Chapter 1520: Chapter 1513: I Choose the First Option

But before Sun Xiong could truly become happy, Lu Tianxing’s next words directly crushed the hope that had just risen in Sun Xiong’s heart.

”The third choice is that I’ll kill you now, so you don’t have to worry about becoming a cripple or a joke. After all, death is like a light extinguished; if you die, you won’t have to worry about anyone mocking you. Even if they do, you won’t know it. Young Master Sun, don’t you think this makes sense?” Lu Tianxing said, looking at Sun Xiong with a nonchalant smile.

”Boom!”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s calm words, Sun Xiong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body trembling violently, his expression filled with fear to the extreme. With a trembling voice, he said, ”Third Young Master, no... don’t kill me, I... I can give you money, I can give you a lot of money. Please, don’t hold a grudge against me for this, spare me this time, okay?”

”Do you think I lack money?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Sun Xiong, a faint smile appearing on his face: ”You can choose now. Remember, don’t challenge my patience. I’ll count to ten, and after ten counts, if you haven’t decided, I’ll assume you’re choosing the second or third option.”

The smile on Lu Tianxing’s face looked to Sun Xiong like the face of a demon.

And at that moment, Lu Tianxing began the countdown.

”Ten.”

”Nine.”

”Eight.”

Lu Tianxing’s voice was light and calm, yet carried an unprecedented sense of pressure, as if the death knell was sounding, continuously assaulting Sun Xiong’s mind, making him feel as if he were standing at the Ghost Gate, with a massive blade hanging over his head, ready to fall and cut him in half at any moment. Sweat on his forehead was rolling down like rain.

No one around spoke; it wasn’t that they didn’t want to speak but were completely frightened. They were just ordinary people, perhaps with more money, but had never seen such a brutal side, where a disagreement leads to crippling or even killing someone. Though they knew they lived in a society governed by law, inexplicably, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s third option, a feeling of belief emerged that if Sun Xiong chose the third option, Lu Tianxing would indeed mercilessly kill him, and nothing would happen to Lu Tianxing.

As for Bai Jingjing, she was completely stupefied, not daring to speak, her legs trembling, almost sitting down on the ground.

”Four.”

”Three.”

”Two.”

The calm voice echoed in the hall like a rhythm, making everyone’s hearts involuntarily beat with Lu Tianxing’s words.

”No, stop counting! I’ll choose the first option, I’ll choose the first!”

Sun Xiong let out a hysterical scream, his mind completely shattered in that last moment, wholly occupied by fear.

Lu Tianxing listened to Sun Xiong’s words, a cold smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he paused the countdown and looked at Sun Xiong coldly, without any action.

Sun Xiong glanced at Lu Tianxing, took a deep breath, said nothing more, and staggered towards Xue Man.

At this moment, Sun Xiong chose the first option, kneeling on the ground to apologize to Xue Man. Compared to becoming a cripple or a dead person, begging for mercy was the best choice.

After all, as the saying goes, it’s better to live shamelessly than die gloriously. If there’s a chance to live, no one wishes to die. Moreover, living means there’s still a chance for revenge. If you die, then death is truly like the extinguishing of a lamp; there’s nothing left.

Sun Xiong walked towards Xue Man step by step, his speed very slow, as if a mountain were pressing down on his shoulders. A mere two or three meters took him nearly a full minute.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sun Xiong, the esteemed Young Master of the Northern Sun Family, who garnered attention wherever he went, bent his knees slightly. Accompanied by a thud, he knelt before Xue Man, like a stray dog.

What!

He really knelt!

As Sun Xiong knelt down, everyone around was stunned, staring with surprise at the scene, their eyes ultimately falling on Lu Tianxing, filled with shock. Though they didn’t know what the Northern Sun Family entailed, anyone who wasn’t foolish knew it must be a big force. Yet, the Young Master of such a powerful family was so terrified by just hearing the name Lu Tianxing that he willingly knelt and apologized without a word. Then what about Lu Tianxing’s identity; isn’t it even more terrifying?

Curiosity flashed in everyone’s hearts, but no one dared to speak, afraid of getting burned.

Kneeling on the ground, Sun Xiong’s body trembled even more violently, an unprecedented sense of humiliation sweeping from his heart. His hands tightly clutched his knees, his fingernails digging into his skin, seemingly numb to the pain.

He lowered his head, hiding the expression in his eyes filled with a crimson hue, his whole being like a venomous snake, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, Sun Xiong lowered his head and said, ”Miss Xue, it was my blindness that caused me to offend you. I hope you won’t hold it against me and overlook my transgressions. From now on, I promise to retreat wherever you appear, Miss Xue. Please spare me this time.”

