Fuhu looked at Rose, his face showing a trace of reminiscence, devoid of his earlier sense of control over everything. He seemed more like an ordinary person as he sighed and said, ”You won this round. I am sorry for what I did to you and your mother. It was my greed for life and fear of death that stopped me from seeking revenge. Go ahead and kill me! It’s been many years, and Chanchan has been waiting for a long time. It’s time for me to go down and apologize to her. Rose, I don’t expect you to spare my life; I only hope you will treat the other members of the Sky Alliance well. After all, they are your uncles who have watched you grow up from childhood. Even if you drive them out of the Sky Alliance, that’s fine. I just hope you will spare their lives and let them live out the rest of their lives in peace.”

Perhaps having fully conceded defeat, Huang Fuhu no longer exuded his usual pride and confidence. In their place were thick layers of decadence and nostalgia. At this moment, Huang Fuhu was like a regretful old father.

Rose’s expression remained unchanged, her voice cold as she spoke, ”You don’t have the right to say that. When your wife died right before your eyes, what did you do? You don’t deserve to say her name. You’re not worthy,” she declared.

”Yes, I’m not worthy, not worthy to utter Chanchan’s name. It was my fault; I was the one who wronged her, I who was too cowardly to seek revenge...” Huang Fuhu muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Your name is Lu Tianxing, right? I’ll leave Rose in your care. I hope you will treat her well; she has suffered too much already. I hope that from now on, you can treat her properly.”

”Rest assured, as long as I am here, no one will be able to hurt her,” Lu Tianxing stated firmly, making a promise to a father, not just to Huang Fuhu.

”I believe you will take good care of Rose,” Huang Fuhu said.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Fuhu looked deeply at Rose and said, ”Do it, kill me! I know you’ve wanted to kill me in your heart for a long time. Now’s your chance!”

With that, Huang Fuhu closed his eyes.

”Huang Fuhu, do you think you can gain my sympathy by doing this? Or that I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Rose’s face flickered with cold murderous intent as she snatched the gun Xiao Liu had just picked up from the ground and aimed it at Huang Fuhu’s head.

Huang Fuhu didn’t move at all, still standing where he was, as if he hadn’t noticed Rose’s actions.

”You....”

Rose looked at Huang Fuhu, her face reflecting a complex expression. Several times she wanted to pull the trigger, to end it all, but memories of happy times spent with her parents flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t bring herself to make the decision.

”Bang!”

Suddenly, Rose threw the gun in her hand away and screamed hysterically, ”Get out, just get out! Wu Sha, give him some money, take him away and find him a house to live in on the outskirts of Modu. If he dares to run, show no mercy in killing him. Huang Fuhu, don’t think that I don’t dare to kill you. I am sparing you because you’re still of use to me. Remember from now on, you’re just an ordinary man. If I hear even a hint of you trying to make a comeback, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Watching Rose put down her gun, Lu Tianxing sighed in relief, letting go of the True Qi he had mustered. No matter what, he couldn’t just watch Rose kill Huang Fuhu. No matter how much Rose hated Huang Fuhu in her heart, she couldn’t be the one to kill him. After all, it was Huang Fuhu who had given Rose her life; blood is thicker than water. If Rose really did kill Huang Fuhu, she would never be happy in this life, tormented by a thorn in her heart, the stain of patricide indelible.

”Yes, President,”

Upon hearing Rose’s words, an Unrivaled Guard nodded and said to Huang Fuhu, ”President Huangfu, please come with me!”

Huang Fuhu gave Rose a glance, sighed deeply without saying anything, and turned to follow Wu Sha out.

After taking a few steps, Huang Fuhu seemed to remember something. He turned back to look at Lu Tianxing and asked, ”Don’t you want to know the identity of the person backing me?”

”Will you tell me?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Huang Fuhu. The reason he had not asked was that he was considering whether Huang Fuhu would even reveal it. If the answer was likely to be no, asking would be futile.

”If you had asked a few minutes earlier, I wouldn’t have told you. But now, I choose to tell you because I’ve realized that no amount of power or anything else can outweigh a single word from a family member.”

Huang Fuhu spoke calmly, ”The person who gave me the Qingfeng Free and Easy Drunk and told me your identity is called Bladebreaker. He’s from the Yanhuang Group.”

”Bladebreaker?”

Hearing this name, a sharp gleam flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, and a fierce killing intent surged through his gaze. It seemed Bladebreaker could no longer be spared.

”Correct, it is him. You’d better be careful. If he doesn’t succeed once, he will not give up easily,” Huang Fuhu left these words behind without lingering any longer and turned to walk away.

Lu Tianxing watched Huang Fuhu leave, gently wrapped his arms around Rose, and held her close, ”If you’re feeling distressed, cry it out. Don’t keep it bottled up inside.”

”Wuu wuu....”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Rose could no longer hold back and started to sob quietly. She had finally succeeded in controlling the entire Underworld of Modu, yet she couldn’t feel any joy. Instead, she felt an overwhelming urge to cry, because from now on, she was truly alone.