Xue Man was completely stunned at this moment. Although she knew that Lu Tianxing’s identity was unusual, being the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, she had never imagined that Lu Tianxing’s identity could be so terrifying.

Since Sun Xiong had entered the room, he had been emphasizing that he was from the Northern Sun Family, which showed that the Northern Sun Family’s power must be quite strong. Yet, a young master from such a powerful family was frightened by the mere mention of Lu Tianxing’s name. This was something she found hard to accept, and it was the first time she viscerally felt the terrifying power backing Lu Tianxing.

After speaking to Xue Man, Sun Xiong took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, lifted his head, and impassively looked at Lu Tianxing, saying, ”Third Young Master, I’ve done as you asked. Are you satisfied now?”

”Satisfied, I am, of course, satisfied. Now, Young Master Sun, please proceed to the next step!”

Lu Tianxing smiled at Sun Xiong. He was fully aware of Sun Xiong’s murderous intent but did not take it to heart. The reason he spared Sun Xiong today was that this was Xue Man’s classmates’ gathering, and with so many people watching, it wouldn’t be appropriate to resort to lethal force. If it were another setting, he wouldn’t mind showing Sun Xiong what death meant.

Moreover, third time’s the charm. If Sun Xiong dared to trouble him again, he wouldn’t mind sending Sun Xiong on his way. After all, he had many enemies already; adding another Sun Family to the list wouldn’t matter.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a trace of bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in the depths of Sun Xiong’s blood-red eyes. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, grabbed his left arm, and exerted a slight force.

”Crack!”

The sound of bone breaking echoed around, involuntarily sending a chill down hearts, giving an empathetic feeling. This guy was too hard on himself.

With his arm torn off, Sun Xiong’s face twisted, his facial muscles twitching. Due to the pain, cold sweat uncontrollably slid down his face, but he didn’t let out a single scream. Instead, he looked at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Third Young Master, please excuse me.”

”You’re welcome.”

Hearing Sun Xiong’s words, a glint flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. Casually, he picked up a cigarette butt from a nearby ashtray and flicked his fingers.

”Crack!”

The Qi-infused cigarette butt shot out like a lightning bolt, hitting Sun Xiong’s shoulder hard. With a sound akin to a heavy hammer landing on a body, the sound of bone shattering once again echoed around.

Sun Xiong’s body involuntarily stepped back, his complexion turning as pale as paper, sweat covering his forehead. Coupled with his slightly bloodshot eyes, he looked almost like a starving ghost crawling out of hell.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Xiong lifted his head and looked at Lu Tianxing, saying calmly, ”Third Young Master, may I leave now?”

”Go, of course, you can. You’re free to do so,” Lu Tianxing said lightly as he looked at Sun Xiong.

”Thank you, Third Young Master.”

These words almost seemed to be squeezed out from Sun Xiong’s teeth.

”You’re welcome. If you ever want to experience this feeling again, feel free to come to me.”

”I will, Third Young Master. I’ll remember this time.”

With these words, Sun Xiong didn’t look around but headed straight outside.

Lu Tianxing watched Sun Xiong’s retreating figure, a cold murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes. A person who could cripple his own arms and be hard on himself was undoubtedly a very scary enemy. The best way to deal with such a person was to eliminate the threat forever; otherwise, they would be the most terrifying enemy.

Anyone who could be so hard on themselves would be equally ruthless to others. Such a person was like a wolf, and if they ever caught an opportunity, they would definitely put you to death.

”Sun Xiong, it seems like you can’t be allowed to live.”

A glint of icy murderous intent flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes but quickly vanished without a trace; now was not the time to act.

Arrogant and domineering when he came, like a stray dog when he left—this was the truest depiction of Sun Xiong.

Walking out of the Qingcheng Club, Sun Xiong’s gaze was gloomy as he looked at the cold night outside, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. When he reopened his eyes, they were filled with a chilling mixture of murderous intent and frigidity that made hearts tremble.

An unbearable humiliation, this was the greatest disgrace he had ever suffered in his life. From childhood to adulthood, when had he ever endured such humiliation, being forced to kneel by someone.

”Lu Tianxing, Third Young Master of the Lu Family, I’ll remember today’s events. You’d better pray you don’t fall into my hands; otherwise, I’ll dismember you, pulverize your bones, and scatter your ashes.”

Sun Xiong turned back to look at the hall of the Qingcheng Club, his voice hoarse and his body exuding a strong murderous intent that made him look like a wolf ready to devour a person.

This grudge, he could not swallow it. Sooner or later, he would make Lu Tianxing pay the price, a price in blood, using Lu Tianxing’s blood to wash away the humiliation he suffered today.
